Chapter 526 Spoiled and Willful Wife VS Cowardly and Fearful Husband 18

As night deepened, candlelight was lit throughout the mansion.

Jun Yu stood under the corridor, holding a piece of mutton-fat jade in his hand.

He stroked the delicate patterns on the jade pendant, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily, his mind preoccupied with other thoughts.

As the moonlight climbed up the carved window lattice, Junyu strode towards the bedroom.

As usual, he gently pushed open the door, but his heart inexplicably raced.

Soft noises came from inside the room; the maids were helping Jiang Zhiyi with her washing and grooming.

She wore a plain nightgown, her dark hair loosely tied up, with a few stray strands falling across her cheeks, adding to her delicate beauty.

Junyu stepped into the room.

Before long, the maids all left, leaving only the two of them.

A faint fragrance filled the room, and the flickering candlelight cast long shadows of the two people.

Jiang Zhiyi ignored him.

"This calming soup, drink it while it's hot." Jun Yu placed the bowl on the low table, his sleeve brushing against it, carrying a faint scent of sandalwood.

"I don't want to drink." Jiang Zhiyi turned her face away, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of him holding a mutton-fat jade pendant.

The pendant was carved in the shape of a carp, just like the design she had casually mentioned half a month ago.

"Still angry?" Jun Yu suddenly leaned over and stuffed the jade pendant into her hand. "Take a look and see if you like it. If you're not satisfied, have them redo it."

Jiang Zhiyi looked down.

The jade pendant was quite cute; it was a plump koi fish, exactly the same as what she wanted.

She took the red string and tied it to the jade pendant.

Jun Yu sat down beside her and suddenly leaned closer. Jiang Zhiyi tried to back away, but he pulled her directly into his arms.

She looked up at him, her breathing quickening, and her cheeks flushed. "What are you doing?"

"You wronged me in broad daylight and even hit me." Jun Yu's voice was deep as he reached out and touched her cheek.

Jiang Zhiyi didn't expect him to bring this up again, and frowned, asking, "So what do you want?"

“I’m not here to blame you…” His thumb brushed against her lips, and Jiang Zhiyi frowned, wanting to turn her head away, but he held her face firmly in his hands. “We’ve been married for a long time, and it’s time to talk things out.”

“I know you’ve suffered these past few days.” Junyu’s eyes were gentle. “I respect your wishes and have never forced you, but I don’t want you to misunderstand… It’s not that I don’t want to touch you, but I’m afraid of being abrupt and that you might not like it… I’ve never been with anyone else.”

He paused, his gaze shifting downwards to her slightly heaving chest. "I don't blame you for your actions today. It was my oversight that made you overthink things."

Jiang Zhiyi didn't expect him to turn around and explain to her, but some of his words sounded a bit off to her, and she vaguely sensed danger.

She tried to get up and leave, but he held her even tighter.

Junyu picked her up and strode toward the bed.

As the soft mattress sank in, Jiang Zhiyi finally saw the turbulent emotions surging in his eyes, like a whirlpool rising from a deep pool, threatening to engulf her entirely.

"Today...we will clear up all the misunderstandings and make up for the missed wedding night."

He rolled over and covered her.

His lips landed on her neck, and his hand reached for the ties of her ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

Jiang Zhiyi trembled, only then realizing what he was about to do. She instinctively tried to push him away, but he pressed her down onto the pillow.

The curtains fluttered gently with the movement...

Jiang Zhiyi closed her eyes in embarrassment, instinctively trying to cover herself with her hands.

Tonight, I'm afraid I can't escape it.

After all, they've been married for so long, what's meant to happen will happen...

Junyu grasped her wrist, his voice filled with suppressed desire: "Be good, don't hide, let me take a good look."

Her nightgown slipped down, exposing her snow-white skin to the air, which shimmered softly in the candlelight.

Jun Yu's Adam's apple bobbed as he leaned down to kiss her forehead, eyebrows, eyes, and the tip of her nose, finally landing on her lips.

Gradually, the kiss became less gentle and more intense, filled with burning desire.

Jiang Zhiyi felt as if she were in a sea of ​​fire, her limbs were weak, and she could only passively endure Jun Yu's kisses and caresses.

She couldn't help but let out a soft hum, which only made things more uncontrollable.

Junyu stopped, lowered his head to kiss away her tears, and gently comforted her, "Bear with it, it won't hurt for a while."

He kissed her gently, his hands softly stroking her back to comfort her.

She unconsciously wrapped her arms around Junyu's neck.

The room was filled with the warmth of spring, with soft moans and gasps mingling, the curtains swaying, and the candlelight flickering.

A night of passionate lovemaking.
