Chapter 567: Too Much ‘Nourishment’ 2 (1/2)

A corner of He Sanlang’s mouth twitched. He shot a look at his oblivious little woman and didn’t deign to reply her question immediately. He waved one hand at the servants in the room in dismissal.

Seeing the mood between the couple, Senior Servant Zhong understood what was going on. She bobbed towards He Changdi and Chu Lian before leading the two maidservants in the room away. She even considerately dismissed the maidservant who was supposed to be on the night shift.

For some reason, now that only she and He Changdi were left in the room, Chu Lian felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. There was a certain tension in the air. Her throat was starting to become a little dry, so she lifted up the teacup in front of her to sip at some warm water.

“It’s still early, why did you chase them all out? Do you have a lot of documents to go through? Don’t you have to work on some every night? Aren’t you going tonight?”

Another twitch developed in He Sanlang’s forehead. His wife was too good at ruining the mood.

If not for fear of losing control, would he have gone to his study every night to clear his mind?

Thinking of those painful days, He Changdi felt a pang of sympathy for himself.

He dropped all pretenses of courtesy with Chu Lian and quickly walked up to her. He bent down and immediately had her entire body wrapped up in his arms. Without further ado, he made large strides towards their bed.

Realisation finally dawned upon Chu Lian in an instant. Her face flushed tomato red and she thought of struggling. However, her body felt like it was on fire. There was a burning desire for He Changdi’s affections in her heart…

He Changdi drew close to her reddened ear and bit onto her plump earlobe. His low voice had a hint of devilish temptation to it as he whispered, “I’m not going. I’ll be keeping you company all night.”

Chu Lian’s body had become extremely sensitive after drinking the nourishing tonic for so many days. She couldn’t bear with his wanton teasing.

As if a switch had suddenly been flipped, her body was starting to change.

By the time He Changdi set her down gently on their bed, her mind had already turned foggy and her consciousness was fluctuating between the boundary of reason and desire.
