Chapter 462: Chapter 441: One More Update

Zheng Congyuan embraced the person in front of him, unwilling to think about those matters, not wanting to consider anything. Only now did he feel just how frail the girl in his arms was, and in an instant he thought of how anxious she had been these days.

"Do you not want me anymore?" Zheng Nianru suddenly felt at peace, and by the time she asked this question, she already had her answer.

Zheng Congyuan’s heart suddenly hurt so much that he couldn’t breathe. He didn’t answer but just held the girl in his arms even tighter, recklessly as if trying to exert all his strength.

Zheng Nianru began to feel some pain, and eventually, it seemed as if all her muscles and bones were being crushed, and she, too, couldn’t breathe. The woman didn’t struggle but simply closed her eyes. This was fine, too; it would be fine even if she died. At least then she wouldn’t have to think about anything anymore.

"How could I not want you," Zheng Congyuan said, suppressing his emotions to the extreme, slowly opening his mouth, breathing in the faint scent of the woman’s body—how could he possibly not want her.

The next moment, Zheng Congyuan felt something was amiss and loosened his embrace slightly, only then, in his panic, realizing his own strength. He quickly let go, and Zheng Nianru’s face had already turned pale, her breath weak. Zheng Congyuan immediately panicked.

"I’m fine," Zheng Nianru said, slightly opening her eyes, and the next moment she was lively again. Though she had felt uncomfortable just now, she definitely heard Zheng Congyuan’s words clearly.

"You said it, no matter what happens, you will not abandon me," Zheng Nianru quickly said, cunningly adding on, no matter what happens.

Zheng Congyuan was amused by Zheng Nianru’s successful little trick, and stretched out his hand as usual to poke the forehead of the girl in front of him. As his hand approached her, he instead gently stroked the young girl’s fine black hair, touching the corner of her forehead tenderly.

The next moment, Zheng Congyuan wanted to speak, but he did not. The matter was already in the past; what was the point of asking now.

Zheng Nianru looked at Zheng Congyuan with a tender gaze, mixed with the shyness of a young girl, which was different from usual. Her little finger lightly hooked the edge of Zheng Congyuan’s robe, not in a hurry, savoring the sweetness of the moment.

Zheng Congyuan was hugging her for the first time, taking the initiative for the first time. She had strived for two lifetimes to reach this point; how could she not feel sweetness in her heart.

Zheng Nianru felt that maybe she should use some of the techniques Nanny Yun had taught her, to make Zheng Congyuan unable to resist and to never again...

Zheng Congyuan, too, was looking at the girl in front of him, clearly understanding what Zheng Nianru intended to do. Her thoughts were always written all over her face. Zheng Congyuan sighed softly in his heart; he really wanted to properly comfort Zheng Nianru, but the truth was, there was much to do, and he indeed was very busy.

The situation had reached a delicate point. Although Zheng Capital was still calm on the surface, the undercurrents were turbulent, compelling him to be on full alert.

Moreover, what he sought was not a transient triumph but a future where he could...

Zheng Congyuan was about to speak when he saw Zheng Nianru’s face change faster than flipping through a book. Knowing trouble was coming, sure enough, before he could speak, Zheng Nianru had already grabbed a soft pillow nearby and thrown it at him.

"I knew it, I knew it, you clearly still don’t want me," Zheng Nianru’s tearful voice accused, word by word. She thought, she thought Zheng Congyuan was different, not like others, at least not like Ju Nanyi, dwelling on these petty matters, unable to move on for a lifetime.

"Nian Ru, listen to me," Zheng Congyuan wanted to catch the woman’s hands as she frantically reached for things around her. It was nighttime, and if they made a scene, wouldn’t everyone know?

"I won’t listen, Zheng Congyuan, why did you even bother coming? Could it be that you want to ask me what really happened in the cave? Could it be that you want to ask..." Zheng Nianru’s tears fell drop by drop. How could she not feel panicked? She thought...

Zheng Congyuan immediately lowered his head, sealing the lips that were about to utter those questions that no one wished to hear. If he had wanted to ask, he certainly wouldn’t be here. He hadn’t even asked Ju Nanyi. It wasn’t that he didn’t care, but that he had no choice.

Those outside the door were terrified. Qi Ling and Qi Zhu, upon hearing the sounds from inside, were anxiously stamping their feet. Nian Xia, unable to hold back, was about to rush in but was hugged tightly by Qi Zhu.

"My lady, you cannot go in, please, I’m begging you—" Qi Zhu said softly, while suddenly, the noises inside stopped. The people outside were momentarily startled and somewhat at a loss.

While trying to listen carefully to the sounds inside, Qi Ling suddenly picked up Qi Zhu and threw her backwards.

Zheng Nianru was dazed, somewhat bewildered. She discovered what it felt like to be kissed without taking the initiative. She realized how soft a man’s lips could be. Zheng Congyuan moved slightly, and the woman’s soft fragrance instantly overwhelmed his restraint. Zheng Congyuan took the initiative to go further. It wasn’t that he didn’t know how; even if he hadn’t experienced it, the woman before him had taught him. Now, so long as he wasn’t foolish, he could learn from example. The beauty of the next moment beckoned him to be more forward.

Zheng Nianru was like water flowing in a stream, following Zheng Congyuan’s lead. That unprecedented feeling made her heart pound fiercely, as if it wanted to leap out of her body. Her mind was blank, and the only thing Zheng Nianru could do was grip the front of Zheng Congyuan’s robe tightly, responding awkwardly.

Zheng Congyuan, stirred by Zheng Nianru’s actions, felt his blood rush to his head as if it wanted to burst through. He lifted the girl before him in his arms, yearning for more, his remaining rationality insufficient to stop the allure before him.

Zheng Nianru was like enticing honey, tempting one to plunge into the abyss, and Zheng Congyuan suddenly didn’t want to think any longer. If he were to fail, then he would accept it; this might be his only memory to cherish.

Zheng Nianru suddenly understood Zheng Congyuan’s intentions, and her face flushed instantly. How could she refuse? She had waited two lifetimes and was already prepared. Zheng Nianru took the initiative to climb onto him, beginning to untie Zheng Congyuan’s belt.

"Nian Ru—" Zheng Congyuan suddenly stopped, looking at the infatuated Zheng Nianru, his gaze filled with deep love, as if waiting for her response.

Zheng Nianru opened her hazy eyes, imperceptibly nodded, and immediately her cheeks blushed even deeper. This seemed to give Zheng Congyuan all the strength he needed; even his fingers trembled as they reached for the woman’s belt.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard. Prince Duan, anxious and wishing to check on his daughter before going to bed, saw Xing Yu and Xue Liu stationed at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Xing Yu, Xue Liu, why are you here so late? Shouldn’t you be standing guard outside the Monarch’s quarters?"

Xing Yu jumped in fright. Nanny Yun had just ordered a strict watch to be kept tonight.

"Prince, Prince, why are you here?" Xing Yu immediately asked loudly.

"Keep it down, is the Commandery Princess not asleep yet?" Prince Duan glanced over and saw two dark shadows dart past the exterior. After rubbing his eyes, he wondered if they were a figment of his imagination. Nanny Yun and Nian Xia had already come over with lanterns.

"Prince, why are you out here so late in this freezing weather? If you catch a cold, won’t the Monarch be even more worried?" Nanny Yun spoke incoherently while Housekeeper He, seeing all the people in the courtyard, looked at Nanny Yun with some confusion.

"You’re all outside, where is the Commandery Princess?" Prince Duan directly asked.
