chapter 2

Yin Hua started as if facing a great enemy, her attention to her pretty manicure disappeared completely. "Lu Liuguang, you're such a pervert! It's just the first night of our marriage and you're already thinking about that kind of thing. What's next? Are you expecting me to have your baby tomorrow?"

"Exactly," Lu Liuguang replied shamelessly.

Yin Hua was so angry that she bit down on his shoulder.

Instead of annoyance, Lu Liuguang's eyes lit up in excitement. His wife was leaving her mark on him already? That's great! She could take her time. If it faded, he'd willingly let her bite again.

"Dog of a man! Even your shoulder is so hard!" Yin Hua complained, sulking, as she pounded his chest.

Lu Liuguang was totally unflappable, smirking. "You should be happy, you know. Your husband isn't just dashing and charming, but also, let me assure you, entirely functional in every way. You can tell, right?"

"Tell from what, exactly?" Yin Hua's eyes darted down before snapping back up. "I'm pure and innocent, okay?!"

Lu Liuguang smirked and, without warning, yanked off his towel.

“Ahhh!!!” Yin Hua yelped, quickly covering her eyes. “You pervert! I’m going to get eye disease!” She dove under the covers, hiding her flushed face. “Lu Liuguang! You’re shameless! Go put on some clothes and sleep on the couch!”

Under the covers, her heart was racing wildly. In her 23 years of life, this was the first time she'd ever seen that part of a man. Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, it was enough to leave her completely flustered.

Lu Liuguang casually slung the towel aside and climbed into the bed.

"Throw me out? On our wedding night? Fat chance!" he said smugly. "If I gave in now, you'd think you could order me around for the rest of our lives. That's not going to happen. And besides, who's going to sleep in the guest room? Not me! I'm your husband, and I'm staying right here with my wife."

As he settled in, his body pressed close to hers, like a living furnace.

“You’re so hot!” Yin Hua complained, squirming uncomfortably. The room’s air conditioning was blasting, but with him so close, she felt like she was melting.

And then, without warning, Lu Liuguang’s lips brushed against her bare shoulder.

“Lu Liuguang, no! I’m not ready yet!” Yin Hua gasped, her body trembling.

"Alright, I won't touch you," he muttered, his tone low and hoarse. "But I'm not sleeping anywhere else. You'll have to get used to sharing a bed with your husband."

Yin Hua could only reluctantly agree with a soft "Mhm…" Curling up stiffly, as still as a frightened rabbit.

But the awkwardness became increasingly unbearable. "Can you at least put on some pants? Who sleeps like this?!" she protested.

"I do. I forgot to mention, I always sleep naked."

"Naked?! What kind of nonsense—change your habit!"

Lu Liuguang chuckled, burying his face into the crook of her neck. "Can't change it. But you can join me. Let's both sleep naked together."

"You're impossible!" Yin Hua hissed, furiously pinching his arm.

"Ow, that hurts! Stop pinching me, wife!"

After some sulking and negotiation, Lu Liuguang finally got up, slipped on a pair of shorts, and returned to bed. He pulled Yin Hua back into the middle of the mattress as she attempted to retreat to the edge.

"Why are you avoiding me?" he teased.

"I'm not! I just like sleeping on the edge," she replied quickly.

"Bull. You've always slept right in the middle of your bed, Yin Xiaohua."

Yin Hua froze, her eyes narrowing. "How do you know that? Have you been spying on me?! Did you install hidden cameras in my room?! You creep!"

Her suspicion fueled her strength as she suddenly sat up, straddling his waist, her small hands gripping his neck. "I'll strangle you, you pervert!"

Lu Liuguang calmly lay there, smirking as her soft hands exerted themselves ineffectively. He could still breathe easily.

"That's not a bad idea," he said casually. "If you want, I can install some cameras in our bedroom tomorrow. Then, even when I'm at work, I can watch my wife anytime I want."

"You—!" Yin Hua fumed, shaking with rage.

But her position was precarious, and Lu Liuguang took advantage of it, effortlessly sliding her a little farther down his torso.

Now fully aware of just how close she was to certain areas, Yin Hua's face turned scarlet.

"Lu Liuguang, you're just using me for my genes, aren't you? You want me to give you some genius kid? Dream on! If you don't treat me right, I'll go get my uterus removed!" she declared fiercely, hammering a fist down on his abdomen.

Lu Liuguang's patience was really tried now. "Genes? Flatter yourself. I married you because I want you."

The teasing, quarreling went on, until at last, defeated by deep fatigue, Yin Hua fell into a deep slumber within his embrace.

The sun rose through the window the next morning, lighting up their parents chatting and having their breakfast downstairs.

Upstairs, Yin Hua's lashes fluttered open. Groggy and confused, the first thing she saw was Lu Liuguang's handsome face looming above her.

"What are you doing?!" she exclaimed.
