Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1160

"Wait!" Lina's small hand pushed against Zuko's sturdy chest, her clever eyes blinking as she spoke softly. "Isn't His Majesty known for being hospitable? It doesn't make sense that we're given such a small room. Besides, the palace is so big—"

"His Majesty said there's only this room!" Zuko replied seriously. "Lina, it's not good to bother His Majesty over such a trivial matter…"

He coughed lightly and smirked. "Let's make do with it tonight, okay?"

"But..." Before Lina could argue further, her lips were sealed by Zuko's eager kiss.

It had been a long time since he had kissed her like this...

Zuko held her tightly, content as if he had obtained the whole world. His hand gently traced along her delicate back, lightly resting on her soft nape as if caressing a kitten's neck. His other hand around her waist gradually gained a mind of its own.

Lina's heart raced, feeling both confused and infatuated. She didn't know what to do next...

Zuko began to take advantage of the situation, guiding her toward the small bed. In a low, hoarse voice that ignited a fire within her, he whispered next to her ear, "Let's go to sleep early."

"Zuko..."

He held her small hand, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips, while his eyes were filled with tender affection like starlight.

Lina's cheeks flushed, her ears turning as red as ripe cherries. She sat on the edge of the bed without much coercion.

"Lina, I want... to have you."

Lina dared not look at Zuko. Her breath was bated. All she could hear was the thumping sound of her own heartbeat, her mind going blank.

Just as Zuko's hand was about to undo the fastening on her collar...

The door suddenly swung open!

Having similar experiences, Remus instantly understood what was going on in this lad's mind.

"Your Lordship." He stepped forward, respectfully helping him find an excuse. "Did you perhaps enter the wrong room?"

"Oh, uh... Yes!" Zuko tried to maintain a serious face. "It's been many years since I last came, and I... I'm not familiar with this place anymore!"

"No problem. His Majesty arranged a room for Ms. Lina right next to the Pearl Spring." Remus smiled. "Ms. Lina, please come with me."

Lina lowered her gaze, her face blushing, and she slowly walked away from behind Zuko.

Zuko hurriedly followed, but Remus turned around and looked at him. "Your Lordship, someone will take you to where you'll be staying later!"

"What?" Zuko was taken aback. "We won't be staying together?"
