Chapter 14 The virginity mark pierces the flower branch, petals and leaves fall.
His mother has probably given up on him by now... With his current status, he not only cannot bring glory to the family, but has also become a disgrace to the family.
A deep look of pain appeared on Lu Lingyue's face.
"This is nothing. I haven't done anything yet, so why does Young Master Lu look like he's been bullied?" Yuan Yan found the change in his expression ridiculous.
If she hadn't won today, Yuan Yan would have faced a thousand times more ridicule than Lu Lingyue and the Lu family are currently experiencing. The Lu family didn't anticipate the consequences when they did this, and now that the evil has fallen on their own heads, they know how painful it is.
Yuan Yan coldly watched as Lu Lingyue was overwhelmed by her inner pain, showing no sympathy whatsoever.
She felt that his aloofness, coupled with a hint of vulnerability, made him seem alluring and tempting, which stirred a desire within her.
"It's late at night." Yuan Yan didn't say much, only following his heart.
Yuan Yan now wants to rest here.
Given the circumstances, Lu Lingyue would certainly know the meaning behind those words.
Lu Lingyue was still immersed in her indescribable emotions when she suddenly heard these words. She couldn't help but raise her head, her face showing astonishment.
He was abducted tonight, and after experiencing his mother's punishment and the drastic change in his identity, his emotions were in turmoil, and he completely forgot about the matter of consummating their marriage.
What's more, the person he was supposed to marry tonight was Yuan Jing, but now it has suddenly become Yuan Yan.
Lu Lingyue was, after all, a man, and no matter how calm he was usually, he couldn't immediately adapt to the situation.
"No, I don't want to sleep yet..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingyue's first reaction was to refuse. She forced herself to compose herself and said, "This place is too small, Your Highness, may I go out to rest?"
"This is my inner courtyard. Not only do the tables, chairs, and beds here belong to me, but you are also my person... I can rest wherever I want, what right do you have to refuse?"
Yuan Yan sneered, feeling that Lu Lingyue seemed to have no idea of the current situation, and that it was somewhat ungrateful of her to say such things now.
“I am now Your Highness’s consort, and that cannot be changed. Why must Your Highness be in such a hurry to consummate our marriage today…”
Lu Lingyue was in turmoil, filled with worry for her mother and anxiety about her own situation. She had no desire to consummate her marriage with Yuan Yan, nor did she want to surrender herself to him amidst such turmoil.
"Lu Lingyue, do I look like a fool you can easily fool?" Yuan Yan sneered, speaking sarcastically.
"How come you can marry the King of Qi, but when it comes to me, I always find excuses to refuse?"
"All the sincerity I've shown you over the years means nothing to you; it's nothing compared to a single hair on my elder sister's head."
"That's why people say power is good. With power, countless men will throw themselves into your arms. Without power, even your long-time fiancé can immediately turn to another woman."
At this moment, Yuan Yan seemed to be controlled by the original owner's emotions and said the words that the original owner had buried in his heart.
"...Think what you want. Since His Highness Prince Yue thinks I am this kind of person, why should he stay with me?" Lu Lingyue's heart was slightly stung by her ruthless words, but she still suppressed her emotions, lowered her eyelashes, and turned her gaze away.
"Since that's the case, whether you do it or not tonight is probably not up to you."
Yuan Yan said no more to him, strode forward, picked up Lu Lingyue and pressed her down on the bed.
Lu Lingyue's body suddenly became suspended in mid-air, and feeling uneasy, she couldn't help but resist.
"No... Your Highness, please calm down..." He reached out and grabbed Yuan Yan's sleeve, pleading.
In the struggle, Lu Lingyue's sleeves became disheveled, revealing her shoulder, which was fair and smooth, like a piece of lustrous jade.
A touch of vermilion adorned his shoulder, adding a splash of red to the white jade.
Yuan Yan learned from his memories that this was the virginity mark that every man in the Phoenix Kingdom would have applied from birth, which would only bloom once in his life for his wife.
Yuan Yan reached out and stroked it a couple of times, making the color even more vibrant red.
This was the first time she had ever seen the mark of virginity on a man's body, and her eyes couldn't help but become deep and mysterious.
Lu Lingyue felt the skin that Yuan Yan had touched, and felt it burning hot, as if it were on fire.
However, Yuan Yan's actions did not stop there.
"Ayan, please..." A tear glistened in his eyes.
"This shouldn't be happening... Don't do this to me..."
Lu Lingyue used his last bit of strength to stop her, but the distorted pleading voice sounded unfamiliar even to himself.
"It's too late. This is what you owe me. You owe too much, so today I'll take some of the compensation myself."
...
Amidst the chaotic mess of red wedding dresses scattered on the floor, an arm suddenly gripped the bed curtains tightly before falling limply down... The mark of virginity on it gradually faded and disappeared.
That night, Yuan Yan took everything he wanted from Lu Lingyue without any mercy.
When Lu Lingyue woke up exhausted the next day, she felt sore all over and weak.
Thinking of Yuan Yan's behavior last night, Lu Lingyue knew that she had treated her like a servant without any affection.
In the past, Yuan Yan would never have done this. Although many people say that the Second Prince is not as gentle and refined as the First Prince, Yuan Yan treats him with consideration and politeness, without the slightest imperfection.
However, how did things gradually turn out this way...?
His eyes were stinging as he stared at the bed curtains above him. A single, unseen tear slid down his cheek and disappeared into the bed.
Yuan Yan, on the other hand, had the opposite view.
After venting all the pent-up frustration that belonged to the original owner of her heart, she woke up the next day feeling refreshed and clear-headed, with an unprecedented sense of ease washing over her.
This means the original owner has finally let go of their obsession. Yuan Yan seemed lost in thought.
“Go and help the servant up.”
She didn't look at Lu Lingyue again, and with the help of the male servants, she got up, leaving him alone on the bed.
[Host, wouldn't you call this what you humans call "heartless after getting out of bed"?]
"Really? But I didn't have any feelings for him to begin with. The little affection we had was long ago exhausted when the Lu family broke off the engagement." Yuan Yan spoke to the system as he walked out.
[But I see that men in this country value their first time very much and hope their wives will treat them gently... Host, aren't you afraid of hurting his feelings by treating him so roughly?]
"Right now, I'm merely enjoying Lu Lingyue's body and exercising the rights that a wife should have. As for what Lu Lingyue thinks or does, what does it have to do with me?" Yuan Yan replied indifferently, walking out of the courtyard without stopping.
Last night she only took a concubine, not married a high-ranking official, so she didn't get a chance to rest. Today she still needs to attend court, and she doesn't have time to waste here with Lu Lingyue.
...
Several hours later, the Lu family arrived.
All the servants who were delivering the dowry were stopped outside the Prince's mansion. After the guards inspected the chests, they carried the items inside, but refused to let the Lu family members enter.
