Chapter 100: Domineering, one of his people

After recovering her wits, Han Yunxi withdrew her foot beneath her skirt like someone shocked by electricity. When she looked at Long Feiye’s eyes again, her face turned bright red! This fellow wouldn’t think she was some sort of loose, wanton woman, right? Or that she was trying to seduce him on purpose?

Of all things!

She’d lost face utterly!

“Your Highness, chenqie can apply the medicine herself. Why don’t you go out first?” Han Yunxi managed to open her mouth with difficulty.

But Long Feiye didn’t leave. Instead, he pulled over a chair and sat before her before personally opening the liniment oil.

Is he going to apply medicine for her?

Thinking back to his expression just then, Han Yunxi felt uneasy and forced a smile. “Your Highness, I…can do it myself.”

“Esteemed wangfei’s already taken off shoe and sock, so your lordship naturally must work in her service,” Long Feiye’s cold voice held a trace of mocking.

No matter how she listened, Han Yunxi felt something off about the tone. Besides, she didn’t believe that this guy would really be so considerate to personally apply her medicine. Suppose he wasn’t careful and used too much strength, wouldn’t it hurt her to death?

“Your Highness, although we’re husband and wife, still…still…” Han Yunxi dawdled before adding, “Your Highness, men and women shouldn’t be so intimate with each other, you should go out first.”

A cold smile crept onto Long Feiye’s lips as his domineering gaze focused on her thoughtfully. “Qin Wangfei, are you sure you want to debate matters of indecorum with your lordship?”

Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi felt a rush of doubt, but still replied with reason on her side. “Your Highness Duke of Qin, we’re together in name but not in actuality. I’m just a wangfei with a title, so why can’t I discuss matters of indecorum with you? Please be more serious!”

But Long Feiye retorted, “Han Yunxi, since when has your lordship said you were only a wangfei in name? After you crossed over the threshold of my front gates, you became one of I, Long Feiye’s, people.” So speaking, he swept a gaze over her discarded shoe and warned, “Since you’re a married woman now, please remember to maintain your wifely virtues!”

“You!” Han Yunxi was depressed. This guy was obviously shaming her for not following the wifely virtues!

It was just taking off her shoe, since when had she thought about it so deeply?! He was the one who thought too much and turned things crooked, all right?! Anger built atop guilt, but to her abomination, Han Yunxi found that she couldn’t refute him. Seeing Long Feiye’s icy gaze, Han Yunxi decided to risk everything regardless and stuck out her foot directly before Long Feiye. It was just shy of kicking him in the face.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Your Highness!” she said word by word with gritted teeth.

Long Feiye sat unmoving with his deep, cold eyes. He raised a hand, grabbed Han Yunxi’s tiny foot, and abruptly pulled it down!

‘Ah!’ Han Yunxi cried out in pain in her heart. This fellow had used force directly on the red and swollen part of her ankle. How could it not hurt? But she remained stubborn, refusing to even scrunch her eyebrows. She’d gone through far more horrific pain than this, so what did this pain count for?

Long Feiye glanced at her with a dark face before using his other hand to support her foot and pinch the injured ankle again.

‘You fricking bastard!’

Han Yunxi cursed him thoroughly in her heart, silently gritting her teeth without making a sound. Long Feiye’s mouth was set as he took some liniment oil and applied it to Han Yunxi’s injury. This cooling ointment immediately reduced the fiery swelling of Han Yunxi’s injury, allowing her to unconsciously release a breath of relief. But just as she started to relax, Long Feiye’s fingers started reaching over to apply the cream.

Dab, and, smear!

What a dab and smear! A man’s hands were naturally more forceful; he intentionally applied more strength as he spread the liniment up and down along her injury.

Pain!

Every instance was filled with pain. Thanks to his increased pressure, the cooling effects of the medicine quickly vanished as he spread it, to be replaced with a burning sensation. It wasn’t just the skin, but her bones that felt like they were on fire! This feeling was as if someone was cutting open badly mangled flesh from her injury! Completely intolerable!

Only a short while had passed before Han Yunxi’s back became damp with sweat. Droplets appeared by her temples, but she still gritted her teeth and kept her head lowered, eyes fixated on her ankle. She didn’t move an inch, but allowed Long Feiye to torment her as he willed.

She wouldn’t die, so let it hurt all it liked!

Long Feiye thought she’d be pleading for mercy, but she was still silent long afterwards, when his hand starting aching. He took a closer look and discovered Han Yunxi with her head bowed, head streaked with sweat. He mused, this woman should be reaching her limit and ready to surrender, right?
