Chapter 129 Emotional
A surge of emotions welled up instantly, and this unfamiliar feeling left Xie Jinghan frozen in place.
It was late at night, and Wen Shuyao was dressed in thin clothes, with only an outer garment draped over her body.
The pale moonlight fell upon her, making every inch of her exposed skin appear even more radiant and fair under the bright moonlight, drawing one's gaze involuntarily upwards.
For more than twenty years, Xie Jinghan had always been a man of few desires and had never experienced such a moment before.
Those dreams of my youth were nothing more than fleeting illusions, leaving only faint traces.
But now, that unfamiliar emotion was so obvious; he looked at Wen Shuyao, his eyes filled with nothing but Wen Shuyao.
Wen Shuyao had a slender waist, fair and smooth skin, and that... bright and dazzling face.
"Your Majesty?"
Wen Shuyao became worried when she saw that Xie Jinghan had not made any move for a long time.
Could it be that the medicinal diet was too nourishing and made him stupid?
Thinking this to herself, she reached out and placed her hand on Xie Jinghan's wrist.
She had become a doctor through long illness in her previous life. Although she was not an expert, taking a pulse was a piece of cake for her.
However, the moment she touched Xie Jinghan, she felt the skin beneath her hand tighten.
She looked up, puzzled.
The next moment, Xie Jinghan grabbed her hand.
The two were extremely close at this moment, Xie Jinghan's handsome face was inches away, so close that their breaths mingled.
Before her, Xie Jinghan, who was usually aloof and indifferent to worldly desires, had an undisguised lust in his eyes.
Wen Shuyao's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly connected his changes with the medicinal diet.
Xie Jinghan's abstinence from worldly desires was not a rumor. In the two months since her marriage to Xie Jinghan, she had carefully observed him and found that apart from the so-called "confidante" at the beginning, there were no other young women in the entire Jingwang Mansion except for the maids she brought with her.
Although she and Xie Jinghan were a legally married couple, Xie Jinghan had only entered her bedroom twice, including today.
Therefore, she had already concluded that the rumors circulating outside about Xie Jinghan's impotence were true.
But now...
Wen Shuyao's heart pounded. She lowered her head uneasily, the lustful look in Xie Jinghan's eyes just now making her tremble with fear.
That doesn't look like the look in someone who is impotent at all.
"I'll make some hangover soup for Your Highness!"
In her panic, she rambled incoherently and made up an excuse to leave.
To her surprise, Xie Jinghan held her hand firmly, and she couldn't break free for a moment.
Wen Shuyao's heart was beating faster and faster. Although there were only her and Xie Jinghan in the room, she felt that the space was extremely cramped, making it hard to breathe.
"do not move."
Xie Jinghan's voice was hoarse, as if he was suppressing some kind of impulse.
He gripped Wen Shuyao's wrist, trying to calm his inner turmoil, but Wen Shuyao was still struggling.
In his palm lay the woman's soft skin, and his heart pounded even faster.
And in his ear, he could hear Wen Shuyao's soft voice, a voice so gentle and delicate, yet it fueled the flames of passion within him.
Xie Jinghan looked up and what came into view was the crimson hue at the corner of Wen Shuyao's eyes, which shattered the last line of defense in his heart.
With his mind in turmoil, he couldn't help but pull Wen Shuyao into his arms.
Among the women, Wen Shuyao is tall, but compared to Xie Jinghan, she appears petite.
"do not move."
Xie Jinghan called out again in a low voice.
His voice had become completely hoarse, and when he spoke, there was no fierceness in it, but rather a hint of ambiguity.
This was a side of Xie Jinghan that Wen Shuyao had never seen before.
But Xie Jinghan's appearance also instilled a sense of fear in her.
Tonight...
Tonight is not a good time.
Moreover, Xie Jinghan is impotent...
Her eyes changed, and Xie Jinghan understood.
Xie Jinghan scoffed and tightened his grip on Wen Shuyao's waist.
At this moment, Wen Shuyao clearly sensed the changes in Xie Jinghan.
She involuntarily placed her hand on Xie Jinghan's chest, but then felt it was too hot and quickly let go.
She stared wide-eyed at Xie Jinghan in disbelief.
"Yaoyao," Xie Jinghan said in a hoarse voice, "go open the window."
This wasn't the first time he had called Wen Shuyao by her nickname, but the previous situation was completely different from now. The man in front of her had a handsome face covered in blush, even the corners of his peach blossom eyes were tinged with red. His strong and powerful hands were firmly gripping her waist. Wen Shuyao felt a tingling sensation, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say.
After a moment of disorientation, she regained her footing and quickly broke free from Xie Jinghan's hand.
Instead of opening the window, it's better to open the door to let in some fresh air.
With that thought in mind, she prepared to open the door.
A helpless sigh came from behind Xie Jinghan, and Wen Shuyao realized that the door had been locked from the outside.
"The old lady must have locked the door," Xie Jinghan said helplessly. "I'll have to trouble Yaoyao to open the window."
It turns out he had anticipated this all along.
Wen Shuyao, who was always shrewd, was like an ignorant girl at this moment, letting Xie Jinghan arrange things for her.
Opening the window finally dissipated the heat inside the room.
But when she turned around, Xie Jinghan's face still showed barely concealed desire.
Thinking of that bowl of medicinal food and Granny Qi's unusual behavior today, Wen Shuyao immediately guessed that Granny Qi had put medicine in the medicinal food, wanting her to consummate her marriage with Xie Jinghan!
After guessing Qi Mama's intention, Wen Shuyao's face turned red.
She stood by the window, not daring to look at Xie Jinghan.
"if……"
"No need."
Xie Jinghan raised his hand, stopping Wen Shuyao from saying anything more.
He slowly shook his head: "Just wait a little longer, just a little longer."
This wait lasted for an hour.
Wen Shuyao stood by the window, hesitant to approach Xie Jinghan, letting the cool breeze from outside blow on her.
At this moment, there was no one to serve in the main courtyard. Granny Qi had already dismissed everyone, including Magpie.
She heard a rustling sound behind her and couldn't help but peek back, only to see Xie Jinghan had laid out a bed on the floor.
She was taken aback, then Xie Jinghan explained, "If you go out now, those who can't keep their mouths shut will probably spread this matter, and then there will be all sorts of rumors, which could very well damage your reputation."
Wen Shuyao was surprised at first, and then a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Xie Jinghan's actions were to take care of her.
There are many rumors circulating outside, including that Xie Jinghan is not interested in her and that she is still a virgin two months after their marriage.
The commotion tonight has probably reached the entire Prince's mansion. If Xie Jinghan goes out in the middle of the night, wouldn't that confirm the rumors that Xie Jinghan is not interested in her?
"Thank you, Your Highness," Wen Shuyao said softly.
"It's just that the ground is cold. If Your Highness doesn't mind..." She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Why don't you come and rest on the bed?"
