Chapter 73: The Rogue Rabbit

The muscles beneath his palm bulged, the heat radiating through a layer of vest, accompanied by the strong, steady beat of his heart.

Xu Jiaojiao froze.

But after a long while, the man remained still, only the sound of his even breathing could be heard.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

He had fallen asleep!

Relieved, she carefully shifted down.

Her hand crossed over his legs, reaching the edge of the bed, and she carefully climbed onto the bed.

But she had forgotten how loose her clothes were.

The hem of her clothes, carrying a faint fragrance, brushed lightly against the man’s thigh.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but Xu Jiaojiao felt the room grow even hotter.

It was as if a fire had been lit.

But she listened closely, and the man’s breathing remained steady as ever.

She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She guessed he must have drunk too much, the alcohol was taking effect.

Thinking this, Xu Jiaojiao’s initially tense nerves gradually relaxed.

But not long after she lay down, the scorching kiss from that day flashed through her mind, domineering and passionate.

And the man was lying right next to her!

Realizing this, Xu Jiaojiao’s heart began to thump wildly again.

Since she was aiming to become a beloved concubine, she had learned everything she should and shouldn’t know.

Thinking of the secret techniques the system had forced her to learn, and then thinking of the tall, imposing man beside her.

Xu Jiaojiao’s heartbeat became even more erratic.

Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to shift her attention.

She began to try to recall the information she had touched today.

But her contact time was too short, besides Erni’s information, only the words “destiny” remained.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiaojiao’s throbbing heart slowly calmed down.

Thinking of destiny, she thought of the man’s incredible luck.

Her heart became heavy.

Was she made to reach 100% favorability just for this?

But the system was nowhere to be found now, Xu Jiaojiao couldn’t figure it out.

However, she could feel that it hadn’t completely detached from her.

Perhaps it would restart at some point.

The time left for her was not much.

And she still didn’t understand why she could suddenly control it?

Sighing, Xu Jiaojiao gently turned over.

She was facing the tall figure beside her.

She had a feeling that if their relationship went further, it wouldn’t be long before she reached 100% favorability.

And how could she possibly harm him?

But how could she refuse?

After all, they were legally married, and he had expressed his feelings.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiaojiao’s brow furrowed.

For a while, she couldn’t think of any good solution.

She turned over again, and after an unknown amount of time, she fell into a deep sleep.

Just as she fell asleep, the man beside her opened his eyes.

He turned his head to look at the small figure beside him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He paused, then reached out, lovingly pulling the delicate woman into his arms.

Only then did he feel the empty corner of his heart being filled.

But this satisfaction only lasted for half a minute, Qin Shuo couldn’t help but change his expression.

It turned out that the little woman didn’t sleep peacefully, her fragrant and soft body turned towards him.

Her small head rubbed against his chest, mumbling something unintelligible.

Her cute and adorable appearance made Qin Shuo, who was holding her soft body, tense up!

The veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and sweat slowly trickled down from his temples.

The woman’s faint fragrance lingered in his nose, gradually eroding his reason.

It was as if the next moment, he would break free from his cage, uncontrollably.

But thinking of the thing lurking in the shadows, watching them, Qin Shuo forcibly suppressed himself.

His expression turned ugly once again.

Xu Jiaojiao had another dream.

In her dream, she was back in the small rental house.

Seeing the large plush rabbit on the bed, she paused.

She remembered how uncomfortable it was the last time.

Ignoring it, Xu Jiaojiao lay down on her own bed and rolled over.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the plush rabbit entangled her.

She didn’t know what happened, but she couldn’t break free.

The more she struggled, the tighter she was entangled.

In a daze, she felt a tingling sensation on her neck, as if something had pricked her.

She mumbled a curse in her sleep, then heard a low chuckle.

Low, husky, full of magnetism…

Xu Jiaojiao froze, mesmerized.

And the tingling sensation crawled up her chin, about to cover her lips.

Xu Jiaojiao woke up abruptly!

But the moment she opened her eyes, her lips were fiercely blocked.

The man’s kiss was still domineering and passionate, leaving her no room to resist!

The faint stubble on his face pricked her, both painful and itchy.

But the extreme charm of his hormones made her unable to help but indulge.

“Wife, wake up.”

It wasn’t until she heard his low, husky voice with a hint of laughter that Xu Jiaojiao suddenly woke up.

She realized that it was already bright outside.

And she was still held in the man’s arms.

The two hands wrapped around her waist were the rogue rabbit from her dream!

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Did he unlock some strange function?

“Let go!” She pushed his hands away in embarrassment, secretly cursing him as a stinky rogue.

Xu Jiaojiao suspected that he hadn’t slept much last night.

Because the rogue rabbit had harassed her for most of the night!

But before she could push him away, her lips were sealed with another kiss.

The next moment, she was lifted from the bed by him.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

What kind of strange function did he unlock?

“Jiaojiao, hurry up, they’re releasing water today! Don’t be late!”

Suddenly, Ding Xiujing’s voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this voice, Xu Jiaojiao felt guilty, as if she were a thief.

She pushed his chest again.

Fortunately, the man finally didn’t make things difficult for her this time.

He let go of his hand, and she slid off him!

But at one point, Xu Jiaojiao’s face suddenly turned crimson, and her whole body froze.

Although she knew this was a normal reaction, she was still surprised.

“Go wash up first.”

Qin Shuo calmly helped her stand up, but his voice was hoarse.

“Okay.”

Xu Jiaojiao was still a little dazed and hadn’t come back to her senses.

She mechanically picked up the toiletries on the table and was about to go out –

“Careful!”

“Bang!”

Her head collided with the door, making her see stars, and Xu Jiaojiao finally came back to her senses.

But she was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear on the spot!

Ignoring the concerned gaze behind her, she pulled open the door and ran!

Qin Shuo, who remained in the room, was also a little uncomfortable. He waited for a while before going out.

The voices of the two sisters-in-law could be heard outside.

“Jiaojiao, why is your face so red?” Ding Xiujing looked at her strangely.

“It’s too hot!” Xu Jiaojiao said without changing her expression.

Ding Xiujing: …

It had just rained this morning!
