Chapter 41 Madam, Thank You for Marrying Me
She turned to look at Chen Zhao, and a fierce look appeared on the young man's face. Thinking of everything that happened that night, Gu Yao's face turned red and she turned around and ran away.
But before she could escape, she was caught. The man's dry and warm palm completely wrapped her hand.
"Gu Yao, let's talk."
The red silk spread out, and there was noise and joy all the way, and the sedan finally landed.
Chen Yuan's heart became extremely uneasy. Her vision was limited because of the veil covering her head. She could only see a corner of the sedan chair curtain being lifted and a strong, thin and slender hand reaching out to her.
Her heart beat faster, and the moment she put her hand into Gu Huailing's, the man held it firmly.
"Don't be nervous, Yuan." Gu Huailing said softly.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but once he did, Shen Yuan became even more nervous.
Gu Huailing had a smile on his face as he held her hand and walked into the mansion. He held her hand all the way from crossing the fire basin to the worship hall.
After paying homage to the bridal chamber, Shen Yuan was sent into the bridal chamber.
Gu Huailing looked at the little girl lying on the bed with her back straight. He couldn't help but chuckle and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "Madam, wait for me."
Chen Yuan's face turned red all of a sudden, and the footsteps gradually faded away. Gu Huailing was going to the front yard to entertain the guests.
The door creaked open, and Shen Yuan looked forward through the veil, "Sir, why are you back so soon?"
"Sister-in-law, it's me." Gu Yao took a soft silk package and stuffed it into Shen Yuan's hand, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the wedding gift I prepared for you and big brother. Remember to wait until big brother comes back before opening it."
Gu Yao was mysterious, and Chen Yuan asked her several times but she refused to say anything, so they gave up.
The house was burning with the finest dragon and phoenix candles and incense. When the door was pushed open again, she was already very sleepy.
The cool scent of ink wrapped in the aroma of wine came, and Chen Yuan suddenly woke up. She unconsciously held the package given to her by Gu Yao in her hand, and she looked a little embarrassed.
"Madam, I'm back." Gu Huailing lifted up Shen Yuan's veil, and the person under the phoenix crown and bridal robe was so beautiful that it made people's heart tremble.
Gu Huailing's eyes were almost glued to Shen Yuan's face. He sat down next to Shen Yuan, and the two drank the wedding wine. Then they cut off their black hair and wrapped it with red thread.
Gu Huailing put the couple's wedding gift into a purse and looked at her tenderly, "We are married as husband and wife, and our love is unquestionable."
Shen Yuan nodded under his gaze.
"You must be hungry. Let's eat first." He took Shen Yuan's hand and walked towards the table.
Chen Yuan ate in small bites, and Gu Huailing was not in a hurry. He just leaned his head and watched her quietly from the side.
Perhaps it was because of the drinking, but Gu Huailing looked carefree and unfocused today, his aura completely different from usual.
After Chen Yuan finished eating and put down her chopsticks, Gu Huailing looked at her with soft eyebrows and deep eyes, "Are you full?"
Chen Yuan nodded, Gu Huailing took her hand, and the two walked towards the inner room.
Gu Huailing hugged Chen Yuan and leaned over to kiss her. It was just a light kiss, but it contained all his tenderness.
He looked at her devoutly and said, "Madam, thank you for marrying me. Thank you for marrying such a boring person like me."
"Sir." Shen Yuan looked at him tremblingly.
Gu Huailing couldn't bear it any longer, he gently took off the phoenix crown for her, held her in his arms and kissed her again.
Chen Yuan was enveloped by Gu Huailing's aura, and her entire face flushed.
"I haven't showered yet." Shen Yuan pushed Gu Huailing away in a trance.
Gu Huailing looked at the woman's hurried back and followed her slowly, but he didn't ask her to take a bath with him. Instead, he served her as a matter of course.
Anyway, the night is still long.
During the entire bathing process, Shen Yuan felt like she was on fire.
As soon as she finished wiping her hair, she was picked up by the waist, and Shen Yuan subconsciously hugged Gu Huailing's neck.
Under the red brocade quilt, Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing with her wet eyes. What Gu Huailing loved most was her moist eyes.
He stared at her, his dark eyes looking into her depths.
For some reason, Chen Yuan suddenly became extremely nervous when she saw Gu Huailing like this. She was not unfamiliar with what was going to happen next, but she was still nervous.
Chen Yuan remembered the package Gu Yao had given her. She sat up and picked it up. "Yao'er said this is our wedding gift and she wanted us to open it together."
Gu Huailing's eyes were urging, but his expression was normal.
The package was tied a little too tightly, and Shen Yuan tried to untie it several times but couldn't.
Gu Huailing held her hand and quickly opened it.
The contents inside made Shen Yuan blush.
He hurriedly reached out to grab it, but Gu Huailing was one step ahead and raised the thing to a height that Shen Yuan could not reach.
Chen Yuan looked at the gauze in Gu Huailing's hand and felt like her face was burning.
She pounced on him without thinking.
This pounce happened to knock Gu Huailing down.
The color in Gu Huailing's eyes gradually became darker, and his snow-white face was stained with love and desire.
He pinched the piece of cloth and whispered in Shen Yuan's ear in a low voice, "Yaoyao, put it on for me to see."
The dragon and phoenix candles burned quietly, and occasionally the crying voice of a woman and the gentle coaxing of a man could be heard from behind the red gauze curtain.
When Chen Yuan woke up the next day, it was already bright outside and Gu Huailing was no longer by her side.
Her waist felt like it was broken and her whole body ached.
The scene of last night kept lingering in Shen Yuan's eyes. She never knew that someone who was always cold and reserved would be like this when he fell in love.
Those hot and scorching scenes almost buried her.
Her body felt very fresh, as if she had been washed. She remembered that Gu Huailing carried her to the bathroom before she fell asleep.
Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something, she sat up and looked for the culprits on the bed.
"What are you looking for, Madam?" Gu Huailing walked in from the outer room and asked deliberately when he saw the woman rummaging through the bed.
Shen Yuan glared at him softly, without much deterrence.
Gu Huailing pulled the person out of the quilt, and when he saw the red mark on the woman's neck, his eyes darkened.
He knew he had gone too far last night. Gu Huailing coughed lightly and asked, "Should we call the palace doctor?"
"Why are you calling the court doctor?" Chen Yuan blushed so much that she stuttered.
She glanced outside at the sky and said, "Ask Taozi to come in and help me wash up. I'll have to serve tea later. Don't be late."
Gu Huailing remained motionless. He stared at her patiently and said, "Grandmother forgave me and specifically instructed me to return for tea in three days. Don't you really need to call the court physician? Then why did you keep crying out in pain last night?"
Shen Yuan's cheeks, which had just faded red, began to burn again. Her eyes flickered and she stopped looking at Gu Huailing. She tried to speak in a steady tone and said, "It's really okay. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Gu Huailing was still worried, but he didn't ask her any more questions and just called Taozi in.
Knowing that Chen Yuan was thin-skinned, he went to the palace doctor to get medicine.
After getting dressed, Chen Yuan pushed the door open and walked out. Shen Du Yuan was very quiet but decorated in a festive manner.
The hibiscus flowers in the yard made Shen Yuan dazzled.
"Why are there so many flowers?" Shen Yuan was a little surprised.
Taozi looked at her daughter, genuinely happy. She pointed at the flowers and said, "Madam, you don't know, but these were specially prepared for you by the Prime Minister. Before the wedding, he asked me what flowers I like. Look at those hibiscus plants, he even went to the palace to dig them up. It shows how much the Prime Minister cares about you."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is indeed very kind to her, and I will treat him the same way in the future."
