Chapter 13
In the days that followed, Rong Rong focused on recovering from her injuries and spent more and more time with Li Tianyi.
Rong Rong gradually accepted Li Tianyi's closeness, but she still couldn't find any sense of familiarity.
But Li Tianyi was gentle and considerate, and handsome and pleasing to the eye. He took meticulous care of Rong Rong, spoiling her almost to the extreme.
This made Rongrong feel comfortable with the other person, so she stopped obsessing over whether they were familiar with each other or not.
The group traveled by boat at breakneck speed toward the border of Dagan, where the only thing they encountered was water.
Finally, after enjoying a few days of lazy life being raised like a pig, Rong Rong boredly suggested going for a stroll on the shore.
Li Tianyi paused almost imperceptibly while peeling the grapes, then quickly finished peeling them and fed them to Rong Rong.
"I'll send someone to buy whatever Rongrong wants. There are too many people on the shore; it wouldn't be good if we bumped into Rongrong."
"So what if there are more people? You still can't protect me?" Rong Rong said angrily, glaring at Li Tianyi.
"Of course I can."
"That's great! No one can bother me now, I'm going shopping!"
Li Tianyi sighed helplessly and was about to persuade her again when Rong Rong turned her head sharply, avoiding the grapes he was offering to her lips. "I'm going!"
"Rongrong," Li Tianyi sighed, "your injury hasn't healed yet, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."
"No way!" Rong Rong frowned, then moved closer to Li Tianyi suspiciously, staring intently into his eyes. "I feel like we're being secretive. What are you afraid of? Or are you hiding something?"
"Rongrong still doesn't believe me?" Li Tianyi felt deeply hurt, and a surge of madness welled up inside him, almost impossible to suppress.
"It's just that I didn't protect Rongrong well last time and I was afraid she would get hurt again. However, if Rongrong really wants to go, it's not impossible, but I have a condition."
Li Tianyi smiled, like a hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait.
Sure enough, the kitten immediately took the bait, "What are the conditions?"
Rong Rong was curious, her glassy eyes wide open.
"I, your husband, will demand a reward." Li Tianyi's smile deepened.
"You want money?" Rong Rong guessed, her little hands already rummaging through her clothes.
Li Tianyi remained silent, then suddenly stood up and moved closer to Rong Rong. Under Rong Rong's surprised gaze, he lowered his head and kissed Rong Rong's red lips.
It's even sweeter and more intoxicating than I imagined.
"Huh?" Rong Rong was shocked and instinctively tried to dodge, but Li Tianyi's large hand had already firmly held the back of Rong Rong's head, preventing her from moving.
First came a gentle probing, their breaths mingled, their body temperatures rose, and Rong Rong, unable to struggle, could only obediently give in to his every whim.
Once Li Tianyi was certain that Rong Rong was no longer resisting, he finally intensified his offensive.
It was a passionate and intense kiss, and Li Tianyi's behavior was quite different from his usual gentle image.
His movements were filled with a domineering and forceful air.
Rong Rong was having trouble breathing; the air in her mouth was being scavenged bit by bit.
Just before she was about to suffocate and fall into darkness, Li Tianyi finally slowed down and returned to his usual gentleness.
Overwhelmed with love and pampering, Rong Rong was like a small boat swaying on an ocean of love, rising and falling with the waves while being warmly surrounded by it.
Before Rong Rong knew it, she had completely lost consciousness. Li Tianyi, who sensed it immediately, finally released her.
He gazed at the sleeping beauty in his arms with fascination, feeling that he could never love her enough.
"Young master, we are about to arrive in Tongcheng."
The voice of the Southern Attendant came from outside the door. Li Tianyi stared at Rong Rong without blinking and said gently, "Dock the boat and enter the city."
Nan Shi was surprised. Given their situation, it would be best for them to leave Daqian without stopping. Why would their master want to go ashore?
Before Nan Shi could figure it out, Li Tianyi said again, "Go and make preparations, the madam wants to visit Tongcheng."
"So that's how it is," Nan Shi suddenly realized.
He should have realized it sooner; only that beauty could make their master lose his mind.
However, he was truly envious of his master's good fortune. Not only did he encounter a beauty, but she also happened to have amnesia. He had unexpectedly gained a fairy-like wife, which was so lucky that it made him insanely jealous.
Nan Shi sighed deeply, wondering if it was just his imagination, but he felt that his master's voice was much gentler than usual.
When Rong Rong woke up again, she had already arrived at the Tongcheng Inn.
Rong Rong first opened her eyes and looked around, but when she saw Li Tianyi sitting next to her, she immediately closed her eyes again.
"Rongrong?" Li Tianyi called softly. Rongrong was breathing steadily, as if she were fast asleep.
“I saw it,” Li Tianyi said again.
Rong Rong remained silent, and the room fell silent again. Rong Rong was secretly pleased, as she had cleverly avoided an awkward face-to-face confrontation.
When you're relaxed, you're more likely to feel sleepy. Rong Rong, who had just woken up, quickly became sleepy again.
Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, she suddenly felt a shadow looming over her head.
"Is Rongrong closing her eyes because she's waiting for her husband to kiss her?"
Warm breath washed over her, and Rong Rong was startled. She quickly opened her eyes and met Li Tianyi's smiling gaze.
"Rongrong is awake?" Li Tianyi asked with regret.
Rong Rong pulled the blanket up to cover half of her face, leaving only her eyes peeking out. "Yes! Call Magpie in to help me change."
Li Tianyi remained motionless, staring intently at Rong Rong. He was already captivated by Rong Rong's dark eyes, which were as bright as stars—so mysterious, beautiful, dazzling, and alluring.
Unconsciously, Li Tianyi's breathing became heavier. He finally leaned down and gently kissed those eyes that captivated him.
Rong Rong held her breath, like a frightened kitten, until Li Tianyi stood up, and then she finally let out a long breath.
Li Tianyi patted Rong Rong's head with amusement, his face full of affection, "I won't tease you anymore." Then he got up and left.
Rong Rong only relaxed completely after the person left the room. She touched her slightly flushed face and was quite certain that she was not used to such excessive intimacy.
I don't know how I used to play those reckless games with Li Tianyi.
At this moment, Rong Rong seemed unaware that, subconsciously, she had already accepted the fact that she was Li Tianyi's wife.
In the afternoon, Rongrong finally got to visit the market she had been longing for.
Tongcheng is a fairly large city, with numerous vendors and bustling crowds at its market.
Wearing a veil, Rong Rong was led by the hand by Li Tianyi, followed by Nan Shi Nan Qi, Xi Que, and Du Juan. The group walked in the middle of the market.
The way they were dressed made them look like they weren't ordinary people, especially Li Tianyi and Rong Rong.
Compared to the handsome and dashing Li Tianyi, the once most sought-after young noblemen of Tongcheng have become utterly unsightly.
The woman next to her, Rong Rong, was even more slender and beautiful. Although her face was not clearly visible, her exceptional beauty bones were immediately apparent, leaving everyone stunned and realizing that they had been ignorant before.
The two people's appearance and aura made people afraid to get close, and a small vacuum naturally formed around them.
This was extremely rare in the bustling market, but Rong Rong and Li Tianyi did not notice it.
Rong Rong was focused on the dazzling array of goods on the roadside, while Li Tianyi was even more focused on Rong Rong, occasionally pulling her into his arms to help her avoid uneven surfaces.
