Su Wan  finished  bathing  and went back  to her room after cleaning  the bath house , even  though  this era didn’t  have a soap . She was still feeling better after washing  herself with warm water  as for soap – she might give it a try later on , Since Su Wan  family  didn’t  come from a good background Su Wan’s  grandmother usually tried to minimize  their expenses by making things at home such as sewing clothes etc which also  included  home made soaps .  Though Su Wan  didn’t  try making home made soaps , she had a general  idea  about how  to make them  .

Su Wan  sat down  on her mattress and waited for Lin Jing to arrive  .

​​

Soon Lin Jing  too finished  his bath .  Clean and feeling fresh he pushed open the door of  Su Wan’s  room and entered .

Su Wan  saw that he was carrying two cups in hands while  he walked really carefully  making sure that the liquid in the cups didn’t slosh around . 

” ah Jing  what’s  that ?” she asked  standing up from her mattress, since they didn’t  have  any furniture  Lin Jing  couldn’t  place the cups on the table and with his careful  way of carrying  them it seemed that he didn’t  want to put in on the ground it . 

” Wan Wan..wine ” what Lin Jing wanted to say was that even though  we aren’t  going  to consummate our marriage  , I  still think of you as my wife . That  is why Wan Wan  let’s  share  this nupital wine and accept each other as husband  and wife . But Lin Jing who didn’t  know how to string these words without making them sound offensive or accusing  , ended up saying only three words  .

Su Wan  naturally understood  what he wanted  to say but still couldn’t  resist  the temptation  to tease him as she took the cup filled with wine ” Ah Jing  ~” cooing softly she interlinked their arms and brought wine cup to  her lips and drank the wine in one gulp. 

Lin Jing  who heard Su Wan  calling in such a coy manner felt  as if his heart was being scratched by a cat . He trembled  and gulped his wine  but because of Su Wan’s  short stature  when  he raised his arm , Su Wan  was pulled closer to his body . 

When Su Wan’s  soft body flushed against his , Lin Jing  felt swallowed hard . His bodily instinct  told him to take his wife  then and there but he didn’t  want to make his wife  angry . So he hurriedly  disentangled himself from Su Wan , crossed  the mattress and started taking off his outer garments before he blew out the lamp and got on the mattress.

Su Wan  who saw his flurried manner found this husband of her’s really cute , did Lin Jing thought  that if he blew out the lamp  she won’t  see his reddened ears ? How naive .

Her room had the best scenery and there were  no panes in windows either in her room , maybe the previous  resident loved the river view  as well and didn’t  bother with panes . Because of that her room was now well lit by moonlight and she could see the blush that was yet to recede from Lin Jing’s ears .

Once Lin Jing  threw the covers over  him , Su Wan  followed suit and laid down  on the bed .

Su Wan  still wanted to talk  to Lin Jing  so naturally  she couldn’t  sleep  and the same could  be said for  Lin Jing .  In his twenty  six years of life this was the first time a woman was sleeping  beside  him moreover this woman was his wife  ! Lin Jing could smell Su Wan’s  natural scent that wafted over to him and that fragrance entered his body and went  right down  to his ****.  He could feel  heat pulsating in his body and something pressing against  his pants , ge was ofcourse a healthy young man , asking him to resist doing anything  was equivalent  to asking a wolf not  to pounce on the sheep when he was dying of hunger ! Wasn’t this torture inhuman? or was it ? 

  Su Wan  waited for Lin Jing  to say something  but contrary  to her expectations this husband of her’s  simply continued lying on the mattress like a log if wood ( Lin Jing  : I’m  wronged ; I  don’t  want to lie as a log of wood but I have no choice ! Ah ” ) 

When she saw that Lin Jing  was really not speaking  she was infuriated. How will  they live a happy life like this ?  With her husband  being so stoic  like this – but then she calmed down , it was still her first day here , she  still had time as long as she worked hard maybe  she could change  her husband’s  nature  a little and make  him talk a little  more , even if she couldn’t  make him talk , Su Wan  was assured that she could atleast make Lin Jing  speak  few more  words !

Thus, she turned  her body towards  Lin Jing  so that she will face  him directly and just as she did , she silently  gasped  . Even  though  she knew that the  brothers were really handsome , gazing at a beauty under the moonlight  was a completely  different  experience  , in the morning  Lin Jing  looked a bit harsh and rough but now the moonlight  had softened his facial  features  making him look even  more charming  . 

But this didn’t  make her happy at all ! Ahhh , it was just the first  night and  she was already regretting  her decision  ! Damn it !  How she wanted  to trace those handsome curves of his face  , how she wanted to run her fingers upon his lips – how she wanted him to look down at her with his eyes filled with passion. and lust , as he covered  her body with his and – never mind .

Su Wan  quickly put  a stop on her thoughts  that were hurriedly and very happily  skipping down the path of temptations .

Right now  she just wanted to talk to Lin Jing ! That’s  right just a simple  , platonic conversation.
