214 Grumbling Queen (1)

"..."

Seraphine found herself at a loss for words, her mind fighting with his inscrutable demeanor.

Her heart skipped a beat, a mix of indignation and unexpected embarrassment surging within her.

Slap!

In a reflexive motion, she slapped his hand away, her cheeks coloring with a flush of emotions. "Don't think too much, whatever happened, forget about it. Everyone makes mistakes. I was drunk, or you wouldn't have got me this easily," she asserted, her voice a blend of defensiveness and an attempt to salvage her dignity.

She pushed against him, trying to lift herself and create some distance, all the while striving to maintain an air of grace despite the turmoil churning inside her.

"Forget about it? Haha..." Wang Xiao's laughter rang out again, rich with a knowing undertone as he watched her struggle to sit up and move away from him.
