"Tell me, what other lies can you come up with?" he said, his tone dripping with disdain. It seemed that was all there was to it.
Xiao Yu's grip tightened as Song Feiwan found herself ensnared in his embrace, feeling as fragile as a willow branch. She struck at his arm, but he remained unmoved.
Instinct for survival kicked in, and she tried to pull her hand into her sleeve to retrieve the silver needles she always carried. Xiao Yu was well aware of her defensive instincts; with lightning speed, he seized both of her delicate wrists, pinning them down with unyielding strength.
"Let go of me," she managed to say between labored breaths.
Xiao Yu stood firm, the coldness in his eyes unwavering as a sinister smile curled at the corners of his mouth. "Song Feiwan, I have warned you before; soon you will witness the consequences of deceiving me."
Realizing he truly intended to kill her, Song Feiwan kicked against him and struggled violently against his chest. "I didn’t lie to you! I have proof!"
She felt herself on the brink of suffocation, dizziness overwhelming her as darkness clouded her mind. Fear gripped her heart, but it was soon eclipsed by a deep-seated hatred. The villain would never convict someone based on evidence; he acted without restraint, disregarding the Emperor, the Consort, and the Rong family entirely!
For anyone he deemed guilty, there was only one fate—death!
She was about to die at the hands of this madman!
Once she managed to finish speaking, Xiao Yu finally released her. He no longer restrained her, but having just clawed her way back from the brink of death, she felt utterly weak and leaned against him, resting her head on his collarbone.
Tearing off her mask, Song Feiwan gasped for air. It took a moment before her vision cleared from the haze of darkness. She lowered her eyelashes to hide the fear and resentment swirling within her from Xiao Yu's gaze.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down her cheek and fell onto his chest. The faint sound echoed in her ears like a heavy tolling bell; even without a mirror, she could imagine how disheveled she looked.
Shaking herself slightly, she struggled to stand upright before him and finally met his eyes. The handsome man waited patiently for her to provide proof.
Song Feiwan found herself in a difficult position, feeling compelled to take a gamble. With tears in her eyes, she spoke in a choked voice, "Even if my mind forgets, my body remains honest; it will remember everything."
As she finished speaking, she slowly bent down, wrapping her arms around his neck and drawing closer to him. In a whisper that only the two of them could hear, she said, "If you dislike this, feel free to push me away."
She closed her eyes, and as her lips approached him, Xiao Yu finally realized how she intended to prove her words. The unique fragrance that belonged solely to women enveloped him, weaving around them like a delicate thread. Her entire face was flushed, with her ears especially red.
A circle of red marks adorned her fair neck, a testament to his touch. It felt as if a perfect painting had been marred, leaving him feeling unsettled. What he found even harder to ignore was the increasing proximity of her lips. Just the thought of their impending contact made his mouth dry.
Time seemed to stretch infinitely as his gaze darkened and his Adam's apple bobbed nervously. Realizing that if he didn’t stop her now, she would truly kiss him sent a wave of irritation through Xiao Yu. He only wanted to punish her; he didn’t intend to force her.
"Stop," he finally spoke, pulling away.
Song Feiwan kept her eyes closed, her heart racing. Had she begun to loathe him even before their lips met? As he withdrew, he couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if he lost control.
After a brief pause, she pretended not to hear him and leaned in again. Xiao Yu tilted his head slightly, and her lips brushed gently against the corner of his mouth.
Sensations intensified—warmth, softness, sweetness. The tension in his mind snapped suddenly.
