The Story Of Dusk
/ The Story of Dusk 98 THE REVELATION
She was a beauty without a sense of malice, he had to admit it, her sleeping face was so ethereal and serene. He could spend the rest of the night just staring at her.
Closing his eyes, Xiao Tianyao tried to avert his attention from the alluring woman beside him. He tucked her under the blanket, but frowned after a moment of impulsiveness, the look in Xiao Tianyao's eyes turned brooding
It must be because the effect of her hypnosis.
He got off from the bed and turned off the incense, the smell from it was exceptionally sweet and could make one, who breathed in it, relaxed. Truth to be told, it wasn't a mere incense as Xiao Tianyao used it as a payback for drug that Luna had used to keep him asleep.
He had known her plan for some time now and observed her closely, her power indeed weakened for something that he didn't know yet.
Xiao Tianyao walked toward the drawer where Luna kept the bottle that Gong Xu had given to her and pulled out the item. He scrutinized and smelled it, but couldn't figure out what the use of the liquid inside the bottle.
Without looking back at the woman on the bed, he walked out of the room.
The guards who were standing in front of the door bowed their head respectfully like usual, but when Xiao Tianyao's figure had disappeared at the corner of the hallway, they were looking at each other in confusion.
Tonight, seemingly, a busy night for their Master and Mistress as both of them came in and out from the room frequently. Didn't they sleep at all?
The moon was covered in dark clouds as the night was still long and the chirping sound of cricket could be heard vividly.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tianyao walked toward a certain door and knocked softly. It was in the middle of the night, but the light from this room wasn't out yet, indicating the owner was still wide awake.
Originally he would still wake her up even if she was sleeping, but it wasn't necessary now.
There was a faint rustling sound before the door opened and revealed the face that he had only known for some time now.
"Prince Xiao Tianyao." Lin surprised when she saw Xiao Tianyao was standing in front of her. He was as perfect as she remembered and this made her heart fluttered.
"Did I wake you?" Xiao Tianyao stood in front of her with his hand on his back, his expression showed nothing, but it was enough to captivate Lin.
"No, Please come inside…" Lin was very nervous that she blurted out the words.
It was an awkward invitation as she was an unmarried woman that invited a married man inside her room in the middle of the night, it could interpret differently.
"Ah, what I meant…" Lin stuttered when she realized her misspoke, she was standing uncomfortably under Xiao Tianyao unperturbed eyes.
"I want you to check on something." Xiao Tianyao ignored her words and her nervousness as if he didn't hear or see anything wrong. He didn't even move from his spot and talked with her in the doorway.
"What can I help you with?" Lin fiddled with her fingers, didn't dare to raise her head to look at Xiao Tianyao.
She had heard about Xiao Tianyao's reputation and charm, but when the real person was standing right before her eyes, she couldn't help but think that the rumor about him had underestimated his beauty.
Luna was very fortunate for having a mission to seduce him!
Jealousy crept in Lin's heart.
When she received the mission, she didn't think about this further, but after seeing this man personally, she wasn't surprise that her Master was worried that Luna would neglect her duty and fell for this man for real.
Because when Lin looked at him, she felt, it was hard to resist his charm.
Xiao Tianyao reached out his hand while holding a small bottle between his fingers. "Identify this." He said calmly.
A flashed of surprised crossed her eyes that Xiao Tianyao interpreted differently, he thought it wasn't something that needed to be suspected.
Lin received the bottle and was certain that it was a bottle from Gong Xu, she knew that the three of them had a meeting tonight, but was surprised because Xiao Tianyao figured it out very fast.
Didn't they know that their secret meeting had been discovered?
Actually Lin didn't need to examine the liquid inside the bottle as she knew very sure what it was, however she still needed to put an act in front of him.
Thus, she opened the lid and smelled it.
"This is an abortion potion." She answered truthfully.
There was no use to lie to him, knowing his personality, it was most likely that he would ask for second opinion and if it happened and the second doctor gave him different answer, revealing the true contain of the liquid, Lin's position would be in danger, her façade would be discovered just like that.
If Xiao Tianyao had known the secret meeting, he must have seen Modama and Gong Xu as well, in other words, Luna's identity had exposed.
There was no use to risk her disguise as well.
Xiao Tianyao's eyes darkened. "Are you sure?" His voice was deep and calm, but it was a type of calm that would end up in violence.
"Yes, I am sure." Lin said with certainty. "If Prince Xiao Tianyao still has doubt, you can ask for the second opinion." She suggested generously.
However, Xiao Tianyao didn't say anything when he snatched the bottle and turned away while saying. "Please continue your sleep and I wish there is no word about this."
He said with his back facing Lin, without he knew that the young doctor was actually smiling when she replied.
"Yes. Prince Xiao Tianyao doesn't need to worry about this."
***
The long night had passed, it was longer than usual with all the even that occurred and all the shocking information that revealed, Xiao Tianyao spend his night looking for another doctor to confirm the liquid inside the bottle.
He took the information seriously, more serious than he thought he would be.
Somehow, he felt uneasiness deep inside his heart that he couldn't get rid easily. If Luna was pregnant then the father of the baby would be…
His trained of thought stopped at that revelations, he pinched the bridge of his nose, as his head throbbing painfully.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
He needed to get rid of Luna once he learned her origin, that was only the right thing to do, but… it meant, he would get rid of his child as well.
If Luna was really carrying his child…
A subtle moved on the bed caught his attention as he saw Luna slowly stirred awake. She reached out to the place beside her, but couldn't find Xiao Tianyao, she rubbed her sleeping eyes and found him sitting on the seat not too far from the bed, looking at her with indecipherable eyes.
"Tianyao… What are you doing there?" Luna was frowning as she felt something wrong in the way he looked at her.
