RVW-45.1

Ah Nan mechanically emptied her bladder, mechanically used the cold water in the copper basin to wash her hands, then mechanically used the screen to support herself to go out. Her body was still weak due to the illness, even walking proved to be quite difficult for her, so she had no choice but to rely on a certain Wang ye’s support—— Actually, Ah Nan would rather the maids and Momos do these kind of work, at least it wouldn’t make her numb and didn’t know what to do¹Refers to Ah Nan not knowing how to confront him, like a child caught having been naughty by their parents.

When she stepped out of the screen, she saw him waiting outside, still with a solemn expression. But Ah Nan couldn’t help but recall the sounds of her peeing just now, she really didn’t know what kind of expression she had to put on for a while.

Ah Nan just felt that her whole body had gone red, not from anger but shame, the kind of shame where she wished for the ground to split open and bury her: Heavens and earth ah, could there be anything more embarrassing than this ah? How many embarrassing things had she done when she was still half-awake then?

Chu Baning walked over as if nothing happened. He pulled Ah Nan’s hand over and found that her fingers were cold and wet, with droplets of water still on her fingertips. When he bowed his head slightly, a few strands of his hair slid onto his chest, creating an indescribable allure. Ah Nan was then reminded of a classic line: Running My Hand Through Your Black Hair²穿过你的黑发我的手 is a song by Luo Dayou or Law Tai-yau (罗大佑), a Taiwanese singer…… She used to think that men with long hair seemed effeminate, and although she has gotten used to this era’s mean growing their hair out, she usually saw them tying their hair up. But now, when she looked at his long loose hair, she still felt he was good looking.

Ah Nan blanked out, warmth slowly surged in her heart.

She once heard that when a man is willing to carefully wipe one’s wet fingertips, that means he had already put them in his heart.

However, Ah Nan’s touched feeling quickly turned into agitation.

Because a certain Wang ye, after helping her wipe her hands dry, impolitely carried her by the waist back to the room, then put her dizzy self on the bed, flipped her body, and then slapped her butt a few times. With biting cold tone, he said, “Hmph! You are still ill now, you owe me first!”³Refers to Ah Nan still being sick so he can’t deal with her now, so Ah Nan “owe” him first

“…….”

And Ah Nan couldn’t help but blanked out completely. In her two lifetimes, from the moment she ever had memories, she had always been a good child. She had never been spanked by her elders. But tonight, she was actually being spanked like a child by her own husband……. Ah Nan was so agitated, thinking that she was punished unjustly. She deeply reflected on her own stirred up emotions just now and felt that, he really wasn’t considerate at all! He would go as far as to spank her when she was sick! Truly humiliating her self-esteem!!!

Chu Baning ignored the lifeless-looking Ah Nan. He bundled her in blanket and then walked outside. Faint murmurs could be heard from the outside, not long after, Chu Baning came back with an unfamiliar maid following behind him. The maid respectfully came over, on her hands was a tray with a bowl of congee.

Chu Baning took the tray over and waved his hand, letting the maid retreat.

The maid was obviously stunned, but she also didn’t dare to say anything. She meekly bowed and then retreated, closing the door as she went.

Ah Nan resisted her urge to rub her spanked butt and simply sat on the bed as she stared blankly at Chu Baning. Chu Baning’s expression was solemn, he sat in front of the bed, one hand holding a bowl and the other a spoon, then scooped a spoonful of congee and brought it to Ah Nan.

Ah Nan hesitated for a while. She felt like her stomach was already full of liquid, she vaguely remembered that she was fed medicine a lot during the time she was lethargic. She was now completely full, not hungry the slightest bit. Of course she still remembered clearly that the one who was crudely fed her medicine was a very specific Wang ye, he directly pinched her chin and poured the excruciatingly bitter medicine into her mouth.

As Ah Nan thought about that and found herself hesitating, cold air quickly poured in, so she quickly opened her mouth and drank the congee.

The bone congee’s rice grains were soft, mushy, and fragrant, the bones had also been cooked slowly until the marrow broth came out. The smell was light, a mixture of fragrant rice and meaty smell, making one’s appetite roused. The texture was also really good. The congee was just at the right temperature, clearly it had been cooked slowly when she was still unconscious, and then it was kept warm on the stove.

However, although it’s rare for Wang ye to condescend his noble self to feed her congee, Ah Nan felt not the slightest bit of flattery——When one wasn’t hungry and was in the presence of a man with such cold and scrutinizing gaze quietly staring at you, no one would wonder if one feel uncomfortable. She really had a hard time swallowing her food.

However, Ah Nan had no doubt that her Wang ye was angry, but she didn’t have the guts to stroke the tiger’s whiskers. So she could only silently shed tears inside, thinking: TAT Wang ye, so what have I done wrong ah, what kind of cruel punishment are you going to use on me? I was only doing what the Empress Dowager had decreed, I’m completely innocent ah!

A bowl of congee was soon finished, Chu Baning called for the maid to take the bowl away. The maid then also brought hot water for Ah Nan to wash her face and rinse her mouth, then presented Ah Nan with a bowl of medicine.

Ah Nan: TAT I really can’t drink anything anymore……

“You are still slightly feverish, drink this medicine.” Chu Baning said as such as he caressed Ah Nan’s bandaged forehead.

Ah Nan glanced at her Wang ye’s solemn expression that could frighten people, and then valiantly drank the medicine.

After she finished drinking all of the excruciatingly bitter medicine, Chu Baning brought honey-preserved fruits to Ah Nan’s mouth.

Ah Nan’s expression perfectly reflected her joy.Wang ye treats her really well after all, so she will forgive him for spanking her just now! Wang ye might have been too carried away then to do that, forget it forget it! Forget her humiliation of being spanked at such an old age!

As the night went on later, Ah Nan quickly got drowsy and yawned.

The medicine has some sedative ingredients mixed in it, added with her just-starting-to-recover body, her mind was actually still dizzy. So without even accounting that Chu Baning has yet to rest, Ah Nan let out a comfortable sigh as she lay on the bed, her mind felt even a bit better than before.

Chu Baning took off his coat and then went straight to bed. He took Ah Nan into his arms, then caressed Ah Nan’s chin and sized her up ambiguously and flirtatiously, then he spoke, “Too thin, not huggable!”

Ah Nan felt a bit chaotic: Wang ye, is that all you have to say after taking advantage of me?

Of course this kind of teasing wasn’t enough, Wang ye straightforwardly took action into his hands.

Chu Baning lifted Ah Nan’s face and then lowered his, slowly rubbing on Ah Nan’s face and nose. His black hair slid onto her cheeks, tickling her a little bit. After Chu Baning had rubbed enough, he moved his warm lips to her slightly chapped ones, kissing her slightly opened mouth due to her surprise. They shared a deep, dominating and enticing kiss, the tip of their tongues intertwining, intimacy permeated the air. Ah Nan quickly ran out of air, she was simply no match to Chu Baning with her clogged up nose due to her cold, she patted him weakly in struggle.

However, Chu Baning directly restrained her hands, flipped and pressed her under his body, and then proceeded to use one of his hands to push her head in to deepen the kiss even more. His other hand that bound her hands had already groped into her clothes obscenely and kneaded the two soft lumps on her chest, and then pinched her soft cherries one by one…..

“Wang-, Wang ye. I-, I am still sick, you might get infected from me….”

Ah Nan stuttered,  wanting this Wang ye  to stop such savagery. She was still sick ah, she couldn’t withstand such intense exercise.

Of course Chu Baning understood her current situation, so he only hugged his delicate and tender little wife’s body. Her clothes stuck tightly onto her body, showing her curves, and indeed, it almost made the man who had abstained for a month to cross the line. His reactions were inevitable. But he also planned to punish her act-first-report-later moves——Obviously she looks like a really obedient and cute little wife, yet she actually dared to came here, rushing to Tongcheng and endured hardships and freezing weather. She didn’t even inform him first through letter, which led to him finding out on the road, not even having prior preparations when encountering the BeiYue people. She even came back to him all sick and injured, moreover she got thinner and lost her chubs, hugging her was no longer as soft and squishy as before. At that time, he was caught off guard and scared out of his mind when he heard Ru Cui’s shout. Not to mention that she directly fell unconscious then, his mind had directly gone blank for a period of time, indescribable emotions had nearly made him go berserk.

Chu Baning has lived for so long yet he had never once almost lost control like today. 

But the girl in his arms, who made him lose control, looked at him with her round innocent eyes, flaming the fire in his heart even bigger.

“Wang ye… You will really get infected…” Ah Nan called out in sobs, her voice soft and sticky, subconsciously carrying a hint of seduction.

Chu Baning’s eyes were a bit dark, but his voice was flat and dull, “Ben Wang’s body is strong, no need to worry that I would get infected.”

After he said that, Chu Baning fondled and kneaded onto her upturned body, seducing her incessantly, but her still weak body couldn’t stand such intense activities all at once. Ah Nan, seeing that he was determined to bully her, decisively chose to close her eyes, pretending to pass out.

But Ah Nan was really a person without the knacks for it. How could she be able to feign unconscious in front of the Wang ye  who had grown up in the palace and was used to all kinds of crafty plots and schemes? However, Chu Baning actually didn’t want to do anything to her. He merely held her tightly in her arms and pressed his hard lower body between her legs, rubbing on it slowly.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but Ah Nan, seeing that he was just rubbing and didn’t do anything further, relaxed and fell asleep peacefully.

After quite some time, Chu Baning kissed her sweaty face and then hugged her to sleep.
