He never seen her with so much anticipation before. With his hands on her shoulders, he pulled her away. Amidst her eagerness, Shi Nuan was confused by his reaction.
She bit her lips sadly, feeling his temperature and tasting the blood from his cracked lips. She didn’t know why Fu Chengyan would reject her advances.
Before Shi Nuan could react, Fu Chengyan tilted her chin and stared into her eyes. “Are you sure?”
“Yes!” Shi Nuan wanted to refuse him, but she eventually nodded. She took a deep breath and held his hand with great determination, “We’re married now, right?”
“Yes.” He panted slightly with a solemn look while leaning onto her forehead, “We’re husband and wife. May, do you know what is coming for you after your decision? You can’t back down when you agree to do it. I won’t allow you to do so!”
Shi Nuan nodded timidly, “I understand!”
At her reply, he smiled. He placed her hands behind her back and took over her alluring lips.
The sweet taste was somehow different from before. His gentle kiss guided her slowly from her clumsiness.
Heavy panting could be heard from the study. Shi Nuan hugged Fu Chengyan shyly and felt something different in her body. Suddenly, he carried her and placed her on the study table.
Shi Nuan yelped and caught hold of Fu Chengyan’s strong arms. He removed her outer clothes which revealed her slightly flushed skin. He was enticed by her attractiveness and stooped down to kiss her again.
Shi Nuan’s body stiffened in nervousness. Fu Chengyan’s warm and heavy breath rang by her ear. The physiological change of her body was totally different from how she felt when she was drugged.
Fu Chengyan released Shi Nuan’s hands and lips as he felt her tensed body. “Are you scared?”
Shi Nuan’s pitiful look made him helpless. He would always fail to control himself in front of her.
He sighed while tucking her hair behind her ears, “You can stop me if you’re not ready.” He would make an exception for her.
Shi Nuan shook her head anxiously while grabbing his hand tightly as if she was determined, “No, I’m not scared. I’m ready.” Then, she held herself up with his shoulders and kissed his lips, his chin, and his Adam’s apple.
Fu Chengyan drew a quick breath and waited for her next move in anticipation. Shi Nuan bit her lips at a loss of her next step. She lifted her head and stared at Fu Chengyan.
Then, she hung herself upon his body entirely and planted kisses on his lips, nose, and eyes.
Her feathery kiss felt like she was kissing a precious artifact. She might not love Fu Chengyan yet, but she liked him. She was willing to give herself to him entirely in hope that he would accept her as well.
Fu Chengyan almost reached his limits of his endurance as he was afraid of her rejection. But he couldn’t help but reclaim the initiative from her desperate efforts to please him.
Shi Nuan was delighted and began to reciprocate his advances.
He reached his hands to her back and removed her last coverage. She couldn’t refuse him now.
Shi Nuan trembled as Fu Chengyan traced her body carefully. She grabbed his back with a concerned look.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here with you.” He tried to be careful so that she could accept him. He gently took off her pants when she was used to his touch. “May,” he whispered.
“Huh?” Shi Nuan lifted her head. Fu Chengyan took the chance to seize her lips.
She squealed in shock but was absorbed by his kiss.
She couldn’t help but stare at Fu Chengyan with blurry eyes, which struck his heart. He began to caress her with his lips.
The passionate act didn’t last long, as he stopped himself in consideration of it being Shi Nuan’s first time. She was carried to the bedroom before she could return to her senses.
Her innocent look at Fu Chengyan when he pulled her away left him a little excited as he tried to suppress his desire. “I’m taking you to bathe.”
Shi Nuan nodded as she was tired too. But she asked timidly, “So soon?”
Fu Chengyan squinted his eyes at her challenging question, though it might sound nothing to her. He tilted his eyebrow with a smirk, “Are you not satisfied, darling?”
Shi Nuan fell quiet.
Fu Chengyan was pleased at her awkwardness and gave her a kiss, “That was your first time. I won’t let you off so easily after this.”
Shi Nuan’s face burned red in embarrassment.
She regretted it the moment she asked the question, as no woman would ask such a question to a man. However, Fu Chengyan’s answer warmed her heart. She hugged him and nuzzled his chest, “I’m going in for a bath.”
“Okay!” Fu Chengyan nodded at the kitten-like Shi Nuan with content.
As Fu Chengyan bathed Shi Nuan, she almost fell asleep in the bathtub from being so tired. He carried her up from the bathtub and got stimulated by the marks on her body.
He took a deep breath and restrained himself. After placing Shi Nuan in bed, he rushed to the bathroom for a quick cold shower and returned to a sound asleep woman on the bed.
He shook his head helplessly and got into bed when he felt warmer.
Shi Nuan somehow detected his presence and turned around to cuddle him.
Fu Chengyan stiffened at her action and gazed at her warmly under the dim light as she pursed her lips and slept soundly.
Shi Nuan had a good sleep with some aching pain in her body. It was not as exaggerated as described in books, but it was really painful.
Shi Nuan touched the other side of the bed which had lost its warmth. Her lips curved into a smile at the light markings on her body.
“You’re awake?”
Shi Nuan lowered her head awkwardly at Fu Chengyan’s smooth voice, “Yeah… You’re early. About yesterday…”
“What’s with yesterday?” Fu Chengyan knew that she was shy about her eagerness last night. He walked towards the bed and sat by a loosely dressed Shi Nuan in a nightgown.
His eyes dimmed at the alluring sight. Shi Nuan noticed his look and covered herself up hurriedly in embarrassment, “Don’t you look at me!”
Fu Chengyan smiled at Shi Nuan’s childish temper and rubbed her head before cuddling her, “Are you shy, my lady? You’re not like this last night.”
“Don’t say it!” Shi Nuan covered Fu Chengyan’s mouth and said shyly, “You should forget about last night.”
“Why should I?” His warm lips caressed her palm which itched her heart with his warm breath.
Fu Chengyan held her hand and laughed, “How can I forget our nuptial night? I have to remember it forever, May.”
“I…” Shi Nuan didn’t know what to say, “I forbid you to remember it! I…”
“There there, I’ll stop here.” He kissed Shi Nuan lightly, “You must be hungry. Wash up for breakfast.”
“Okay.” Shi Nuan got up from bed and stared at Fu Chengyan.
Fu Chengyan laughed, “I’m going downstairs.”
Shi Nuan calmed her heart as Fu Chengyan left. She was shy as it was her first time, but she never thought that she would be so unreasonable.
Her face flushed red as she remembered how eager she was last night. She patted her cheeks hurriedly to ease herself out and went to her closet for a change of clothes when she felt calmer.
She was officially Fu Chengyan’s wife, so they had to progress to the next stage in their relationship sooner or later. Staring at the empty side of the closet beside her clothes, she made a secret decision.
Fu Chengyan was preparing breakfast as she came down fully dressed. He smiled as he saw her outfit, “Come and eat!”
