Chapter 28 "Wen Qiyan, do you love me?"...
I really drank it; I didn't throw it away.
Seeing this, Cao Xin's heart started beating very fast.
The effects of the medicine added to the tea hadn't kicked in yet, but the thought of what was about to happen made her incredibly nervous.
She even lost her composure, standing there staring intently at Wen Qiyan.
The man put down his teacup and asked her coldly, "...Is there anything else?"
They hadn't even exchanged two words before they were sending her away? Cao Xin couldn't help but feel disheartened, but remembering what Ji Wanyuan and her mother had said—that one shouldn't be too hasty in anything—she suppressed her emotions, curtsied, and left.
Following Ji Wanyuan's instructions, Cao Xin did not go far, but sat in the outer room waiting for Wen Qiyan's medicine to take effect. When he came out, they would be able to make it a done deal.
Ji Wanyuan had already taken care of the maids and old women around her, and Cao Xin was somewhat relieved that today's events would not be publicized.
If her cousin touches her, her mother will have her aunt and uncle exert pressure indirectly. According to Ji Wanyuan, she will push things along and keep it a secret from the Ji family so that she can enter the family first and then be given the title of concubine after the storm has passed.
This was unfair to her; she should be made to think it over herself.
Cao Xin didn't feel wronged. Compared to marrying into a poor family, she was willing to take the gamble.
Besides, the Wen family and the Jiang family are related, unlike ordinary families, so Cao Xin naturally wasn't worried that the Wen family would renege on their promises.
To be frank, my cousin used to dislike Miss Ji so much that he never even glanced at her for so many years. But now that he's had physical intimacy with her, he's paying so much attention to her.
If she also becomes intimate with her cousin, or even becomes pregnant with another child, then in the future...
Cao Xin was lost in thought, growing more and more excited. She felt a growing restlessness in her heart and couldn't help but look up at the study.
She was still waiting, waiting for Wen Qiyan to come out.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement, not even the slightest sound.
Could it be that the dosage was too low?
"..."
Little did Cao Xin know that the study was already empty.
The atmosphere in the empty guest rooms on the other side of the courtyard was very tense.
Ji Wanyuan never expected things to develop this way.
Cao Xin didn't stop Wen Qiyan; instead, she let him come over here.
Today, Emerald was sent to the courtyard to deal with the old women of the Wen family, because she was afraid that they would ruin what she and Cao Xin were planning.
Is the little maidservant guarding outside so useless tonight?
They let Wen Qiyan in quietly.
he……
Just now, when Ji Wanyuan heard the door open, she thought it was Jade sending someone to deliver a message.
Upon seeing the tall, handsome man with a cold expression, she was so startled that she became tense and her mind went blank. She even thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes.
After calming down, I realized that it was indeed Wen Qiyan.
Moreover, Wen Qiyan's expression subtly revealed his desire, with lust clearly visible on his face.
Ji Wanyuan was about to speak, but she didn't know how to ask.
Because she was unaware of the situation, she simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"Husband, my lord, why...why are you here?"
Even after calming herself down, Ji Wanyuan, who had a guilty conscience, still couldn't help but stumble and stumble, and even choked on her own saliva under his gaze.
Wen Qiyan watched her sitting awkwardly on the edge of the round table, her eyes darting around, her hands resting on her knees and fidgeting.
It turns out, she was still afraid.
But if he was afraid, why did you drug him in the first place?
Is it that you don't want to be intimate with him, and even want to push other people to him?
He had seen all the little tricks she had played these past two days.
If it was still to test whether he had any intention of taking a concubine, then it would be understandable.
Now they've even gone so far as to try and drug him...
A surge of passion and desire swept over him, seeping into his very bones and flesh, causing endless heat and discomfort to press into his lungs, constantly clamoring and occupying his thoughts.
Seeing the beautiful face before him, which was filled with fear and surprise, Wen Qiyan was slightly puzzled.
Could Ji Wanyuan really go to such lengths to test whether he cared about her? Even drugging him and forcing him to see if he would have anything going on with Cao Xin?
If that's really the case, and he withstood the effects of the drug and appeared here, and he didn't have any interaction with Cao Xin, why wasn't Ji Wanyuan happy to see him? Instead, she was terrified as if she had seen a ghost, and seemed to want to run away.
Her words and actions made it difficult for him to tell whether she was really testing him.
Or perhaps, it wasn't like that at all; she wasn't testing him, but genuinely trying to push him towards Cao Xin.
Wen Qiyan's thoughts became confused, and he couldn't quite make sense of things.
That day, she cried so hard, it was as if she was truly heartbroken. She hugged his waist and begged him not to lie to her anymore. Was it all just an act?
The tingling sensation deep within my bones surged up again; even though the medicine was administered subtly, it was incredibly potent.
At this moment, he used his internal force to suppress it, and he managed to suppress it so that it could not surge up, but it still fled in all directions, especially gathering in dangerous places where the fire was concentrated.
Wen Qiyan definitely drank the medicine in the tea, but where did Cao Xin go?
Ji Wanyuan has not yet figured out how this matter developed to its current state.
The best course of action now is to leave. We absolutely cannot stay under the same roof as Wen Qiyan, otherwise the nightmare from that day will surely return.
But in her haste, she couldn't help but show her fear, "..."
It's impossible to be completely "without a guilty conscience," especially when being stared at so coldly by a man.
Ji Wanyuan slowly took a few steps, "Husband... are you feeling unwell? I'll go call someone for you—"
I gritted my teeth and ran.
But just as she took a step, the man grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
His large hand was burning hot, and Ji Wanyuan couldn't help but scream out of fear. Her face turned pale with fright, and the nightmares that had tormented her over those nights resurfaced in her mind.
Ji Wanyuan didn't care about anything else anymore, and just said, "What...what are you doing? Let go of me."
"I'll go get someone for you."
Wen Qiyan watched as she pretended to be deaf and dumb, cowering and hiding, wishing he could slip away as fast as he could.
At this moment, amidst the churning of desire, the thought that Ji Wanyuan didn't seem to love him, which he had vaguely felt earlier, resurfaced.
For some reason, thinking of this, he subconsciously gripped her wrist even tighter.
Startled by Ji Wanyuan's exclamation and seeing her terrified expression, Wen Qiyan finally snapped out of his daze.
"I feel terrible...please don't leave."
"What...what's wrong with you?"
Ji Wanyuan pretended to be oblivious, as if she didn't realize how hot the man's large hand holding her wrist was.
He looked at her.
If it were before, Wen Qiyan would have coldly scoffed and asked her if she didn't understand. That was exactly what he said the first time.
But for the sake of the bigger picture, this cannot be done. Besides, he deliberately drank the spiked tea.
Ji Wanyuan had always been unwilling to take things any further with him. Last time, she cried and confessed that it was because she had been too rough with him earlier, and she had been having nightmares ever since.
So whenever he touched her, she flinched and became afraid.
As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it, so we must address this issue and completely eliminate her fear of him.
The man remained silent for a long time, holding her wrist tightly, his palm growing increasingly hot.
Even without touching him, Ji Wanyuan could feel the terrifying heat emanating from him.
"No matter what... if you're not feeling well, I'll go get you a doctor. Let go of me first."
Where is Cao Xin? She went to find Cao Xin for him.
Wen Qiyan looked at her face, which was turning pale and then green with panic, and released her wrist.
Ji Wanyuan made a hasty escape, but the door was bolted shut with several bolts.
At that moment, she had no time to think about why the door had so many latches on the inside. She frantically opened it, and at the same time, she heard the footsteps of a man approaching from behind. She felt a chill run down her spine, and her hands trembled slightly.
Finally, just as Wen Qiyan was about to get close to her, Ji Wanyuan managed to remove all the latches. She was overjoyed, but when she tried to pull the door open, she found that she couldn't.
Ji Wanyuan, “?”
She pulled hard a few times, but found the door really wouldn't open. Then, peering closer through the crack, she exclaimed, "?!"
It's locked from the outside. What's going on?
The door was not only bolted shut, but also locked from the outside. Who wanted to harm her?
Ji Wanyuan immediately pounded on the door and shouted, "Help! Help! Emerald! Come save me!"
But despite her hysterical screams, there was still no response.
No one came to save her.
"What are you doing, my lady?"
The man was already close. Ji Wanyuan turned around when she heard the sound and saw the man's handsome face flushed. His voice was extremely hoarse.
"How...how could we?"
“I had it locked,” he said.
"you…!"
Ji Wanyuan's first reaction was that Wen Qiyan was doing this on purpose, but she couldn't confront him directly. So she asked him directly...
"Why did you have the door locked? Open it quickly! Didn't you say you weren't feeling well? I'll go get you a doctor."
The man leaned down, not kissing her, but simply enveloping her. Ji Wanyuan could feel his body burning hot, the heat radiating from him making her feel like she was melting.
The man's thin lips parted slightly, and as he spoke, his voice grew increasingly hoarse.
“My cousin Cao had ill intentions. She drugged my tea in an attempt to get intimate with me. I came here to avoid people, but I didn’t expect my wife to be here as well.”
Is that what he thinks?
"Ah...?" In her panic, Ji Wanyuan didn't forget to feign extreme shock.
"Cousin Cao, Cao is actually this kind of person!" she said indignantly.
"I...I will definitely tell my mother-in-law and aunt about this later."
Her eyes darted around, and she began to move to the left, but after taking only a small step, the man raised his hand and pressed it against the door, blocking her way.
Ji Wanyuan was startled and stopped. Before she could move to the other side, Wen Qiyan suddenly leaned down and buried his head on her shoulder and in the crook of her neck.
It was heavy and hot.
Ji Wanyuan's already unsteady breathing became even more erratic at this moment.
The fragrance emanating from her body brought Wen Qiyan a brief moment of relief, but in an instant, the suppressed anger flared up again.
Ji Wanyuan felt as if a huge, hot potato had been placed on her shoulder.
"I feel terrible..." he said to her slowly, his tone heavy.
Ji Wanyuan was completely disoriented and almost cried from fright.
Unable to think of a solution for the time being, she decided to isolate herself, resorting to that tired excuse for the umpteenth time.
"I'm pregnant, I can't have sex with you..."
“Hasn’t it been three months already?” he asked.
Indeed, three months have passed, and Ji Wanyuan still lies and says she didn't.
“I asked my mother, and she said you’ve been pregnant for over three months.”
"When did you ask?" Ji Wanyuan was a little embarrassed when she was exposed. It had indeed been three months.
Some time ago.
The man buried his face in the crook of her neck, his deep, magnetic voice sounding muffled because of its slowness.
Ji Wanyuan argued illogically, "My mother-in-law is mistaken. I just asked the doctor yesterday, and it hasn't even been three months..."
"Yeah?"
The tall man pressed down on her shoulders and rubbed his burning forehead against her slender neck.
Ji Wanyuan smelled really good, and her kisses were sweet.
He wanted to kiss her, but dared not make a move, because she had not yet agreed.
If he kisses her directly, there will definitely be a commotion, which will not be conducive to his plan.
This medicine is truly potent. Wen Qiyan felt that his remaining rationality was being burned away, and it wouldn't be long before it was completely gone. At this moment, beads of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
As Ji Wanyuan spoke to him, she also pushed his head away with her hand.
After trying for a while, she still couldn't push it away. She turned her head to the side, but it was no use, because Wen Qiyan was tall and heavy.
She simply started moving her feet again and ran to the other side.
But it was as if he had eyes; he sensed her intention and raised his other hand, placing it on the door frame near her ear.
Ji Wanyuan was truly trapped in his arms.
Is there anyone who can save her?
She was looking forward to it in her heart.
But after waiting for a while, no one came, and Ji Wanyuan realized that she really had to save herself.
There was only one way left. She pretended that Wen Qiyan was pressing her down so hard that she could hardly stand, and slid down, determined to escape from under his arm.
But this time she didn't move until she revealed her intentions.
He looked up, grabbed her waist, picked her up, and carried her to the bed.
Ji Wanyuan was terrified at the sight of the bed and couldn't help but kick her legs and whimper, "Wen... Wen Qiyan, let me go, put me down, I can't sleep with you!"
Is it that they can't, or that they don't want to?
He didn't listen to her and strode away quickly.
Before Ji Wanyuan could react, she was already placed on the bed. Touching the soft bedding, Ji Wanyuan really didn't know what to say.
This was probably the first time Wen Qiyan carried her to the bed, and he did so very gently, without dropping her.
Even so, Ji Wanyuan was still afraid.
She immediately got up, but he had already lowered the bed curtains, and Wen Qiyan was standing on the edge of the bed.
Before Ji Wanyuan could even think of which way to run out, a tall, mountain-like man loomed over her.
She was already afraid of him, and for a moment she couldn't resist his actions, and she was pressed down onto the soft bed.
He trapped her.
Ji Wanyuan looked at the light blue curtains, her slender wrists separating the two of them, pinching his shoulders, "Wen... Wen Qiyan, please get up, I'll go find someone for you."
"Who are you looking for?" he asked.
The man's thin lips pressed against her ear, kissing the tip of her ear as he spoke.
It's so hot!
She had no Chinese medicine, and at that moment, he was making her feel hot all over, and coupled with her nervousness, she began to have difficulty breathing.
"I...I'll find you a doctor!"
I originally wanted to mention Cao Xin, but she didn't dare.
Ji Wanyuan didn't speak, but the man had already said, "Weren't you going to find me other women?"
The warm, magnetic breath and voice rolled into her ears, and Ji Wanyuan felt an unbearable tingling sensation.
She has become a lamb on the chopping block again. Will she be at the mercy of others from now on?
"What...what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly find you another woman?"
Was he testing him? Did this sentence mean that Wen Qiyan had become suspicious?
Ji Wanyuan knew that she had been too hasty these days and might arouse Wen Qiyan's suspicion, but right now... there were only seven months left.
She was only seven months pregnant, and her life was only seven months away. If she were to die, there were many other things that would not be left for her for more than seven months.
According to the events described in the storybook, the Ji family had already begun to be investigated at that time.
No, right now, the Wen family is already secretly investigating the Ji family.
Ji Wanyuan suddenly realized that Wen's father hadn't returned home these days. Could it be that he was secretly trying to find someone to deal with her father?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but panic.
She was slightly lost in thought when the man stood up and kissed her lips, bringing her back to reality.
Ji Wanyuan, “…”
She turned her head to avoid him, but he kept kissing her. He saw her trying to escape, and since he couldn't kiss her lips, he kissed the corner of her lips instead.
Wen Qiyan looked at her trembling, fragile eyelashes.
The candlelight in the inner room had not gone out, and although the curtains had blocked out most of the space, they now enveloped her, casting a hazy glow on her face, making her look beautiful and alluring.
"Ji Wanyuan, do you still really love me?" The man's nose brushed against her cheek, and his kiss landed on the small red mole on the tip of her ear.
"I..." She hesitated for only a moment before answering immediately, "Of course I love you!"
"Is that so?" the man asked again.
The heat within his body was already coursing through him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. The reason he hadn't yet succumbed to the lust aroused by the drug was because the face of the person beneath him revealed a resolute resistance, as if facing certain death.
Was she genuinely afraid to have sex with him, worried that he might be too rough?
Or have you stopped liking him and even come to hate him?
“I… what are you thinking? Of course I like you!” she repeated.
These words were meant for Wen Qiyan, but also for herself, serving as a reminder that she shouldn't act impulsively in many situations.
"If you like me, why are you trying to match me with the Cao family girl?"
"You're pushing me onto someone else."
As he said this, he propped himself up and looked straight at her.
Ji Wanyuan was caught off guard and met his gaze.
The man's eyes were truly deep, reflecting her face, causing Ji Wanyuan's breath to rise and fall.
“No…I didn’t,” she denied.
I absolutely refuse to admit it, no matter what.
"No?"
He turned her face back as she tried to turn away, then leaned down, his nose almost touching hers.
"You had Cao's daughter serve me food, then brought her close to me, casually inquiring about the past and discussing the possible interactions between us. You even ordered her to bring fish soup to my study..."
Wen Qiyan meticulously counted the details, observing her expression carefully.
His voice was incredibly hoarse, and his body was burning hot; he had endured the pain until it began to hurt.
Ji Wanyuan's expression was unfocused; she was completely flustered. What could she say? How could she defend herself?
Wen Qiyan began to have real doubts and even started to interrogate her.
Her mind was completely blank; she couldn't think of anything. So she used the same old excuse, saying that she just wanted to test whether he was jealous or cared about her.
"Is that really so?" Wen Qiyan examined her face, seeing through her panic.
Ji Wanyuan might really know something, otherwise she wouldn't be behaving so strangely.
Her purpose in pushing Cao Nu closer to him was definitely not just a simple test.
However, Cao Xin's background is very simple. The Cao family and the Wen family are related, and there is very little chance that they could be connected with the Ji family.
"It's true, don't you believe me?" Ji Wanyuan took a breath and met the man's gaze.
As she questioned him so coquettishly, and with the medicine churning inside him, Wen Qiyan's thoughts began to slow down.
He looked at her face, at her lips that were pouting in displeasure.
As he watched, almost as if possessed, he lowered his head to kiss her, but before he could touch her, Ji Wanyuan dodged away again.
This time, Wen Qiyan pinched her chin.
He didn't use much force, but he easily subdued her.
"If you truly love me, why do you always avoid intimacy with me? You clearly enjoyed doing that before."
Ultimately, he still wants to sleep with her.
Ji Wanyuan was already thinking to herself, "I should just bear with it and go along with his wishes for now, otherwise I really won't be able to keep up this pretense any longer."
Isn't Wen Qiyan a womanizer? Cao Xin is quite a beautiful woman, so why doesn't he like her?
"I...I already told you it was because you were too rough last time, I was scared! And...and you don't know how at all, it always hurts me..."
After stammering through this sentence, he added the reason for the unstable pregnancy, saying that it was also because of this.
Upon hearing the first part of her sentence, the man's eyelashes fluttered slightly. He paused in silence for a moment, then replied with only the second part.
"The doctor said that once your pregnancy is stable after three months, you can have sex. In addition, I promise that I will be gentler and will not treat you like before."
He stared at her as he spoke, subtly pointing out her flaws, but Ji Wanyuan's assertion that he couldn't refute her was indeed undeniable.
He knows very little about sex and has no practical experience, so how can he improve?
"..."
Seeing that he was avoiding the main points in his criticism, Ji Wanyuan couldn't find any words to fill the void.
After thinking it over, she somehow blurted out, "Then... Wen Qiyan, let me ask you something."
Do you like me?
She looked into his eyes.
The man, whose desire was at its peak and whose spine was so tight that he was shivering, was taken aback again upon hearing this.
The person beneath him looked up at him, pursing their lips, their fear undiminished.
He couldn't quite tell whether the fear on Ji Wanyuan's face stemmed from dread of his closeness or from worry about hearing an answer she didn't like from him.
“You don’t love me.” She answered for him as he paused in his daze.
"So, I don't want to have sex with you anymore."
That's a good excuse, isn't it?
Despite feigning a somber expression, Ji Wanyuan felt an indescribable unease in her heart.
She not only felt Wen Qiyan's hot breath, but also sensed a dangerous resistance.
It was this very "weapon" that had utterly defeated her last time, leaving her weeping and begging for mercy.
"Who says I don't like you?"
He lowered his head, kissed her lips, and whispered "I love you."
I thought it would be difficult to say those words, but when I actually opened my mouth, it didn't seem so hard.
He was just trying to comfort her, but little did he know that he himself would inexplicably feel relaxed...
It seems like she's revealed her true feelings to someone she wanted to hear?
But in fact, he did not reject having sex with Ji Wanyuan, and he was indeed not as disgusted with her foolishness and frivolity as before. Perhaps he had really gotten used to tolerating her.
How can this not be considered expressing one's true feelings?
"Do you like me, or do you like having sex with me?" she kept asking.
"I like them all..."
It's really too painful; he's been holding back his emotions to the extreme.
His voice was so hoarse that it trembled slightly.
A barrage of hot kisses landed on Ji Wanyuan's fair neck.
I really wanted to kiss her hard, but I couldn't.
Because she was trembling, he said he would be gentle.
He kept soothing her resistance and her resistant emotions.
Before it even started, Ji Wanyuan was already sobbing.
She was frustrated and uneasy, not knowing how things had turned out this way.
According to the plan, the person who was supposed to be intimate with Wen Qiyan was Cao's cousin.
How did it become her?
She felt like she had tried to draw water with a bamboo basket but ended up losing everything, like she had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
This even aroused Wen Qiyan's suspicion. If he didn't stay with him now, leaving him in such an uncomfortable state, who knows what might happen tomorrow.
Just consider it as if it got chewed by a dog...
She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and cuddled him tenderly, her intermittent sobs reaching his ears.
He looked up, knowing she had given her consent, and kissed her lips.
His large hand moved downwards, touching the young woman's soft, fragrant chest.
It was already very gentle.
But she still said no, could he not be so rough, and even frowned as she asked him if he was lying to her? Was he going to start bullying her like before?
Wen Qiyan stopped and patiently softened his touch as he kissed her lips. They soon became red and swollen, and he was afraid she would moan and cry out in pain again.
So his kisses landed on her eyebrows, eyes, bridge of her nose, tip of her nose, and all over her cheeks…
The scent emanating from Ji Wanyuan was completely masked by his crisp, clean aura.
After a short while, it started to go down again.
Ji Wanyuan listened to the sounds of the man kissing her chest and tried her best to endure it.
Wen Qiyan seemed to really like her gentleness.
I lingered there repeatedly, looking left and right, never neglecting any of the places.
Ji Wanyuan lowered her eyes and saw only the man's handsome face pressed against her chest, "..."
Not only that, was he trying to please her?
He even bent down and kissed her downwards.
Last time, he didn't even kiss her lips, but this time he kissed her waist and abdomen.
In order to overthrow the Ji family and fulfill the imperial decree to grant him official rank and titles, he truly humbled himself.
snort!
Ji Wanyuan's toes curled up involuntarily, and she let out a delicate, pitiful cry that warmed the heart and soul of anyone who heard it.
Unlike their first time, Wen Qiyan was very patient.
Because he knew very well how delicate and petite Ji Wanyuan was.
He kissed her and coaxed her for a long time.
She first used her long, jade-like fingers to cross the river.
After resting in a place that hadn't been visited in a long time, the stream washed over the Spring Scenery courtyard.
He had just braved the rain and trudged through the muddy path into the bright spring courtyard.
Even so, because no outsiders had come for a long time, the flowers, leaves, and butterflies in Spring View Garden were quite frightened. They not only fled and cowered in all directions, but also launched an attack on him, trying to drive this outsider out.
"Relax, don't be nervous, okay..."
Even though he had expected it, he was somewhat embarrassed for the first time in this confrontation where violence was not allowed.
He looked pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, with veins bulging, after being ostracized and driven away.
However, they couldn't take too many actions to deal with it, which made things rather complicated.
Ji Wanyuan felt uncomfortable. She buried her face in the soft pillow and cried hard. Her long hair was stuck to her neck. She didn't want to listen to him at all and looked very resistant.
We let him do whatever he wants, finish it sooner, and rest sooner.
Wen Qiyan truly felt he was going to die here.
Was Ji Wanyuan sent by heaven to take him away?
Since I met her, I haven't had a single day without suffering. I can't hit her or scold her. Before we had contact, at least I could scold her and tell her to get lost.
Now I can't say a word to her, I have to coax her, and even have to be humble.
Wen Qiyan gently pulled her face out from under the soft pillow, and seeing her crying, kissed her eyebrows and eyes.
"It hurts that much?"
It's definitely much better than the previous two times, but it's still uncomfortable.
It wasn't just that having sex with him was painful, but my heart was also aching.
How did things turn out this way?
Half an hour ago, she was happily thinking that if Wen Qiyan touched Cao Xin, she might still have one option: to go home and make a scene.
It is said that Wen Qiyan promised his mother, Madam Ji, that he would never take a concubine in his life, but he was doing these things with his cousin in her courtyard. When she makes a fuss about getting a divorce, maybe it will work?
This marriage was bestowed by the Emperor, and her status is quite noble. If Wen Qiyan made a mistake, perhaps her father could seek justice for her.
Now look what's happened; all our plans have fallen through.
She became the one who got messed with.
How could she be so stupid? She's useless at everything.
Thinking of this, she cried even harder, not wanting to hear what he had to say, only hoping he would finish quickly.
But he was slow, and even stopped.
Why are you asking?
So annoying.
She had never found Wen Qiyan so annoying.
His hard abs were so painful to her, and hitting him hurt her too.
If she didn't want to talk to him, she pulled her hand away from his and buried her face in the soft pillow again, refusing to answer.
The man persisted, asking, "What's wrong with it?"
He saw that she was crying so hard that the soft pillow was soaked.
"Can you please stop asking?" she urged him to hurry up.
"If I'm really fast, won't you cry and say I'm bullying you again?"
"Aren't you bullying me?" She was incredibly annoyed, her temper flaring up, her tone harsh and impatient as she tried to beat around the bush with him.
Faced with her impatience, the man remained silent again.
A feeling of frustration welled up in Wen Qiyan's heart, and he really didn't know what to say.
He frowned, unable to help but wonder, was his bedroom skill really that bad?
Ji Wanyuan's coldness towards him stemmed from her constant avoidance of him after their first two sexual encounters; even when he tried to hug her, she would stiffen up.
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes and glanced at himself, giving himself a moment of self-reflection.
This one doesn't seem too bad, does it?
But she wouldn't even look at it?
But Wen Qiyan also knew that even with favorable conditions and natural advantages, if he didn't make the most of them, he would indeed be... quite poor.
Thinking of this, he slowly began to move, trying to relieve the pain caused by the drug, but he couldn't feel any pleasure because of her lack of cooperation, and even more so because of what Ji Wanyuan said.
"..."
She really cries easily.
I never knew before that she was crying even though her soft pillow was soaked with tears.
Her eyes were pitifully red at the corners, looking listless.
He lowered his head to kiss her, but she dodged, sniffing her equally red nose, telling him to stop.
She's so charming no matter how you look at her.
"Are you ready yet?" she asked haltingly.
"Can't you feel it?"
Seemingly having adapted, the flower and leaf butterflies in the Spring View Garden realized that they could not get rid of this foreign "giant" and could only accept its existence.
Therefore, a consensus is being reached, but this will take time.
I sensed it; she just wanted to urge me on.
Seeing through her trick, he wasn't annoyed; his thin lips curved into a slight smile without him even realizing it.
"Is this alright?" he asked.
Ji Wanyuan did not want to answer.
She patted his hand, which was resting on her heart, and told him not to touch her anymore.
Before he could ask what was wrong, the pampered Miss Ji had already started crying out in pain.
He realized she was probably doing it on purpose, but he did comply and didn't touch her.
He saw her swaying right before his eyes, rippling like waves, yet never dissipating like the ripples on water, making him uncomfortable; she was truly alluring.
Wen Qiyan lowered his head and tentatively kissed him.
Seeing her lift her eyelids and glare at him slightly, he stopped after giving her a kiss.
"..."
About an hour later, Ji Wanyuan said she really had no strength left, and that she felt like she was having a miscarriage. She wanted to find a doctor to take a look and forced Wen Qiyan to stop.
He let out a long sigh and left as she wished.
The heat inside the curtains had not subsided, and neither of them was breathing steadily.
Ji Wanyuan was truly exhausted; she was already pregnant.
Wen Qiyan, however, felt that he was stuck in a limbo.
He watched her lying there languidly asleep, her eyes closed, her clothes not properly fastened, and his marks remaining on her neck; she was feigning sleep.
It's over. I didn't even glance at him.
Presumably, this affair was also unsatisfactory, otherwise it wouldn't have been stopped so quickly.
During this period, they made excuses and refused to allow this or that.
Even so, when Wen Qiyan carried her to wash up, he still asked her how she felt.
These words were inappropriate, and made him feel particularly awkward as he looked at Ji Wanyuan, who was sitting in the bathtub with her eyes closed, waiting for him to wipe her down.
He felt like a male prostitute at a brothel, waiting for his clients' comments after the act.
Thinking of this, his expression changed slightly and looked rather unpleasant.
Naturally, Ji Wanyuan didn't see it at all.
Even if they hear it, they pretend they don't.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qiyan asked again, and even pinched her ear.
She looked up and saw that the man's lust had not subsided, but his face had returned to its usual cold and aloof expression.
"...It's alright." She said reluctantly.
"Where is it okay? Where is it not okay?" he asked again.
Ji Wanyuan didn't understand why he was pressing her for more details, asking her so persistently.
Their eyes met.
After a moment of silence, Ji Wanyuan didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Reflect on it," the man said, throwing her a single sentence.
She truly had delicate skin; despite the seemingly gentle treatment, many marks had already appeared on her body.
"I can't explain it." She refused to say.
"If you don't tell me, how can I improve?"
Ji Wanyuan took a breath, almost blurting out that he still wanted to sleep with her in the future.
She doesn't want to.
There won't be a next time!
But you can't say these things to Wen Qiyan, in case he goes crazy again.
"I'm a little sleepy," she said.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Wen Qiyan didn't press her further, but just looked at her evasive eyes for a while.
"..."
After tidying up, he carried the drowsy Ji Wanyuan back to the main courtyard.
The maids, old women, and servants waiting outside, seeing this, dared not speak and lowered their heads even further.
While Wen Qiyan was taking a bath, Ji Wanyuan secretly called Emerald over and asked her where Cao Xin was.
Jade said with a complicated expression, "Miss Cao returned to her own courtyard, and she didn't look too well."
When things fall through, who can be happy?
"Miss...you and the young master are..."
Is this some kind of commotion?
But it doesn't seem like it.
As Wen Qiyan was leaving the study from the other side, Emerald bumped into him.
The man, his face grim, asked her where Ji Wanyuan was.
Jade dared not speak, but Wen Qiyan's face was so grim and chilling that she had no choice but to tell him.
After receiving the answer, Wen Qiyan left. Emerald wanted to follow, but Wen Qiyan's subordinates detained them all.
Jade is very worried that something bad will happen.
But to everyone's surprise, it didn't look like anything had happened; the two seemed to have just had a good time...
"Don't mention this again!" Ji Wanyuan gritted her teeth angrily.
"It's just bad luck!" But she would never let herself be fooled a second time.
Wen Qiyan, that scoundrel, used both soft and hard tactics. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had no choice but to bow his head. He was indeed no match for him.
It seems we need to think of other solutions. If all else fails, we'll have to go home and call for reinforcements.
"This servant noticed that the young master seems to have changed his attitude towards you quite a bit, Miss, perhaps you should stop making things difficult..."
Ji Wanyuan glared at her, and the completely unaware Emerald immediately fell silent.
After staring at her for a while, Ji Wanyuan sighed, "You just don't understand."
She wasn't causing trouble; she was saving lives.
"Miss--"
"Alright, I need to rest now. You can go now." Ji Wanyuan pulled the quilt over her head.
Jade saw the fresh hickeys on the back of her neck, but ultimately said nothing, added some perfume, and left.
Ji Wanyuan pondered what to do next, but she was so exhausted from all the commotion that she unconsciously fell asleep.
When Wen Qiyan came out, she was already fast asleep.
Even when he got into bed and held her in his arms, she didn't struggle much, only moving a few times.
Seeing her gentle demeanor, it seems that today's attempt to "get close to her" had some effect.
After bathing and taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, the emotions caused by the fluctuations of lust on the man's face completely subsided, and he returned to his expressionless state.
He looked at the person in his arms, thinking about her unusual behavior today.
Perhaps he had overlooked something long ago.
Putting aside recent events, the key is to find out if Ji Wanyuan knows something.
After much thought, tracing back in time, he remembered something else: the Emperor's decree to marry him.
Prime Minister Ji went to the palace to meet the Emperor and asked him to rescind his decree, saying that it was really inappropriate for the two families to form a marriage alliance.
At the time, he thought that Prime Minister Ji was unwilling to agree to the marriage, but now he realizes...
Perhaps it's not Prime Minister Ji, but possibly Ji Wanyuan...
Did she not want to marry him back then?
Thinking of this, the man's cool eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his eyes darkened.
