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

Yu Chen reached his hand down her back, his palm against her skin, and slowly swept it down.

The rough touch sent a shiver down her spine, and she flinched, but he held her down.

He brushed the last piece aside, and it rolled to the side with a soft sound.

Su Wuli thought that was the end of it.

But to her surprise, the man slipped his other hand under her knees and lifted her up in his arms.

She gasped softly and instinctively clung to his neck.

He stood up, picked her up, and took a few steps.

The candlelight flickered behind him, casting a long shadow on the wall.

Su Wuli glanced at him and pressed her against his chest.

The inside of the tatami mat was covered with a thick mattress, which was softer than before.

Yu Chen put her down.

But when he put her down, he didn't let go; instead, he leaned down and covered her with his whole body.

The mattress was so soft that she sank into it, sinking deeper into its softness. He pressed down on her, and she sank even deeper.

Su Wuli's hand, which was clinging to the back of his neck, didn't have time to loosen, and she was pulled down onto the couch along with him.

His hot breath tickled her ear. "Still uncomfortable?"

She shook her head.

The mattress was so soft that she couldn't exert any strength, and she felt completely sinking into it.

His weight pressed down on me, and he kissed me again.

His hand slid down her waist, supporting her and lifting her up a little.

Su Wuli thought he was going to change positions, but instead he simply picked her up.

She let out a soft cry and clung tightly to his neck.

Yu Chen held her and placed her on the inside of the couch.

The mattress was thicker and softer, and when she sank into it, she felt herself sinking deeper.

This time, there were no cold chess pieces, only his warmth.

The hand gripping his back loosened, then tightened again.

He seemed oblivious...

She habitually bit her lip.

The man kissed the corner of her mouth and then her chin.

"What are you biting?"

Su Wuli opened her lips, which was met with an involuntary hum.

Yu Chen heard this and chuckled softly.

The laughter was so loud it made her feel numb all over.

Later, I don't know how much time passed.

Su Wuli felt like she was falling apart, and her mind gradually became unable to think of anything.

A thought suddenly popped into my head at a certain moment.

I definitely won't let you bring food next time.

She vaguely thought, "So much strength..."

If I hadn't eaten those things, would I not have been so fierce?

Will that make it lighter?

Would that give her a chance to catch her breath?

Yu Chen looked down at her. "What are you thinking about?"

Su Wuli was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and she quickly shook her head.

However, the man just stared at her.

Feeling guilty under his gaze, she buried her face in his chest.

My heart was pounding, each beat hitting her cheek.

Su Wuli pursed her lips, inwardly grumbling.

Next time... I really won't let you bring it.

That will leave me without any energy...

As she was thinking this, she didn't notice that the corner of her mouth twitched.

He lowered his head, his lips close to her ear, "What are you laughing at?"

Su Wuli paused for a moment, then quickly composed herself.

"...I didn't laugh."

"Hmm..." Yu Chen didn't ask any further questions.

His hand slid down her waist and gently pinched her.

She couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

A deep voice whispered in her ear, tinged with amusement.

"What were you thinking about just now?"

Su Wuli was somewhat stubborn and refused to speak.

He pinched her again, making her already soft waist even more so.

Unable to hold it in any longer, she could only whisper, "...I won't bring you food next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen paused for a moment.

As if thinking he had misheard, he asked, "What?"

Su Wuli regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking, burying her face even deeper and not daring to look at him.

There was a two-second silence, followed by a low chuckle from the man.

Su Wuli felt her face burning and refused to lift it up.

However, after Yu Chen finished laughing, he lowered his head, his lips close to her ear, and said, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was taken aback.

He pulled her closer to him, resting his chin on the top of her head.

He said meaningfully, "Then I will go hungry."

Su Wuli buried herself in his arms, her face burning hot.

The man didn't say anything more after he finished speaking, but his hand was still around her waist, pressed against her skin.

Her mind was a mess.

Yu Chen's words didn't sound like anything special, but combined with his laughter and tone of voice just now, Su Wuli felt that something was amiss.

I thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out.

Perhaps it means exactly what it says?

Su Wuli couldn't help herself and asked in a low voice, "...What are you laughing at?"

There was no reply after he finished speaking.

She asked again, sounding a bit more anxious than before, "What...what were you laughing at just now?"

Yu Chen replied, "I'm laughing at you."

Su Wuli paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "What are you laughing at me for?"

Yu Chen did not answer.

She couldn't help but look up, wanting to see the expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, Yu Chen lowered his eyes, and Su Wuli met his gaze.

The man's eyes looked even darker than before.

"You want me to go hungry?" He lowered his voice even further when he said "go hungry."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli suddenly realized something.

Hungry.

He was referring to... that hungry one?

Her face instantly flushed.

"That's not what I meant..." Su Wuli hurriedly explained, "I meant it was really about eating..."

As she spoke, she met Yu Chen's eyes, and that gaze made her feel increasingly guilty.

"Really..." her voice trailed off, "I just think you... are too strong..."

The man raised an eyebrow and pressed, "And then?"

Su Wuli realized what she had said in an attempt to explain herself, and her face flushed with embarrassment, she couldn't continue.

After holding it in for a long time, she finally buried her face in his chest and mumbled, "...That's all."

Immediately afterwards, his large hand moved away from her waist and gently pressed on the back of her head.

"You're strong." He said it as if he were repeating her words.

Su Wuli simply shut her mouth and remained silent.

Then the man spoke again, "It won't be light."

Then his lips brushed against her ear, full of meaning, "The same next time."

Before she could even process what those words meant, she was pushed directly into the mattress.

But it was still heavy, making Su Wuli feel like she was sinking into the soft mattress and into his arms.

I can't think of anything at all.

…………

the next day.

The afternoon's schedule was relaxed, with Su Wuli having almost two hours between her two scenes.

She stayed in the dressing room on set.

Su Yuan went to buy her coffee, leaving her alone in the house.

She leaned back on the sofa and subconsciously clicked on the novel's super topic.

Type in the search box.

[The Regent's House Arrest]

The page redirected, and several posts appeared.

She clicked on it and scrolled down one by one.
