Red candles are lit high, and brocade quilts are spread out.

Gu Jinyan leaned against the bedpost, his deep eyes gazing at the woman sitting in front of the dressing table for a long time, unwilling to look away for even a moment.

His handsome face was practically creased with laughter.

Heavens above, earth below, he has finally won the hand of the woman he loves!

It's just... she doesn't seem to know much about relationships between men and women, so it's a bit difficult to make a move!

Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her delicate face appear even more fair and radiant.

"Madam... are you done yet?"

Gu Jinyan, unable to contain his curiosity, couldn't help but call out, "Are you done yet?"

Yin Liuli glanced back at him and said, "Behave yourself."

"Am I... not honest enough?"

Gu Jinyan rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Madam, you don't really intend for me to stand here all night, do you?"

There was nothing he could do; he was pinned to the pillar, his entire body stiff.

The only parts that could move were its mouth and its eyes.

It's a bit frustrating to think about. All he did was hug her, give her a quick kiss, help her loosen her clothes and belt, and then carry her to bed...

"Who told you to touch me like that? You weren't behaving yourself!"

Yin Liuli scoffed, "My senior brother said your chest injury is a bit troublesome. Today, because of the Empress's matter, you aggravated your blood and qi..."

He came up to her and grabbed her, getting handsy. She couldn't resist and put a spell on him to freeze him in place!

"I'm innocent, madam! I really didn't do anything dishonest!"

Gu Jinyan almost laughed until he cried. "Tonight is our wedding night. If I don't touch you, am I even a man?"

Besides, our marriage was arranged by the Emperor! I'm consummating our marriage by imperial decree...

An indescribable scene flashed through Yin Liuli's mind, and her cheeks instantly burned.

"Pah! Who wants to...have a wedding night with you! You, you're still...you're still injured. Senior Brother said you're not allowed to move around."

"This little injury is nothing."

Gu Jinyan raised an eyebrow dismissively, "Who am I, your husband? I've been to the gates of hell, how could I let this little injury hinder our wedding night?"

Please, my lady, release me! A night of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Let's make it work for each other..."

Yin Liuli glared at him, her earlobes burning.

"Say that again, and I'll shut you up!"

Before she got married, her mother and Granny Quanfu had subtly taught her what to do on her wedding night.

But the thought of undressing in front of Gu Jinyan, and then... and him...

She had lost her usual quick and efficient demeanor; she was just too embarrassed to know what to do.

"Hmm! Fine, I won't say anything more, okay?"

The more Gu Jinyan looked at her shy expression, the more he felt an urge to pin her down on the bed, a feeling that burned like fire in his abdomen.

Yin Liuli sat blankly in front of the dressing table, nervously unsure of what to do.

Gu Jinyan's eyes darted around, then suddenly he cried out, "Ouch, ouch!"

"Madam, I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my chest... Could you please check if my wound is bleeding?"

"Wasn't it bandaged up? Why is it bleeding?"

Yin Liuli's heart pounded. Although she said she didn't believe it, she still got up and went to check.

"Smack"

As she approached, Gu Jinyan pouted and kissed her on the cheek, then grinned mischievously, "Haha! I finally got to kiss you!"

Yin Liuli angrily punched him on the shoulder, "Fine, you lied to me!"

"Um……"

Gu Jinyan groaned, his whole body trembling with pain.

A trickle of blood oozed from the tightly bandaged wound.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!"

Yin Liuli panicked instantly and quickly pressed on his wound, saying, "Did I hurt you? I... I'll go find my senior brother to give you acupuncture..."

Gu Jinyan said with a bitter face, "It seems the wound has reopened. There's no need to find Senior Brother. Just reapply the medicine and bandage it."

"Oh oh oh oh..."

Yin Liuli quickly turned around to find the medicine.

"Madam...Madam!"

Gu Jinyan craned his neck, staring at the flustered figure, and yelled, "Let me go first, okay? I'm injured, you can't just leave me like this, it hurts so much..."

"Ah! Sorry, sorry, I forgot!"

Yin Liuli raised her hand and patted her head, saying with a guilty look, "I'll untie it for you right away."

As she spoke, she flipped her fingers, and a flash of inspiration appeared at her fingertips.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Jinyan's body suddenly relaxed, a mischievous smile flashing across his handsome face. He slumped against the pillar, "Ouch..."

"Gu Jinyan!"

Yin Liuli exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to catch him.

Suddenly, an arm wrapped around my waist!

Gu Jinyan pulled her into his arms and pressed his warm lips against hers without warning.

"Ugh... Gu Jinyan, you're cheating!"

Yin Liuli's eyes widened instantly, her voice swallowed by his lips.

That sweet, domineering yet tender kiss left her mind blank and her body completely limp.

Before she knew it, she was nestled in Gu Jinyan's arms. He carried her to the bedside, took a deep breath, and said...

"My lady, it's time for our wedding night..."

"Let me go!"

Yin Liuli buried her face in his chest and said in a muffled voice, "Who wants... to consummate the marriage with you..."

"I won't let go! I finally managed to marry this woman, and I won't let her go, not even if the Emperor himself comes!"

Gu Jinyan gave a haughty snort, bent down and placed her on the bed, then lowered his head and covered her lips with his.

Unlike the previous kisses, this one was very light and gentle, as if it were a rare treasure.

Yin Liuli closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

She could feel his warmth, his breath, and the faint scent of medicine on him. All of this mixed together made her dizzy, yet a strange sense of peace arose in her heart.

After a long while, he finally pulled away from her lips, his forehead pressed against hers, his breath slightly unsteady.

"Liuli," he said in a hoarse voice, "I want you."

Yin Liuli's face flushed again. "What?! You...you're kidding me!"

Gu Jinyan suddenly grasped her hand and placed it on his chest, his voice filled with indescribable tenderness.

"Feel how fast my heart is beating. If you don't agree, I'll be truly hurt, hurt in my heart, much more painful than this chest."

"You...you're cheating."

Yin Liuli was both angry and amused by him.

"Fine, I'll cheat then."

Gu Jinyan retorted confidently, "When have I, Gu Jinyan, ever been reasonable?"

As he spoke, he gently kissed her cheeks, from her eyebrows to the corners of her eyes, from the tip of her nose to her earlobes, leaving no spot untouched.

Yin Liuli felt weak all over from his kisses. She wanted to push him away but didn't dare to use force, so she could only let him do as he pleased.

He braced himself with his arms, trying his best not to let his weight press down on her, yet he still enveloped her completely beneath him, leaving her with no way to avoid him or escape.

Hold me.

He commanded.

"Gu Jinyan..."

Yin Liuli, at a loss, raised her arms and tried to wrap them around his neck.

"Call me husband!"

Gu Jinyan snorted without any politeness, "Call me 'husband' and I'll give you my life!"

Yin Liuli couldn't help but stop lipping, her voice shy and barely audible.

"My husband..."

The red candle flickered with a crackling sound as the candle flame flickered, and the curtains slowly fell, concealing the enchanting atmosphere of the room.

Amidst the swirling red waves and the warmth of the bridal chamber, all of Yin Liuli's senses were captivated by Gu Jinyan. She felt as if she were a small boat rising and falling with the waves on a vast ocean.

That night felt both long and fast...
