After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Xie Xing boldly spoke up: "So, Your Highness, is it possible that you treat me differently because you haven't had enough contact with women?"

Jun Lanjin: "..."

Jun Lanjin smiled, then parted his thin lips slightly; "Get lost."

Xie Xing coughed lightly: "Then what does Your Highness like about me?"

With a favorability rating of 60, Xie Xing really couldn't understand why Jun Lanjin liked her.

Jun Lanjin rubbed his fingertips, tilting his head to look at Xie Xing: "Why do you have to ask until you get to the bottom of it?"

"Does this king need a reason to like someone?"

Xie Xing was stunned for a moment.

"If I didn't dislike you, why would I have repeatedly helped you and allowed you to act so presumptuously in front of me?"

"If I didn't love you, why would I care whether you live or die?"

"Now do you still want to ask me why I like you?"

Xie Xing stared blankly at Jun Lanjin for a long while before blinking and coming back to his senses. Just then, he heard Jun Lanjin say:

"I rescued you from the palace, intending for you to stay quietly by my side, but I never expected that you, though timid, would do such a daring thing."

"Since I couldn't find you, I naturally realized your importance."

"However, I never expected that upon our reunion, you would give me such a wonderful surprise." Jun Lanjin said, giving Xie Xing a cold laugh.

"First, you ran off to become someone else's concubine, which is bad enough, but in front of me, I also have to witness the disputes between you and Luo Hanfeng."

"And what am I, King?"

Xie Xing shrugged.

She was indeed wrong to say that.

"Xie Xing, have I been too gentle with you, making you think that I can be easily fooled?"

Jun Lanjin stared intently at her with his dark eyes.

Xie Xing opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Answer my question." Jun Lanjin moved closer to Xie Xing, hooked Xie Xing's chin with his finger, and met Xie Xing's eyes.

His strength was not heavy, unlike Luo Hanfeng's domineering force that prevented anyone from breaking free.

Xie Xing was half-squatting by the bed, while Jun Lanjin sat on the bed and approached Xie Xing, looking down at him with unfathomable depths in his dark eyes, making it impossible to discern his expression.

His white undergarment loosened slightly with his movement, revealing his voluptuous figure underneath.

Without any constraints or leaving her nowhere to escape, Xie Xing's chin was gently lifted by that slender finger. It was as if an invisible cage gradually appeared around Xie Xing, eventually imprisoning her within it.

Without any forceful measures, the cage seemed to contain an alluring poppy, captivating people and making them willingly remain within its confines.

Xie Xing swallowed, his gaze moving from Jun Lanjin's high nose bridge to his pale pink lips.

She had kissed those lips a few times before; they were as soft as jelly.

For some reason, Xie Xing didn't want to answer Jun Lanjin, but wanted to kiss him instead.

For the first time, Xie Xing placed her hands on the edge of the bed, leaned forward slightly, and gently pressed her lips against Jun Lanjin's lips.

Jun Lanjin seemed not to have expected her to do this. His originally deep black eyes suddenly changed, and he looked down at Xie Xing in astonishment.

What an audacious woman!

Xie Xing only kissed Jun Lanjin lightly, and then pulled away immediately.

This was Xie Xing's first time kissing, after all. She pursed her lips and even stuck out the tip of her tongue to lick them.

It doesn't seem like enough.

Jun Lanjin naturally saw her actions, and he opened his mouth: "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xing had already stood up and leaned down on Jun Lanjin once again.

Jun Lanjin was right. He was indeed weak and helpless at the moment, and Xie Xing easily pinned him down.

His thin lips had barely opened when Xie Xing took them into his mouth.

This time, she didn't just take a quick bite; she gently traced the shape of Jun Lanjin's lips, and then, with satisfaction, intertwined her fingers with Jun Lanjin's, pressing his hands against the bed.

Jun Lanjin's eyes widened.

He never imagined that he would be pinned down on the bed and forcibly kissed by a young girl today.

After the initial surprise came anger. He tried to turn away to avoid Xie Xing's kiss, but felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if he had been electrocuted. Jun Lanjin, who had never experienced a kiss before, was stunned.

Their breaths were filled with Xie Xing's scent, and an ambiguous atmosphere lingered between them.

They kissed for quite a while, until they were both out of breath, before Xie Xing finally pulled away from Jun Lanjin's lips.

This is incredible.

Jun Lanjin stood with his hands outstretched to his sides, staring blankly upwards, his chest heaving violently, his lips so red they looked as if they were about to bleed.

It looked like it had been ruined.

Xie Xing: "..."

She pursed her lips, her fair cheeks flushed, and the excitement in her eyes hadn't even faded yet. Seeing Jun Lanjin's expression, she couldn't help but kiss him again.

"Your Highness, kissing you is quite pleasant." Xie Xing licked his lips.

No wonder Luo Hanfeng likes to forcefully kiss people.

Just one kiss and you're like this? Who doesn't like kisses!

Jun Lanjin: "..."

He snapped out of his daze, a surge of anger rising in his eyes: "Xie, Xing!"

Jun Lanjin was truly angry.

Xie Xing was startled and immediately got up from Jun Lanjin.

"Your Highness, I'm so sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Xie Xing retreated back to the bedside.

Jun Lanjin: "..."

Jun Lanjin took two quick breaths, his fists clenched, and finally he sat up angrily from the bed, glaring at Xie Xing.

Xie Xing blinked.

Her gaze was fixed on Jun Lanjin. She wondered if it was just her imagination because Jun Lanjin was only wearing an undergarment and his hair was not tied up, but she felt that he did not have the same unapproachable aura as usual.

So delicate.

It will fall over if you push it.

like.

whee.

Xie Xing smiled and said, "Your Highness is truly handsome."

Jun Lanjin: "..."

He wiped his lips, threw a pillow at Xie Xing's face, and scolded, "How can you, a woman, be so shameless?!"

Xie Xing shrugged, lowered his head, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was too impulsive."

Jun Lanjin glared angrily at Xie Xing: "Is this what I want to hear?"

Xie Xing: "It's all my fault, Your Highness, please calm down."

"I will never do that again!"

Jun Lanjin's expression turned completely cold. "Xie Xing! If you continue to be so unreliable, I will kill you!"

Xie Xing: "..."

With a thud, Xie Xing knelt down.

"Your Highness! Please don't kill me! I'll never do it again!"

She was about to cry.

Jun Lanjin looked coldly at Xie Xing: "I don't want to hear this. Since you kissed me, I will assume that you like me and that you will become my queen in the future."

what? !
