Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 669

Chapter 669: Chapter 666: Helping Out_1

Kid and Xiao Rongyan gazed into each other’s eyes. Kid almost fell into the deep, jet-black depths of Xiao Rongyan’s pure gaze. However, beneath his deeply set eyelids, his eyes remained calm, as if the only one whose heart was disturbed was her.

Kid lowered her gaze, her bloodless lips curling slightly. "The Hidden Guards have been diverted again by Yue Shi?"

"Yes, Yue Shi has diverted them..." Xiao Rongyan’s gaze fell on Kid’s delicate, fair face. "It is unknown how long Yue Shi can keep the Bai family’s Hidden Guards away. If they can’t hold them off for long, we might need the help of your little maid."

As he spoke, Xiao Rongyan took a small porcelain bottle from his chest and placed it in Kid’s hand. "The box of secret medicine that Xiao Ali sent to you today is a treasure of the Imperial Family of Yan. Let Doctor Hong examine it. If it’s suitable for your condition... it will greatly benefit your injuries. This... is the latest batch of mermaid oil. After your new wounds heal, it won’t leave scars. I will send it to you every two weeks from now on."

Kid gently grasped the small porcelain bottle in her hand and looked up at Xiao Rongyan. "This item is so precious. It must have been troublesome to bring it from Yan to the Jin Kingdom. You must be exhausted."

"No trouble at all. As long as you use it, it’s not trouble." Xiao Rongyan looked deeply into her eyes. "Why is Kid always so polite with me?"

The firelight faintly shining through the curtains illuminated Xiao Rongyan’s well-defined profile, making his features appear even more profound.

Kid pressed her lips together without speaking, a smile hidden in her eyes, but her heartbeat grew faster. The injury on her chest ached from the impact.

Xiao Rongyan gently grasped her slender shoulders, slowly bowed his head close to her, and couldn’t resist caressing her elegant, long neck. He cupped her cheek, his eyelashes lowered as he gazed at her lips.

Kid felt somewhat nervous, clutching Xiao Rongyan’s firm wrist, her eyelashes quivering slightly.

Xiao Rongyan’s intense aura enveloped her, forcefully invading her lungs, disturbing her thoughts.

His fingers brushed her lips. His hot, heavy breaths swept over her nose. Her heartbeat seemed ready to leap out of her chest.

Time seemed to freeze between them. Xiao Rongyan appeared to be intentionally tormenting her, watching her cheeks and ears flush, waiting for her to make a move. However, he did not kiss her.

The slender fingers that held Xiao Rongyan’s wrist climbed onto Xiao Rongyan’s broad shoulders, lightly touched his lips. Her usually clear voice now carried a trace of feminine softness, very low, "These days, I’ve been thinking of you too..."

A smile flickered in Xiao Rongyan’s eyes. He lowered his head to peck Kid’s lips, then lifted his head to gaze at her again. He stroked her flawless face, lifted her chin with his calloused fingers, and pressed his thin lips to hers again. This time, he did not restrain himself to just a brief taste, but controlled himself from indulging too much to avoid hurting Kid.

Kid’s hand clenched tighter, grabbing the front of Xiao Rongyan’s clothes messily. Her breathing was erratic. She felt her spine tremble, passively enduring Xiao Rongyan’s kiss, her entire body burning, unable to resist, eventually going limp.

Afraid of crushing Kid, Xiao Rongyan propped himself up with one hand on the hidden compartment next to them. He grasped the hidden compartment tightly to control himself from losing restraint.

Hearing Chun Tao’s light footsteps approaching the main room, Xiao Rongyan reluctantly let go of Kid’s lips. Breathing heavily, he reluctantly kissed Kid’s swollen lips again, grasping the hand she had been tightly holding at his collar, and placed a kiss on her fingers.

"Your little maid is back." Xiao Rongyan, with a teasing sparkle in his eyes, said in a low voice, "Kid, have you figured out how to fool your little maid this time?"
