Chapter 116 Confused and obsessed

"Well, tonight." Ye Hanting lowered his eyes and let Chu Li look at him like this. He was just that kind of person anyway.

As long as he could wash away the insults from his adoptive father and mother, he would give up anything.

Chu Li nodded, "Okay, sir, I promised to thank you sincerely and I will definitely not go back on my word."

Isn't that how it works between people? Take what you have and exchange it for what you want.

Ye Hanting's heart trembled. In the end, he and Chu Li were heading towards exchanging interests.

......

night.

Mu Feng was patrolling near the imperial study. The assassin who tried to sneak into the study last time failed and might have been poisoned to death.

But he was not sure whether the other party had accomplices, so he could not take it lightly.

Kong Wu came hurriedly, "General Mu, the prince has something urgent to discuss with you."

Mu Feng frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The prince didn't say anything, but he was very anxious."

Mu Feng immediately took some of the imperial guards back to the East Palace to find Chu Li.

Chi Yan immediately led away the imperial guards guarding the imperial study.

Ye Hanting entered the imperial study again.

Mu Feng rushed to Chu Li's bedroom.

Chu Li's cheeks flushed as she lay on the bed. When she saw Mu Feng coming, she called out aggrievedly, "Uncle."

Mu Feng hurriedly walked to Chu Li's side, and his hand subconsciously placed on Chu Li's forehead.

"Why is it so hot?"

Suddenly, he realized that he was too concerned about Chu Li. They were both men, and such actions were too intimate.

Mu Feng quickly withdrew his hand, stood up and was about to leave, "I'll ask someone to call the imperial physician."

Chu Li was afraid that he would leave and Ye Hanting would be in danger, so she quickly grabbed Mu Feng's wrist and said, "Uncle, I have seen the imperial physician. I asked you to come here because I want to talk to you."

Chu Li's warm hands tightly grasped his wrist. The warm and smooth skin on his wrist made his breath stop and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Chu Li let go of his hand, and he turned around to look at the pitiful Chu Li.

Chu Li's cheeks were red, and his eyes were misty, like a sick and spoiled kitten, which made people feel very soft-hearted. He avoided her gaze and promised, "Okay, I won't leave. I'll stay here with you."

He pulled a stool and sat next to Chu Li.

Chu Li looked at him and said, "Uncle, I miss my sister."

Mu Feng's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Uncle knows that Chuchu is a good girl. She is kind to everyone. It's a pity that she died so young. Uncle misses her too."

He knew that people are most vulnerable when they are sick. At this moment, Chu Li was not as carefree as usual, which made him want to protect him.

Mu Feng didn't dare to look into Chu Li's eyes. He thought to himself: How could he have such a desire to protect a man? Just two months ago, he didn't have this feeling towards the crybaby Chu Li.

Chu Li saw that Mu Feng was fooled by her, and felt that her lifelong acting skills were not in vain.

She thought about it and decided that she had to continue delaying Mu Feng for a while to buy some time for Ye Hanting, so she quietly pinched her palm under the quilt, and tears instantly rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Mu Feng was completely at a loss as to what to do.

He reached out his hand in a panic and patted Chu Li's shoulder, saying as if to coax a child: "Let's not talk about Chu Chu anymore. Chu Chu certainly doesn't want you to be sad because of her."

Chu Li wiped her tears and continued to hang on to Mu Feng against her conscience, "I still miss my mother. Why did my mother abandon me and let me endure the cold guns and hidden arrows in this court alone? Uncle, I only have you..."

Mu Feng's heart gradually warmed up. It turned out that he was so important in Chu Li's heart.

Chu Li sniffed, took a deep breath and continued, "And grandpa, uncle, aunt, Mu Jiangge, you are my family, the people I want to talk to the most when I am helpless."

Chu Li also played the family card, since the Mu family was one of her trump cards anyway.

Mu Feng was amused by his own self-conceit. He stood up and said, "Don't think too much. My uncle is here."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chu Li pulled his sleeve and said, "No, uncle, you can only leave after I fall asleep. I'm scared, I'm scared!"

As she spoke, she began to feel aggrieved and sobbed with her head covered.

Mu Feng looked at Chu Li like a child. He smiled helplessly and sat down. "Okay, I won't leave. I'll leave after you fall asleep."

Chu Li poked his head out from under the quilt, his eyes flickering as he looked at Mu Feng.

After she closed her eyes, she secretly opened one eye after a moment to observe whether Mu Feng was there.

After making sure that he didn't leave, Chu Li closed her eyes again.

Mu Feng had a stern face at first, but when he saw Chu Li's little movements, he thought he was a little cute. At this moment, she was curled up in the quilt like a coquettish kitten.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub Chu Li's hair, but stopped above Chu Li's head.

Mu Feng's Adam's apple rolled, and he stood up and left Chu Li's room.

Chu Li dozed off for a while, and when he was sure that Mu Feng had gone far away and his evil plan had succeeded, he kicked the quilt away with all his strength, kicked away several hot water bottles filled with hot water, and couldn't help but complain.

"It's so hot!"

"You bastard Ye Hanting, I have done my best and have repaid you. We owe each other nothing from now on."

She was almost dying of heat, so she unzipped her collar, picked up a folding fan and began to fan herself.

Suddenly, Ye Hanting's voice was heard beside the bed.

"Your Highness seems very unhappy to help me."

Chu Li quickly pulled up her collar and looked at Ye Hanting with a flushed face. He was standing by the bed with his arms folded, looking at her.

"When did you come in?" Chu Li was almost dying.

She just scolded Ye Hanting. Did Ye Hanting hear it?

However, her voice was very soft, so it shouldn't be the case.

Ye Hanting pointed to the window and said, "Your Highness forgot to close the window. I just happened to pass by and came in."

Chu Li: “…”

Chu Li was about to get up to close the window, but as soon as she got out of bed, she stepped on the hot water bottle on the ground. Just as she was about to hold the bed, Ye Hanting picked her up with one hand.

Her body was spun around by Ye Hanting's arms. Chu Li was afraid of falling, so she quickly grabbed Ye Hanting's collar.

The next moment, she fell on the soft bed, and Ye Hanting was pressed up by her hands holding her belt.

Chu Li was completely enveloped in his arms, Ye Hanting's black hair fell on her neck, and the memory of that night suddenly entered her mind.

Ye Hanting's lips were just inches away from hers. The moment when Ye Hanting hugged her just now reminded her of the man that night.

Why does it feel so similar?

Ye Hanting supported Chu Li's body with his hands. Chu Li's cheeks were flushed, and some of her hair was stuck to her neck and temples because of the heat, which made her look extremely charming.

He suddenly became confused and thought of how Chu Li looked under him that day. It should be like this.

The corners of his eyes were red, his mouth was dry, and he felt restless, making his whole body tense.
