Yan Jue had thought it over and over, but he never expected Shen Pingjin's answer to be like this.
His gaze was complicated, and for some reason, he started to dwell on it again, "If someone else were to get married today besides me, would you also try to marry someone else?"
The girl in his eyes had a firm expression, and her face remained unchanged. "Of course not. If I, Chen Pingjin, am to marry, I will marry the most fickle man in the world."
Yan Jue was taken aback.
I almost forgot, he's now known as a notorious playboy among the people of Beijing.
But nowadays, don't all women want a lifelong, monogamous relationship? Why is it just her...?
Shen Pingjin didn't want to waste any more words. She tugged at Yan Jue's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Husband, do you know what will happen tomorrow if we continue talking tonight?"
Yan Jue indeed changed the subject, "Tomorrow?"
Chen Pingjin nodded vigorously.
Looking into the girl's bright eyes, Yan Jue frowned slightly. "People in the capital will say you're confused."
Hmph, the Crown Princess, who was the center of attention, has suddenly become the Regent's Wife, who is not valued. Anyone who doesn't know the truth would say she's foolish.
But Shen Pingjin didn't want to talk about that. She tightened her grip on Yan Jue's sleeve and said seriously, "No, my husband, what I want to say is that it's time for our wedding night."
Shen Pingjin noticed that the man's body trembled slightly when she said this.
It seemed unbelievable.
Taking advantage of her victory, Shen Pingjin said coquettishly, "Husband, Ruixue can no longer be your wife. Don't you really cherish this wedding night?"
The woman in front of him was pretty and had a soft, sweet voice that seemed to drip water. This was a look he had never seen before.
Yan Jue was never one to suppress his emotions. His gaze darkened slightly as he grabbed the woman's shoulders. "Are you really that eager to consummate your marriage with me?"
Contrary to expectations, Chen Pingjin nodded generously, "Husband, it's absolutely true."
The temperature in the room rose as soon as Chen Pingjin said those words.
Yan Jueqing couldn't help but swallow hard. Suddenly, he saw the fair wrist and neck of the smiling girl in red in front of him.
He felt his heart pounding in his chest. The girl in front of him was the one he had been coveting for so long.
His sleeve was hooked by slender, fair fingers, and Yan Jue was pulled by Chen Pingjin, feeling as if he were floating, as they landed on the bright red wedding bed.
Before him, Chen Pingjin's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her eyes held the gentle warmth of spring water. For a moment, Yan Jue was captivated.
If she truly wants to marry me...
Yan Jue felt a surge of joy welling up inside him, as if he were standing on the shore, about to be swallowed up by the tide.
It felt like a dream.
But Chen Pingjin didn't think that far ahead.
She just wanted to pull Yan Jue to bed, but she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move the regent.
Shen Pingjin was very puzzled. She called out softly, "Husband?"
Lost in his own fantasy, Yan Jue suddenly smiled blankly. Chen Pingjin was somewhat puzzled by his expression. "Husband?"
The word "husband" brought Yan Jue back to his senses. Yan Jue was somewhat stunned. "What do you want with me?"
Shen Pingjin was taken aback, then smiled slightly and hooked her small hand around Yan Jue's chin. "Husband, what were you thinking about just now? I called you several times, but you didn't hear me."
The woman's voice was full of teasing, but Yan Jue actually started to think.
She just...called me a lot?
Suddenly realizing what he had just been thinking, Yan Jue's ears turned bright red. "I was wondering why Miss Shen is so unrestrained."
There are even more unrestrained ones.
Chen Pingjin said, "Now that the Regent is my husband, I will naturally show this side of myself in front of him."
"So that's how it is." Yan Jue said in a daze.
In Shen Pingjin's eyes, his dazed appearance made him look like a simpleton.
Shen Pingjin smiled and shook her head, then reached out to untie the regent's belt.
Yan Jue was taken aback. "What is Miss Chen doing?"
Shen Pingjin said very naturally, "I will undress my husband and then we will go into the bridal chamber."
The words "bridal chamber" are too easy to evoke endless fantasies, especially when the person standing in front of you is the one you've been longing for day and night.
He compromised.
Seeing Shen Pingjin's puzzled expression, Yan Jue knew that he was probably overthinking things. Of course... he had known Shen Pingjin for so many years, how could he not understand her personality and how she behaved?
Yan Jue nodded. "It's nothing. I misspoke just now."
This left Shen Pingjin even more confused. She was puzzled, but she was never one to pry into things. Since he said it was nothing, then perhaps it really was nothing.
After thinking for a while, Shen Pingjin felt it was necessary to be upfront about the unpleasant things first, "Husband, my marriage to you today may seem like an accident to outsiders, but what's done is done, and there's no going back."
Yan Jue frowned slightly upon hearing what she said. "What are you trying to say?"
Shen Pingjin did not hesitate and continued, "Everyone says you are a playboy and a womanizer. I don't care what you were like before, but now that you're married to me, you should restrain yourself a little. Just don't bring those women to dazzle me."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jue's voice became noticeably hurried, "You mean, we're just husband and wife in name only?"
"Not bad, a smart person." Shen Pingjin nodded in satisfaction.
Although she knew that Yan Jue must have had different feelings for her in her past life, she couldn't be sure when those feelings started, so she couldn't let herself be completely passive.
However, Shen Pingjin felt that her first choice upon returning—to marry Yan Jue—was the right one.
She looked at Yan Jue, waiting for the regent's reply.
Yan Jue didn't know what he was thinking. He felt as if his heart, which had been pounding with excitement, had been doused with cold water. He knew that what Shen Pingjin had just said was just a joke.
After all, he had personally witnessed how Shen Pingjin treated Su Xuanmao.
That kind of bright, sunny love can be seen in the eyes.
My heart is filled with bitterness.
But he had to keep these feelings hidden in his heart. On the surface, Yan Jue still appeared indifferent. Seeing Shen Pingjin nod, he nodded as well. "I have no opinion on this matter. But you must remember, after tonight, you will be my queen. In the eyes of outsiders, you should have married His Highness the Crown Prince as his queen, but now you have become the infamous regent's queen. Can you really not care about other people's opinions? You won't regret it?"
How could Shen Pingjin not have considered such a thing? With a firm look in her eyes, Shen Pingjin looked at Yan Jue and nodded heavily, "I have no regrets. But if anyone comes from the palace tomorrow, I ask the Regent to cooperate with me."
Since they are already husband and wife, they share both glory and loss. Moreover, Yan Jue already harbors ill intentions towards Shen Pingjin, so he is naturally very willing to help, but he cannot show it on his face!
Yan Jue said, "I can cooperate with you, but you have to sign an agreement with me!"
Chen Pingjin frowned. "What agreement?"
