The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 69. The Thorny White Rose

"What's up, your honor?" xiao Mingyui asked as he glanced at Xiao Jiwang with the tail corner of his eyes, his hands slowly returning Xiao Jiwang's embrace.

Xiao Jiwang shook his head, his embrace getting tighter.

>>>>>>

Xiao Mingyui pushed slowly Xiao Jiwang to hear the man's explanation. This was the first time that Xiao Mingyui had felt the unusual aura and embrace of Xiao Jiwang.

Xiao Jiwang frowned in confusion as Xiao Mingyui pushed him slowly to stare at each other.

"Now you refuse my embrace?" asked Xiao Jiwang.

Xiao Mingyui shook her head, then pulled Xiao Jiwang to sit on a long sofa located not far from his mattress. They sit close.

"It's not like that, but I would like to hear the noble reason for visiting here at midnight like this, and .... through the window?" xiao Mingyui asked as he glanced at his still-open window.

Xiao Jiwang shook his head slowly. "not important. Do I have to have a special reason first to meet my own fiancee?"

Xiao Mingyui frowned slightly, Xiao Jiwang currently seemed to be magnifying an unnecessary matter. The man acted like a kid who wasn't bought a toy. His tone also sounded to hold back the irritation.

Xiao Mingyui let out a thin sigh, then slowly pulled Xiao Mingyui into his arms again. He did not know the reason Xiao Jiwang suddenly behaved strangely like this.

Xiao Jiwang smiled faintly, then returned Xiao Mingyui's embrace tightly. When Xiao Mingyui was about to glance towards the door of her room due to the worry that Bingbing had suddenly entered delivering dinner, Xiao Jiwang suddenly raised Xiao Mingyui's body, making the woman sit right on her lap.

"Your highness, my servant will come in to deliver dinner. If they-"

"You can ask them to put it on the front, right? No need to get to the inside of the room?" cut Xiao Jiwang.

Xiao Mingyui grew even more astonished, why was the man suddenly aggressive now?

"What actually happened? You are acting strangely tonight," Xiao Mingyui said, then his right hand moved stroking Xiao Jiwang's head.

Xiao Jiwang was stunned, he did not expect Xiao Mingyui to realize his uneasy feelings. The man immediately recalled what he saw earlier this afternoon in the boutique and late afternoon in front of Xiao Wangfu's gate. The two corners of Xiao Jiwang's brows fused together, then asked, "How does it feel to be accompanied around the boutique with Fang Laowang?"

Xiao Mingyui raised his left eyebrow at a glance. "How does it feel to be accompanied around a boutique with Xie Wanting?"

Xiao Jiwang clucked. "I asked expecting an answer, not a return question." Then he buried his face like a curse on Xiao Mingyui's chest.

Xiao Mingyui's face flushed slightly because of this, then she flanked Xiao Jiwang's chin using her two fingers for the man to look up again to look at her.

"You feel uncomfortable because of that sight?" xiao Mingyui asked.

Xiao Jiwang nodded, he did not answer anything.

Xiao Mingyui chuckled, then said, "Aren't you also doing the same with princess Xie?"

Xiao Jiwang was upset. "But I don't like it and you're acting like it's an opportunity."

"A chance?" xiao Mingyui asked confusedly.

Xiao Jiwang nodded. "The chance to turn away from me."

Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly, then she hugged Xiao Jiwang again, making the man immerse his face back in Xiao Mingyui's chest. They both enjoyed this moment.

"It's gonna be over soon. A little more" whispered Xiao Mingyui.

Xiao Jiwang nodded, then slowly raised his head back to kiss Xiao Mingyui's lips.

Xiao Mingyui frowned again when she felt Xiao Jiwang's aggressive kiss, the woman had a little trouble breathing.

Xiao Jiwang hugged Xiao Mingyui even tighter, then slowly changed their position to lie on the long sofa.

When Xiao Jiwang suddenly moved about to open the first layer of Xiao Mingyui's clothes, the woman quickly held him back while shaking her head. Before long, the sound of knocking from the door sounded.

"Your highness, your dinner-"

When Bingbing was about to open the door of her room, Xiao Mingyui quickly said, "Put it in the front of my room, Bingbing. I don't want to be disturbed. You can come back and you won't have to wait for tonight."

Bingbing was stunned, then she nodded obediently. The woman thought her employer was saddened by the incident at Song Hua's boutique store this afternoon.

After Bingbing left, Xiao Jiwang chuckled as he rubbed Xiao Mingyui's face. Xiao Mingyui rushed up from the top of Xiao Jiwang's body towards the front room of his room. Xiao Mingyui's spacious room was divided into two halves bounded by a curtain board. The inside contains a bed and other personal items, while the front is just an empty table and room decoration. The front is usually used to receive secret guests or regular lounges.

Xiao Mingyui brought her dinner to the inside of her room, then returned to sit right beside Xiao Jiwang and started eating her dinner.

"You're not-"

"I had dinner before here first," Cut Xiao Jiwang, he knew what Xiao Mingyui wanted to ask.

Xiao Mingyui nodded briefly, then resumed her eating activities.

Xiao Jiwang watched Xiao Mingyui inside, then suddenly he took the initiative to tie Xiao Mingyui's hair because he saw the woman had a little trouble wearing her food with her hair down.

Xiao Jiwang stood up and walked towards the dresser of the woman, then took the ribbon tie lying there and returned to sitting in its original place. Xiao Mingyui knew what the man was about to do, so he did not move much.

Xiao Jiwang gently tied Xiao Mingyui's hair, the man was very careful not to interfere with Xiao Mingyui's eating activities.

Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly, then put down her chopsticks for a while and touched the ribbon that tied her hair. "You're quite clever, where did your majesty learn?"

Xiao Jiwang smiled faintly as well. "Morufei."

Xiao Mingyui frowned, chuckling. "Wu Guifei taught you how to tie a ribbon in your hair?"

Xiao Jiwang raised both his shoulders indifferently. "Okay, but at that moment Mufei spoke a lot. She asked me to learn all this so I could help my future wife take care of a child."

Xiao Mingyui chuckled again. "Wu Guifei is very considerate."

Xiao Mingyui resumed his dinner activities, after he finished putting all his tableware on the table and walking towards the mirror.

Xiao Mingyui sat there again, this time there was Xiao Jiwang standing behind him.

Xiao Jiwang helped Xiao Mingyui remove the artificial ribbon, then took out a comb that was lying on the table. Gently, she combed her female hair.

"Have you ever thought of becoming the 'Husnghou' most beautiful in the history of the Empire?" asked Xiao Jiwang.

Xiao Mingyui shook his head slowly. "Beauty is a relative thing, your majesty. Everyone has their own opinion."

Xiao Jiwang shook his head slowly, then looked towards the copper mirror to see the reflection of the two of them there.

"Your beauty is the beauty that will be agreed upon by all beings on this earth" Xiao Jiwang said, giving Xiao Mingyui a chuckle.

"Your majesty, you're overreacting."

Xiao Jiwang put down Xiao Mingyui's comb, then from behind hugged the woman and placed his chin on Xiao Mingyui's shoulder.

"No, look at that." Xiao Jiwang pointed towards the mirror and said, "Pearl-clear skin, as smooth as silk, beautiful and sharp eyes, as well as eyeballs of alluring blue. You'll be the most charming."

Xiao Mingyui goosebumps at Xiao Jiwang's praise, this is the latest fact he observed when it managed to make Xiao Jiwang fall in love with him. That man would be so crazy like this.

"The most dangerous woman in the Eastern Empire, the thorny white rose." Xiao Jiwang chuckled, then kissed Xiao Mingyui on the neck.
