Chapter 400: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (23)
At night, the two of them lay on the bed. Contrary to his previous behavior, Wei Jingzhou hugged Ruan Guannan without saying a word.
Ruan Guannan thought he was tired and fell asleep.
Just as she closed her eyes sleepily, a warm breath suddenly came over her neck, causing her body to tremble slightly.
Wei Jingzhou buried his head in his shoulder, his voice was deep and dull.
"Do you also think that I am good for nothing and a hopeless piece of shit?"
Ruan Guannan opened his eyes and turned to face him.
Seeing the unconcealable disappointment on his face, Ruan Guannan asked softly:
"Why do you say that?"
Wei Jingzhou pursed his dry lips and lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
"I am a well-known playboy in the capital. They look down on me for my self-degradation, but they still try to please me because of my family background."
His voice was a little hoarse and he seemed a little depressed.
“Why do you suddenly care what other people think?”
Ruan Guannan was a little puzzled. Wasn't this how he had been living all these years?
Wei Jingzhou remained silent.
This afternoon, when he was responding to his second uncle's family, he clearly saw sympathy and pity in the eyes of his two cousins when they looked at Ruan Guannan.
It seemed as if he was pitying her for marrying a man like him who had not accomplished anything.
In the past, Wei Jingzhou never took other people's strange looks to heart.
But today, the frivolous looks from his two cousins-in-law made Wei Jingzhou feel indescribably aggrieved and angry.
He found that he could ignore what others thought of him.
But when Ruan Guannan was ridiculed for this, Wei Jingzhou found it hard to accept.
He rubbed his cheek against her palm, his brows slightly wrinkled, and even the upturned curve at the corners of his eyes seemed to droop, showing his depressed mood.
"In my eyes, my two cousins are mediocre and arrogant, but they passed the imperial examination and became officials, and my two cousins-in-law are proud of it."
"I realize that my lack of knowledge and skills has somewhat embarrassed you."
His voice was filled with self-blame and helplessness, and his arms subconsciously tightened a little.
Ruan Guannan didn't expect him to say that and was speechless for a moment.
Seeing her silence, Wei Jingzhou felt a little heavier in his heart.
He raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, ready to change the subject with a joke.
Suddenly, a white and slender hand gently covered my cheek.
Seeing that he was in a very low mood, Ruan Guannan raised her hand and touched his cheek, gently stroking his handsome face with her thumb.
The voice sounded tender and gentle in the tent late at night.
"Husband, everyone has different expectations of themselves or their significant other."
"Most men aspire to pass the imperial examination and become an official, while most women aspire to find a husband of their dreams."
"Then she will tie her entire life's honor and disgrace to her husband."
"For example, cousins' wives expect their husbands to hold high positions and receive high salaries, bringing them respectability and prosperity."
"But in the same way, the surface is smooth, but the inside is a mess."
"During the time since I entered the Marquis' Mansion, my two cousins have taken in two more concubines."
"I once saw my second cousin's wife with a haggard face. I heard that it was because a concubine in the courtyard had a miscarriage due to a fight for favor, and my second cousin blamed her for not being a good manager and scolded her."
Ruan Guannan's voice was soft and pleasant. Wei Jingzhou gently stroked her belly and listened attentively.
Ruan Guannan hooked a strand of hair on his cheek with his fingertips and played with it, and continued:
"It can be seen that no matter how much glory one brings, one must swallow a lot of pain behind the scenes."
At this point, Ruan Guannan's face became somewhat gloomy, "If my husband wants to take a concubine in the future..."
Before she could finish, Wei Jingzhou sat up suddenly, his face furious, pointing at her and accusing her:
"I want to open my heart to you now, but you are still thinking of taking a concubine for me. You, you..."
The warm atmosphere was immediately broken, and Ruan Guannan also sat up and said unhappily:
"I mean, if you do, will you accept it?"
Wei Jingzhou gnashed his teeth and said, "No ifs, I won't take a concubine."
Ruan Guannan's eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles.
"Look, just based on this point, you make me better than most women in the world. How can I be shameless?"
Wei Jingzhou's eyes were slightly stunned, staring blankly at the woman sitting opposite him, smiling gently and brightly. His heart suddenly beat as if it was going to jump out of his chest.
"Being rich and idle has its own advantages. At least there are no constraints, and every word and action must be calculated."
Ruan Guannan spoke softly and gently, looking at him with a little star in his eyes.
"I want to live freely with you and me, just us and our children..."
Wei Jingzhou took back his previous words. His wife was not a chameleon, but a piece of warm jade that could warm people's hearts.
Hearing her words, just looking at her, it was as if a surge of heat surged from the tip of his heart, so hot that his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
Wei Jingzhou moved closer little by little until their breaths merged, and then he kissed her with his eyelashes trembling slightly.
It's funny, they even have a child together, but this is their first real kiss.
It turns out that I am always awkward and shy due to various reasons.
After talking it over, he realized that they hadn't been close to each other because she was pregnant. A few days ago, he even blushed when he picked up food for her.
But now, Wei Jingzhou just wanted to be close to her.
The candlelight outside flickered, and the temperature in the tent rose steadily.
On the dim and cramped bed, the handsome man held the woman tightly in his arms.
The thin lips trembled slightly and covered the soft lips that had always longed for but were shy to be touched.
The kiss was very long, with a hint of awkwardness and clumsiness.
The hot lip kiss was stumbling, but as the two of them had a mutual understanding of each other, it gradually became better and their hearts were filled with love.
The hot breath made Ruan Guannan's heart tremble, Wei Jingzhou's face and ears were red, and he kissed her with his eyes closed, intoxicated.
It was not until Ruan Guannan began to have difficulty breathing that Wei Jingzhou let her go reluctantly.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
The heat in their chests surged, but neither of them could bear to look away from each other.
Looking at the tearful eyes of the person in his arms, if he hadn't been concerned that she was pregnant, Wei Jingzhou would have wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.
As they looked at each other, Wei Jingzhou couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips again.
Wei Jingzhou became more and more reluctant to let go, wishing he could drown in her tenderness and sweetness.
Wei Jingzhou suddenly opened his eyes only when he realized something.
Suddenly he found that the scene in front of him was so familiar, so familiar that he would never forget it in his life.
He subconsciously held her waist with one hand, and pressed the other hand on her waist, trying to pull away her little hand from his belt.
Wei Jingzhou breathed rapidly, his eyes were dark, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"You are still pregnant, you can't."
There was a thin mist in Ruan Guannan's eyes. When he leaned over, all his black hair fell on his chest.
She leaned over to his ear and blew gently, then whispered something.
Wei Jingzhou blushed upon hearing this, his face as red as a cooked shrimp.
His eyes relaxed a little, but then his voice was filled with shame and anger, "Why are you in this posture again?"
But shame and annoyance return to shame and annoyance.
Soon, the voices in the tent gradually died down, leaving only the whispers of the two people, expressing their endless love.
