The prince is fierce: Who dares to steal my woman?

He Qiongying looked at Xiao Jinyan with tender affection and unwavering determination in her eyes: "Jinyan, I love you too."

Before she finished speaking, He Qiongying stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Xiao Jinyan's strong neck, as if she wanted to pour out all her emotions and trust.

Xiao Jinyan's heart skipped a beat, and then his lips were completely enveloped by a warm current. Without hesitation, he lowered his head to respond to He Qiongying's kiss, passionate and deep, filled with endless love and longing.

Their breathing gradually quickened, hormones surged, and Xiao Jinyan's body involuntarily leaned forward. His hands wandered up and down unconsciously, tearing at He Qiongying's clothes again...

"what!"

Just as the passion was about to reach its peak, He Qiongying suddenly let out a soft gasp, tinged with a hint of panic and shyness.

She pushed Xiao Jinyan away forcefully, her face flushed with two delicate blushes: "Jinyan, that's enough, don't continue."

Xiao Jinyan stopped what he was doing, a hint of surprise and reluctance flashing in his eyes. He gently stroked He Qiongying's fragrant shoulder, his voice deep and magnetic: "Baby, do you want it too?"

He Qiongying lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembling gently, as if telling of her inner struggle and reluctance. After a moment, she finally mustered her courage and nodded: "Yes, I was thinking about it just now."

Immediately afterward, he added, "But let's call it a day. Let's all be patient. When we've accomplished this, I'll make it up to you doubly."

"Okay, baby, just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Xiao Jinyan's lips curled into a playful smile, and his fingers inadvertently gave He Qiongying's smooth, silky buttocks a light pinch.

This action instantly flushed He Qiongying's face. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she let out a slightly shy yet incredibly charming moan, like the most beautiful melody in spring.

"Hey, you bad guy, you'd better hurry up and leave, or I won't be able to hold back again."

He Qiongying's eyes glistened with tears, a mixture of reluctance and urgency. She gently pushed against Xiao Jinyan's chest with both hands, trying to pull him away from this tender trap, but the deep affection in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

"Well, baby, I'm off now."

With a hint of lingering reluctance, Xiao Jinyan slowly began to tidy her clothes. Every movement was calm and unhurried, yet it seemed as if she was deliberately delaying the moment of parting.

Just then, He Qiongying suddenly called out to him, "Wait."

He Qiongying's voice carried a hint of urgency, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothes, as if afraid that if she let go, she would lose something. Xiao Jinyan stopped what he was doing, turned to look at her, his eyes full of questioning tenderness.

Hug me again.

He Qiongying's eyes were filled with longing and dependence.

Xiao Jinyan's heart melted instantly, and he hugged He Qiongying tightly.

Feeling the subtle sensation of the two soft mounds against his chest, Xiao Jinyan felt an indescribable tingling and itching sensation, as if an electric current had struck his heart. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm the sudden excitement.

"Baby, I really want to hold you like this forever and never be apart."

"Just like that, hold me, I like this feeling."

Thus, Xiao Jinyan spent half a day lingering in He Qiongying's room but couldn't cross the line, which instead aroused his endless desires.

At this moment, Xiao Jinyan's adrenaline surged, yet he had nowhere to release it, like a bull in heat, restless and agitated. Just as this pent-up energy was about to devour him, a thought occurred to him…

Besides He Qiongying, Li Yuerui also lived in the manor. Li Yuerui hadn't been favored for a long time, and perhaps she could offer him some solace at this moment. Thinking of this, Xiao Jinyan suddenly stood up and decided to go to Li Yuerui's residence immediately to seek that long-lost tenderness and release.

As he walked through the winding corridor, each step he took resonated with Xiao Jinyan's rapid heartbeat, as if each step was shortening the distance between him and liberation.

Finally, he arrived at Li Yuerui's room and gently knocked on the door. The door was pulled open almost instantly, and Li Yuerui's figure came into view. She was wearing a light gauze dress, and her two slender legs were faintly visible.

However, when Xiao Jinyan saw Li Yuerui, he found that he wasn't so interested in that kind of thing anymore. It wasn't because Li Yuerui wasn't pretty; it was simply that He Qiongying, whom he had just been with, was a mature woman, a young married woman, and was far too alluring. Li Yuerui's taste was too mild, completely different from He Qiongying's more intense and sophisticated style.

It's like a restaurant serving you a plate of sweet and sour abalone, showing it to you but not letting you eat it. Now, they serve you a plate of steamed lettuce, saying, "Please enjoy, host." Do you still have an appetite?

Perhaps, at this moment, the person closest to being able to solve this urgent problem is Green Pearl.

"Husband, why are you here?" Li Yuerui's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief and surprise.

I missed you, so I came to see you.

Xiao Jinyan didn't tell Li Yuerui that he had come to see her after finding He Qiongying, afraid that she would be disappointed. He also didn't plan to tell her about the assassination attempt, afraid that she would worry.

"Husband, come inside quickly."

A gentle smile curved Li Yuerui's lips as she took Xiao Jinyan's hand and led him into the room. A faint incense scent filled the room, instantly relaxing the mind.

Li Yuerui led Xiao Jinyan to sit on the edge of the bed, then lightly leaped onto his lap, naturally wrapping her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder, and murmured, "Husband, what brings you here?"

Xiao Jinyan gently stroked Li Yuerui's soft silver hair, a tender smile playing on his lips: "Madam, does my coming to see you necessarily mean I have something important to discuss? Couldn't it be because I miss you terribly and can't be without you for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuerui's lips curled up slightly, but with a hint of mockery: "Come on, my husband is so busy, how could he have time to think about me? Tell me, what important matter is it this time?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "That's what makes Li Yuerui so likable. She speaks and acts decisively and never drags her feet. After all, she was once a member of the Imperial Guard."

"There are indeed two things, but which one should I mention first?"

Li Yuerui squirmed in Xiao Jinyan's arms like a nimble fish, and said coquettishly, "Husband, tell me quickly, what are the two things? Don't be so wishy-washy."

Xiao Jinyan patted her thigh affectionately and said with a smile, "First of all, I must tell you to protect He Qiongying. This person is no ordinary person and will definitely be of great use in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuerui's expression became serious: "Don't worry, husband. I sleep in the same room with He Qiongying almost every night and personally take care of her safety. I also know that her safety is related to our future plans, and I will do everything I can to protect her."

Xiao Jinyan was very satisfied after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Li Yuerui missed out on the opportunity to serve the emperor because of Yang Rong's interference. This time, I, the young master, will grant you the opportunity to serve the phoenix as compensation..."
