Chapter 48 - Take It Easy

Upon seeing this, Consort Li and Consort Song went back to their residences too.

Consort Li felt a little displeased, but she did establish her presence at the family feast today, so she didn't feel like she lost out.

A red-faced Ruoyin followed Lord Fourth back to Yi Lan Villa.

Once they were inside, all the subordinates went out of the room.

Ruoyin's beautiful eyes were hazy as she went forward to help Lord Fourth change and bathe.

Lord Fourth was in a serious mood during the bath.

When he was changing, however, Lord Fourth's mysterious black eyes stared at Ruoyin as though he was a beast.

Ruoyin felt her body heat up. She did not know if it was due to Lord Fourth's gaze or the alcohol she had.

When she removed Lord Fourth's robes, he seized her chin forcefully.

He seemed like he could not see clearly in the night, for he lifted her chin up.

He gazed upon her scarlet cheeks as he ran a slender finger across her. "Why is your face so red, mm?"

Ruoyin met Lord Fourth's eyes directly, her gaze soft as silk. "Lord Fourth, I don't know why either. It's probably because I drank too much~"

She had not felt anything when she was drinking and thus did not think that it was going to have much effect on her. However, the alcohol was now getting into her head.

Lord Fourth laughed, then lowered his head and kissed her brilliant red lips.

Ruoyin pulled herself up against Lord Fourth's neck and started to grind herself against Lord Fourth's chest.

Upon feeling the strange actions of the person in his embrace, Lord Fourth stopped and said in a deep and bewitching voice, "What, you want it~"

His casual question made Ruoyin's face even redder than before, and she raised her tiny fist to hammer against Lord Fourth's chest.

How could he say things so bluntly? She was so shy~

Ruoyin was duplicitous in her reply. "Of course not~"

It was obviously a rejection, but she said it in such a seductive way that she herself felt aroused by the sound of her own voice.

Aiyah, what was wrong with her today? She had not reacted like this before when she had been kissed by Lord Fourth in the past.

Why did she melt as though she was spring water and unable to control herself this time~

"Since you say so, we'll turn off the lights and rest; it's late," Lord Fourth replied. He walked over to the bed and lay down unhurriedly.

A dimness flashed across Ruoyin's pretty eyes before she took off her own clothes on her own.

She knew that her brain was certainly fuzzy from the alcohol. No wonder people said that alcohol could help "liven things up"—that was pretty true!

After changing her clothes, she blew out the candle and lay down under the quilt.

She sneaked a glance at Lord Fourth and found his eyes closed. The silhouette of his face had nary a flaw to pick on with his tall and straight nose, thin lips, and handsome profile.

His relaxed and carefree attitude made him seem as though he would fall asleep in the very next moment.

Ruoyin gritted her teeth and shifted closer to Lord Fourth. Volunteering a topic, she said, "My Lord~ Thanks for accompanying me today~ By bringing me swimming and even gifting me pretty jewelry~"

Lord Fourth's eyelids stirred slightly and he voiced a soft "mm." "Go to sleep," he said.

Ruoyin paused before imitating the sound of a mosquito as she replied, "Mm." She should be more reserved, especially since she was a woman in the Qing dynasty, right?

Thus, she suppressed the feelings in her heart so that Lord Fourth would not think her unreserved.

Thus, she instinctively turned her gaze and body away from Lord Fourth, facing him with her back.

However, because she was still dizzy with alcohol, her movements were a little wide as she did so. With a thrust of her butt, it landed right onto Lord Fourth's arm.

This hit made Lord Fourth open his eyes immediately.

In the next moment, Ruoyin felt herself being hugged by Lord Fourth from behind.

She exerted all her strength as she snuggled into Lord Fourth's embrace, as though he was the only one who could get the alcohol out of her system. She even said as she moved, "I want Lord Fourth to hug me to sleep~"

Since it was Lord Fourth who took the initiative, she would seem as though she was simply cooperating with him no matter what she did next.

"What else do you know other than acting coy? Isn't your Lord already hugging you?" Lord Fourth answered in a low voice.

Her body was obviously still hot as fire, yet she was suppressing it and not taking initiative.

"I'll even give birth to Lord Fourth's child." Ruoyin turned around to face Lord Fourth and even leaned forward to plant a kiss on his cheek.

Her voice was soft and cottony, and it melted Lord Fourth's heart as he listened.

Also, when the woman kissed Lord Fourth's cheek, her heat pressed against his skin and the faint smell of intoxicating wine wafted over.

Lord Fourth could not control himself and flipped over on top of her.

His large, manly palm started to strip off clothing and began to rove around Ruoyin's body.

His lips kissed every inch of her tender skin, from her hair to her beautiful collarbone to her snow-white shoulders.

He traveled down gradually…

In a short moment, Ruoyin hugged Lord Fourth and clung to him forcefully, then received him even more intimately…

Lord Fourth was intermittently gentle and violent as he made love to his woman.

On the other hand, Ruoyin bewitched him at times and frowned composedly at times, all along holding in and not making a sound.

However, Lord Fourth managed to make her lose control and moan intoxicatedly~

Her body was imprinted with Lord Fourth's love marks and even with scarlet claw marks.

After repeatedly frolicking until deep into the night, Ruoyin again begged for mercy early, "My Lord, I have no strength left~"

"You're getting more and more useless. How can you have strength when you don't even eat rice!" Lord Fourth said past gritted teeth, as though he was enduring something silently.

After a long while, he then gave a low moan and released all the anger and desire of the day explosively.

Afterward, Lord Fourth carried Ruoyin to clean up, and both of them lay down again.

Lord Fourth stared at the woman in his embrace and reached out to scratch the tip of her nose.

Ruoyin was almost asleep when she was scratched. Her beautiful brows knitted and she said warningly, "Lord Fourth, you can't do that today. It hurts~"

Lord Fourth could not help but laugh. Even though her tone was impolite, he did not lecture her on account of her birthday.

Internally, he scolded her for being cold-hearted and being rude to him after achieving her goal. Then, he turned in as well.

The next morning, a groggy Ruoyin felt herself in pain. Not only was her body hurting, but she also felt an unexplainable feeling in her heart.

Moreover, the feeling was eating into her heart and mind.

When she finally snapped out of it, her first thought was if she had another wet dream again.

Why was she getting harder and harder to satisfy nowadays? Didn't she just have an intimate session with Lord Fourth yesterday?

After closing her eyes and pondering, Ruoyin felt a little more awake. However, not only did the feeling persist, but it even grew stronger.

Afterward, her head cleared a little more and she could feel someone's heavy breaths.

She opened her eyes. Unfathomably, her lips twitched and she said, "Lord Fourth, it's only morning; take it easy~"

"Shut up~" Lord Fourth replied raspily.

It was the woman's fault for sleeping restlessly. It was one thing to move about all over the place, but another thing to rub his body the "wrong" way!

Ruoyin gasped uncontrollably.

She had to say that she really felt pain behind. Every single motion made her tremble with pain!

After a long while, Lord Fourth finally stopped moving. However, Ruoyin exclaimed with fright, "My Lord~ It hurts, it hurts! Hurry up and make it stop!"

"Nonsense. How could you say you're hurting when your Lord isn't touching you anymore? You weren't even cooperative when it was happening, and then you want it after it's already done!" Lord Fourth slapped Ruoyin's body with his large palm.
