Chapter 171 Feelings Heat Up
After the 100-day celebration.
Xu Chumian's body has fully recovered. Since her marriage last year, she has regained her lightness and grace, and laughter fills the Heyun Courtyard every day.
Zhao Xiao was an easy child. Even when he woke up and his parents weren't around, he would quietly play with his tangram puzzle without making a fuss, waiting for his mother to come and hold him.
The summer sun is blazing.
Zhao Yu has been relatively free lately, so he's been returning to the Duke's mansion early.
From the time Xu Chumian became pregnant until now, the two of them have not had sex. After finally getting through the 100-day celebration, Zhao Yu's eyes darkened when he looked at Xu Chumian.
Xu Chumian couldn't stand Zhao Yu's direct and intense gaze.
She coughed lightly, "You've just gotten back, go change your clothes first, we'll start eating in a bit."
Zhao Yu hummed in agreement. "Where's my son?"
"It's with Mother."
Not long after Zhao Xiao woke up, someone from his mother's side came and said that Old Madam Zhao wanted to see her great-grandson, so Zhang Shi took her grandson with her.
Zhao Yu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Get them all out of here."
Xu Chumian was reading a book when she heard the sound. She glanced at Zhao Yu and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Yu raised an eyebrow, looked at Xu Chumian with a half-smile, stepped forward, picked up his wife around the waist, and headed towards the bathroom.
Xu Chumian frowned. "He'an, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Yu placed a kiss on her lips.
What do you think?
Xu Chumian was placed on a high table not far from the inside of the washroom.
Even when sitting at the table, Chu Mian had to slightly raise her eyes to see Zhao Yu clearly.
Zhao Yu took her hand and placed it on his waist.
"You help me undress."
Xu Chumian glared at him, "Don't do anything reckless."
We still have dinner later, and Zhao Xiao might be sent back at any time.
Zhao Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, "They wouldn't dare to cause trouble."
Xu Chumian's face was slightly flushed, her complexion as beautiful as a peach blossom.
"In short, you're not allowed to do anything reckless."
With his clothes thin, Xu Chumian easily unbuttoned Zhao Yu's clothes.
As the layers of clothing fell to the ground, Zhao Yu could no longer resist kissing her lips.
It went deeper and deeper.
Zhao Yu gently cupped her neck in his hands, and she tilted her head slightly, noticing something was wrong with him.
Xu Chumian froze.
Zhao Yu tightened his grip on her.
Xu Chumian patted him on the shoulder.
Zhao Yu then released her. Xu Chumian breathed heavily, her eyes filled with desire, leaning against him. Her voice was very soft, "Wait until tonight, okay?"
Zhao Yu held her for a long time before letting her go.
Xu Chumian felt as if her whole body was on fire.
She fanned herself and tidied her hair in front of the dressing mirror. Only when she could see that nothing was wrong did she call Xiao Tao in.
Xu Chumian continued to hold the book in her hand, as if nothing had happened.
"Let's set out the meal first."
"Yes, young mistress."
Sure enough, Zhao Xiao returned not long after.
Granny Liang held the baby, Xiao Ge'er, who was babbling in baby talk. As soon as he saw his mother, he reached out his hand to Xu Chumian.
Xu Chumian's heart softened, and she took her son.
As soon as Zhao Yu came out of the bathroom, he saw the mother and son talking on the soft couch.
Zhao Yu approached.
Xu Chumian waved Zhao Xiao's hand, "Father is here."
Zhao Yu shifted his gaze from his son's face and fixed it on Xu Chumian's face.
Xu Chumian gave him a light glare.
Zhao Yu smiled, hugged his son, and held Xu Chumian's hand.
"Time to eat."
After dinner, Xu Chumian dawdled and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
As the time drew closer, Xu Chumian couldn't help but feel hesitant...
She always suspected that she hadn't fully recovered.
The once flat and white belly now has a few faint lines.
She sat in the bathroom, even less inclined to go out.
Footsteps approached from outside, and Zhao Yu knocked on the door.
"First sleep?"
Xu Chumian pursed her lips, about to speak, when Zhao Yu entered.
Seeing that she was sitting down and already dressed, Zhao Yu frowned and asked, "Chu Mian, what's wrong?"
Xu Chumian looked at him with red eyes.
Zhao Yu's heart tightened. "Not feeling well?"
Xu Chumian shook her head. She moved her lips, a feeling of inexplicable grievance rising in her heart.
Zhao Yu picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom, then put her directly on the bed.
Even now, Zhao Yu still hasn't let go of her.
Zhao Yu leaned close to her ear, "You don't want to?"
Xu Chumian glanced at him and shook her head. "No."
Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "What does this have to do with me?"
I don't think so.
Xu Chumian shook her head.
Zhao Yu pursed his lips. "Something on your mind?"
Zhao Yu could guess somewhat of what Xu Chumian was thinking.
Zhao Yu proved his point with his actions.
Zhao Yu pulled Xu Chumian's hand down.
"Chu Mian, to me you are no different from usual, you are still you."
Clothes fell to the ground, filling the room with a sensual atmosphere.
Zhao Yu initially thought Xu Chumian was thinking of something else, but when he gently kissed her abdomen, Xu Chumian froze.
Zhao Yu's voice was extremely hoarse, "Chu Mian is still very beautiful."
Xu Chumian's fingernails dug into Zhao Yu's shoulder and arm.
She raised her head, like a swan blooming in its most beautiful form before dying.
At first, Xu Chumian thought Zhao Yu's words were just meant to comfort her.
But as time went on, Xu Chumian completely lost that idea.
She was like a pancake, being flipped over and over by Zhao Yu.
The noise inside the room only subsided as dawn approached outside.
Xu Chumian completely lost all other thoughts.
Xu Chumian leaned against Zhao Yu's chest and fell into a deep sleep.
But just before Zhao Yu went to court, Xu Chumian was woken up again.
She reluctantly agreed, but was too tired to deal with Zhao Yu.
When she woke up again, it was almost noon.
Xu Chumian opened her eyes. The room was very quiet, and the maids in the courtyard outside were making sure to move as quietly as possible.
The young master specifically instructed this morning not to disturb the young mistress's rest.
Even if it's Xiao Ge'er who comes looking for you, try to slow things down as much as possible.
Xu Chumian lay motionless on the bed, looking exactly like someone who had been dragged by Zhao Yu to climb a mountain for three days and three nights, unable to move an inch.
Recalling last night, Xu Chumian truly felt Zhao Yu's madness.
Her previous treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, or that night in Chenzhou, seemed like child's play.
Last night, Zhao Yu was no different from his unrestrained self in his previous life.
Xu Chumian finally pulled the thin bell by the bed, and Xiao Tao entered the room.
"Young Madam, you're awake. Would you like to have some food first or take a bath?"
Xu Chumian said in a hoarse voice, "Water."
Upon hearing that voice, Xiao Tao blushed.
She quickly poured Xu Chumian a glass of water, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the marks on Xu Chumian's neck. Xiao Tao didn't know where to look.
Xu Chumian felt a little better after drinking the water.
She said softly, "Go take a bath first."
Soaking in hot water, Xu Chumian felt alive again.
In the past, Xu Chumian didn't like anyone helping her when she bathed, but today was a special case. Xiao Tao was waiting just three steps away, and when Xu Chumian needed her, she would help hand her a towel, soap, etc.
When Xu Chumian came out of the bathroom, she looked as if she had been drenched in spring rain, and her complexion was excellent.
