Chapter 361: Wife, Let’s Consummate our Marriage
The sudden, forceful declaration of love struck Xia Weibao like a hammer, violently crashing into her heart.
As she gazed into his eyes—that were ferocious yet resolute—she felt her soul shudder.
It was the kind of determination that said he would drag her to death with him if he had to, a madness that insisted on storming through heaven and earth, even the Biluo Huangquan, with her by his side!
She had seen that look in the eyes of the Dog Emperor before.
It was after she had entered the palace and said for the first time that she couldn’t stand it any longer and wanted to leave.
That day, the Dog Emperor had the same gaze.
He said that in life she belonged to him, and in death, her soul was his too; that even in death, she should never think of escaping him.
At that time, she just thought the man was too overbearing, but now, seeing the same look in another man’s eyes, it was as if she understood something...
That cup of poison just before her death...
Suddenly, her mind was stirred up like a tempestuous sea, and intense emotions were about to burst from her chest.
However, just at that moment, her chin was forcefully seized, disrupting her train of thought.
Lu Hualiang forced her to look directly into his eyes, "Xia Weibao, did you hear me clearly? Don’t even think about leaving me. Not in this lifetime, not in the next, not ever!"
Empress, don’t think about leaving me, not in this lifetime, not in the next, for all eternity, you can only be with me...
Similar words, the same face, they kept overlapping in her mind.
Xia Weibao’s heart was in turmoil, and for a moment, she truly felt that Lu Hualiang was Emperor Xia Liang.
The two of them were just too similar.
Yet, she was clear that he was not.
He was Lu Hualiang, not her Dog Emperor.
This realization snapped her once muddled mind back into clarity.
She tried to break free from his restraint, "Let go."
Lu Hualiang sneered with madness in his eyes, "Let go? Never!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head to nibble gently on her earlobe.
The warm, moist sensation made Xia Weibao’s body stiffen.
The heated breath in her ear made her tremble all over.
"Wife, let’s consummate our marriage."
His kisses trailed down her cheek to the nape of her neck, gently kissing her there.
"I want you."
He wanted her, badly, desperately.
Ever since he realized his affection for her, he had been madly longing for her.
In the past, he didn’t want to force her; he wanted her willing consent.
But now, he was afraid.
Some say that once you possess a woman’s body, her heart will gradually gravitate towards you.
Whether it was true or not, he wanted to try.
Xia Weibao was trembling.
Nervousness, fear, terror, and indignation made her body shake more and more violently.
She wanted to struggle, but was pinned down so firmly that she couldn’t break free.
"Don’t, let me go, Lu Hualiang, you’ve gone mad!"
Lu Hualiang looked up, his gaze dark and profound as he gazed upon her beautiful face, "Yes, I’ve gone mad."
Gone mad because of you.
While speaking, he extended his long hands to gently unfasten her buttons.
One, two, three...
"Don’t!"
"Do you want to call someone over?" Lu Hualiang asked with a mocking smile.
Seeing the mist in her eyes, fragile and pitiable,
His heart clenched fiercely, feeling a twinge of reluctance to proceed...
But, this barrier had to be crossed sooner or later.
Thus, with a hardening of his heart, he covered her eyes with his hands.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Be good, I’ll be gentle, gentler than him."
Xia Weibao’s limbs were icy cold. Gentler than him?
Who was ’he’ referring to?
Could it be that he knew about Emperor Xia Liang?
As this thought surfaced, the warmth in her body quickly dissipated, leaving nothing but coldness.
