Nong Nu Jiao

"It's for His Highness."

Cen Lingyi ignored him and reached out to snatch the embroidery frame.

Yan Chenghui raised the embroidery frame and took a step back.

"I think this size is just right for making a sachet for me."

He held the cloth around his waist.

She never embroidered anything for him, how could that bastard be worthy of it?

He wouldn't allow it.

"This is a pattern for children. If Your Highness wishes, I will make a new one another day."

Cen Lingyi got up and snatched the embroidery hoop back.

Make it for him? He's dreaming.

No one but Huai Jiao deserves her dedication.

He wants one; I'll buy him one at the market another day.

"I want this."

Yan Chenghui stared at her intently.

Cen Lingyi tossed the embroidery hoop aside.

"Why did you stop embroidering?"

Yan Chenghui turned his head to look at her.

"I'm tired." Cen Lingyi looked away. "It's getting late, Your Highness. Please go back to Yiqing Courtyard to rest. I need to sleep too."

Is this all he wants?

Then she decided not to do it.

"Go to sleep."

Yan Chenghui loosened his belt.

"What is Your Highness doing?"

Cen Lingyi's dark eyes widened suddenly, and she instinctively stepped back.

"Didn't you say you wanted to rest?"

Yan Chenghui took off his outer garment, tossed it aside, and walked closer.

His tall stature enveloped her completely, creating a sense of oppression.

"I suggest Your Highness return to Yiqing Courtyard to rest."

Cen Lingyi frowned, her heart filled with resistance.

He did those things with other people, and now he's with her?

Even if they didn't do anything, just the thought of being near him or sharing a bed with him made her feel uncomfortable.

He's filthy!

Yan Chenghui's gaze fell on her.

The candlelight fell obliquely on her face from the side, casting soft shadows on her long, curled eyelashes. Her face was beautiful and delicate, her lips red and moist.

The collar of her ivory-white undergarment was slightly loose, revealing her smooth shoulders and neck, and a small patch of fair skin stood out against the interplay of light and shadow.

"Where I shall rest is none of your concern?"

When he spoke again, his throat was dry, and a surge of heat rose up.

"Go wherever Your Highness goes, just don't stay here with me."

Cen Lingyi, in a fit of pique, got up and tried to run away.

She noticed something was off about his gaze; it was like a thick fog, locking her in.

"I'll stay here."

Yan Chenghui grabbed her, pressed her onto the bed, and leaned over her.

He looked down at her flushed face.

Lately, she seems less resistant to being with him.

"His Highness is here."

Cen Lingyi glanced in Yan Huaijiao's direction and reminded him in an annoyed tone.

"So what?"

Yan Chenghui raised an eyebrow.

"Does Your Highness have no shame?"

Cen Lingyi blushed and glared at him.

Yan Chenghui chuckled softly and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

She scolded him like she was flirting.

He liked it very much.

"Just be quiet and don't make a sound, you won't wake him up."

He whispered in her ear.

A low voice whispered in Cen Lingyi's ear, sending shivers down her spine.

Her face was burning hot, and she couldn't help but shrink back and push him away.

He's incredibly shameless!

Even after she told him the child was there, he ignored her and told her to keep quiet.

"Didn't we promise to give ten children to orphans? If we don't do it, where will we get the children?"

Yan Chenghui grasped her two slender wrists, a mischievous smile in his eyes.

"If you can't even protect one, how can you protect ten?"

Cen Lingyi snorted and rolled her eyes at him.

If she has another child with him, she'll be a dog!

Yan Chenghui pressed her hands down on either side of her head.

"hiss--"

You've aggravated my wound...

Cen Lingyi frowned and complained softly.

Actually, no, it only hurts a little. I said that to spoil his mood and get rid of him.

The burn on her arm wasn't too serious because it was burned through her clothes.

"Let me see."

Yan Chenghui took her hand and gently rolled up her sleeves.

Several burns were exposed, all of which had scabbed over and were not broken in the slightest.

Cen Lingyi also looked over.

"Are you trying to extort money from me?"

Yan Chenghui gave a half-smile.

"Who's trying to scam you? It really hurts..."

Cen Lingyi frowned and glared at him.

I'll apply the medicine for you later.

Yan Chenghui took her lips into his mouth and gently sucked and rubbed them.

"I don't want to..."

Cen Lingyi kicked off her embroidered shoes while trying to kick him.

Yan Chenghui didn't care and, taking advantage of her opening her mouth to speak, he deeply silenced her with a kiss.

Her breathing became labored, and she lost all strength.

She only got a chance to catch her breath when he moved away slightly and kissed the corner of her lips. She pushed against his chest with both hands and turned her flushed face away.

"Yan Chenghui, I don't want to be with you..."

Her voice trembled, but she still refused.

Yan Chenghui tossed her undergarment aside, grasped her face with his large hand, and his eyes were red.

"If you don't want me, who do you want to be with?"

He was breathing heavily and his voice was hoarse.

"Can't I not want to?" Cen Lingyi glared at him with her watery eyes: "I think you're dirty."

He had just slept with Qin Luoshui.

Moreover, he spent four consecutive nights with Qin Luoshui, and they made love countless times.

He kept Qin Luoshui under his thumb for the first half of the night, and then came to her place for the second half.

Who could accept that?

At the very least, it should be washed and left to air dry for a few days, right?

"I didn't look down on you when you married Lu Huaiyou, so why are you looking down on me?"

Yan Chenghui's tone turned cold, but his actions became increasingly unrestrained.

He pulled her close, embraced her tightly, and kissed her lips again.

"I don't……"

Cen Lingyi shook her head to avoid him, and in her disgust and annoyance, she blurted out the truth.

"My relationship with Lu Huaiyou is completely innocent..."

She thought she was him? That she could have that kind of thing with anyone?

"The bastard has already given birth."

Yan Chenghui snorted coldly, pinched her chin, and lowered his head again to press his lips against hers.

He didn't believe it.

"My child is not a bastard!"

Cen Lingyi pushed him with all her might.

She knew he wouldn't listen to her explanation, and even if she did, he wouldn't believe her.

Yan Chenghui remained silent, holding both of her wrists with one hand and pinching her waist with the other.

"Yan Chenghui, you..."

Cen Lingyi let out a muffled groan.

Shh, don't wake the child.

Yan Chenghui whispered in her ear.

Cen Lingyi bit his shoulder.

"You're disgusting."

She raised her hand to hit him.

"Go ahead and hit me, bite me a few more times."

Yan Chenghui brought his face close to hers.

Cen Lingyi hated him to death and bit down on his Adam's apple.

Isn't it said that the Adam's apple is a vital part of a person's body?

I might as well bite him to death, so he won't keep bothering her.

Finally, for the first time, she heard him groan in pain.

She relented.

"Jiaojiao, you're so heartless."

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, so adorable Jiaojiao..."

Yan Chenghui's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at her face, as if he wanted to tear her apart, devour her, and make her a true part of him, from which she could never escape.

"Still trying to escape?"

"When you speak, are you only close to me, and will you never run off with anyone else?"

"How many children did you promise to have for me?"

He pressed him relentlessly with his questions.

Cen Lingyi couldn't resist at all, so she obediently listened to him.

Her mind was a complete blank; she couldn't think straight.

We can only let him say whatever he wants, and that is what he says.

"I will never run away again..."

"I promise I'll only be with Yan Chenghui, and I'll never go with anyone else..."

"I promise that from this day forward, my heart and eyes will only belong to Yan Chenghui..."

She was forced to say a lot of things.

"Jiaojiao, you're such a good girl."

Yan Chenghui hugged her tightly, his tone tinged with satisfaction.

"Can you let go of me now?"

It took Cen Lingyi a moment to come to her senses, and she pushed him on the shoulder.

He had four or five teeth marks on both shoulders, along with fresh scratches.

She felt embarrassed to look any longer and turned her head to look in her son's direction.

The little one slept soundly, undisturbed at all.

She was relieved, but then she had a strange thought: how come he was so clean, with only her marks on him?

Then he thought again, Qin Luoshui and the others were all doing it willingly, they were too busy kissing him to bear biting or scratching him.

Her chest began to feel heavy again.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, be good."

Yan Chenghui refused to give up so easily.

"Get out!"

Cen Lingyi strongly opposed it.

This occasional visit is just right for her.

If she lets him do whatever he wants, she'll be barely alive by tomorrow and will have to sleep for another day.

She wanted to get rid of him.

He let her escape a little distance, then caught her again.

"Yan Chenghui, I'm going to fall..."

Cen Lingyi's head was dangling over the edge of the bed.

"Still running?"

Yan Chenghui took her hand.

"No... I'm not running anymore..."

Cen Lingyi could only beg for mercy.

After who knows how long it went on, the bedroom finally became completely quiet.

"You can go take a shower now."

Cen Lingyi no longer had the strength to argue with him.

"I'll carry you there."

Yan Chenghui embraced her.

"Get off me first."

Cen Lingyi glanced at him.

Yan Chenghui smiled and said, "Wait a moment."

"What are you waiting for?"

Cen Lingyi's breathing and heartbeat were still a bit fast.

He spent four nights with Qin Luoshui, yet he still had the energy to torment her.

He's in good health.

"Didn't you say you'd have my baby?"

Yan Chenghui kissed her lips.

"Give birth my ass."

Cen Lingyi was furious.

That's why she wanted to take a bath!

She doesn't want to get pregnant!

Although it's possible to have an abortion during pregnancy, it's harmful to the body.

He doesn't consider her at all.

"No swearing allowed."

Yan Chenghui wasn't annoyed and kept talking to her close.

"Let me get up first."

Cen Lingyi moved slightly.

"Don't move."

Yan Chenghui bit her ear.

"you!"

The blush on Cen Lingyi's face had barely faded before it surged again, and she punched him with her fist.

Yan Chenghui simply hugged her and smiled.

Cen Lingyi stopped moving and felt the vibration of his laughter coming from his chest. She was stunned.

She hadn't seen him smile like that in a very, very long time.

so tired.

Unable to shake him off, she actually fell asleep.

In her hazy state, she felt him pick her up and bathe her, but she didn't have the strength to open her eyes.

I slept very soundly.

"Wake up."

The voice of Yan Chenghui reached my ears.

Cen Lingyi opened her eyes and found that the sun was already high in the sky, yet Yan Chenghui was still standing in front of her.

However, he was already dressed neatly and stood by the bed, looking refined and dignified, showing no trace of his recklessness from the previous night.

"Why didn't you go to the morning court? Where is Huai Jiao?"

Cen Lingyi was not fully awake yet, and she propped herself up to ask him.

"Huai Jiao was lured out by Lingzhi and the others. I just returned from court, and Father Emperor wants to see you."

Yan Chenghui said in a calm voice.

She spoke to him in such a natural manner, just like he had imagined their married life.

He naturally referred to himself as "I".

"His Majesty wishes to see me?"

Cen Lingyi was startled and immediately came to her senses.

Why would His Majesty suddenly decide to see her?
