Tangli Fried Snow

Chapter 85 Love is as Sweet as Honey

What could be sweeter than knowing you've fallen in love with someone?

Her mind was singing, and it was the most beautiful melody in the world.

Shirley woke up in Jin Cheng's arms while singing a song in her heart.

He looked innocent and childlike as he slept.

Having trained in martial arts for many years and honed his skills in the military, he was a muscular man with long arms and a wasp waist, and his face was also so handsome. Apart from being a bit spoiled, clingy, and sharp-tongued, she had to admit that he was truly a rare and desirable lover and sexual partner...

Sherry couldn't help but chuckle softly.

The land of gentle pleasures is a graveyard for heroes. Jin Cheng really didn't want to open his eyes, but the woman in his arms had such a fiery gaze that he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at her.

Her affectionate eyes were swollen from crying for so long last night, making her look both ridiculous and pitiful.

Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, her hair was disheveled, and her body was covered with the marks he had left the night before. She looked somewhat disheveled, but her eyes were captivating, a complex and magical gaze.

She was so relaxed and comfortable, her beautiful, alluring eyes burning like torches, filled with a heart-wrenching love, staring at him intently, as if trying to see right through him.

He held the person in his arms even tighter, until she couldn't breathe.

She pounded his chest, and the two laughed and joked for a while before getting up and getting dressed.

Shirley was starving, so he ordered a table full of food to be prepared, and the two of them ate until they were stuffed.

"How did you end up working as a palace maid?" Jin Cheng finally asked her.

"What do you think?" Sherry replied.

"It's Duan Jingyu?!"

His eyes shone with a chilling light.

"Then why does Princess Yaoguang look exactly like you?" he asked again.

"Can't you see?"

"Duan Jingyu transformed me into her likeness."

Jin Cheng thought back carefully and realized that it was indeed the first time he had seen her. She still had baby fat and looked like an innocent and cute girl. After Duan Jingyu sent her away, she became much more refined and elegant. When he met her at Qingfeng Pavilion, he thought she had grown up and was just young. Now he realized that it was Duan Jingyu who was behind it.

"Could he be planning to pull off a switcheroo right under the Empress's nose in the palace?"

"He's dreaming!" Jin Cheng was so angry he almost blew the roof off.

However, he quickly calmed down, and a smug smile appeared on his face. "It seems that God is on my side this time. Haha, letting me find you first and see through his conspiracy ahead of time."

His eyes darted around, and after a long pause, he said, "You should go back to the Empress Dowager's side and take up your duties. I'll make some arrangements... You can do this and that for now..."

Sherry pouted and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "That damned eunuch harasses me all day long, he keeps staring at me and bullies me, framing me with those filthy things. If you hadn't arrived in time yesterday, your good sister would have dragged me out and tortured me. Waaah, a light beating would have left my buttocks splattered, a heavy beating would have cost me my life. You have to help me teach him a lesson."

While wiping away her tears, Shirley said, "Waaah, I thought that after watching so many palace intrigue dramas and reading so many online novels, I would be able to protect my life in the harem. Who knew that in the end I would still have to be saved by a man? I'm so useless, sob sob."

Seeing her acting coquettishly towards him, her eyes full of vulnerability and dependence, Jin Cheng felt his male chauvinism greatly satisfied, feeling both happy and angry. He was happy that his woman needed his protection and rescue, which felt really good; he was angry that that bastard dared to make a move on his woman, he was practically asking for death.

Yin Tong, the chief steward by the Empress's side, is a wicked and ruthless man who commits all sorts of evil deeds. Getting rid of him isn't impossible. But just like the treacherous ministers around the Emperor can't be eradicated all at once, that scoundrel is, after all, a capable subordinate of the Empress, and she still needs him to do things. So, he can't act rashly for the time being.

Jin Cheng made up his mind and could only coax her first, saying, "I will find an opportunity to deal with him, but not now. Let's wait a bit longer."

Sherry looked at him, sobbing, "What if Duan Jingyu switches me and Duan Xueyao if I go back to the Empress Dowager to continue my duties?"

“I have no backing, no freedom, and no martial arts skills. They have me completely under their thumb. I have to do whatever they tell me to do…” Her voice trailed off as she spoke.

“Who said you don’t have a backer? Aren’t I your backer?” Jin Cheng said with a smile.

Sherry's eyes shone with joy.

"Then you must get me out of here as soon as possible."

"Mmm," he replied, gently kissing her forehead to comfort her.

Just thinking about the sweet words the little vixen had said to him last night made his bones go weak, and he couldn't help but feel lustful again.

Before he could do anything, the little vixen whispered something solemnly in his ear again.

"You can't lie to me. My heart is a bright red, true heart. I never saw it clearly before, until last night. Jin Cheng, I love you."

Her large, dark eyes shone with an alluring light, and her warm breath brushed against his ear like orchids.

"Now that I'm giving it to you, you must cherish it, love me wholeheartedly, never lie to me, protect me, and always be good to me. If one day you dare to deceive me, lie to me, or hurt me, I will never forgive you."
