Chapter 2: The Delicate Beauty Songstress vs. The Strong General 2

Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment before slowly raising his hand to lift the red veil with a golden scale.

The vibrant veil floated to the ground, and the girl shyly raised her chin from beneath the golden hairpin and jade circlet. She had delicate, rosy cheeks, eyebrows like distant mountains, a face as smooth as cream, and her clear eyes gazed at him.

The man was taken aback, his expression one of astonishment.

The girl’s eyelashes were long and curled, her peach blossom eyes sparkling, with a gaze that seemed to contain flowing spring water.

She timidly bowed, “Husband…”

Her voice was soft and sweet.

The man swallowed hard, realizing he had lost composure, and quickly turned his face away.

The corners of the girl’s lips lifted slightly, and her smile revealed two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

Even the undefeated general, who had fought on the battlefield for years, had a shy side!

She suddenly wanted to know if he was this shy, whether he would be just as shy in bed.

“Why won’t you look at me, husband?”

“There is no need for the young lady to call me husband.”

“Why not? I have married into the Wei family, so I belong to you. If I don’t call you husband…”

Should I call you daddy!?!?

Her tone was seductive, and she breathed softly against his neck, making him feel a tingling sensation all over.

“Husband, Wanwan’s life has been tragic. I have been without parents since childhood, and was taken by a brothel owner to the Drunken Sound Pavilion. I am helpless. If you despise me…”

She bit her lip, her watery, glistening eyes looking pitifully at the man, “Then how can I live with any dignity? It would be better to die…”

While she spoke of her misfortunes, her cunning little hand casually rested on his solid chest.

Wei Chenheng’s body stiffened.

He rarely spent time alone with women, and his experience was almost zero. He could kill without blinking an eye in battle, but seeing this girl cry, looking so pitiful, made him suddenly panic.

“Don’t cry; I won’t drive you away.” Wei Chenheng felt a bit troubled. “How about this, we sleep in separate rooms.”

The girl’s tears fell even more fiercely.

“If you sleep in a separate room, how will the people in the mansion see me? Those sycophants who flatter the powerful and bully the weak, if they find out about this, how will I face everyone in the mansion in the future…”

Upon hearing this, Wei Chenheng found her reasoning quite valid, but he truly did not want to take advantage of her vulnerability. Moreover, hearing about her tragic background added to his pity for her.

After all, Wei Chenheng had been well-educated since childhood, humble and polite. He understood that although she came from a brothel, she was also a person of misfortune.

He proposed, “I’ll sleep on the floor, and you can sleep on the bed.”

Ning Wanguan was stunned, and her expression almost couldn’t hold back.

This man would rather sleep on the floor than share a bed with her?

“You are really good to me, husband.” She praised insincerely, then asked, “Husband, this wedding gown is heavy; could you help me untie it?”

“I’ll have a maid come in—”

“I only want you, husband…”

The man’s head buzzed with confusion.

His gaze deepened as he glanced at her.

…

The red complemented her small face, making it look bright and rosy, very beautiful.

Not a single subtle change in his expression escaped her eyes.

A smile curved Ning Wanguan’s brows, and she smiled sweetly.

Everyone in Jin City said the general was indifferent to women, but they had not encountered her.

The man maintained his handsome face, slightly closed his eyes, but his mind was filled with her lovely smile.

“Husband, please look at Wanwan. Is Wanwan not pretty?”

“Young lady, please have some self-respect.”

…

A thin layer of sweat had already betrayed his nervousness.

Not pushing her away immediately meant there was a chance.

“Husband…”

She bit her lip, her face flushed, and shyly said, “Although I come from a place of pleasure, and have learned many skills to serve men, I have never truly served any man.”

【!】

Seeing her slightly furrowed brows, he hoarsely said, “I’m sorry.”

…

After a night passed.

When the rooster crowed, Wei Chenheng changed his clothes and left early to practice martial arts. Tongs finally woke her up, “Host! Host!”

Ning Wanguan was so exhausted that she felt like falling apart and weakly said, “Don’t make noise; I’m awake.”

“Host, you forgot to take the fertility pill last night!”

“??????”

What a waste of suffering.

Hearing movement in the room, two serving maids knocked on the door and entered with a basin of water and clean clothes. Upon seeing the bloodstains on the bedding, their faces revealed expressions of surprise.

It was rumored that this Ning Wanguan was bought from a place of pleasure, and she had actually lost her virginity. Could she be innocent?

After exchanging glances, the two silently tidied up the bedding, preparing to report to the old lady.

After Ning Wanguan finished changing with the maids’ assistance and washed up, she prepared to greet old lady Wei, who was Wei Chenheng’s biological mother and her mother-in-law.

She sighed inwardly, fearing it would be another tough battle.
