    Chapter 177: Don’t Regret It

    At this moment, Shí Yan seemed to understand that Jiang Jiuchu’s sudden enthusiasm was intentional.

    However, such intentionality was something he had never expected and dared not imagine.

    At this moment, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart, instantly shattering the last remaining trace of uncertainty deep within.

    His eyes deepened slightly, and he stepped into the room.

    His mind was already imagining the scene of Jiang Jiuchu waiting for him, but after looking around, he couldn’t find her.

    He glanced at the bathroom’s hidden door, his lips curved slightly, and then he went to the cabinet, took a set of red undergarments, and went to the bathroom.

    However, Shí Yan still didn’t see Jiang Jiuchu’s figure when he entered the bathroom.

    A trace of doubt arose in his eyes, along with a little disappointment.

    As expected, he had overestimated her. How could someone with such a thin skin share a mandarin duck bath with him?

    He shook his head with a chuckle, then quickly reached out to unbutton his outer robe and entered the pool.

    Outside the house, Jiang Jiuchu quietly pushed open the door, then took off her outer robe, revealing a slender silk brocade dress embroidered with dark red patterns.

    She stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself, then walked to the hidden door of the bathroom, gently pushed open a crack in the door, and looked inside.

    Seeing the figure rising from the bath behind the thin gauze, she quickly closed the door and immediately went to sit by the bed.

    She swallowed nervously, and after thinking about it, she felt that sitting on the bed was too direct, so she quickly got up and sat at the round table.

    Right, she still had to drink the nuptial wine. They hadn’t drunk their nuptial wine yet. Shí Yan had prepared this last time, so that must have been what he meant.

    Thinking of this, she picked up the wine pot and filled one cup to the brim for herself, and another cup to seven-tenths full for Shí Yan.

    However, as soon as she finished pouring the wine and put down the cup, she saw Shí Yan walking out. She immediately stood up in a panic, opened her mouth, but was too nervous to know how to speak.

    Shí Yan looked at Jiang Jiuchu, who was also dressed in red, his lips curved, and then he walked to Jiang Jiuchu’s side, a suggestive voice sounded, “This Prince thinks it’s more appropriate for you to sit on the bed and wait for me.”

    Jiang Jiuchu was stunned when she heard this, she didn’t expect Shí Yan to be so straightforward, “I… I was thirsty, can’t I come over for a drink?”

    She glanced at Shí Yan and reached out to pour herself a cup of tea, thinking to herself, this Shí Yan seems to be getting a bit presumptuous!

    No, she couldn’t keep indulging him like this. If even the consummation of their marriage was controlled by him, what status would she have in front of him?

    Shí Yan saw that Jiang Jiuchu wasn’t thirsty, so he directly reached out and moved the teapot away, leaving her empty-handed, then picked up the wine in front of him and handed it to Jiang Jiuchu, “Don’t drink tea, let’s drink wine.”

    As he said this, he paused, looked suggestively at Jiang Jiuchu, and added, “…Nuptial wine.”

    Jiang Jiuchu swallowed, “Okay.”

    She didn’t reach out to take the wine from Shí Yan’s hand, but instead intended to pick up the full cup of wine in front of her.

    Shí Yan, with quick eyes and hands, took the cup in front of her into his own hands, “My lady’s alcohol tolerance is not good, you should drink this cup!”

    “Oh.” Jiang Jiuchu numbly reached out and took it, thinking to herself, it was because her alcohol tolerance was not good that she wanted to drink more to embolden herself!

    If she had known, she should have filled both cups, or drunk a cup beforehand.

    Seeing Shí Yan approaching her one step at a time, she awkwardly reached out and intertwined her wrist with his, drinking the wine in the cup in one gulp.

    After Jiang Jiuchu finished drinking, she quickly glanced at Shí Yan, and when she saw that his gaze was fixed on her, she quickly lowered her eyes and put down the cup in her hand.

    Shí Yan looked at Jiang Jiuchu, unhurriedly put down his wine glass, and said in a low, gentle voice, “Is ChuChu shy?”

    “No… no.” Although Jiang Jiuchu said this, her eyes still didn’t dare to look at Shí Yan.

    Just as she was standing there at a loss, Shí Yan suddenly picked her up in his arms.

    While carrying Jiang Jiuchu towards the bed, Shí Yan lowered his head and approached her ear, saying, “Jiang Jiuchu, you’re the one who wants to consummate our marriage tonight, right?”

    Jiang Jiuchu was lowering her eyes in shyness, and when she heard this, she looked at Shí Yan with a pair of puzzled eyes, then nodded slightly under his intense gaze.

    “Okay, then don’t regret it for the rest of your life.”

    After Shí Yan finished speaking, he saw Jiang Jiuchu nod, and his chest couldn’t help but heave, “Call me husband and let me hear it.”

    Jiang Jiuchu looked at Shí Yan’s deep eyes, pursed her lips, and then shyly opened her mouth, “Husband.”

    Although her voice was soft, it still clearly entered Shí Yan’s ears.

    Shí Yan no longer had the resolve to make her call again, and immediately lowered his head and kissed her.

    Lips and teeth intertwined, breathing became rapid.

    After a long time, Jiang Jiuchu felt a chill on her body, and quickly reached out to gently push his chest, turned her head to avoid Shí Yan’s kiss, and said in a shy, delicate voice, “Your… Your Highness.”

    Shí Yan’s scarlet eyes darkened slightly, and he stared intently at Jiang Jiuchu, “Call me husband, and it’s too late to regret it.”

    “No… no regrets, Your Highness… no, Husband, can Husband put out the candlelight?”

    Jiang Jiuchu grabbed the clothes that Shí Yan had pulled down from her shoulders with one hand, shyly wanting to pull them up, but was afraid that Shí Yan would misunderstand, so she just clenched them, wanting to pull them up but not daring to.

    Shí Yan raised his hand and directly dropped the red curtains, blocking a trace of insignificant candlelight, “Is this okay?”

    Jiang Jiuchu was just about to shake her head, but Shí Yan cut her off, “You can’t say no.”

    After Shí Yan finished speaking, he once again blocked Jiang Jiuchu’s pink lips, and while kissing the person beneath him, he reached out to pull open the belt of Jiang Jiuchu’s undergarments.

    With her undergarments open, his large hand directly stroked her slender waist, the feeling under his hand was more delicate and smooth than any silk brocade he had ever touched.

    He suppressed the urge to use force, and his large palm caressed her waist back and forth.

    Until he had temporarily traced enough, his palm continued to move up along her waist, finally extending to her back and gently tugging, then heading towards the back of her neck again.

    Jiang Jiuchu’s breathing was rapid, she didn’t feel Shí Yan’s subtle movements, she only felt that his palm was scorching hot, making her whole body hot.

    It seemed there was a trace… like the feeling of being drugged last time.

    Instantly, she felt a chill on her chest, and her whole body was shocked, she quickly wanted to lower her head to look, and the hand that was hooking Shí Yan’s neck was about to be withdrawn at the same time.

    However, Shí Yan didn’t give her a chance to be distracted, he directly pressed his body down, and the kiss became even more forceful.

    But at the moment when their skin touched, both of them were shocked at the same time, and the kiss also paused.

    Jiang Jiuchu opened her eyes in shock, her face as red as if it was about to drip blood, she didn’t know when Shí Yan had also taken off his clothes.

    The two looked at each other, but their lips did not separate.

    Jiang Jiuchu immediately closed her eyes in shame, but the body that was even hotter than her, could not be ignored.

    Not only was it scalding hot, making her extremely uncomfortable, but it also pressed against her uncomfortably, especially her thighs.

    She uncomfortably wanted to move her legs, but as soon as she moved, Shí Yan said against her lips, his voice extremely hoarse, “Don’t move.”
