Chapter 46 Because of Beauty
Their eyes met.
For some reason, Ye Mingzhu felt her heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest!
She suddenly lost her ability to react, staring blankly at the man in front of her.
Belatedly, she realized she had asked a question she shouldn't have, and the situation was a bit dangerous...
If she had known, she wouldn't have asked. Why did she have to confirm her suspicions?
Is there anything important about it?
However, before she could back down with a forced smile, Sheng Yunche noticed her little scheme.
He suddenly tightened his grip on her chin, chuckled softly, and provoked her by asking, "You were just about to slap me, but now you don't even dare to ask a question, huh?"
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
"Keep asking, or you won't get any sleep tonight," Sheng Yunche said.
Ye Mingzhu was speechless, glaring at him with embarrassment and anger.
Sheng Yunche raised an eyebrow and chuckled, his eyes telling her with a blatant look what she could do if she didn't sleep.
Thinking of his outrageous behavior last night, Ye Mingzhu's pretty face turned bright red.
In a moment of confusion, she blurted out, "You couldn't possibly be after her because of her looks."
“How could it not be?” Sheng Yunche retorted. “Isn’t it precisely because you know this that you’re acting so coquettishly and ‘manipulating’ me?”
"Huh?" Ye Mingzhu was truly dumbfounded.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened, reminiscent of a frightened cat.
Sheng Yunche couldn't help but laugh out loud, and lowered his head to peck at her lips, confirming her answer: "I just want your body."
Ye Mingzhu couldn't believe it: "You just admit it like that?"
"What's the point of admitting it?"
Anyway, she can't escape.
Sheng Yunche carried her to the bed, lowered his head and gently bit and kissed her earlobe.
His voice was deep and cheerful: "The moment I saw you, I wanted to have sex with you... You said you wanted to be my husband, and I thought it was wonderful."
"I've walked right into your trap, of course you think that's good," Ye Mingzhu said, her ears burning. "But there are so many women in the world..."
"So what if there are more?" Sheng Yunche casually retorted, his gaze towards her arrogant and unrestrained, making no attempt to conceal his domineering possessiveness towards her.
Ye Mingzhu's mind was in turmoil.
The word "shocked" is not enough to describe her feelings.
Actually, she had already had a vague suspicion before, and even had the idea of "taming beasts" because of it, but the conclusion was too unbelievable, so she didn't think about it too much.
Even now that Sheng Yunche has said it himself, she still finds it absurd.
In his heart, was sex more important than life itself? Just because he wanted to have sex with her, he agreed to her proposal?
Sheng Yunche began, "Tonight..."
"Not tonight..." Ye Mingzhu took a deep breath, suddenly regained her confidence, and said while suppressing the heat on her face, "Your body still needs to be recuperated, it really can't be."
"relative……"
"Not even kissing!" Ye Mingzhu was both ashamed and angry. She didn't want to mention what happened last night, but she was afraid that if he continued to do that, it would hurt her even more. So she could only mumble, "...It's all broken, it hurts a lot."
Sheng Yunche was clearly taken aback. His composed expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "...I did it?"
"Otherwise what?" Ye Mingzhu glared at him, her eyes filled with anger.
Sheng Yunche: "...Let me see."
Ye Mingzhu quickly covered her chest: "No."
But how could a weak woman like her possibly win against a grown man?
Finally, her outer garment and bodice were ripped off, and she lay on her back on the bed, feeling both ashamed and angry. Like an ostrich, she raised her hand to cover her eyes, pretending that she was a clay doll.
Sheng Yunche didn't really do anything reckless.
After seeing her injury, he instinctively pulled her clothes closer together, coughed softly, and said, "I'll be more careful next time."
Seeing his unusually shameless demeanor, Ye Mingzhu suddenly had an idea: "Lord Duke, after I have cured your illness, may I continue practicing medicine?"
Sheng Yunche replied without hesitation: "The Duke's mansion is large and prosperous, why would you need to work so hard? No need."
Ye Mingzhu then asked, "...What if I want to? I'm a doctor not for any other reason than because I love it."
"You want to be a female doctor?" Sheng Yunche asked in surprise, but then said rationally, "As the Duchess of the State, the people who are qualified to trouble you are all in the palace. The palace has the Imperial Hospital. Even if I were willing to let you practice medicine, I'm afraid the nobles in the palace would not dare to entrust their lives to a young woman like you."
He's usually a man of few words, but his seriousness was evident at that moment.
But Ye Mingzhu felt her mind suddenly clear.
Men and women are different.
It's true that he lusted after her body, but it's also true that he didn't want her to appear in public.
"Oh..." she said gently, her expression unchanged, "I won't say anymore, it's getting late, go to sleep. You have to get up at 3 AM tomorrow to attend the morning court."
Sheng Yunche glanced at her and asked, "Are you angry?"
"No."
"Really not?"
"No," Ye Mingzhu said. "Go to sleep."
"……good."
The two were really ready to rest.
Ye Mingzhu bit her lip, trying hard to hold back, but she was so angry that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep all night if she forced herself to...
She turned to look at Sheng Yunche beside her, a smile on her face, and asked in a sweet voice, "Lord Duke, would you like to consummate our marriage?"
Sheng Yunche was instantly wide awake. He rolled over, propped himself up on his arm, and looked intently at her with his dark phoenix eyes, demonstrating his desire through his actions.
I still really want to.
"You want to, right? Hmm, I understand..." Ye Mingzhu smiled sweetly at him, her almond-shaped eyes alluring, but the next moment she changed her expression and fell asleep, turning her back to him and saying leisurely, "Then you can continue thinking, I'm going to rest."
Sheng Yunche: "...?"
The sudden surge of passion in my heart quickly turned into astonishment.
"Ye Mingzhu!" Realizing he'd been tricked, he was almost laughing in anger. With a grim face and a dangerous tone, he said, "Get up!"
