2.17 || Virtuous To One's Husband

                                    

                                          
Yuzhen clasped both of his hands on her back, locking her loosely in his embrace. However, Liu Qirong was a greedy one and immediately tightened her hold, her hands already coiling behind his back as well to pull him closer.
                          
He groaned in pain.
                          
Liu Qirong's eyes flew open and she immediately struggled away. The man winced, his brows fully knotted, and she could see beads of fine sweat on his face.
                          
"Isn't he... a bit too pale?" Panic rose inside her heart. She soon noticed a damp part of his robe, and immediately looked down on her own dress.
                          
Her light blue dress was already soaked with blood.
                          
"You're hurt!" Liu Qirong immediately helped him to sit and wanted to open his clothes to check on his wound. Looking at the amount of blood, it was definitely not light. For the first time in her lives, a sour feeling rose in her throat and nose.
                          
She realized she was losing her usual calm and her eyes started to blur from the tears.
                          
She was vexed to realize this was the first time she wanted to cry for a man.
                          
When her fingers had just touched the lapels of his robe, however, Yuzhen grabbed her hands. He laughed lightly, squeezing her hands in his palms, "It's just a minor wound."
                          
He was already wounded when he and his friends took the remaining Liu family members beyond the border. When he came across the Second Prince, the latter also had some guards. Yuzhen asked: "Are you worried about me?" He swallowed hard, "Do... you like me?"
                          
Only the heavens knew, her heart was doing a hundred somersaults per second. She said instead, "That was my first kiss."
                          
"In this life, at least."  After all, Hou Feihong never kissed her, merely venting his lust on her body every single time she served him in bed.
                          
Yuzhen widened his eyes in disbelief, "No way, you're married!" 
                          
She shrugged, "Believe what you will, but these precious lips were indeed a virgin just a few minutes ago," she puckered her lips slightly, causing the man to laugh. "But, that's about it. Hou Feihong never kissed me, but he was not an impotent eunuch."
                          
Both of them knew what that meant. 
                          
Yuzhen however, looked crestfallen, "I've never kissed or been intimate with anyone before."
                          
Liu Qirong stared at him in disbelief. Handsome face, tall posture, robust but lean body that could not be hidden by his attire. Did the Khaganate only have men? "You... are not impotent, right?"
                          
Yuzhen smiled and craned his neck forward instead, biting the woman's lips lightly with his teeth. When Liu Qirong let out a soft muffling voice in protest, he chuckled and kissed her lips fully, tilting his head slightly and delicately licked the soft plumpness. He could feel the woman grow soft as he proceeded to sneak his tongue to explore the cavity of her mouth.
                          
Liu Qirong's mind was blank, all her senses were focused on the euphoric feeling concentrated on her lips and the warmth Yuzhen brought into her mouth. All her limbs were soft; if Yuzhen was not holding her back with his hand, she had probably toppled to the ground.
                          
She did not realize her hand was being guided by the man towards a certain spot.
                          
Only when Yuzhen broke away from her, causing her eyes to flash with displeasure, did she finally see where her hand was being laid on.
                          
The bulge on Yuzhen's pants could clearly be felt against her palm, despite the layer of fabric. She lost her usual calm expression, a blush forming on her fair cheeks. Yuzhen grinned, "So do you think I'm impotent?"
