Chapter 5.2 (2/2)

‘Ninth prince, that’s a window!’ a wedding guest warned.

Yan Shi Ning almost laughed loudly. Of course mouthy boy would climb through a window. She remembered that year he drank many wine jars yet he was still sober. What not a good wine drinker? What a liar!

A sober Pei Jin entered the chamber, closed the door and rushed to the bed. ‘Wife, did you wait long?’

Pei Jin pulled off the veil. Under the lit red candles, he stared at the soft glow of Yan Shi Ning’s beautiful face.

‘Big brother, what are you looking at?’ Yan Shi Ning asked impatiently.

Pei Jin raised his hand and touched Yan Shi Ning’s lips.

Yan Shi Ning’s body stiffened at the warm touch of Pei Jin’s fingers on her lips. She looked at his intense gaze and her heart pounded.

Suddenly Pei Jin laughed. ‘Look at how nervous you are. I was looking at what was on your lips.’

Yan Shi Ning looked at Pei Jin’s fingers, it was the skin of a jujube. Heavens! She received a deadly scare.

‘Someone was thinking too much before,’ Pei Jin teased. He sat on the bed and took off his shoes. ‘It’s alright to think too much, sooner or later it will happen. Wife, come here and we can perform the main event together.’

‘What main event?’ Yan Shi Ning asked in a panicked tone.

‘What did you say?’ Pei Jin teased and took off his outer robe.

The words ‘wedding night’ echoed in Yan Shi Ning’s head.

Pei Jin saw the anxiety on Yan Shi Ning’s face and he laughed loudly. ‘What other main event is there? Of course bathing then sleeping.’

A while later the wedding guests that were eavesdropping outside the bridal chamber were smiling slyly.

‘Big brother, be gentle!’ Yan Shi Ning cried out.

‘Is this spot more comfortable?’ Pei Jin asked.

‘It hurts!’ Yan Shi Ning said.
