1743 Wedding Night 3
Gu Chaoyan’s body trembled with a mixture of antic.i.p.ation and uncertainty as Zhou Huaijin’s long, gentle fingers explored her form. Every touch sent a thrilling s.h.i.+ver through her, awakening sensations she had never experienced before.
Sensing her heightened response, Zhou Huaijin hesitated, afraid that he might overwhelm her with his actions. This was an intimate moment they had never shared before, and he wanted to ensure her comfort above all else. Holding her close, he whispered softly, “What is it?”
Gu Chaoyan clung to him tightly, her hands gripping his back, unable to find the right words to express her emotions. Her breath grew ragged, and her wide eyes reflected a mixture of confusion and desire. She struggled to contain the overwhelming sensations coursing through her body.
A flush of heat spread across her skin, and an array of indescribable emotions swirled within her. It was a foreign and exhilarating feeling that left her uncertain of her own desires. Though she yearned to draw closer to Zhou Huaijin, a sense of hesitation lingered within her.
As her vision blurred slightly, Gu Chaoyan instinctively pressed herself against Zhou Huaijin, her face growing even redder. Her actions revealed her unspoken willingness, driven by a surge of pa.s.sion she couldn’t fully comprehend.
Caught in the whirlwind of Chaoyan’s eagerness, Zhou Huaijin felt an intense surge of desire. However, as he looked into her flushed face, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
Chaoyan’s behavior today was entirely out of character, leaving Zhou Huaijin utterly perplexed. Just as he was about to inquire further, she abruptly pushed him away and retreated to a corner, trembling uncontrollably.
“Chaoyan?” Zhou Huaijin’s voice trembled with concern, refraining from making any sudden movements that could startle her further.
Gu Chaoyan remained silent, consumed by inner turmoil and struggling to regain her composure. She appeared to be in immense distress, finding it difficult to contain whatever she was experiencing.
Meanwhile, outside the palace walls, Ouyang Mingjing and the Elder Men from Snow Territory had infiltrated Fengxian Palace without causing a commotion or encountering any resistance. When Sword One and Fu Bao discovered their presence, they were taken aback. “What brings you here?”
Sword One stepped forward, her wariness evident as she prepared to intervene. She had never held much fondness for the Head of Snow Territory, Ouyang Mingjing. His actions had caused considerable trouble for Qing in the past, leading to a deep-rooted sense of distrust.
He used to harbor feelings for Elder Miss in the past, and Sword One couldn’t shake off the suspicion that Ouyang Mingjing had ulterior motives for appearing at Fengxian Palace at such a late hour. She sensed that he might be plotting something disruptive.
“It is the King and Elder Miss’ wedding night. I must kindly ask you to leave, City Lord” Sword One stated firmly, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Ouyang Mingjing shot her a cold glare and seemed determined to disregard her warning, poised to proceed further into the inner chamber.
He had come for a reason—it was their wedding night.
The completion of the wedding night must be prevented, not only because Gu Chaoyan was meant to be the Snow Territory’s head consort but also due to another undisclosed motive.
Just as Ouyang Mingjing was about to take another step forward, the chamber door swung open. Standing in the doorway, Zhou Huaijin glanced at Sword One, intentionally avoiding direct eye contact with Ouyang Mingjing.
“Sword One, attend to your Elder Miss immediately. The others, prepare some water,” Zhou Huaijin commanded, his voice authoritative yet composed.
With that said, Zhou Huaijin turned his attention toward Ouyang Mingjing.
“City Lord Ouyang, it appears that you have overstepped your boundaries. This is Fengxian Palace, my palace. Without my summons, you have no right to be here. I advise you to leave immediately!” Zhou Huaijin’s voice carried a veiled threat, making it clear that he had no intention of entertaining Ouyang Mingjing any further. With his warning issued, he turned his attention back to the inner chamber.
Realizing the futility of their presence, Ouyang Mingjing and the Elder Man exchanged a brief glance before deciding to retreat. They departed from the palace without causing any further disturbance.
Meanwhile, inside the inner chamber, Sword One entered with a sense of urgency. “Mr. Head, what happened to Elder Miss?”
Upon closer inspection, Gu Chaoyan was found blus.h.i.+ng, her brows furrowed, and perspiration glistening on her forehead. She seemed to be in discomfort.
