Chapter 178 Chunyu Han's Inner Knot
He seemed tireless, completely absorbed in the rapid melody, utterly captivated.
Yu Nian raised her hand and pressed the person who had just given up onto her shoulder.
Chunyu Han's nose touched the undulating artery and rubbed against it.
Was it because I did something wrong?
A soft, trembling sob escaped from Yu Nian's lips.
Not good? Don't make it too good, it'll be too good for her to bear.
"My husband, I'm tired..."
Chunyu Han looked up, kissed away the tear stains at the corner of Yu Nian's eyes, and gently coaxed her with satisfaction. Her delicate and beautiful appearance made him unable to resist wanting her again.
Suppressing the tender feelings in his heart, Chunyu Han got up, picked up Yu Nian, and took her to wash up.
He wished he could possess her forever, but he also felt sorry for her. If he bullied her too much, she would cry.
"Then take this out first."
At first, Yu Nian didn't think the golden ring was anything special.
It wasn't until the bell rang more urgently that he began to bully her more cruelly that she suddenly realized what was happening.
"You don't like it? I think you liked it just now too."
Chunyu Han carefully bent down and placed the person into the warm water, looking down at Yu Nian's body.
Every mark belongs to him.
"I didn't say I didn't like it."
Yu Nian squinted slightly, having lost count of how many times their lovemaking had ended.
She was a little tired, and she was afraid that if the bell rang, someone would get excited again, and she really couldn't stand it.
Lying back down on the bed, Yu Nian nestled in Chunyu Han's arms.
She thought that Chunyu Han had always been aloof and might not know where to start, but she always felt that Chunyu Han wasn't that inexperienced.
Yu Nian gently pinched Chunyu Han's cheek with her jade-like hand and spoke softly.
"Tell me the truth, why are you so good at this?"
Hearing Yu Nian ask this question, Chunyu Han felt that she must be quite satisfied with tonight.
Chunyu Han lowered his head, gently kissed her forehead, and chuckled softly.
"Your secret martial arts manual is actually...not bad."
Yu Nian: ...
Having tasted the sweetness of success, the person took three more days off.
The heavy burden of official duties once again weighed on Prime Minister Yu's shoulders.
In addition, Chunyu Han granted Canghai a three-day leave. Last night, no one disturbed him, thanks in no small part to Canghai's efforts in blocking the door of the side room.
Winter is approaching and the end of the year is just around the corner.
A lot of fabric was sent from the Jiangnan textile factory to the capital, and Yu Nian selected several bolts to make winter clothes.
Among them was a batch of moon-white fabric with a subtle bird pattern that felt exceptionally good to the touch. For some reason, when she glanced at it, she thought that Chunyu Han would look good in this color, so she kept it.
The year-end was already a busy time, and with the Xiongnu on the border making trouble, the court was even busier, and Chunyu Han always returned very late.
Because of the physical intimacy, Yu Nian's system was upgraded, allowing her to share life with Chunyu Han and no longer need to complete life-extending tasks, which was a relief for her.
Sang Tian came to check Yu Nian's pulse. Yu Nian grabbed a handful of melon seeds for her and, as usual, asked Sang Tian to leave a few words for her.
But today, Sangtian got up and prepared to go back to the Eastern Depot.
"I'm sorry, Madam, Haiyan is injured. I need to go back and change his dressing."
Yu Nian's brow twitched. How did Hai Yan get injured again out of nowhere?
Is it serious?
"It was the adults who punished him with a whip, thankfully."
Sang Tian didn't think it was a big deal. He had never seen Hai Yan act so delicate when she was being tortured before. Now it seemed like it was just a minor thing like cutting her finger, and he had to go to the pharmacy to find her.
"Yes, the master's temper gets really bad in winter, so please be careful, madam."
Before leaving, Sang Tian revealed something to Yu Nian.
Even if Sang Tian didn't say anything, Yu Nian felt that Chunyu Han had been wearing a long face lately, and no one had provoked him, so could it be...?
Is it because it's too cold?
Thinking this, Yu Nian asked someone to add another basin of charcoal.
The house already had underfloor heating, and with the addition of charcoal fire, a wave of heat hit us as soon as we lifted the curtain.
That temperature was enough to melt any snow or wind that Chunyu Han brought back from outside.
As soon as Chunyu Han entered, he saw Yu Nian sitting cross-legged on a small couch, peeling oranges.
"Still not asleep."
Normally, Yu Nian would be too sleepy to keep her eyes open, but today Yu Nian was waiting for Chunyu Han to come back.
I can't sleep because I miss you.
With a smile, Yu Nian pulled Chunyu Han's hand and handed him the hand warmer she had just used.
Chunyu Han didn't want any hand warmers. He simply pulled Yu Nian's warm little hand and held it in his own, his fingertips tinged with the scent of oranges.
"Glib-tongued, always ready to speak his mind."
Yu Nian leaned her head on Chunyu Han's shoulder and smiled slightly.
“I picked out a piece of moon-white satin. I always thought you would look good in that color.”
Chunyu Han never wore light-colored clothes; if blood were stained on light-colored clothes, it would be too obvious. Although he rarely did it himself now, dark colors had become his habit.
"I don't like light colors, but I'll like them if you made them yourself."
Chunyu Han's casual remark immediately put Yu Nian under immense pressure.
Even a small sachet almost turned Yu Nian's hands into sieves. This piece of clothing is such a painstaking item, it would take Yu Nian forever to finish it.
Yu Nian smiled slightly, changed the subject, and looked up at Chunyu Han's cold and stern profile. Those sharp lines could sometimes become as gentle as water.
"How about we move to Jiangnan in the future?"
Why the sudden urge to move?
Chunyu Han was a first-rank minister and could not easily leave the capital unless he was transferred or on an inspection tour.
"Winter in Jiangnan is not as cold as in Kyoto, there is very little snow, and the climate is more nurturing."
If Chunyu Han went there, he would probably feel better.
Chunyu Han held Yu Nian's small hand in his palm, and the chill in his body gradually dissipated in the warm room.
"Niannian, I hate winter."
That winter, the heavy snow took everything from Chunyu Han.
Every winter, his joints would uncontrollably turn cold, and all the past tormented him, keeping him awake at night.
He endured it all, knowing that one day he would end this nightmare with his own hands. Only he knew the meaning of honeysuckle.
It wasn't referring to that particular flower, but rather it was a way for him to remind himself that if he could endure the long winter, the dawn would break.
Changing positions, Chunyu Han pulled Yu Nian into his arms.
He didn't want to lose anything more, and things would soon come to an end.
"Then let's go to a warm place, and I'll always be with you."
No matter when or where, their hearts are always tightly bound together.
Yu Nian hopes that the knot deep in Chunyu Han's heart can be slowly untied.
"Niannian, I have a friend coming to visit in a few days, so I might be very busy. Once things settle down, let's move to Jiangnan, okay?"
Yu Nian nodded slightly, but felt somewhat uneasy.
Chunyu Han rarely mentioned his friends, but Yu Nian could sense that this friend of Chunyu Han was the key to helping him raise an army.
Is that day going to come sooner than expected...?
Yu Nian lowered her eyes; she should also prepare earlier.
