When the Wei family fell into decline, after the eldest sister found a new, high-ranking match, the unloved Yinluan was forced to take over her and the Wei family's engagement to maintain appea...
Chapter 66 Chapter 66 "Comfortable and Satisfactory..."
Her fingers were still resting on the indentation of his abdominal muscles, and her wrist was firmly grasped by him, leaving her in a dilemma.
When he asked this, Zhu Yinluan felt even more blushing, and her cheeks turned completely red to the point of burning.
How could Shen Jingzhan ask her like this?
No, what is he saying?
What do you mean she is satisfied with the touch?
He regarded her as such, but who did he regard himself as?
Listening to it like this, it's like...the patrons and girls in a brothel.
As for who is the patron and who is the girl.
It seemed that the identities of the two had been reversed. Zhu Yinluan felt that she was a benefactor, while Shen Jingzhan was...
This kind of thinking is really not good. How can she compare the son of a marquis's mansion and the Minister of the Central Secretariat of one of the three ministries to that thing?
This is wrong. If Shen Jingzhan guessed it, he would probably be angry with her.
Zhu Yinluan tried to pull her hand back by herself, but Shen Jingzhan didn't let go. His palm was too big, and she couldn't break free even after applying some force.
Zhu Yinluan didn't consider herself a weak person, but she was always helpless when trapped in Shen Jingzhan's hands.
He was clearly still breathing, but his waist and abdomen did not move significantly, so her hand was stuck in the depression between his abdominal muscles.
Zhu Yinluan had no choice but to speak, "You...husband, let me go."
In a hurry, she seemed to have forgotten to call Shen Jingzhan husband, but fortunately she reacted in time.
But there was something even more embarrassing right now, because the distance between them was too close. He was already pressing against her face, rubbing her cheek, and now even if they were moving a little further away to talk, they were still very close.
So, after she opened her mouth, her lips vaguely touched the man's thin lips, as if she was asking for a kiss from him.
Even though they didn't kiss completely, Zhu Yinluan could already feel the man's breath lingering on her face, giving her the illusion that they had already kissed and were now waiting to take a breath and rest.
"Luan'er hasn't answered me yet. Are you satisfied?"
Knowing clearly that she just didn't speak and changed the subject, even if she couldn't answer, why did Shen Jingzhan keep asking?
She pursed her lips and lowered her eyelashes. Not only her expression, but even her voice was evasive. "...Don't ask me this."
"Don't ask that..." The man also paused briefly as she spoke.
Then he asked again, "Does Luan'er like it?"
Okay, instead of asking people whether they are satisfied or not, he asks whether they like it or not. What’s the difference?
Zhu Yinluan, "...I..."
This is not as good as the previous one.
She was too thin-skinned and still refused to answer, then changed the subject.
"Husband, it's late at night. It's good for our health if we rest early. Besides, aren't you very tired today?"
Shen Jingzhan said it was not bad, "The secretary was busy a few days ago, and now I have some free time."
"I can come back and have dinner with Luan'er these days."
Commandant Yao's affairs have not been completely dealt with yet, and Shen Jingzhan actually has time?
She always felt that it was not the case.
If they had time, the Shen family's eldest sons and nephews would have definitely told them at the dinner table. Even if they didn't mention it face to face at the dinner table, the relatives, wives and attendants who were following them would definitely get some news.
She didn't hear any rumors from her sisters-in-law and younger generations today.
Therefore, she concluded that Shen Jingzhan was most likely still busy.
Everyone below is busy, and he, being an official at a higher position, will only be busier.
After thinking about it, isn't it strange that Shen Jingzhan insisted on coming back for dinner?
The distance from the palace to the Shen family is still quite far, and it is busy running back and forth.
Zhu Yinluan's mind flashed with Princess Feng'an's face. Thinking of what happened when she came back from the main hall, Princess Feng'an wanted to keep her, but Shen Jingzhan would not let her.
Shen Jingzhan didn't seem to want her to say a word to Princess Feng'an. When she asked him about what happened in the past, he vaguely changed the subject.
He came back to have dinner with her. Did it mean that he didn't want her to have contact with or meet Princess Feng'an?
This thought suddenly popped up in Zhu Yinluan's mind.
Then came her curiosity. Was Shen Jingzhan hiding something? There seemed to be a big feud between him and Princess Feng'an. Even Old Lady Shen, Madam Shen, and Lord Shen were in awe of Princess Feng'an. Only Shen Jingzhan...
Speaking of Princess Feng'an's fear of Shen Jingzhan, she remembered that at the dinner table earlier, several masters and ladies mentioned... the matter of Shen Jiaxian, and their attitude towards Shen Jingzhan was also quite fearful. They were even so afraid that they had to consider their words while looking at Shen Jingzhan's face.
Speaking of Shen Jiaxian from the second house, she still can't remember what happened.
At that time, I was distracted by the dream and some other things happened, so I didn't have time to ask.
So what did Shen Jiaxian do wrong?
"Luan'er is distracted. It seems that she is not satisfied and doesn't like it anymore."
Zhu Yinluan realized what was happening and immediately came back to her senses, "No..."
The man's expression became lonely, and his handsome face was filled with loneliness and rare hurt.
Yes... a look of hurt.
At this time, he also let go of her hand.
He also took her hand out.
All the beauty stopped at this moment. Although the atmosphere did not completely dissipate, there was a moment of dead silence.
Zhu Yinluan was completely stunned.
She looked at the man's slightly tense profile, wondering uncertainly if Shen Jingzhan was angry.
Will he get angry too?
It shouldn't be, right? Shen Jingzhan has always been gentle and kind, how could he be angry? She had never seen him angry before, and it was hard for her to imagine Shen Jingzhan being angry, not to mention the cold and serious look of Shen Jingzhan that Shen Kouyu had once said.
She didn't believe it, so her first reaction was doubt.
But...looking at the way Shen Jingzhan turned his face away, he seemed to be angry.
The man's appearance was originally delicate and handsome. When his face was turned away, only his profile could be seen, which made people feel that he had a very good outline, excellent bone structure, a high nose bridge, and long eyelashes.
Because he didn't look at her, his face was turned away, and his eyes were also elsewhere. At this moment, he looked indeed noble and cold.
But because he was "bullied", his clothes were open and messy, revealing his cold and beautiful collarbone, which looked quite enchanting.
His brows seemed to be slightly furrowed, and Zhu Yinluan was in his arms, so he couldn't see clearly.
First, she wondered if Shen Jingzhan was angry, but then she couldn't help but be attracted by his face.
It was the first time that Zhu Yinluan had seen such a situation.
Shen Jingzhan didn't seem angry, but more like he was waiting for her to find out and then coax him.
If he was really angry, he would have stormed out long ago, causing great embarrassment, right?
But how could she coax him?
She simply can't.
First of all, Shen Jingzhan was a man, and she had come into contact with very few men. Secondly...she really didn't know how to coax him, and it seemed that she had never coaxed anyone before.
She was always kind to others and seldom had disputes. Even when she did, it was usually the other party who was being aggressive and scolding her. For example, when she was in the Zhu family and the Wei family, Madam Zhu and Mrs. Pang would boss her around. Another example was her eldest sister Zhu Chentan, who was very aggressive and powerful.
Usually, it is useless to coax her, so she can only listen silently and let her scold to her satisfaction, and then everything will be over.
All her experiences with arguments are here.
But she was not a dull person. She naturally felt that if she ignored Shen Jingzhan, it might not work. Not to mention whether it would work or not, it might even backfire, so she decided not to do that.
He really looked like he wanted her to coax him.
After much thought, Zhu Yinluan finally... took action.
The moment she made the move, the man who was watching her movements naturally noticed it out of the corner of his eye.
But Shen Jingzhan didn't expect that Zhu Yinluan actually raised her hand to straighten his messy shirt, and she straightened it up very carefully, even smoothing the edge of his collar.
Seeing this, Shen Jingzhan laughed angrily.
Even though the laughter was very faint, in the dead of night, Zhu Yinluan naturally heard it. Not only did she hear it, she had not yet taken her hand away, and it was still placed on the man's heart. How could she not feel the ups and downs of the man's emotions?
Her eyelashes raised in an instant and she looked towards Shen Jingzhan.
The scowl on the man's face was even angrier than before.
Zhu Yinluan, "......"
Help him to pull his clothes together, is he still angry?
But Zhu Yinluan soon reacted.
The real reason why Shen Jingzhan was angry was not because of her distraction, but because she "touched" him and didn't say what he wanted to hear.
Since he has already expressed that he wants her to touch him, then wouldn't her action of pulling his clothes up be "adding fuel to the fire"?
But now it's all ready...
Are you going to break it up again?
Zhu Yinluan waited for a long time, she was struggling between the two.
She bit her lips and looked at the man who was clearly angry.
Should I ignore it? Anyway, she has already won over Shen Jingzhan's clothes.
If she ignored him on the bed at this moment and told him to rest for the second time, Shen Jingzhan should not be angry with her, right?
After all, he has always had a good temper.
Even if she is unhappy now, she will not show her displeasure in front of others tomorrow and let everyone notice anything.
Therefore, even if she turned over and fell asleep, she would not have any worries, all because she believed that Shen Jingzhan would not bully her.
Even if she had no worries, Zhu Yinluan simply couldn't let go.
She couldn't be fearless just because Shen Jingzhan was nice to her, as that would be considered "bullying" him.
It had been stated before that they wanted to have children and live a good life together, so she couldn't just turn her back and ignore him.
What's more, this is the first time?
This was the first time that Shen Jingzhan showed such a "fresh" expression. Was he already revealing his "true nature" to her?
Therefore, Zhu Yinluan finally chose not to turn her back and ignore him, letting him rest and stop making trouble.
She adjusted her body slightly and continued to nestle in his arms, closer to him than before.
As she approached, the anger on the man's face seemed to subside - his brows relaxed slightly.
Zhu Yinluan reached out her hand, but this time she didn't do it to tidy up Shen Jingzhan's clothes, but to directly push through his collar and open them.
The arc is very small, but it is a little messier than before.
Then she took her hand away again.
Just like that, no movement.
Shen Jingzhan waited for a while, but she still didn't move, just looking at him, looking at the place where he was torn apart by her.
It's not even a stretch, in Shen Jingzhan's opinion.
She just slightly opened his shirt, how could it be said to have been ripped off?
It would be better if he moved himself, or turned over, and accidentally messed up his clothes and tore them open.
But Shen Jingzhan, who knew her nature, knew very well that being able to retreat in order to advance and make her reach out, it was already very good to achieve this step.
It is not advisable to be radical. The more it comes to this point, the more we should "take it slow".
Chen Jingzhan moved his eyes, first to her distracted and nervous little face, and then to the opening of his shirt.
He asked her, "Luan'er, what are you doing?"
"Are you worried that if the collar is closed too tightly, I will be unable to breathe?"
Zhu Yinluan, "......"
Zhu Yinluan couldn't tell whether Shen Jingzhan said this on purpose or because the arc she pulled his clothes was too small and he didn't understand what she meant.
After thinking about it, she finally made another move, reaching out to pull open Shen Jingzhan's clothes again. Her evil expression was even more obvious than before.
This time he used more force than before, directly exposing part of Shen Jingzhan's chest.
Is the meaning obvious enough?
Zhu Yinluan was thinking.
But if you ask her what it means specifically, she herself can't figure it out.
Her body was unstable. If she hinted too much, what would happen if Shen Jingzhan really wanted to have sex with her?
Although she herself was also tempted and really wanted to have sex with Shen Jingzhan, she couldn't do it recklessly.
The more she enjoyed the pleasure of having sex with him, the more she had to restrain herself.
Because that feeling is so hard to control, after the mind is empty, the body becomes extremely weak, and the spring water rushing through the Chunshan Gate is enough to make people "collapse".
She felt that she couldn't bear being pregnant. If something really went wrong and she called the imperial physician over, she would really be called a vixen.
Not to mention that others were talking behind her back, she herself was ashamed.
Sex is not always a one-person pleasure. Shen Jingzhan should feel the same as her, right? Otherwise, it is impossible that he would dirty her waist and knees every time.
And Shen Jingzhan is very restrained, he will take care of her feelings.
Therefore, Zhu Yinluan felt that he should also know his limits.
She was gradually beginning to trust him, even going so far as to coax him without being able to completely "guarantee" her own "safety".
"Why are you distracted again and not talking?" The man's tone was full of helplessness.
Zhu Yinluan quickly calmed herself down, her eyes wandering around before she looked up.
In the eyes of the man, he had completely looked at him.
Zhu Yinluan cleared her throat and said, "I...I'm not."
The man who knew the answer asked calmly, "If that's not the case, then what is it?"
"I...I want to..."
He waited patiently, even reaching out to push her messy black hair back, then picking up the ends of her hair and twisting them around his fingertips.
The man's nonchalant look was also somewhat alluring.
Zhu Yinluan's gaze remained on his face.
Perhaps she was seduced by him, so she was no longer so reserved when speaking, "I wanted to say, it's very comfortable... No."
Not fully focused, her words stuttered a little, Zhu Yinluan quickly corrected herself, "No... I meant satisfied. I was just... very satisfied."
She gave him feedback.
This sounds like the feedback he should want and like.
But there was a "comfortable" mistake. Zhu Yinluan didn't want Shen Jingzhan to notice it, but he noticed it.
Even at the moment when she said something wrong, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked her, "Comfortable?"
"So Luan'er is satisfied and comfortable, then why did you hide it from me?"
Zhu Yinluan, “…” wanted to say no, but was afraid that the man she had finally coaxed would be “stubborn” with her at this time.
But if she were to respond, Zhu Yinluan didn't know what to say, so she simply kept silent, since her face was already red.
"Huh? Why isn't Luan'er talking?" He seemed not to understand and insisted on asking.
Not only did he ask, he even lowered his head to look at her, leaned over to put his forehead against hers, and spoke to her with their noses touching.
The dissipated beauty revives in the "confrontation" of these three or two sentences.
Zhu Yinluan felt that the atmosphere was getting hot again.
His breath was clearly refreshing, but when it hit her face, it felt incredibly strong.
Warm...warming up little by little, she felt very hot.
So my mouth started to feel dry again.
Zhu Yinluan, "......"
"I...what do you want me to say to you?" She really didn't know what to say, so she simply asked Shen Jingzhan.
What on earth does he want to hear?
"I want to know what Luan'er means by comfort and satisfaction?"
What is it? Zhu Yinluan slightly turned her face away, and Shen Jingzhan looked at her trembling eyelashes and her delicate cheeks.
Even in the dim light in the room, her skin still looks smooth and translucent, and even exudes a faint fragrance.
The spices in the ointment he gave her were not that strong, but even if they could penetrate through the skin, they would be very effective when combined with burning incense.
Ever since she became pregnant, he had put away the spice and no longer gave it to her.
Now her emotions were not due to the fragrance, but were a real reaction.
The smile in the man's eyes deepened.
Zhu Yinluan shook her head, "No, nothing."
"How can there be nothing?" he continued to ask.
Zhu Yinluan saw that he was probably coaxed by her, so she asked, "Aren't you sleepy, husband?"
"Not really sleepy." Shen Jingzhan said, "I like listening to Luan'er talk."
He said this again.
"What?" She decided to play deaf and dumb to the end.
Anyway, he was asking knowingly, so why couldn't she?
"Tell me if Luan Er feels comfortable when we are intimate, and if she is satisfied when she touches me."
Zhu Yinluan, "......"
It was as direct as ever, both within her expectations and beyond her expectations.
"So, is this what Luan'er meant by comfortable and satisfied?" He was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
Zhu Yinluan mustered up her courage and said, "...Can I not reply?"
If she really wanted to express that meaning clearly, she still couldn't do it, but if she changed the subject and took a break, Shen Jingzhan might not let it go.
Because it happened twice already.
He pulled back both times, and in the last sentence he said that he liked listening to her talk.
Zhu Yinluan's heart moved slightly and there was a slight surge of heat.
"Okay." He smiled, "Then can I change the question?"
Change the question?
Zhu Yinluan nodded in agreement with trepidation.
Shen Jingzhan began to ask, this time his question was, "Can I kiss Luan'er?"
Zhu Yinluan, "?"
Did he need to ask her specifically before kissing her? Did Shen Jingzhan ask this before?
It seems...it seems that there is.
Zhu Yinluan thought back to the time before, and remembered that every time Shen Jingzhan wanted to take a step further, he would pay special attention to and observe her reaction.
See if she can accept it and take it a step further without being averse.
"May I?"
But Zhu Yinluan still found it magical. She was carrying his child in her belly for almost three months, but before he could get intimate with her, he still had to ask, "Can I kiss you?"
If you say no, what will happen to Shen Jingzhan?
Will he be as angry as before, and then ignore her, turn his face away, be angry with her and wait for her to coax him?
Zhu Yinluan suddenly wanted to do this, but when she was about to open her mouth, she felt that this... wasn't a good idea.
If she did so, wouldn't she be the same as Shen Jingzhan?
Like Shen Jingzhan?
This was Zhu Yinluan’s first thought.
Yes, it was almost the same as Shen Jingzhan. She often saw Shen Jingzhan choking people or teasing her on purpose.
Sometimes she could clearly sense that Shen Jingzhan was teasing her on purpose, and it was not an illusion.
Invisibly, she actually looked a bit like Shen Jingzhan.
Does this mean that people get redder when they are around good people and blacker when they are around bad people?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yinluan's thoughts came to a complete halt.
"Why is Luan'er so distracted today?" He clicked his tongue, loosened the long hair wrapped around his fingertips, and turned to pinch the tip of her nose.
"I...I'm just a little sleepy, that's why I'm like this. My husband, didn't you hear the imperial physician say that pregnant women always tend to be sleepier?"
She lied.
It was still possible to tell whether Shen Jingzhan was tired or not.
The man smiled and said, "Since Luan'er is sleepy, why don't we kiss for a while and then take a rest."
Zhu Yinluan: “.......” What are you talking about.
You still have to kiss for a while, or even just a kiss.
Since he didn't care about it, Zhu Yinluan had no reason to stay, so she simply asked Shen Jingzhan, "If I say you can't kiss me, what will your husband do?"
The man hissed and pretended to think, "Then I'll ask Luan'er to kiss me for a while, okay?"
Ask her?
"How are you going to ask me?" she asked.
"Should I massage Luan'er's shoulders and legs?" he asked again.
So that's how it is.
Zhu Yinluan asked again, "What if you can't massage shoulders and pound legs?"
Unconsciously, she fell into the trap set by the old fox.
"If this is not possible, then what does Luan'er want?"
Not only did he ask her what she wanted, Shen Jingzhan also listed the things he had, "Gold, silver, wealth, power and status, what does Luan'er want?"
The man asked her in a serious and thoughtful manner, which made Zhu Yinluan, who came to her senses after being stunned for a moment, unable to control her laughter.
Because he was thinking too seriously, and seemed like a silly and simple-minded person.
So, she couldn't help but smile.
Seeing her smile, the man raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Luan'er smiled, so is this accurate or not?"
Zhu Yinluan asked him back, "As an official appointed by the court, a minister of the second or third rank, how can you use money and power to bribe people? How is this different from those corrupt officials?"
She was tricked by him into talking more.
"Yes." The man nodded. "Young Madam is right. I have bad intentions and am not worthy of being an official."
Why is he like this? He said something funny again.
Zhu Yinluan originally thought that Shen Jingzhan would beg for mercy, but she didn't expect that he would actually say that.
Zhu Yinluan also started to act in cooperation with him, "My mother-in-law told me before that my husband is upright and honest, but I never thought that you would actually... actually bribe me."
"If you do this, aren't you betraying your mother-in-law's trust?"
"I was bewitched. I won't dare to do it again next time." Shen Jingzhan pretended to listen to the lecture silently, very seriously.
It's rare to see him like this.
Since the performance has come to this point, Zhu Yinluan deliberately asked, "What did you say? There will be a next time?"
"No, there won't be a next time." Shen Jingzhan raised his hand and made a swearing gesture, "God is my witness, I will listen to your teachings and always keep them in mind."
Zhu Yinluan was also serious, like a female teacher, "Yes."
"That's great."
"Well, let's... take a break." She struck while the iron was hot and deliberately turned over.
But she didn't expect that Shen Jingzhan would pinch her waist and said, "I'm so obedient, won't Luan'er praise me?"
The two looked at each other. Zhu Yinluan knew what he wanted, but he was still pretending to be stupid. She praised him, "You are a teachable boy. You can correct your mistakes. Your future as the Secretary of State must be limitless."
After saying that, she really turned around to rest, but unexpectedly the man pinched her cheek, looked at her little face for a while, and then kissed her directly.
He didn't attack directly, but after pressing his thin lips against her cherry lips, he kissed her from time to time.
After tossing and turning outside for a long time, Shen Jingzhan noticed the subtle response in his arms. Even though he realized that it was okay, he still paused and looked at her.
The two people's eyes met invisibly in the heat. Zhu Yinluan looked into the man's deep and mysterious eyes, and trembled slightly, like a peony flower hit by rain.
After watching for a while, Shen Jingzhan continued.
This time he directly pried open Zhu Yinluan's teeth, swept across her pearly teeth, found her fragrance and softness hiding inside, and hooked her out to play.
Zhu Yinluan tilted her head back invisibly during the kiss, so he kissed her deeply. Afraid that she would feel uncomfortable with her neck tilted back, Shen Jingzhan rushed back and stroked the back of her neck and the back of her head with his big hand.
The other hand protected her waist.
The sounds of their kissing and breathing could be heard intermittently in the curtain, making one's ears red and one's heart beat fast.
Although Zhu Yinluan had learned to breathe, she still felt that she couldn't bear it. This kiss was too lingering.
She enjoyed kissing Shen Jingzhan, and felt pleasure when kissing him, so she responded to him.
Her response made his pursuit more intense, and during the short kiss, Zhu Yinluan felt that she was about to be swallowed by Shen Jingzhan.
It was not until she felt that his danger was increasing that Zhu Yinluan felt that she could not go on.
She opened her lips and pulled back, putting some distance between herself and Shen Jingzhan.
But even though the distance between the two of them was widened, there was still a thread of ambiguity between them, making it seem even more ambiguous.
What's more, there was moisture on his lips, and the air between them was unsteady.
"......"
