Faced with Chen Mo's sudden attack, the Empress instinctively tensed her body, covering her chest with her hands, and exclaimed angrily and shyly, "You scoundrel, you were clearly awake the whole time, pretending to sleep! You're terrible!"
Chen Mo chuckled, "Your Highness took advantage of my unconsciousness, acting secretly and seizing the opportunity. Between us, who is truly the wicked one?"
"Nonsense, who was taking advantage of whom?" The Empress's cheeks flushed, and she stammered, "I just pinched your face, unlike you... you..."
"Unlike me what?" Chen Mo asked.
"You know perfectly well!" The Empress furrowed her delicate nose and glared at him, half embarrassed, half teasing.
"I'm but an upright gentleman. If I remember correctly, last time it was your Highness who took the initiative..." Chen Mo said with a face of innocence.
