Pei Jinâs clothes were disorderly.
Yan Shi Ning heard Pei Jin breathed heavily, his eyes were red and he gave off a crazy wild animal aura.
Pei Jin staggered onto the bed, hugged Yan Shi Ning and spoke huskily. âSu Yue put lust herbs in my soup.â
âWhat-â Yan Shi Ning said.
Pei Jin laid on top of Yan Shi Ning and kissed her. She felt something hard pressed against her stomach and her body tensed in anticipation. Was she going to experience a wedding night?
Yan Shi Ningâs heart was chaotic. Pei Jinâs lips left her lips and his hands loosened the grip on her waist.
Pei Jin hugged Yan Shi Ning and he smiled. âWife, donât worry. I promised if youâre not willing then I wonât force you. I can control the lust herbs effect.â
Pei Jin let go of Yan Shi Ning and he laid on the bed. Her heart ached because of the clear suffering on his face.
âBig brother, why did Su Yue put lust herbs in your soup?â Yan Shi Ning asked.
Pei Jin pulled Yan Shi Ning to his chest. âHuang Guo sent her to be my maid and spy on me. He wanted her to become one of my consorts, but I have never touched her. Today she was punished to stay in her chamber to reflect. She panicked and wanted to turn rice grains into steamed rice.â
After Pei Jin opened his mouth, he couldnât control himself and kissed Yan Shi Ningâs lips again. His hands swiftly took off her clothes and untied her undergarments. His hands didnât resist touching her soft skin and pink peaks.
Yan Shi Ning gasped for air and pushed Pei Jin away. âBig brother, if sheâs responsible for giving you lust herbs then big brother should let her serve you.â
Pei Jin bit Yan Shi Ningâs lips hard and heard her moan of pain but her breathing quickened.
Pei Jin looked at Yan Shi Ningâs flushed face, crinkled forehead and kissed her deeply. âWife, I only want you. I donât want anyone else.â
Yan Shi Ning heard the conviction in Pei Jinâs tone, her ears reddened and she felt her soul floating away.
âBut I know youâre not willing,â Pei Jin said and let Yan Shi Ning go. âTonight Iâll endure.â
Yan Shi Ning looked at the strain on Pei Jinâs face and she felt guilty for making him endure. She reasoned they were married and sleeping with him was fated by the heavens. There was no need for her to deprive him and for him to suffer.
âBig brother... you donât need to endure anymore...â Yan Shi Ning whispered.
Pei Jin lowered his head so Yan Shi Ning couldnât see his devious smile. He raised his head, looked at her with pained eyes and he spoke in a hoarse voice. âNo, Shi Ning, I can endure.â
Yan Shi Ningâs body trembled in admiration. She thought if Pei Jin heard her consent then he would immediately jump on her body, she didnât expect him to force himself to be a gentleman.
Yan Shi Ningâs impression of Pei Jin improved greatly in her heart, it appeared he was a good person. She silently vowed in the future she wouldnât kick him anymore.
Pei Jin endured his frustrations. Of course he could easily ingest a pill to counteract the effect of lust herbs and didnât need to torment himself. But he saw the softness in Yan Shi Ningâs eyes and his eyes brightened, his frustrations bear fruit.
That night Pei Jin rolled on the bed and mumbled countlessly while his hands continuously wandered on Yan Shi Ningâs body. âFinally the effect of the lust herbs have worn off.â
Yan Shi Ning remembered how Pei Jin endured throughout the night so she didnât protest that his hands wandered everywhere on her body.
In the calligraphy room Su Yueâs heart withered. She couldnât believe even under the influence of lust herbs Pei Jin didnât want to touch her.
The following morning Pei Jin awoken early. He stared at Yan Shi Ning who was sleeping on his chest and he smiled like a scoundrel.
A while later Pei Jinâs eyes darkened coldly. He couldnât allow to let Su Yue stay in his manor anymore! But Su Yue was given to him by Huang Guo, he needed a good reason to return Su Yue that wouldnât offend Huang Guo. His head were full of thoughts of how to return Su Yue in a way that Huang Guo was forced to accept.
