Chapter 727
“Those people outside are too troublesome. I asked Jingyuan to hold them off for me. I wanted to come back and see you first,” Shen Rang said. “I’ll ask Jixiang to help you take off your clothes. If you can’t hold on, you can rest first. You don’t need to wait for me.”
After saying that, Shen Rang leaned forward, kissed her lips, and then quickly withdrew.
Such a superficial attempt is certainly not what Shen Rang wanted.
But he dared not linger, fearing he might lose control.
Huo Zhao's ears were completely red, and she nodded.
Shen Rang finally looked away reluctantly and turned to leave.
No sooner had Shen Rang left than Ji Xiang arrived with Le An.
On this day, Jixiang stayed by her side, while Le'an was outside arranging her dowry. She not only had to use her brain, but sometimes she also had to carry it herself. She was even more tired than Jixiang, and her steps were already weak.
After letting Le'an eat something, she removed Huo Zhao's elaborate hairpins and heavy clothes.
When Huo Zhao came out of the bath, the food in the bedroom had been removed, and even the smell of the greasy food had been dispelled, replaced by a faint fragrance.
The incense seemed to have a calming and sleep-inducing effect. Huo Zhao yawned, glanced at the sky outside, and ultimately decided not to wait for Shen Rang any longer.
I'm going to sleep now.
I thought that after such a long day, and with this wonderful fragrance, I would have a very good sleep.
But that's not the case.
I don't know how much time passed, but it seems she was moved from the stable bed to the boat.
As he swayed, Huo Zhao instinctively gripped the pillow and opened his eyes.
Inside the room, dragon and phoenix candles were burning. Although the candlelight was dim, it was enough for Huo Zhao to recognize Shen Rang.
Shen Rang's face was flushed, and he carried a faint dampness and the fragrance of a bath, but even so, he still couldn't suppress the smell of alcohol.
"woke up."
Shen Rang's voice was low and hoarse, filled with intense desire.
Realizing what he was doing, Huo Zhao's face instantly turned bright red: "You—"
"Our wedding night is the most important event of the day," Shen Rang said, bending down. "Now that my wife is awake, I will not stand on ceremony."
Huo Zhao wanted to say something more, but all that came out of his mouth was an embarrassing breath.
Huo Zhao simply turned his head away, but Shen Rang grabbed his chin and turned him back: "Madam, you look so beautiful."
——
Huo Zhao woke up with a start early in the morning.
As she was sleeping, she suddenly remembered that today was her first day marrying into the Marquis's mansion.
According to custom, she had to pay her respects to Shen Jun and Madam Zheng.
As soon as Huo Zhao made a movement, Shen Rang also woke up: "What's wrong?"
"You should go and pay your respects to your father and mother."
As Huo Zhao spoke, he prepared to get up.
But before she could make a move, Shen Rang pulled her back into his arms.
"Father and Mother have already said that we don't need to observe these formalities. We can go over whenever we wake up."
Huo Zhao blinked: "When did you say that?"
“Before you came in,” Shen Rang chuckled softly, “your father and mother repeatedly told you not to disturb your rest.”
His smile was ambiguous, and Huo Zhao couldn't help but think of last night.
Thinking about this, Huo Zhao felt both ashamed and angry.
She was clearly asleep, yet he still—
Huo Zhao covered his face, trying to banish the scene from last night from his mind.
But the person who started this is right next to her, how can she possibly get her way?
Shen Rang not only felt no shame, but even began to reminisce: "No matter when, the lady is always so charming."
Huo Zhao couldn't bear it any longer and raised his hand to cover his mouth, but Shen Rang hugged him and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
