The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Taking along Hui Lan, this afternoon Mu Xi Yao went to the study in a lissome and gracious manner, seeking an audience with Zhong Zheng Lin.

Wei Zhen looked at this mistress like looking at a ghost. What a rare sight it was. Beside that one time when his Highness has personally brought this one here, she has not even once come in during this long time. Even when sending a meal she had him go to fetch it from Danruo courtyard. How come she came this time?

When Zhong Zheng Lin received the news he was also a little bit surprised. He let the person in, only to see Mu Xi Yao in a claret-colored dress that made her body look shapely. Due to the pregnancy, the position of her waist tie was higher, which just made the fullness of her breasts become even more prominent. He immediately felt somewhat uncomfortable and changed his sitting posture. Subsequently, he asked her, "Did you have an afternoon nap?"

Mu Xi Yao replied yes with a charming smile. She went over and placed her hands on Zhong Zheng Lin's shoulders. Lowering her head, she softly inquired, "Does your Highness have time now?" Her eyes looked very expectant.

"What is it?" Zhong Zheng Lin thought about those not too urgent matters. It was not impossible to postpone them.

As soon as Mu Xi Yao saw his expression, she knew he did have time. With a face beaming with a smile, she handed him the book in her hand, "Read a book to the baby." The soft and pliable voice of hers made Zhong Zheng Lin's body to go soft.

Zhong Zheng Lin was moved by Mu Xi Yao's attentiveness. He thought of her more and more affable temper. She was, indeed, a soon-to-be mother. She had an aura of a softness that emitted around her body.

Zhong Zheng Lin nodded as a sign of consent. He opened the book as per Mu Xi Yao's instructions. While holding her in his arms, they leaned against the couch-bed. His one hand caressed her lower abdomen, while the other flipped through the book. His voice was low and leisure as he read.

Zhong Zheng Lin read very seriously. His expression was mild. The big hand he used to caress her abdomen carried a warmth.

Mu Xi Yao raised her head to look at the handsome side profile of this man. Listening to his rich and relaxed voice, she thought that this man could be counted as a good father. His love for the child could be seen through his face. When she thought about raising a child with this kind of man, her heart didn't feel repelled by the thought.

Zhong Zheng Lin has read for a quarter an hour. Just as he was about to take a sip of tea, he saw the woman in his arms look at him with an expression that overflew with tenderness. The heart string inside him instantly taunted. Watching the woman's eyes that bared such a tenderness, Zhong Zheng Lin's heart turned into an utter soft mess. He only felt his heart that was beating out of control.

Mu Xi Yao felt the handsome face in front of her getting closer and closer. Soon after, her lips were captured and lightly lapped on. She closed both of her lids. Her tongue slowly started to respond to him. In exchange, she received more of the man's intrusion.

Zhong Zheng Lin released Mu Xi Yao. Looking at the little woman leaning against his chest, he chuckled. Subsequently, he nipped at her little red ear, sweeping it in his mouth and sucking it.

"Your Highness, ticklish." Mu Xi Yao raised her head. She glanced at him displeased. Her springful gaze was filled with a sensual charm.

What she did not know was that this kind of appearance was a pure entice in Zhong Zheng Lin's eyes. He hasn't been intimate with fair sex for several months, having a hard time enduring. That day, Tang shi's kneading evoked a heat inside him, but he had forcefully suppressed it and didn't vent it out. Now, before him was the woman he had feelings for, whom he was satisfied with from head to the toe. When confronted by such a temptation, how could Zhong Zheng Lin resist?
