Chapter 26: Getting married only because my father has no concubines, and my family...
But her father had no concubines, and even if other elders in the family had any, they were mostly the same age as his wife. Most of the weddings he attended outside were for newlyweds, so Ji Yunchan had never seen the process of taking a concubine.
She couldn't help but think too much, and the world spun around her. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Yan Heng picked her up by the waist.
Ji Yunchan was caught off guard, screamed in surprise, and clutched Yan Heng's clothes tightly.
Seeing her so delicate, Yan Heng couldn't help but smile with a bit more sincerity.
But thinking of what she had done the other day, he refused to say anything to comfort her, and just carried her steadily all the way into the bridal chamber.
After the two of them sat down opposite each other, Yan Heng reached out and took off the veil on her head.
"What a beautiful bride!"
"A national beauty, a fragrance that stretches far and wide!"
"How lucky the General is!"
......
Amid the exclamations and admiration of the crowd, Yan Heng stared at Ji Yunchan intently.
She was indeed extremely beautiful, she had cast off her usual orchid-like demeanor. With her new makeup on, she looked radiant and beautiful beyond words, even more beautiful than she had in her dreams.
He was trapped in marriage and was obsessed with his lover.
Ji Yunchan looked up with a smile, but met Yan Heng's deep gaze.
The smile froze on the corner of his mouth. She only saw that he was not smiling. But in an instant, Yan Heng turned his head and brought the wedding wine to drink with her.
Ji Yunchan drank a little faster and frowned before she could hold back her cough.
Hearing the person in front of her laugh briefly, she quickly looked up, but saw Yan Heng with a normal expression, making the laughter just now seem like an illusion.
The bridesmaids came up to the bed in a lively manner, scattering handfuls of peanuts and dates on the bed, saying auspicious words: "May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years! May you have a son soon!"
"We'll be together forever!"
"Wealth, good fortune, many children, and great happiness!"
After the ceremony in the bridal chamber was over, Yan Heng stood up and looked at Ji Yunchan deeply, "I'll go out to entertain the guests."
Ji Yunchan raised her head and nodded ignorantly.
Yan Heng smiled with satisfaction and was surrounded by the crowd and left, leaving only Ji Yunchan.
The room suddenly became quiet, but outside there were lights and decorations, and the sound of lively celebrations could be heard faintly.
Ji Yunchan stared at the door for a long time, until the wedding candles popped and she woke up from her dream.
My eyes followed the pair of auspicious candles with dragon and phoenix patterns beside the bed, to the red bed curtains, and then to the wedding character on the window frame. Under the window frame, there was a familiar chessboard.
The doubts that had been temporarily suppressed resurfaced——
Does taking a concubine require so many complicated procedures? Or is Yan Heng taking her as a concubine?
This was the main house. Even though it was less spacious with the addition of many things, it was still the main house. Four plates of dim sum were placed on the table where Yan Heng usually ate.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, she suppressed it immediately.
What was Ji Yunchan thinking about? She pinched her palm hard, feeling embarrassed just by having this thought.
Don't be wishful thinking.
......
As the sky gradually darkened, Yan Heng left and returned.
The door was closed with a creaking sound. He was wearing a bright red wedding gown and a golden crown on his head. He stood at the door with an upright posture, but did not go in. He stared at Ji Yunchan who was sitting on the bed for a long time.
You don't know how long I have been waiting for this day.
He thought as he looked at Ji Yunchan, who had beautiful eyebrows and eyes but knew nothing.
But you don't love me, so I will never tell you.
The young general was heartbroken, but he held on to his last bit of pride.
He took advantage of the wine he had just drunk to move closer to her step by step.
Yan Heng, you can't let her fool you for the third time. He looked at Ji Yunchan's watery eyes and secretly warned himself that he could support her, but he couldn't love her anymore.
When they were just a few inches away, he didn't even look at her. He turned around, undressed, and went to bed.
Ji Yunchan noticed his indifference, lowered her eyes and bit her lip.
It was understandable that Ah Heng was angry with her. Even a person with a bad temper would be angry if she acted like that.
Even though there are more ironies, it is not easy for him to be willing to marry her.
So Ji Yunchan was willing to do anything from the bottom of her heart as long as she could get his forgiveness.
Thinking of the fire avoidance map and the cryptic teachings her mother had given her, she moved closer and hugged him.
Yan Heng's hands stopped as he was undressing.
The hand climbed up his back like a dodder, clinging tightly to him.
Yan Heng's muscles were tense, unable to bear this gentle embrace. He suddenly turned around and pressed her down, kissing her all over. The bright red wedding dress made her skin look as white as snow and her face as rosy as a peach blossom. Yan Heng felt lustful, wanting to hold this peach blossom in his palm and kiss it gently, but also wanting to crush her.
When they were gasping for breath and pulling away, the person under him had her clothes in tatters, her lotus-like dress hanging diagonally, with the bright red rope winding and hanging loosely around her neck, revealing a spring scene like a snowy hill, and her eyes were even more charming and sparkling.
The shock of this scene was so overwhelming that all the blood in Yan Heng's body rushed to one place. He closed his eyes tightly, paused for a moment, and when he opened them again, he finally suppressed his desire.
When he looked at the person under him again, his eyes had regained clarity.
This liar is feeding the tiger with his own body.
Yan Heng looked at her coldly as she exposed her most delicate appearance without any defense, and thought maliciously.
Ji Yunchan saw that he clearly looked like he couldn't control himself, but he stopped midway and restrained himself tightly, feeling uneasy.
Then she reached around Yan Heng to untie his belt, her voice softening: "Ah Heng."
"Don't call me that."
At this time, the voice also became cold, and it didn't sound intimate at all.
Just like a basin of cold water was poured on her, the little flame of courage in Ji Yunchan's heart was extinguished, her hands stopped moving, and her eyes became timid.
Yan Heng's heart ached.
When he realized this, he lowered his eyelashes to hide the self-mockery in his eyes.
After doing so many things to deceive others, I can no longer tell the truth from the false.
If you don't love her, why go to so much trouble to tie her to your side?
So he nuzzled Ji Yunchan's nose as if no one was around, his gesture almost gentle, and encouraged her, "Keep solving it."
Ji Yunchan was shocked and puzzled, but continued with her actions.
Yan Heng rubbed her ears twice and said lovingly, "You're so good."
Ji Yunchan's ears turned red from being pinched, and her face was also flushed.
Yan Heng gently kissed her eyelashes, cheeks, and nose tip with his lips, and the atmosphere gradually became more ambiguous.
But then an untimely "grunt" sound was heard.
Both of them were stunned for a moment. Yan Heng stood up with confusion, but saw that Ji Yunchan's ears were red as if bleeding, and she avoided his sight in panic.
The moment Ji Yunchan heard her stomach rumbling, she felt ashamed and angry.
Yan Heng's mind was torn between inner and outer conflict, but he had never imagined such a situation. He asked tentatively, "Are you hungry?"
Ji Yunchan did not respond, and turned her head to the side, unable to face him.
Looking at her like this, Yan Heng felt that she was scheming but helpless. Only at this moment did he feel very close to her, and therefore found her cute.
His eyes fell on her slender waist and abdomen. There was not much flesh there, and it was sunken downwards, and it was obvious that her belly was empty.
As if in response to what Yan Heng was thinking, another "gurgle" sound was heard.
The person under him couldn't pretend anymore and stammered "hmm".
"Eat when you're hungry."
Yan Heng's eyes hid a smile, but his voice was still as low and deep as usual. He asked strangely, "How could you be hungry? I prepared food for you but you won't eat it. Don't you like it?"
"no......"
Ji Yunchan was unable to speak, so she stood up with her head lowered, not daring to look at Yan Heng.
I was just too tense and cautious, so tense that I didn't feel hungry, but I didn't dare to eat.
She gathered her clothes and sat on the embroidered stool beside the table. Just as she was about to take the food, she heard someone behind her speak slowly, "If you don't like it, just leave it there and ask someone to make you something new."
Ji Yunchan shook her head, "I can't eat much."
She reached out and took a piece of wedding cake, then paused, turning her head cautiously and concernedly: "General, you have drunk some wine, but have you eaten yet? Do you want to share some?"
Yan Heng glanced at her and said calmly, "You seem to be concerned about me."
Ji Yunchan pursed her lips, her eyelashes drooped and trembled, and she spoke softly: "I just want to care about the general."
Yan Heng sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her scrutinizingly.
She was still feeling wronged. Wasn't he telling the truth? She threw his sincerity away like a worn-out shoe. What's wrong with saying it? He looked at her trembling eyelashes and thought coldly.
No matter how unpleasant it is, it was her own fault.
Watching her head lower and lower, Yan Heng gritted his teeth, thinking fiercely that he was just...
"I've eaten."
He said coldly with a sour face: "Eat it by yourself."
Ji Yunchan nodded obediently, turned around and went to eat obediently.
Yan Heng stared at Ji Yunchan's head. While he was sulking with himself, his mind somehow turned to whether her concern for him was real or not...
After coming back to my senses, I almost laughed at myself.
He clenched his fists in one breath and wanted to hit the bedpost, but stopped halfway because he was afraid that Ji Yunchan would hear it.
He was so out of breath that he stood up suddenly, strode to the table and sat down heavily. Under Ji Yunchan's gaze, he poured himself a full cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
Ji Yunchan was confused by his behavior and stopped eating the wedding cake. She carefully picked up the teapot and filled his cup, then asked tentatively, "General, would you like to have some..."
As he said that, he pushed the plate towards him.
Yan Heng looked at the cup of tea with ripples on the surface, feeling mixed emotions.
He said expressionlessly: "Eat yours, don't worry about me."
Ji Yunchan withdrew her hand, picked up the wedding cake she had not finished, and ate it in small bites.
Yan Heng stared at the cup of tea for a long while. When the surface of the tea returned to calm, he looked up and watched Ji Yunchan eat without blinking.
His eyes were fixed on Ji Yunchan, making her unable to eat.
She put the food into her mouth slower and slower, and chewed it slower and slower.
Yan Heng frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Eat, why don't you eat anymore?"
Ji Yunchan didn't have a big appetite to begin with, and after eating two wedding cakes, she was already about eight-tenths full, so she said, "I can't eat anymore."
I got a blunt response: "Cats eat more than you."
……..
Ji Yunchan looked at Yan Heng innocently, thought about it, and nodded obediently.
She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it, now completely full. She stood up and gently placed her hand on Yan Heng's, which had fallen on the table.
The hand was delicate and smooth, and the chilblains on the fingers had already healed. Now, as he traced down between Yan Heng's rough fingers, he could truly feel the softness of the fingers.
Could it be that a woman's hands were so delicate and boneless? Yan Heng rubbed them with his fingertips and was still surprised.
When he reacted, Ji Yunchan was in his arms.
When their eyes met, she looked at him lovingly, "General, it's time for us to go to bed."
Yan Heng only felt that her whole body was soft. The girl in his arms was his sweetheart, and tonight was his wedding night.
Desire arose instantly, Yan Heng's breathing became heavy, he picked up the girl in his arms and walked towards the bed.
