Wan Ge waited for quite a while in the new room before finally hearing the door open. No one dared to disturb Nan Jin Chu's wedding night, so it was very quiet.

The maidservant obediently bowed and withdrew, and the room became quiet again, with only the sound of the wedding candles audible.

Nan Jinchu stood in front of her and slowly said, "What happened between him and me is ultimately none of your business. From now on, I will give you all the stewards of the royal palace, and you will be my only queen. As long as you don't cause trouble, power, status, wealth and glory will all be yours."

After he finished speaking, the other person seemed to turn around and leave the outer room. Wan Ge immediately put down her fan and grabbed his wrist: "What do you mean, my husband?"

When Nan Jinchu looked down, he saw the other person's clear and beautiful eyes, which seemed to hold a hint of grievance and confusion, looking at him with a rather pitiful expression.

"You don't need to know. You can rest now. I'll sleep in the outer room. You should get some rest." After saying that, Nan Jinchu flicked her sleeves and went straight to the outer room.

He could have easily left, but leaving his bride alone on their wedding night would make her the laughingstock of the whole city the next day.

Since he promised her power, status, wealth, and riches, we can't let her lose face, can we?

Wan Ge was a little confused. What did the other party mean and what did they want to do?

And he just doesn't like her? They're already married and now this happens.

…

Nan Jinchu had just lain down on the couch in the outer room when she suddenly felt someone sit down beside her. Then she heard her aggrieved voice: "Did I do something wrong? Did I annoy my husband?"

Nan Jinchu finally managed to suppress the strange feeling in her heart. The sweet fragrance of her body and her soft words filled her nostrils. She could imagine the other person saying such a pitiful thing at this moment with her eyes closed.

But why did she say that? It's as if she likes him, when she only likes Jiang Shuyan? He was actually a little surprised that the other party hadn't eloped.

"I know that the person you love is not me, but I don't care. You just need to do your duty as a queen."

The next second, Wan Ge placed his hand on her face and softly replied, "How did you know, my husband, that I don't like you? What if I did like you?"

The other person's words were a bit shocking. Nan Jinchu opened her eyes instantly and looked at the other person's beautiful eyes with seriousness.

"You like me?" Nan Jinchu laughed immediately after saying that. What was she thinking? How could she possibly like her? Weren't she and Jiang Shuyan deeply in love?

Wan Ge didn't speak, but gently closed her eyes and kissed him.

The moment the other person kissed her, Nan Jinchu felt her heart pounding incredibly fast. Without saying a word, she instantly picked him up and carried him back to the bed.

Yes, she is his wife no matter what, and it is perfectly reasonable for him to do what a husband and wife should do, especially since she took the initiative.

He hadn't expected this aspect at all, but now that things have turned out this way, he can think about it later.

…

…

The next morning, before Wan Ge had even woken up, the nanny took away the handkerchief.

Seeing the nanny's delighted expression, Nan Jinchu dismissed her and stayed in the room to wait for Wan Ge to wake up.

The room was now empty except for the two of them. Nan Jinchu returned to the bedside, sat down, and looked down at the other person's peaceful sleeping face.

She is indeed quite beautiful, with delicate features and beautiful eyebrows. She doesn't have an aggressive look, but one glance is enough to make your heart flutter.

Nan Jinchu originally didn't want to get too entangled with her. The reason he made her his wife was nothing more than revenge and...

"Does he really like you?" Nan Jinchu remained skeptical.

Regardless of whether Jiang Shuyan truly loved her or not, Wan Ge is now his wife.

Nan Jinchu's gaze fell on the marks on her neck, and he instantly remembered what had happened between the two of them last night.

Although looking back now, Nan Jinchu feels that she was a bit impulsive, they are husband and wife, so it is normal for them to do such things. What's wrong with that?

However, the feeling of being somewhat out of control yesterday made him a little flustered.

…

When Wan Ge woke up, several maids were waiting by her side, all preparing to help her wash and dress. She didn't know how long they had been waiting.

"What time is it now?" Wan Ge felt sore all over. Nan Jin Chu had no memory and no experience. It was his first time trying something like this, so he was inevitably a bit reckless.

This caused Wan Ge to be so tired that she fell asleep and has been sleeping ever since.

The old nanny beside her said slowly, "Your Highness, it is already noon."

Wan Ge's expression changed slightly: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"The prince said not to disturb the empress's rest." The nanny's face was full of smiles.

Wan Ge got up immediately. Just as she finished washing up, there was a commotion at the door, and several maids carrying food entered the room.

Nan Jinchu followed her in and, seeing that Wan Ge had woken up, said, "I have already sent someone to inform Father and Mother. We don't need to rush. We can go over after lunch."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wan Ge bowed obediently and replied.

Nan Jinchu pulled him into her arms, lowered her head and said, "I still prefer the way you called me last night."

Wan Ge's cheeks flushed instantly, and she said softly, "Husband...husband."
