Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Sleeping Beauty’s Prince

Chi Enen touched the tired shadows under his eyes, pursed the corners of her mouth, swallowed all the words she had, and obediently pulled him into her embrace, watching as he closed his eyes.

“Chi Enen, I want to hear you speak.”

Even with his eyes closed, he didn’t forget to make his demand.

Chi Enen thought for a moment and asked, “What should I talk about?”

“Anything, as long as you speak.” He wanted to hear her voice; throughout these past five days, he had constantly yearned for nothing else.

...

After a moment of silence in the room, Chi Enen’s gentle voice began, “A long, long time ago, in a joyful country lived a group of happy people, leading content and blissful lives. That is until one day, the queen of this country gave birth to a daughter and a witch appeared. The witch cursed the newborn princess, proclaiming that on her 18th birthday, she would be pricked by a spindle and the whole country would fall asleep along with her…”

Dammit, it was Sleeping Beauty again!

Li Beijue had intended to ask her to change the story, but for some reason, as he listened to her soothing voice, his tense nerves relaxed, and he didn’t want to move his closed eyes at all. These past few days, not even sleeping pills had enabled him to sleep, yet in the gentle cadence of her voice, sleep came so easily.

“18 years later, the princess grew up. She was intelligent and beautiful, hardworking and kind. When she heard a maid talking about a weaving machine hidden in the palace basement that she had never seen, she was very curious. That night she secretly went to the basement, evading the maid, and encountered a room full of weaving machines. With utmost astonishment, she reached out to touch one. Right at this moment, an accident happened; the spindle needle accidentally pricked the princess’s finger, and the witch’s magic came true. The princess and the entire country fell into a deep slumber. It was only many years later that princes from nearby countries heard of this tale, and one handsome and brave prince decided to break the witch’s curse and rescue the princess and her people. He braved the perilous forest and finally found the sleeping princess. With a kiss on her lips, the princess awoke, and so did all the people of the country. From then on, the princess and the prince lived a happy and joyful life.”

Chi Enen finished the story of Sleeping Beauty and heard the man beside her breathing steadily in sleep. She curved the corner of her mouth and looked at the man who had fallen asleep. Her gaze slid down his high bridge of the nose and settled on his rose-colored, kissable, sexy thin lips.

She quietly moved a little closer and lightly kissed his lips.

It was but a brief touch, and then she pulled away.

She had been cursed by a witch when she was 18 years old, but she was luckier than Sleeping Beauty; she didn’t have to sleep for decades before meeting her prince.

That very night she was cursed, she encountered a prince with a temper, and it just so happened that he saw her and casually rescued her.

After that, her fate had changed.

Chi Enen clenched her fist secretly, her resolve growing firmer inside.

Her gaze returned to the man beside her who, even in sleep, held her tightly. Drowsiness suddenly overtook her. She was pregnant now and easily tired. She hadn’t slept at all the previous night, and now, lying on the bed with the pressing issues resolved, she smiled and slowly closed her eyes, swiftly drifting into sleep.

In her dreams was a faint scent of mint, and a comforting, tranquil aroma…
