The Eldest Daughter is Delicate and Pretty, How Can She Be a Malicious Supporting Character - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Where Did This Rogue Come From?

The man’s voice was soft, but in the quiet night, it stood out, startling her.

The girl quickly turned around and met his black eyes, which seemed to hold a hint of a smile. Perhaps due to being frightened, her footsteps became unsteady, and she stepped on the hem of her dress embroidered with golden threads. Her body was about to fall backward.

Pei Lingyi had prepared herself to fall into the cabbage patch, her eyes slightly closed. However, a large hand suddenly appeared around her waist, gently pulling her back into his chest.

“Ugh…” Due to the impact, she couldn’t help but make a muffled sound.

The girl’s straight nose slightly collided with the man’s chest, and her first thought was that his body felt so hard, causing her pain.

However, Xiao Huaice felt differently. His fingers unconsciously lingered on the girl’s back, and he couldn’t help but think that she felt incredibly soft, like holding a cloud in his arms.
He didn’t want to let go.

Pei Lingyi was held tightly in the man’s arms, their bodies pressed closely together. She could even feel the powerful heartbeat of the man beneath her.

Then, she heard a deep, low-pitched voice above her, “Miss, it seems you are quite eager to throw yourself into others’ arms?”

Her face turned red, and she pushed the man away with both hands. Fortunately, he didn’t use much force, and she was able to break free easily.

Her face was flushed, either due to the wine or shyness.
She looked beautiful but also alluring.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to touch your things… And thank you for helping me just now.”

She didn’t dare look directly at his face, especially since their interaction had been quite intimate, despite him saving her.

A Miss like her, how could she have been so intimate with an outsider?
On the contrary, Xiao Huaice was recklessly and even greedily looking at that beautiful face.

The young girl’s earlobes turned red, her fingertips tightly pinching the hem of her skirt, not daring to lift her head to look at him.
She’s truly pure and simple.

Xiao Huaice chuckled softly, her appearance was completely different from when she pretended to be strong after learning about the harm to her cat.
Or rather, she only shows such tender and gentle feelings to those she’s close to.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huaice’s tongue tip lightly touched his back teeth, and he swallowed unconsciously.

Now… his prey has quietly arrived in his territory, will he eat it or not?

Looking at the shy girl in front of him, if he hadn’t known that she had a face with spring-like eyes, he might have thought she was seducing him.
After all, she’s really seductive.

Pei Lingyi seemed to still be in shock from the previous fright, staring blankly at the other’s clothes.
She just discovered that it was already the coldest month of winter, and he was wearing thin clothes that seemed to have been washed many times, with faded colors.

Xiao Huaice keenly sensed the doubt in her eyes, and the smile in his eyes deepened. At this moment, she must be thinking, what kind of person would wear such coarse clothes in such weather?
After all, even the palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial palace wore padded jackets in the current weather.

A young miss like her, who was raised in gold and jade, how could she know the hardships of the people?

Thinking of this, he seemed to laugh at himself, and even felt a sense of disgust towards his own origins.
Pei Lingyi seemed to sense the other’s unpleasant mood, picked up the palace lantern placed aside, and was about to leave this place of conflict.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude here, and I’ve caused trouble just now. I’ll leave now.”

Her words carried a hint of unease, as if she knew this place was different from other places in the palace.
This place was special.

The young girl’s long hair reached her waist, and the tassel ornaments on her temples swayed slightly with her movements, looking indescribably beautiful. She was about to leave this strange place.

Xiao Huaice’s face was illuminated by the palace lantern under the eaves, half dim and half clear. On the clear side, a small red mole at the corner of his eye seemed to be teasing.

He quietly watched the girl’s movements, and just as Pei Lingyi was about to step out of the doorway with the palace lantern, the wooden door was suddenly pushed shut by a gust of cold wind from behind, making a loud “bang”.

She was startled, and the foot she had just stepped out with was pulled back, almost losing her grip on the lantern.

Then, the man’s magnetic voice lingered in her ear, “You came and now you want to leave? What do you think this place is?”
His warm breath fell on her tender white earlobe, and for a moment, Pei Lingyi felt like he was a wolf slowly sizing up his prey.

A moist heat spread across her earlobe, accompanied by a tingling sensation, making her pause slightly.
Xiao Huaice leaned over her from behind, his figure towering over her. He could completely enclose the petite figure in front of him. Looking at the white earlobe adorned with delicate earrings, he somehow wanted to put it in his mouth and savor it, wondering if it was as delicious as it looked.

Now… he was no longer her cat.

Twice, he had experienced fantastical journeys, not knowing when they would happen again. Once, he was unknowingly held in her arms on the bed, and another time, he was severely injured and being cared for by her.

He had long become her possession, drowning in her tender affection.
He grew up barbarically, unaware of what etiquette was.

He only knew that if he didn’t fight for it, he wouldn’t get it, and would end up losing everything in the palace.

After a moment of pause, Pei Lingyi couldn’t help but find it funny. Brothers were indeed alike, with the same nature, like two peas in a pod.
When Xiao Huaijin was intimate with her, she also discovered that he seemed to have a special fondness for her earlobes.

However, he didn’t dare to be as presumptuous as the person behind her, only gently kissing her. Unlike this person, who was like an animal, directly biting and holding it in his mouth.

“You… you’re presumptuous!”

Her brows lightly furrowed, her cheeks seemed to flush with annoyance, and her eyes were shallowly veiled with a layer of misty water. She turned around, and her arm, like a lotus root, was shallowly exposed, as she made a gesture to slap him on the face.
“Pa——”

A light sound, hitting the man’s cheek, but he didn’t show any restraint, and instead, a smile spread across his lips, “You’re really like a kitten, don’t even know how to slap someone.”

He gazed slightly at the girl’s knuckles, those hands that had once gently caressed the back of the snow-white cat, and even he couldn’t help but be captivated by them.
But now, merely touching his face made him shiver all over, and he wanted her to lovingly caress him.

Pei Lingyi retreated from the man’s embrace, and under the illumination of the crystal palace lantern, she finally saw his entire face clearly.
Her lips bit lightly, and she scolded, “You’re some kind of rogue!”
