When he tried to unb.u.t.ton her pants, she had no choice but to let him do so since she could not make a sound.
An Xiaoning grabbed his hand to stop him when he was about to reach for her underwear.
“Are you asking for death!?!”
Zhi Yin hurriedly rushed downstairs with the tea, thinking that Tuoba Gucheng had discovered her presence.
An Xiaoning heaved a sigh of relief and kicked him away, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud. He did not make a sound afterward.
She hurriedly reached for her mobile phone and shone the torchlight at him, only to find that he had pa.s.sed out.
How fragile.
Without hesitation, An Xiaoning picked him up and placed him back onto the bed again, causing her to perspire uncontrollably.
Once she caught her breath, she picked up her clothes and hurriedly put them on.
“It’s warm, so warm…” he murmured with his eyes closed, appearing to be extremely uncomfortable. An Xiaoning shone the flashlight of her mobile phone at him, unsure if he had already come to.
She quickly turned off the flashlight.
She then pushed the duvet toward him slowly in a bid to climb toward the end of the bed.
However, she froze in shock at the sight before her.
Tuoba Gucheng was hugging the duvet tightly and moaning with his eyes closed.
He tossed and turned in bed, stark naked.
An Xiaoning was afraid of touching him accidentally due to how small the bed was.
Thus, she curled into a ball and stared at the scene before her.
There was definitely something wrong with him. A drunk person would at most fall asleep or throw a drunken fit, unlike his current unusual behavior.
He was exhibiting the cla.s.sic symptoms of being drugged with aphrodisiacs.
Question is, who drugged him?
There was no way Tuoba Danxue would have spiked her brother’s drink. Could it be… Zhi Yin, then?
An Xiaoning was making a wild guess since she could not think of another possible suspect.
Noticing that his condition was getting worse, An Xiaoning decided to show him some erotic clips she had saved in a secret folder on her mobile phone. She fast-forwarded it to the climax of the clip, switched her mobile phone to screensaver mode, and placed it beside his ear.
Although the volume was not too loud, it did arouse him enough to compel him to begin masturbating.
Soon, he was moaning and grunting in immense pleasure.
To the astonishment of An Xiaoning, one o.r.g.a.s.m was not enough to satisfy him.
She witnessed with her own eyes how he continued to climax for another four times before calling it a day.
Noticing that he was lying motionless on the bed, An Xiaoning stopped the video clip and shone her bright screen at him, only to find that his eyes were closed and he seemed to have pa.s.sed out.
She then climbed down from the bed with her mobile phone in hand. Reminded of the white substance all over him, she decided to pull the duvet over his body to cover his crotch.
She then switched on the lights and wiped his s.e.m.e.n off his abdomen with some tissue paper before disposing of the soiled tissues.
Afterward, she returned to her own room.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, An Xiaoning lay in bed, still shaken and unable to recover from the incident that just took place.
Men are indeed terrifying when they lose control of their hormones and sanity.
But he probably would not remember anything when he wakes up the next day.
An Xiaoning barely slept that night and woke up at past five o’clock in the morning. She went about her usual routine of putting on her face mask and getting dressed for work.
At half past six, she left her room and stood by the door to wait for Tuoba Danxue to wake up.
“Mu Ning, did His Highness behave strangely last night?” asked Zhi Yin.
“Behave strangely? What’s considered a strange behavior?”
“Like running to your room to knock on your door and sounding extremely eager?”
“No, I was dead asleep like a log. I didn’t hear anything unusual,” An Xiaoning answered composedly.
Zhi Yin nodded and said, “His Highness was very drunk last night. I brought him some hangover tea, but he refused to have any.”
“Why not?”
“He fell asleep.” Zhi Yin then knocked on Tuoba Danxue’s door and called out, “Your Highness, time to rise and s.h.i.+ne!”
Tuoba Danxue expressed her a.s.sent.
A long while later, Tuoba Danxue still did not get out of bed, yet the door to Tuoba Gucheng’s room opened.
With a sullen expression on his face, he glared at them and walked away.
Noticing that he had gone downstairs, Zhi Yin frantically scurried toward his room while An Xiaoning followed closely behind.
A peculiar whiff of air wafted up to her nose the moment she stepped foot inside. Zhi Yin quickly walked toward the bed and lifted his duvet to take a look. “Tsk, tsk, what’s this on his duvet?”
“Could it be his mucus?” said An Xiaoning, feigning ignorance.
“You’ve already had a boyfriend. How could you not know what this is? But I’m not surprised, actually. I doubt your boyfriend would be in the mood to get intimate with that face of yours.”
“…”
An Xiaoning rolled her eyes and exited the door.
After breakfast, Xiao Chi showed up all of a sudden. “Xiao Chi, did something happen?” Tuoba Danxue asked.
“His Highness told me to bring Mu Ning over. He wants his bodyguards to share some of their tips and experience with Mu Ning so as to allow her to protect you better, Your Highness.”
“Oh, I see, go ahead then, Mu Ning.”
An Xiaoning bowed and conceded, “Yes, Your Highness.”
After exiting the door, An Xiaoning asked softly, “Does he really want me to learn from his bodyguards?”
“No, His Highness wants to see you for something. I’m not too sure what it’s about,” Xiao Chi answered.
“Alright.”
An Xiaoning had a hunch that it was related to last night’s event.
After all, how could he have not recalled a single thing at all?
An Xiaoning was filled with anxiety and uneasiness at the thought of having to have her lips sealed.
Once they arrived at the backyard of Tuoba Gucheng’s mansion, Xiao Chi told her that Tuoba Gucheng was waiting for her upstairs.
She was told to go up alone.
An Xiaoning made her way up the stairs to the second floor.
She gently pushed open the door of Gucheng’s room.
She poked her head through the crack to see that he was standing by the window with his back facing her, remaining still like a statue.
An Xiaoning entered and closed the door before greeting him softly, “Your Highness.”
Tuoba Gucheng turned around and said, “Come here.”
An Xiaoning stepped forward and was a little afraid to make eye contact with him. He’ll definitely hold it against me for kicking him off the bed last night, won’t he? she thought to herself.
The thought of what she did last night invoked a tinge of guilt within her, though it was not exactly her fault.
“Have you taken the pill?” Tuoba Gucheng asked.
“What pill?” An Xiaoning asked in puzzlement since she was not ill and there was thus no need for her to take any medicine.
“Stop feigning ignorance. The contraceptive pill.”
An Xiaoning felt as if she’d just been struck by thunder and lightning. Dumbfounded, she looked up at him in bewilderment and said, “Your Highness…”
“I apologize for causing something inappropriate to happen between us last night. But, I want you to keep this to yourself forever. Otherwise, I can’t save you if my mother finds out.”
An Xiaoning was shocked beyond her senses. Something inappropriate happened between them?
Did the aphrodisiac mess with his wit? He actually thought…
He was the one who m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.ed, what has it got to do with me at all?
“Your Highness, nothing intimate happened between us last night. You must’ve remembered wrongly,” she answered, staring at the ground.
“I know you don’t wish to admit it. It’s best if you don’t, actually. Remember, take the pill when you go back.”
“Your Highness, we really didn’t…”
“There’s no one else here except us. You don’t have to deny it. I know clearly whether we did it or not.”
No, you’re not clear at all!
It had never occurred to An Xiaoning before that she would ever encounter such a bizarre incident.
Not wis.h.i.+ng to explain herself further, she said, “Um, Your Highness, you were behaving strangely last night. I reckon someone must’ve spiked your drink…”
