Chapter 110 My Wife is Overthinking It
Wen Zhiming brought out a bathtub from somewhere and put Meng Lingge in it without saying a word.
"I've been missing my wife so much I'm almost going crazy. I've endured so much hardship for your safety. Now that you've gone to the trouble of seeing me, of course I must serve you well."
The water temperature was just right, and steam filled the air.
Seeing Wen Zhiming walk naked into the bathtub, Meng Lingge's heart raced, and her eyes darted around, unsure where to look.
Wen Zhiming stepped forward and approached her, leaning down beside her and gently applying the scented soap to her.
"My wife, you must have had a tough time before. I mean, when I was afflicted by the Gu worms, I was often unreasonable and made endless demands. Even though you are my wife, you had to take care of me and protect me in every way, like taking care of a child. It must have been very tiring."
His eyes were calm, but his words were cautious and tinged with disappointment.
It seems that the heartless words Meng Lingge had to say when she removed the curse from him were ultimately taken to heart by him.
Meng Lingge stepped forward and hugged him. "You pretended to have amnesia, not only for my safety, but also because you didn't know how to face me, right? The Gu worms in your body have become diseased. If they are not expelled soon, your life will be in danger at any time. That's why I had no choice but to be so cruel to you. Those weren't my true feelings. I've always been very happy and blessed to be with you. Although you are somewhat delirious, you have never hurt me and have always done your best to protect me. As a husband, you are truly outstanding."
"So you don't need to feel guilty, and you don't need to make amends. I have never regretted marrying you, never."
The tension on Wen Zhiming's face dissipated, and his eyes, as dark as ink, asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. I'm straightforward; I'll be good to those who are good to me. If I really disliked or hated you, I would have stayed far away from you long ago. Why would I bother coming to see you in the middle of the night?"
“But I don’t think it’s good enough. You haven’t had much peace since you married me. In the future, I will have to save my father and mother, as well as the servants of the Prince of Anshun’s mansion. If you follow me, you are destined to face many dangers and live in fear.” Wen Zhiming’s words were full of guilt.
Meng Lingge pushed him away, her expression slightly angry.
“You’ve never been so timid before. Husbands and wives should share honor and disgrace, and weather the storm together. When you were poisoned by the Gu worms, we could still trust each other. Now that you’ve recovered, why can’t we work together? What are you going to do? What dangers might you face? You’ve kept everything from me, waiting until things have calmed down before you come to see me. Where do you place me then?”
“My wife. I was wrong.” Wen Zhiming pulled Meng Lingge into his arms. “I knew from the moment you entered the door today that I was wrong. Terribly wrong. When I was conscious, my father and mother were under house arrest, and my third brother was poisoned. I was so afraid of losing you. So even though I missed you to the bone, I kept my eyes open and didn’t go to you.”
“But now that you have come to me despite the danger, I realize that I have only cared about my own peace of mind and have not considered your feelings at all. I have caused you worry, sadness, and trouble, which is truly making things worse. Please, my dear wife, forgive me for my sincere apology and give me a chance to make amends.”
Meng Lingge was listening intently when she felt Wen Zhiming's hands wandering restlessly, igniting a fire within her.
"you……"
She's so naive.
I thought Wen Zhiming was genuinely apologizing.
I've been tricked by this cunning man several times tonight.
Although her breath was disturbed by the other party, and although she didn't really want to stop it, she really couldn't delay any longer tonight.
Meng Lingge stepped back and leaned against the bathtub, her hands covering her body. "It's too late tonight. My parents don't know I've left the manor, and there are still guards waiting outside."
"Wife, you're overthinking it." The man leaned closer, his movements becoming more dangerous. "I'm just giving you a wash and massage..."
Meng Lingge was no longer going to be fooled. She wanted to refuse, but the fire Wen Zhiming had ignited in her body had already spread, leaving her no choice but to let the man sacrifice himself to extinguish the flames for her.
The water in the bathtub rippled incessantly...
The man's actions were not rough; in fact, they were extremely gentle. He kissed her gently and delicately from her forehead down, and his hands slowly traced every inch of her skin. Meng Lingge felt that the fire in her body not only did not go out, but burned even more fiercely.
Her eyes darkened, and her voice became hoarse, "Husband..."
The beauty, shy and timid, spoke with a coquettish and urging tone that made Wen Zhiming unable to bear it any longer. He reached out and pulled his outer robe over the edge of the bathtub to make Meng Lingge's back and head more comfortable, and then gently leaned down...
After Wen Zhiming finished washing and massaging her, there was only a little water left in the bathtub. He then got up with a satisfied smile and prepared to dress Meng Lingge.
His gaze stopped when it fell on Meng Lingge's face.
"Oh dear, how could I have missed this? My wife's face is so beautiful, and now it's so awful. I can't seem to wash it off!"
Meng Lingge knew he was referring to the spots on her face, so she stopped his hand and explained, "I came in today as a kitchen maid in your household. These spots can only be removed with a special medicinal powder. Don't touch them; I need this face to get out of here later."
She had many marks of lovemaking on her body, even her neck had an ambiguous blush, and she wondered if others would notice anything unusual.
Thinking of this, she scolded playfully, "It's all your fault, you liar..."
"Don't worry, my wife." Wen Zhiming dried her body and then gently dressed her.
If he doesn't put it on soon, he might lose control again and make his wife really angry, which wouldn't be good.
"I'll escort you out later. Don't worry, I'll make sure you get out safely."
Meng Lingge let him do as he pleased, enjoying the feeling of being served by her husband for the first time.
"So, you can now come and go from here at will without the Emperor finding out?"
"Yes." Wen Zhiming helped Meng Lingge put on her clothes, then carried her to a stool and knelt down to put on her shoes and socks. "So don't risk coming to me anymore. I can come to see you anytime. I have martial arts skills, so I can move around more easily than you, my wife. Just don't mistake me for a lecherous thief and beat me when I sneak into your boudoir in the middle of the night."
Hearing that he was being dishonest again, Meng Lingge blushed and said, "There are many guards in the Meng family. Be careful when you come. If you are mistaken for a thief and arrested, I will not protect you."
Wen Zhiming stood up. "I know every courtyard in the Meng family mansion like the back of my hand. As long as my wife doesn't betray me, no one can catch me."
He affectionately patted Meng Lingge's head. "I still have some things to do in the capital. Wait for me for a month or two. Once I've taken care of them, I'll take you away from here. Then no one will be able to separate us."
