Chapter 171

"Alright."

Chen Ning smiled and suddenly gave a large yawn. She felt a wave of fatigue wash over her.

She had already not slept for two days and two nights. There was a gentle breeze here, the environment was quiet, and the green grass was like a bed that tempted her.

"Xiao Bai, send me back. I'm tired." She gently leaned against his shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Un."

Chu Shao Bai responded, but his body did not move at all.

He was reluctant to leave.

As long as she was by his side, he would feel warm and sweet. Once he thought of sending her back to his third brother's side, his heart felt suffocated.

Chen Ning only wanted to pretend to sleep for a bit, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.

Not being able to hear her speak, Chu Shao Bai turned to look and found that she had actually fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Her sleeping face was very calm, as if she was having a good dream. Her lips were slightly curled up, just like a bright red water chestnut.

His heart suddenly began to beat faster and his mouth became dry. He wanted to look away, but he couldn't bear to.

There was a small voice in his heart that kept telling him. Kiss her, just secretly kiss her. She definitely wouldn't know.

He was bewitched by this voice and slowly leaned over to her.

Unknowingly, he was getting closer and closer to her, until her red lips were right in front of him. As long as he slightly lowered his head, he would be able to touch them.

A faint sweet scent filled the air. A few strands of her hair were blown by the wind and they flew across his face, making him feel very itchy.

There was also a little bug in his heart that was making him feel very itchy.

He closed his eyes and was prepared to kiss her lips no matter what, wanting to taste the feeling he had been craving for a long time.

A gentle breeze came and she shivered a bit. She suddenly turned around and shrunk into his embrace, as if she was seeking warmth.

This action caused his entire body to stiffen up.

His arms were straight and tightly pressed against his thighs, afraid that he would accidentally touch her body.

There was a fire burning in his heart that almost melted him.

She was in his arms, but he didn't dare to hug her.

He was still young and full of vigor, how could he resist the temptation of a soft and fragrant body.

He was afraid that if he hugged her, he would do something he would regret for the rest of his life.

But he couldn't bear to let him leave.

Only the heavens knew that this kind of situation had happened countless times in his dreams, but when he woke up, he found that it was all just a dream.

His heart was being tortured and every moment was a kind of sweet torture for him.

Chen Ning leaned into his embrace, sleeping sweetly.

In the early morning of spring, birds were chirping in the treetops.

Chen Ning was woken up by the chirping of birds outside the window.

She opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw that she had returned to her room in the Flowing Cloud Pavilion, she was not surprised.

She was still wearing the same black outfit from last night. It was neat and tidy. Even the knot on the belt was personally tied by her and had not been untied at all.

Chen Ning sat up and revealed a faint smile.

This Xiao Bai was really a gentleman who abided by etiquette. He did not take advantage of her when she was asleep to do anything improper.

"Princess Consort, Princess Consort!" Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps, followed by the sound of banging on the door.
