A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Chapter 348 Peeping

Ignoring Baili Jueyan's shouts from behind, they lifted their skirts and quickened their pace, fearing that the two in the garden would cause a huge commotion.

As Hua Buyu walked, she asked, "Yan Yan, do you know that Shui Yi is your future cousin-in-law?"

"Yes, if I hadn't met my brother in Yuanqi, Sister Yi'er would have married him directly upon her return this time."

"Huh? What do we do now? Xin Moling already had a lot of issues with your scoundrel cousin, and now that guy wants to steal his wife?"

"...Actually, it was my eldest brother who was engaged to Sister Yi'er first!"

She stopped abruptly, narrowed her eyes, and stared at Xin Moyan with displeasure.

"Yan Yan, it's clearly your older cousin who has done all the evil. He even plotted against Xuan Yuan. Now Xuan Yuan's life or death is unknown, yet you still keep speaking up for him."

"I……"

Xin Moyan opened her mouth as if to explain something, but suddenly lowered her head, her face full of dejection.

“I’m sorry, I also feel that what I did was wrong. Xuan Yuan has been looking for me for so long, and now I can’t do anything about it, and I’ve even had to admit that my elder brother and the others…”

"Uh... Yan Yan, I didn't mean to blame you!"

Hua Buyu scratched his head, seemingly wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

"Yan Yan, let's wait for Xuan Yuan to come back together. Or, shall we go find Xie Cangming later? He can tell fortunes, so he must know where Xuan Yuan is right now."

These words made Xin Moyan's eyes light up, and she quickly perked up.

"That's right! Uncle Xie assured me that Xuan Yuan would come to find me, so he must know something."

"That's right! Let's go find him at the Xuanming Palace after we finish eating, okay?"

"Ok!"

After Hua Buyu finished comforting them, the two smiled at each other and then turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, they heard voices coming from the flower bushes not far away, but they couldn't make out what they were saying.

"Silence must be my brother."

"Hurry up and go over there, I'll explain to Shuiyi."

The further in you go, the clearer the two figures become in the shade of the trees.

"Brother..."

Upon seeing the two passionately kissing, Hua Buyu quickly reacted, turning her head and hurriedly covering Xin Moyan's mouth to prevent her from making a sound.

She lowered her voice, almost speaking from the bottom of her throat.

"Shh! Yan Yan, don't disturb them."

"I……"

Xin Moyan blushed, feeling a mix of excitement and embarrassment. It was the first time she had ever seen her brother so...enthusiastic.

Hua Buyu pulled her to squat in the flower bushes, raising his eyebrows in a lewd manner.

"Yan Yan, let's secretly watch them."

"This is my brother! Isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? I'll take this opportunity to observe Xin Moling's kissing skills. Maybe I can even provide him with some experience!"

...Xin Moyan was speechless.

At the same time, the couple embraced tightly, as if they wanted to hold each other to their very bones.

The longing he had felt for her over the past few days had already overwhelmed Xin Moling. Before he could even clear up the misunderstanding, he met those bright, clear eyes and could no longer control his emotions. He just wanted the woman in front of him to know that he really... missed her so much.

He held Yingying's slender waist with one hand and held Shuiyi's head tightly with the other. When the passion was intense, he couldn't help but lower his head and bite her soft neck.

"Ah! Ah Ling..."

Shui Yi gasped and instinctively grabbed his collar, startled by his sudden action.

His thin lips continued to gently caress her neck, but his hoarse voice betrayed Xin Moling's emotions. He held the delicate body he had longed for day and night tightly and slowly revealed his feelings.

"Yi'er, I miss you so much. I thought I was blaming you for taking away my only sister, but just now, the moment I saw you, my heart was healed."

"For the past two months, I think I've become heartbroken, but every time I close my eyes, your every smile and frown lingers in my mind. Besides Yan'er, you are the woman I can't lose in this world. Yi'er, please... please don't leave me."

Shui Yi's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice gradually became choked with sobs, "A Ling, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"Yi'er, let's not talk about the past anymore. I only want you. Let's live a good life together as a family. I will never let you leave my side again."

As he spoke, he kissed her small, red earlobe again.

"Yi'er, Hua Buyu's child is not mine. Don't misunderstand, and don't be angry."

"No...it's not yours."

Shui Yi looked up in shock, but before she could meet his gaze, he pulled her into his arms again, holding her even tighter.

"Yes, it wasn't until we boarded the ship that we learned Hua Buyu was pregnant. She wanted me to be the child's godfather, so I accepted that it was my son. She drifted with us at sea for many days, just to find you and Yan'er. I felt guilty towards her. Fortunately, the child is fine. With so many men on the ship, she was pregnant all alone. I didn't want her reputation to be damaged, so I let the people in the palace think we had a relationship. Yi'er, you... you mustn't misunderstand us, okay?"

Whether it was the preciousness of something lost and found again, or the unease he felt about learning about Shui Yi's marriage to Baili Juebi, the more Xin Moling explained, the more he felt a sense of humble pleading, as if he feared Shui Yi would leave him at any moment.

Shuiyi leaned against him and nodded. She would believe anything that A-Ling said.

"Then...whose child is it?"

"The clouds are so flamboyant, sigh~"

Xin Moling sighed, feeling sorry for Yun Zhaoyao. Before leaving, they received news that Yun Zhaoyao had been crowned emperor in Qiyun. They wondered if Hua Buyu was aware of this.

"Why are you sighing? That silent woman's belly is getting bigger every day. Without her husband by her side, what will she do?"

"No one can communicate with that guy normally, and I don't understand Hua Buyu's thoughts either. In short, her decision is that she doesn't want the child's biological father, so let her be!"

"That……"

"Alright, Yi'er, we haven't seen each other for many days, so let's not talk about other people."

His hand tightened around her waist, and he pulled Shuiyi a step closer. His hot breath brushed against her tender face, making her blush even more.

"Ah Ling, you..."

"I...I want to kiss you again, Yi'er. You are even more beautiful than before. I just want to be with you."

A tough guy with a tender heart, his burning gaze gradually moved from his starry eyes to the tip of her nose, and then from the tip of her nose to her slightly parted, half-moistened cherry lips.

"Ah Ling~"

This time, it was Shuiyi who took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kiss him. She wrapped her arms around his strong shoulders, and tears of emotion silently streamed down her face. She also thought to herself that she only wanted A-Ling and that they would never be separated again.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Look at that hand, it's almost touching the warning line. Xin Moling is practically a natural at it!"

"Silence, let's go!"

"I haven't seen enough yet!"
