A weak and evil woman was exiled? The beastly husbands risked their lives to protect her

Chapter 264 Doesn't Xiaoli want to kiss me?
Bai Yao tilted his head slightly, his long, snow-white hair slipping down his shoulders, revealing a handsome face as elegant as a painting.

His emerald green eyes rippled with tenderness as he softly called out, "Little Pear?"

Jiang Xinli's ears turned red, her fingertips trembled, and she was about to pull them back when his long, slender, pale fingers gripped her tightly.

He lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand, then helped her lie down on the sofa.

"Go to sleep." He leaned down and gently rubbed her forehead.

Jiang Xinli took a deep breath and said, "Mm."

After she closed her eyes, Bai Yao got up and walked to his desk.

Jiang Xinli slept for a while and then woke up.

She turned her body slightly to the side, squinted, and glanced at Bai Yao.

The large desk made the man's figure appear even more upright.

His long, snow-white hair shimmered with a pearly luster under the light.

With a cold, white fingertip lightly tapping the holographic screen, his expression focused and serene.

She hadn't expected that Bai Yao would be more attractive at work than usual.
"Buzz—" The quantum computer vibrated.

It was a message from Sheng Tianze.

They said they would arrive at the official residence in another hour.

Jiang Xinli happily replied to the message, and immediately felt wide awake.

Bai Yao looked up and smiled gently, "Little Pear, you're awake."

"Okay." Jiang Xinli gathered her loose hair and sat up. "You go ahead and do your work. I'll be by myself for a while."

"Okay, I'll be done soon too." After saying that, Bai Yao looked away and continued to handle official business.

Jiang Xinli casually glanced around the office.

There is a large bookshelf on the side against the wall.

In interstellar space, daily communication and office work are basically paperless.

However, due to the special circumstances of Dark Star, both the prisoners exiled there and the officials kept some paper books.

She got up and walked towards the bookshelf.

Bai Yao looked up, his gaze following her figure.

Jiang Xinli glanced at them and saw many official policy books, as well as some popular science books.

Just as she was about to look away, she caught a glimpse of several planetary geography books on the top shelf.

One of them was from Dark Star.

As she tiptoed, her fingertips about to touch the book "The Geography of the Dark Star"—

A gentle breeze lifted the book and delivered it into her hands.

"Thank you," Jiang Xinli said softly.

Bai Yao smiled slightly. "You're welcome."

Jiang Xinli glanced at the book, her fingertips pausing slightly.

Dark Star was not always in its current barren and desolate state.

On the contrary, it is the planet with the most lush vegetation and the most diverse ecosystem in the entire interstellar space.

It has mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, primeval forests, majestic snow-capped mountains, and many rare and endangered plants and animals.

It looks just like ancient Earth.

Written records state that as spacetime rifts appeared and spread, the environment of the entire planet began to collapse.
But what was even more deadly was a thousand years ago.
"A thousand years ago?" Jiang Xinli frowned slightly.

Why, again, a thousand years ago?
What exactly happened a thousand years ago?
Continuing to flip through the pages, the remaining pages were completely blank.

"Little Pear—" Bai Yao's clear voice rang out behind her ear, and his warm chest immediately covered her back.

His long, slender arm reached across her side and braced itself on the bookshelf, trapping her within a small space.

"What are you thinking about?" His voice was low and hoarse.

"It's nothing." Jiang Xinli's hand trembled, and the book slipped from her grasp, but was steadily caught by an invisible breeze and gently landed on the coffee table beside her.

The room fell silent instantly.

All that remained were the sounds of their intertwined breaths.

Jiang Xinli felt her heart beating incredibly fast, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.

She should have turned aside.

But they found that they couldn't move their feet even half a step.

She pursed her lips, turned around, and a hint of panic flashed in her clear eyes. "Have you finished your official business?" "Yes." The man's slender fingers gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look directly at him.

"Bai Yao," Jiang Xinli turned her face away, her voice trembling slightly, "Sheng Tianze and the others should be arriving soon."

“Sheng Tianze?” Bai Yao repeated in a low voice, his emerald eyes darkening slightly.

The next second, Jiang Xinli was lifted up by his waist.

Bai Yao's arm muscles were taut, yet he lifted her up with remarkable ease.

"What are you going to do—" Jiang Xinli exclaimed, but her arms involuntarily wrapped around his neck.

The man didn't say a word, but carried her to his desk.

With a flick of the fingertips, a gentle breeze swept away all the items on the desk.

They were neatly arranged on the coffee table in the distance.

Bai Yao gently placed her on the desk.

He braced himself on one side of her, and with the other hand, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist, his posture upright as he leaned slightly forward.

Jiang Xinli realized what was happening and held her breath. "Bai Yao, this is the office."

"This is my office." His gentle voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

He leaned closer, his high, straight nose already lightly touching the tip of her nose.

His hot breath sprayed onto her cheeks.

Jiang Xinli was extremely flustered. "I..."

"Little Pear...don't you want to kiss me?" Bai Yao paused, looking tenderly into her eyes. "Or are you not used to the environment here?"

Jiang Xinli blushed. "This is, after all, an office."

“Then—” Bai Yao’s lips curled up, and a white silk ribbon appeared in his hand.

His voice was deep and seductive, "Close your eyes, okay?"

Jiang Xinli, as if possessed, closed her eyes.

With a slight twitch of her pale fingertips, she gently placed a silk ribbon over her eyes.

The silk was cool and smooth, and it was tied into a tight knot behind her head.

The world fell into darkness.

Jiang Xinli's senses suddenly became sharp.

She could feel Bai Yao's fingers gently brushing against her wrist.

An invisible wind wrapped around me.

Like the softest silk, yet with an irresistible force, it gently bound her hands behind her back.

He raised his knee and wedged it between her legs.

Two gentle breezes suddenly wrapped around her ankles.

"Bai Yao, you—" Jiang Xinli's heart pounded wildly.

The feeling was strange, yet dangerous.

She wanted to struggle, yet a faint longing surfaced in her heart.

“Visuals can be distracting. I want Xiaoli to focus solely on feeling me.” Bai Yao’s breath suddenly brushed against her ear, his warm breath caressing her ear. “Does Xiaoli like this feeling?”

Jiang Xinli blushed and pursed her lips.

A flutter of excitement crossed her heart, followed by a hint of suspicion.

Is this still the same Bai Yao, who was as pure and gentle as jade, and ascetic and restrained?
He seemed to exude an aggressive aura today.

Something's not right.

Could it be that he's actually a repressed, secretly passionate type?
Even with these thoughts in mind, her breathing became inexplicably rapid. "Bai Yao—"

"Call me A Yao," the man's voice suddenly became low and hoarse.

His palm gently traced her back.

His thin lips, still slightly warm, gently covered mine.

The instant their lips touched—

The man's snow-white hair was instantly replaced by a head of scarlet hair.

A pair of clear, bright green eyes were instantly stained with blood.
