Young Master Meng's hand was gently caressing the Princess' back.

The Princess had not yet thought of how to explain to Young Master Meng when her follow-up question caused her ears to turn red.

At the same time, the hand Young Master Meng placed on the Princess' waist easily stirred the unusual thoughts she had managed to suppress.

Without giving the Princess a chance to speak, Young Master Meng kissed her directly.

Thus, what Young Master Meng's question originally meant and what she was thinking at that time became self-evident.

With Young Master Meng taking the lead in battle, the Princess always ended up at a disadvantage.

When Young Master Meng pressed her down again to claim her, the Princess had not yet recovered. For a moment, she did not even have the strength to fight back.

Unlike the joyful smile from their previous moments of passion, this time, seeing the deep reluctance and longing in Young Master Meng's eyes, the Princess could not help but feel a little lost.

So Young Master Meng was already unwilling to part.

Thinking of this, the Princess could not help but curl her lips.

She did not stop Young Master Meng, only tried to suppress the panting in her throat, and struggled to raise her hand to wrap around Young Master Meng's waist, pulling her closer before asking with a smile, “What, you cannot bear to leave me?”

Seeing that the Princess still had the strength to tease her, Young Master Meng secretly increased the force of her hands.

Seeing the Princess' increasingly dazed eyes, she finally smiled with satisfaction.

“Who cannot bear to leave you?”

Young Master Meng gradually lowered her head, rubbing against the Princess' chest.

After hearing the Princess' uncontrollable panting, Young Master Meng murmured softly.

“I am afraid you will be the one who cannot bear to leave me...”

Young Master Meng did not want to leave the Princess, and even more, she did not want her presence to cause any trouble for the Princess.

Without the Princess answering, she already knew that if she shamelessly stayed by her side, it would bring her trouble.

“So, to prevent you from missing me uncontrollably in the future, I have to feed you until you are full...”

The Princess never thought that Young Master Meng would behave like this when she goes crazy.

If she had known that after that conversation, Young Master Meng tirelessly fed her, she would have blocked Young Master Meng's mouth from the beginning, not giving her a chance to speak.

Unfortunately, before the Princess was ready, before she thought of how to explain to Young Master Meng, she was already taken to the peak of ecstasy by her, bewildering her mind and heart.

By now, no matter how much the Princess regretted or lamented, it was useless.

The Princess did not know where Young Master Meng had learned these wicked thoughts, and she did not expect that this time, she would not stop like that night, but instead, would tirelessly bring her to ecstasy in various ways.

Amid their passionate entanglement, she had already forgotten what she originally wanted to say.

At this moment, although the Princess was bewildered, due to the deep reluctance before leaving, Young Master Meng became even more clear-headed.

Having tasted the flavor of love for the first time and then facing separation, who could bear it?

Even after taking the Princess to the heights of ecstasy again and again, Young Master Meng still felt it was not enough.

She could not see enough, taste enough, or have enough.

Sleepless all night, entangled to the death, only led to a deeper reluctance in Young Master Meng's heart.

Until dawn, the two, exhausted, lay together under the quilt.

“Your Highness…”

Young Master Meng rubbed her nose against the Princess' nose, making her giggle with ticklishness. When the Princess opened her eyes again, Young Master Meng softly called out,

“I have to go.”

Only then did the Princess realize the hour and sighed, "It will be dawn soon."

“Mm.”

Young Master Meng took a deep breath, trying to remember the scent of the Princess, then gently moistened her swollen lips and hoarsely said, "You should sleep now, staying up all night must have exhausted you."

In the latter half of the night, the Princess had been rendered powerless to resist.

After being teased for so long, the Princess now felt utterly weak and sore all over, unable to summon any strength.

Although she had been prepared to send Young Master Meng away, seeing the deep reluctance in her eyes now, the Princess suddenly found herself reluctant to part as well.

“Wait.”

Li Qiubai quickly reached out and held Young Master Meng's waist tightly, not giving her a chance to retreat, murmuring, “It is too early, do not leave yet, let us lie down a while longer.”

Young Master Meng lowered her eyes, gently stroking the Princess' brows and eyes, carefully remembering the face that had disturbed her thoughts.

“If you cannot bear to part with me, just say so. Who knows, this Young Master might happily decide to stay for you.”

Young Master Meng's pretentious words seemed to be a joke but they carried a hint that the Princess picked up on.

It seemed that Young Master Meng wanted to leave, but even more, she wanted to stay.

Although the Princess was glad that Young Master Meng was willing to reconsider for her, willing to hesitate, she not only could not bear to part with Young Master Meng, but also could not bear to see Young Master Meng living beside her in such anxious and secretive circumstances.

The Princess forcibly suppressed her reluctance in her heart.

“Silly girl.”

She just rubbed against Young Master Meng's lips, not giving her a chance to hesitate. The Princess regained her strength, directly pulled Young Master Meng's hand, pulled back the sheets, sat up, and raised her hand to rub her brow.

After a brief pause to regain her senses, she dragged her tired body and climbed out of bed.

However, the moment she stepped on the ground, the Princess' legs accidentally collapsed.

Fortunately, Young Master Meng was always attentive to the Princess' movements. Before the Princess could collapse to the ground, she had already caught up and embraced her.

Seeing the Princess in such an embarrassing state for the first time, Young Master Meng, the instigator, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Who would have thought the Her Highness would be so frail? Was it too much to bear?”

Seeing Young Master Meng's gleeful and triumphant laughter, the Princess only raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled meaningfully.

It seemed that only when Young Master Meng experienced being manipulated all night long in various positions would she understand the feeling of having a sore waist and weak legs.

Young Master Meng hadn't expected that the Princess, at this moment, was actually thinking about how to "retaliate" against her. After laughing, Young Master Meng felt a chill down her spine and nervously assessed the Princess' expression. Just as she was about to change her tune to save herself, she heard the Princess calmly say, "If you cannot control yourself next time, I will not play with you anymore."

Glancing again at the marks on the Princess' body, Young Master Meng suddenly felt guilty. 

Unable to resist clearing her throat, Young Master Meng quickly nodded cautiously and asked, "Then... will there be a next time?"

Thus, the Princess smiled faintly.

"It depends on what you think. If last night was just an unintended act of drunkenness on your part, then there will not be a next time."

Young Master Meng paused for a moment.

Did this mean that if it was not unintended, there could still be a next time?

The Princess didn't offer any further explanation. After speaking, she left Young Master Meng standing there alone to ponder the deeper meaning of her words.

Meanwhile, she draped herself in nightclothes and walked slowly to the wardrobe, retrieving a new set of clothes for Young Master Meng.

Inside and out, a completely new outfit was prepared, including shoes and socks.

Seeing this, Young Master Meng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow smugly. "Oh, it seems last night you really did deliberately not give me any shoes to wear."

Young Master Meng finally understood now. It turned out that the Princess really did intentionally want to keep her here last night.

Upon hearing this, the Princess neither argued nor explained further. She simply faintly smiled and set the clothes aside, then personally lowered her head to help Young Master Meng into the garments.

"If the old does not go, the new will not come."

That profound statement left Young Master Meng momentarily bewildered.

Perhaps it was the Princess' unusually focused and serious demeanor at this moment, but even standing naked before her, Young Master Meng couldn't conjure up any charming thoughts. She stood obediently in place, allowing the Princess to dress her.

As the Princess dressed her, no more words were exchanged. Young Master Meng closed her mouth silently and watched the Princess’ movements with quiet contemplation.

It was a rare occasion indeed, seeing the Princess dutifully dressing her.

The clothes on her body, from top to bottom, inside out, were all personally put on by the Princess. 

The new red clothes fit perfectly. Unlike the heavy dresses of noblewomen in the capital, it was a lightweight outfit suitable for martial arts for women in the jianghu.

Seeing this, it was clear that this outfit was specially prepared by the Princess for her.

Young Master Meng unconsciously softened her gaze. After the Princess' fastened the final belt for her, she reached out and gripped the clothes around the Princess' waist.

"The clothes are on..."

Young Master Meng pursed her lips and scrutinized the Princess' expression once again. Unable to discern any intention of detaining her from the Princess, she tentatively asked, "So…shall I really leave?"

Young Master Meng's thoughts were always hard to conceal, plainly evident on her face.

After sensing her intention to linger, the Princess couldn't help but smile, reaching up to touch her cheek. She took the initiative to offer a reason for the Young Master Meng to stay a while longer: "Stay a bit more, let me fix your hair again. Just think of it as...staying with me for a little longer."

Without waiting for a response, the Princess took Young Master Meng's hand and led her towards the dressing table. She gently pressed Meng down onto the seat in front of the mirror.

A private meeting in the middle of the night was clearly inappropriate for Young Master Meng's current hidden identity.

Young Master Meng understood this well. After daybreak, no matter where she would go, it was clear that staying in the Princess' mansion any longer wouldn't be suitable.

Once again having her hair styled by the Princess herself, Young Master Meng felt deeply moved.

Young Master Meng silently watched the movements of the beauty in the diamond-shaped mirror.

With the thought of taking one more look, Young Master Meng was reluctant to blink even for a second.

However, before Young Master Meng could shift her gaze away from the Princess standing behind her, the Princess had already finished styling her hair, leaned against her shoulder, and whispered in her ear teasingly:

"How about it, now you know how skillful my hands are, right?”

Young Master Meng paused for a moment, then suddenly grasped the deeper meaning behind the Princess' words.
