Boundaries

Liao Ling woke up and felt around the spot where Meng Yu was with her hands.

"Hm?"

She got up and saw that no one was there.

"He should have woken me up too."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Lady, we have been ordered by Master to wait here with water for you to wash with."

"Come in." She smiled. 'It's nice having a husband. If I knew earlier, I would have pushed the wedding date forward, tch.'

Thinking that she clicked her tongue.

3 maids came into the room and help her wash up and wear new clothes.

"...um.." Mei'er looked at her hesitantly.

"What's the matter?"

"Did-did Master and Lady…" She looked at the bed.

'Ahh~' "ow ow ow, my waist." They blushed a little.

Liao Ling wanted to tease them and was going to explain that nothing happened, but when she saw Mei'er had an angry face she stopped.

'Hoh~someone wants to break apart a loving family? He's my husband, not yours.'

Liao Ling mentally noted that she had to watch out for this or else her husband's innocence would be destroyed.

Once she got all ready she walked out. After touring for a while she somewhat understood the place.

As soon as she was about to go towards the pavilion she heard music.

"Is that Meng Yu?" She asked Mei'er. 'As they say, 'keep your allies close and enemies closer'.'

She begrudgingly said, "Yes."

Meng Yu was playing the Guqin.

Nothing in my heart

"The veil of cloth~

The poison seeps through~

No resentment~

No fear~

No hate~

No despair~

No Love~

All that's left~

In my heart~

Is nothing~"

As Liao Ling was tip toeing towards him, she heard the lyrics. She suddenly felt a little sad.

Liao Ling went behind Meng Yu and hugged him with her arms around his shoulders.

"Ling'er, you're awake."

Meng Yu had already noticed that the maids were watching, especially Mei'er, so he chose not to resist the hug.

Besides, it was only a hug.

"What are you singing?"

"Just a song I made when I was little. I realized after losing my sight, that such things like the throne, wealth, and fame were pointless. The only thing that comforted me was this guqin."

He held it and caressed it.

"You also have me!"

"...Un." he could only nod and give a broad answer.

She then went for a peck on the cheek. "Muah!"

Mei'er breathed in trying to control herself.

Meng Yu wasn't stunned and just let it be.

'So these are all okay, hmm…Lets test how far I can go then!' Liao Ling felt the blood in her rush.

Just as she's about to kiss him on the lips he held out his hand. "uhm…Ling'er, not in front of them."

"Who cares, they're just maids. You guys know what to do right!?"

The maids left, but Mei'er was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong Mei'er? Can't you see my Husband, can't kiss me if your here?"

"Yes…" She clenched her fists so hard, it felt like a nail might break.

Then she walked away with the rest of the maids.

After confirming that everyone had left, she went in for the kiss.

Thankfully Meng Yu always has his guard up from being in the royal family and stoped her advances from the palm of his hand to her lips.

"Ling'er you were actually serious about this!"

"Just playing, Just playing." She smiled but in her heart, 'Damn, just a little closer! But now I know his boundaries. So long as I gradually increase it day be day, hehehe…'

"...Why are you drooling?"

"Huh? You can see?!"

"No I….Guessed….You were actually drooling?"

"Shut up! Don't tell anyone this or I'll tell the servants of our 'magical night'."

"...."
