Chapter 288: Calm Before the Storm (1)

Ever since his intentions were revealed, he had been yearning for her more and more. This desire came from an accumulation of the past, and once he finds a way to vent it, even he wouldn’t be able to know whether he could suppress it. The only place he could seek comfort was with her.

Moreover, he constantly felt anxious so he rushed back the day before the banquet, and all so he could take possession of her!

He felt way too uneasy. He felt that the only way for her to settle down was if he obtained her, and finally, he could also quench his thirst.

Seeing that Gong Jue had begun to undress without a single word, Gong Yimo’s heart jumped. Wait, seriously? Is Gong Jue doing this for real?

He…He’s only thirteen!!

She didn’t know that people even got married at thirteen. What’s more, this was only the first taste.

“What…What are you doing!”

Gong Yimo began to stutter as soon as she felt nervous. She had also just found out that she had this problem.

Gong Jue was also very straightforward about it. With a smile, he lit up the room with its brilliance, but though stunning, a sense of bashfulness could still be felt within that smile. This turned Gong Yimo silent in an instant.

“I want Imperial Sister to become my woman.”

Well damn…

Gong Yimo was stunned. He’s really going for it? No…This must be a fluke.

“N…No! You can’t force me! I’ll get angry, and I won’t forgive you!”

Gong Yimo tried to threaten him with a strong front. A trace of sadness could be seen on Gong Jue’s face for an instant, but then his fingers moved and he took off his top, revealing a well-defined chest.

“I know.”

He bit down on his lower lip and leaned forward, supporting his two hands directly above her.

He looked at her pale little face, and revealed a faint look of pity…

“I know you’ll hate me for this, but I don’t have any other way. Unless…you become my woman…”

As he said that, he gradually leaned closer. Gong Yimo could feel his hot breath on her face, and it made her shudder.

It seemed like Gong Jue had just taken a bath. A faint but pleasant smell was emanating from his body, and it smelled really refreshing…but that wasn’t the main point! She couldn’t do this. How could she do something like this with someone she saw as her own little brother?!

Gong Yimo turned her wrist and a dagger appeared. She gritted her teeth and struck forward, but she was stopped by Gong Jue’s hand.

His expression was hard to read, but the look in his eyes gradually changed, becoming more and more dangerous.

“Momo, you should understand. Do not try to anger me.”

Then, he clenched his hand lightly, and the dagger fell to their feet, making a clink as it landed.

Gong Yimo glared at him with her big eyes. “You said you like me, then how could you do this to me before marriage? You clearly don’t respect me, so I might as well just die in front of you!”

Watching her play, Gong Jue laughed and easily exposed her ploy.

“My Imperial Sister would not care about the formalities, nor would she seek death.” He blinked his eyes, revealing a look of tenderness. “But you’re right, I should watch my behavior. But right now, I don’t have the courage to let you go. But I will give you a grand wedding in the future.”

When faced with someone who would never take no for an answer, and also someone who knew her very well, Gong Yimo really didn’t know what to do. She could only cry!

But she couldn’t muster any tears. She secretly pinched herself with her fingers. She sucked in a breath of cold air and really managed to squeeze out a few drops of tears. She glared at him with her watery eyes in a look of complaint.

“Gong Jue…Don’t be like this…It scares me…”

When he saw her cry, Gong Jue really felt helpless. He wiped the tears off her cheeks gently and sighed.

“It won’t hurt. I heard from others that it’ll feel really good…”

Like hell it would!

Gong Yimo really began to feel sad. What on earth is going on? The brother she had taken care of with all her heart suddenly confessed to her, and the child she raised also wanted to eat her. These changes really made her feel very uneasy!

Because in her heart, she didn’t believe in love, definitely not! So, when familial love suddenly turned romantic, she turned scared. Scared that one day she would be abandoned, and repeating the mistakes of her previous life.

“Gong Jue…Please…If you love me, then at the very least…You’ll have to let me fall in love with you too.”
