Chapter 612 He is Jiang Fenghua's husband
Jiang Fenghua realized that he was lying to her when she saw his attentive and careful manner. Why would he make up lies to deceive her?
Xie Shang wanted to take revenge on her, to use his deep affection to ensnare her. His purpose in coming to her was to make her fall in love with him, and then abandon her, leaving her heartbroken.
Xie Shang once said that she didn't like him in the past, which is why she ran away from the wedding.
No wonder he kept asking her if she liked him; now I understand.
These past few days, she's been thinking about all sorts of scripts, imagining all the romantic love stories from traditional storybooks applied to their lives.
She had even read about the emperors of various dynasties who had one or more romantic affairs when they went out of the palace for leisure or made incognito visits, and she was one of their romantic affairs.
He acted with great enthusiasm.
Thinking of all this, Jiang Fenghua gritted her teeth. He dared to lie to her, so why couldn't she lie to him?
At this moment, Xie Shang somehow produced a bowl of fresh and delicious fish soup and handed it to her, saying, "Ruan Ruan, drink the fish soup to nourish your body."
His face was inches away from hers, exceptionally handsome, his eyes full of doting and sincerity, but to Jiang Fenghua, they were full of scheming and plotting. Because of her sore throat, she couldn't argue, so she took the fish soup and prepared to drink it. She shouldn't get angry at her own body; she needed to replenish her nutrition.
He smiled slightly, his voice even more magnetic and alluring, "I'll feed you, my husband."
The first sip of fish soup she took was light and refreshing, not fishy at all. Where did he get the fish on such a cold day?
She asked, "Did you cook this?"
“Taking care of Ruan Ruan is my responsibility as her husband, so naturally I have to do it myself. I'll definitely cook it. You've been taking medicine for several days, and your mouth must be tasteless! Today it's fish soup, tomorrow it's chicken soup. You must take good care of your health.”
As he rambled on, Jiang Fenghua took the fish soup and said, "I'll drink it myself, thank you."
Her throat wasn't so sore anymore, and her voice wasn't hoarse. She was quite touched that someone had taken such good care of her while she was sick.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Shang prepared hot water to help her wipe her mouth and wash her hands, but she quickly took the handkerchief and said, "I can do it myself."
Xie Shang smiled and said, "I washed you for the past few days and you didn't refuse. Now that you're feeling a bit better, you're not happy about it anymore."
As he was saying this, he reached out to help her wash, but Jiang Fenghua quickly stepped aside.
A few days ago, she was sick and unable to speak, so Lin Yu kept her distance. When Xie Shang tried to take action, she couldn't overpower him and didn't have the strength to do so, so she simply let him do it for her.
She had been recuperating, and Xie Shang hadn't mentioned setting off back to the capital. They just stayed at the inn. Given her physical condition at the time, if she didn't recover before setting off, her condition would probably worsen, and developing a chronic illness would be a lifelong problem. These were the words Xie Shang had spoken to her.
During those days, he kept talking, and she kept listening.
She couldn't help but ask, "When will we set off back to Shengjing?"
He said, "No rush, go back when you're better. Your health is the most important thing."
"I'm all better now, I want to go home," she said.
Xie Shang said, "Let him rest a little longer."
It was snowing heavily outside, and it was so cold that she couldn't leave even if she wanted to. She climbed back into bed, covered herself with the blanket, turned her back to Xie Shang, closed her eyes, and didn't say a word. Since that was the case, she wouldn't ask anymore and would see how long he could keep up the act.
Jiang Jinyan didn't seem to tell him that she already knew he was the emperor.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Shang leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Why are you suddenly not talking? You've seemed preoccupied these past few days."
His sudden closeness made Jiang Fenghua a little nervous, and she avoided his touch, saying, "I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep."
Xie Shang knew she was making excuses. Why would she sleep in the middle of the day? He curled his lips and said, "I'm sleepy too. I want to sleep."
Jiang Fenghua habitually moved over to make way. Xie Shang had always shared a bed with her, and he had always managed to restrain himself from doing anything inappropriate, so she didn't think much of it.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and became restless. His masculine scent sprayed on her neck, making her feel tingly and numb. It was as if he knew her sensitive spots and wanted to arouse her desire.
Without her consent, he kissed her lips directly. Jiang Fenghua instinctively tried to dodge, but he pressed on. The more passionately he kissed her, the more she wanted to slap herself. She didn't refuse his kiss; in fact, she liked it very much.
Seeing that she did not object, Xie Shang kissed her even more passionately.
Human desires are truly perplexing. "When people are well-fed and clothed, they think of lustful desires." He only dared to think of lustful desires after she recovered from her illness.
The consequence of his kiss was that he was tormented by her, his body burning with desire and his blood surging. His voice rang in her ear, "Ruan Ruan, have you fallen in love with me now?"
His words sounded like he was asking if he could proceed to the next step.
Jiang Fenghua was also confused and infatuated. She didn't care whether he was Prince Heng or the Emperor. He had successfully ignited her desire, and she suddenly asked him, "Who are you?"
“I am Xie Shang, Jiang Fenghua’s husband.”
Are we husband and wife?
Xie Shang replied, "Yes."
She said, "Aren't I your fiancée? How did we become husband and wife? I don't want to marry you anymore. I'm going home to break off the engagement."
Xie Shang also came to her senses. Her bright eyes were fixed on his face. Just a moment ago, they were clearly very affectionate. He thought she had fallen in love with him. He said, "You still don't want to?"
“I don’t want to,” she said.
Xie Shang looked at the two of them in their ambiguous posture. Her swollen lips were proof of their love, and her eyes were even full of desire. She hadn't rejected him just now!
"You really don't like me? You clearly said you liked me last time, how can you be so fickle?" Xie Shang continued, "No, you clearly already liked me, why are you saying this now? What happened?"
Jiang Fenghua pushed him away and got out of bed. Her face was flushed and her heart was pounding. She had just felt his body react, and now all she wanted to do was run away.
Xie Shang grew anxious, "Jiang Fenghua, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean by lying to me? I mean it exactly," she said with a slight smile. "Isn't my name Ruan Ruan? Why are you calling me by my first name now?"
Xie Shang was stunned.
She raised the corner of her lips. "You can take your time to cool down! I'm not playing along with you anymore."
"Were you playing with me just now? You did it on purpose?"
Xie Shang watched her walk out of the room. She had recovered from her illness and was now turning her back on him.
He was so angry he was about to die, but he didn't dare to move. He had never been so humiliated in his life. He was disgusted with his own disheveled appearance.
Jiang Fenghua, blushing and with a pounding heart, ran out of the room and bumped right into Bai Yuhan.
"Ah Ruan, why is your face so red? You've been sick for several days now, are you still not better?" Bai Yuhan asked with concern.
"I'm not fully recovered yet." Jiang Fenghua blushed not because she wasn't better, but because of Xie Shang. She then asked, "What delicious food are you carrying?"
Seeing her expression, Bai Yuhan didn't expose her, saying, "Fresh fish soup."
Did you cook this?
"The innkeeper's wife cooked it. I don't know where she got the fish from, there's so much of it. We're all eating fish today, I'll take some over to Lord Jiang."
Jiang Fenghua lifted the lid and smelled it. It was the same as the drink Xie Shang had given her. Xie Shang lied to her that he had cooked it. He was shameless. If he was such a good actor, why didn't he go into acting?
Seeing that she was in a daze, Bai Yuhan didn't dare to say anything more to her and left directly.
