Ren Shou appeared slightly drunk. His face was red.
He had drunk a lot today. His father-in-law wants to make him drunk, so he could sleep once he arrived at the bridal chamber.
Ren Shou's steps were unstable as he reached towards Liam.
Aunt Min furrowed his brow at this. But she did not say anything about it as she started drinking wine for the couple.
Ren Shou sat across Liam. They both reached for the wine cup, interlocked their arms, and drank the wine in one gulp.
After that, all the servants excused themselves to leave the two alone.
As the door closed, Ren Shou, who had dazed eyes, suddenly sit up straight. His clear eyes were a bit teary because of a huge amount of alcohol intake, but they were clear. He was still red, but he was widely awake.
He needed to act drunk to get out of the banquet.
He turned to Liam, who had not spoken ever since he came.
Looking at the figure who was covered in a gorgeous red qipao, Ren Shou became nervous. She was his wife. His other part. His companion for the rest of his life. They would never be separated.
He reached out slowly to the veil to uncover Liam's face. His hands were slightly shaking. He wanted to see her.
As he took off the veil, he was instantly stunned.
He had never seen a lady that was comparable to the beauty in front of him.
His wangfei was slightly adorned in makeup, emphasizing her beautiful features. Her headdress suited her well. The hanging golden beans were cupping her little face. Wearing the gorgeous qipao, his wangfei looked an ethereal beauty. There was also a fragrance surrounding her that made Ren Shou feel hotter as he took every sniff.
Not only that, but his little wangfei's face was slightly red.
Liam, who suddenly turned hotter once she drank the wine, was feeling suffocated and uncomfortable. The scent of the pouch in her hands was also making her feel giddy.
'What's happening?' This sensation bothered Liam a lot. This feeling was making her hot allover that she forgot to greet her husband.
'Is there something wrong with the wine? ' She glanced at Ren Shou, who was still stunned. She even did not notice that her veil was gone.
'The pouch?' Liam glanced at the pouch in her hands. As she took one sniff, she felt hotter, and her heart pounded loudly.
'Shooot. That old woman!' Liam could faintly guess what was in the pouch. The pouch must contain a small dose of aphrodisiac. And the wine included its catalyst. That explains why she started feeling giddy the moment she had drunk the wine.
'Then Ren Shou?' Liam glanced at Ren Shou, who gulped visibly.
'Shoot. Was he feeling it too?' Liam stood up and throw the pouch in the window.
"Wangfei?" Ren Shou immediately ran to her side, probably worried about what she would do in the window.
As soon as Ren Shou came to her side, she smelled the fragrance of alcohol on him and his manly scent. Her insides burn. A sense of sexual thirst surged within Liam.
Her intuition and her expression when dangerous things happen were released for a bit. Liam's sharp and cold eyes glared at Ren Shou.
"Don't come near me." Liam's voice was stern and cold.
Ren Shou was taken aback by her expression. He always saw Liam smiling and had that nonchalant expression on her face. This was the first time that Liam talked so coldly to him. This made him hurt a bit.
And his expression clearly showed how he felt.
Liam saw it and instantly erased that glare. Her instinct just kicked in whenever she was in a dire situation.
She felt guilty a bit that this hopeless situation was vented out to this innocent man. Liam was good at reading people. Knowing Ren Shou, she knows he would not do this kind of thing just to get her body.
"I'm sorry. I have something in my mind." Liam took a step, but his scent was so strong that she halted. She should not come any closer.
Ren Shou took a step forward. He suddenly became worried. Was his wangfei was angry at him because he only showed up now? He was not there when he presented betrothal gifts. Ren Shou was worried that his wangfei would alienate him and treat him as a stranger.
"I am sorry, wangfei. It took a long time for me to get here. Please don't take it against me. I promise you, once everything is settled, I will spend more time with you." Ren Shou was about to held Liam's hand when she avoided it.
Ren Shou got hurt by her actions.
Liam saw this and explained.
"It is better to not come near me. I am not angry at you. It's okay, actually. You can go back to the feast and enjoy. Don't mind me here." Liam sincerely said. It was better if Ren Shou stayed outside, her self-control would snap at any moment.
Ren Shou was really hurt. Now, his wangfei doesn't want him anymore. He took those words as 'go enjoy there, it took you a long time to come here, right? You must be enjoying yourself. Just leave me alone to suffer on this lonely cold night. It's fine. I won't need you.'
Ren Shou realized that he should have become impolite and told the guest, specifically his father-in-law, that he needs to see his wife. It was his self-control. They were already in this situation. Ren Shou doesn't want to be misunderstood. He really wanted to treat Liam with all sincerity and care.
"I am sorry. I won't disappoint you again." Ren Shou used qigong and hugged her.
Liam struggled.
"I forgive you even though I don't know what you're talking about. Just let me go, okay?" Now that Ren Shou closed their distance, Liam felt that her self-control was snapping little by little.
Sniffing an aphrodisiac + drinking a catalyst + being hugged by a living aphrodisiac = Liam getting lewd.
'No! No! I am a well-mannered granny that does not take advantage of the young!' Liam was shouting in her mind.
"Liam.." + magnetic voice = getting lewder
Ren Shou's magnetic voice making Liam slowly losing her self control.
'Stay strong! Stay strong!' Liam still struggled. She could not speak as she was concentrating her mind to think carefully.
Yes, they were married.
But she promised herself she would not take advantage of the young Ren Shou. She also took the possibility of what would happen on the first night of their wedding since that was 'normal' for couples. But her pride in her last life made her believe that she would not force herself against the young. If Ren Shou wanted it, she might give it under the circumstances.
Not the other way around!
