AST 2379 - Nalan Qing's Kiss, Pouting

Qing Shui naturally understood the Water Emperor's feelings . After all, they were both men and Qing Shui was also a father . He couldn't clearly say if such things were right or wrong but back then, Nalan Qing's insistence was a decision made with the standpoint of a child . She had done this willingly .

"The fact that Sister Qing did that shows you're a good father whom she deserves," Qing Shui smiled and said .

"As a father, I should be holding up the world for her . I'm the emperor of a nation, but I ended up falling to that state . " The Water Emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head .

"It's hard to anticipate things in life . Sister Qing is lucky . There are many people in this world and no one wishes to withstand pain . However, when pain comes, we must face it . I believe that senior doesn't have to mind it too much . We must learn to look forward . What do you think?" Qing Shui had experienced many things in life and had seen through many things clearly . It was inadvisable to act arrogantly when young, but one mustn't lose one’s guts .

"That's right, that's right . We must look forward . Qing`er and I are indebted to you . No matter what you need, as long as I can do it, I'll promise and support you unconditionally," The Water Emperor laughed and said, feeling especially happy .

Nalan Qing stood at the side and noticed that whenever her father spoke, he would occasionally look toward her and then to Qing Shui . Anyone who wasn't an idiot would know what this gaze meant .

Qing Shui naturally could understand this gesture as well . He couldn't continue to act ignorant anymore . If he didn't like Nalan Qing then it was fine . He could continue to act ignorant and the Water Emperor would probably not say anything . After he left, things would just pass by as long as this thing wasn't mentioned .

However, the reality was that Qing Shui liked Nalan Qing . He could sense that this lady liked him back as well . Amongst the many people in the world, there weren't many who liked each other . Even if there were some who could find their other half who liked them back, there were also many cases where they couldn't even become friends due to various reasons .

Since the opportunity was here, he didn't wish to miss it . Therefore, he rubbed his nose and said, "Senior, I like Sister Qing, but I still can't be sure if Sister Qing likes me back . Would you stop me from pursuing Sister Qing?"

Qing Shui gave the Water Emperor a huge leeway .

After hearing Qing Shui's words, the Water Emperor laughed out loud . The latter felt very happy and said outright, "I won't stop you . I definitely won't stop you . If you wish to find out anything about Qing`er, you can come and look for me as well . I'll tell you everything I know . "

"Father!" Nalan Qing blushed and said coyly .

"Alright, alright . Qing Shui, I hope that you can treat this lass well . She has become a lot happier than before after meeting you . I wish to express my heartfelt thanks . It's been very long since she has smiled," The Water Emperor said sincerely .

"Senior, don't worry . I'll treat Sister Qing as my dearest person and I'll make her happy . " Qing Shui nodded .

The Water Emperor patted Nalan Qing's head and said that he had some things to take care of . The banquet was almost over and frankly, the Water Emperor just wanted to give the two youngsters some time to themselves . Everyone was aware of that .

The Water Emperor left, but Nalan Qing felt very shy and didn't dare to look at Qing Shui . A cool but mature woman like her was very charming when embarrassed . After making things clear, Qing Shui felt a lot more daring . After all, he previously didn't know if he should take this step forward .

Hearing Qing Shui's footsteps getting increasingly closer, Nalan Qing felt that her heart was beating very fast . She then suddenly raised her head, "You aren't allowed to come over . . . "

Qing Shui sensed Nalan Qing's quick heartbeat and stopped . He looked at her shy but panicky expression and said, "Sister Qing, are you overthinking things?"

"You're the one who is overthinking things," Nalan Qing chided .

She became a lot calmer but she still continued to look at Qing Shui with a strange gaze, "Do you really like me?"

"Of course . There's no man who wouldn't like a beauty like you," Qing Shui smiled and said .

"You’re only aiming for my body," Nalan Qing said, feeling a little disappointed .

"Do you think I'm the same as other men? That I'm superficial? That I'm insincere . . . ?" Qing Shui walked over slowly and took her hand .

Nalan Qing didn't know what to say .

"One loves everything associated with the person they love . If a person likes someone, they will slowly like everything about them . A lady's appearance itself is one of the most important parts . It's because one's appearance is what attracted the other person to like them in the first place . The first impression is very important . The guy will then slowly begin to like her interior and everything else . Why is it that no man would like the interior of an extremely ugly woman?" Qing Shui smiled and asked .

"I'm a widow," Nalan Qing said .

"Putting aside the fact that you're still a virgin, even if you were really married and even had kids, I would still like you . My feelings for you wouldn't be affected at all," Qing Shui said sincerely, but this was really something he could really do, like how it had been for Mingyue Gelou .

Nalan Qing felt very happy inside, but she had no idea what she was feeling happy about . It was as if a window had been opened up in her heart and this world seemed to have suddenly become a lot brighter than before . Her shining eyes that were like stars looked at Qing Shui with a hint of a smile .

Qing Shui pulled Nalan Qing gently and she fell into his arms . She gasped, "You aren't allowed to bully me . "

"How can I bear to do so? I can't wait to dote on you instead . " Qing Shui grinned . However, he merely hugged her and didn't do anything more . For a woman like her, if he were to be too aggressive, it would just have the opposite effect from what he wanted .

Nalan Qing was very quiet . She hadn't expected that she would feel such an unprecedented sense of calmness, being embraced by the arms of a man .

"Qing Shui, thank you . " Nalan Qing hugged Qing Shui gently .

"I don't wish for you to be acting like this just because you feel thankful," Qing Shui smiled and said .

"I thought men would go through any means to get their hands on the woman they want?" Nalan Qing smiled .

"Who said that? Come, tell your man that you like him . " Qing Shui smiled .

Nalan Qing blushed a little and threw him a coy glance, "No!"

"Are you sure?" Qing Shui licked his lips and smiled lewdly .

Nalan Qing's face turned even redder but she didn't say anything . This made Qing Shui stunned for a moment and a strange thought rose up in his mind . Did she want him to kiss her?

This thought made Qing Shui a little excited . He wasn't a virgin and his understanding of women was a lot better than how it had been in the past . Therefore, when this thought rose up, Qing Shui inched in slowly . His speed wasn't fast, giving Nalan Qing the time to stop him .

However, Qing Shui wasn't stopped even when his lips touched hers . Despite so, he sensed the figure in his arms shivering .

Qing Shui was very gentle, kissing her lips thoroughly . They were fragrant, exquisite, and had a charming coolness as well . Nalan Qing's body stiffened up a little as she gritted her teeth tightly and had her eyes closed .

Qing Shui felt that the current Nalan Qing was especially cute .

"Qing`er, we're kissing . Relax a little . We aren't going to battle," Qing Shui slightly pried open her lips and said softly .

Hearing Qing Shui's words, Nalan Qing's face turned even redder and she didn't dare to open her eyes . However, her exquisite face inched forward a little and gently touched Qing Shui's face . Her lips pouted a little . For such a divine beauty to do such a cute action, Qing Shui almost had a nosebleed .

His hands unconsciously hugged Nalan Qing tightly as he sucked onto her tender lips . His tongue tried to pry open Nalan Qing's teeth, but he didn't know if Nalan Qing was nervous or acting instinctively, but her teeth were tightly shut . Her beautiful nose trembled slightly, letting out a soft flow of air .

Qing Shui's hand slowly moved along Nalan Qing's back and his lips kissed her slowly but deliberately, as he tried to get Nalan Qing to relax .
