"What"
A moment of silence went through us and we just stared at each other, not knowing what to say next.
Xian was the first one to break that foreboding silence.
"Well you've got what you want to know" he awkwardly said, eyes roaming around the ceiling.
"What now?" I asked, literally brain dead.
Xian didn't respond and sat by the edge of the bed. I watched him curiously as he straightened the creases in his robe. He suddenly pat his lap and looked at me expectantly.
I raised a brow, tilting my head confusedly. "What?"
"Come here"
What the heck? Is he seriously asking me to sit on his lap? I thought giving him a weird look.
"Have you lost your mind?" I questioned when he kept patting his lap with that look telling me to come.
"Come on, we almost did something yesterday, it gives me the idea that you're also into men just like me" he mused, a smirk plastering onto his face.
A vein popped in my forehead as I smile.
"You know you're pushing me past that line I created" I threatened with a smile. Xian laughed and stood back up, standing right in front of me, and as always he's invading my personal space.
What does he wants now?
Xian's hand touched my shoulder and I shivered as he moved closer and whispered in my ear. "What will you do if you're past that line?"
More veins popped and I swear this guy is pushing my buttons to its limits though I gotta admit, this seduction of his is somehow working.
I suddenly felt his warm wet tongue sliding across my earlobe and a moaned escaped past my lips. I didn't look at him but I could feel the curve of his lip, he was smirking.
"If someone knows we're in trouble" I whispered, pushing at his chest.
"No one knows you're a man and even if we did something it's not really wrong"
I frowned and look at him.
"This is wrong" I spoke firmly which made him stop.
He pulled away and look into my eyes. Confusion swarming into his eyes.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
I sighed and shrug his hands off of my shoulders, stepping away from him and looking out the window.
"People won't see this as normal Xian, use that head of yours, don't let lust cloud your common sense" I argued, eyes glued at my window. I could here Xian scoffing from behind, some shuffling noises here and there and then the bed creaked.
"After you shared such intimate moments with me you're gonna say those disheartening words"
I turned my head back and glared heatedly at him. Xian was now currently sitting at the other side of the bed, staring at me with a bored look.
I don't know if it was my pride or something else but I created an argument between us. We threw nonsense at each other till our voices gets louder and louder that the servants would come and knock at the door, asking if everything's alright.
Of course it's not.
Our argument lasted for an hour. The two of us were standing there, gripping each other's robe and one wrong move one would get there face punched.
We were panting for air, frustration and anger had gotten the best of us.
"Let go" I hissed, tightening my hold on his robe.
Xian did the same but he wasn't really being rude.
"No, you first" he suggested calmly.
I gritted my teeth but did do what he said, letting go of his robe and leaving the poor fabric lots of crusts.
The argument was getting out of nowhere, none of us were making any point at all so it should be stopped. We both fixed ourselves without batting at eye at each other though my senses are tingling that Xian is glancing at me from time to time.
"That was immature of you" Xian suddenly blurted and I scoffed.
"Says the guy who argued back and was mere seconds away from smashing his fist on my face" I pointed out with a smug look on my face.
Xian shook his head and went to the door.
"I'll take my leave" just as he said that my door suddenly opened and a head popped inside. My eyes widened and I hurriedly turned away, covering my chest.
It was the Empress! And I forgot my breasts!
"Xian what are you doing here!?" I heard her say but I kept my back turned towards them while my eyes scan the surroundings.
Where is it!?
A moment of silence came upon them and I noticed it instantly. I gulped down as I heard footsteps coming near me and by the tapping noises it was the Empress.
"Don't hide I know" she spoke. Her voice was firm yet I didn't find any negativity towards me in her tone.
I slowly looked up then kept my head down.
"And when I meant I know, I really do...and I know everything"
Shame and guilt rushed through my system, my face feeling hot till the tips of my ears.
I wasn't honestly this type of person. I would never let a girl make me feel like this but right now at my situation, I feel so...small.
"Why are you here in the first place?" I heard Xian asked. The Empress turned to look at him, a grim look passing onto her facial features.
"He's in trouble." She announced.
She referred to me as he, how long does she know? I thought and listened to what she was about to say.
"Mother knows before me and I just heard this but..." The Empress hesitated and I looked at Xian who looked alarmed at the fact that his mother knows.
"But what?" We both asked in unison. The Empress sighed heavily and looked at me grimly.
"She sent someone to your The Noble Consort Li back at your home"
