Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 533: Drought throughout

"Ugh fine," he grumbled while pulling his robe and tying it. He suddenly glanced back while he was complaining only to meet Luo Muchen’s gaze. Maybe it was an illusion but he seemed to see a sigh of momentary relief on Luo Muchen’s face.

Qie Xieling couldn’t believe it. It must have been an illusion. How could his boyfriend slash husband not want to sleep with him when he was this good looking?

"Your majesty, this is a critical time. If you over indulge it might affect the child in your belly," said another elder and he rubbed his temple in frustration. It seemed this kid was the only one who was enjoying themselves at his expense.

He was about to dismiss them all when he saw Jolie standing outside the door laughing her ass off.

She suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Physician Jong, didn’t you say it wasn’t safe for His Majesty’s ger body to have relations during his pregnancy."

"Ah, ye-yes your Majesty. It will hurt your dragon body," he said and Qie Xieling mumbled,

"So is fighting... Now leave us."

After he said that these elders didn’t move an inch. It was as though they were waiting for some sort of confirmation.

Qie Xieling sighed before saying, "I promise now go." Satisfied they all ran out of the room making sure to close the door behind them.

Soon the candles in their room except one were blown out. Luo Muchen pulled Qie Xieling closer and made him lie on his chest.

He placed his arm around Qie Xieling’s body.

Qie Xieling lay pressed against Luo Muchen’s chest and he felt the warmth of his body, listening to the steady rhythm of his heart. He could feel the gentle rise and fall of his chest, the soft breaths that caressed his hair, the vibrations echoing in his own heart. He smiled, feeling blissful and content.

He didn’t even notice the pain in his arm from where he got injured earlier. He had been so scared, thinking he might lose Luo Muchen today. But they had made it out alive, and now they were safe in each other’s arms. He wanted to stay like this forever, wrapped in Luo Muchen’s arms.

He lifted his head and kissed Luo Muchen’s chin, making him stir and open his eyes. Luo Muchen felt itchy where he had been kissed. He glanced down with a smile dripping with honey and kissed him back, holding him tighter.

Qie Xieling bit his lower lip and his hand that had been silently resting on Luo Muchen’s chest suddenly moved downwards his intentions obvious.

Just when he was about to touch Luo Muchen’s crotch his unruly hand was suddenly grasped.

Qie Xieling, "..."

Damn, was he ever going to get laid or was it going to be a drought throughout? "No one will know. Will just mess around a little," he whispered while freeing himself from Luo Muchen’s grasp. His hand slid underneath Luo Muchen’s robe and gently pinched his nipple to rouse the sleeping beast but Luo Muchen wouldn’t let him. He already felt bad that Qie Xieling had been brought into this mess by him and he still had to fight tomorrow while carrying their child. He knew there was nothing he could say to him right now that would change his mind and he was still afraid that things might go wrong tomorrow. He could only make sure that Qie Xieling would be in his best condition tomorrow. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

He embraced him even tighter and said, "You need to rest," his voice almost sounding like he was pleading. Qie Xieling could understand why he felt that way. He was just as nervous but the way they coped was different. He liked a distraction in this case having sex. Qie Xieling didn’t force it. He just hugged him and in a disappointed tone said, "Goodnight."

Luo Muchen could tell he was upset but he really couldn’t risk them both. He lay there looking at the ceiling beams while Qie Xieling’s breathing slowed as he quickly fell to sleep. That is to say that Qie Xieling slept like a dead pig while Luo Muchen was wide awake like he was on night watch.

He was right to be on night watch because someone tried to sneak into their temporary residence during the night. They didn’t get far though. They were thoroughly suppressed before they could even get far.

Before they could come and wake up Qie Xieling to inform him, Luo Muchen got up from bed which is after he struggled to get Qie Xieling to let him go.

In a daze, Qie Xieling clutched his robe tightly while mumbling, "Where are you going?"

Luo Muchen tried to get up but the more they tugged back and forth the more his robe got pulled at the seams. He was pretty sure it would tear if they continued.

He had to lie back down and coax him. He gently stroked his hair before kissing his forehead.

"I will be right back, go back to sleep," he whispered. That seemed to work because Qie Xieling loosened his grip and let him go. He yawned as he turned his back towards him, "Don’t take long."

Luo Muchen pulled the quilt and covered Qie Xieling before he grabbed his sword. He already knew who they had come here for he just didn’t think they would be this shameless.

He put on his outer robe and walked out of the bedroom, heading towards the courtyard. As he approached the gate, he saw several of the elders and guards surrounding a man dressed in black, who was lying on the ground with blood dripping from his wounds. The man had a mask covering his face. The elders made way for him. "Young Master Luo, you don’t have to involve yourself with this. We will lock him up and His Majesty can deal with him tomorrow," said Elder Xuan but Luo Muchen wanted to personally deal with this.
