We are already married, husband and wife. Even if I don’t address you as ‘My Lord’, you are still my husband.” Saying this, she took hold of one of his hands that rested on the table.
“Mhm.” Xiao Changyi took her hand in his and held it tightly in response.
After they were fully sated with food and drink, Xiao Changyi got up to clear the table and wash the dishes in the kitchen, while An Jing lay in bed, rubbing her slightly distended stomach, reveling in the luxury of having meat to eat.
Normally, a newly married couple would have red dates, peanuts, longan, and melon seeds on their bed, signifying the wish for an early birth of a noble child. However, given An Jing’s body might not be able to have children, she and Xiao Changyi didn’t bother to prepare these and add to their troubles.
Xiao Changyi returned to the inner chamber an hour later, and An Jing distinctly noticed that Xiao Changyi had taken another bath.
An Jing: “…” Should she also take another bath?
But she had bathed just two hours ago, and hadn’t exerted herself to sweat a single drop, so it probably wasn’t necessary.
Thinking this way, An Jing stopped fretting over whether to bathe again.
“Why did you take another bath?” An Jing propped herself on the bed, feigning ignorance and clearly teasing Xiao Changyi.
Xiao Changyi remained unfazed: “I smelled of smoke.”
He had brought the meals from the kitchen and taken back the leftovers and empty bowls. He also washed the dishes, so naturally, he picked up the smell of smoke.
Yet Ke Anjing was relentless, continuing to tease: “Even if you didn’t bathe, I wouldn’t mind~”
After all, this man managed not to change his expression at all. She was determined to see him change his face!
Xiao Changyi said nothing, just walked over to the bed.
Suddenly feeling nervous, An Jing forgot all about her teasing, instinctively shrank back into the bed, swallowed, and whispered tentatively, “Is it a bit early for… that?”
Xiao Changyi: “It’s already dark.”
An Jing was about to suggest they could watch some TV or play some games first, but then she abruptly realized she was in ancient times, not the modern era, and the ancients lived by the ‘rise at dawn, rest at dusk’ principle.
Darkness meant bedtime…
“Can we… not do it tonight?” An Jing swallowed again before using a negotiating tone to address Xiao Changyi.
Truthfully, An Jing had never imagined a day when she would be so nervous, especially to this extent, but today, she was indeed very nervous, genuinely fearful of the wedding night.
Xiao Changyi stood at the bedside, silent, just looking at An Jing.
After a long silence between them, An Jing conceded defeat, lowering her head and mumbling timidly, “I guess I’m not quite ready…”
Only then did Xiao Changyi nod and say, “Mhm.”
“Really?” An Jing immediately looked up at him, incredulous that he would actually agree not to touch her on their wedding night.
Seeing him nod again and thinking about how he indulged her in almost everything, and considering she had indeed accepted him, An Jing suddenly felt she was being overly sentimental. Why not have the wedding night today?
Besides, it had to happen sooner or later, so it might as well be today, straightforwardly.
With that thought, An Jing threw caution to the wind. She grabbed Xiao Changyi’s hand from the side of the bed and yanked, and the completely unprepared Xiao Changyi was pulled down onto the bed by her.
Immediately climbing on top of Xiao Changyi, she declared dominantly, “Forget it, let’s do it today after all!”
Without another word, she kissed Xiao Changyi on the lips.
