Chapter 177 Possessing His Tenderness
Yu Nian smiled, her eyes crinkling, and sat up to feed Chunyu Han.
The soup was very rich and fragrant, with a subtle herbal aroma.
"I gave you the keys to the Regent's Treasury long ago. Do you think I need your money?"
After drinking the soup, Chunyu Han's complexion improved noticeably.
“I just wanted to save some money for a rainy day. Once the business was established, I handed it over to my second brother, as you know him.”
Yu Nian fed Chunyu Han the soup and then carefully wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Then tell me, how did you find out about me?"
Chunyu Hanxi glanced at Yu Nian and spoke calmly.
"Qingzhu also has another name, Heqing."
Yu Nian suddenly realized, oh well, so she had been snitched on.
"You stay here quietly. You're not allowed to kneel on that washboard anymore. I'll decide how you're punished."
Chunyu Han got up and lowered the bed curtains for Yu Nian.
Yu Nian's head popped out from behind the curtain. "Where are you going?"
"Take a bath."
Chunyu Han looked down at Yu Nian with a meaningful gaze.
"Want to come together?"
Yu Nian smiled and pulled her head back. She was indeed thinking about Chunyu Han's big bathhouse, but her legs were still numb.
Lying on her back on the bed, Yu Nian looked at the black gauze hanging from the ceiling. It seemed like it had been a long time since she had spent the night at the Honeysuckle Pavilion.
The beds here are much bigger. Yu Nian had long said she wanted to get a bigger bed in Yu Garden, but Chunyu Han refused and insisted on squeezing in with her.
Yu Nian felt that Chunyu Han was simply too insecure deep down.
Yu Nian originally wanted to wait for Chunyu Han to come back before going to sleep, but after waiting for a long time without seeing him, drowsiness came over her and Yu Nian closed her eyes in a daze.
I had a vague feeling that Chunyu Han had returned, but he went out again shortly afterward.
After this happened twice, Yu Nian rubbed her eyes, got up, and pulled Chunyu Han, who was about to get out of bed, back to his feet.
Where are you going?
"Take a bath."
Chunyu Han's voice was muffled and somewhat hoarse.
Yu Nian frowned. What was going on? Had time reversed? Chunyu Han had said that before she went to sleep.
Chunyu Han's muscular arms were still cool to the touch, clearly indicating that he had just taken a bath.
"You're already clean and smell nice, stop fussing and go to sleep."
Yu Nian wrapped her arms around Chunyu Han's waist and dragged him toward the couch.
Chunyu Han did not refuse, but after lying down, he tossed and turned. Even though it was almost winter, he felt hot all over.
Yu Nian snuggled into his arms, which made it even hotter, especially in a certain place.
After thinking it over, Chunyu Han dug Yu Nian out of his arms, who was about to fall asleep.
"What kind of soup did you give me? Who made it?"
Yu Nian was puzzled as to why Chunyu Han was asking about the soup again.
"This medicinal soup, I made it myself. My fourth brother said it was specially made for you to cure your illness... Sigh!"
As Yu Nian was speaking, she was about to turn over when her thigh was accidentally bumped. This familiar feeling made Yu Nian blush instantly.
"Why are you still..."
Her lips were captured and gently caressed, revealing a tender longing.
His hoarse voice was filled with indescribable tenderness and restraint.
"Niannian, I want to..."
He released the soft petals, his voice hoarse.
"...Can I have you...?"
Even though the effects of the drug were taking hold, Chunyu Han still respected Yu Nian's wishes. He didn't want to force her if she wasn't ready.
Chunyu Han reserved all his rare moments of tenderness for her.
Yu Nian's breath became hot from that kiss. She was afraid of pain, but she also wanted to possess his tenderness all to herself.
Yu Nian raised her hand and wrapped it around Chunyu Han's neck. Her eyes, shimmering like peach blossoms, were filled with affection.
"I want to too..."
Having received her permission, Chunyu Han's eyes darkened further.
He suppressed the urge to kiss her immediately, turned over and placed Yu Nian on the soft pillow. He got out of bed, took a tinderbox, and lit a lamp by the bedside.
The flickering candlelight cast a warm glow, adding an air of ambiguity as it shone through the black gauze bed curtains.
Yu Nian raised her hand to cover her face slightly, looking somewhat reproachful.
Why are you turning on the light?
The darkness of night further concealed her shyness.
Chunyu Han pulled Yu Nian down beneath him again, her slightly damp hair falling over her shoulders.
"Because I want to clearly etch this moment of you into my memory."
Chunyu Han chuckled softly. The lamps were indeed better. His Nian Nian's face was already so red, she looked so beautiful.
The kiss landed slowly and gently, moving down the neck, which was bathed in the warm glow of the candlelight.
As they reached the edge, Yu Nian gave a slight suck, letting out a soft moan as her back arched slightly.
Chunyu Han's fingertips easily hooked the sash of her blouse that was pressed against her waist and untied it.
Yu Nian raised her hand and grasped Chunyu Han's hand. Chunyu Han was taken aback, and his tone sounded somewhat aggrieved.
"Have you changed your mind?"
At this point, what is she still going to do to back out!
"You already did last time... Shouldn't it be my turn to go first this time?"
Yu Nian sat up slightly and tugged at Chunyu Han's collar.
Her small hand rested on Chunyu Han's chest, her cheek close to his, listening and savoring his strong heartbeat.
The person in his arms, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, captured the essence of his actions that day, yet was even more tormenting than he had been.
He let out a low, nasal sound.
He patiently tugged at the small knot hanging down the back of her neck, letting her play with it to her heart's content. Then, Chunyu Han pressed down on her shoulder and gave it a slight tug.
Two hearts, throbbing with excitement, finally pressed together without any hindrance, exchanging each other's warmth.
Chunyu Han only released Yu Nian when she became somewhat limp.
His hand groped around the pillow, searching for something.
When Yu Nian turned her head, she saw Chunyu Han holding a golden ring in his hand, which was shaped like an armlet, but much larger in diameter.
The design features a hollowed-out pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, with a ring of tiny bells adorning the outer edge.
"What's this?"
Chunyu Han did not answer Yu Nian; this was due to his own selfish reasons.
That day, he saw that Yu Nian seemed to be envious of the bracelet that Cang Hai gave to Chun Tao. He thought that Yu Nian didn't lack bracelets, so he made this for her.
He kept this secret thought hidden here, never expecting to have the opportunity to use it.
The clasp closed slightly, about a fist's width above Yu Nian's knee. The cool metal made her tremble slightly, and a soft bell rang.
"Be good, don't move."
Just as he thought, it's a good fit.
Yu Nian was already a little nervous, and after seeing this, she couldn't help but tighten her grip on Chunyu Han's hand.
"I'm not afraid."
Chunyu Han gently intertwined his fingers with hers, soothing her nervousness. He was nervous too; he was about to completely possess his most cherished treasure.
Fish stranded in a dried-up pond desperately search for water.
Separated only by a narrow crevice in the rocks, one can slip into the clear stream.
The fish's scales were scraped by the cracks in the rocks, and the pain fueled its desire.
Like being reborn, the stream, warmed by the blazing sun, envelops and nourishes her.
The stream babbles, and the bells tinkle...
