The prince longs for me every night after mastering thought-reading
Chapter 549 - 458: Aren’t you afraid that your concubine can’t endure loneliness? If you don’t come back, I will get married!

Chapter 549: Chapter 458: Aren’t you afraid that your concubine can’t endure loneliness? If you don’t come back, I will get married!

Xiao Jinyan’s movements paused as he looked at Xiaojiu lying on top of him. His handsome eyes shone crystal-clear under the light of the Night Pearls.

His eyes filled with anticipation.

"The journey to Beimo is long, and life in the Military Camp is not like the Imperial Palace. I do not wish for you to endure such hardships."

Shen Chuwei said, "Your Concubine is well aware that the Imperial Palace offers lavish comforts and that life in the Military Camp is unbearably harsh. Yet, with Your Highness there, none of that is a problem."

Xiao Jinyan didn’t want to elaborate on the harshness of military camp life.

"Obey me, and wait quietly in the Imperial Palace for my return." His assuring tone carried an undeniable authority.

Shen Chuwei’s hand withdrew from Xiao Jinyan’s waist and moved to embrace his neck instead, playfully twirling a lock of his ink-black hair.

"Your Highness feels at ease leaving your Concubine alone in the palace? Aren’t you afraid that, unable to bear the loneliness, I might..."

Xiao Jinyan’s eyes darkened. "You dare?"

Shen Chuwei stopped fiddling with his hair and pouted, deciding to lie on Xiao Jinyan’s chest instead. Her ear was right against his chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat, one beat against the other.

Is his heartbeat a bit too fast?

She reached out to touch the area over Xiao Jinyan’s heart.

The next second, the world spun around, and Shen Chuwei found herself pinned beneath Xiao Jinyan. His ink-length hair cascaded down from his shoulders, brushing against her delicate cheek like silk.

A faint, familiar fragrance spread to the tip of her nose.

His light-yellow robe had come loose due to the movement, revealing vast expanses of his fair skin.

The solid and full chest muscles were the most eye-catching.

Xiao Jinyan gazed down at the person beneath him and called out softly, "Xiaojiu..."

A hand touched his solid and full chest muscles, silencing the rest of his words.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his gaze, knowing full well how soft that hand was.

Shen Chuwei couldn’t help feeling amazed within, no matter how many times she touched them, it always felt so good.

Her slender fingers untied his sash, and when it opened, she saw his solid abs, the muscle lines smooth and distinct.

She poked his abs with her finger—yes, very firm.

Xiao Jinyan’s throat tightened as he spoke with a hoarse voice, "Xiaojiu."

Shen Chuwei extended her arms to encircle Xiao Jinyan’s neck, taking the initiative to kiss him, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan switched from passive to active, and blindly reached for her sash, giving it a fierce pull.

At the critical moment, a soft, tender voice came from outside the door.

"Father, hug..."

One could tell from the voice that it was Susu’s.

Xiao Jinyan endured to his limit, only to have his daughter interrupt him at this time.

That night, Xiao Jinyan had sent away the servants on night duty, so there was no one else at the door at that moment.

Knocking sounds came from outside, and the tender voice was on the verge of crying, "Father, Father, hug your baby..."

Xiao Jinyan let his head fall helplessly, "I’ll go check on Susu."

With that, he got up, lifted the bed curtain, put on his robe, and left.

Shen Chuwei watched Xiao Jinyan’s retreating back, lamenting that she couldn’t have such a handsome husband. It was truly unbearable.

When Xiao Jinyan opened the door, he saw his daughter standing outside, holding a little cloak. In such cold weather, the tip of the little one’s nose had already turned red from the cold.

Xiao Bai stood inseparably by Susu’s side, using its fluffy fur to warm her.

Xiao Jinyan was both angry and heartbroken. He bent down to pick up his daughter and carry her into his arms before closing the door and taking her inside.

Xiao Bai stood guard at the door with no intention of leaving.

Xiao Jinyan carried his daughter to the bedside.

Seeing Shen Chuwei, Susu eagerly stretched out her arms for an embrace, "Momma, hug."

Seeing her daughter’s endearing appearance, how could Shen Chuwei refuse? She took the child into her arms and placed her in the middle of the bed.

Susu happily lay in the center,

"Susu, why aren’t you sleeping? Why did you come here?"

Susu blinked her similarly beautiful big eyes and spoke with a milky voice, "I want to sleep with Momma and Father."

Ever since Susu had learned to walk and talk, she would occasionally come over to snuggle in their bed.

Xiao Jinyan tucked himself into the bedding as he looked at his daughter sleeping in the middle. He earnestly lectured, "You are already more than a year old; you should be sleeping by yourself."

Susu argued confidently, "I’m still a baby."

Shen Chuwei: "..."

Xiao Jinyan: "..."

The Emperor and Empress called Susu their baby every day, spoiling her to the extreme. Susu was also very clever, knowing full well at her young age that she was a baby and deserved to be indulged.

Now, it was impossible to kick their daughter out. They could only coax her to sleep before doing anything else.

Xiao Jinyan spoke softly, "Sleep now."

Susu had never been a fussy child. As long as she was full, she would sleep quietly.
