Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Su Wuli opened and closed her lips, unable to speak.

It was indeed she who went to ask Chuhe herself, and then she drank one cup after another.

She knew she was in the wrong but remained stubborn, saying, "Well, you didn't stop me."

After saying that, he felt guilty and his voice grew softer and softer.

"Anyway, it's all your fault." She started acting unreasonably.

Yu Chen pressed himself against her without saying a word, the heat seeping through her clothes.

A large hand slid down her side and pressed down on her knee.

Her body stiffened for a moment.

Yu Chen withdrew his hand without making any further move, but he also did not back away.

Su Wuli's breathing quickened a bit, and suddenly she heard the man behind her chuckle softly.

Her chest trembled slightly, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Who's to blame?" he asked.

She bit her lip, unable to speak.

Yu Chen pulled the blanket away.

Without any cover, she curled up like a beetle turned over.

He spread her out, and she struggled but couldn't break free.

She turned her head to look at him.

His face was very close; the handprint was still there. "You brought this on yourself."

Su Wuli glared at him. "Who provoked this?"

He leaned forward, but her words caught in her throat.

Blushing, she buried her face in the pillow and mumbled two words, her voice muffled and unclear.

"What did you say?"

Su Wuli repeated it, but it was still unclear.

Yu Chen simply pulled her out of the pillow.

Her face turned bright red, and she looked at him with teary eyes.

"I said you're a scoundrel," she said, emphasizing each word.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers.

Su Wuli held her breath and waited for a while until he didn't move, then reached out and pushed him back.

He pulled her closer to him, and the two of them pressed very close together under the covers.

"It still hurts." His lips brushed against her earlobe. "Help me cool down."

Before she could say anything, Yu Chen pulled the blanket up to cover the two of them.

The blanket was pulled over their heads, and the light dimmed, leaving only the sound of their intertwined breaths.

Su Wuli couldn't see anything, she could only sense his presence.

Immediately afterwards, the man flipped her over and pinned her down.

A large hand covered her cheek, and she turned her head away, trying to avoid his fingers.

His lips came close, but Su Wuli dodged away.

Last time, in the morning, Chuhe and the others scared her.

The man's lips chased after her, darting away several times before being caught.

Su Wuli tilted her head again, and his lips landed on her earlobe.

"Ah Wu, stop moving, my face hurts."

His voice was muffled under the covers, a little hoarse.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was stunned.

Then I didn't dare to move.

Then, hot lips pressed down.

He aggressively entwined himself with her, sucking and kissing her deeply.

It was an entanglement that couldn't be refused.

He grabbed the back of her neck with his large hand and lifted her up, pressing her whole body against his chest, their hearts pounding together.

Su Wuli was breathless from his kisses, her fingers gripping the back of his shirt.

"Um... slow down..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his lips moved away slightly, allowing her to catch her breath.

Then, just a second later, he kissed her again, deeper and harder.

Every time I clung to her, it felt like I was plundering her.

His hand slid down from his back and hung limply at his side, resting on the mattress.

He took her hand and pressed it against the pillow.

Su Wuli turned her head away, trying to avoid him, but his lips pressed tightly against hers, preventing her from escaping.

The air inside the blanket grew increasingly hot, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

His too.

Yu Chen moved away from her lips and kissed her chin gently, occasionally biting her lightly, bringing a tingling sensation.

"Hmm..." Su Wuli hummed softly.

She lifted her fingers off the mattress and tugged at his hair.

The man's breathing became heavier, and he bit her chin again before kissing her collarbone.

The blanket was pushed up by his back, and light squeezed in through the gaps.

Su Wuli's eyes narrowed slightly as she was startled by the light, and she saw his shoulders and back, as well as the morning light filtering through the blanket.

He kissed her again, blocking her view.

Yu Chen held her hand and pressed it onto the pillow, prying open her curled fingers one by one and weaving his fingers between hers.

Su Wuli heard birds chirping outside the blanket, one chirp after another, muffled through the cotton cloth.

His hand slid down her collarbone, his fingertips pressing against her ribs through the thin fabric of her undergarment.

Slowly rub downwards.

She weakly grasped his hand, and he stopped, his lips still pressed against her neck.

"What...are you going to do?" Her voice trembled slightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the man looked up at her.

The light inside the blanket was dim, so Su Wuli couldn't see his expression.

All I could see was that his eyes were very bright.

"What do you think?" His voice was close to her ear, and the warmth from the blankets carrying those two words made her feel weak all over.

Su Wuli bit her lip and buried her face in his chest, "No... Chu He and the others—"

The man swallowed his words before she could finish speaking.

His burning lips captured hers, kissing her possessively and stealing the air from her mouth.

I was already feeling down, and now it's even worse.

His large hands gently massaged her waist, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily.

She didn't know how long it lasted, but her whole body went limp.

Her consciousness began to fade, and she subconsciously raised her hand as if to do something.

Her fingernail inadvertently brushed against the man's face, and she suddenly stopped.

Yu Chen also released her lips.

Afraid of hurting him again, Su Wuli asked anxiously, her breath unsteady, "Does it hurt?"

She tried to lift the blanket to see his face, but the man stopped her.

He kissed her again.

"You...you mustn't...let me see..."

Su Wuli pushed his shoulder, but he remained unmoved, like a mountain.

He suddenly raised his hand to support himself beside her ear, and the blanket slid off them both.

The light rushed in, making her squint.

Before she could adjust to the light, the man's lips pressed down again.

The blanket was piled up to his waist, and the morning light fell on his shoulders and back, illuminating the handprint clearly.

No new traces were observed.

Just as Su Wuli was feeling relieved, she suddenly asked, "Was it difficult to insert the candles last night?"

She was taken aback when the words came out abruptly.

Thinking back to last night when Chuhe and the others were making lanterns in the yard, we really struggled to get the candles right, even after a long time.

He eventually saw it, took it, and easily packed it away.

Su Wuli didn't know why he suddenly asked this question.

"Hmm? Is it difficult?" His voice was hoarse, and his breath brushed against her ear.

Su Wuli turned her head away, but Yu Chen turned her face back to her.

Look into her eyes.

She could only answer, "It's difficult."

He replied, "It's not difficult."

Su Wuli bit her lip...

Yu Chen looked into her eyes and lowered his head to touch her earlobe.

"It's not difficult, would you like me to teach you?"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, and just as Su Wuli raised her suddenly moist eyes, she saw Yu Chen take a river lantern from the table beside the bed.

How could that be?

She didn't know when it was brought in.

The river lantern and candle were stuffed into her hands.

"I'll teach you." Yu Chen's eyes held a deep meaning.
