Chapter 606 - 606 Real Husband and Wife_1

Wei Ruo leaned over again, and realizing what she was about to do, Wei Jinyi abruptly closed his eyes.

Wei Ruo felt Wei Jinyi’s body stiffen and reassured him, “It’s okay, it will be over soon.”

No sooner had Wei Ruo spoken than the room started to spin; Wei Jinyi suddenly rotated her in a 180-degree turn.

She, who was previously on top, was now at the bottom.

“Second brother?”

Before Wei Ruo could finish speaking, his lips sealed hers…

And then…

Wave after wave of heat engulfed her, drowning her time and time again in his passion.

Wei Ruo had never imagined that this person, usually so aloof and bland, could also show such a wild and passionate side.

Her words of “it will be over soon” not only failed to hold true, they signaled the start of a sleepless night.

###

In the early morning, Wei Ruo opened her eyes lethargically, looking at the sunlight shining through the window, and realizing she had overslept.

As she should have, because the night before…

Thinking about last night, Wei Ruo turned her head and looked beside her. Wei Jinyi was looking at her.

His face was still cold and indifferent, yet the memories of last night were so vivid. It made Wei Ruo a little confused about which version of the second brother was the real one.

Wei Ruo’s gaze moved downwards, beneath the duvet…

Thinking that they were still not dressed yet, embarrassingly, Wei Ruo quickly turned her head to the other side.

“I’m sorry.”

Wei Jinyi’s apology reached her ears.

“Why are you sorry?” Wei Ruo asked softly without looking back, staring only at the discarded clothes on the floor.

They were evidence of their wild indulgence the night before.

“I made you uncomfortable,” Wei Jinyi said.

Hearing these words, Wei Ruo turned her head back and looked at Wei Jinyi, seeing his furrowed brows and suddenly understood something.

“No… I didn’t…” she murmured, “it was… it was good…”

Wei Jinyi looked at Wei Ruo without speaking, as if he was trying to gauge the sincerity of her words.

“It’s not as bad as you think; you’re worrying too much,” Wei Ruo added.

“Does it hurt?” asked Wei Jinyi, his face filled with concern.

“No, it doesn’t,” Wei Ruo responded, quickly changing the subject. “It’s getting late; we should get up now.”

“All right.”

Wei Jinyi rose first.

Wei Ruo lay on the bed, watching him dress.

Looking at his body, memories of last night kept flooding Wei Ruo’s mind.

Soon, she felt her body growing hot.

After a while, Wei Jinyi, having dressed, approached the door. He spoke briefly with someone outside, then Xiumei and the others came in.

They brought in hot water, and Xiumei began helping Wei Ruo bathe and change clothes.

Recalling how Xiumei had teased her before, Wei Ruo was too embarrassed to say a word.

It wasn’t until she had put on fresh clothes, and breakfast was laid out in front of her, that Wei Ruo dared to look up at Xiumei.

Xiumei wore a smile on her face, but it wasn’t one of ridicule. She was genuinely happy for Wei Ruo.

Their lady and their prince, after being married for so long, had finally become a proper husband and wife.

The winter of the twenty-fifth year in Renwu era.

The first winter of King Rui and Queen Rui in their own fiefdom.

Jiliao reported good news, a crop known as the potato was thriving well, leading to a bountiful harvest.

The common people had a good year.

In the spring of the twenty-sixth year of the Renwu era, Queen Rui was pregnant.

In the same year’s winter, Queen Rui gave birth to a son. The news was reported to the court, and the Emperor was delighted. He sent many gifts to the King Rui Residence in Jiliao City.

That year, the crisis with the Jurchen Tribe was resolved, and trade increased significantly.

The Jurchen Tribe’s Yehe Department proposed a marriage alliance, and the Emperor arranged for Lu Yuhong, the legitimate son of the Lu Family, to marry the princess.

Spring of the twenty-seventh year of Renwu.

The threat of the Japanese Pirates along the southeast coast was essentially eliminated.

Due to the improvements in warships, the Anti-Japanese Army, which used to only defend on shore, changed to confront the enemy at sea. Their powerful force gradually caused the Japanese Pirates to lose their intentions of invading again.

Wei Mingting was promoted to the Third Rank General of Dingyuan.

That same winter, Wei Yichen joined the cabinet, becoming the youngest member in the history of the great enterprise.

Spring of the twenty-eighth year of Renwu.

Thanks to the widespread acceptance of refugees and the significant increase in newborns, the registered population of the Jiliao Region doubled.

The fifth day of May, in the twenty-eighth year of Renwu. The Dragon Boat Festival.

Jiliao City.

The King Rui Residence.

Day had just broken, and Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi had not yet woken up.

The two lay nestled together in bed, just as they did during the time after their wedding night three years ago.

“Mother, I want Mother.”

A soft, babyish voice resounded outside the room.

The little one who could hardly talk clearly was crying for his mother.

“Let him in,” Wei Ruo spoke towards the doorway.

And then, the door opened and a small bundle stumbled in.

Once at the bedside, he began trying to hoist himself up the foot of the bed with both hands.

However, the height of the bed seemed too challenging for the barely one-and-a-half-year-old.

Seeing his impatience, Wei Ruo prodded Wei Jinyi with her hand, “Second brother.”

Wei Jinyi understood. He reached out an arm and hoisted the small bundle onto the bed.

As soon as he got onto the bed, the little one scurried over to Wei Ruo who was on the inner side.

“Mother, Mother.”

While crawling over, he called out to Wei Ruo in his babyish voice.

“Alright, alright. Mommy’s here. Why did you come and find me so early in the morning?” Wei Ruo asked with a smile.

“Cluck cluck chicken, cluck cluck chicken, egg.”

“Did the cluck cluck chicken lay an egg? Should I have Aunt Xiumei steam it for you to eat later?”

“No! No eat! Want chick!”

“Okay, then we won’t eat it. We’ll let the mother chicken hatch her baby chicks.”

“Chick! Chick baby!” The little bundle called out excitedly.

Then he began to babble, “Cluck cluck chicken, make lots of babies, I take! Ahuang doesn’t like, brother Yu wants…”

Ahuang is a dog raised in the orphanage, and Brother Yu is the son of Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang.

It seemed as though he was trying to tell Wei Ruo about his adventures. However, lacking language skills, Wei Ruo could only make out key words.

He chattered on Wei Ruo’s chest for a good while, seeming to have endless things to tell her.

About a quarter of an hour later, he was picked up by Wei Jinyi, and Xiumei was called.

“Take him out.”

After Wei Jinyi threw the small bundle back to Xiumei, he had her take him out again.

“Second brother, Yange is our son.”

“Hmm.”

“But you always chase him off our bed.”

It’s not that Wei Jinyi didn’t like Yange, but whenever Yange occupied too much of Wei Ruo’s time, he would have him escorted out.

“We should get up.” Wei Jinyi said.

Wei Jinyi then went to fetch Wei Ruo’s clothes, helping her dress.

Wei Ruo had never let anyone help her dress before. But now, having become a wife and a mother, she found herself dressing under Wei Jinyi’s assistance every day.

The two had just dressed when Zhang Yi’s voice came from outside the door.

“Master, urgent news from the Capital City.”

For the first time in three years, Zhang Yi was in such a hurry that he came directly to Wei Jinyi’s bedroom to find him.
