Chapter 21. He kissed her for the second time.
What kind of injuries did he ask about? Aren't all the injuries on her body just marks left from when he used force on her on their wedding night?
What other injuries could there be besides these?
The most serious injury was on the inner thigh, which was very hidden and close to the skin... Could the injury he was talking about be the one she was thinking of?
look………?
He wants to see it?!
Although she had slept with Wen Qiyan and was now pregnant, it would be too shameful for him to see it...
And who knows what wicked intentions he has behind what he wants to see? She didn't want to expose her disheveled state to this man.
Ji Wanyuan remained motionless for a long time, because her mind was still racing. It wasn't that she couldn't understand, but rather that she found it difficult to comprehend.
After all, the person who said those words to her and wanted to check her "injuries" was Wen Qiyan, who hated her so much that he would frown impatiently as if he wanted to eat her alive if she said even one more word to him.
Was he possessed by an evil spirit?
"…ah?"
After a long while, Ji Wanyuan really didn't know how to reply to him, and blurted out a puzzled question.
The man looked at the young woman on the bed, her legs together, half-lying on the soft brocade quilt, her long, soft black hair cascading down her sides and back, making her look incredibly beautiful and well-behaved.
Without tying her long hair up and removing the heavy makeup from her face, she looked like an unmarried young woman, not only beautiful but also with a graceful figure that was evident in her movements.
"Let me see your injury."
He patiently repeated it, his low, magnetic tone calm, without even frowning.
At the same time, the gaze moved down her body and landed on the neckline of her bra.
That day, tormented by the drugs and filled with anger, he reached under her armpits and went forward, punishing her very forcefully.
He almost crushed her, though she wasn't actually crushed, he just made her cry. Her voice trembled as she cursed him, and she sobbed pitifully.
Thinking of this, his gaze became even more focused on the collar of the person's undergarments.
Following Wen Qiyan's gaze, Ji Wanyuan understood.
He really wanted to see the injury.
Moreover... he was somewhat tempted.
Although it was faint, she was so perceptive that she sensed it even before the man himself noticed.
Why did Wen Qiyan inexplicably say he was checking her injuries? Could he be using this as an excuse to have sex with her?
Thinking of this, Ji Wanyuan quickly gripped the collar of her clothes tightly, looking at him like a wary rabbit.
The man's expression hardened slightly when he saw her movements.
His eyes were so deep and dark that they seemed sinister, and his tall stature blocked the only candle flame that hadn't been blown out beside him. Standing by the bed, looking down at her, he was quite frightening.
Although the bed is large, it is still just a slightly larger square meter of space.
She has to go through him if she wants to leave and catch her breath.
"I... I mean I'm not injured, I don't need to see a doctor."
Regardless of whether he wants to have sex with you or not, just keep repeating what he says and refuse him!
Ji Wanyuan moved inside as she spoke.
I forced myself to suppress my heart pounding with fear.
Why did Wen Qiyan suddenly get excited? It doesn't seem like he was drugged.
If someone drugged me, I'd probably be furious with her, and I wouldn't use the excuse of checking my "injuries" to sleep with her.
Ji Wanyuan moved to the innermost part of the bed, crawled into the brocade quilt, and caught her breath for a while, continuing to hide from the man at the edge of the bed.
"Um... it's getting late, and I'm pregnant and I'm so tired today, let's get some rest?"
After looking at the person wrapped up like a silkworm cocoon on the bed for a while, he quietly lifted the brocade quilt and got into bed.
"..."
Ji Wanyuan's refusal was unexpected. He was indeed taken aback, but that surprise quickly dissipated. Upon reflection, her refusal was understandable, after all, she had been very composed these past few days.
In addition, the punishments and lessons she received on the previous two occasions were quite severe, so it's understandable that she was traumatized.
Simply saying nice things probably won't be enough to get closer to her.
There was absolutely no progress at the Ji family's place today.
Although he was already the son-in-law of the Ji family, Ji Chengxiang was very wary of him, as were Ji Lingyue and He Xun.
When it comes to He Xun, Prime Minister Ji speaks to him with more leniency. If someone who doesn't know the situation were to see him, they might even think that He Xun is Prime Minister Ji's legitimate son-in-law.
The matter of finding the location of the Youzhou mining area is urgent. His father is right; the Emperor has not given him much time. He cannot act on emotion and delay any longer.
Now that he had received the imperial decree, he could no longer act as he pleased, and that was the reason why the marriage was successfully concluded.
In the deathly silence, the two people sharing the same bed were each lost in their own thoughts.
Ji Wanyuan was thinking that tomorrow she must have Emerald instruct the maid who makes the bed to put out two quilts, so that she would not share a bed with Wen Qiyan.
Even though the bed and bedding were large, if the man moved over a bit and reached out slightly, he could easily grab her.
Won't she become fish on the chopping board again then?
It's still too dangerous. Who can guarantee that he won't suddenly get carried away and devour her whole?
While Ji Wanyuan was lost in thought, the man beside her suddenly spoke up, unaware of her presence, "Are you still angry about that day?"
The cool, clear voice asked softly; it wasn't a hallucination.
Wen Qiyan was at odds with her when he woke up that morning. When Madam Wen asked him to say something nice, he looked at her with extreme impatience, as if he wanted to snap her neck. But after following her back to the Ji family for a day, he has started to change.
If it were before, she would have thought that he felt guilty for misunderstanding her today, and that he was getting closer to her and showing her great care. If she were even more foolish, she might have thought that Wen Qiyan had discovered her good qualities.
Right now...
A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken! It's up to no good.
No, isn't this dragging herself into the blame? She's not a chicken, Wen Qiyan is a weasel! Just a more handsome one, but no matter how handsome, he's still a weasel.
It must be for his own benefit, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly become so close to her.
Ji Wanyuan cursed inwardly while remaining on guard, determined not to be tricked or manipulated by Wen Qiyan.
I was already very tired, but I still kept my eyes peeled and focused. What if she got distracted and said something she shouldn't have?
"Why don't you say anything?" After a while, his patience wore thin.
Judging from Ji Wanyuan's uneven, deliberately soft breathing, it was clear that she had not rested.
“…I don’t know what to say,” she said to him.
She was genuinely nervous and scared. A long time ago, when she took a liking to Wen Qiyan and said she wanted to marry him, her father, mother, and brother said that he was a very scheming and calculating person. Just how scheming?
It's the kind of situation where she might be sold out by Wen Qiyan and end up counting his money for him!
Too much talk leads to mistakes, so it's best to speak less.
Because she was hiding under the covers, Ji Wanyuan's voice was slightly muffled and low.
Fortunately, it was late at night and quiet, so I could still hear it clearly.
She was incredibly composed, which surprised him several times.
When he ran into Ji Wanyuan, she was always the one who shamelessly clung to him, chattering and laughing around him, but this time she fell silent.
The person who took the initiative had changed, leaving Wen Qiyan at a loss for words.
Even if I don't know what to say, I still have to say, "I want to know if you're angry."
Of course he's angry! What is he asking?! Who wouldn't be angry if they were bullied and tossed around like that?
Ji Wanyuan couldn't respond verbally, but she mentally retorted with a string of words.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't expect the man beside her to suddenly turn around.
Startled, she rolled her eyes so hard they twitched, and she hurriedly pulled the blanket over herself to cover herself, almost letting him see her!
Ji Wanyuan moved quickly, and Wen Qiyan indeed didn't see it.
But he turned around because he wanted to see the expression on her face. What was there to see if she was blocking it?
He frowned and reached out, intending to pull the blankets away, but unexpectedly grabbed her wrist.
"..."
Let's just go all the way and go all the way.
He hesitated for only a moment before grabbing her wrist through the quilt and pulling her towards him.
Realizing what the man was about to do, Ji Wanyuan was too late to stop him.
He thought she had a good figure, with plump breasts and buttocks, and since she was pregnant, she should have some weight. When Wen Qiyan pulled her over, he used some force. Who knew she was so light that he pulled her directly in front of him. Fortunately, there were blankets to block the way, otherwise he would have ended up hugging Ji Wanyuan.
But... it's pretty close.
She looked up, her small face, no bigger than a palm, right in front of him. Her pupils contracted in panic, and their eyes met.
Ji Wanyuan's heart was pounding, not from embarrassment, but from panic and fear.
What is Wen Qiyan going to do?
No matter what she did, she immediately reacted by using her elbow to push the two apart and create distance between them.
This time, however, the man was faster, grabbing the edge of the blankets and wrapping her up inside, making it impossible for her to break free.
They could only be forced to remain trapped in their "cocoon," standing still in front of him.
"you!"
At first, it was an arrogant question, but before he could say anything, Ji Wanyuan's voice weakened, and she asked him hesitantly, like a cat's meow, "What...what are you doing?"
If I'm not mistaken, Ji Wanyuan is very afraid of him?
When he caught her just now, because he did it so quickly, when their eyes met, the emotions in her pupils hadn't completely dissipated, and he saw her panic and fear.
In the past, Wen Qiyan would naturally have been happy to see this, and if he was overly fearful, he would have kept his distance.
But how could Ji Wanyuan be afraid of him right now?
Ultimately, it was because of the trauma she suffered on their wedding night and the punishment he inflicted on her last time.
Those two sexual encounters, whether it was the kissing, the tone of voice, or the final release, were all too cold, hard, and forceful.
To dispel Ji Wanyuan's fear of him and quickly bridge the gap between them...
He looked at her fair face, his gaze slowly moving down from her eyebrows and eyes, finally settling on her full, rounded lips.
Originally, he had only planned to kiss her to get closer to her, since she enjoyed intimacy with him.
But as he looked at her, he inexplicably recalled the sweetness he tasted when he kissed her that day.
He actually felt a strong urge to kiss her, and even felt a little expectant. When he leaned down, a strange sense of nervousness crept in.
here we go again……
Ji Wanyuan caught a glimpse of barely perceptible lustful turmoil in the man's eyes...
Being this close, I'm bound to kiss her.
Not to mention he was staring intently at her lips.
Thinking back to that bite, which could hardly be called a kiss, on our wedding night.
Terrified, Ji Wanyuan's heart pounded, yet she was bound by him and unable to break free.
Fortunately, she wasn't completely immobilized; at least her face could still move.
She shouldn't alert the enemy...
Wen Qiyan thought that the person who was originally wrapped in the bedding was looking at him intently, and this "comforting" kiss should be a natural progression.
But the moment his kiss landed, Ji Wanyuan quickly turned her head away.
He didn't manage to touch her lips, but only lightly brushed her cheek.
"..."
