Chapter 52 He Didn’t Turn Off the Lights to Consummate the Marriage (Male and Female Protagonists)
Pei Huaijin didn't like her always talking about divorce, and his face froze when he heard that. But when he saw tears in her eyes, his stiff expression softened.
Then he looked from her furrowed brows to the corners of her eyes where tears were flowing, passed over the tip of her slightly red nose, and landed on her lips.
It was only a few steps from the door to her front, but Pei Huaijin had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Why was she angry? Why was she sad? Why did she suddenly bring up the idea of divorce? Although she had a tendency to throw tantrums, she wasn't unreasonable. She was acting so strangely tonight. Did someone say something unkind to her?
When I walked over to her, I found that the bed was full of her clothes.
Are you packing up to go back to your parents' home?
Pei Huaijin's gaze shifted from the messy clothes to her furry hair, and he raised his hand to stroke it gently: "Who bullied you?"
But as soon as his palm touched her hair, she tilted her head and dodged: "Don't touch me!"
She must have been very angry, her hands holding the clothes were clenched tightly, and her body was trembling slightly.
Things seemed to be more serious than he thought.
Pei Huaijin sat in front of her, pinching the little face that was turned away and biting her lip. He turned back and stared into her tearful eyes. He asked patiently, "What happened? Why are you asking for a divorce from me again?"
"It's not me who wants to divorce you, it's you who wants to divorce me!"
"When did I ever say I wanted to divorce you?"
"You didn't say it, but you thought so in your heart."
"Since I didn't say it, I didn't think about it." He stroked his red lips, which were bitten by her teeth, with his fingertips. "Who taught you to misunderstand me like this? Mother?"
Her tearful eyes were filled with grievance and shame. As she nodded, a tear rolled down and landed on the back of his hand. "My mother-in-law said that you are not innocent and have a grudge against me. She doesn't expect me to have children anymore and wants to take you a concubine..."
As he expected, it was his mother who was instigating their relationship behind the scenes.
"Don't listen to her." Except for the first tear, every tear that fell was gently wiped away by Pei Huaijin's fingertips. "I'm so happy to have you back, how could I dislike you?"
Her eyes were filled with tears. She wiped each tear and let it fall. "But why have you been coming home so late these days? Don't tell me you have so much official business to attend to."
Pei Huaijin then confessed truthfully: "I lied about this matter. I haven't been very busy with official duties recently."
It turned out that he lied to her.
Shen Youran was about to push away his hand that was wiping her tears when she heard him say, "You asked me about Qing Jian before, but I didn't dare tell you then. He's actually seriously injured and has been on the verge of death. I went to the clinic to see him after leaving the government office these past few days, so I came back a little late..."
Shen Youran's throat choked, and her eyes widened: "Qing saw him...how is he now?"
"The injury is now under control. He needs to rest well and will be fully recovered in about half a year."
"It takes so long?" She was such a fool. She had clearly seen him being stabbed again and again that day, yet after returning, she had believed Pei Huaijin's words, thinking that he was really fine. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's no use telling you. It will just make one more person worry."
"He was badly injured because he was trying to protect me. Even if I can't do anything, I can still go visit him with you."
"Luckily, he's recovered now. I won't go to the government office tomorrow. I'll take you to see him." Seeing that she had stopped crying, Pei Huaijin hugged her in his arms. "Don't take your mother's words to heart. I didn't mean to ignore you on purpose. Qing Jian has been with me for many years. When I didn't know whether he was alive or dead, I felt really bad. That's why I neglected you. It's my fault..."
Today Qing Jian finally got better. The stone in his heart finally dissipated, and his mood naturally became much lighter.
"If I had known about this earlier, I would definitely not have lost my temper with you today..." Shen Youran sobbed in his arms, feeling quite ashamed of her behavior just now.
Pei Huaijin looked at the scattered clothes on the bed and asked her, "If I hadn't explained it to you tonight, would you be packing these clothes to go back to your parents' home?"
"Well, if you agree to take a concubine, I will go back to my parents' home and never come back."
"I won't take a concubine, but after seeing Qing Jian tomorrow, I plan to send you back to your parents' home to live for a while."
"Why?"
"There's been a rebellion in Suizhou, and military supplies are running low. My superiors have sent me there to verify the grain and fodder that has been requisitioned but not used. I'll be away for a while. I'm worried about leaving you at home. Furthermore, I heard from Xiao Ci that the Dali Temple might frequently ask you to inquire about certain matters. If you do this too often, it'll inevitably arouse suspicion. Since my mother has mentioned taking a concubine, why not use this as an excuse to leave for a while? You'll feel more at ease living at the Shen family..."
"How long will it take you to come back?"
"At least half a month, at most, you'll be back before the New Year. I'll pick you up at my father-in-law's house then."
"So long?"
"This time it's really because of official business. I didn't lie to you."
Shen Youran finally came to terms with reality, but then he started to feel uneasy again: "Are you really not avoiding me?"
"no."
Shen Youran thought about how he hadn't kissed her much these days. To verify, she raised her face and said, "Then kiss me."
The bite marks on her lips were not so obvious anymore, and her lips were plump and bright red, like plump cherries. Pei Huaijin's throat tightened, and he lowered his head to kiss her.
I pressed against that softness and was about to deepen it, but she dodged me.
She raised one hand and put it to his lips: "Kiss your hand again."
Pei Huaijin didn't react for a moment, but still held the little hand and kissed it.
She handed over the other one and said, "Kiss this one too."
Pei Huaijin did as he was told.
The next moment, she took off her footwear, hugged her legs, and lifted up one of her white jade-like feet. Her five white and pink fingers moved: "Kiss my feet too!"
Pei Huaijin: “…”
"I've already washed," she urged him. "Hurry up, my legs are cramping."
Pei Huaijin only realized now that she asked him to kiss here and there because she was eager to verify that he really did not doubt her innocence.
Silly girl, you've been married for so long, don't you understand his personality? He's not someone who can remain calm under a woman's lap.
Grasping her ankle with his big hand, he kissed from the instep, moving down little by little, his hot and wet lips sliding across her ankle, along the direction of her panties, leaving a winding wet trail.
By the time Shen Youran realized that things were beginning to exceed her expectations, she had already been flipped over on the bed, and the man's hand had moved from her ankle to her knee.
His tiger's mouth was very powerful. Shen Youran tried to struggle, but couldn't get free.
"Wait," Shen Youran pressed his shoulders in a hurry, grasped his chin, which was covered with a layer of fine stubble, and forced him to raise his head. "Just kiss here, no further."
The frost on his brow had melted away, and his eyes, which were usually as deep and calm as an ancient well, were now tinged with desire, and the breath that sprayed on her skin was much hotter than before.
From Pei Huaijin's perspective, she was lying on layers of clothes, her eyes moist, shy and moved, like a newly blooming lotus about to blossom.
He let go of her temporarily, but his figure loomed over her again, carrying a hot breath and whispering in her ear: "Tell Dan Ruo Qinghe to come in and pack the clothes. I'm going to take a shower..."
Shen Youran's mind suddenly "boomed" and he understood the true meaning of his words.
"It's late today, how about... just a quick wash and skip the bath..."
Pei Huaijin supported himself on top of her, his eyes gleaming with a deep light, depicting her uneasy expression: "I'm going to be away for so long, so I'll give you a reassurance before I go. You won't have any more thoughts in the future..."
Shen Youran shrank her neck, her face flushed completely: "You want to...consummate your marriage with me?"
The back of his finger gently rubbed her steaming cheek, and Pei Huaijin asked with a low smile: "Are you willing?"
Her black eyelashes trembled slightly, and her watery eyes were timid, but seemed to be filled with anticipation, just like the shyness and agility of their wedding night when they didn't know each other's identities yet.
She was finally no longer the little girl who turned pale at the mention of marriage consummation. She just shyly pushed his shoulder and said in a voice as soft as smoke, "Then... go take a shower."
Pei Huaijin leaned over and kissed the little mouth that finally said yes: "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
He stood up and strode away. Shen Youran, holding a hot, almost burning face, slipped on her shoes and called Dan Ruo Qinghe to come in and help her tidy up the messy clothes on the bed. She was going back to her parents' home tomorrow.
The two maids looked at each other in bewilderment. "Young Madam, why are you suddenly going back to your parents' home?"
Shen Youran said: “My mother-in-law wants to take a concubine for my husband. I am angry, so naturally I have to go back to my parents’ home.”
Taking a concubine?
No wonder the young lady has been looking unhappy since she came back from Begonia Garden today.
But now...
"But you, Madam, don't seem to be very angry now." Dan Ruo looked at his daughter in confusion.
Qing He said, "Why aren't you angry? Look, our girl's face is red with anger."
Shen Youran covered her cheeks and deliberately put on a stern face to tease the two maids: "I'm just very angry. Help me pack a few more clothes. I want to go back to my parents' home and stay for at least half a month."
The two maids looked at each other and believed it: "Young Madam, the eldest Madam wants to take a concubine for you, what do you say?"
"He," Shen Youran thought for a moment and said vaguely, "He said he would personally send me back to my parents' home tomorrow."
Dan Ruo Qinghe took a deep breath: Does my husband really want to take a concubine?
Shen Youran looked at the two maids who were stunned by his intimidation, and the little gloom in his heart was swept away. After the two maids packed their clothes, he asked them to leave, and then secretly took out the treasures from the camphor wood box.
Although there was no one in the room, I still had an inexplicable feeling that I was doing something bad secretly.
The last time she watched this thing was before she got married, when her mother taught her to watch it with her sister.
It's been so long that she has almost forgotten.
I returned to bed with the book in my hand and opened it with a pious attitude. But I couldn't bear it after reading half of it and rolled around on the bed with the book in my arms.
About a quarter of an hour later, the partition door was pushed open.
Shen Youran got up from the bed and looked at him.
He still looked calm, but then there was a "bang" sound. It was because he closed the door too hastily that made such a loud noise.
Shen Youran's body also shook.
In a flash, the person who just entered the room was already in front of her.
Without waiting for her to speak, he leaned over and kissed her.
His hair had not been completely wrung out yet. When he held her shoulders and pressed her down, a few strands of hair slipped into her shoulder sockets. They were wet and cool, but the body against her was warm.
Like a ferocious beast that has finally captured its prey, it eats the prey bit by bit from top to bottom in a ferocious and anxious manner.
The last time he kissed her, she was covered in red marks, but she was drunk that time and had no memory of how it happened.
Today I finally experienced it with clarity of mind.
This feeling made her tremble all over. Shen Youran couldn't bear it anymore. She screamed, struggled and cried, pushed him with her hands, and messed up his hair...
She felt like she was floating in the water, with the heat surging, and was about to drown when he pulled her out. He kissed her wetly and swallowed her whimpers of discomfort.
In a daze, Pei Huaijin stood up unknowingly and looked down at her with his deep eyes.
Shen Youran let out a gentle cry.
She was ashamed of the sound she made and tried her best to hold it back, but her teeth could not clench tightly. She had no choice but to cover her mouth with her hands, and at the same time block her face which he was staring at.
Unfortunately, the next moment, he grabbed her wrists and pressed her hands against the pillow.
He didn't turn off the lights.
She had nowhere to hide.
She was completely speechless.
Outside the dormitory, Danruo and Qinghe were so anxious that they were about to cry.
Just now they saw clearly that after the young man took a shower, he walked very fast with a sullen face, and slammed the door after entering the bedroom. It was obvious that the young man was also angry.
The young mistress wants to take a concubine, and the young mistress wants to go back to her parents' home. They must be having an unpleasant quarrel in the room.
Sure enough, not long after the young master entered, they heard the young lady's crying.
It's like crying, but not quite like that.
But she should be crying.
It can't be that they are consummating the marriage?
They only knew a little about matters between men and women, and they still remembered the misunderstanding that happened during the last "marriage consummation".
That time, the maid also said that the young lady was crying so hard that she thought she had consummated her marriage with her husband. But in fact, it was not the case. The young lady was just crying.
I think it's the same this time. The young lady is crying so hard, she is definitely not consummating the marriage.
The two maids were so anxious that they wanted to go in and comfort their girl, but they didn't dare to intrude.
The crying didn't stop. Dan Ruo was so anxious that her teeth were about to bleed. "Why is the young lady crying all the time? Did the young master scold her?"
Qing He was so anxious that she didn't know what to do: "I didn't hear the young master's voice, so he shouldn't have scolded the young lady."
Just as I was getting extremely anxious, I heard other noises coming from inside.
Crisp, continuous...slapping sounds.
The young master... attacked the young lady?
Danruo couldn't stay any longer, so she picked up her skirt and ran out, stepping on the snow on the ground, all the way to Ciyouyuan, found Tinglan, and asked her to go in and tell her that she wanted to see the Seventh Young Master's wife, the sooner the better.
Fortunately, Shen Yunshu was still awake at this hour. She quickly came out of the bedroom wearing a crane cloak and asked her what had happened.
Dan Ruo hurriedly explained the reason to her: "Seventh Young Madam, it's bad. After the master came back tonight, he had an unpleasant quarrel with the eldest young madam. We just heard that the master actually hit the eldest young madam. He is beating someone in the room right now. Please go and save the eldest young madam..."
