Her jade-like face gradually flushed with a blush. After a long silence, she murmured softly, "Could you please not touch my lips with your knuckles? It's so itchy and it feels so strange."
That's why he thought she was still somewhat resistant to him! Upon learning the truth, Hongli suddenly smiled, tightening his arm around her slender waist. Caught off guard, Su Yushan fell into his arms in an instant.
Startled, she looked up hastily and saw his long eyelashes almost in front of her eyes. A soft laugh followed, "I also want to experience that strange feeling..."
"Huh?" Before Su Yushan could react, his lips covered her cherry lips, showering her with tenderness and lingering kisses.
Their lips suddenly met, a strange sensation shooting straight to the top of their heads! His sudden action startled Su Yushan, her beautiful eyes widening in shock. She frantically tried to push him away with her small hands, but Hongli remained unmoved, holding her tightly and not allowing her to escape.
Her heart was racing faster and faster. The strange and unfamiliar feeling made her nervous and curious. At first, his kisses were forceful, passionate and intense. But as he felt her hands gradually loosen and become less resistant, he softened and gave her gentle, flowing kisses.
Before she knew it, he had pinned her down. He had only unbuttoned one button earlier, but now there were many buttons left on her clothes. He no longer had the patience to unbutton them one by one, so he simply ripped her cloak open.
Upon seeing this, Su Yushan exclaimed, "Hey---slow down, you've torn the buttons!"
Hongli, however, did not take it to heart. He chuckled softly as he bit her earlobe, "If it's broken, we'll just make a new one."
His straight nose gently brushed against her earlobe, causing Su Yushan's heart to surge. She slowly closed her eyes, trying to escape the embarrassing pleasure.
With her face turned to the side, her long and elegant swan neck was on full display, and her captivating expression was exceptionally alluring.
Sensing that her earlobes seemed to be her weakness, Hongli's lips deliberately lingered a little longer on her neck, delicately tracing her fragrant neck. The dim candlelight illuminated the tent, outlining overlapping and interwoven light and shadow, inspiring endless reverie...
This was the first time Hongli had shown her mercy, and he restrained himself, only giving in to her once before not tormenting her again.
After the vibrant bloom, everything returned to calm. Exhausted, Su Yushan closed her eyes for a short rest, her small hands resting on her pillow, her head glistening with sweat, and her delicate nose uttering sweet words.
Her weak and helpless appearance made Hongli chuckle softly, "I didn't ask you to move, are you that tired?"
He's oversimplifying things. He is indeed the one in control, but she has to cooperate too! "Your strength is so powerful, you smash people to pieces, how can I not be tired?"
Understanding the implication, Hongli rose, lifted the tent flap, stepped down from the tent, poured her a cup of hot tea, and brought it to the side of the tent.
She tried to get up, but realized she wasn't dressed. She quickly pulled the quilt up to cover her breasts, then sat up, leaned against the curtain, took the teacup from his hand, and sipped it lightly with her red lips slightly parted.
Before, the tent curtains had obscured the view, making it dim and difficult to see clearly. Now, with the curtains wide open and the light shining through, he could see her narrow shoulders partially exposed and her face flushed with a charming blush. Hongli's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his voice became noticeably hoarse.
Are you deliberately trying to bewitch people?
"Ah?" Su Yushan, having put down her teacup, looked up in surprise, only to see his gaze slowly move down from her face to her neck. She belatedly realized her mistake, immediately shrinking back, pulling the quilt over her shoulders, and pouting reproachfully.
"I was just having a sip of tea. You're the one overthinking things. I never imagined that the dignified Fourth Prince would be so improper."
With a soft "hmm," Hongli clicked his tongue and said, "I was initially worried about your exhaustion and was going to let you off the hook. But since you think I'm not proper, then I should do more bad things so I don't have to bear this accusation for nothing."
Upon hearing this, Su Yushan immediately felt remorseful and begged for forgiveness, "I was just joking! Fourth Master, you are actually very serious. You've already had your fill of meat, there's no need for a midnight snack, is there?"
However, he said, "I'm not full."
To avoid making yourself suffer again, Su Yushan quickly advised, "Actually, eating until you're five-tenths full is enough. If you eat too much at once, you won't want to eat it next time, right?"
She was trying to explain herself, but Hongli's focus was quite peculiar: "You're still looking forward to next time? I might as well give it to you now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned closer. Su Yushan flinched in alarm, and in her haste, the quilt slipped down, revealing her beautiful surroundings. Startled, she quickly raised her hand to cover herself, turned her back, and pleaded softly with embarrassed eyes.
"But I still feel a little pain, so please stop torturing me and let me rest for a bit!"
Her current posture revealed her smooth shoulder and neck lines, and her soft, shiny black hair, which fell behind her, covered her elegant butterfly bones. Hongli did not intend to make things difficult for her, but after all, he was a normal man. Seeing such a seductive scene, he could not help but feel his heart surge and his mind wander.
Young and impetuous, he always followed his own desires and was unwilling to compromise himself for a woman. He could have followed his heart and taken her again without restraint, but when he met Su Yushan's watery, starry eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse her, lest she develop a shadow and reject his closeness.
In the end, he didn't insist anymore. He got up and went to the oak shelf with the basin to wash his face and calm himself down with the cool water.
Seeing this, Su Yushan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, Fourth Master."
She was relieved, but he was suffering terribly from the burning desire, and could only try his best to suppress it. "I'll let you off this time for the sake of our first time consummating our marriage, but I won't let you have your way next time."
Who knows when the next time will be! In Su Yushan's view, what men care about most is how to get a woman. They yearn for her when they can't have her, but once they do, they lose their initial enthusiasm.
She had already consummated her marriage with him tonight, and she probably held little appeal for Hongli anymore. This was for the best; she didn't care about his favor, as long as the servants stopped mistreating her and she could eat and stay warm.
Ever since Hongli and Su Yushan consummated their marriage, many people in the household have become restless. Cui Ning, a maid in Gao Gege's household, took the initiative to suggest...
"Princess, I made some old duck soup today. Shall I go and invite Fourth Master over for a meal?"
Sitting by the latticed window was a woman dressed in a lotus-red cloak. She was Gao Bin's daughter, Gao Xiuwen. She was a dignified and beautiful girl, and her every move exuded the demeanor of a well-bred lady.
Having nothing to do, she was doing embroidery when she heard this, so she put down her needle and thread and gently reminded her:
"Fourth Master didn't say he was coming. Unless it's something important, you shouldn't bother him. Have you forgotten the rules?"
Cui Ning replied matter-of-factly, "It's only once in a while, so Fourth Master shouldn't mind, right? Besides, Princess Jin often sends people to invite Fourth Master!"
When Jin Minjing was mentioned, Gao Xiuwen scoffed, "She doesn't follow the rules, I can't be as willful as her. Fourth Master just started doting on Su Gege, they're still inseparable right now, he's still infatuated! He'll probably go to her place again tonight, do you think he'll be happy if you go to invite him now?"
