Ni Qing is turning her body on top of his sturdy chest. She is examining his handsome face with his long eye leash. His tall nose compliments his cool aloof face.

"Did you not remember about begging me to continue and not stopping?" Jin Yu is opening his dark emerald eyes. Ni Qing blushed red after hearing his word as she is remembering his torment before accepting and screaming out as his wish.

"Your highness… are you waking up?" Eunuch Wang is asking his master from outside their tent. Jin Yu is getting annoyed when his personal time got invaded. However, he realises his duty as the country ruler.
