Chapter 20

Once again, Ji Nuannuan had been exposed!

She vowed never to play these games with Fu Jinghan again!

It was just too embarrassing!

She didn’t dare poke her head out of the covers until she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. Her heart pounded uncontrollably.

She murmured to herself, “What do I do? Why does it feel like I’m about to chicken out? But… it’s just so embarrassing!”

Still, no matter how shy she felt, Ji Nuannuan couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild as she listened to the sounds from the bathroom.

What could it look like in there…?

Just as her thoughts wandered to questionable places, the bathroom door slowly opened.

Fu Jinghan stepped out.

Steam curled around him, and a towel hung loosely around his waist, barely concealing the most important part of him.

The edge of the towel drooped slightly, revealing just a glimpse of his well-defined abs.

Water dripped from his damp hair, trailing down his cheek, his neck, and disappearing into the edge of the towel.

Catching Ji Nuannuan staring at him, completely mesmerized, Fu Jinghan cleared his throat.
“Why, are you stunned by what you see?”

Her face turned beet red. She immediately looked away and stammered, “N-No way!”

Fu Jinghan’s lips curved into a teasing smile as he walked over to the bed.

“No? Then I must not be charming enough.”
“Not like my Nuannuan—completely irresistible.”

“I’ve been lost in you and haven’t found my way back.”

He was too good at sweet talk—Ji Nuannuan didn’t stand a chance. She stiffly tried to change the subject.

“Why did you finish your shower so fast?”

“I didn’t want to keep Nuannuan waiting.”

As he spoke, he got closer.

“Couldn’t let you wait too long.”

The space between them shrank.

Ji Nuannuan’s gaze landed on Fu Jinghan’s abs, and without thinking, her fingers reached out and gently touched him.

The moment her fingertips met his hot skin, she panicked and tried to pull back.

But Fu Jinghan caught her hand and guided it back.

“Baby, don’t take it away.”

Before she could respond, Fu Jinghan sealed her lips with a kiss.

“Mmm…”

He pressed her firmly onto the bed. His kisses trailed from her cheeks to her lips, then down to her neck and collarbone…

His lips devoured every part of her with possessive heat.

She responded to him, their breaths quickening, the room’s temperature rising like fire.

This kiss was hotter and more intense than any before. Ji Nuannuan felt breathless.

Her silk robe had long since vanished, and now, her nightgown was slowly being peeled away.

Lost in passion, Fu Jinghan whispered hoarsely, “Nuannuan, I love you.”

Barely able to form words, Ji Nuannuan murmured back, “I love you too… hubby.”

Hubby.
It was the first time she had ever called him that.

That one word made Fu Jinghan’s desire flare even stronger. His eyes were burning.

Just as they were about to truly become one, Fu Jinghan suddenly froze mid-movement, stiffening awkwardly in a rather compromising position.

With a dry, husky voice, he muttered, “Nuannuan… I think we’re out of…”

Ji Nuannuan, dazed and breathless under him, pointed toward the nightstand.

“There. The biggest size.”

Only the warm bedside lamp was on, casting a soft golden glow.

In that light, their silhouettes drew closer, overlapping again and again.

The only sounds left in the room were their gasps and… things best left undescribed.

“Baby, I love you.”

“Baby, call me hubby.”

“H-hubby…”

“Say it again.”

…

At first, Ji Nuannuan kept calling him “hubby” over and over. But later, all she could manage were the kind of sounds that couldn’t be spoken aloud.

She had no idea how much time had passed. Ji Nuannuan felt like she was losing consciousness, while Fu Jinghan still showed no signs of slowing down.

Only when she finally blacked out did he stop, carrying her into the bathroom.

There, she clung limply to him, her arms wrapped around his neck as he held her by the waist.

The last thing she remembered was him carrying her back to bed and applying something soothing… somewhere… before she completely passed out.

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, casting dappled light across the room.

Ji Nuannuan slowly opened her eyes, only to feel a deep ache all over her body—especially in one particular place.

“You’re awake?”

Fu Jinghan’s voice sounded nearby. He had been there the whole time, reviewing documents.

As soon as he saw her stirring, he closed his laptop and came back to lie beside her.

Seeing that he hadn’t left for work, Ji Nuannuan’s grievance bubbled up again.

Like a wounded bunny, she ducked into the blanket and let out an angry little “hmph!”

She clearly remembered how she begged him to stop last night—and this man totally ignored her!

Not only did he ignore her pleas, the more she begged, the more excited he got!

She was not talking to him anymore!

Knowing he was in the wrong, Fu Jinghan wrapped his arms around the lump under the blanket and pulled her into his embrace.

Last night… may have been a bit much. But Nuannuan was just too tempting, too delicious. He completely lost control. Stopping felt impossible. He could only…

“I’m sorry, baby. It’s your fault for being too irresistible.”

Ji Nuannuan hadn’t really been angry to begin with. But it was her first time—and the intensity and frequency nearly broke her.

Still, now that they were truly husband and wife in every sense of the word, she softly complained,
“Hmph, I don’t care. It hurts all over.”

“Where does it hurt? Here? Or here?” Fu Jinghan’s hand wandered down her stomach.

“I’ll give you a massage.”

Frightened by where this was going, Ji Nuannuan bolted from his arms.

She wrapped the blanket tightly around herself like a startled little rabbit, clearly afraid he was going to start again.

But in doing so, she also accidentally pulled the towel off of Fu Jinghan.

So when she finally looked back at him—

What she saw was absolutely not suitable for children.
