Chapter 157 Torture
Shen Wan just looked at Xie Jingyu, and Xie Jingyu felt that the gold bracelet in his hand was particularly hot.
He felt that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was full of chaos, while the inner quarters of the Prince Jingbei's Mansion were peaceful, with brothers friendly and respectful to each other. It was an exception among the aristocratic families. Who would have thought that this harmony was gained by his father's forbearance? Beneath the peaceful surface, there were undercurrents that could cause huge waves at any time.
Shen Wan sighed inwardly. She wanted to live a peaceful life for a few days, but why was it so difficult?
She didn't offend the people in Jingbei Palace, right? They turned their butcher knives on her right after she got married. They wouldn't pick on the weak.
Shen Wan accepted the gold bracelet resignedly and put it on her wrist.
The small kitchen brought in lunch, and Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu sat down to eat together, but Shen Wan's appetite had disappeared without a trace.
The mess at Duke Dingguo's Mansion hasn't been cleaned up yet, and now there's this whole mess at Prince Jingbei's Mansion. No wonder Xie Jingyu killed all those people in his previous life. He treated her like this, let alone Xie Jingyu. However, these people are too good at pretending. If she didn't have the memory of her previous life, she would really be fooled by their superb acting skills.
Xie Jingyu picked up a piece of fish and put it in Shen Wan's bowl. "Don't think too much. I won't let anything happen to you."
How could she not think about it? The people in Prince Jingbei's Mansion were much more difficult to deal with than those in Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Fortunately, there was no war at the border, so Xie Jingyu didn't have to go to the border. Otherwise, if she was left alone in Prince Jingbei's Mansion, she would probably be dead by the time he came back.
Thinking that if Xie Jingyu hadn't rescued her, her grave would have been covered with grass by now, what else could Shen Wan say? She had already boarded the pirate ship and there was no turning back.
Besides, no matter how vicious or good at disguise those people are, they cannot defeat the guy next to her, so there is no need to worry too much.
Thinking of this, his appetite returned a little, and Chen Wan diligently picked up some food for Xie Jingyu. This bastard had a bad temper, but his methods were really good. If he had a good relationship with him, maybe he could have a good ending.
Seeing that Shen Wan was not angry but also picked up some food for him, if it wasn't under his nose, Xie Jingyu would have suspected that the food was poisoned. Why is this woman so good-tempered today?
The meal was quite pleasant. After lunch, Chen Wan took the maid to familiarize herself with Zhaolanxuan inside and out, and decorated the inner room according to her own preferences. An afternoon passed.
When Xie Jingyu came back from the study, he was a little dazed when he saw the inner room that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Seeing him looking around, Shen Wan said, “Isn’t it good-looking?”
"It does look good, but—"
He didn't say anything else.
Shen Wan asked, "What is it?"
“…It feels like marrying into the family.”
Shen Wan was embarrassed.
Shanhu Yinchuan almost got internal injuries from holding it in.
Afraid that she would not be able to hold back her laughter, the two maids hurried out.
Shen Wan looked around and it looked like her boudoir before she got married, but not quite like it. Shen Wan said, "Why don't I change it back..."
"Not really, it's just that I'm not used to it for a while."
Xie Jingyu sat down and drank tea.
Um.
Even the teacup was changed to the one Shen Wan liked.
Xie Jingyu said there was no need to change, so Shen Wan didn't change.
Chen Wan was very self-righteous. If this bastard hadn't used the Taoist priest to scare her parents, she wouldn't have to get married. She was drugged and plotted against right after she got married. She just decorated the house according to her own preferences. If it wasn't for the fact that it was not appropriate to go too far, Chen Wan would have wanted to occupy the entire house by herself.
Building a good relationship is the most important thing, so after nightfall, Chen Wan took a bath early, and when Xie Jingyu came back from the study, Chen Wan was making the bed on the floor.
Xie Jingyu's handsome brows twisted into a knot, "What are you doing?"
Isn’t this obvious enough?
"Sleep on the floor."
Xie Jingyu laughed angrily, "Why don't you just kick me out when you let me sleep on the floor?"
Do you think she doesn't want to?
She doesn't dare, okay?
"I laid it for myself."
Shen Wan pressed it with his hand and spread out two quilts, which were very soft and no worse than the bed.
Seeing that she was serious, Xie Jingyu felt anxious and asked, "Are you planning to sleep on the floor forever?"
Shen Wan didn't even raise her head, "When you move out one day, I can sleep in the bed..."
Before he could finish his words, he was pulled up, and the next second, he was carried sideways.
Shen Wan struggled, "What are you doing?"
Xie Jingyu threw her directly onto the bed. "In my house, you are not allowed to sleep on the floor or on a small couch. You can choose between sleeping on the bed or on the beam."
Is this a choice?
She can't even climb up to the beam, how is she supposed to sleep?
Xie Jingyu had an expression that said if you dare to choose the beam, I will send you up, Shen Wan didn't even dare to get angry, this bastard really could do it.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and Shen Wan was so cowardly that he pulled the quilt to wrap himself up, and then found that there was only one quilt on the bed. Two quilts were prepared last night. When he woke up in the morning, the maid found one thrown on the small couch. He thought they only needed one quilt and did not prepare two.
Shen Wan said to Xie Jingyu, "One quilt is missing."
Chen Wan meant for Xie Jingyu to take a quilt from the floor and give it to her, but Xie Jingyu pretended not to hear. Well, not only did he not take the quilt, he also felt that two pillows were too many, so he threw one away.
Throwing the pillow away, he got on the bed, hugged Shen Wan, and their heads rested together.
The movements were so smooth that Chen Wan forgot to react. His mind was full of the words "sharing the same bed". A strange feeling flashed through his heart, like a torrent spreading from his heart to every part of his body, which was hard to explain.
Seeing that Shen Wan didn't speak, Xie Jingyu felt a little uncomfortable, "What are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think of anything!"
Shen Wan's voice was a little hurried, and his ears, neck and face were burning hot.
Just for a moment, she wanted to turn around and hug him tightly.
So scary!
She actually had such an idea.
It's dangerous for a single man and a single woman to stay in the same room and sleep in the same bed. If she really loses control and does this, it will be a catastrophic situation that will be out of control.
The bastard behind her had no intention of keeping her virginity pure for her beloved...
Chen Wan was depressed. This fake marriage was totally different from what she had imagined. She thought it would be just like her and Xiao Yun in her previous life, where they would live in separate rooms starting from their wedding night. But it turned out that she and Xie Jingyu didn't even have separate quilts and pillows, let alone separate rooms.
Shen Wan didn't dare to struggle and was ready to sleep like this. As a result, the arms holding her gradually tightened, so tight that he wanted to rub her into his body, and the breath sprayed on the back of her neck became hotter and hotter. Just when Shen Wan couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to reach out to scratch her, Xie Jingyu let go of her and got off the bed.
Shen Wan let out a long sigh. It felt so good to occupy the entire bed by herself. She didn't know when she would be able to sleep alone again...
When Xie Jingyu came back, Chen Wan had already fallen asleep. Xie Jingyu lay down and pulled her into his arms. Chen Wan hugged his waist and got into a comfortable position in his arms, with her face almost buried in his clothes. If she didn't know that Shen Wan would not do such a thing when she was awake, she would really suspect that she did it on purpose.
Xie Jingyu looked helpless. He had never seen anyone torture someone so well.
Torture when awake, torture when asleep.
Holding Chen Wan, Xie Jingyu also fell asleep.
