Chapter 23: Is my husband Ru Yaoxi punishing me?
Cui Yiluo leaned against his arms softly, as if she was getting ready for bed. She had changed into a nightgown, the thin gauze covering her slightly revealing the fair skin underneath. Below her protruding collarbone, there were a few irregular red marks, as if left by force, and they were particularly obvious on her white skin.
That was left over from yesterday.
The red mark was hidden under her neatly dressed dress during the day, and only appeared at night when they were alone together, and only he could see it.
The dim yellow candlelight softened Jiang Yunjin's usually cold expression, but his dark eyes gradually deepened.
Cui Yiluo climbed onto his waist and, as if unconsciously, gently rubbed his vertebrae through his robe.
"Would you like to take a bath, my husband?"
The man's back was straight, and dark clouds were brewing in his dark eyes.
Bathing was something he did every night, but after last night, the meaning of it changed forever.
"Husband?"
Perhaps because she saw that he didn't answer, Cui Yiluo raised her face that was pressed against his neck in confusion, her watery eyes filled with tender affection, as if she could only see him.
Jiang Yunjin slowly pulled down her hand that was resting on his waist. His palm felt warm and soft. He said softly, "Okay."
Hot water was ready in the bathroom, and the rosewood door was closed tightly by the man. Cui Yiluo took a look and did not bolt the door.
Soon after, the sound of water began to rise, which was particularly clear in the middle of the night.
Cui Yiluo walked lightly and gently pushed open the bathroom door.
The next moment, the man's cold voice came through the screen: "Who?"
Who else could it be but her?
Cui Yiluo walked around the screen in front of the door that blocked the view inside the bathroom and walked slowly towards Jiang Yunjin.
His clothes were neatly placed on a wooden rack beside him. His white jade hair crown had been removed, and the end of his high ponytail of black hair was slightly wet.
As if she couldn't see the man's gloomy face, she said softly, "Husband, I will help you bathe."
"No need, get out."
Jiang Yunjin frowned and spoke coldly, quickly taking a cloth to cover his legs.
He was naked and had only a cloth to cover his body, so he had no way of driving her away.
A hint of smile flashed across Cui Yiluo's eyes, and a look of grievance appeared on her face: "But isn't it a wife's duty to help her husband bathe? My husband has been busy outside all day, and Yiluo feels sorry for him."
As she spoke, she squatted down, wrapped her soft arms around his neck intimately, and put her red lips close to the man's cheek. The gauze robe was instantly half wet by the water, making their skin stick closer together.
Without the covering of clothes, she could see his body's reactions more clearly.
The hand that was naturally placed on the edge of the bathtub instantly grasped the edge tightly, and the muscles in his arms bulged into smooth and beautiful curves. When he was lying on her deeply last night, his muscles were even tighter than now, and contained infinite power.
Cui Yiluo gently brushed past the piece of cloth that he had blocked in the back, then looked at his stern profile and suppressed the corners of her lips that were raised.
Jiang Yunjin frowned and grabbed her hand tightly, trying to take it away. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched it, he heard her cry out softly.
"Husband, it hurts."
He immediately pulled her back into the red tent from last night and Jiang Yunjin immediately let go of her hand.
He calmed his breathing and tried his best to keep his tone normal: "You go out first, I'll go out after I change my clothes."
Cui Yiluo felt even more aggrieved, her tone sounding very pitiful: "Why is my husband so estranged from me?"
As if she was afraid of being driven away, she hugged his broad shoulders even tighter. Her wide sleeves of gauze were completely soaked in water, sticking to her waist.
Jiang Yunjin frowned, his forehead throbbing, and he closed his eyes to avoid looking at the hazy white in front of him.
The side of his face suddenly touched the red pure skin of Ruche Ya. It was a light touch, but it was like a spark that ignited a fire, and the cloth was firmly pressed down.
Jiao Numei's voice rang in her ears again, like a complaint, but also like a seductive hint: "Husband, my pajamas are wet."
Jiang Yunjin raised his eyelids slightly, his thin eyelids covering the huge waves rising in his eyes. His voice was low and hoarse: "Get out."
Cui Yiluo's hand caressed as gently as water, moving to the side of his face, causing him to turn his face slightly.
His eyes were cold and dark without a trace of light, like a beast that had set its sights on its prey and was about to devour it in the blink of an eye.
The candlelight in the bathroom flickered dimly through the lampshade with the Chinese character "囍" (囍) pasted on it, casting a blurry silhouette of the two people whose noses were almost touching on the screen.
The temperature in the bathroom was higher than that in the bedroom, and it was filled with hot and humid steam. Cui Yiluo's cheeks were stained red by the steam, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, flashing with fragments of light.
She hugged his neck, her body pressed against his strong shoulders, her face close to his, their noses almost touching, their breaths heating up.
She looked at him seriously and said, "Husband, you were out all day today, and I missed you very much."
Jiang Yunjin lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her without saying a word.
Cui Yiluo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her face slightly, touching the slightly cold thin lips. She touched them again and again. At the moment of one of the touches, the back of her neck was suddenly grasped by slender fingers and pressed down, and her jaw was grasped by another hand with a force that would not allow her to break free.
Her nightgown was already soaked, and now it was completely wet. The half-warm, half-cold water stuck to her and made her feel uncomfortable, dragging her down. She complained helplessly, "Husband, nightgown..."
Jiang Yunjin was unusually considerate, and she finally broke free from the heavy restraints. Her skirt, soaked with water, fell on the rosewood floor, splashing a few drops of water, but no one cared.
But gradually, water droplets were sprinkled on the ground and the screen. The water droplets became more and more, and the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, which should have been quiet in the middle of the night, covered up the sound of Qiu Qiu's crying.
The bathtub was too cramped, so she had to step on his shoulders. Her back was aching from the massage, and she couldn't stand the coldness and the rocking sensation. She began to resist, but was grabbed by the corners of her arms and pulled away.
She didn't know whether it was hot or cold, but her whole body was shivering.
Cui Yiluo stared at the flickering candlelight. She hadn't expected it to turn out this way. The water seemed to have flowed into her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her eyes were red.
She pulled Jiang Yunjin's neck down hard, and leaned against the protruding knot of her mouth. The sound of her voice was sometimes louder and sometimes softer, like the flickering candlelight inside the lampshade after it was wet from time to time.
"Are you punishing me, my husband?"
The man from Shang Fang clenched his jaw, looked at her gravely, pursed his lips without answering, and stood up even harder, as if he wanted to crush her heart.
It was like a wrestling match, Cui Yiluo couldn't help but use more force, but that was her instinctive reaction.
The man finally spoke, frowning and whispering, "Relax."
Cui Yiluo seemed to have found a fatal flaw. She hugged Jiang Yunjin's neck, tilted her head back, and kissed his lips with even more force.
At the end of the struggle, it was unclear who won or lost, but the bathroom was in a mess. The woven carpet in front of the door was stained with water, and there were water droplets on the window paper, not to mention the curtains, lampshades, and screens. As for the clothes hanging on the crossbar and the nightgown on the ground, they were in a mess.
Cui Yiluo seemed to be angry, and she was very upset.
A large palm covered with blue veins pressed against her back, and she was locked in his arms. Jiang Yunjin's handsome face was buried in her shoulder, as if he was calming down, and his black hair was spread out indistinguishable from each other.
After a moment, he let her go, his eyes dark and unclear, "I'll go get some water."
The water is cold and turbid, so of course it needs to be washed again.
Cui Yiluo was still sobbing, her shoulders shaking slightly.
Jiang Yunjin changed his clothes and went outside to tell the servants to fetch water. The maids wanted to carry the water into the bathroom, so he had to first pull Cui Yiluo out of the water, wrap her in a blanket, and carry her out horizontally.
His arms were extremely powerful, something Cui Yiluo had just fully realized. It turned out that he had actually suppressed a lot last night.
Cui Yiluo hugged his neck as she did before, but her arms were soft and weak.
A man's deep voice suddenly came from above my head: "Uncomfortable?"
At the last moment, a few more red marks appeared on his back. She was struggling and helpless, with tears all over her face, looking very pitiful.
Cui Yiluo said with a faint nasal tone: "No."
At this moment, there was still a lingering aftertaste in Shen's body. It was not uncomfortable, but she could not bear it.
"Feel sorry."
Jiang Yunjin's cold and resolute face was filled with complex emotions.
He placed her on the couch and was about to sit on the other side when her skirt was suddenly grabbed with a stubborn force.
Jiang Yunjin pursed his lips and sat back.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Cui Yiluo sat directly across his legs.
Although she held the blanket with one hand to prevent it from falling off, her movements still exposed her shoulders and collarbones, which were dotted with red marks. The slightly faded red marks were covered with new ones.
Jiang Yunjin immediately restrained her and said forcefully, "Get out."
Cui Yiluo bit her swollen lip and asked, "Is my husband angry with me?"
Jiang Yunjin paused for a few seconds and then said, "No."
Cui Yiluo sat on his legs, which were still a little tense after his wide movement, and moved a little closer. She whispered, "Then why was my husband so fierce just now?"
For a few moments, she couldn't even breathe.
Jiang Yunjin's expression became even more complicated. "Sorry, I won't do that again in the future."
At the same time, the maids who were summoned to fetch water entered the bathroom and were shocked when they saw the situation inside. They subconsciously exchanged glances with each other.
I didn't expect that the eldest son, who looked cold and abstinent, would have such extravagant fun with his wife on the second day after their marriage.
They quickly cleaned up the messy bathroom, emptied the little water left in the bathtub, replaced it with new hot water, and then went out.
The servants could not see what was going on in the room through the bamboo curtain that hung to the ground. They could only hear the eldest son whispering something to his wife, and the wife seemed to be acting coquettishly with the eldest son.
"Sir, Madam, the water is ready."
Jiang Yunjin's calm voice came through the bamboo curtain: "Go down."
"yes."
After the door creaked open and closed, only Cui Yiluo and Jiang Yunjin were left in the room.
Cui Yiluo looked at his increasingly cold expression, and a smile appeared in her eyes. She still remembered the look of lust in his dark eyes just now, which was even more reckless than yesterday.
She didn't take another step closer, and said softly, "Husband, I'll go take a bath first."
After all, the deep-down Yanyueer felt really uncomfortable.
Jiang Yunjin lowered his eyes and nodded.
My arms felt empty, and the bathroom door opened and closed.
Jiang Yunjin stared at the bathroom door through the bamboo curtain, his eyes gradually darkening.
Jixuezhai was where he studied the six arts of a gentleman from childhood to adulthood. There were even books on the bookshelf next to it that his father had taught him to read. After what happened last night, he took out one of the books and read it.
Every word and sentence in it is warning him that a gentleman should not indulge in sensual pleasures and indulge in lust.
He was completely trapped in it.
