Chapter 113:
She was indignant and filled with anger until she realized the man opposite her hadn’t spoken for a long time, then she suddenly reacted, realizing what reckless words she had said.
The anger in her heart turned into regret. Xie Wanning wished she could punch herself twice. How could she poke at someone’s sore spot like that.
Fine, her words did indeed cause a momentary astonishment on the face of the man who was usually calm in the face of any situation.
Pei Yuqing was stunned for several breaths before reacting to what she had said.
The room fell into a strange silence. Xie Wanning hung her head low, not daring to look at his expression, and said awkwardly, “What I just said was nonsense, don’t take it to heart…”
As she spoke, she felt she was making it worse, and said in an annoyed tone, “Forget it, if you want to move to the study, then go ahead. I’m not keeping you.”
She was really talking nonsense. His body was frail and he couldn’t… His heart must be more hurt than anyone’s.
Now that he had married a wife, spending every day with her in close proximity… sharing the same bed…
It would only constantly remind him of this heartbreaking fact.
And she said such hurtful words, reminding him that he couldn’t perform.
Living separately is fine too. There’s no need to lie on the same bed just because of others’ opinions.
Eager to remedy her earlier nonsense, she said understandingly, “Don’t overthink it. I don’t disdain you at all… Actually, this is pretty good. I…”
Before she finished speaking, she was startled into silence by the man who strode a few steps to stand in front of her.
Xie Wanning blinked in a daze. For a moment, she even thought he was furious and wanted to hit her.
But Pei Yuqing just looked at her with an indescribable gaze.
He was a head taller than her. His slightly lowered eyes were full of complex emotions. Upon closer inspection, his warm and handsome face had somehow taken on a slight flush.
“You… why do you think I…” He paused, pursed his lips, and said, “can’t perform?”
During the day, when he heard his wife’s conversation with his mother-in-law, he had been puzzled as to why she thought he was impotent.
On the wedding night, he had made some mistakes, causing her to be angry and unwilling to let him touch her. For the next two days, he had wanted to get close, but she had hugged the quilt, and the two of them slept separately as if it were natural.
He thought she had hastily married him to get rid of Lu Ziyan and had no intention of making their fake marriage real, so no matter how uncomfortable, he didn’t want to force her.
But… on the day of the third morning return to the parental home, he heard her heartfelt thoughts.
What did it mean that he couldn’t perform?
Xie Wanning was extremely embarrassed and explained softly, “That morning, I overheard a bit of your conversation with Mother in the room.”
“…I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, it’s just…” She stammered, no longer having her earlier angry momentum.
Pei Yuqing found it somewhat amusing and ridiculous. He pinched his brow and said seriously, “I said that so Mother wouldn’t pressure you. Even if we have difficulty with offspring in the future, she would only think it’s my problem.”
Xie Wanning was somewhat stunned. She remembered that during breakfast that day, the Princess had indeed mentioned a few words about having children, and her pupils slowly widened.
So, this man would rather hint to his mother that he was impotent just to spare her future difficulties with offspring?
The young lady’s pretty eyes were wide round, adorably so. Pei Yuqing held back but ultimately couldn’t, raising his hand to clasp her shoulder, pulling her into his arms. His lips naturally fell on her earlobe, kissing it lightly again and again.
Xie Wanning felt itchy from the kisses and turned her head to dodge, but the next instant, he gripped her nape to stop her. His warm breath clung closely to her ear.
“I didn’t know that Wanwan has been so aggrieved these past few days.” Perhaps finding it funny, his tone carried undisguised amusement, each word transmitting into Xie Wanning’s ear, making her face instantly flush red.
She finally remembered what she had said in her fit of anger just now!
What did it mean that she was already very aggrieved about him not being able to perform!
She…!
The large hand at her nape slowly kneaded. Pei Yuqing’s lips moved slowly from her ear tip to her jaw. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he suppressed the rising agitation, and he said in a low voice, “Actually, I’m very aggrieved too.”
“You hastily found someone to marry to get rid of Lu Ziyan. I thought…” He sighed softly. “I thought you weren’t willing to stay with me long-term and had always been prepared to leave.”
He was very aggrieved too.
The young lady who had gone to great lengths to scheme her way home was lying beside him. Their relationship was legitimate, but he didn’t dare move even a bit.
Xie Wanning had never heard him speak in such a aggrieved tone before. Her heart softened completely, and she unconsciously wanted to explain, but as soon as her lips moved, he lowered his head and captured them.
Compared to the first time when he was clumsy and only knew to rub lips together, Pei Yuqing’s kissing skills had improved greatly now.
The moment his lips pressed on, his breath invaded decisively.
Without his usual slow and deliberate pace, he was very impatient.
Xie Wanning hadn’t reacted yet when her lips were blocked. Her hands instinctively pushed to shove him away. She opened her mouth to say something, but it was all swallowed by his kiss, leaving only whimpering sounds echoing in the room.
In just a few moments, she was kissed dizzy. It wasn’t until her back pressed against the bed that she realized she had somehow been carried onto the couch by him.
The sash of her nightgown was undone. Pei Yuqing’s hand paused slightly, then quickly slipped inside along the lapel, landing on the girl’s tender waist, slowly caressing for a moment as his breathing grew heavier.
Xie Wanning was kissed breathless and tried hard to turn her head to avoid his lips, but to no avail. Her pushing hands used more force, but were then gripped at the wrists by the man on top of her.
Pei Yuqing pressed against her lips, his voice gentle and coaxing.
“Be good, Wanwan. I’ll make it up to you with a wedding night now.”
As he spoke, the large hand at her waist slowly moved upward. Xie Wanning’s muddled brain finally woke up, and she desperately pressed down on his wrist bone. “Don’t!”
The amorous atmosphere dissipated instantly with her low shout.
The man on top of her froze. Xie Wanning hurriedly tried to pull her lapel closed, but they were pressed too tightly together, leaving her no way to do so.
She had only tentatively moved a little when her waist tightened. The man’s large hand suddenly pinched, sending an uncontrollable shiver through her.
“…Don’t.” She didn’t know if her face was red from the kisses or from shyness, but it was thoroughly red, and even her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s hum.
“Not aggrieved?” Pei Yuqing’s voice was already hoarse beyond recognition. His fingertip caressed the girl’s soft waist over and over, his eyes full of undissipated desire. “Why not willing?”
His lowered eyes fell on her face, quietly looking into her eyes. The moment their gazes met, he repeated in a low voice, “I’m not impotent. You don’t need to feel aggrieved. What you should have, I’ll give you all without missing any. Why not willing?”
The usually gentle man now had an extremely rare aggressiveness in his words.
