Chapter 107 I'm ready, I'm about to get into your bed.
Just now in my dream, I—
Shang Ruyi hurriedly let go of his hand and subconsciously jumped up from the bed. Just as she was about to say something, Yuwen Ye reached out again, but instead of grabbing her hand, he covered her mouth.
"you--"
Shang Ruyi made a dazed sound, her whole body still trembling, when she saw Yuwen Ye getting closer and closer, looking down at her, and saying in a deep voice, "Don't make a sound."
"..."
Only when she heard his cold, emotionless voice did Shang Ruyi finally regain a sliver of her senses.
She stared wide-eyed at Yuwen Ye: "What are you doing?"
Yuwen Ye calmly said, "Didn't you tell me to wake you up first before getting into your bed?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi was startled again, and then she understood.
Yes, in order to avoid the servants noticing anything amiss, Yuwen Ye would get into her bed before the servants came in to serve them, acting like a newlywed couple being intimate and affectionate. Every time he got close, her heart would pound and she would be flustered. That's why she asked him to wake her up first before getting into bed.
Looking back now, my panic is all too clear in his eyes.
Looking at her pale face, Yuwen Ye asked without any emotion, "Are you ready?"
"..."
"I'm ready, I'm going to get into your bed."
Shang Ruyi's ear tips turned red.
After a long pause, she gritted her teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "You, come up here."
Just last night, the two of them almost had a falling out, but now, Yuwen Ye still tries to be intimate with her as if nothing had happened, and even wants her to agree to it verbally. This feeling is even more painful than having her clothes ripped off.
Just as Shang Ruyi was heartbroken, Yuwen Ye lay down beside her. Immediately, his warm and steady aura enveloped her completely.
That aura was chilling.
Shang Ruyi gritted her teeth, instinctively wanting to back away, but then she thought better of it and remained stiffly seated, watching him get closer to her.
Yuwen Ye looked into her eyes, then reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.
"..."
Shang Ruyi never knew that tranquility could also be a form of emotional torture.
Even without looking up, she could feel his gaze sweeping over every inch of her body, seeing through her palpitations and her endurance. Even the temperature of Yuwen Ye's palm was an endless torment to her.
That night, the questions that had haunted her like a nightmare churned within her once more—
Why is it that I fall for her?
Why, of all people, did I fall for him?
Even if she asked herself these questions a thousand times, she would not have any answers. The only thing that was clear to her was this man's hand, strong but without any warmth or emotion, pulling her into his arms. At this moment, he even reached out to stroke her cheek and brush the stray hairs from her temples behind her ears.
Shang Ruyi wanted to tell him—there's no need for that.
Such intimacy is unnecessary when no one is watching.
But just as she raised her head to speak, she met Yuwen Ye's deep eyes, and there was a noticeable darkness in his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well last night either.
After looking down at her for a while, Yuwen Ye suddenly said, "Compared to being my wife, being my father's daughter-in-law is more important, isn't it?"
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, the shock in her eyes was also noticed by him.
Yuwen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was about to say something more, but just then, the voices of Tushe'er and Woxue could be heard outside—
"Young master, young mistress, are you getting up?"
Yuwen Ye kept his eyes fixed on hers, unblinking: "Come in."
The door creaked open.
As soon as the two maids entered, they caught a glimpse of the scene on the bed and blushed. They exchanged a glance and seemed relieved.
What happened yesterday, plus the noise in the room last night, made everyone in the family worry that the two might have a fight, but to their surprise, they were still so close. It seems that their relationship is really good.
So, Tushe'er and the others happily went off to get busy.
At this moment, Shang Ruyi couldn't stay any longer and immediately tried to get up from the bed. But as soon as she moved, she felt the hands around her waist tightly restraining her, making her unable to move.
Shang Ruyi frowned and looked up at Yuwen Ye: "...?"
But she saw that the other person's gaze was cold and piercing, staring intently into her eyes, and then whispered in her ear: "One day, I will find out what you are plotting."
"..."
Shang Ruyi lowered her head, feeling his hot breath on her neck, and a tingling sensation throughout her body made her tremble.
After a long stalemate, she finally mustered some strength and looked up at him.
"That's your business, you don't need to tell me."
"...!?"
Yuwen Ye's gaze sharpened, and Shang Ruyi took the opportunity to push his hands away, leaving the embrace that had been causing her so much torment, and got out of bed.
Seeing her get up, Tushe'er immediately came forward to help her wash up.
Yuwen Ye remained seated on the bed, watching her slender back as his gaze deepened.

Soon after, the two finished washing up and sat down to eat breakfast together.
As soon as she sat down, Wo Xue placed a steaming bowl of soup with a slight medicinal smell in front of Shang Ruyi.
Shang Ruyi frowned: "This is—"
Wo Xue smiled and said, "Young Master asked the kitchen to prepare this last night, saying that the young mistress caught a chill and needed to drink some medicinal soup to dispel the cold these past two days."
"..."
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly and looked up at Yuwen Ye.
At this moment, the aloof and unapproachable Yuwen Ye from last night seemed to have vanished. He sat opposite him and calmly said, "Autumn is here, the weather is getting cooler, and eating some medicinal food is good for your health."
"..."
Shang Ruyi remained silent for a while, then nodded and picked up the soup bowl to drink it in small sips.
He's right, it's indeed good to nourish the body in autumn, and this medicinal soup has obviously been simmering for several hours. It's thick and fragrant, and drinking it in this kind of weather can warm your heart.
She drank the hot drink, but she didn't know where her heart was.
After drinking the soup and half a bowl of porridge, Shang Ruyi put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and then said to Tu She'er, "She'er, bring in the things we bought yesterday in a little while."
After saying that, he turned to Yuwen Ye opposite him and said, "You're going to mail the letter to your father today, right? Remember to include the boxes of pastries I bought."
Yuwen Ye nodded: "Mm."
Just then, a servant walked in from outside, looking slightly uneasy. He stood at the door and said, "Second Young Master, Young Madam."
Yuwen Ye glanced at him: "What?"
The servant said, "General Wang of the Right Guard has arrived. He wants to see the young master and the young mistress."
