"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 84

 Under the guidance of a palace maid, Xiao Yi Chen stood at the door of the side palace hall, after waving the maid away, Xiao Yi Chen pushed the door open and entered.


It was very dark in the room, there was only the meagre light from two candles.


"Ji Ling Xue..." Xiao Yi Chen called her name as he walked forward, thinking in his mind how strange it was for Ji Ling Xue to stay the night at the empress dowager's palace, there was definitely something going on.


When Xiao Yi Chen pushed aside the drapery and stood beside the bed, he saw Ji Ling Xue lying on the bed like a beautiful serpent, he then understood everything.


Ji Ling Xue was in a very deep sleep, she had light makeup on, long black hair spread out over her head, like a waterfall encasing her fair and exquisite cheeks, her small vermillion red lips dazzling, like a rose which bloomed in the dark of night, emitting an alluring scent.


Maybe it was because the room was too quiet, so much so Xiao Yi Chen could hear his heart beating quicker, a subtle fragrance from somewhere lingered at the tip of his nose, Xiao Yi Chen couldn't help lower his head and lean close to Ji Ling Xue.


However the next moment, Xiao Yi Chen's body froze, he lowered his head to look at the peacefully sleeping Ji Ling Xue, a feeling of guilt rose to his mind, he straightened up taking deep breaths, only then did he recollect his rational which had floated away.


Recalling that he had fallen for Ji Ling Xue's trap at the mid-autumn palace banquet, Xiao Yi Chen's face darkened, the wonderful atmosphere was instantly covered by a cold air.


Raising his hand in the least gentle of manners he pushed Ji Ling Xue's shoulder, "Ji Ling Xue, hey, wake up..."


The debt from this morning hadn't been settled yet, no one can sleep well tonight!


Ji Ling Xue who was lying on the bed had her eyes shut tightly as before, as if she couldn't hear him, he shook Ji Ling Xue again for some time, Xiao Yi Chen became jittery, he got up and walked to the window pushing it open to get some cool fresh air.


The eyelids of Ji Ling Xue on the bed moved a little, cautiously she opened her eyes into a crack and took in what was happening in the room, her gaze fell on Xiao Yi Chen who stood by the window wearing the purple long gown of a prince, Ji Ling Xue wrinkled her nose, sticking out her tongue.


Ji Ling Xue had to admit Xiao Yi Chen was truly a gentleman, just now when she had drunk the empress dowager's tea, she had gotten nervous, thinking of many outcomes, and was on guard, but things didn't head in a bad direction.


Ji Ling Xue looked up at the drapery hanging from the bed and sighed, it seems Xiao Yi Chen really didn't like to get close to women, could it be...he really liked men?


Ji Ling Xue's imagination roamed uncontrollably as to whether Xiao Yi Chen was a bottom or top, whether he liked that trusted advisor of his, that man looked rather weak, seems to be a good match for him.


Xiao Yi Chen turned around at the right moment to catch Ji Ling Xue with her eyes open staring at the drapery, he wrapped his hands around his chest and leaned against the wall, "You're awake?"


Ji Ling Xue suddenly shuddered, turning to give Xiao Yi Chen an awkward smile: "Prince, you also came into the palace?"


"You abandoned this prince at the clothing store, then you entered the palace, what did you want?" Xiao Yi Chen's words carried a murderous intent, it seemed if he did not hear a satisfactory answer, something really bad would happen. 


Ji Ling Xue turned over to sit up, innocently shrugging her shoulders, "The empress dowager was the one who told me to often visit her, the promises between us women, I don't have to tell you everything right?"


Xiao Yi Chen: "It's best if you hadn't done anything detrimental to this prince, this prince hates traitors the most."


Ji Ling Xue gave an indifferent smile, looking simple-minded.


Suddenly Xiao Yi Chen approached Ji Ling Xue in large strides, scaring Ji Ling Xue to hug the pillow and shrink back into a corner, "A grown man such as yourself, wouldn't be fighting with me over the bed right?"


Xiao Yi Chen sat on the bed, tilting his head to look at JI Ling Xue, "Have you lost your memories, we're a married couple, it's not a problem for us to sleep in one bed?"


Ji Ling Xue blinked, then she watched Xiao Yi Chen raise his leg in a natural manner, a black cloud bottom boot appeared in front of her.


Xiao Yi Chen said: "Take of this prince's shoes."


Ji Ling Xue: "..." He was treating her like a maid?!


Ji Ling Xue curled her lips, looking like she would rather die than obey him.


Xiao Yi Chen sighed, shaking his head he took off his own shoes and went to bed, until Xiao Yi Chen started snoring, Ji Ling Xue had not come back to her senses.


That night, Ji Ling Xue of course did not sleep well, there was a man in the room, it made her entire body tense, how could she peacefully sleep.


The bed was occupied by Xiao Yi Chen, Ji Ling Xue sat on the soft couch beside the window gazing at the stars.
