The Emperor’s Favorite Imperial Concubine is an OCh56.1 - Kiss (1)

Translator: ChiFu

Wen Mingyu wanted to confess and was afraid that after saying it, he would get bad results. Mu Zhan might not even like him and only treat him as an herbal incense. And worse yet, Mu Zhan only had a passing like for him. NqdPAz

But the truth came as a complete shock. Before he could say something, Mu Zhan stole his moment.

The fact that Mu Zhan had robbed him wasn’t enough. He intended to appoint him to the position of empress, denying him any chances at all.

Wen Mingyu proceeded from being initially pleasantly surprised to feeling conflicted, impatient, and even more frustrated.

I haven’t even uttered a word, so how come you have assumed that I don’t like you! I’ve spent so much time practicing so many lines! JYEZ4

His palms were already perspiring from nervousness, and now that he was also overstimulated, he completely forgot about his lines as his mind blacked out. Even worse, he had no idea what he was going to say.

Unexpectedly, Mu Zhan turned away, not meaning to listen to his response. Or perhaps for Mu Zhan, he did not recognize anything else except the ‘yes’ reply.

Wen Mingyu’s heart was in turmoil. When the man said those words of confession, he didn’t even notice Mu Zhan’s eyes that were fixedly fixed on him, his body that was stiff, his motions a touch awkward, and his expressionless face that revealed a trace of imperceptible tension as he handed him the imperial edict.

He was also afraid of hearing Wen Mingyu’s reply of refusal, so at the very moment he opened his mouth, the possibility was cut off and not accepted.

After words were said, Wen Mingyu stared at him in astonishment and disbelief. He was slow to give an answer. Mu Zhan’s heart grew heavier as he continued to wait. He had envisioned many things, but he still harbored the tiniest glimmer of hope that Wen Mingyu would say ‘yes’.

As a result, Wen Mingyu really didn’t agree.

Forcing himself, Mu Zhan turned his head to avoid showing his woeful side and being seen by Wen Mingyu. He pretended as if nothing had happened. His face showed little emotion, but the hand tucked into his sleeve trembled faintly by his side.

But the moment Wen Mingyu realized he was leaving, he became anxious. Since he had forgotten what he wanted to say and could not confess his feelings, he simply took action. Vp7250

Wen Mingyu straightforwardly hugged Mu Zhan and kissed him.

A sudden kiss that was so desperate it almost hit the other man’s lips, his teeth almost knocking on them.

Mu Zhan froze, and surprise was all in his eyes when Wen Mingyu took the initiative to kiss him.

It was just lips pressing together at first, but after feeling it was inadequate, Wen Mingyu stretched the tip of his tongue and licked across his lips. His lips were soft and warm, very kissable. It was quite hard to imagine that these lips belonged to the tyrant with the always-present deadpan expression he typically wore. 6o5RW

Even when he just disclosed his marriage proposal, his expression was stern, not in the way of courtship but more in the way of threatening to compel him into a union.

Wen Mingyu was a little speechless, a laugh almost escaping his lips. Despite being different from what he had anticipated, the result was very good. His concerns that Mu Zhan was only being kind to him because of the pheromones also vanished, for if he had only wanted his pheromones, there would have been little reason to make him the empress. For a position of such importance, it would be more useful to give it to the thousand daughters of any illustrious family with their lineages who were more helpful to Mu Zhan’s power than him.

How did Mu Zhan look like someone who would just randomly appoint someone as empress. To be able to say that, he must have liked him, and not just a passing like.

Wen Mingyu was startled by his overly aggressive attack, prompting a reflexive retreat. Mu Zhan, however, forbade him from doing so and began to stalk and encircle him. Wen Mingyu was sucked so much that the tip of his tongue was extremely numb. His lips were a little sore, and he unconsciously glanced at Mu Zhan, only to find that his eyes were dark, seemingly wanting to swallow him in one gulp.

Wen Mingyu swallowed without realizing it, and it wasn’t until he had done so that he realized that some of them might not just be his; a share of them were Mu Zhan’s as well.

As his face got even redder and warmer, it began to spread down to his neck like a bright red flower clinging to every inch of his being. g9 0IT

As soon as Wen Mingyu took the initiative, Mu Zhan was like a madman, firmly encircling him and shackling him with his arms. He even hated that he could not embed the young man in his arms. The pressure on his hands rose, pinching his waist a bit.

“Wuu,” Wen Mingyu slurred, while his hand slapped Mu Zhan’s arm, signaling him to loosen up a bit.

Mu Zhan seemed to understand and really loosened his grip. He still kept a firm grip on Wen Mingyu, though, giving him no room for escape.

He had no idea how long the kiss lasted before finally ending. MdU3l1

Wen Mingyu let out a few sharp gasps after parting, then looked at Mu Zhan and said, “I like you.”

It was not ‘I like you, too’.

It’s that I like you.

What he said was not an answer, but rather something he had previously planned to say. FwUcSr

Wen Mingyu expressed his slight displeasure after having said that, stating, “I was intending to talk about it tonight, but you were a step ahead of me. Forget it if you had beaten me to it, but you didn’t even give me a chance to speak. What the heck, ah…”

Mu Zhan gazed at him. His voice was low and scratchy, as if he were trying to restrain something. “So, you like me? Is that true?”

Wen Mingyu nodded earnestly. In this kind of situation, would one still tell lies to fool people?

The second he nodded his head, Mu Zhan kissed him down once more. QBgLRM

He froze, not expecting another kiss to happen again. But then Mu Zhan cupped his face, his fingers rubbing his cheeks carefully, whispering quietly, “Open your mouth.”

Wen Mingyu foolishly forgot to catch his breath again.

His eyelashes flickered with obvious panic and confusion, as if he had been severely bullied.

Seeing this, Mu Zhan increasingly darkened, and he intensified his kiss. QgsD2v

And Wen Mingyu was limited to tilting his head and kissing. He didn’t resist a bit but rather took the lead to stretch out his tongue and stuck it in, sending it to the door. He obediently allowed people to bully him without even flinching, and he was so sweet and tender. Mu Zhan nipped down and had no desire to let go at all, wishing he could be entwined with him for the rest of his life.

It took a long time before they could barely part.

With the arms and legs too limp and unsteady, Wen Mingyu could only lean on Mu Zhan’s chest and use him as support.

The pheromones were snugly braided and intimate for so long that one could no longer distinguish who was who. CRVKxs

Mu Zhan hugged him closely. He placed his hand on the imperial edict containing the appointment of an empress. He said, “This one will issue the edict tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Wen Mingyu—who still hadn’t come back—stood there stupefied for a while before dazedly mumbling, “This, this… won’t do.”

Immediately, Mu Zhan’s narrowed eyes darted to him; his glare was rather dangerous. “You were deceiving this one just now.”

Wen Mingyu shook his head. “No, I just think it’s too early. We ought to discuss…” dating first. mhan2r

But Mu Zhan interrupted him, becoming unusually impatient. He scowled, not being able to make sense. “You and I harbor the same feelings for each other. For what reason must we not marry?”

“We’ve just confessed our love for each other, and now we’re getting married. We are moving too quickly,” explained Wen Mingyu. “I would like the two of us to be in a relationship and spend some time together first.”

“You like me—yet not willing to marry me?” Mu Zhan squinted, his voice a little threatening.

Wen Mingyu was perplexed. Evidently, what he was saying was something common: that a romantic relationship goes through a process. How come, when Mu Zhan repeated it, he sounded like such a big scumbag? qUmxD0

Wen Mingyu opened his mouth but didn’t even know where to begin. “That’s not what I mean. I just said that marriage doesn’t have to be so soon, not that I’m not willing.”

“Since you figured you‘d get married sooner or later, why do you want it to be later? You can have a relationship and spend time even after you’re married.” Mu Zhan appeared to be genuinely puzzled and completely obsessed with getting married.

“… That’s not the same.”

Wen Mingyu wasn’t particularly opposed to getting married. But because he liked Mu Zhan, he naturally wanted to be with him properly. Not wanting any shortcomings or regrets, he didn’t want him to miss out on anything. Every wonderful experience that others had, he wished Mu Zhan could have it as well. Just like the confession just now, Mu Zhan said it before he did. He could have kept his mouth shut or just said, “I am, too”. He didn’t want to, however. He wanted to fully declare his liking. ni5UZX

He wanted to accompany Mu Zhan through a different path. And I would like to say that even with the absence of our family, there is still me here.

Wen Mingyu wrapped his arms around Mu Zhan’s neck, buried his face in his arms, and couldn’t resist confessing again, “I like you, I love you very much.”

On the side of Mu Zhan’s neck, warm breath spilled gently over his skin, like little fluffy claws lightly scratching at his heart.

Mu Zhan couldn’t help gritting his teeth. His thin lips pursed and tensed into a straight line. eryZd9

It’s too sly to say such words.

It rendered him unable to continue.

Mu Zhan stopped somewhat helplessly. He made no further mention of the empress matter. Rather, he touched his face and squeezed it a little. Then he traced his fingers down to his lips and rubbed them briskly twice as if in punishment, unhappy that he didn’t agree to marry him.

But this evening was, undeniably, a night of immense joy to remember. Idj46D

Mu Zhan made it clear. He expressed his heart and got the best of the same answer.

He lowered his head and pecked Wen Mingyu on the lips again and again. In contrast to the earlier intense and passionate kiss, these kisses were merely a feathery touch, irregular pecks that fell in different spots, making one’s heart flutter along.

Wen Mingyu couldn’t stand it anymore. He tilted his head and kissed him back, but Mu Zhan happened to move at the same time, so he missed the kiss and only met his chin.

I’m a little upset. WtKUXC

Mu Zhan then bowed his head slightly and offered himself to him for a kiss.

Their lips were only a little distance apart, and just a pout could touch them.

Wen Mingyu giggled and really just pouted, kissing him

He gave him a quick-sounding kiss straight on the face. q JQpU

Muah.

Wen Mingyu heard this and lowered his eyelashes, feeling a little embarrassed but giddy at heart.

He liked kissing Mu Zhan. It felt very intimate and cozy.

His face became rosy red, his eyes sparkled with bits of light, and all the things he wanted to say reflected very transparently on his face. AIz7OF

Mu Zhan smiled, no longer dwelling on the imperial edict. Wen Mingyu really liked him, and he could see that. And as for the marriage proposal, the future was long. He would find a way to persuade Wen Mingyu to agree, soon.
