Chapter 279: Emperor Third Master, Can We Be a Bit More Low-key?
"Can you build a fire now?" Di Mingjue suddenly asked. His voice was somewhat hoarse, carrying a hint of heartache.
Gu Qibao was taken aback, her heart aching, and she quickly nodded, "Yes."
"The fire is about to go out." Di Mingjue smirked, keeping his heartache at bay. He sat next to Gu Qibao, and asked seriously, "Aren’t you going to add more wood?"
"Oh." Gu Qibao hurriedly nodded, grabbing a handful of wood and shoved it into the stove.
Their interaction seemed peaceful, like a school official comforting a student, rather than a couple reuniting after a long separation.
This approach left no room for criticism. Nangong Ran, watching this scene, felt somewhat relieved. At least the Duke wasn’t going mad!
When it came down to it, he was man enough. Even though he seemed crazy when dealing with Gu Qibao, he kept his cool during crucial moments.
However, the scene was somewhat heart-wrenching to watch.
Nangong Ran wiped away a tear and focused on chopping vegetables, no longer observing the pair.
Bo Chenghe, a clever man, simply chased everyone out of the room. Those who needed to chop wood went to chop wood, and those who needed to wash things went to wash things.
The most important thing was that the troublemaker Lin Wan wasn’t here, she had gone up the mountain to weed, which was perfect.
He could keep watch outside and notify them if Lin Wan came back.
Even though Di Mingjue had come with legitimate reasons, it was best to avoid gossip if possible.
With everyone gone from the room, even Nangong Ran found an excuse to leave.
Even though the time might be short, it was enough for two terribly homesick people.
Di Mingjue was quite satisfied with Nangong Ran and Bo Chenghe’s responses and vigilance.
With everyone gone, he immediately became impulsive.
This feeling was especially thrilling, like sneakily doing something forbidden.
Gu Qibao inexplicably felt shy when everyone left and seemed awkward. Seeing the fire was about to go out again, she hurriedly added more wood.
Di Mingjue grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Baby, I missed you so much." He kissed her passionately.
Really, he missed her so much. He never longed for anyone like this before.
The kiss was earth-shattering.
It felt as though a bag of popcorn had just exploded with heat.
It was just a simple kiss, but it made them both shudder with excitement.
Gu Qibao was so overwhelmed by his kiss that she couldn’t resist it at all. She felt as if she were disarmed, her mind a total blank.
She instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.
In the depth of passion, the blazing fire in the stove made them feel hot all over.
As if bewitched, they couldn’t resist each other’s advances.
"Bao..." Di Mingjue kissed her deeply, his body temperature even higher than the blazing fire in the stove.
Only her presence could make him feel this way. A single kiss would make him feel indescribably wonderful.
"Hmm, don’t..." Gu Qibao managed to mutter between breaths.
Gu Qibao’s head exploded. This gentleman was still as audacious as ever!
Hey, is this really okay?
Dear Duke, can we be a bit more discreet?
But being discreet was not the Duke’s style. Gu Qibao not only failed to discourage him but also provoked him even more.
