The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 466: Ningxiao Extra (1)

Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Ningxiao Extra (1)
Panlong Palace, Jun Ning’s residence.
The night outside the window was deep, the cicadas chirping tirelessly. Inside, the red candles wept, the fire flickering brightly, as if shedding tears of joy for the lovers’ reconciliation.
After Jun Ning and Qi Xiao finished their dinner, they returned hand in hand.
Jun Ning, having bathed and changed into a loose white cinched dress, felt somewhat bored. She picked out a book, leaned by the bed, and started flipping through it.
In the adjoining room, Qi Xiao was bathing, the sound of water splashing stirring her heart, heating her whole body.
"This can’t go on, it really can’t."
"You are Jun Ning, how can you let your mind run wild like this? Are you restless at heart?"
Jun Ning mumbled to herself in a low voice, like the buzzing of a mosquito, then reached out and patted her face, trying to calm down and focus on her book.
Her gaze gradually concentrated on the book in her hands, yet as time passed, even as she seemed to flip through the pages seriously one by one, a closer look would reveal that her book was upside down.
Yes, upside down.
She had been looking at it for quite a while, yet had not noticed at all.
Her mind was a tangled mess.
She kept thinking about how she and Qi Xiao had just cleared up their misunderstandings. They were in love and married. Tonight they would probably sleep together again; it was unsuitable to find any more absurd reasons to separate.
Moreover, they had been apart for three years, their longing deeply ingrained, and only in each other’s arms could they alleviate the pain accumulated over the years.
Jun Ning was reluctant to push Qi Xiao away again.
But when she pondered the possible happenings if they shared a bed, Jun Ning grew particularly nervous.
Over the years, her focus had been on politics, handling it with increasing ease, unlike the initial struggles. However, she felt incompetent when it came to matters of the heart.
Very inexperienced, not knowing how to proceed.
She took a deep breath, rolled around on the bed, then sat up with her cheeks puffed out.
Then, she saw that Qi Xiao had finished bathing and came out.
Qi Xiao was only wearing a white robe, his hair loose, droplets of water on it. As he moved towards her, they fell to the ground, leaving a trail of marks.
"Xiao Er..." Jun Ning called out in her heart.
Once Qi Xiao reached her side, he sat down beside her, saw the book in her hands, and asked, "What are you reading?" Immediately after, he noticed the book in Jun Ning’s hands was upside down.
Undetectably, Jun Ning herself hadn’t realized it, professionally glancing at the book and ing a title.
The title was correct, corresponding to the book in her hand, but the book was upside down.
Noticing this, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Qi Xiao’s lips.
"...Let me dry your hair?" Jun Ning offered proactively.
Qi Xiao nodded, "Alright!"
Only then did Jun Ning place the book down, found a cloth, and began drying Qi Xiao’s hair. Qi Xiao was docile, remaining still as she gently assisted him.
Yet, he continuously gazed at Jun Ning, his eyes not blinking for quite a while.
His seemingly obedient gaze carried a hint of aggression.
Jun Ning, under his gaze, felt her face heating up.
"Xiao Er, these years, how have things been for you outside?" Jun Ning casually picked a topic.
Qi Xiao nodded, "Mm, not bad. When there’s a chance, I’ll tell you all about the events happening in the frontier. How about it?"
"Why wait for a chance? Today is an opportunity, why not talk now?" Jun Ning noticed Qi Xiao’s hair had been dried to the point it no longer dripped, placed the cloth down, and said, "I’m listening."
Qi Xiao laughed softly, suddenly leaned closer to Jun Ning’s ear, and with a slightly amorous, magnetic voice, said, "We have other important things to do today."
Hearing this, Jun Ning’s face flushed instantly.
Everything just now had been in her thoughts; they had barely exchanged a few words, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her heart. But now, Qi Xiao brought it up again, seemingly with the intention of making up for their wedding night.
Jun Ning swallowed, lowered her head.
After a long moment, a low chuckle came from above, and then a large hand reached out to gently grip her chin, guiding her face towards him.
His empty hand interlocked with hers.
"Ah Ning, there’s something I’ve long wanted to do."
"Mm? What is it?" Jun Ning asked.
"May I... kiss you?"
Qi Xiao looked at the beautiful and striking face before him, cautiously asking. As if fearing rejection, there was still a hint of unease and anxiety in his eyes.
Jun Ning didn’t speak; her fingertips, intertwined with Qi Xiao’s, trembled slightly.
Content, Qi Xiao smiled and leaned in for a gentle kiss.
His kiss was soft and tentative; seeing that Jun Ning neither resisted nor showed signs of discomfort, he gradually deepened the kiss.
Half an incense stick later, Jun Ning lay weakly in Qi Xiao’s embrace, breathing softly... Her lips were moist and supple, her cheeks flushed with an unusual redness.
Xiao Er really was no longer the Xiao Er in her memory; with just one kiss, she found herself overwhelmed.
