The sky gradually darkened, and a series of lanterns lit up under the corridor. Shen Chen took Wei An into his arms, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her hair. He said in a soft but firm voice: "I will never let you face these difficulties alone again. It's my fault. I didn't think it through..."
Wei An shook her head. She actually knew that Shen Chen did all this just to let King Linjiang see how she could handle the crisis with ease and change his opinion of her.
There is nothing wrong with her making such an effort to reconcile the relationship between her and Prince Linjiang.
Shen Chen smiled and tried to cheer her up: "Your brother asked me to do something for you, do you think I should agree?"
Wei An's eyes widened, and he tilted his head to look at him for a while before he suddenly realized: "Brother, do you want me to help you welcome the bride?"
Under the moonlight, her eyes seemed to be stained with a layer of brilliance, shining brightly under the lamp. Shen Chen looked at her silently, and suddenly felt his mouth dry.
Wei An was a little scared when he was staring at him, and tried hard to find a topic to diffuse the atmosphere: "You and..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Shen Chen leaning down towards her, and then she felt something soft covering her lips.
She stared at Shen Chen's face, which was already so close to her, with her eyes wide open. For a moment, she even forgot to push him away, and her hands subconsciously clutched Shen Chen's clothes.
The lips of his beloved were as tender as the finest chalcedony, and as pink and tender as the cherry blossoms on the trees. Shen Chen gently wandered among them, lingering and unwilling to leave for a long time.
Wei An came back to his senses from his initial shock. He was so embarrassed that his ears turned red. He stretched out his hand to push him away.
However, Shen Chen grabbed her hand and bit her lips lightly.
Wei An couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, but Shen Chen took the opportunity to drive straight in. She felt dizzy from the kiss and her hands couldn't help but tightly grasp Shen Chen's clothes.
I don’t know how long it was before Shen Chen let her go and chuckled softly.
Wei An finally came to his senses, pursed his lips in anger, felt embarrassed and ashamed, raised his head and wanted to curse, but when he met Shen Chen's eyes, he didn't know why he couldn't say a word. He stood up angrily and turned to leave.
Shen Chen suddenly pulled her from behind, his voice full of joy, and hugged her from behind, gently resting his head on her shoulder: "An An..."
The weather was already very hot, and the clothes were getting thinner and thinner. Wei An could feel the temperature of Shen Chen's body, which was like a branding iron. He couldn't help but step heavily on the back of his foot, feeling ashamed and angry: "Let me go!"
Her heart was beating so fast, as if it was no longer her own. Her face was burning hot, and she felt like she was walking on clouds, with no place to stand.
Shen Chen refused to let her go. Instead, he turned her around to face him, looked at her seriously, and sighed, "I know you're going to be angry that I don't respect you. If I tell you to run away, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet you again before we get married."
Wei An lowered her head and didn’t dare to look up, tears almost coming out: “Then why are you still... still like this..." She couldn’t say any more.
In the previous life, even though Peng Caichen always tried to please her and get close to her before marriage, she always behaved in a proper manner. After all, she was a girl raised in a marquis's mansion. Although Princess Changning deliberately did not give her a good education, she knew the basic rules and morals, and always observed the distance and rules between men and women.
After the marriage, the King of Chu's affair was settled, and Peng Caichen's true colors gradually revealed. He became increasingly distant from her. Their relationship had never been good to begin with.
She later avoided Peng Caichen and devoted herself to serving and pleasing his princess wife. Only then was she able to gain a foothold and exhaust Peng Caichen's family.
All she knew about the relationships between husband and wife and the joys of the boudoir were limited and pitiful.
Although she was lucky enough to be liked by both Shen Chen and Young Master Lin in this life, she had always treated them with courtesy. Even after she was engaged to Shen Chen, apart from Shen Chen holding her hand and putting his arm around her shoulders, she had not done anything out of the ordinary. Now that Shen Chen treated her like this, she was really angry and embarrassed and felt extremely ashamed.
Shen Chen couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his hand and pinched Wei An's pretty nose. Seeing that her eyes were red like a little rabbit about to cry, he couldn't help but kiss her eyes again. Feeling her eyelashes fluttering rapidly, he held her in his arms again, pursed his lips and said, "I know your temper... I also know that this shouldn't be done... But An An, I'm not a saint. When men and women fall in love, there will always be times when they can't help themselves... I look at you, but I can only look... I really can't help it."
He couldn't help sighing as he spoke: "It would be nice if we could get married now."
Wei An was both angry and amused by what he said: "You said that, or..."
She moved, but was surprised to find something pressing against her stomach. It was hard and uncomfortable. In an instant, her face turned as red as a persimmon. She was completely petrified and didn't know how to react.
This... She always thought that Shen Chen was very serious. Even though Shen Chen had touched her several times before, it was only holding hands and touching her head. How could there be such a time
She felt like a cooked shrimp, and she didn't even know where to put her hands. It took her a long time to find her reason. She pushed Shen Chen hard, feeling angry, embarrassed, and shy: "It's getting late. My grandmother must be waiting for me, and my father..."
Shen Chen, however, had already packed up calmly. Seeing her like this, he knew that she was extremely embarrassed and could no longer do anything beyond the rules, so he hurriedly comforted her: "I'll go with you. It just so happens that I also have something to say to the prince and the old lady..." At the same time, he reached out to pull Wei An's hand. Although he was shaken off several times, he still persevered and reached out to pull it again. After repeating this several times, Wei An was too lazy to fight with him anymore, so he let him go. He smiled slightly: "I know I went too far... but I have a beauty in my arms, and I'm not Liu Xiahui. How can I remain calm all the time... I know that if you leave, you will definitely think that we haven't gotten married yet, and that I treat you like this, does that mean I don't care about you and don't respect you... So I didn't dare to let you run away like this, for fear that you would have wild thoughts... "
He really said all the good things he could say. Wei An couldn't help but spit in his heart, but his anger was slightly reduced. He snorted softly, lowered his head and looked at his skirt, ignoring him. (To be continued)
