Chapter 511 - Arresting ‘Private Advisor Long’
Deep within the yamen, as the night darkened.
Unknowing of the events that would take place, the first thing that Helian Wei Wei did after returning from the outside was to take a bath.
Her hair was still wet after she took a bath and because of her current identity, she could not possibly be as comfortable as she was in the palace since there was nobody to do her hair for her. Thus, she had no choice but to do it herself.
However, before she could even raise her hand, smooth silk fell on her head, followed by the touch of cool fingers.
“Coming out when you haven’t even dried your hair, do you wish to get sick?” Baili Jia Jue’s brows were knitted together, but his actions were still extremely patient.
From Helian Wei Wei’s current angle, she could only see a pair of long straight legs that would make all men envious, he did not even have love handles. His Highness truly had a good physique.
Long-legged Oppa.
She did not know why but when she thought of this phrase. Helian Wei Wei laughed playfully, narrowing her eyes in mirth while relishing the comfortable force on her like a pampered cat. Lazily, she said, “I don’t think I will get sick with this weather. Where did you go just now?”
Baili Jia Jue’s hands stilled, and in a casual tone, he replied, “I was handling some matters.”
Helian Wei Wei arched her brows but did not press any further. She more or less knew of Baili Jia Jue’s methods but he never wanted to let her know about anything too violent.
“Let’s play some chess later?”
Aside from sleeping, His Highness’ other hobby was playing chess. Between the two, a game of chess was clearly the safer option.
Helian Wei Wei had planned everything properly.
Baili Jia Jue removed the silk cloth and looked upon her from above as though he could lift her up entirely at any time. With a devilish tone, he asked, “Chess? You?”
“You have to give me a handicap of 10 moves,” Helian Wei Wei unabashedly requested.
Baili Jia Jue suddenly stooped down to bite her lip and with a deep voice that was oozing elegance, he asked, “What’s the wager?”
“Ten thousand silver ingots.” Helian Wei Wei found it hard to not blush.
Baili Jia Jie made a sound of approval and then straightened his posture, looking at her with something that resembled a smile, “Shy?”
“You suddenly kissed me,” Helian Wei Wei mumbled.
Baili Jia Jue lifted her up and as his well-defined features were softly illuminated by candlelight, a crackle of sexual tension flickered in the air like the flame from the candlelight. Even his voice was deeper than before, “You’re not good at chess, I’ll teach you.”
Before Helian Wei Wei had a chance to reject the offer, both of them were already sitting in front of a chessboard. His white sleeves were moving around like pieces of scroll paintings.
Baili Jia Jue was actually teaching her how to play chess but he did so while embracing her from behind, guiding her fingers to pick up the white and black pieces, making it hard for her to focus as warmth enveloped her fingertips.
“What are you thinking about now?” Baili Jia Jue gleefully asked by her ear, “If you lose this match, you’ll be at my mercy after we return to the palace, do you understand?”
Naturally, Helian Wei Wei knew what the word ‘mercy’ implied and she felt her whole body tingle. Quickly pushing him away, she smoothed her clothes and then sat down opposite him with her mouth curved into a small smirk. “I may not necessarily lose.” Following that, she placed a white chess piece on the board.
Once Baili Jia Jue saw that half the pieces on the board had already been surrounded, he paused and then started laughing devilishly. “You really are a good student, you’ve learned well.”
Surrounding the black pieces?
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes lit up as she leaned her chin in the palm of one hand and lazily beckoned him to her with the other.
Baili Jia Jue raised his brows but without any resistance, she had already moved to kiss him.
That technique… No matter how much they practiced, there was just no improvement at all.
However, she excelled in taking initiative.
Baili Jia Jue’s eyes darkened but he quickly regained control over the kiss, pulling her into his embrace, entangling his tongue with hers as a sweet smell permeated their senses.
Helian Wei Wei felt as though her whole body had turned into jelly and her tailbone was tingling in pleasure.
In the drunkenness of it all, he lifted her up again as his left hand slid into her clothes while his right hand held hers to pick up a black piece and place it on the chessboard.
It landed crisply.
Helian Wei Wei looked at the board with a face flushed red. Even though the black pieces were surrounded before, he had completely turned the tides with a single power move.
“Give up?” Baili Jia Jue’s husky voice traveled to her ears.
Helian Wei Wei’s whole body trembled.
Thereafter was a kiss that flooded all senses.
After a while, she sat in his embrace and gazed into his beautiful eyes that reminded her of the stars above, panting lightly.
Baili Jia Jue rested his lips against hers, enveloping her in the smell of sandalwood. “It was only a light peck, did you forget how to breathe?”
“Were you cheating?” Helian Wei Wei was depressed, she had sneakily placed five more pieces but she had no idea how he still won.
This was not a game of chess. It was clearly a game of tricking and lying.
Baili Jia Jue looked at her and patiently replied, “Just because you didn’t win, you’re accusing me of cheating? Clearly, you have more to improve on. ”
“I purposely let you win because I care about you,” Helian Wei Wei said as she secretly laughed. It looked like the time she spent training had not been wasted, she could now spurt out words of love and affection at will. As a bossy president, these were tactics that always had to be at hand!
Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows at her actions and with his long fingers, he hooked open her clothes to take out the ‘Court Your Wife’ manual. With something that resembled a smile, he said, “You’re well-practiced, looks like you’ve finished reading the entire book?”
“I roughly understand it,” Helian Wei Wei said modestly. She was an arms magnate, she did not need to learn from a book, she was born to dominate!
Baili Jia Jue laughed, his attractive lips applying more pressure on hers. “If that’s the case, why don’t you show me some moves, let me see what you’ve learned in that area…”
However, just as he said this, he suddenly trailed off. His eyes that were previously mischievous and laid back were now cold and indifferent. She did not know why the warmth in his eyes had faded but his eyes were now flashing in hints of platinum!
Helian Wei Wei raised an eyebrow, not because of anything else but because at this moment, Yuan Ming said, “Woman, there seems to be some movement outside.”
“Hmm.” Helian Wei Wei had heard it as well but it was muffled, meaning that there were not too many of them.
Baili Jia Jue on the other hand, stood up while his fingers straightened his long robes. In a single moment, his lanky figure now held a chess piece in his hand.
Bang!
Soldiers suddenly rushed in and pointed their swords at him, completely surrounding Baili Jia Jue in the midst of them!
Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes dangerously, her piercing gaze landing behind the group of soldiers. In a cold voice, she inquired, “Lord Zhang, what is the meaning of this?”
“We’ve been instructed to arrest him and it would be best not to resist us, Lord Wei. Or else, you’d waste the time that you can’t afford to waste.” The imperial official named Zhang said pretentiously and faced the people on his left to bark out another command, “What are you waiting for? Capture that devious private advisor!”
