A faint fragrance wafted.
Feng Yexuan's breath hitched, his tall frame inexplicably tensing.
He couldn't look forward; if he did, all he saw was her.
Closing his eyes, he thought he wouldn't overthink things, but after closing his eyes, her scent became even clearer.
Inhaling the unique fragrance emanating from her, his blood began to boil.
So hot...
"You... stay away from this prince!"
Feng Yexuan thought his voice was rough enough, but he didn't expect the voice that came out to be filled with a deep hoarseness.
Fortunately, Chu Qianli, who was focused on treating his wound, didn't notice anything amiss.
Otherwise, that damned woman would surely mock him.
In fact, he himself didn't know why, his self-proclaimed unparalleled composure became so fragile the moment she drew near.
He felt utterly uncomfortable, desperately wanting... desperately wanting to hold her tightly!
Feng Yexuan's face felt slightly flushed, even the tips of his ears were burning hot.
His breathing was erratic, and despite his best efforts to conceal it, his heavy breaths were still evident.
How could this be?
"Don't overthink things, I'm just treating your wound, not trying to seduce you."
If Chu Qianli still couldn't notice such heavy breathing, she would have to be pretending.
Now, she had noticed.
Perhaps it was because the distance between them was indeed a bit too close.
But his wound was on his forehead, and he was so tall that even standing, she wasn't much shorter than him.
If she didn't get closer, how could she treat his scar?
"I need to reopen the scabbed wound, apply medicine, remove the dead skin, and allow new skin to grow smoothly. Otherwise, I'm afraid the scar will really remain here."
"If... if it remains, then let it remain. Do you think this prince would... care?"
If her body weren't so close to him, the words he spoke shouldn't have been this hoarse!
Feng Yexuan cleared his throat, only to find that no matter how hard he tried, his voice remained hoarse.
He was a little displeased.
"Standing so close, you still say you're not deliberately seducing this prince?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm seducing Your Highness, is that enough?" Chu Qianli really wanted to roll her eyes at him.
"Hmph! As expected, you have ill intentions!"
Feng Yexuan exhaled, closing his eyes was no good, opening them was no good either. He had almost... he had almost pulled her into his arms!
That night on the dragon bed...
Heavens! Why would he think of that night!
He didn't even know how he had been so impulsive that night, forcing her to go from pretend to reality against her will.
Didn't he hate her immensely?
That night was truly an accident; he hadn't intended to go that far.
But thinking about it now, that accident had become the most... the most beautiful memory he had during this period.
How could he be so shameless?
"Damned woman... damned woman!"
Feng Yexuan's breathing grew heavier, and his hand finally couldn't help but fall to Chu Qianli's waist.
He didn't know if he wanted to pull her closer or push her away.
"Damned woman..."
He didn't know what he wanted to say.
Chu Qianli sensed danger. This time, it wasn't a joke.
Her expression turned serious: "It's just a little bit more, Prince Xuan, please control yourself."
"You seduced this prince first, you admitted it yourself!"
So, what did it have to do with him? It was all her fault!
He wasn't a dead man, could he have no feelings at all?
