GTB Chapter 126

Chapter 128: Closing In, Little by Little

No sooner had Jiang Jiuchu spoken than she was placed onto the bed. Looking at Shí Yan, who intended to lean over her, her small face seemed about to cry, and she suddenly felt a terrible sense of unfamiliarity with the man before her.

Indeed, she had been too careless with him, assuming he would always respect her, thinking he didn’t have much desire for beauty or for her in that regard.

Shí Yan saw that Jiang Jiuchu was genuinely frightened, and his heart felt somewhat uneasy. Was she so unwilling to consummate their marriage?

He suppressed his emotions and looked at Jiang Jiuchu, asking, “Are you saying tonight would be okay?”

Seeing him ask, Jiang Jiuchu immediately sensed a glimmer of opportunity and said pitifully and fearfully, “If… if it’s possible, could it be a few more days, to give me some time to prepare myself?”

Looking at the weak and helpless woman beneath him, Shí Yan immediately felt a pang of pity. He wouldn’t force her; otherwise, he would have been unable to resist taking her long ago.

After all, what’s the point of such a thing if it’s not consensual?

But not forcing her didn’t mean he wouldn’t assert his position and make her aware of the situation.

Otherwise, he endures all night, but she sleeps soundly every night.

She probably doesn’t know how difficult it is for a man to do what he has done?

Shí Yan pretended to reluctantly agree, “Alright! I’ll listen to you, but…”

“But what?” Jiang Jiuchu’s heart leaped with joy, not expecting to escape this calamity today.

“But you have to give me some benefits to appease this Prince. If this Prince is satisfied, I’ll let you go.”

Jiang Jiuchu was stunned, watching Shí Yan’s thin lips getting closer and closer to her. She swallowed, wanting to dodge but not daring to, and just stared at Shí Yan with her helpless big eyes, unblinking.

As his thin lips touched hers, she looked up at him for a moment and immediately closed her eyes, nervously grabbing the quilt beside her, looking like a lamb ready for slaughter.

Seeing her closed eyelashes tremble slightly, Shí Yan pressed his lips to hers and began to move gently. This was their first kiss without any other distractions.

It was the most pure and direct one, without bitter medicine, without her being drunk, and without any medicinal effects.

He wanted her to perceive him very clearly, to accept him little by little.

Jiang Jiuchu’s pink lips were tightly pursed, her body became increasingly tense, her heart beat faster and faster, and her breathing became almost imperceptible.

She didn’t dare to relax, didn’t dare to open her mouth, but this man was constantly lingering and gently grinding against her lips.

For some reason, she felt that this kiss was fatally gentle, and this gentleness was constantly attacking her heart, constantly hitting her defenses with the rhythm of her heartbeat.

Shí Yan was unhurried, as if he had endless patience, slowly prying open the heart of the person beneath him.

After a while, he slightly pulled away from her lips, looking at Jiang Jiuchu with gentle and lustful eyes. Her originally pink lips were now more delicate and alluring because of him.

Sensing the departure from her lips, Jiang Jiuchu opened her eyes, looked directly at Shí Yan, raised her hand to push against his chest, and said with a flushed face, “After kissing, just…”

However, before she could finish speaking, her lips were blocked by Shí Yan again, this time with a direct attack.

Shí Yan finally caught an opportunity, how could he easily let it go? If he didn’t kiss enough, who knew when the next time would be?

He didn’t believe that this woman would be willing to consummate their marriage in just a few days; there would probably be various reasons at that time.

Jiang Jiuchu seemed to have not expected this person to pull a surprise attack.

She subconsciously wanted to bite him, but reason stopped her. She didn’t dare to bite, otherwise, the consequences would definitely be unbearable for her.

Although Shí Yan’s kiss lacked Jiang Jiuchu’s cooperation, it was still extremely gentle. His Adam’s apple kept rolling, and the desire in his body grew along with this kiss.

He desperately suppressed it, but still couldn’t bear to leave, but that extremely gentle kiss slowly became domineering and out of control.

Jiang Jiuchu felt a strange, numbing sensation in her body, sweeping through her entire body, making her a little out of breath.

She couldn’t bear it any longer, no matter what, and immediately turned her head to push him away.

Shí Yan, who had long been unable to bear it, took advantage of her pushing and retreated.

Looking at the person beneath him, her chest rising and falling, her small face flushed as if it were about to bleed, especially her eyes, covered with a thin layer of mist.

In an instant, a feeling of pleasure filled his heart. He smiled with satisfaction, looked at Jiang Jiuchu, and said with a dark and hoarse voice, “Okay, you barely passed, I’ll let you go today.”

After he finished speaking, he immediately got up and left the house. He had to quickly take a cold shower to cool down, otherwise, he was afraid that he would damage his body if he held it in like this.

Jiang Jiuchu sat up, looked at Shí Yan who went out, lowered her eyes and was stunned for a moment, then pulled at the sweat-soaked clothes at her neckline, and then walked towards the closet, took a set of inner clothes and went to the bathroom.

In the bath, Jiang Jiuchu looked at the surface of the pool and fell into thought. How did she unknowingly reach this step! She just said to wait a few days before consummating the marriage, wouldn’t this person come to force her again in a few days!

Why did Shí Yan suddenly want to consummate their marriage? They had only been together for two months, and they hadn’t had deep interactions during these two months, they didn’t understand each other at all, and he had never said that he liked her!

Did she really have to accept her fate? It wasn’t that she cared about her virginity.

After all, she was already married to him, and had slept on the same bed, and had been kissed and seen by him, so it couldn’t be considered virginity anymore.

But consummating the marriage was ultimately different, it would lead to pregnancy. She would really have no confidence and would be afraid to have children for Shí Yan, such an unpredictable person.

She was afraid that her future life would be far from what she had expected, she was also afraid that after treating him with her heart, he would let her down, and even more afraid that he would become the crown prince and become the emperor…

The injury that day, he didn’t even dare to call a doctor, it must be very important, such a person must have things she didn’t know.

She had originally thought about understanding and observing more, waiting for the position of crown prince to be determined, waiting for her to forget Brother Fu a little more, and also waiting for her to understand him a little more.

But now, could it be that he couldn’t wait any longer?

The next morning, Shí Yan fulfilled his promise and accompanied Jiang Jiuchu back to the Jiang residence.

Madam Ye was very surprised by the arrival of her daughter and son-in-law, and was overjoyed to learn that they would be staying for two days.

Because she knew that it was extremely rare for a prince like Shí Yan to accompany his wife back to her mother’s house, which meant that he cared about her daughter very much, otherwise which prince would be idle enough to live in his wife’s family?

Jiang Jiuchu was extremely happy to return to the Jiang residence, but the only thing she wasn’t happy about was that the bed in her boudoir was very small, and her mother only sent one bed of bedding.

Thinking of Shí Yan’s actions yesterday, she was a little worried.

Shí Yan lay on her beauty couch, leisurely fanning himself, looked at the worry in Jiang Jiuchu’s eyes, and said, “Don’t worry! This Prince wouldn’t be so inconsiderate of the occasion.”

After he finished speaking, the hand holding the folding fan became stronger. Did he look like such a person? So all of his two months of acting like a gentleman was for nothing?

Hearing this, Jiang Jiuchu relaxed, and wanted to stay in the Jiang residence for a few more days. To be honest, looking at her familiar courtyard and familiar room, she didn’t want to go back to the Seventh Prince’s mansion.

She immediately decided that the day after tomorrow, she would say that she wanted to accompany her pregnant sister-in-law and find an excuse not to go back to the mansion with him. In front of her parents, he shouldn’t refuse her.

Two days later, the Royal Garden Horse Farm.

Jiang Jiuchu, Shí Yan, and Jiang Jiuche came to the Royal Garden together. Shí Qingya originally wanted to come in a sedan chair because of her pregnancy, but Madam Ye was not at ease and finally persuaded her to stay.

The three of them, with their exquisite appearances and identical red riding outfits, attracted countless gazes as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the garden.

It was Jiang Jiuchu’s first time entering this Royal Garden. She originally thought it was just an ordinary horse farm, but she didn’t expect that this Royal Garden surrounded an entire mountain. The mountain road was flat, and the race route was around the mountain.
