Chapter 153

As he stared at her red face, Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes became dark again. He hung his head and gave her a peck on the red lips.

“Wait for me.” His hoarse voice carried strong desire, making him even more enchanting.

Duanmu Xi was still in a trance. She hadn’t recovered from that passionate kiss yet. Hearing Xuanyuan Mo’s fascinating voice, she nodded instinctively.

Duanmu Xi’s passionate purple eyes seemed like the best aphrodisiac. Xuanyuan Mo only felt an erotic sensation welled up in his heart and then quickly turned around to leave the room. He was afraid that he would directly spring on her if he took another look at her.

After Xuanyuan Mo was away for quite a while, Duanmu Xi finally came to her senses. She was shy and a bit nervous at the same time.

Was she really going to sleep with him? He was Snow but not the complete Snow.

The door was gently pushed open. Two young women walked from outside the door.

Duanmu Xi raised her head. Upon seeing them, she was surprised and then hastened to rise and go forward.

“Why are you here?”

Hua Ye’er and Chu Lian’er also smiled when they saw Duanmu Xi, “Phoenix Five brought us here.”

Prince Zhan’s mansion was so big. If it were not because Phoenix Five brought them here, they couldn’t find here for sure. Even if they did, there were so many guards including the secret guards at the door of the bridal chamber. They couldn’t come inside anyway.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s gorgeous face, Hua Ye’er couldn’t help exclaiming, “Mistress, you are so beautiful.”

It seemed that Duanmu Xi was always so stunning under all circumstances.

Hearing that, Chu Lian’er also said with laughter, “Yeah, Miss Duanmu is so beautiful. No wonder Xuanyuan Mo is in such a hurry to marry you.”

Hearing their bantering, Duanmu Xi blushed again and then looked at them, saying bashfully, “Don’t tease me. Besides, don’t call me mistress or miss anymore. We are friends. Just call me Xi.”

Hua Ye’er and Chu Lian’er were both moved by her words. Exalted as she was, she never put on airs before them. It was lucky for them to be her friends.

“Xi.”

“Xi.”

They smiled happily.

Chu Lian’er took out a scented sachet from her arms, “This is a scented sachet made by me. It’s not worth much but I hope you like it.”

There was a shimmer of nervousness in Chu Lian’er’s eyes. When she and Ye’er got married, Xi gave them the Beauty Locking Pill as the wedding present. On the contrary, she only gave Xi a scented sachet as the wedding present. She couldn’t help wondering whether Xi would mind it.

She wanted to give Xi a set of ruby head ornaments but she found it not aligned with Xi’s temperament. Besides, given Xi’s exalted identity, she must have seen various kinds of jewels. Rather than give something Xi disliked, Chu Lian’er decided to give Xi a present made by herself. It was a pity that her time was too limited. Hence, she could only embroider a scented sachet.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi took the scented sachet with a smile and looked at it carefully. The scented sachet was embroidered with a lifelike phoenix. The stitches were fine and even, which indicated that Chu Lian’er must have spent quite some effort on it.

Looking at Chu Lian’er, Duanmu Xi said seriously, “Lian’er, thank you. I like it very much.”

Such a small scented sachet was so finely embroidered with such an intricate pattern of phoenix. Clearly, Chu Lian’er had put a lot of thought into preparing it.

It had been three days only since the news of her wedding was spread. Within three days, they not only arrived here in time but also made a present for her. How could she not like it?

Hearing that, Chu Lian’er laughed. The nervousness in her eyes was gone too.

“I’m glad that you like it.”

Then, Hua Ye’er also took out her present. It was a red true love knot.

“I’m not as skilled as Lian’er. I can only make a true love knot. May you and Xuanyuan Mo live in deep love until old age.”

With a smile, Duanmu Xi took it, “Thank you. I like your presents very much.”

“Are Xue Luochen and the others outside?” Duanmu Xi dragged the two of them to the table and poured tea for them.

“Who knows whether he is outside? Xi, don’t mention him. Speaking of him, I feel so annoyed.” Upon hearing that Duanmu Xi mentioned Xue Luochen, Hua Ye’er was vexed.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi stopped pouring tea, “Why? Did you have a fight?”

She was talking to Hua Ye’er but her eyes were fixed on Chu Lian’er.

Hearing that, Chu Lian’er said with a smile, “No. How can Xue Luochen have the guts to fight with her? Now, she is under key protection.”

Duanmu Xi blinked her eyes and didn’t understand what Chu Lian’er meant.

Chu Lian’er took a glance at Hua Ye’er and then said to Duanmu Xi, “Ye’er is pregnant.”

Duanmu Xi was slightly dazed to hear that and looked at Hua Ye’er’s belly with her eyes wide open, “Ye’er, you… You are pregnant?”

Hearing that, Hua Ye’er said bashfully with a nod, “Yeah. I’m more than one month pregnant.”

Chu Lian’er picked up the tea from the table and took a sip of it, “It’s because she is only more than one month pregnant that Xue Luochen didn’t allow her to attend your wedding for fear that the baby may be affected. Then, Ye’er got mad. Afterward, Xue Luochen gave in and asked Elder Situ for a tocolysis pill. That’s why she can come with us.”

Hua Ye’er turned around to say to Duanmu Xi with aggrievances, “Xi, he didn’t allow me to attend your wedding. He is so outrageous.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi comforted her with a smile, “Don’t be mad at him. It’s simply because he cares about you.”

Hua Ye’er pouted, “I’m not that weak. He is making too great a fuss. Besides, what he cares about is not me but the baby in my belly. He doesn’t care how I feel.”

Seeing the angry face of Hua Ye’er, Duanmu Xi and Chu Lian’er exchanged glances and smiled. Pregnant women were bad-tempered, easily irritable and sentimental.

After laughing, Duanmu Xi said primly, “Ye’er, you can’t be mad all the time now. It’s bad for your baby.”

Hearing that, Hua Ye’er got uptight and grabbed Duanmu Xi’s hand, saying nervously, “Xi, is that so?”

Duanmu Xi patted Hua Ye’er’s hand to pacify her feelings, “Don’t be nervous. Negative feelings including nervousness, anxiety and uneasiness will affect the baby’s growth. So, you must try your best to keep positive, which is conducive to your baby.”

Hearing that, Hua Ye’er stroked her belly with retrospective fear, saying, “Baby, I’m sorry. I won’t lose temper at will anymore.” Actually, she didn’t want to get angry but somehow, she kept feeling agitated and uneasy recently.

Seeing Hua Ye’er stroke her belly with a soft look, Duanmu Xi and Chu Lian’er looked at each other and smiled. Mother’s love was the greatest indeed.

Duanmu Xi was slightly in a trance. That night, she and Snow… Was she pregnant too?

Seeing Duanmu Xi falling into a trance, Chu Lian’er approached her ear and bantered, “Are you thinking about what will happen tonight?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi instantly came to her senses and refuted with a red face, “No.”

Chu Lian’er waved her hand, “It’s understandable. No need to be shy. Every woman will go through that. This time, I’ve got something great for you.”

Then, Chu Lian’er took out a brochure from her arms and stuffed it into Duanmu Xi’s arms.

“What is this?” Duanmu Xi unfolded it in confusion. After taking a look at the content, she instantly threw it away as if being burned.

Duanmu Xi’s whole face turned red. She glimpsed a naked woman on top of a naked man in the brochure. This was clearly a porny brochure!

“Hey, don’t throw it away.” Seeing that Duanmu Xi threw the brochure away as if catching a hot potato, Chu Lian’er immediately went forward, picked it up and dusted it carefully, “It took me a lot of effort to find this for you. This is the most vivid one.”

Then, she just put the brochure into Duanmu Xi’s arms again.

Duanmu Xi immediately felt as if holding a hot potato. She had no idea whether she should throw it away or hold it.

Hua Ye’er looked at Duanmu Xi’s embarrassed face and then said with laughter, “Xi, don’t be nervous. It’s fine to read the brochure. It’s always beneficial to learn something about it.”

The corner of Duanmu Xi’s lips twitched. She didn’t know what to say now.

Hua Ye’er noticed it was already dark outside. Then, she said to Duanmu Xi, “It’s late. We should leave now.” They had spent the whole afternoon here. It was time for them to go back. Xuanyuan Mo would be back soon.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded. It was glad that they were here to keep her company. Otherwise, she would be bored to death this afternoon.

Arriving at the door, Chu Lian’er looked back and said, “Don’t forget to read the brochure!”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi blushed again. She held the brochure and wanted to hide it somewhere. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside so she hurriedly put it under a pillow. Then, she adjusted her clothes and sat down decently.

The moment she sat down, she heard the door was opened and then closed with a squeak.

Currently, Duanmu Xi didn’t dare to look up at all. As she heard the footsteps approaching, her heart pounded strongly.

Xuanyuan Mo arrived in front of Duanmu Xi. He looked at her wringing the hem of her clothes and felt like teasing her. Then, he lifted her chin gently and slowly bent down.

Duanmu Xi immediately closed her eyes nervously. Her long eyelashes slightly twitched as she breathed hurriedly.

“Xi, no rush. We haven’t drunk the cross-cupped wine yet!”

Hearing his hoarse teasing, Duanmu Xi suddenly opened her eyes and met his vortex-like gaze. Immediately, her eyes became misty again.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s cute appearance, Xuanyuan Mo hung his head to peck at her red lips and then turned around to pick up the two cups of wine from the table.

He sat at the bedside, passed a cup to Duanmu Xi and then hooked her arms with his.

Their bodies were closely pressed against each other. Duanmu Xi became nervous again.

“You must know how to drink the cross-cupped wine, right?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded bashfully. She knew how to do this. The chaperon had taught her.

She slightly leaned forward and pressed her red lips on the cup. As she slightly lifted her arm, she drank the whole cup of wine.

Staring at Duanmu Xi’s glossy red lips and slender neck, Xuanyuan Mo was fascinated again. He lifted his arm and drank the wine but he didn’t swallow it. Instead, he pressed his lips on Duanmu Xi’s red lips.

Duanmu Xi widened her eyes and only felt some rich wine flowing across her tongue into her internal organs.
