Shi Jun wanted to give all his tenderness to Xu Mian alone, and all the light in his life to her, but he himself was a ghost that could not extricate himself from the darkness.

In his arms, he could clearly smell the crisp pine scent after a bath, exuding a steady and resolute aura, and even as if he was carrying a lot of heaviness.

Xu Mian accidentally thought of the masculine aura of Ah Fu's guards at noon, just like the golden wheat fields under the scorching sun, exuding an unrestrained and mellow fragrance.

It is determined that Shi Yan has become much more mature and stable after his experience outside the palace, and is completely different from the devil in the past.

Why not try to get along with him well.

Shi Jun put her on the rosewood incense table, "Mianmian, let's have a drink."

Xu Mian nodded. They had agreed to consummate the marriage after the menstrual period ended. Drinking some wine could help them relax, which was a good idea.

Shi Jun brought two glass cups, filled them with pear blossom wine, and handed one to Xu Mian.

There was a hint of expectation and nervousness in the eyes of the two.

Xu Mian took the wine glass and took a sip gently.

"It's a little sweet and a little spicy." The taste of the wine was mellow and strong, and a blush appeared on her face.

Shi Jun looked at her, and his heart couldn't help but move. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked her hair and cheeks, and said softly: "Mianmian, you are so beautiful."

Xu Mian's heartbeat accelerated, and feeling the touch of the thin fingertips, her eyes became blurred.

Shi Jun slowly approached Xu Mian, and his breathing became rapid.

His thin lips lightly touched the beauty's cherry lips and kissed her tenderly.

Xu Mian could not help but slowly respond to his kiss, hugging his neck tightly with both hands.

Just as the two were immersed in this passionate emotion, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

Shi Jun let go of Xu Mian.

"What happened?"

"Your Highness, someone from Concubine Rumor sent a message saying that she was not feeling well and wanted to ask Your Highness to go and see her." The guard at the door answered.

Shi Jun's brows were furrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Staring

at Xu Mian, he saw that her face was still blushing and there was a hint of loss in her eyes.

"I know, let her have a good rest."

The guards obeyed and left, and the palace returned to peace.

Shi Jun approached Xu Mian again and whispered, "Don't pay attention to others, tonight belongs only to us."

Xu Mian's slender waist was placed in his broad arms. Because of what happened this afternoon, Xu Mian felt guilty towards the man in front of her, and unlike her usual shyness, she tried hard to cater to him.

Feeling her emotions, Shi Jun picked her up and whispered in her ear: "My arms are Mianmian's chair."

The strong breath was on Xu Mian's cheeks, and the effect of alcohol made her lips curl up. She reached out and touched Shi Jun's face, and said in a daze: "Shi Yan...you...are so bad!"

Shi Jun's originally gentle smile froze instantly. He stroked the beautiful woman's face and said sinisterly: "Mianmian, look carefully, it's me, I am..."

He couldn't say who he was.

He changed his calmness, turned her over, and kissed her fiercely.

A small head was held in two big palms, and the kiss was airtight. Xu Mian was kissed to the point of being suffocated and unable to breathe, and her white and tender hands pressed hard against his chest.

Shi Jun let her go, staring at her with dark eyes, full of indescribable and extremely resentful emotions.

Xu Mian was eight-tenths drunk, and became bolder. He pointed at him and said, "Shi Yan, you just... bully me."

It is said that people speak the truth after drinking. Shi Jun asked tentatively, "Mian Mian, do you like him? Do you like Shi Yan? Hmm?"

Xu Mian chuckled and almost bent over when he leaned back, and was stopped by the slender arm.

"Only a ghost would like... him, he is disgusting!"

Shi Jun was ecstatic and kept asking her, "Mianmian, are you serious? You don't like him, right?"

Xu Mian rubbed her head against his neck, "Don't... stop bullying me."

"Little fool, how could I bully you? I have been deeply in love with you since the first time I saw you at the gate of the palace."

After Shi Jun confirmed his feelings, he took a deep breath and covered her fair neck.

Xu Mian kept hitting him with her little fist and moaned.

"Let's be together for real, okay?"

The coldness in his eyes was dispelled, and he gently took off the Yanluo shirt in front of him.

"Mianmian..."

Xu Mian was in a slightly drunken mist, and was stung for a moment, sobering up all of a sudden.

She realized what was going on, and tried her best to persuade herself that she had to take this step.

Xu Mian, don't you want to cure your stutter? Be brave.

But she couldn't control it. As soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of when she was nine years old would appear, and she could even hear the words of that wretched man.

"Little beauty, let me have a kiss."

"No! Go away!"

Xu Mian suddenly shouted and screamed, emotionally excited, Shi Jun held her in his arms, trying his best to comfort her.

"Mianmian, what's wrong?"

The beauty in his arms was crying and trembling, and Shi Jun found that Xu Mian's reaction might be abnormal.

After pulling the blanket to wrap her, Xu Mian's mood stabilized a little, and she sobbed softly on his chest.

"Mian Mian, can you tell me why you are so scared?"

This matter is a secret of the Xu family that cannot be told. Although Xu Mian's innocence is safe, it is not good to spread it out.

Xu Mian said nothing, Shi Jun stroked her arm gently, did not ask any more questions, and just held her tightly.

After a long time, Xu Mian whispered: "Shi Yan, I want to tell you... a secret..."

Shi Jun coaxed: "I'm listening, go ahead."

But before she could say it, it was an embarrassing thing, not to mention that she was not eloquent.

Shi Jun could probably guess something and asked tentatively, "Mianmian, was there anyone bullying you when you were a child?"

Xu Mian shook her hands and said, "No! No!"

At this moment, she was hiding in his arms like an insecure little beast. Shi Jun felt the same way and felt pity for her, so he hugged her tighter.

"Mian Mian, no matter what happened, you are my baby, the one I love."

He believed that as long as he was sincere, Xu Mian would feel safe enough with him and would come out of the shadow.

"Mian Mian, I will carry you to the bed to rest, shall I?"

Xu Mian pointed outside, pouting her pink lips, "I want to... look at the moon."

"Okay, let's go outside the palace to look." He

picked her up and walked to the palace door. He kicked something hard at the door and kicked it open.

He only heard two meows, and the Persian cat's blue eyes sparkled in the dark night. Xu Mian struggled, "Afu! Are you not asleep?"

He lit the candles and saw that the ceramic cat bed was broken into two pieces.

Xu Mian said sadly, "Afu has no place to sleep."

It was Shi Jun who kicked it just now. He coaxed, "Mian Mian, I will ask someone to find a new one tomorrow, don't be sad."

In fact, he didn't like furry animals, especially this cat was raised by another man, and the name was the same.

Xu Mian hugged the Persian cat, and was more sad than the Persian cat. Shi Jun asked, "Then buy a cat bed that is exactly the same as this one, okay?"

Xu Mian thought about telling Afu's guards tomorrow and asking him to buy another one that is exactly the same.

"Your Highness... don't worry about it."

Shi Jun wondered why he was not allowed to worry about it. Could it be that this cat bed was given by someone else? Who could it be? Was it Afu? He

was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Tonight, Xu Mian insisted on sleeping on the bed with the Persian cat, which made Shi Jun helpless and increased his dislike for Persian cats.
