Chapter 122 Try it once at night
After winning a game against Shen Fuhan, Wen Jiayue felt refreshed and invigorated.
She seized the opportunity to say, "I'm going to look at the scenery now, you can't stop me."
Shen Fuhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is this the reward for winning?"
Wen Jiayue said warily, "There's only this one round; there won't be any more."
She always felt that his question was malicious.
“I didn’t say anything,” Shen Fuhan asked, “Why are you so nervous?”
Wen Jiayue ignored him and lifted the curtain to gaze into the distance.
They had long since left Chang'an and traversed the desolate areas outside the city, and were now in a small town near Chang'an.
This place looks extremely prosperous, with people coming and going, colorful flags fluttering, and buildings standing tall, but it seems a bit mediocre compared to the capital.
The town was small, and we soon emerged from it. Next came a sparse bamboo grove, rustling in the wind.
Unknown wildflowers bloomed along the stream, vying for attention and showing off their beauty, no less stunning than the flowers carefully tended in the mansion.
It was an ordinary scene, yet Wen Jiayue felt a long-lost sense of joy.
This was the place outside of Chang'an, and she finally set foot there successfully.
Shen Fuhan took a sip of tea.
The spring sunshine was bright, and sunlight occasionally fell on her face, making her bright almond-shaped eyes brimming with surprise and anticipation.
He gently put down the teacup without disturbing her.
Far from the town, the surrounding area gradually became desolate, with only tall trees and lush weeds remaining.
Wen Jiayue's heart tightened, and she quickly closed the curtain.
Seeing that her face was pale, Shen Fuhan asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Jiayue said in a trembling voice, "The forest is too deep, and it looks a bit dangerous. I'm scared."
She was indeed afraid, but it was because she remembered going to the temple to fulfill a vow on Zhao Zhao's first birthday.
It was in such a forest that Ruyi was tragically killed by bandits while trying to protect her and Zhaozhao.
Shen Fuhan reassured him, "I brought enough guards, there will be no danger."
Wen Jiayue remained silent, still trapped in the fear of that day.
She always remembered that day when Shen Fuhan couldn't go because of something, and asked her to bring six guards to protect her.
Six guards would have been enough, but on her way back to the manor, she encountered more than a dozen desperate men who only wanted to finish this job and then end their own lives.
The guards fought desperately, but they were outnumbered and only two guards remained to protect them as they escaped.
Seeing that she was about to be caught up, Ruyi let go of her hand and resolutely turned around and ran back.
Wen Jiayue dared not think any further, afraid of revealing a flaw, and desperately held back.
When she came to her senses, she found herself in a warm embrace.
Shen Fuhan could feel her body trembling slightly, so he couldn't help but hug her even tighter.
"So scared?"
His voice was deep, as if melting away ice and snow, making her feel a long-lost warmth from him.
Wen Jiayue didn't say anything, nor did she push her away.
At times, she did need him.
She kept thinking that if Shen Fuhan had come to pick her up sooner, perhaps Ruyi wouldn't have lost her life.
Fortunately, fate gave her a second chance. This time, everyone she cares about will live well.
Shen Fuhan patted her back awkwardly and said in a low voice, "We've already passed the woods."
As the carriage curtain swayed, Wen Jiayue saw the carriage traveling smoothly on the flat and open official road.
She immediately pushed him away.
The speed was so fast that Shen Fuhan didn't even have time to react.
He asked with a displeased expression, "What, you're going to throw it away after you're done using it?"
Wen Jiayue pursed her lips and said, "That's not what I meant."
"What do you mean?"
He kept pressing her for answers, so Wen Jiayue had no choice but to make up a story: "I was afraid the driver would see it."
Shen Fuhan said cryptically, "You have so many things to worry about."
Wen Jiayue's heart tightened, and she dared not say anything more, for fear of arousing his suspicion.
"Let's continue playing chess."
As noon approached, the carriage stopped at the post station.
The food at the post station was mediocre, and Wen Jiayue wasn't in the mood to eat properly. After a quick meal, she prepared to rest for a while.
Judging by the time, she can lie there for fifteen minutes.
Hui'er glanced at the Marquis who was still eating and said solicitously, "Madam, please sleep. I will wake you up when it's time."
Wen Jiayue nodded and looked at Ruyi: "In that case, you should go and rest."
Ruyi curtsied and said, "Thank you, Madam."
After saying that, she looked at Hui'er and smiled, "Sister Hui'er, then I'll trouble you to take care of Madam."
Upon hearing that Ruyi could rest, Hui'er's face turned green, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Her back ached from sitting in the carriage, and there was only a thin cushion on the ground. She wanted to rest there too!
But then she thought, with one less person, she actually had a better chance.
So he generously said, "Go ahead, I'm not tired at all anyway."
Wen Jiayue had already closed her eyes.
However, she couldn't fall asleep in such a short time; she just wanted to lie down for a while.
A moment later, she heard Shen Fuhan's footsteps approaching her.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Hui'er shush her: "My lord, the madam is asleep. Why don't you take me to the next room to rest?"
Wen Jiayue didn't open her eyes, calmly waiting for Shen Fuhan to respond.
"Knowing that Madam is asleep, why are you still saying so much?" Shen Fuhan said coldly, "Get out!"
He didn't lower his voice at all, and Wen Jiayue couldn't help but pout. Wasn't he the one bothering her more?
Hui'er's footsteps faded into the distance, and the door closed.
The wind whistled past her ears, and then Wen Jiayue felt a hand on her neck and the back of her knees. She was forced to raise her body and move to the innermost side.
Judging from his expression, it seems he also needs to rest.
The inn was very basic, and the beds were so small that two people had to squeeze together to sleep.
Wen Jiayue stopped pretending to be asleep and sat up.
"Since Your Excellency wishes to sleep, then I shall go first..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Fuhan put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
"In such a short time, are you afraid I might do something to you?"
Wen Jiayue pursed her lips. It was just a conditioned reflex; as soon as she saw him lying next to her, she couldn't help but want to get up.
Seeing that she remained silent, as if in agreement, Shen Fu's face turned cold.
"In your eyes, am I such an inconsiderate person?"
Wen Jiayue paused for a moment: "No, I just haven't figured out how to answer yet."
Why do we need to think about this question?
No matter how she tried to explain it, it didn't seem quite right, so Wen Jiayue gave up struggling and simply closed her eyes.
"My lord, you should go to sleep."
Shen Fuhan did not do as she wished, but asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid of me? Or are you afraid of sex?"
Wen Jiayue frowned and said, "I already said it's because I don't want to have sex after giving birth to Zhaozhao."
"I just don't believe you would reject intimacy with me."
His words were somewhat explicit, and Wen Jiayue bit her lip, avoiding a reply.
"Does Your Excellency really have to ask such a question in broad daylight?"
“In that case, I’ll ask again tonight,” Shen Fuhan said, staring intently at her. “Or, let’s try it tonight.”
Wen Jiayue was a little confused: "Try what?"
Shen Fuhan didn't speak, but his fingertips hooked onto her clothes, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"How will you know if you really reject it if you don't try?"
