Chapter 224: The Empress Was Sweeter Than Preserves

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Ke Ruan, who was forced to unlock the new gesture, caught a cold the next day. He couldn’t keep a close watch on his sister. Instead, he was being watched carefully by Si Yuhan and couldn’t go anywhere.

Ke Ruan stared at the dark medicine and frowned. Ancient medicines were really darn bitter, which were absolutely not comfortable to drink as the modern ones that could cure one without any bitterness.

“Take your medicine, good boy.”

Ke Ruan didn’t want to see Si Yuhan. He took the bowl of medicine in silence and drank it all in one gulp.

‘Damn it, it’s f**king bitter.’

He had also drunk a lot of modern Chinese medicines, but he really hadn’t had such bitter ones.

Ke Ruan’s white little face puckered, and there were even several small wrinkles on his nose.

There was a glint of care in Si Yuhan’s eyes. He took the preserves and said softly, “Come on, open your mouth. It won’t be so bitter after eating some preserves.”

Ke Ruan shook his head. “No, thanks.”

He was no longer a child. He didn’t need to be coaxed or eat preserves.

Si Yuhan raised his eyebrows. “You really don’t want to have them, do you?”

He didn’t know if it was because he was sick or not, but Ke Ruan felt that he shouldn’t have lost his temper. Especially his illness was caused by this person who was actually fine and still gloating over him here, he was even more angry.

“I said ‘no’.”

His tone was very aggressive.

Instead of being angry, Si Yuhan rarely fed the preserves into his mouth. “Well, they’re sweet, which tasted good.”

Ke Ruan rolled his eyes at him.

“They’re very sweet. Don’t you want to have them?”

“No.”

The moment he said that, Ke Ruan’s jaw was lifted and his lips were immediately blocked. The wet and hot temperature was accompanied by the sweetness, which cleared the bitterness in his mouth completely.

Ke Ruan was a little dazed, which made Si Yuhan became more arrogant. When the person in his arms could no longer breathe and blushed, Si Yuhan reluctantly stopped kissing him.

Si Yuhan gently rubbed Ke Ruan’s swollen lips with the belly of his index finger and said with satisfaction, “I think the preserves are sweet enough. But I didn’t expect you to be sweeter. No wonder you don’t need to eat the preserves.”

Ke Ruan was speechless. ‘Go to hell!’

His eyes with resentment alighted on Si Yuhan who couldn’t restrain himself and lowered his head to kiss Ke Ruan’s forehead. “Be good, I won’t bully you. Have a good rest. I’ll take you to meet your sister when you feel better, okay?”

Ke Ruan looked at him, “Really?”

He had been begging for so long and couldn’t make Si Yuhan relent that he could only get the news of his sister from others.

“Yes, when have I lied to you?” How would he be willing to lie to him?

Ke Ruan rolled his eyes at him. This guy had already lied to him more than once.

Si Yuhan laughed, “Good boy, how could you believe a man at that time?”

Ke Ruan, “I… want to stay here quietly.”

“Okay, have a good rest. I’ll give you some time to calm down,” Si Yuhan kindly put him on the bed and tucked him in.

Ke Ruan goggled at him like he saw a ghost. ‘What’s wrong with this guy who would be a pushover today?’

“Does your expression mean that you don’t want me to leave, my dear? Of course, if you really don’t want it, I can…”

“No, no,” Ke Ruan quickly shook his head. “I want to be quiet, I really want to.”

Si Yuhan ruffled his hair and his gentle and attached eyes alighted on Ke Ruan’s face.

He stared at him for a long time without saying anything, and Ke Ruan didn’t dare to speak either. Who knew whether he would go crazy and wouldn’t leave if he said too much?

It seemed that Si Yuhan wanted to imprint Ke Ruan’s face in his mind and bones.

Si Yuhan ordered the palace maids to take good care of Ke Ruan until there was no omission and then left Ruanhan Palace.
