Chapter 5: Chapter 2: Jun Moxiao's Pampering (Part 2)

Jun Moxiao picked up the medicine bowl, staring intently at Xia Zibing’s unblinking expression. He placed the medicine into his mouth bit by bit, then walked toward her.

How could Xia Zibing have known he would actually do this? Fine! She had been willful, but she truly detested ancient medicinal decoctions. If she were in the twenty-first century, she would never have to smell such a bitter scent.

Watching Jun Moxiao approach her step by step, a sense of guilt finally welled up in her heart; after all, Xiao had already done enough for her. How could she be so willful over a single bowl of soup?

Little did she know that while she was immersed in guilt, Jun Moxiao was taking advantage of her vulnerability. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her before she could even react. It was only then that Xia Zibing realized what was happening, her phoenix eyes widening. Her long, thick eyelashes fluttered, making her look incredibly innocent.

Jun Moxiao, of course, was not willing to let it end there. He skillfully pried open her red lips. Those equally beautiful and deep eyes continued to tempt the girl in his arms as they always did. And just as Xia Zibing was captivated, melting helplessly in his embrace, a medicinal fragrance seeped between her lips and teeth, lingering incessantly. Then, it slid smoothly down her throat, flowing slowly into her abdomen with a warm breath. In that moment, there was only lingering affection. The unpleasant smell of the medicine seemed to have drifted to the highest heavens.

Only then did Jun Moxiao reveal a satisfied expression as he pulled away from her lips. He released Xia Zibing, a captivating smile spreading across his charming face.

"Bing'er! Isn't drinking medicine like this very sweet?" His deep eyes rippled with an extremely wicked expression.

Xia Zibing's angry face instantly flushed crimson. Looking at Jun Moxiao, she couldn't say a single word. Having her inner thoughts exposed, she felt an immediate urge to find a hole to hide in.

To her surprise, Jun Moxiao pulled her into his arms once more. He walked to the table and sat her on his lap.

"Silence implies consent!" He smiled innocently.

"..." Xia Zibing was speechless. Her hands couldn't help but fidget against his chest, feeling utterly helpless.

"This Prince also thinks this method of drinking medicine is quite commendable! How about we do this every time from now on?" Jun Moxiao was as wicked as he had been just a moment ago.

He raised the bowl again, preparing to drink. At the thought of that method just now, Xia Zibing's face flushed pink once more.

"I can drink it myself!" She did not want to drink his saliva again. Xia Zibing would not be willful this time; she angrily brought the medicine to her lips. Holding her breath and concentrating, she suddenly poured the medicine into her mouth. Xia Zibing couldn't help but frown, struggling to swallow it down.

Xia Zibing feared nothing in heaven or earth, but this time, she truly surrendered in helplessness. As she swallowed the last of the medicine, her stomach churned violently, as if it were dissatisfied with such a bitter substance entering. Right at that moment, a strange fruit was suddenly stuffed into her mouth.

It started off somewhat tart, but the aftertaste was endless. A wave of sweetness seeped into her heart and soul. For a pregnant woman, tartness was indeed the most beloved flavor, yet the bitterness in her mouth had been impossible to escape. This fruit, however, solved all of Xia Zibing's problems at that moment. It was the first time she had ever tasted such a flavor.

"Xiao, this is..." Xia Zibing set aside her previous grievances and asked curiously.

"Bing'er, this was sent to you from Donglin by Imperial Father." Jun Moxiao looked at her with a serious expression. Knowing Xia Zibing would be interested in this, he said meaningfully, "He said this is a fruit unique to Donglin, one that only the Donglin Imperial Family can eat. It is very suitable for you to consume right now."
