Chapter 125

Xia Miaomiao was taken aback, and her face involuntarily started to blush.

Hua Wuyou looked at Bi Yue and said coldly, "Aren't you going down?"

Bi Yue immediately reacted and knew that Hua Wuyou wasn't asking her to leave. She hurriedly kowtowed to them.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Miaomiao!"

Then, she quickly got up, went out with Purple Clothed Girl and the others, and closed the door behind them.

The three of them were still a little dazed after leaving.

Bi Yue and Auntie Zhang instinctively looked at Purple Clothed Girl.

Seeing them looking at her, Purple Clothed Girl didn't show any expression on her face. "Why are you looking at me?"

"Miss Purple Clothed, what is the relationship between Xia Miaomiao and the Master?" Auntie Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"I really don't know," Purple Clothed Girl pondered, "I don't know if the Master is serious about Xia Miaomiao."

Bi Yue held onto Purple Clothed Girl and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Purple Clothed, aren't you upset about the Master and Xia Miaomiao?!"

"Why should I be upset?" Purple Clothed Girl looked at her. "I've already told you not to discuss or interfere with the Master's private matters. What the Master wants to do is his own business. If you continue to act on your own like this, I won't help you anymore!"

"Sister Purple Clothed, do you... not like the Master?" Bi Yue couldn't help but ask.

Purple Clothed Girl frowned and reprimanded, "I told you not to say such things! The Master is the master, how could I have any improper thoughts about him?"

"But Xia Miaomiao is just a little kitchen maid, and she dares to have improper thoughts. Why can't you?!"

"..."

Bi Yue exclaimed, "You've been with the Master for so long, and she's only been here for a few days!"

Auntie Zhang quickly pulled Bi Yue and said, "Enough, stop talking. Do you want to be kicked out?"

Bi Yue pouted with some grievances and left angrily.

She had targeted Xia Miaomiao precisely because she felt unfair for Purple Clothed Girl, but she didn't expect Purple Clothed Girl to not appreciate it at all.

Purple Clothed Girl looked at Bi Yue's figure and couldn't help but sigh. "Miss Purple Clothed..."

Purple Clothed Girl looked up at the moon in the sky and said softly, "Auntie Zhang, some thoughts don't need to be shown. Showing them might actually be counterproductive and ruin the relationship."

Auntie Zhang understood what Purple Clothed Girl meant.

Purple Clothed Girl had been with Hua Wuyou for so long, so how could she not know whether he had feelings for her or not?

That's why she always positioned herself correctly and never showed the slightest admiration towards Hua Wuyou.

That's also the reason why she could stay by Hua Wuyou's side for so long.

"You are a perceptive and intelligent person, Miss Purple Clothed. I believe you will find your own happiness in the future," Auntie Zhang comforted.

Purple Clothed Girl smiled, "Thank you, Auntie Zhang."

...

Inside the room, after the others left, Xia Miaomiao got up from Hua Wuyou's embrace, and Hua Wuyou didn't restrain her anymore.

"Why... why did you say those things in front of them?" Xia Miaomiao asked.

Hua Wuyou leaned closer, and the breath that was so close made Xia Miaomiao hold her breath involuntarily.

"Now they all know that you belong to me, and no one dares to bully you," said Hua Wuyou earnestly.

"You..." Xia Miaomiao looked at his face, which was close at hand, and her heart began to beat faster. Suddenly, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, blushing as she said, "Thank you..."

Hua Wuyou was tickled by Xia Miaomiao's gesture, and his gaze instinctively fell on her lips. Slowly, he leaned in closer.

Nervous, Xia Miaomiao held her breath and immediately closed her eyes, her curled lashes trembling slightly.

As the warm breath approached, Xia Miaomiao tightly gripped the bedsheets. She couldn't hide; if she did, Hua Wuyou wouldn't believe her.

The soft lips pressed against hers, and Xia Miaomiao's mind went blank.

Hua Wuyou was taken aback, surprised that Xia Miaomiao didn't dodge.

The two of them remained locked in that position for a few seconds.

Hua Wuyou had initially planned to give her a light peck and then leave, but at this moment, he felt as if he were held in place by some sort of magic.

He moved his lips and couldn't help but kiss her lips.

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the room.

Hua Wuyou's hand, without realizing it, wrapped around her slender waist.

Suddenly aware of the situation, Xia Miaomiao hastily pushed him away.

"No... we can't..." she said, panicked.

Hua Wuyou stared at her with his deep eyes and then gently laughed. He reached out and pinned Xia Miaomiao's hand to the bed, saying playfully, "Why not? Don't you like me?" "I do like you, but I'm not someone who's casual. What's our relationship now? Are you treating me like this? Are you so irresponsible?" Xia Miaomiao said, "Unless you marry me, I won't let you treat me like that."

Marry her?

Upon hearing these words, Hua Wuyou's face suddenly lost expression. He didn't say anything for a long time, lost in thought.

Seeing him remain silent, Xia Miaomiao struggled and said, "Let go of me..."

Hua Wuyou snapped out of his thoughts, looked at her, and smiled. "Little bunny, I am a flower thief. Do you expect a flower thief to take responsibility?"

"I know you're not a flower thief, and you don't have ten wives. Don't try to deceive me again!" Xia Miaomiao said.

Hua Wuyou smiled wryly and said, "It seems that during your time in Wuyou Palace, you've come to understand me quite well."

"I... I like you, so naturally, I wanted to get to know you better. Why did you lie to me about having ten wives?" Xia Miaomiao asked out of curiosity, even though her intention wasn't to make Hua Wuyou marry her.

Hua Wuyou didn't say a word. He stood up and lifted Xia Miaomiao in his arms. "It's getting late. I'll take you back to rest."

Thinking about those snakes, Xia Miaomiao still had lingering fear. "Can you change my room? I don't want to stay in that room anymore..."

"You have quite a lot of demands," he replied.

Xia Miaomiao bit her lip and pleaded pitifully, "I'm really afraid of snakes..."

Hua Wuyou couldn't stand Xia Miaomiao's pitiful appearance any longer. He felt an intense desire to ravish her.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Then, sleep with me?"

Taken aback, Xia Miaomiao quickly responded, "No... I'm not your wife..."

"But you just kissed me earlier and seduced me," Hua Wuyou interrogated.

Mumbling guiltily, Xia Miaomiao whispered to herself, "Kissing is different from going to bed..."

She meant that a kiss was acceptable, but going to bed was not.

Hua Wuyou chuckled and said, "Alright, kiss me again, and I'll consider changing your room!"

"...?"

"Well?"

Looking up at him, Xia Miaomiao frowned and said discontentedly, "Are you taking advantage of the situation?"

"You got it right... So, do you kiss or not? If you don't, then you can stay in that room!" Hua Wuyou replied.

Hua Wuyou was about to leave when Xia Miaomiao suddenly lifted her head and fiercely kissed his chin.

"Hmph!" After the kiss, Xia Miaomiao hmphed and didn't even look at him!

Hua Wuyou couldn't help but smile, carrying her to the room not far from his own.
