Chu Changning bit him almost instinctively.
But then I realized I was just pretending to sleep.
She cursed inwardly, but feigned confusion as she opened her eyes and met his gaze directly.
Her alluring willow-leaf eyes were hazy, and her red lips, glistening with color, obediently licked his fingers.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
His Adam's apple bobbed, his voice hoarse, "Not pretending to be dead anymore?"
Chu Changning's heart skipped a beat. She spat out his finger and asked, feigning confusion.
"Are we going to our ancestral home?"
No rush.
After saying that, he leaned down and sealed her lips with his.
Cool lips explored and entwined in the mouth.
Those cold hands untied her belt and slipped inside to caress her slender waist.
He acted too quickly; before she could stop him, he stripped her naked.
Chu Changning rolled her eyes at him in anger.
They were acting so proper in public just now, but now their true nature has been revealed.
Soft, lingering kisses landed on her lips, nibbling at her neck and collarbone.
She turned her head away slightly, panting, "Don't press down on me."
Yan Beimo placed his hands on either side of her, not pressing her down at all.
Hearing her call, he immediately lay down on his side and lifted her onto his lap.
Chu Changning cursed him inwardly as he was being manipulated like this.
Even if he were to become emperor, he would be a foolish ruler.
Yan Beimo glanced at her and chuckled, "What are you cursing me for?"
"---"
Her body was limp and powerless, and broken moans escaped her lips; she paid no attention to him.
He wasn't angry; he held her body and kneaded it, admiring her alluring beauty.
"She's most obedient in bed."
Chu Changning ignored his teasing, exhausted, and nestled in his arms. Looking at his impeccably dressed appearance, she kicked his robes in dissatisfaction.
Yan Beimo grabbed her hand and started to undo her belt.
She tilted her pale face up and said in a strained voice, "I'm so tired."
What about this one?
Cool fingertips brushed against her lips.
Chu Changning immediately shut his mouth.
Yan Beimo hugged her waist tightly and hissed in her ear.
“.
Pervert.
In early winter, red plum blossoms rustled and fell onto the window frames in the garden, and birds on the branches chirped and twittered as they listened to the sweet sounds coming from inside.
Chu Changning didn't know how long he had been tormented, and he lay limply on the soft couch, unable to move.
Yan Beimo didn't take off his clothes, and looking completely respectable, it was impossible to tell what he had just done.
She rolled her eyes at him, grabbed a handkerchief, wiped herself haphazardly, and got up to wash up.
"do what?"
Chu Changning gritted his teeth, "Take a bath and wash yourself clean."
Yan Beimo glanced at her, bent down, picked her up horizontally, and carried her to the washroom at the back.
By the time the two finished washing up and changed their clothes, the sun was already high in the sky.
The Yan family ruled over all the prominent families in the land. As soon as the news of the old lady Yan's poor health spread, the ladies and young women of the prominent families came to visit her.
When Chu Changning and his group arrived, a group of ladies from prominent families were sitting inside the room.
The old lady was reclining on a small couch in the room, dazed as she dealt with everyone, while a maidservant behind her massaged her forehead.
When the ladies saw that it was Yan Beimo, they stood up and bowed.
The aristocratic family had many rules and regulations, and men and women were separated. Madam Ronghua invited the other ladies to sit in the outer room, leaving the younger generation who had not yet come of age to keep them company.
"Grandson greets his grandmother."
Yan Beimo stepped forward and bowed gently.
The old lady had a strained relationship with her husband when she was young.
The old master liked Yan Beimo, so she disliked him and never got close to him. Later, when Yan Shike favored his concubine over his wife and disregarded the rights and wrongs of legitimate and illegitimate children, she finally started to take this grandson seriously.
For twelve years, he spent his time in the northern desert of Yan, living in Chaoge in the north and never returning to Yandu. When he did return, although he was upright and gentle, he was very distant from them.
Indeed, in these aristocratic families, kinship is nothing more than a superficial layer. The scions of these families, who are born with a strong sense of profit, are cold-hearted by nature.
However, the old lady was quite satisfied because he did not do anything outrageous after taking office, nor did he harm her maternal relatives.
She propped herself up and smiled, "I'm here."
After saying that, he saw Chu Changning behind him and his face immediately turned ugly.
Chu Changning inwardly curled her lip, but outwardly said respectfully, "Greetings, Grandmother."
The old lady glanced at Yan Beimo warily, then said nothing more.
Lately, for some reason, she has been waking up in a daze at night, and occasionally experiencing angina. The imperial physicians have come, but they couldn't find anything wrong. They just told her to rest and drink some nourishing soup.
She was so tormented that she couldn't care less about anything else, and spent her days holed up in the house, quietly recuperating.
Therefore, seeing Chu Changning, she no longer had the mind to torment her; out of sight, out of mind.
She waved casually.
"Go outside and sit down. I want to have a private chat with my dear grandson."
"yes."
Chu Changning couldn't be bothered to listen to the hypocritical words of the aristocratic families, and turned to leave.
Inside the outer hall sat many ladies and young women from upper-class families. When she slowly walked out, all eyes turned to her, and they looked at her with all sorts of expressions.
The Southern Dynasty has been gone for so long, yet the Yan family hasn't killed this princess of a fallen kingdom; they must be quite capable.
The former emperor truly had foresight, using the power of 100,000 troops to exchange for a good husband for Princess Jinling, whose kingdom had fallen.
Yan Er is now the head of a powerful family, and his military power is enough to sweep across the entire Nine Provinces.
In powerful and aristocratic families like theirs, the head of the family is the best protector.
With Yan Er's protection, not to mention the capital, even in Yandu, no one dared to do anything to Jinling.
Chu Changning had no idea what everyone was thinking. When she heard Madam Ronghua call her over, she gracefully walked over.
"Mother."
“Pregnant women are more delicate. What are you standing for? Sit down quickly.”
Madam Ronghua smiled and pulled her to sit down.
As Chu Changning was being pulled along so earnestly, he couldn't help but recall the time she locked him in the ancestral hall, and his lips twitched.
"Jinling is pregnant, what a blessing."
A lady looked over with a smile.
Although the ladies present were all a generation older than her, they couldn't argue with Yan Bei Mo, who was the head of a powerful family, so on the surface they all had to behave properly.
Chu Changning smiled and nodded, without saying anything.
At this moment, not far from the main hall outside, the second master of the Yan family, who was greeting guests in the front yard, led his sons and grandsons through the gate and into the house to visit them.
When the ladies saw this, they praised his filial piety once again.
Chu Changning was too lazy to listen to their hypocrisy, so he made an excuse that he was feeling unwell and went outside.
She was wearing a red fox fur coat and walking in the pavilion outside the garden. Just as she rounded the archway, she heard a clear, crisp sound.
"Changning".
Chu Changning turned around and saw Xie Rongyue waving at her from behind the artificial hill, trembling.
"Rongyue, what are you doing here?"
She glanced around hesitantly, then slowly walked over.
Xie Rongyue came with the mistress of the mansion. She was accidentally pushed into the lake in the front garden and was worried that she didn't dare to go out to change her clothes.
"Changning, can you help me find some clothes? I can't go out looking like this."
Seeing that she was soaked and shivering from the cold, Chu Changning quickly took off his fox fur coat and wrapped it around her.
How did you get into such a mess?
Xie Rongyue sighed. "I'm here to break off the engagement with my cousin in the manor."
