Xu Ziling walked up to Zuiying, staring at him with all seriousness and deep contemplation on her face.

Zuiying slightly furrowed his sharp brows. “Why are you looking at a man so intensely? Have you no shame?”

All of a sudden, Xu Ziling’s face turned pale. “I-I... I just wanted to see what’s in your eyes.”

Zuiying burst out in laughter. “What can there possibly be in my eyes? Did you become stupid on your trip to the palace?”

Xu Ziling gritted her teeth, then angrily punched Zuiying hard on the chest.

“Ah! W-when... when are you going to leave? Looking at you gives me a headache!” Zuiying tightly furrowed his brows together in pain, then scowled at Xu Ziling with deep hatred.

“I won’t allow you to look at me like that!” Xu Ziling cried angrily, as she felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

“What are you going to do about it?” Zuiying said through gritted teeth, clearly annoyed with Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling looked at Zuiying and involuntarily tensed up her body. Seconds later, Xu Ziling abruptly tip-toed, hugged Zuiying’s neck and kissed his full lips.

Zuiying instantly tensed up and felt a soft, slippery tongue in his mouth. In a split second, he came to his senses, then immediately turned his head and shouted back. “You... you shameless woman! Stay away from me! Quit trying to sully me!”

As the general’s first child and eldest daughter, Xu Ziling has always gotten her way, so she would use any method to get what she wanted. Seeing how Zuiying unexpectedly reject her kiss, it suddenly ignited Xu Ziling’s desire to possess him. “Xiao Yun,” she ordered in a chilling voice.

“Young Lady, you were looking for me?” asked Xiao Yun, as she entered with a bright smile.

Xu Ziling drew closer to Xiao Yun’s ear and whispered something.

Xiao Yun’s eyes immediately shot wide open in utter shock. “Y-young... Young Lady, w-why... why do you want... to buy that?”

Xu Ziling shot an emotionless glance at Zuiying, then spoke with a chilling scoff. “I have my own reasons. Just hurry, go buy it for me!”

“Alright, Young Lady. I’ll go buy it now.” Xiao Yun pursed her lips, turned heel, and left.

Xu Ziling glanced at Zuiying with complete infuriation in her heart. How could she lose control and kiss that shadow guard just now? That was freaking crazy! What’s more, that shadow guard actually didn’t even want her!

Xu Ziling thought about it for a moment, then sat at the table beside her. She poured a cup of tea for herself, then downed it to calm down.

She must have not slept well last night, so her mind was all over the place, causing her to do something so embarrassing.

Zuiying averted his gaze from Xu Ziling and secretly complained about how shameless she was. To his surprise, she actually dared to make the first move to kiss a man like him?!

Xu Ziling pinched her chin with both hands and thought about Han Moze, but the silhouette of Zuiying actually came to mind. Her elegant brows couldn’t help but furrow.

No! She loved His Majesty, not this shadow guard who she had only known for half a month.

Xu Ziling grabbed her own hair to stop herself from thinking about Zuiying again. However, the more she forced herself not to think about him, the more she thought about him!

Xu Ziling couldn’t help but burn with rage. She grabbed a stone from the table and threw it viciously at Zuiying. It’s all that shadow guard’s fault!

“Ah! Can’t you be a little more gentle? If you hit me like this again, you’ll take my life!” Zuiying looked as if he wanted to cry. He truly regretted provoking the tigress, but he was just following the emperor’s orders and sent this woman away.

Zuiying thought about it for a moment, then spoke with a serious look on his face. “I apologize. I shouldn’t have ate the congee that you prepared for his majesty. I shouldn’t have threatened you. I shouldn’t have thrown stones at you. I shouldn’t have pushed you over so hard. I shouldn’t have... anyway, everything’s my fault. I beg that you please let me go, won’t you?”
