Prince Nolan only had to glance at Serena to know she was up to something strange again. It wasn’t the first time—and every time Serena made that face, it was never anything good.
Nolan’s first instinct was to push back, but seeing how excited Serena looked, he didn’t want to rain on her parade. After a moment’s hesitation, he spoke up cautiously.
“If you guessed that Liancastle is mine, then you’re absolutely right—Liancastle really does belong to me. As for why I paired Charlotte Chu and Prince Jason together, your guess isn’t bad, but you missed the most important point...” This way, Serena wouldn’t have the nerve to ask for a reward.
“Huh? What point?” Serena had no idea Nolan was leading her on and asked without thinking.
Nolan smiled mysteriously, very pleased with how clueless Serena looked. Without keeping her in suspense, he said, “The most important point is that Jason is an Eastlyn man. If Chu City falls to Eastlyn, it falls into my hands.”
Even though he wasn’t the Emperor of Eastlyn now, as long as he wanted to, everything in Eastlyn could become his at any time.
“You... are so arrogant.” Serena said this, but she believed every word Nolan said.
If Chu City fell to Eastlyn, it would be much better for Nolan than if it fell to Westlyn, Southlyn, or the Cui, Wang, or Xie families.
The key is, if it were anyone else involved with Charlotte Chu, the Emperor would do everything to suppress the matter. But with his own son, not only would the Emperor refuse to cover it up—he’d go out of his way to make it happen.
To the Emperor, it didn’t matter whether Prince Rowan or Prince Jason married Charlotte Chu.
“I’m just telling the truth.”
“Go ahead, be proud.” Nolan was full of swagger, but it was impossible to dislike him—he’d earned the right to be arrogant.
To borrow Serena’s own words, that little proud look of his just made you want to pounce and bite him—and Serena did exactly that...
“Looking at you like this, I can’t help wanting to bite you.” Serena suddenly got up, tackled Nolan, and bit him hard on the neck. “I’ve wanted to do this for ages.”
“Serena—” Nolan cried out in pain, but before he could finish, Serena sealed his lips with hers, her tongue sweeping lightly across his thin lips.
“No talking,” Serena mumbled.
“Mm.” Nolan instinctively replied. Serena’s eyes flashed with a sly smile, and while Nolan was still surprised, she swallowed all his unfinished words.
“Ser—”
It was late at night. With a beauty throwing herself into his arms, Nolan would have been a fool to refuse.
Nolan immediately switched from passive to active: “It’s rare for you to be so passionate, Serena. How could I possibly waste it? I love when you take the initiative.”
With that, Nolan pressed Serena beneath him, kissing her deeply while his fingers traced skillfully over her body.
Nolan wasn’t great at putting clothes on, but when it came to undressing—especially undressing Serena—he was lightning fast. In just a few moves, he had her completely bare.
“Does this count as being impatient?” Serena teased. Nolan denied it instantly: “Not at all.”
“If you say it doesn’t, then it doesn’t.” Serena smiled softly, her charm impossible to describe.
The allure between woman and girl made Nolan’s whole body burn.
