The next morning, Jinyu got dressed, while Xu Yi sat on the bed with a red face, not daring to look up. His clothes were slightly open, revealing clear red marks on his fair skin.

His white arms were partially visible, bearing red marks.

Jinyu looked at him and, after dressing, moved to help Xu Yi dress. He quickly refused, embarrassed, “Don’t… don’t…” momentarily at a loss for words.

“Don’t what?” Jinyu’s eyes showed amusement.

“I can dress myself…”

Ignoring his protests, Jinyu dressed him, asking, “How did you feel last night?”

Xu Yi lowered his head, silent, his face growing hot.

“It’ll be the same when we consummate our marriage. Do you like it?” His blush deepened.

“I won’t hurt you at all when we consummate.”

His face turned even redder.

“Want to do it again?” His face burned.

“Xu Yi,” Jinyu caressed his cheek, “I’ll treat you well in the future.”

Xu Yi buried his head in the bedding, “I… I understand…” Why was she saying these things so early in the morning after discussing so much last night?

Jinyu traced a mark on his neck, which Xu Yi dared not look at but grabbed her hand, “Don’t, it’s daytime now. What if someone sees…” Last night, he had made embarrassing sounds of pleasure, which felt strange.

Jinyu withdrew his hand, lifting Xu Yi from the bed and holding his waist, “Okay, let’s wash up and eat, then continue our journey today.”

Xu Yi remained shyly nestled in Jinyu’s embrace, mumbling an “Okay” in a barely audible voice.

Jinyu seated Xu Yi at the table, saying, “Wait here. I’ll check on the others.”

“Okay,” Xu Yi replied, lowering his head and twisting his handkerchief, his cheeks still flushed.

After Jinyu left, Hua Yan took Xu Yi’s hand and arm, asking, “Young Master, did Miss Jin do anything to you last night? Let me see if you have any injuries.” He had woken up early, worried to find red marks on Xu Yi’s neck and wrists, and his face was still flushed.

Xu Yi held Hua Yan’s hand and shyly reassured him, “I have no injuries; she was very gentle last night.”
