Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
Wasn't naive
Kim Taehyung sat on the side of the bed and ran through everything that had happened in his mind, trying to recall some details that he had read in the novel. Then he removed the white handkerchief hidden under the bedsheets. Using a silver needle that he had found, Kim Taehyung pricked his ring finger, letting the blood well up and drip onto the white handkerchief. Finally, be stored the handkerchief away...
He had been orphaned at an early age in the modern world and had grown up poor. After a period of hardship and hard work, dueling back and forth with the schemes of others on his career path while learning how to be two-faced, she had finally made a better life for himself. Thus, Kim Taehyung wasn’t naive at all. In fact, he was rather smart and tenacious. He knew how to wait and observe the situation.
Although he had been hoping for a perfect and genuine romance, it didn’t mean that he was an absolute fool.
Everything that had happened just now was already enough food for thought. He was even starting to suspect that the current Jeon Jungkook could be in a similar situation as him, and was no longer the original Jeon Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung believed in himself. He wasn’t a softie that someone could just trample over.
The most important thing right now was to make sense of the situation.
That said, Kim Taehyung felt rather lucky that he had some foreknowledge of what was going to happen.
Although he wasn’t too clear on the current situation anymore, he wasn’t going to just sit there and be humiliated! If Jeon Jungkook was still the original Jeon Jungkook, then Taehyung wouldn’t mind playing nice with him and treating him as his actual husband. However, if Jeon Jungkook had changed and become a bastard, then he wouldn’t let him play around with him as he liked.
After consolidating his thoughts, Kim Taehyung burrowed into the auspicious red blankets and slipped into dreamland within a few short moments.
Jeon Jungkook (Sanlang)
“What’s the situation over there?” A tall, lanky figure hidden under the dim candlelight questioned an inconspicuous maidservant.
Maidservant
Servant: “Replying to Third Young Master, Third Young Madam has already gone to bed.”
Jeon Jungkook (Sanlang)
“What!” The hand Jeon Jungkook had been holding behind his back abruptly tightened into a fist, his knuckles turning white.
Kim Taehyung's reaction was completely out of Jeon Jungkook's predictions. He had avoided going to the bridal chamber in order to humiliate Taehyung, but he hadn’t thought that that bitch could still sleep this easily!
Recalling all the events that had happened in his past life, Jeon Jungkook felt only hatred welling up inside him. He couldn’t change his marriage, but he wouldn’t let this omega occupying the position of his legal wife and pass his days peacefully. Otherwise, how could he bear the pain Taehyung had inflicted on him in his previous life?!
While most people treasured every moment of their wedding night, Jeon Jungkook hated that this night couldn’t pass quicker. He wanted to see his good wife’s ugly expression when he wouldn’t be able to hand over the white handkerchief that acted as a viŕginity test the next day.
As expected, before the sun rose, after waking from his deep sleep, Kim Taehyung heard the soft rustling of clothes being taken off. The wedding candles were still lit up, so he could clearly see the person standing by the bed just by opening his eyes a little.
Jeon Jungkook was tall and slender, but he didn’t seem too skinny or weak. With long brows and handsome features, he exuded a heroic aura. Looking at him under the dim light, the cold and gloomy expression he had during the day was gone. Without it, he appeared as handsome as a god. He really lived up to his title of ‘Jeon Jeongukk the Fair’.
At this moment, Jeon Jeongukk finally fit with his description in the novel.
However, upon thinking of Jeon Jungkook's changes, Kim Taehyung rolled his eyes and shut them, going back to sleep once again.
Jeon Jungkook had stayed in the study for more than half the night with an uneasy state of mind. It was the start of winter, so no matter how strong and healthy he was, he still felt cold all over in the end.
He casually took off his outer robe and threw it to one side before pushing aside the curtains on the bedchamber. The scene that unfolded before his eyes caused his dormant temper to ignite again, as if it had been doused with gasoline.
Kim Taehyung was curled up in the warm blankets, sleeping soundly. His hair was slightly messy, and his lips were tilted upwards. He was clearly very comfortable, and he didn’t look the slightest bit troubled!
Meanwhile, he had been suffering in the cold study, stifled by his emotions, without even the appetite to finish his dinner.
Suddenly, Jeon Jungkook felt that his ploy to give Kim Taehyung the cold shoulder had been completely ineffective, as if he had been punching cotton.
He took in a deep breath and coldly watched the boy wrapped in the warm blankets. Then he pulled away the blankets wrapped around Kim Taehyung with a strong tug.
Kim Taehyung was already used to sleeping alone, and he liked to wrap himself up in his blankets when he slept to preserve warmth. When Jeon Jungkook tugged the blankets like that, it wasn’t only the blankets that were pulled away. Kim Taehyung rolled along with the tug and ended up sprawled over the outer half of the bed.
Jeon Jungkook let out a depressed sigh and could only bring out another set of blankets and move them over to the now empty inner part of the bedchamber. He crawled in silently to sleep.
However, the cold blankets on his body made him feel even worse. There wasn’t a single spot on his body that was warm anymore.
Kim Taehyung shifted a little and wrapped the warm blankets around himself more tightly. In Taehyung's heart, he thought to himself in bad taste that Jeon Jeongukk could simply freeze to death.
Jeon Jungkook took in a deep breath to calm himself down and shut his eyes.
However, before the icy cold blankets on Jeon Jeongukk could warm up, some older servants from the main house came to invite the newlyweds to wake up.
Senior Servant Gui was standing in the outer chamber, exchanging greetings from the two servants from the main house with her heart in her throat. If Countess Jing’an or Matriarch Jeon found out that Third Young Master had not stayed in the young mistress’ room last night, then how would the young mistress be able to comfortably live in the estate of Count Jing’an from now on?
Although Senior Servant Gui was still carefully receiving the older servants together with Xiyan, she was close to collapsing inside. Finally, she heard Kim Taehyung calling for Jingyan to enter, in a soft voice.
1. This white handkerchief is used as a test for the bride’s viŕginity. If there’s no blood on it after the wedding night, it either meant that the bride was not a virgin (a huge thing in ancient China) or that the couple had not consummated the marriage. Either one could cause the marriage to be annulled, and the bride’s future would be ruined, as well as the reputation of his family. Other families will think twice about marrying the single omegas of the bride’s family as well.
2. The bedchamber here refers to a very specific type of bed used in ancient China, called ‘qian gong chuang’,
