The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

The candle in the purification room was burning, emitting a faint light, making the whole room shrouded in a hazy glow.

Jiang Nansheng's strong back was displayed under the open collar. The muscle lines on his body rose and fell slightly with his movements, like a winding mountain range full of strength.

Compared with the dignified and self-contained image during the day, Mr. Jiang Wu at night is more tense and reveals a hint of aggressiveness.

As soon as Gu Jinchu walked in, her steps paused involuntarily, but she quickly raised her legs and slowly walked towards him.

She stretched out her hand and tried to pick up the official uniform that was half hanging on his arm, but Jiang Nansheng gently raised his hand to block her movement.

The voice sounded particularly hoarse and low in the thick night: "Jin Chu, I'm not drunk, go back to the inner room and wait for me."

His deep eyes sparkled with tenderness and doting, but also contained the restraint of trying hard to endure.

At this moment, his mind and body were clear. In this small room, every corner carried the absurd scenes they had experienced.

If at this time, he asked Jin Chu to stay and help him wash up, he couldn't guarantee whether he could maintain good self-control.

Jiang Nansheng turned his head to look at Gu Jinchu, his eyes were red and dark. Seeing this, Gu Jinchu took back his white hand from his belt.

In the candlelight, the shape of his full chest and abdominal muscles were stained with a light honey color.

A faint smell of alcohol wafted out of his mouth as he spoke, mixed with the heat from his body, causing Gu Jinchu's cheeks to blush uncontrollably.

She nodded slightly and left the bathroom, immediately telling the maid to prepare a hangover soup.

Looking at the maid's back as she agreed and walked out, Gu Jinchu let out a light breath and walked back to the inner room with the sound of water splashing behind him.

In the inner room, the candlelight was bright, illuminating the furnishings in the room.

Gu Jinchu sat on the Arhat bed and waited for a long time.

Just when I felt like I was about to fall asleep, I saw Master Jiang Wu, who was dressed in a fresh and cool outfit, walking towards me from behind the partition.

At this time, it was completely dark outside, and the candlelight made his shadow long and narrow.

She raised her head and looked at him, and saw that his eyes were also on her, without blinking.

Jiang Nansheng walked to Luohan's bed, bent down and sat down beside her. Gu Jinchu seemed to hear his sigh, and before he could say anything, he was hugged in his arms.

Unlike before when he held her tightly in his arms, this time Jiang Nansheng leaned over and put his head in the crook of her neck.

Gu Jinchu's body froze for a moment. In the past, she was the one who was taken care of. This was the first time she felt the feeling of being relied on.

She hugged his thick back and asked softly, "Did you meet someone or something happened? Why did you drink so much today?"

Gu Jinchu knew that Jiang Nansheng had a good alcohol tolerance, although he had never seen him drunk. This was the first time he smelled such a strong smell of alcohol on him after their marriage.

Jiang Nansheng hummed, rubbed his forehead against her neck and shoulder, and said slowly: "Chen San has returned from Liaodong, and Qin Lang and Zhou Boyan are also at the table..."

There is also Lu Anhe, but that person has a very bad reputation, and he doesn't want to tell Jin Chu about it, for fear of polluting her ears.

He drank a few bowls just to get Lu Anhe drunk. Lu Anhe almost became a relative of the Gu family's eldest branch, and was considered a member of the Second Prince's faction.

Gu Jinchu took the hangover soup brought by Bai Zhi and placed it on the kang table beside the two of them.

She straightened her back to make Jiang Nansheng lean more comfortably. She put one arm around him and raised the other hand to touch his cheek, then placed it on his forehead.

Jiang Nansheng's head and face were itchy from her fingers, and he straightened up from her.

Gu Jinchu looked at the rare tiredness in his red eyes, and couldn't help but think of the time when he opened his eyes in the morning and saw him staring at him intently.

It was just like when he first came in, he was staring at her like this, but there were some more emotions in his eyes that she couldn't understand.

Gu Jinchu had never seen Master Jiang Wu drunk, so he was not sure if this was his drunken state.

She raised her hand to gather the still damp hair on his forehead, picked up the hangover soup, and asked him softly, "If you don't drink it, it will get cold. Can I feed you?"

Seeing that Master Jiang Wu was still silent, Gu Jinchu scooped a spoonful of sobering soup, lowered his head to test the temperature with his lips, and then held the spoon to his lips.

Jiang Nansheng opened his mouth, but she only fed him a mouthful. Then he lowered his head and took her hand, drinking up the hangover soup in the bowl.

Gu Jinchu asked the maid to take the bowls away and told them to wait a while before serving dinner. After the head maid agreed and left, she wiped his lips with a handkerchief.

She whispered, "...Did you not get enough rest last night? Shall I help you lie down on the bed?"

It was fine for Master Jiang Wu to sit on the bed like this, because with his height, he couldn't even stretch his legs even if he half leaned against it. It didn't look very comfortable to be squeezed together with her like this.

Hearing that she didn't get enough rest, Jiang Nansheng's eyes became dark. He held Gu Jinchu's outstretched hand, put one hand on her waist, and gradually pressed it towards himself.

The other big hand lifted her chin, lowered his eyes and moved closer.

Gu Jinchu only felt that the light in front of his eyes gradually dimmed, and his nostrils were filled with the aroma of wine between his lips and teeth, the taste of Qiu Bailu.

Jiang Nansheng kissed him deeply and heavily, her breathing became disordered. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her arms to hold his neck, entrusting herself to him wholeheartedly.

Some of the quick and indulgent kisses seemed to last a long time, yet also seemed to be over in just a few breaths.

After Jiang Nansheng stopped, he did not turn around. He put his forehead against hers and said her name in a low and hoarse voice: "Jin Chu." But he did not continue.

He whispered her name in the same way in the early morning, and his tense body relaxed after hearing her response.

Gu Jinchu half-raised her head, her slightly parted red lips pressed against the corner of his lips, and she responded softly, "I'm here."

Sure enough, Jiang Nansheng's expression relaxed. After hugging her to calm down for a while, he told the servant guarding the door to bring dinner.

……

In Lanyuan, in the west side room of the main house, the dining table was filled with steamed white crabs, braised grey mullet, pickled mud snails and grilled shrimps.

Li sat at the table. Although her movements were elegant, the action of putting the food into her mouth was clear.

The table full of seafood exudes an enticing aroma and looks particularly delicious under the candlelight.

These seafood were sent by her family.

My fifth brother's wife is pregnant and cannot eat seafood. In addition to Yuanyuan Hall, every courtyard of the Li family sent some.

Hearing the servant's greeting, Li paused holding the mud snail in her hand, and put the snail meat into her mouth without even raising her head.

Mingyue and Mother Xia, who were serving on the side, bowed and greeted the Third Master as soon as they saw him come in.

Jiang Nanyiyi stood there, looking at the dinner on the table, neither knowing whether to stand nor sit.

He frowned habitually: "Madam, why hasn't the plaque on the hanging flower gate been replaced yet?"
