Empress Running Away with the Ball
chapter-704

It was unknown if Chu Shao Yang was asleep or if he didn’t hear her, but he laid on the bed without moving.

“Chu Shao Yang, help me pour a glass of water.” She gritted her teeth and pushed his shoulder. Her hand was soon quickly grabbed by a large hand.

“Un, what did you say?” Chu Shao Yang’s lazy voice sounded in the darkness, like a cat that had just woken up.

“Water, I want to drink water.” Her throat was so dry that she almost couldn’t speak and her body felt like it was about to explode.

“Beg me. As long as you beg me, I’ll give you water.” He calmly said as he sat up.

He lit the candle at the head of the bed. His eyes had a faint sparkle to them as he looked at her without blinking.

Her face was very red like a peach blossom blooming in march. Her face was blushed red, her breathing was rushed, but it smelled like orchids, and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat which seemed like crystal dew.

His eyes lingered on her as he admired her. No matter what time it was, she was always beautiful and he could never get enough.

“Chu Shao Yang, you….” She stared at him as she suddenly understood, “The ginseng soup, what did you put in the ginseng soup?”

“Ginseng soup?” He innocently shrugged as he casually said, “This king found something from Miss Chen, it was the good thing she put in this king’s wine back then. This king felt the taste wasn’t bad, so I had them put it in the ginseng soup to let you taste it. This taste isn’t bad, right?”

Under the candlelight, his smile was very innocent.

Chen Ning forcefully bit her lips until she could smell blood.

Her entire body was intensely trembling. That strange feeling was like a tide that almost swept away her reasoning, almost making her cry and beg.

No! She couldn’t beg him! No matter what, she couldn’t beg him!

She closed her eyes and used her trembling hand to grab the blanket to tightly cover herself. This was because her sweat had already soaked her clothes and she didn’t want him to see her like this.

But the heat. The heat became stronger as her face turned more and more red, causing her reason to leave her mind. She tightly grabbed her collar and wanted to rip off her clothes to let her body cool down.

No, she definitely couldn’t!

She painfully struggled on the bed as the chains on her feet clanked. She bit her lips and she did not say a single word.

“You’re being this stubborn, but why bother? You’ll be unable to contain it eventually.” Chu Shao Yang finally gave a sigh. He came off the bed and picked up a cup of water which he placed at her lips.

She immediately drank like it was sweet rain, but burning thirst deep in her heart was not relieved at all.

She was gasping as she looked up and forcefully pushed aside his hand holding her shoulder.

He revealed a smile as he wiped off the blood on her lips.

“Ning’er, this king doesn’t mind tell you that drinking water is no use. This medicine will become stronger and stronger. If you don’t receive the antidote, you’ll explode in three days. The only antidote for this medicine is me.”

He slowly moved closer to her as his breath came across her face. It was like feathers blowing across her heart, making her entire body fill with a melting sensation.

“Ning’er, as long as you beg me, I’ll give you the greatest joy in the world. Don’t you want it, un?”

“I……I……” Her reason was being slowly swallowed by the feeling in her body and her voice trembled.

“Speak. As long as you beg me, as long as you say a single word, I’ll give it to you.” He said in a gentle voice.

“No, I don’t want it!” She used almost all the strength in her to say this.
