Winter Blossom

Plans in action

Waking to the sound of Mo Yuan entering the chamber with a fresh pot of tea and breakfast on a tray, Bai Qian lazily threw her arms above her head and stretched her body out like a Cheshire cat only she would have looked even more adorable had her bones not cracked and made Mo Yuan chuckle at her.

Looking at her arms, she frowned.    "Ugggh.... you were too rough last night Physician.  I'm sore all over." she groaned as she raised her wrist to show him the bruise he had left behind after tying her to the bed to keep her from running away after working him into a frenzy with the intention of leaving hard and out in the cold.

Laying the tray on the side table, he moved to sit down beside her before taking her arm into his hand.  Then lowering to her wrist, he kissed the bruised wrist softly. 

 "I'm sorry my dear.  But you did deserve it." he said , and despite the soft tender kisses that followed, there wasn't a hint of compassion or even remorse in his tone which had her eyes narrowing in on him.

Forcing a few tears onto her lashes, she raised her doleful eyes up at him sadly.  

"My body has aches that belong to the elderly.  You're going to wear me out before my prime." she whispered tearfully before fluttering her lashes to force the tears to fall.

Chuckling at the attempt to gain sympathy when she herself was at fault, Mo Yuan lathed her wrist with more kisses before slowly dragging them up her arm towards her neck.

It wasn't exactly what she had in mind, because she really was very sore, but allowing him to kiss her neck and then swipe at her ear, she eventually pulled back to lay her head against his shoulder.  

And very soon, the playfulness was over as a plan they had agreed to began to take hold seeing as this would be her last day with him for a little while, or at least until she had managed to put their plan into action.

"I am going to miss you.  We have been together for three years in the Mortal Realm and then again for a week.  How long do you think it will take for father and Zhe Yan to fall for it?" she asked as the tears became real ones.

Looking down at her soft smile, Mo Yuans eyes sparkled with mischief.  "They already know that we are together but planned to prank us.  "Instead, you are going to go home and act love sick and forlorn for your secret lovers company while going through the motions of preparing for your marriage to The War God." he said grinning at her.

"Then, the night  before the wedding, we disappear to my home in the Mortal Realm which no one knows about.  Then on the morning of the wedding, you return home to inform them all that you refuse to marry me, because you are in love with someone else and have already married them in the Mortal Realm." he said finishing it which earned him a very big smile in return.

"Yes, but the best part will come when I insist on going to Kunlun Mountain with my family to break off the wedding in person, which I know my father will insist on me doing..... and the moment my feet hit the entrance and before I even get a look at you, I will magically don my wedding outfit and we get married for real." she said laughing.

"Good girl, that is exactly what we are going to do.  However five weeks is a very long time, so I expect to see you at least three times a week until then.  We can meet up at the Peach Tree Grove and return to your home if you like, but I would rather you come and spend a little time in mine, I think you will like it very much." he suggested as he then lifted her bowl of porridge to feed her himself.

"Where's your breakfast?" she asked looking at the tray set up for one.

"I have already eaten.  This is solely for you, then we play." he said with a twinkle in his eye.
