Chapter 7: The Soft and Beautiful Songstress vs. The Strong and Sturdy General

A group of people left the Wei residence in a grand manner, heading toward the border.

Wei Chenheng settled Ning Wanguan in his private carriage, which he specially ordered for long-distance travel. The carriage was spacious, more than twice the width of an ordinary small carriage.

It was normally comfortable to rest inside.

Once Ning Wanguan got into the carriage, Wei Chenheng asked with concern, “Where did you fall just now? Does it hurt? I’ve prepared some medicinal ointment—”

“Husband.” She sweetly interrupted him.

The man paused, furrowing his brow, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

She leaned her head against his chest and softly said, “It doesn’t hurt. Seeing you protect me like that earlier, you don’t know how happy it makes me.”

His heart softened, and he replied gently, “You married me, which means you are mine. I will certainly protect you well for all your life.”

She lowered her head and responded sweetly, “To meet you is my blessing.”

To meet me is actually your blessing! Wei Chenheng!

If it hadn’t been for her quick thinking to frame Gu Qinyi, she would have definitely become the easily bullied in the Wei residence.

Hearing her say this brought him some joy.

He suddenly felt lucky to have her by his side, wrapping her tightly in his arms, when he heard her exclaim.

He paused, lowering his eyes in confusion to look at her.

The girl’s smile froze slightly as she pointed at his suit of armor and said, “Husband, your armor is too hard; it hit me and hurt a bit.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Chenheng quickly replied, “I’ll take it off.”

With that, he removed the armor and neatly placed it on a small table beside them, then returned to her side wearing a gray robe.

Before he could embrace her, she had already wrapped her arms around his waist, inhaling the faint fragrance on him and burying her head in his chest, sweetly saying, “Husband, you treat me so well.”

Her charm kept enchanting him, making his expression relax.

The originally stern face gradually revealed a hint of a smile. However, the girl remained restless in his embrace, and before long, he began to feel something.

This was exactly what Ning Wanguan intended.

She calculated the time; the effect of the aphrodisiac still had five hours to go. As long as she had intimate relations with him within these five hours, she would definitely complete her mission perfectly.

He stared at her, his gaze momentarily blank.

“Husband?” She called sweetly.

“Husband… you…”

He gently pecked her delicate red lips.

The rouge on her lips stained his, giving them a slightly sweet floral fragrance.

This added a touch of softness to his previously cold expression.

As if to comfort her, he ran his fingers through her hair and lightly placed a kiss on her forehead.

The carriage traveled along the road.

Her hair fell loose, dark strands entangled.

…

After a long while, she gradually relaxed.

The girl leaned into his arms, her cheeks flushed.

With slightly upturned eyes that sparkled with a faint smile, she asked, “Are you coming again?”

Startled back to her senses, she quickly pushed away his wandering hands, pleading softly, “No more.”

“Are you scared?”

Her voice was soft and sticky, playfully yielding, “Husband, I was wrong.”

After a few hours like this.

He lifted her rosy little face, affectionately kissing her cheeks repeatedly, delighted by the sight of her flushed appearance, all marked with his trace.

He could vividly feel that she belonged to him.

Only to him.

He reached up and tucked her disheveled hair behind her ear. Just as her eyes regained some clarity, a hint of desire colored them. He restrained his voice and said in a husky tone, “I’ll let you go for now.”

Did this mean he would still want her tonight?

Ning Wanguan was already exhausted and had no strength to argue back. She said weakly, “Husband, Wanwan is hungry.”

Since getting up, she hadn’t eaten anything, had endured great hardship, and after a few hours of turmoil, she felt drained and starved, nearing her limit.

“Didn’t you eat enough just now?”

Her face flushed; this iceberg of a man was extremely straightforward when it came to such matters, leaving her all flustered. Embarrassed and angry, she pouted in complaint, “Husband, don’t tease mw anymore! If you keep this up, I will really get mad!”

Seemingly satisfied with her reaction, the man smirked and suddenly asked the driver outside, “Ah Sheng, how much longer until we reach the post station?”

The driver, Ah Sheng, replied, “Young Master, about a mile’s distance.”

Wei Chenheng instructed, “Let’s rest at the post station.”

“Understood.”

Ah Sheng’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was clearly heard. Ning Wanguan seemed to recall something and quietly asked, “Didn’t Ah Sheng hear that just now?”

He feigned confusion, “Hear what?”

She bit her lip and lightly punched his chest with her small hand, but he caught her wrist in his palm and kissed it tenderly.

The man chuckled softly, “You were shouting so loudly that, not just him, even passersby could hear you.”

Ning Wanguan’s cheeks turned crimson as she shot him a reproachful glance.

His thin lips curled up slightly in a teasing manner, “Weren’t you quite bold just now? Why are you shy now?”

Her face flushed; she had lost herself in the moment and was too immersed to remember they were still in the carriage, with a driver present. She had shouted so loudly that he definitely heard everything clearly.

In that instant, she felt a strong urge to just disappear.
