Chapter 203: Stealing Sleep and Missing Sleep! Caught in the Act! "Why are you kissing my man?!_2
Chen Mo's eyes flickered with amazement.
Lin Catcher usually wore a martial robe, but now her attire had softened her brave and heroic aura, adding a gentle elegance typical of a genteel young lady.
"Mr. Chen…"
Lin Jingzhu stepped forward.
Seeing Chen Mo lying on the bed with only a thin blanket covering him, revealing his strong and well-built muscles, a blush appeared on her cheeks, "What time is it now, and you're still sleeping in?"
Chen Mo said, "I just finished a case and came back, a bit tired… Why is Lin Catcher here?"
Lin Jingzhu smoothed the skirt along her waistline, revealing its curves, and sat at the edge of the bed, "My mother said you saved my life and we should come to thank you, so she dragged me along… She's chatting with Lady Chen in the front hall right now, letting me come to see you first…"
"It was just a small favor, Lady Jin Yun is being too polite." Chen Mo shook his head.
Seeing he did not look displeased, Lin Jingzhu finally relaxed, her tone lightening a bit, "Did Mr. Chen handle this case smoothly?"
"Just a few little demons, it's been resolved." Chen Mo did not elaborate.
"Well, that's good…" Lin Jingzhu replied softly.
A moment of quiet enveloped the room.
With her head slightly lowered, Lin Jingzhu fiddled with her skirt and said, "It's been many days since we last dispelled the Chill Toxin... shouldn't we do it again?"
Recalling the scene from last time at the Xuanqing Pool, her face flushed slightly… they had come so close to being caught by the Empress.
"Now?" Chen Mo glanced at the wardrobe, hesitating, "Maybe another day, it's a bit inconvenient today."
"Inconvenient?"
Lin Jingzhu was puzzled but noticed Chen Mo's gaze and quickly realized what he meant.
Is he hinting that I should change clothes?
This dress is too cumbersome, with its layered clothing over the underwear, it indeed makes treatment inconvenient.
Anyway, my mother and Lady Chen are going to be chatting for a while… with slight hesitation, Lin Jingzhu removed the outer layer of thin silk and then loosened the ties at her back.
As the long skirt slipped off, it revealed skin as delicate as sheep fat jade.
She was wearing a cloud-patterned silver camisole underneath, showing her rounded shoulders and elegant collarbone, her white arms folded before her, forming a gentle curve.
The slim waist showcased clear lines, and her long, straight legs conveyed the unique flexibility and strength of a martial artist.
"Mr. Chen, is it convenient now?" Lin Jingzhu asked softly, her pretty face flushed with red.
?
Chen Mo's throat moved slightly, "That wasn't my intention…"
Before he could finish, Lin Jingzhu climbed onto the bed, grabbed Chen Mo's hand, and pressed it against her Heavenly Pond Acupoint.
Just separated by a thin camisole, he could clearly feel the rising heartbeat and the warmth under his palm…
A blush spread from her ears, turning her cold, white skin a soft pink, like the tender core of a Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus in bloom… her voice quivered slightly with a hint of shyness:
"Mr. Chen, we can start now…"
"..."
Right now, Mr. Chen, skilled in healing, was caught in a dilemma.
He knew Shen Zhixia was secretly watching from the wardrobe, yet he couldn't just push Lin Jingzhu away, reluctantly activating the Qi Blood Power with Vitality Essence, channeling it into her heart meridian.
This time he was exceptionally focused, without a trace of improper thoughts.
Just hoping to finish the treatment quickly, lest the vinegar jar overturn!
As the Chill Toxin was continuously expelled, white mist emanated from Lin Jingzhu's head, soon filling the whole room with haze.
The moisture soaked her thin undergarments, clinging tightly to her body, outlining her figure clearly.
Lin Jingzhu leaned weakly against him, as if all her bones had been removed, her ruby lips parted slightly: "Mr. Chen, didn't you forget the crucial step?"
Chen Mo asked in confusion, "What step?"
Lin Jingzhu blushed and whispered, "During detoxification, we need to kiss…"
Chen Mo: "..."
...
Shen Zhixia, hiding in the cramped wardrobe, watched the two through the cracks.
She hadn't really thought through, acting on a sudden impulse only to feel a bit of regret afterward… clearly, she was the legitimate fiancée, so why did she feel like a mistress sneaking around?
Since Lin Jingzhu had already entered the room, it wasn't the right moment to show herself, she had no choice but to stay hidden.
Initially, everything seemed normal, but after a few pleasantries, Lin Jingzhu started taking off her clothes…
"Liar, it's not pure at all!"
Shen Zhixia watched aggrievedly, feeling as if she could hang a wine pot on her little mouth in protest.
Apart from Daoist Qingxuan, the Households Commander Li, and the two girls from the Imperial Music Bureau, he even flirted with Lady Lin!
"I already felt something was off between them at the Heavenly Element Martial Examination… My brother is such a flirt!"
After observing for a while, confirming they indeed were healing, she felt slightly relieved.
However, she soon saw Lin Jingzhu moving closer to Chen Mo, pouting her rosy lips, and speaking about "kissing" and such…
Shen Zhixia couldn't hold it in anymore.
She abruptly pushed the wardrobe door open and jumped out, shouting angrily:
"Stop it!"
?!
Lin Jingzhu was startled, and her expression froze as she turned to look.
"Miss Shen?"
"What are you doing in the wardrobe?!"
Hands on her hips, Shen Zhixia puffed up angrily, "I'm here because I want to, can you stop me? How can you kiss other people's fiancé!"
Lin Jingzhu wished she could find a hole to hide in out of embarrassment, casting an ashamed glance at Chen Mo, she whispered, "Mr. Chen, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
