Chapter 1433 – Continuing Construction (Seven)
“Every moment is priceless; how many moments have you wasted?”
Jiang Pengji’s hand glided along his neatly arranged collar, the touch surprisingly delicate and warm.
Wei Ci’s heart skipped a beat, feeling the temperature of her skin skyrocket, goosebumps rising.
“Zixiao’s reaction—could it be that he doesn’t like me?” Her words, seemingly accusing, were laced with a teasing smile that made Wei Ci wish he could just disappear into the ground. Jiang Pengji’s lips brushed against his neck, making him want to jump up.
“Lord, I—”
Wei Ci stammered, his mind suddenly flooded with a memory from a past life.
Although the attitudes of the Emperor and the Lord were quite different, the irresistible stance was exactly the same!
Tonight, will you submit or not?
Subject…
I dare not resist!
Jiang Pengji leaned her cheek against his shoulder, playfully taunting, “When it comes to matters between men and women, I may lack experience, but I certainly know a thing or two; I’ve picked up some insights. Zixiao, you had children in your past life, how could you possibly be an inexperienced lad? With such a display, could it be… that you lack experience?”
Wei Ci’s face turned red, not from shyness but simply because he felt unable to assert himself in front of his Lord.
“Lord, please don’t tease me,” he said, his embarrassed face resembling a boiled shrimp, his next words barely a whisper, almost inaudible, but Jin Pengji’s keen ears caught them, “Could you perhaps spare some mercy for me? It’s rather unpleasant to take a cold bath on New Year’s Eve.”
Jiang Pengji laughed, “If it’s unpleasant, then why not just go with the flow?”
Wei Ci cleared his throat, mustering an enormous amount of self-control as he prepared to stand.
In his previous life, he wouldn’t have dared to do such a thing.
In a way, was this not a case of being spoiled by affection?
Jiang Pengji wouldn’t let him get away with it, wrapping her arms around his neck and flipping over, pinning him down, half her body resting on him.
He couldn’t break free, so he simply lay there like a dried fish.
“Zixiao.” She leaned down to whisper in his ear, “I’ve heard that in the marital chamber, one can use sheep intestines and fish bladders as contraceptives, though they are neither safe nor clean. I’m not just putting your interests first; I specifically sourced a replacement for you. This alternative is far superior to sheep intestines and fish bladders, safe and effective.”
Wei Ci was completely dumbfounded, suddenly realizing what the square object in his hand was.
It felt like it was burning his palm as he tried to drop it, but Jiang Pengji was quicker and locked his fingers in place.
“Now then, you have no reason to object, right?” Jiang Pengji said triumphantly.
As Wei Ci felt both shy and embarrassed, his breathing grew labored, his voice a little hoarse as he retorted, “What is the Lord planning to do?”
Jiang Pengji replied, “Yin and Yang in harmony, just go with the flow.”
Wei Ci hesitated, “I… I dare not offend the Lord’s noble self, nor would I dare overstep.”
Now it was Jiang Pengji who was dumbfounded; she burst into laughter, “So Zixiao prefers the lower position?”
Upon hearing that, Wei Ci’s jade-like face turned two shades paler, yet his breathing grew even heavier.
It wasn’t that he liked the lower position; he simply feared offending someone in a higher position.
To Jiang Pengji, both as his Lord and the Emperor, he wouldn’t dare to overstep, even in private.
After a moment, Wei Ci meekly asked her in a voice no louder than a mosquito’s buzz, “How… do you use that object?”
Jiang Pengji couldn’t hold back any longer, laughing as she easily scooped Wei Ci up and carried him into the inner room.
“Zixiao, did you know? I can’t get enough of your awkwardness; it makes me want to devour you whole.”
Wei Ci: “……”
As a man, this shouldn’t be wrong, right?
It felt like nothing had changed from his past life; the only difference was, in this life, he at least got to share a bed instead of being pinned to the floor.
“Zixiao, what are you still thinking about at this time?”
Jiang Pengji hurriedly loosened his collar, her right hand sliding to his waist, and clumsily found the waist tie, pulling it gently to loosen.
Wei Ci blinked and suddenly said, “If the Lord were a man, this scene… seems a bit more reasonable.”
Jiang Pengji laughed in agreement, “Regardless of gender, you’ll never gain the upper hand.”
With that, she threw the waist tie out of the bed, and without it binding them, their clothes were far easier to remove.
Under the flickering candlelight, one garment after another was tossed away, and just as Wei Ci was about to be stripped bare, Jiang Pengji also found her own clothes were missing two pieces. The front of her undershirt slipped open, revealing a pale yellow lotus flower pouch.
Jiang Pengji: “……”
Wei Ci: “……”
He tried to retract his hand quietly, only to be caught halfway.
“Good job, Wei Zixiao! Didn’t we agree not to offend or overstep?”
Wei Ci replied, “Though we are ruler and subject, I dare not overstep, but in the bedroom, men and women each have their roles; I’m merely fulfilling my duty… that’s all…”
With that, Jiang Pengji flipped the blanket over, covering the two of them.
Without the candlelight, the darkness deepened, heightening all their other senses.
Their breaths intertwined, the air temperature rising rapidly.
As Jiang Pengji fumbled to remove Wei Ci’s hairpin and jade hairpin, letting his long hair flow like a waterfall, she kissed her way from his brow to his eyes, finally landing on his lips. The originally gentle ambiance turned intensely passionate as their lips met. Wei Ci wasn’t just sitting still; he wrapped his arms around her neck and shoulders, his fingers fiddling with the strings of her pouch, pulling to untie it.
Jiang Pengji playfully bit his lower lip, teasing, “A gentleman, huh?”
Wei Ci replied helplessly, “I’m a man, but being a man doesn’t equate to being a gentleman. Besides, how can one contain themselves when their beloved is in their arms?”
To expect him to measure up to Liu Xia Hui now was truly unfair.
If only the Lord would calm down a bit, he might have held back.
With sparks flying around, he truly found it unbearable.
“I simply adore the way you feign indifference,” Jiang Pengji chuckled, “Now that we’re being honest, you seem even more pitiful and lovable.”
As two people who were genuinely in love, a small tease ignited a fiery passion; not to mention, they were already being frank with each other.
Jiang Pengji lingered playfully around his neck, while Wei Ci struggled to maintain clarity.
“My Lord… it won’t look good if someone sees the marks tomorrow…”
Jiang Pengji nipped at his collarbone lightly, just enough to provoke a sharp intake of breath from Wei Ci.
“Who says you’ll be seeing anyone tomorrow?”
Wei Ci: “……”
“We have plenty of time.” Jiang Pengji smiled, “Do you think I granted this New Year’s holiday to you so easily?”
Wei Ci: “……”
Jiang Pengji’s hand slid down to his waist; that part of his skin was so sensitive he had never known a person’s body temperature could be this perilous.
It seemed that she was burning him with the warmth of her palm; he shivered all over, his eyes turning misty.
“Does it hurt, my Lord?”
Both of them stiffened for a moment.
Jiang Pengji cupped his face with one hand and sealed his lips with a kiss.
“Finally getting the person I’ve been longing for.” Once his breathing lost its rhythm, she smiled in satisfaction, “How can that be considered hurting? This is excitement.”
