The moment his slightly cool fingertips touched Mingzhu’s skin, she trembled, tensing from head to toe, quickly rolling over and wrapping the blanket tightly into a cylinder, leaving only half of her head outside, her eyes wide and round, alertly staring at Yuwen Chu. “What are you trying to do?”
Yuwen Chu raised the corners of his lips suggestively. “What do you think?”
This person responds better to gentleness than to forcefulness. She mustn’t provoke his wild side. Mingzhu quickly advised, “It’s late at night, let’s sleep quickly. Tomorrow morning, we have to go to the palace to pay respects to the Emperor and the two Empresses. If we wake up late and miss the appointed time, it would be very disrespectful.”
“That’s a good reason, showing some progress.” Yuwen Chu complimented, patting her rolled-up blanket and pointing to his own cheek, “Spring nights are short. I’ll let you off for now, but you owe me.”
What, owe him? He made it sound like he suffered a great loss, when clearly she was the one who suffered? Mingzhu complained internally but, fearing his lecherous nature, was afraid he might try again, so she hastily pecked his cheek. Since Yuwen Chu remained motionless, she reminded him, “Good?”
Yuwen Chu shook his head. “Too perfunctory. I’m your husband; you can’t just perfunctory me. I’ll get angry.”
Mingzhu became anxious. “If you weren’t my husband, forget it! It’s enough, stop being choosy.”
She said it humorously, which made Yuwen Chu laugh. His gaze turned sharp as he looked at her. “Are you saying that only I can touch you?”
Mingzhu was indignant. “What do you mean? Am I some unfaithful woman?” Suddenly remembering her foolish actions from before, she felt a surge of anger and guilt, refusing to admit defeat in front of his knowing gaze. “That last time doesn’t count. You set me up, ambushed me, shamelessly took advantage of me! It’s not my fault!” Besides, she was planning to marry Shen Ruilin at the time. As long as Shen Ruilin touched her, they would have been considered husband and wife. It didn’t count as being unfaithful.
“Yeah, it’s not your fault, it’s all my fault.” Yuwen Chu smiled and gently caressed Mingzhu’s lips. Her delicate lips were slightly swollen from his earlier kisses, looking both charming and full. In the dim candlelight, they seemed incredibly enticing. He lowered his head and kissed her again, saying, “It’s my fault, I couldn’t resist.” He had endured for so many years, and now that she was within reach, only a fool would continue to endure. Did he have to watch her ignore his existence and run off with another man?
“No, you said…” Mingzhu’s words were swallowed by his passion, and she futilely pushed and hit him a few times. Her head was spinning, and she felt both resigned and helpless as she clung to his neck. Her mind was filled with the thought that she couldn’t breathe, couldn’t breathe. So this was what it felt like to faint.
The blanket was pulled away again, and Mingzhu was thrown into a panic. “You’re not keeping your word! You’re not keeping your word! This isn’t right, this isn’t right. If you keep this up, I’ll bite you, no, I’ll scream…”
“If you like, just scream as much as you want. I don’t mind the noise.” Yuwen Chu paid no attention to her, completely focused on what interested him. He poked here and kissed there, quickly avoiding her tense body whenever she tried to evade him, and continued downward.
It didn’t seem like he wanted to unleash his wild side and continue tormenting her, but this was still too strange. It was like he wanted to explore something, uncover some secret. Mingzhu felt very scared and couldn’t help but plead, “What do you want to do? Just get it over with.”
“Silly.” Yuwen Chu chuckled lightly and without hesitation, flipped her over onto her stomach, gazing at her snowy skin and beautiful butterfly bones for a moment before solemnly planting a kiss and huskily whispering, “Aren’t you fearless? I just wanted to see you, to see what you look like, to see how I can make you happier, make you like… How can you be so beautiful, so captivating?”
These words, so blush-inducing and heart-throbbing, made Mingzhu first think she had misheard. Then she felt extremely embarrassed; no one had ever praised her like this, especially not with such precious words. She was somewhat happy but remembered she had to maintain her composure; otherwise, she might be looked down upon. She had to respond modestly, so she said, “I’ve always been beautiful, you know that.”
“Hahaha…” Yuwen Chu burst into laughter. It was truly a typical Mingzhu-style response—self-assured, unpretentious, and factual.
Mingzhu felt both proud and annoyed at his laughter, so she couldn’t help but cover his mouth and scold, “Stop laughing like that! It’s annoying.” But when she saw him suddenly stop laughing and stare at her intently, she became nervous and scared again, curling up in the blankets and lowering her voice, “Why are you looking at me like that? Like a dog staring at a bone.”
“You…” Yuwen Chu smiled gently, fondly ruffling her hair and softly saying, “I’ve always known you were beautiful, but I never knew you were so stunning. I really like it.”
Mingzhu felt both proud and embarrassed, lowering her eyes and trembling her eyelashes for a long time before whispering softly, “I also never knew you could speak like this.” So shamelessly. She didn’t dare to say the last part of the sentence; she didn’t want to ruin the good atmosphere.
“There are many things you still don’t know. You’ll find out slowly.” Yuwen Chu took her hand and gently nibbled on it before flipping her over to lie on her stomach.
“What do you mean?” Mingzhu felt she had to find something to do; it was unsettling to be so quiet, with his breath filling the air.
“Shh… no more talking.” Yuwen Chu didn’t let her speak again, lowering his head to continue kissing along her waistline.
“Ah, no, you can’t do this!” Mingzhu was terrified, using her hand to protect her buttocks, trying to find a place to hide. But Yuwen Chu grasped her hand, separating it, and alternately bit lightly and heavily. Mingzhu blushed pink with embarrassment, her whole body tensing up like a drawn bow. How could he do this? How could he not be disgusted? If she had to kiss another man’s buttocks, ugh, just the thought was unbearable… Men are really strange. Yuwen Chu looks so upright and proper, yet he has such disgusting tastes…
Lost in thought, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. After a moment, she panicked, using all her strength to try to escape, exclaiming, “No, you’re not keeping your word. I’m really getting angry…” But where could she escape to? She was no match for Yuwen Chu. After a few rounds, she was defeated, left with no choice but to plead, “It hurts so much, please stop…”
