Chapter 6 - The Wedding Night (1/2)

After drinking the nuptial wine, they stared at each other intensely, not knowing what to do. It was supposed to be their wedding night, but they had a promise to keep. Yao Ying cleared his throat, trying to compose his thought. Yao Ling just looked down shyly.

What should they do? Both lost in their own thought. They didn't dare to look at the other; both were too shy to do so. The atmosphere became really weird in a heartbeat.

Yao Ying remembered his promise not to touch her for six months. He didn't know what he felt about her at the moment, but still… he's a man. A man with needs. To say he didn't have any dėsɨrė then that would be a lie. Truthfully, today has been really tiring. They did all their preparations on their own and it consumed a lot of their energies. After finishing the whole ceremony, the tiredness started to get to him.

He wanted to sleep, but he didn't know how to express his opinion. If he asked her to go to bed with him, would she think he wanted to eat her? She would probably misunderstand him, so he decided against it and stayed silent.

Yao Ling indeed said that she didn't want to consummate their marriage first, but the last conversation about it indeed made her angry. 'Did he say I am just a kid?! Hmpf!' Yao Ling thought to herself. That sentence gave a blow to her confidence. Although she just had her hairpin ceremony, she knew that the young male villagers thought that she was beautiful. How dared Yao Ying said that she was just a kid in his eyes?

She made up her mind, teasing him a little would be fine, right? She was busy thinking about her plot, not realizing Yao Ying sat like a block of wood and glancing at her once in a while.

He wondered what's inside her head at the moment. Her expressions kept changing. First, furrowing her eyebrows, then she smiled evilly. After that, she shook her head, then nodded her head. He was helplessly looking at her. He knew when she was like this, it meant she was planning something out.

An incense stick of time felt like a long time for them because of the dreary silence. Yao Ying couldn't stand it anymore, so he cleared his throat to break the silence. ”Ling-er, what are you thinking about?”

Yao Ling jumped in surprise because of the sudden question, fortunately, her plan had been formed in her mind. She smiled shyly and shook her head, ”Nothing.” How could she tell him that she'd planned to tease him?

After a few moments, she spoke again. ”I want to take off my phoenix coronet and tidy up myself for a bit. Do you want me to help you take off your robe?” Wasn't that what she was supposed to do as a wife? Her mother didn't have the chance to tell her what to do after marriage, so she only knew bits and pieces.

”No need. Just do what you want to do.” Yao Ying could see how tired Yao Ling was and he didn't have the heart to let her serve him.

Yao Ling nodded and stood up. She went to a small table near the bed and sat there. She slowly took off the phoenix coronet and opened her hair knot. She let her hair slowly falling down and then combed it. Yao Ying saw that from behind and somehow it made him gulp. She looked so delicate and womanly. For the first time, he saw her as a real woman. He knew she's beautiful and all that, but he previously only saw her as a little sister. Now… she becomes his wife. It changed his opinion a little bit.

Yao Ling didn't know such a simple movement from her could affect him that much. Actually, this wasn't even a part of her plan. She truly felt tired and the coronet made her neck feel like it was going to break. She took a long time combing her hair, feeling indecisive. Should she really do her plan? After thinking about what she would do next, she blushed in embarrassment.

Yao Ying looked at her in puzzlement. Did a woman always need a lot of time to comb their hair? He felt so tired and wanted to go to bed, but he didn't have the heart to sleep first on their wedding night. They… should sleep together, right? He decided to call Yao Ling, ”Ling-er, are you… finished?”

”En… I'm finished.”

Yao Ling turned around and let her back facing Yao Ying. She stood up and slowly opened her outer robe, letting it slide down to the ground. Then she bravely opened her wedding dress. She tried to hide her embarrassment, but under the soft candlelight, her blushing face looked so endearing.

Yao Ying… could only gulp a second time tonight. He couldn't remove his gaze from his enchanting wife. His untouchable wife. It was going to be a very long night for him. Damn!

Yao Ling didn't stop there. She only left her soft pink inner garment. It was thin, but not transparent. However, the material was clinging on her body and accentuating Yao Ling's body shape. Yao Ying could say that it was very... very... seductive, but still in an appropriate way.

For Yao Ying… it was frustrating. What a sweet torture!

When Yao Ling turned her body around – facing him, he could feel his blood boiling. For the first time, he felt a dėsɨrė toward Yao Ling. How could he not? She looked absolutely beautiful and ravishing.
