Chapter 305: Flirting
Yu Wan really didn't expect the Jiang family to be so shameless.
When they were stopped from visiting, they resorted to hiring people to kidnap them.
Previously in Shijia Village, she was kidnapped by people sent by Wang Wanshu, and people gossiped about it for a long time.
The high-ranking officials and nobles in Shengjing valued their reputation the most, especially the gossipy women who loved to talk about every girl's affairs. If they knew that Su Qingchan had been kidnapped, they would drown her in their spittle.
Yu Wan took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in her heart.
She said to Yun Shang, "We absolutely cannot let the Jiang family's conspiracy succeed. Miss Su has already suffered enough; we must protect her."
Yun Shang gazed at her, his deep eyes seeing only her.
His gaze was tender and lingering as he softly asked, "What does my wife wish to do?"
Yu Wan's cheeks flushed rapidly under his intense and focused gaze.
The scalding heat spread from the base of her ears to her entire face.
She turned her head away in a fluster, avoiding his gaze. After a moment of thought, her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible shyness.
"Why don't we let Miss Su and her mother stay at our residence for the time being?"
"Next to the courtyard where Old Man Feng lives, there is a small courtyard. Although it is not as spacious as the Su family's, it has everything you need."
The Su family home was indeed spacious, but also desolate.
The family of four has been reduced to just two frail women.
Yun Shang nodded, "I will do as my wife says."
He left all family matters to his wife and mother to decide, and did not interfere.
Yun Shang kept calling her "wife," which made Yu Wan's heart race.
Yun Shang had called her "wife" before, but never this frequently. Had he taken the wrong medicine tonight?
Yun Shang did indeed think that he might have taken the wrong medicine.
After the room quieted down, he felt increasingly hot and restless, which was no longer due to the charcoal fire burning too brightly.
Yun Shang suppressed the strange feeling in her body and showed no sign of distress on her face.
But as time went by, the heat became increasingly unbearable, and even reason began to be gradually eroded.
His gaze was fixed on Yu Wan in front of him, and the image of her every smile and gesture involuntarily surfaced in his mind. The memories of their time together flooded back like a tide, making him feel restless and uneasy.
Yu Wan also felt her scalp tingle and her whole body unease from Yun Shang's stare.
His eyes now look like those of a hungry wolf that has been starving for half a month when it sees its prey.
He was fierce and passionate, making Yu Wan inexplicably feel that he wanted to devour her alive.
...Wait! What about the bowl of medicine that Madam Shen just brought out!
Could that tonic be for that purpose?!
Seeing the sweat beading on Yun Shang's forehead, Yu Wan became even more certain of her guess.
This isn't the first time Shen has done this; she must be here again to "nourish" Yun Shang and induce labor.
This body is not even nineteen years old yet, so Yu Wan naturally doesn't want to get pregnant and have children at this time, but that—cough cough, that's still okay.
Seeing that Yun Shang was in such pain but still sitting motionless in the chair, Yu Wan rolled her eyes and got up to walk around the desk to him. However, she had only taken two steps when she heard Yun Shang's deep and suppressed voice.
"Yu Niang, I still have some official business to attend to. You should go back to your room and rest."
Yu Wan: "..."
She looked up at Yun Shang and saw that he was clenching his fists tightly, his knuckles white from the force, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes. Even so, he was still holding on.
Yu Wan rolled her eyes inwardly with an air of elegance.
Even though he looked so uncomfortable, he told me to go back to my room.
As expected of the male lead, he's so patient.
"Yun Shang, are you sure?"
Yun Shang dared not look up at Yu Wan.
He feared that if he looked at Yu Wan even once more, he would be unable to control the surging emotions within him.
With her eyes lowered and her voice a little hoarse, she said, "Yes, you should go back and rest."
Yu Wan let out a long "Oh".
Footsteps could be heard inside the house.
Upon hearing this voice, Yun Shang's nerves relaxed almost imperceptibly. He slowly raised his head, wanting to drink a cup of cool tea to calm the heat in his body, but unexpectedly, he met a pair of clean and clear almond eyes.
A burning intensity surged in Yun Shang's eyes, "You..."
Why didn't she leave?
Yu Wan showed no sign of leaving.
Yun Shang had already figured it out. He gritted his teeth and spoke again, "Yu Niang, be good and go back to your room quickly."
His voice grew increasingly hoarse, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Yu Wan stared at him for a few seconds, then walked over to his side.
She reached out and touched Yun Shang's cheek with her fingertips, only to find it burning hot.
She blinked, looking completely innocent and bewildered, "Husband..."
Why is your body so hot?
Yu Wan knew perfectly well why Yun Shang's body was so hot.
She was, after all, a seasoned reader of countless romance novels, and this kind of plot was all too common in books.
Yun Shang must have overdone the nourishing soup from the Shen family.
Yun Shang shuddered at the touch, wanting to avoid Yu Wan's hand, yet unable to bear the coolness of Yu Wan's fingertips.
This coolness was like rain after a long drought, making him unable to resist wanting more.
He turned his head away, not daring to look Yu Wan in the eye. His profile was alluringly beautiful in the candlelight. "...It's nothing, it's just a bit hot in the room."
Yu Wan thought to herself, Yun Shang looks just like a seductive vixen.
She was a little itchy to try it. "Is it hot?"
She blinked her almond-shaped eyes, looking completely bewildered, and said, "I don't feel hot. Is it because you're wearing too much, husband? Shall I take one off for you?"
As she spoke, she gently reached her hand toward Yun Shang's collar.
Just as she was about to touch his clothes, Yun Shang grabbed her wrist.
The moment Yun Shang grabbed Yu Wan's wrist, both of them were startled.
Yu Wan looked up and met Yun Shang's eyes, which were full of struggle and forbearance. For a moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze.
Yun Shang felt that Yu Wan's touch was like a fire, instantly igniting his already surging desire.
Something was clamoring in my mind.
Yun Shang's Adam's apple bobbed, and the next second he released Yu Wan's hand as if it were on fire, his hoarse voice following, "No need..."
Before she could even utter the word "take off," Yu Wan plopped down on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck!
The girl's warm breath brushed against his ear, full of playfulness and boldness: "I can't bear to see my husband suffer so much, so perhaps..."
Yun Shang felt a jolt of electricity run down his spine. Yu Wan's words were like a fire, burning away the last shred of reason in his heart.
He looked at Yu Wan's face so close to his own, and his breathing became increasingly heavy.
All restraint and forbearance vanished at this moment.
His lips pressed heavily against Shang Yuwan's, filled with burning desire and deep affection.
Yu Wan hadn't expected Yun Shang to be in such a hurry.
His kiss was completely at odds with his aloof and indifferent persona.
The kiss was intense and lingering.
Yun Shang seemed to want to vent all the pent-up emotions he had been suppressing over the past few days.
Yu Wan originally only wanted to stir things up without taking responsibility, but she didn't expect to be so overwhelmed by Yun Shang's kiss that she completely forgot her original plan.
