GTB Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Sleepless Without a Quilt

Shí Yan listened to Jiang Jiuchu’s words, both shocked and surprised. He was shocked that this woman dared to say anything after drinking a little wine.

He was surprised that her reason for rejecting him wasn’t because she had someone in her heart? But after her whole speech, he didn’t hear a single factor related to that person.

Shí Yan let her hand cover his lips, his phoenix eyes scrutinizing Jiang Jiuchu.

Could it be that even when she’s drunk, she’s so vigilant, knowing how to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial, hiding the truth?

But looking at her, it didn’t seem like she was lying. Perhaps this reason was one of her reasons, and it was enough to refuse him, so there was no need to mention that person!

Thinking of this, he was a little confused. He could understand that this woman thought far ahead, after all, marriage was indeed a lifetime matter for a woman. But why would she think so miserably?

As far as he knew, she had been spoiled and pampered growing up in a honeypot. She shouldn’t think so badly.

Could it be… that he looked like someone who would abandon her after taking advantage of her?

Also, she was probably the only person in the world who would describe the position of Empress as an unprofitable, arduous task!

A bright light flashed in his eyes. So, this woman wanted a one-on-one relationship, devoted for life.

Shí Yan stared fixedly at Jiang Jiuchu in front of him. Although she had great ambition, she sought very little. She didn’t seek fame or fortune, only a pair of people. Even the position of Empress seemed to hold no allure in her eyes.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if seriously considering whether, if he were to sit in that position, he could defy all opposition and leave the harem empty.

After a long while, he felt that maybe he could try. He, Shí Yan, had always liked challenges.

After all, if he couldn’t even control the harem after sitting in that position, then how was he different from his imperial father?

If that was the case, he thought he might as well not sit there and instead be a carefree prince.

He reached out and gently covered the back of Jiang Jiuchu’s hand that was covering his mouth. Under her angry and guarded gaze, he slowly grasped it and gently removed it, saying in a warm voice:

“This reason is barely acceptable, but….”

“But what…?” Jiang Jiuchu heard this and instantly became scared again, wanting to reach out and continue to block the man’s mouth. But her hand was already tightly grasped by the man.

“But… your judgment of this prince seems a bit hasty. This prince never said he wanted three wives and four concubines.”

“But you said it’s normal for men to have three wives and four concubines.” Jiang Jiuchu remembered what Shí Yan had said very clearly and immediately blurted it out.

Shí Yan paused, “It is normal, but this prince didn’t say that I wanted three wives and four concubines.”

Jiang Jiuchu was stunned when she heard this, trying hard to recall the situation at the time, but she couldn’t calm down enough to think clearly. She could only say anxiously, “You’re quibbling.”

Shí Yan smiled unhurriedly, and said lightly, “I’m not.”

He ignored the woman’s slightly puffed-up cheeks and leisurely asked, “Also, what do you mean by saying that if this prince sits in that position, it would be sheer luck?”

As he spoke, his eyes looked dangerously at Jiang Jiuchu beneath him, “Come, explain this sentence to this prince.”

Jiang Jiuchu was dumbfounded. Sheer luck? Such a vulgar word, did she… say that?

She swallowed, feeling a little unsure, “That… I, I was just saying it casually, you, don’t mind.”

“Let me go! I’m sleepy, I want to sleep.” Jiang Jiuchu felt her eyelids getting heavy and wanted to break free and close her eyes to sleep.

However, the next moment, a warm, soft sensation came from her lips.

She was stunned, her pupils instantly widening as she looked at the man in front of her, so close that she could only see the man’s bright, deep eyes.

“Mmm…”

Jiang Jiuchu reacted and immediately pursed her lips, wanting to turn her head away, but a large hand reached to the back of her head, preventing her from moving.

She became anxious and immediately wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her whole body froze as if struck by lightning.

Her eyes widened, momentarily shocked and unable to react, looking at Shí Yan in disbelief. He, he… actually… actually….

After Shí Yan conquered the territory, he clearly felt the woman’s sudden stillness, as well as the shocked and dazed expression in her eyes.

A smile covered his deep, lustful eyes. Hadn’t they kissed yet, even though they were eloping?

Very good, for this alone, if he encountered that Song Fuge in the future, he could be generous for once.

His eyes gradually closed, and he began to slowly display what he had seen and heard, gently exploring this sweetness.

Jiang Jiuchu’s already flushed face was now as red as the fiery clouds at the edge of the sky, a warm red.

She seemed unable to feel any external existence. Her nose was filled with the man’s scent, and her ears were filled only with the sound of her own frantic heartbeat, as well as the softness on her lips, and in her mouth….

She was horrified and quickly used her tongue to push, wanting to push out the foreign invader.

But what she didn’t know was that her rejection made Shí Yan’s eyes even darker, and his movements became even more uncontrollably reckless.

Jiang Jiuchu was extremely ashamed, and then seemed to think of something. After hesitating for a moment, she steeled her heart. As her delicate eyebrows furrowed, she opened her mouth and bit down.

Shí Yan was lost in the kiss and was finally half a beat slow to react. When he pulled back, the tip of his tongue had been bitten.

The deep eyes that had not yet retreated from lust, as well as the slightly furrowed brow in pain, were seen by Jiang Jiuchu as a sign of impending violence.

She was so frightened that she immediately rolled over and arched herself to the innermost side of the bed. Under the man’s gaze, she stretched out her small hand and quickly pulled over the thin quilt, wrapping her entire body in it, leaving only a pair of flushed, bright eyes, looking at Shí Yan warily.

“You, you, you, you’re not allowed to get angry, it’s… it’s you who… who took liberties with me first.”

Shí Yan looked at Jiang Jiuchu, who was shrinking into the quilt, and the heat that had almost broken through his body slowly subsided, turning into a pool of spring water.

At this moment, he clearly knew that this woman was his destiny. He couldn’t escape, and she couldn’t escape either.

“This is your punishment. Don’t attribute unfounded thoughts to me next time.”

Shí Yan saw her frightened look, his eyes turned, and he added a threatening sentence, “It’s fine to bite me this time, but if there’s a next time, I can’t guarantee what the consequences will be.”

Jiang Jiuchu’s face was startled, but she still mustered the courage to say, “As long as you don’t do that, I won’t bite you.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t dare to look at Shí Yan’s reaction and quickly turned around, tightly grasping the bedding that wrapped her body, not knowing whether she was worried that Shí Yan would take liberties with her again, or worried that the bedding would be snatched away.

But after a moment, drowsiness swept over her.

The sound of even breathing entered Shí Yan’s ears. He raised his hand and waved, and the room instantly plunged into darkness.

In the dark night, Shí Yan’s eyes were bright, thinking, let her have it all to herself!

Anyway, snuggling in a quilt would make him feel hot and unbearable. It was better to retreat in order to advance and change his strategy.

He could see that although this woman also liked a little toughness, she was only outwardly obedient and sensible. Usually, she only submitted outwardly and not in her heart.

If she hadn’t drunk a little wine and revealed all her inner thoughts, he wouldn’t have known that she was so temperamental and had so many thoughts.

He just didn’t know how much she would remember when she woke up tomorrow.

In the dark night, a soft laugh escaped, and then his handsome eyes lightly closed, sleeping without a quilt.
