Chapter 187 Sleeping Peacefully
After she finished speaking, her pink lips curved slightly upward, like a flower blooming in spring, delicate and alluring, exuding a captivating fragrance. This smile, both playful and charming, was like the warmest sunshine in spring, capable of dispelling the gloom and worries in people's hearts.
At the same time, her bright, star-like eyes began to blink, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, shimmering with a lively and captivating light. That light was like a shooting star in the night sky, brief yet dazzling, captivating all who beheld it.
She winked at him playfully, her eyes revealing not only a hint of mischief but also an air of innocent naivety, like a little sprite dancing gracefully before him. Every movement she made seemed so natural and pure, inspiring tenderness and a desire to hold her in one's hands and pamper her.
Seeing her so lovely and charming, He Yanxi felt as if his heart, which was originally as hard as iron, had been struck by a powerful force, instantly shattering into countless tiny fragments. Then, under the influence of this force, it quickly melted into a puddle of water, becoming exceptionally soft.
His gaze was completely captivated by Qin Yaoyao, unable to look away for even a moment. Her beautiful face, bright eyes, delicate nose, and slightly upturned lips all exuded a mesmerizing charm, involuntarily stirring He Yanxi's heartstrings.
He could no longer suppress the surging emotions within him. As if an invisible force was pushing him, he couldn't help but open his arms and tightly embrace Qin Yaoyao's petite and exquisite body.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world consisted only of the two of them. He Yanxi felt Qin Yaoyao's body temperature, her breath, and her presence, and his heart was filled with happiness and contentment.
He held her tightly, as if afraid she would disappear if he let go. He wished he could meld her into his body, keep her by his side forever, and never be separated from her again.
When Qin Yaoyao's body pressed tightly against He Yanxi's, he felt the warmth emanating from her and a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance. This fragrance, like a clear spring, flowed into He Yanxi's heart, filling him with endless tenderness and affection.
He gently leaned down, close to Qin Yaoyao's ear, and whispered softly, "Okay, my darling, I will do my best to fulfill all your requests and make sure you live a happy and carefree life."
His voice was deep and gentle, seemingly possessing a magical power that stirred a ripple in Qin Yaoyao's heart. The instant his words fell, he extended a hand without hesitation, the hand seemingly guided by magic, slowly reaching towards Qin Yaoyao. When his fingers touched Qin Yaoyao's long, silky-smooth hair, his movements became exceptionally gentle, as if it were an invaluable treasure, easily damaged with the slightest care.
He gently stroked Qin Yaoyao's hair, feeling the smooth strands slip through his fingers. Each touch felt like playing a beautiful melody, intoxicating him. His movements were so careful, as if afraid that his strength might hurt her.
Then, he slowly lowered his head and brought his lips close to Qin Yaoyao's smooth, jade-like forehead. When his lips touched her forehead, he gently placed a kiss on her forehead. The kiss was as light as a feather, like a gentle breeze, yet it carried his deep love and longing for her.
Then, He Yanxi slowly raised his head, his gaze gentle and tender as he quietly looked at Qin Yaoyao in his arms. His eyes were filled with endless tenderness and deep love, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them, and everything else had become insignificant.
He Yanxi leaned down slightly, bringing his lips close to Qin Yaoyao's delicate earlobe. His breath brushed against her ear, causing a slight tickle. Then, in a soft, almost whispering voice, he said to her, "My dear Yaoyao, it's still early. Just sleep peacefully for a while and get some rest. Once you've recharged, we can play and have fun to our hearts' content." His words were like a gentle spring breeze, softly caressing Qin Yaoyao's heart, making her feel incredibly warm and comfortable.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaoyao, like a docile kitten, gently moved her petite body and slowly nestled into He Yanxi's broad and warm embrace. Her movements were soft and delicate, as if afraid of disturbing this moment of tranquility and warmth.
Qin Yaoyao tilted her head slightly, her large, bright eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky. Her gaze fell on He Yanxi's face, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, forming a sweet and lovely smile, like a flower blooming in spring, exuding a captivating fragrance.
Then, Qin Yaoyao responded softly with a voice as melodious as a nightingale's song, "Okay, then Brother Xi must stay by my side and sleep together." Her voice was melodious and graceful, like heavenly music, captivating and enchanting.
Faced with Qin Yaoyao's adorable request, He Yanxi was filled with joy and satisfaction. He nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Of course, my darling Yaoyao, I will stay by your side every step of the way and watch over you as you sleep peacefully. You can sleep soundly without worry." His words were gentle yet firm, revealing his boundless love and care for Qin Yaoyao.
Upon receiving He Yanxi's resolute and affectionate reply, Qin Yaoyao's pretty and charming face seemed to be instantly illuminated by sunlight, blossoming into a radiant smile more beautiful and captivating than the most vibrant flowers in spring. This smile flowed like a clear spring across her face, bringing unparalleled freshness and comfort to those around her.
Then, she slowly closed her beautiful eyes. Her long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, like two delicate butterfly wings, as if telling of her inner joy and contentment. This slight trembling made her eyes even more expressive, like twinkling stars in the night sky, making her incredibly endearing.
At the same time, her cherry-like lips murmured softly, "Hmm... I'm going to sleep now." Her voice was so gentle, as if she were afraid of disturbing the tiny air molecules floating in the air around her. The voice seemed to come from a distant dream, carrying a hint of haziness and dreaminess, making one unable to help but be captivated by it.
Qin Yaoyao had only intended to rest a little and take a nap, but perhaps due to the excessive fatigue of the past few days, she was simply too sleepy; or perhaps He Yanxi's broad and strong embrace gave her an unprecedented sense of warmth and security, allowing her to relax completely. In this warm embrace, she seemed to forget all her worries and exhaustion, wanting only to immerse herself in this moment of tranquility and peace. Unconsciously, time seemed to stand still at this moment, and her world became peaceful and serene. Her eyes gradually closed, as if drawn by an invisible force, slowly sinking into a deep sleep. Her breathing also became steady and even, like a gentle breeze caressing the surface of a calm lake, without a single ripple.
He Yanxi gazed quietly at the little girl in his arms, his eyes like the softest spring sunshine, warm and gentle on her. Her sleeping posture was so peaceful, like a sleeping angel, that he couldn't bear to disturb this tranquility.
Listening to her even, heavenly breathing, He Yanxi felt an indescribable tenderness welling up inside him. A slight smile played on his lips as he murmured, "What a charming little enchantress." These words seemed to be the deepest voice in his heart, and only at this moment did he dare to express them so openly.
After saying that, He Yanxi hugged Qin Yaoyao, slowly closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep. In this quiet afternoon, their dreams intertwined, as if it were a world that belonged only to them.
Time passed quietly. As the sun began to set and the evening glow streamed into the room through the window, Mu Feng tiptoed to the door. Afraid of waking the two inside, he gently knocked and then called out in a low voice, "Your Highness, are you awake?"
However, the moment Mu Feng knocked on the door, He Yanxi, like an alert cheetah, instantly woke up from his sleep. His movements were gentle and swift, as if afraid of waking Qin Yaoyao in his arms. He looked longingly at Qin Yaoyao, who was still nestled in his arms, fast asleep. Her sleeping face was like a blooming flower, delicate and beautiful.
He Yanxi gently kissed her delicate, flower-petal-like forehead, as if cherishing a rare treasure. Then, he carefully withdrew his hand from under Qin Yaoyao, afraid of disturbing her sweet dream. He carefully tucked the blanket around her to ensure she wouldn't catch a cold before turning and getting out of bed. Like a ghost, his steps were so light they seemed weightless as he slowly moved to the door. Then, he carefully pushed open the door and silently stepped out. His body exuded a cold and chilling aura, as if he were an unmelting iceberg, making people hesitant to approach.
When he stood still and spoke, his voice was like a cold wind blowing across snow, icy and piercing: "You'd better have something important to say."
Mu Feng caught a glimpse of He Yanxi's expressionless face, and his heart tightened as if an invisible hand had gripped his heart. A chill ran down his spine, quickly spreading throughout his body, making him shiver involuntarily. He said tremblingly, "Um, Your Highness, it's time for dinner. Would you like the kitchen to prepare it now, or would you like to wait a little longer?"
He Yanxi raised his head slightly, his gaze slowly turning to the sky, as if the endless blue sky could bring him some comfort. However, his eyes seemed somewhat empty and lost, as if they had lost their focus.
After a while, he seemed to snap out of his reverie and slowly said, "Let the kitchen start preparing dinner now. Yao'er will be awake soon. Ah Feng, do you know that Yao'er and I are here?"
Mu Feng quickly bowed and replied respectfully, "Fifth Prince knows, Your Highness. He originally intended to come to this courtyard to find you, Your Highness, but I stopped him. I told him that Your Highness was resting, so he took Miss Cheng with him to rest as well."
He Yanxi nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "So, have they woken up yet?"
Mu Feng quickly nodded and replied, "Your Highness, they have been awake for some time now and are currently strolling around in the courtyard."
He Yanxi's face remained ashen. He said indifferently, "Okay, I understand. Call me when dinner is ready. You can go and do your work now."
Mu Feng replied respectfully again, "Yes, Your Highness." After saying that, he turned to leave.
However, before they had taken more than a few steps, He Yanxi suddenly called him back and asked, "By the way, I asked you to monitor He Mingwen before. Has he done anything unusual lately?"
