Chapter 88: A Soft Trap of Warm Arms and Morning Light

Early the next morning, Fan Chuan woke up feeling refreshed.

Normally, at this time, she would be getting up to practice with her saber.

But now, she couldn’t bear to get up.

Holding a warm, soft, fragrant jade in her arms, the Marshal’s will, harder than refined iron, completely crumbled.

She couldn’t get out of bed at all.

There was still a delicate sensation in her hand.

But she didn’t dare be too presumptuous.

She had already been presumptuous enough last night.

She didn’t know if her wife would be angry with her.

The corners of her mouth curved as her gaze fell on Shen Lingwei’s lips.

She had tasted the flavor here last night.

It seemed more delicious than any delicacy.

Fan Chuan never knew she could stare at a person for this long.

So long that even when the sun was high in the sky, she still felt unsatisfied.

Then, Shen Lingwei in her arms finally stirred.

She had been played with until the middle of the night before falling asleep from exhaustion.

Now, her waist and abdomen were still a bit sore.

Shen Lingwei groggily opened her eyes and immediately saw Fan Chuan staring at her.

Shen Lingwei’s face suddenly flushed.

She buried her face in Fan Chuan’s neck and stammered a reminder.

“In… in the daytime, you cannot do that.”

Fan Chuan gently stroked her back and laughed.

“I didn’t say I was going to do anything.

What’s the matter?

Does my lady want to?”

Shen Lingwei bit Fan Chuan’s shoulder.

There was already a bite mark there from last night that hadn’t faded yet.

Who told Fan Chuan to tease her like that last night?

She didn’t want to make a sound, so she could only bite Fan Chuan to bear it.

Fan Chuan naturally felt the force of the bite on her shoulder.

But her wife couldn’t bear to use any real strength; it was like a kitten licking her wound.

Still, Fan Chuan graciously begged for mercy.

“Alright, I’ll shut up.

Is that better?”

Seeing Shen Lingwei didn’t respond, Fan Chuan continued, “Do you want to bathe?

You fell asleep last night.

I actually wiped you down thoroughly.

If you’re still uncomfortable, why not have them prepare water and wash again?”

Shen Lingwei didn’t want to talk to Fan Chuan at all right now.

Normally, she was so proper.

Why was she so forward when it came to that kind of thing?

Seeing Shen Lingwei wouldn’t talk to her, the corners of Fan Chuan’s mouth lifted.

Her hand, resting on Shen Lingwei’s lower back, slid down.

“Or does my lady want me to help you wash?”

“No, I don’t!

You go wash in the guest room yourself.”

Shen Lingwei’s muffled voice came from Fan Chuan’s chest.

Fan Chuan coaxed her patiently.

“Alright.

Then do you want me to help you dress, or should I call Xiao Tao in to attend to you?”

Having eaten her fill of meat last night, a certain wolf’s conscience was fortunately pricked.

She asked considerately.

Shen Lingwei sniffled, then said softly, “Call Xiao Tao.”

She was afraid that while Fan Chuan helped her dress, she would start doing other things.

She had learned her lesson last night.

No matter how polite a Qiankun was normally, once in bed, they were full of lies.

She would never trust her again.

“Alright.

Then I’ll get up and call for someone.”

As she spoke, Fan Chuan kissed Shen Lingwei’s earlobe again.

In truth, she really didn’t want to get up either.

Just holding her wife like this was very comfortable.

She didn’t want to get out of bed at all.

But afraid of angering Shen Lingwei, Fan Chuan still got up.

Her clothes from last night were strewn everywhere.

Fan Chuan dressed as she picked them up.

When she was almost dressed, she opened the bedroom door.

Xiao Tao had been worried for a long time.

At the Prime Minister’s residence, her young lady always got up early.

She rarely slept this late.

Fan Chuan saw Xiao Tao was there and said, “Go and attend to her bath.

You all go boil hot water.

My wife and I need to bathe.

Bring half the water to the bedroom and half to the guest room next door.”

“Yes.”

The several maidservants acknowledged and went about their tasks.

Fan Chuan went to the guest room to wait for her bath.

Xiao Tao, meanwhile, entered the bedroom.

She felt something was off in the bedroom today.

But what was off, Xiao Tao couldn’t say.

Shen Lingwei had already sat up by now.

Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed.

Her clothes from last night had been tossed everywhere by Fan Chuan.

Fan Chuan had just picked them up and put them on the rack.

She herself wasn’t wearing anything, so she couldn’t reach the rack.

Now that Xiao Tao had arrived, Shen Lingwei instructed with reddened earlobes.

“Xiao Tao, bring me my clothes.”

“Oh.”

Xiao Tao didn’t think anything was wrong at first.

But when she reached the rack, she felt something was off.

Her young lady always slept in her middle garments, not to mention her bellyband and undergarments.

Why were they all hanging on the rack now?

“No, young lady, why are your undergarments also on the rack?”

After asking, Xiao Tao seemed to understand.

A look of shock appeared on her face.

“Young lady, did you and the Marshal consummate your marriage?”

Shen Lingwei used the blanket to cover her chest.

There were many red marks on her body from Fan Chuan’s bites.

She never knew that the normally refined Marshal could act like a hungry wolf in bed, biting her all over.

Just thinking about last night’s events made Shen Lingwei’s cheeks flush.

“Oh, don’t ask so many questions.

Just bring it over.”

“Oh.”

Xiao Tao carefully lifted a crack in the bed curtain and handed the clothes inside.

She took a glance and saw that the gland opening on her young lady’s neck was still swollen.

She couldn’t help but gasp.

The Marshal was really something.

Had she hurt her young lady?

She naturally didn’t dare ask, just stood there waiting for her young lady’s instructions.

Rustling sounds came from within the bed.

Shen Lingwei dressed as she examined her body.

The more she thought about it, the redder her face became.

Last night, there wasn’t a single part of this body that Fan Chuan hadn’t touched.

Just thinking about it was mortifying!

Shen Lingwei sat on the bed resting for a good while before she mustered the courage to lift the bed curtain.

Her ears red, she instructed, “Have someone come in and change the bedding.”

Xiao Tao naturally guessed why, quickly went out to call people in to clean up.

Soon, the hot water was ready.

Shen Lingwei finally lay down in the tub, soaking and easing the discomfort in her body.

“Young lady, let me come in and massage your back.

It might help you feel better.”

Xiao Tao was about to enter, but Shen Lingwei stopped her.

“No need.

Just wait outside.

If Fan Chuan comes in, don’t let her come over here.”

Shen Lingwei’s face was flushed.

Her body was covered in hickeys.

How could she let Xiao Tao see?

She would die of shame!

“Yes, young lady.”

Xiao Tao quickly replied.

She hadn’t expected that after one night, her young lady had become so assertive.

After giving her instructions, Shen Lingwei continued to soak comfortably.

From now on, she would never again believe anything Fan Chuan said in bed.

The mouth of a Qiankun was a liar’s mouth.

On Fan Chuan’s side, after bathing, she changed into clean clothes.

She was eager to see Shen Lingwei.

But when she returned to the bedroom, she saw Xiao Tao standing outside the screen.

Fan Chuan looked at her and said, “What are you standing here for?”

“Nothing.”

Xiao Tao glanced at Fan Chuan guiltily.

Her young lady had told her to stand here and keep an eye on Fan Chuan.

“Then go down and tell them to prepare breakfast.

Your young lady should be almost done.”

Fan Chuan said.

Xiao Tao didn’t move.

She lowered her head and murmured, “My young lady won’t let me leave.

She told me to stay right here.”

Fan Chuan was amused.

She understood Shen Lingwei’s meaning now.

So she was guarding against her.

Well, she had been a bit forward last night.

“Alright.

Then I’ll go tell them to prepare it.”

With that, Fan Chuan opened the door and went outside to instruct the maidservants to prepare the meal.

No, it should be lunch.

Fan Chuan sat at the round table, drinking tea.

Listening to the sound of dripping water from behind the screen, she knew Shen Lingwei was getting out of the tub.

Fan Chuan’s throat bobbed.

They had been so intimate just last night.

Why was she thinking about it again already?

She quickly shook her head.

Her wife was a pampered young lady, delicate and frail.

She couldn’t withstand such treatment.

After a while longer, Shen Lingwei dried her hair and came out from behind the screen.

Seeing Fan Chuan sitting there drinking tea, even Shen Lingwei, with her excellent upbringing, couldn’t help but glare at Fan Chuan.

Fan Chuan knew she was in the wrong and smiled at Shen Lingwei in response.

“My lady, please sit down and rest.

The food will be ready soon.”

Fan Chuan put a soft cushion on the round stool and helped Shen Lingwei sit down.

Shen Lingwei just glanced at her indifferently and poured herself a cup of tea.

Soon, the food was brought out.

The two ate quietly.

Fan Chuan’s gaze, however, kept drifting to Shen Lingwei.

She stared so much that Shen Lingwei became uncomfortable.

“Stop looking.”

Shen Lingwei didn’t even notice that her tone carried a hint of acting spoiled.

Fan Chuan quickly said softly, “Alright, I won’t look.

I’ll save it for tonight.”

If not for her excellent upbringing, Shen Lingwei would have gotten up and chased Fan Chuan around.

After lunch, Fan Chuan sidled up to Shen Lingwei and said softly, “You were too tired yesterday.

Do you want to sleep a little more?”

Shen Lingwei indeed still needed rest.

She nodded, then reminded him, “Just a simple nap.”

Fan Chuan smiled and shook her head.

“Of course, just a simple nap.”

Shen Lingwei looked at her skeptically.

Fan Chuan pulled her into her arms and coaxed, “I was wrong last night.

Today, I’ll let you rest more.

Don’t be angry.”

“Mm.”

Shen Lingwei leaned against her chest and acknowledged.

She couldn’t really say she was angry, just shy.

Seeing that Shen Lingwei seemed no longer angry, Fan Chuan led her back to bed to rest.

When they reached the bedside, Shen Lingwei saw the bells hanging from the four corners of the wooden bed.

She pressed her lips together and thought for a moment, still feeling Fan Chuan had a point.

The sound of the bells could still cover a little of her own voice.

So after thinking it over, she decided to just leave them hanging.

Fan Chuan naturally noticed.

But she just gently held Shen Lingwei’s waist, acting like a considerate, good wife, nothing like the hungry wolf she had been the night before.

“Rest.”

“Mm.”

Shen Lingwei got on the bed first.

She turned her back to Fan Chuan, her earlobes red.

The bedding on the bed was all new.

But just being back on it, she still felt the lingering scent of their lovemaking from last night permeating the space.

Just thinking about it made her whole body turn red.

Fan Chuan saw Shen Lingwei, her back to her, her red earlobes betraying that she was lost in thought.

She simply reached out with her long arm and pulled her into her arms.

Shen Lingwei pushed at her.

“It’s still daytime.

What are you doing?”

Fan Chuan said softly, “Nothing.

Just holding you to sleep.

Or does my lady want me to do something else?”

Hearing this, Shen Lingwei quickly buried herself in Fan Chuan’s chest, afraid that Fan Chuan might do something forward in broad daylight.

She even closed her eyes, looking like she was about to sleep.

The corners of Fan Chuan’s mouth lifted slightly.

Her wife was quite cute.

What she had said last night was true.

She had wanted to do that to Shen Lingwei for a long time.

But she had held back for a long time.

Fortunately, from now on, she wouldn’t have to hold back anymore.

The person before her was now truly her wife.
