Wen Nongnong swallowed hard. For some reason, she suddenly felt very thirsty. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Linchao came to his senses and said somewhat awkwardly, "Don't overthink it."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
What do you mean, "don't overthink it"? Doesn't he think about it too?
"Don't feel pressured because of what Mother said. I'll take care of everything," Gu Linchao added.
Wen Nongnong: "..."
What does tonight's matter have to do with the Empress Dowager? Didn't he send someone to tell her to come and serve him in bed?
So, it turns out he didn't have that kind of intention before?
Fortunately, Wen Nongnong had a thick skin; she was only slightly embarrassed before recovering.
She tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Your Highness, I'm a little thirsty..."
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then turned to look at her.
Seeing her looking at him with pure and innocent eyes, without the slightest discomfort because of what she had just said, he realized that she was not at all uncomfortable.
He paused for a moment, then said gently, "I'll go get you some water."
"Thank you, Your Highness," she said immediately.
Gu Linchao paused upon hearing this, disliking her distant tone.
"There's no need for thanks between us," he said softly after a moment.
"Oh." Wen Nongnong nodded, sat up, and watched his figure leave the outer room.
He began to have doubts.
Gu Linchao must be a reincarnated monk, otherwise why would he remain unmoved in the face of such a beauty as her?
If she hadn't witnessed his loss of control in the dilapidated temple, she would have thought he was truly impotent.
Thinking of what happened in the dilapidated temple, her face flushed slightly.
Don't be fooled by Gu Linchao's aloof and unhurried demeanor; he is actually quite capable.
The last time she sat on his lap, she felt uncomfortable.
I really want to see him lose control again...
When Gu Linchao came in with a water glass, he saw the girl kneeling on the edge of the bed, her head lowered, seemingly lost in thought. She was quiet and well-behaved, as if the bold words she had just uttered did not come from her own mouth.
He paused for a moment and handed her the water glass.
Wen Nongnong came to her senses, took the cup, and sipped it slowly, but her eyes were secretly watching the man standing in front of the bed.
The luminous pearl inside the bed curtains emitted a gentle light, illuminating this small space.
The man was tall and slender, with an upright posture. Perhaps due to his military background, he always possessed a very special aura, regardless of his status or position. Even when he was only wearing a simple undergarment, he had a charm that made it impossible to look away.
Gu Linchao was lost in thought when his gaze unexpectedly met her wet eyes. His fingers, which were at his sides, tightened involuntarily, and he suddenly felt a dryness in his mouth.
He loosened his collar, took the empty cup she handed him, and walked out into the outer room.
He felt a little better after drinking a cup of cold tea.
Wen Nongnong lay down on the inside of the bed and waited for a while before Gu Linchao returned.
She was actually a little puzzled. If Gu Linchao didn't want to consummate their marriage, why did he call her over to serve him in bed? Did he really just want to sleep with her?
She found it somewhat unbelievable.
Is it that Gu Linchao has too much self-control, or is it that he is truly without desire or need in that area?
She's already been so blunt; any man should be moved by that.
In addition, she was also curious to see Gu Linchao lose his composure, so she rolled her eyes and came up with a plan.
