Married to Ke Qing

Chapter 13

Even at that moment, when Ning Guang said that she would take the initiative to investigate who poisoned the past me, it would seem that it could make one doubt why it would be so important to her? After all, although she can be called a pretty good person in some ways, without a proper dose of cruelty, she simply would not have been able to grow from an ordinary orphan to the richest woman in Liyue, and perhaps even in all of Taiwat, and many of her rivals, who decided to test this woman's strength, ended up regretting her.

So why did she decide to help us? It's actually quite simple. Ke Qing is part of Qixing and unlike Ning Guang herself, she still had fewer suitors. And leaving such a precedent without a proper reaction could be bad, after all, who knows, maybe someday, the Will of Heaven Li Yue herself will decide to get a partner and it would be better if no one even tries to think about spoiling something, besides, she would not miss the opportunity to get more benefit from the situation.

What am I getting at? Well, to be honest, I don't really understand all this politics and business. In my opinion, it would be possible to agree on providing a share in a future project in a couple of minutes, but they have been discussing the terms for half an hour and several cups of tea, not to mention lunch.

"These conditions suit me well," Ning Guang nodded with satisfaction.

"Or they will finish it after all," I couldn't help but think when my eyes, full of boredom, finally brightened from the understanding that they had finally finished the discussion.

- And so, regarding the port infrastructure...

"Or not," I thought and, suppressing a sigh, sipped tea from the mug, not paying attention to how the girls looked at me.

"He's so funny," Ning Guang suddenly said.

"A little bit," Ke Qing nodded with a slight smile on her lips.

- Excuse me? - I really didn't understand how it happened that I so suddenly became the topic of their conversation.

- Oh, nothing special, Mr. Yun, I think I've already taken up enough of your time, so I think I'll be going.

As we escorted Ning Guang out, I immediately looked at Ke Qing with a clear hint that I wanted to know.

"Your face is too expressive, and it was a little funny how you reacted to what could be considered a point in the discussion, and how you reacted when Ning Guang started a new round.

- So you really could have solved everything much faster and were playing with me? - I asked with slight displeasure.

- Yes, I'm sorry, - the girl was upset.

- Oh, come on, I'm not offended. - He scratched his cheek out of awkwardness. Besides, looking at her, I really don't want to see her upset.

- Haaah, why are your emotions so strong. I can't get used to it. - the girl sighed heavily before looking into my eyes. There, in the depths of her amethyst, sparks seemed to flare up again, like back in the room. - I want to feel it too.

Ke Qing came up close to me. And yes, this time I knew she wouldn't mind, so without waiting for someone to interrupt us again, I leaned over and kissed her. We were both inexperienced in this, so at first the kiss was quite chaste, but the feeling of her soft and gentle lips made butterflies flutter in my stomach and, more importantly, I felt a response from the girl's emotions, and she herself eventually began to try to deepen the kiss. I don't know how long we spent kissing like that, but I woke up as if from an obsession, when the girl's strong hands slightly pushed me away. As it turned out, I was already holding her in my arms, pressing her against the wall. We were breathing heavily from the wave of feelings that we ourselves experienced and involuntarily shared with each other, thereby merging into one whole on an emotional level.

"Wait Yun Che... I'm not ready for more yet." The girl said, breathing heavily. I felt that if I insisted, she wouldn't refuse. She couldn't refuse even a simple kiss, because of the connection we felt so good that it was simply mind-blowing. But there's always one thing, but... I don't know how she'll react when the storm of feelings subsides, perhaps she won't be able to live without me, but there's always the possibility of a negative reaction from her.

- And you won't refuse just kisses? - I leaned my face towards her, not letting go of her hands.

"No," she almost whispered before she sank her lips into mine.

Meanwhile, while the couple was completely absorbed in each other, they did not notice how several maids with flushed faces, trying to remain unnoticed, were peeping at what was happening in the corridor.

- How enviable. - a simultaneous sigh sounded from the four young girls, who, looking at each other, nodded understandingly.

"Miss Ke Qing, she is so beautiful. But the young master also looks like a dream come true," one of the girls said.

"Yes, I wish I could spend the night with one of them," Yuan Li suddenly said something incredibly bold.

- Be quiet, or they might hear you, - hissed another maid, before adding affectionately, - And yet such a couple, even on the outside they seem to be made for each other. Oh, if only I had such a couple, as if they were made for me.

- They stopped, let's hide! - Yuan Li whispered loudly, all the maids immediately hid behind the furniture, listening for the sound of footsteps, but the only thing they heard was an echo of a small conversation, and then a small groan. The girls who came out of their hiding places returned to the observation post and although they did not see what they expected, they still continued to watch the kissing couple with strange interest.
