Huo Yunshen had already predicted that Jing Xi would try to run. He grabbed her by her collar and pulled her back into the house.
Yin Feng helped them with their luggage and left after that. Only Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi remained in the house.
Jing Xi scanned her surroundings and was stunned by how similar the room was to Yunjing Manor.
âYou can look around if you want to,â Huo Yunshen said.
âThis looks a lot like the Yunjing Manor in Estan!â Jing Xi exclaimed.
Everything was utterly identical down to the smallest details.
âYes. This place and Yunjing Manor were where Jing Xi and I used to live. These are our homes,â Huo Yunshen said as he looked at Jing Xi in her eyes.
âThen... I shouldnât be here! Forgive me! Iâll go look for a hotel nearby!â
Jing Xi was about to leave when Huo Yunshen pulled her back into his arms.
Huo Yunshen hugged her tightly and said, âWhere do you think youâre going? This is your house. Our house.â
â...â
Jing Xi lay in the manâs arm and was rendered speechless.
It seemed to her that the king was mistaking her for his late wife again.
Huo Yunshen closed his eyes as he hugged his wife in their first home. He felt whole again.
Jing Xi, weâre finally back.
Huo Yunshen could feel the woman in his arms struggling, and he let her go. Jing Xi jumped away from him to a safe distance.
âI have three rules if I am to stay here,â Jing Xi said.
âAnd what are the three rules?â
âFirst, youâre the king, and Iâm just a servant. Thatâs the extent of our relationship,â Jing Xi stressed.
âAnd the second one?â Huo Yunshen asked as he smiled at her, wondering what she was planning this time.
âThe second one, Iâm just here to take care of you. There will be no physical contact between us...â
As Jing Xi was speaking, Huo Yunshen took off his jacket. He then took off his necktie and undid a few buttons on his shirt.
Jing Xiâs heartrate began to elevate as she looked at his action.
â... and there can be no sex.â
âOkay,â Huo Yunshen nodded and handed her the jacket heâd just taken off. âHang this up for me.â
â...â
Jing Xi was surprised, as she thought the king was about to force his way with her again.
âAnd the third rule?â Huo Yunshen asked as he walked to the living room.
âThe third one...â Jing Xi forgot what the third rule was.
âYou can tell me when you remember,â Huo Yunshen laughed. âHelp me fill the bathtub. I need a bath right now.â
â... Okay.â Jing Xi nodded and walked into the house but came back out to the living room a few minutes later. âWhere is the bathroom?â
Huo Yunshen got up, and as he walked past Jing Xi, he whispered, âYou little idiot.â
How could you forget where our bathroom is?
He showed her where the bathroom was. Jing Xi was surprised when she learned that the door was designed to be like a wardrobe.
She couldnât help but stare in awe at the beautiful design.
