Chapter 1975: No Guts to Enact Your Impure Designs…
Qiao Mu was still holding her arms up as she looked at the fleeing crown prince. She griped, “What an insensitive guy!”
This darling was being merciful and letting you attend to her personally. Forget the fact that you’re not grasping this opportunity, you’re actually… running away!
“Dummy!” Qiao Mu flopped into the bathtub and sprawled on the edge. She stared at the shut room door and harrumphed.
Couldn’t you just heat up the water with your fire spirit!
What hot water were you looking for…
“Hubby! The water’s too cold! Do you want to freeze this darling to death!”
Crown Prince Mo’s head finally cleared up after he ran out the door and took a breath of fresh air.
When a certain someone suddenly heard Qiaoqiao calling him inside the room, he braced himself and quickly pushed open the door to the room again.
After shutting the door, he circled around behind the screen and peeked. The little fellow’s entire body was under water, only revealing her petite head out the edge of the tub. Her long, raven-black hair floated on the surface of the water, meandering flexibly like seaweed.
“Qiaoqiao!”
…
“Where’s your hot water?” The little fellow looked at him with contempt.
Mo Lian: …Who would freakin’ remember getting hot water!
“Heat it up!” Qiao Mu sprawled on the tub while supporting her chin. She looked at him with bright eyes, her rosy cheeks adorned with several glistening water droplets.
Mo Lian hastily walked forward and generated a cluster of red flames in his palm.
Qiao Mu promptly sensed the water in the bathtub steadily rising in temperature and hummed in satisfaction.
“Hubby, aren’t you going to help me bathe?” A certain person who was sprawled on the tub blinked at the man.
Mo Lian felt his heart about to jump out.
How could this little fellow be so lovable?
Crown Prince Mo pinched her watery face and gritted, “Darling, don’t play with fire, got it?”
“I’m not playing with fire.” Miss Qiao cupped a handful of water and sprayed Mo Lian’s face with water droplets.
“This is clearly water.”
Crown Prince Mo kept gritting his teeth and moved to hug her. “If you keep provoking me, you’ll have to pay for the consequences!”
Yet the little fellow was very accommodating and stretched out her petite arms with an expression that was asking for a hug.
Her cute little face was beaded with one small water droplet after another.
The little fellow had a dazed look in the hazy candlelight, and it made the crown prince fall into a trance. He reflexively reached out to grasp her slippery hand.
The sensation instantly sent a shudder through his body, and his mind cleared up somewhat. He hastily tossed away his wifey’s hand and covered her head with a silk handkerchief. The usually resolute crown prince tripped over his words for the first time.
“You-you, bathe yourself! Hubby is returning to my room to rest!! Don’t play with water and quickly go to sleep after bathing! See-see you tomorrow, Darling!”
Skid—
*Bam!* The door slammed shut.
Qiao Mu drifted her hand over the surface of the water as she propped up her chin. She grouched in a huff, “How about the guts to carry out your impure thoughts?”
Qiao Mu quickly finished her bath and climbed out from the tub. After wiping herself dry and putting on clean clothes, she opened the window and peeked at the neighboring room. Her mind was full of ideas.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
Crown Prince Mo had just finished washing up and was sitting at the table to drink water when he heard knocking on his room door.
It wouldn’t be his wifey, right…
When Mo Lian got up and opened the door, a faint fragrance assailed his nostrils.
The little fellow took advantage of this opportunity to pounce into his arms, and Crown Prince Mo’s embrace was promptly filled with a soft fragrance and warmth!
