The hand on her shoulder was only warm, but Gan Qiongying felt it was burning hot, her whole body tensed up, and her heartbeat gradually quickened.
But Gan Qiongying quickly calmed down because she realized that after spending so much time together, Li Hua might indeed have developed feelings for her.
Previously, when Li Hua asked to be held at the birthday banquet of the Grand Princess of Hui'an, Gan Qiongying had made this guess.
But aside from hugging her that time, Li Hua didn't mention anything else, so Gan Qiongying didn't think about it anymore. But now it seems...
Gan Qiongying tilted her head slightly, looking at the hand on her shoulder, because she could feel the trembling and force in that hand; clearly, Li Hua was also nervous.
Gan Qiongying closed her eyes and then quickly opened them again. She then slowly turned around and reached out to grasp Li Hua's trembling hand.
The two hadn't met each other since they got off the carriage, so when Li Hua's hand trembled, his first reaction was to look away, but the next second he gripped Gan Qiongying's hand tightly.
The two held hands and gazed at each other, their passion silently escalating, almost burning them together.
Gan Qiongying looked at Li Hua with gentle eyes, inwardly making excuses for the God of Wealth.
If Li Hua really had such thoughts, it wouldn't be strange. On the contrary, it would be strange if they hadn't consummated their marriage even after several months of marriage.
Gan Qiongying carefully considered and planned. If the two of them had a real relationship, they would be able to do things more legitimately, and it would be easier for her to ask for money. Judging from the current situation, in order to complete her escape plan, she would have to set up two routes, one overt and one covert.
The open path was used to deceive everyone, while the hidden path was her and Gan Lin's way to survive. However, she didn't have enough people around her, and the cost of recruiting people to risk their lives would be considerable. Two hundred thousand taels a month was really a stretch.
If they had consummated their marriage, and Gan Qiongying were a little "extravagant," wouldn't Li Hua, being so gentle, have indulged her?
Gan Qiongying did not regard matters between men and women as something terrible or monstrous. Everyone was an adult, and it was perfectly normal for them to help each other understand each other.
Moreover, Gan Qiongying could understand that the God of Wealth was, after all, a man. Since the two of them ate and slept together, it was inevitable that the God of Wealth would be tempted by worldly desires.
Such an analysis is entirely beneficial and without any drawbacks.
Just as Gan Qiongying was about to go with the flow, Li Hua suddenly reached out and tapped Gan Qiongying's forehead.
Li Hua tried to restrain himself, but he still greedily raised his hand and touched the spot where he had kissed him during the day.
He traced the contours of her brow bone, and when he reached her eye socket, Gan Qiongying's trembling eyelashes brushed against his finger. He flinched slightly, but did not pull away. Instead, he gently touched her thick eyelashes and then stroked Gan Qiongying's delicate nose.
A layer of sweat also seeped from Li Hua's fingertips, gliding across Gan Qiongying's fair and delicate cheeks and stopping at the corner of Gan Qiongying's lips.
Gan Qiongying didn't dare to move. She felt as if a feather was gently brushing her face, making her feel incredibly itchy, or as if warm water was flowing over her, which felt extremely comfortable.
Li Hua's fingers gently pressed against Gan Qiongying's lips. The warm and soft touch made the hairs on his body stand on end. He seemed to be startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
Li Hua lowered her head, closed her eyes, and covered her chest with her hand under the covers, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
He closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, and after a while he opened them again, meeting Gan Qiongying's gaze once more.
Gan Qiongying suddenly opened her mouth and said something to Li Hua.
Li Hua was immediately jolted, wondering if he was hallucinating.
After confirming several times, he finally understood what Gan Qiongying was saying. Gan Qiongying asked him, "You want to... have sex with me, you know, that kind of sexual intercourse?"
Li Hua clutched his chest tightly, his inner garment crumpled from the grip, and his ears and neck were flushed a deep red. He couldn't believe his ears, but it turned out he had indeed heard it.
Gan Qiongying noticed Li Hua's breathing quicken and sensed his tension. Having experienced the information explosion of modern times, she knew from Li Hua's expression that he was completely ignorant. Therefore, she felt she should take on the responsibility of flirting.
With one corner of the blanket lifted, Gan Qiongying propped herself up on her arms.
She didn't think she was nervous, but she unconsciously swallowed twice, and her back was covered in damp sweat. She slowly moved closer, but her gaze didn't waver, and she kept staring into Li Hua's eyes.
Li Hua's eyes gradually widened as he watched Gan Qiongying get closer and closer, her hand already on his shoulder, her warm breath brushing against his face.
The two were so close they were about to touch. Gan Qiongying paused, coughed lightly, and reached for the ties of her inner garment, then untied them.
As her clothes slowly came undone, Li Hua suddenly reached out and pressed down on Gan Qiongying's collar, which had slipped down her shoulder.
He pressed her back onto the bed, his long, slender fingers quickly tying her sash.
Then I immediately lay back down in my original position, forgetting to breathe the whole time, until I felt a sharp pain in my chest and my vision went black.
Gan Qiongying fell onto the bed. She looked at Li Hua in disbelief, but Li Hua had already turned around and was facing the inside of the bed, leaving only his back to her, and his hands were still tightly gripping the quilt.
Gan Qiongying blinked, her attempt to offer herself backfired, and she was instead pinned down.
She felt a sense of guilt, as if she had offended a deity. Li Hua's reaction left her feeling somewhat helpless, as if she were some kind of jackal, tiger, leopard, or bandit trying to force herself on Li Hua.
However, after Gan Qiongying moved her body a few times and lay back down on the bed, she actually felt a sense of relief and even wanted to laugh a little.
She really misunderstood...
But with her being so proactive tonight, won't the God of Wealth think she's too lecherous?
She swore she really wasn't a lecher!
Li Hua was completely unable to think while facing the wall; his mind was blank. He was undoubtedly excited by Gan Qiongying's initiative.
But he couldn't see any tenderness or love in Gan Qiongying's eyes. She undressed as if it were a sacrifice, as if it were only to satisfy his unconcealed thoughts and desires.
Li Hua could not accept such intimacy.
That's wrong.
This was completely different from what Li Hua had imagined.
And they just kissed on the forehead during the day, and now they're having sex that night? That's way too fast...
At the very least, it has to be done step by step, and most importantly, he can't sense Gan Qiongying's desire for him.
