I woke up as the Villainous Empress

129 First Night (III)

“Erm....why is it morning already?” Yang Ning groaned when she stirred awake from her sleep because of the sunlight coming into the chamber through the windows. Unlike the nighttime when the lanterns were needed to brighten the room, the chamber was already brightened because of the day sunlight.

She tightly closed her eyes and pulled up the blanket to cover herself completely and turned to her side to sleep in a comfortable position.

She was still sleepy and was planning to sleep for a long time. Her body needs plenty of rest for her to move her body today. Moreover, her head was aching so much that it might split into two parts if she didn’t sleep properly.

Yesterday was too much for her petite and weak body to handle.

She slid a pillow under her head and hugged the other for a comfortable and cozy sleep.

“It’s nice. Hmm.” She moaned and hugged her squishy pillow to sleep more comfortably.

She caressed her soft and large pillow and was pleased by how strong and sturdy yet smooth it is.

She was about to fall asleep again and lost in dreamland when something hit her.

‘Oh? This pillow....why does it feel like a human?’ She held her breath when she had a strange realization.

.....

The pillow doesn’t smell like a pillow but more like a human body scent.

She bit her lips and furrowed her brows, scared to open her eyes and witness something that she shouldn’t do.

‘What happened last night?’ She tried to remember the events of the last night with her eyes closed.

Wasn’t she waiting for Zheng Liang in his chamber? Then....what happened after that? She remembered that she was feeling thirsty and drank some water.

However, she doesn’t remember anything that happened after that.

With her eyes closed, she cautiously moved her hands around to check if she was thinking too much about this situation. ‘Oh. It is so firm and warm, just like human skin.’

“Fang Fang, are you awake?” While she was trying hard to remember the events of the night and understand where she was, she heard a husky manly voice whispering near her ears.

‘Fang Fang?’ She snapped her eyes open as she couldn’t believe what she just heard. Is she back in her world?

However, when she opened her eyes, she was too shocked and speechless to react to the situation. Zheng Liang was lying on the bed next to her and was facing her with his gorgeous face.

Did he sleep next to her the whole night? Yet he was looking this gorgeous? Ridiculous!

Her breath hitched as she couldn’t dare to breathe aloud because his sleepy face was right next to her and if she breathed out heavily, he could smell her morning breath.

She doesn’t want that.

She pursed her lips as her eyes fixated on his handsome face and met his large eyes that were waiting for her response.

‘Did she hear it right?’ She wondered. She is still in this world and why would he call her using her real name?

He should call her Yang Ning and not Fang Fang which her parents and close friends used to call her as. How does he know about this name of hers?

How can it be possible?

“Fang Fang, are you not thirsty?” He asked again, causing her to look at him in a daze.

She didn’t hear it wrong. However, how does he know her real name?

Her face paled and she couldn’t help but wonder if she and he had any past life connection and if he recognized her despite being in Yang Ning’s body.

Just like in the dramas.

However, before she could think about anything else, she realized her current situation.

She panicked and tried to understand what kind of situation she was in. Her heart sank when she realized that she and Zheng Liang were sleeping on the same bed.

Not only that, but the pillow that she slid under her head to sleep comfortably was his arm, and the large pillow that she hugged to sleep was none other than Zheng Liang.

She was sleeping while hugging him tightly and her hand on top of his bare chest.

BARE CHEST?

She immediately sat up on the bed while tightly holding onto the blanket. She carefully looked under the blanket to see if she was wearing the clothes or not.

Zheng Liang has his robe removed. If she wasn’t wearing underneath as well, then....

She doesn’t want to imagine things that far away.

She took a deep breath before carefully checking her condition. She almost gasped aloud in shock when she realized that she wasn’t wearing her wedding dress anymore.

However, thankfully she still has her undergarments intact that she had worn under the wedding dress.

The white undergarments were a combination of a long white bandage that was wrapped around her chest and was working as a breast support for her instead of a bra. On top of that, she was wearing a light-material vest tied with a knot around her chest.

For the bottom, she was wearing an off-white cotton material petticoat to wear under the large skirt.

She was feeling out of place in these clothes, however, it is still better than nothing. If she had worn these undergarments in her world, these clothes would have posed as party outfits if designed more fashionably.

Comfy and breathable.

She doesn’t care if she is wearing undergarments or pajamas. Anything will do as long as she is not naked in front of him.

However, how come they ended up in this situation?

“Fang Fang, is anything wrong?” Zheng Liang asked again when Yang Ning didn’t answer any of his questions.

Yang Ning pursed her lips and snapped at him in confusion, ” Stop....stop calling me Fang Fang. Why do you keep calling me that way? It sounds strange.” She shouted at him but eventually lowered her voice in embarrassment upon noticing the change in his expression.

Hearing her real name from his mouth sounds different and made her uncomfortable. Who told him about this name anyway?

She was already stressed while trying to think about what happened last night and here he keeps bugging her to talk to him.

However, after snapping at him, she was feeling guilty for shouting at him. He wouldn’t get angry at her for it, would he? She wondered.

She cannot forget her position. She is still in Yang Ning’s body and he is the Crown Prince in this fictional world.

She cannot dare to wage a war against him. It will be like inviting a death note.

....

Zheng Liang looked at her with a frown and could see that she looked different than the last night. She was trying to be careful around him with her actions, unlike the last night where she was treating him however she liked and was ordering him around forgetting their hierarchy in their statuses.

He didn’t say anything and got off the bed. He walked towards the round tea table in the room and filled the cup with water.

” Drink some water first. You must have had a headache because of last night.” He handed her a cup of water while he proceeded to wear his outer robe.

Yang Ning pursed her lips guiltily for shouting at him and took the cup of water and sipped on it hesitantly while glancing at him nervously.

Is he angry because of what I said? She wondered when he didn’t say anything to her and was changing her clothes.

However, many questions were flashing in her head, making her feel dizzy. Exactly what happened last night between them?

How did they end up in this bizarre position? He was half naked, she was also lying on the bed in her undergarments only.

What did they do last night for them to end up like that?

While she was lost deep in her thoughts, she heard him say, ” If you are worried about last night, nothing happened between us.” He said.

“Ah?” Yang Ning was surprised when he suddenly mentioned about the last night. She was relieved upon hearing this but was also curious about the things that happened between them.

” Weren’t you panicking because of it? At least that’s what it looked like to me. Looks like you have forgotten everything about last night.” He said while looking at her seriously.

Yang Ning pursed her lips in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly. Why is he so smart? He knew what she was thinking before she could ask him about anything.

“When I returned to the chamber, you almost emptied the wine pot and were heavily drunk.” He continued, telling her about the last night.

Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment when he mentioned the wine pot.

‘So it was the wine and not the water.’ She sighed when she remembered drinking the water. Turned out it was the wine and not the water.

‘How can she almost empty it? Ah! So embarrassing.’

“Erm....Did...I made any mistakes last night? Or....did I say anything strange?” She asked cautiously. She needed to know what mess she made last night for both of them to end up in this situation.

After wearing his clothes, Zheng Liang looked at her with a smirk and cleared his throat before pulling a chair to sit, facing her.

” You want to know if you made any mistakes last night or not?” He sat on the chair and asked while looking at her with a meaningful smile.

She nodded and waited for him to tell her the truth.

“Are you sure?” He asked him.

Yang Ning pursed her lips and couldn’t help but wonder what she did last night to make him ask her that question.
