Upon hearing his assurance, Luo Cuiwei seemed to be stunned for a moment, and her face, which was pressed against his shoulder, suddenly became hot.
"If... if you don't have anything to do, then I'm really going to sleep."
In the darkness, her delicate voice trembled with annoyance, as if she were gritting her teeth.
She kicked him again, as if venting her anger.
Now it was Yun Lie's turn to be stunned—
This sounds like it's encouraging him to do whatever he wants!
Chapter 63
The tall body, which had been lying on its back, suddenly rolled over with a sudden and violent movement, as if it were uprooting a mountain and shaking a peak.
In the dim light, Luo Cuiwei saw golden flowers before her eyes, and then she was pulled in. The intensely hot breath enveloped her body, making her unable to move.
The candle by the bedside had long been blown out. In the deep stillness of the night, it was difficult to see anything through the curtains. All that could be seen was a person with black hair hanging loosely above him, and he could not make out the expression on his face at all.
Only those bright, fiery eyes stood out, a hint of arrogance in them, a piercing smile that went straight to her heart.
"I have a feeling that you are trying to trick me."
Faced with his wife's sudden, suggestive hint, his deep, hoarse voice was filled with unease, as if he were having an internal struggle.
If she hadn't known she was no match for him, Luo Cuiwei would have loved to kick this idiot five miles away.
Although the two submitted their marriage certificate on the first day of the third lunar month, and have been married for more than half a year, they did not actually consummate their marriage until their wedding night on the 27th of the sixth lunar month. It has been less than three months since then, so she inevitably still feels a little awkward and shy in bed.
Today, she finally mustered the courage to subtly "invite" me, and this fool's first thought was that she might be trying to trick me!
Let her get so angry she'll die.
"Oh, you saw through me," she mumbled softly, suppressing her awkwardness and annoyance. Her voice was low, soft, and slightly husky, with an inexplicable, alluring charm. "Get lost."
After speaking, she twisted her body in a huff, trying to break free from his weak suppression.
This thoughtless action immediately landed her in trouble.
“It’s too late to back out now,” Yun Lie tensed, pressing down on her with his forehead against hers, his breath growing heavy and disordered. “If you’re trying to test whether I’m a gentleman who keeps his promises…”
The deep, hoarse voice, barely able to contain itself, held a mixture of laughter and sighs, "...Then you guessed right, I'm not."
The familiar, scorching scent was forcefully delivered to Luo Cuiwei's lips by his lips and tongue, as if afraid she would change her mind, he stubbornly blocked her mouth, both savage and domineering.
This person... mmm... how... mmm...
The sudden and fierce attack made Luo Cuiwei's ears burn, her head spin, and her body go limp.
She wanted to clarify that she had no intention of going back on her word, but the person kissing her didn't give her a chance to speak again, so she could only awkwardly and timidly hold his lips and tongue in her mouth, letting him do as he pleased.
In the midst of their entanglement, her sash was ripped open, her two slender arms still encased in her sleeves, but her clothes were already disheveled and wide open; a large, warm hand, burning like fire, scalded her entire body, stirring up a sweaty, slippery mess.
Before their clothes were even completely removed, their two shadows were already intertwined and burning, almost merging into one, indistinguishable from one another.
A scorching breath mingled with broken, trembling sobs and cries.
Within the dark curtains, waves of unrestrained passion surged and churned, indulging in sensual pleasures, to the point that even the moon in the sky could no longer bear to look, hastily pulling a dark cloud to obscure its flushed face.

The next day, His Highness Prince Zhao was naturally refreshed, radiant, and full of energy.
Having nothing better to do, Xiong Xiaoyi came over for breakfast and then went out with Yun Lie.
The two had barely left when Song Qiuqi came to the courtyard again, wanting to ask Luo Cuiwei about the cardamom.
The maid Tao Yin blushed and said, "Her Highness the Princess... has not yet risen. Please come again this afternoon, Miss Song."
Song Qiuqi scratched her head and muttered softly, "Does Her Highness the Princess sleep so much?"
"No, it's not that Your Highness is good at sleeping." Tao Yin lowered her face, thinking to herself that perhaps it should be said that His Highness Prince Zhao is too good at "sleeping".
As the only maidservant brought from the Prince Zhao's residence in the capital to Linchuan, Tao Yin has had a very "bitter" few months.
In fact, Yun Lie has never liked having people serve him closely, and Luo Cuiwei is not a difficult mistress, so even though only Tao Yin is here to take care of him, he is not too tired.
There was only one bitterness that made her blush but that she couldn't tell anyone—
Washing the bed sheets too often.

With the construction plan of Tuanshan Village provided by Luo Cuiwei as a model, Gao Zhan quickly made the most accurate and effective city defense layout based on the local terrain.
As the new city's development plan was perfected day by day, matters such as establishing a government, appointing officials, and revising laws became increasingly urgent.
“We issued a recruitment notice more than half a year ago, but no one has come from the capital,” Song Jiuyuan sighed with a worried expression. “I have a feeling that… perhaps someone is interfering.”
Yun Lie chuckled lightly, "Perhaps what? Do you know how Gao Zhan got here in the first place?"
"Wasn't it at Her Highness the Princess's invitation?" Song Jiuyuan asked, looking bewildered.
“It is true that he was invited by the Princess Consort, but it was also because of the recruitment order that he decided to stay and work here,” Yun Lie said with his arms crossed and a contemptuous smile. “But he learned about the recruitment order from Luo Fengming.”
