Well, that's quite a thing to say...
A Mei's little face suddenly flushed red. She simply buried her head in An Sheng's chest, acting coquettishly and playfully.
"Come on, husband, don't punish A Mei. Let's go to sleep quickly. Even if you're not tired, I'm sleepy."
An Sheng hooked his lips and let her act coquettishly. The voice in his arms became even softer and more shy. "You have a lot of official business to handle during the day. If you indulge in pleasure and keep going, you definitely won't be able to get up."
An Sheng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss the hair on A Mei's forehead. He gently teased, "Indulge in pleasure and keep going? What on earth are you thinking, wife?"
But A Mei lifted her head, her watery eyes blinking. She looked into An Sheng's deep, affectionate eyes, pouted her little mouth, and although she was both annoyed and shy, she said matter - of - factly, "Isn't it? Husband said he wanted to punish me. That means you want to bully A Mei, that kind of bullying."
"What kind of bullying?" An Sheng licked his lower lip and asked in return.
A Mei immediately glared at An Sheng with annoyance. Her face turned bright red, and then she suddenly turned around from An Sheng's arms, turning her back to him. She gave a coquettish snort and said, "Husband is being deliberately obtuse. What other kind of bullying could it be? Naturally, it's the kind of bullying that A Mei also likes."
A Mei only left her back of the head to An Sheng. An Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at the slightly red tips of A Mei's ears. His eyes suddenly changed. His throat went dry, and his heart was filled with lust. He whispered, "Since wife says she likes it, then it seems wife wants to be punished by me."
A Mei fell silent.
An Sheng's big hands slipped into the hem of A Mei's thin inner robe and skillfully caressed the soft fullness on her chest, kneading and playing with it gently. Then he deliberately leaned close to her ear and exhaled, "What's wrong, wife? Are you shy?"
A Mei felt a bit embarrassed. She obediently let An Sheng knead, and after thinking for a while, she still couldn't help but whisper in rebuttal, "It's not really shyness, husband. It's very late. Stop fooling around. A Mei really wants to go to sleep."
An Sheng bit down on the red - hot ear tip. His breathing became significantly heavier. The soft and delicate touch in his palm made him feel hot and restless all over.
But since A Mei had said so, he had to restrain himself and withdraw his hands. Then he turned A Mei around so that they were face to face. An Sheng gently lifted A Mei's chin with his hand, and his deep black eyes stared directly at her. His lips moved, and he slowly said,
"Alright, but wife has to promise me that after you've slept enough, you'll let me bully you, okay?"
A Mei lowered her eyes, trying not to let him see her shyness. She pouted and complained in a soft voice, "Look what you're saying, husband. When haven't I let you bully me?"
An Sheng looked extremely innocent and said, "You're not letting me now."
A Mei couldn't help but shoot An Sheng a sidelong glance. She started to pinch the soft flesh on An Sheng's waist and coquettishly accused him, "Husband is really overbearing and unreasonable. Don't you even look at what time it is? I've already said I want to go to sleep!"
An Sheng let out an "ouch" and quickly grabbed the hand that was causing trouble on his waist. He coaxed her in a flattering way, "Don't pinch, wife. I was wrong. I dare not do it again. I'll just hold my dear and go to sleep."
"Humph, at least you're sensible," A Mei gave a coquettish snort. Then she couldn't help but let out a small yawn. She wriggled her body to find a comfortable position in An Sheng's arms, slowly closed her eyes, and fell into a sweet sleep soon after.
A Mei slept for a long time. When she woke up again, her husband was no longer by her side. She sat up on the bed, stretched, and faintly heard the sound of water behind the screen.
A Mei blinked her eyes and softly called out,
"Husband~"
Immediately afterwards, the familiar voice came.
"Yes, I'm taking a bath."
A Mei immediately threw off the quilt and got out of bed. She walked over and stood beside the wooden bucket. Her eyes stared at An Sheng curiously and she asked inexplicably, "Husband, why are you taking a bath so early in the morning?"
But An Sheng didn't explain. A smile curved his lips, and he stretched out his arms towards A Mei. "The water temperature is just right. Come, this wooden bucket is big enough. Wife, come in and soak for a while."
"Well, it's good to soak," A Mei immediately took off all her clothes and stepped into the wooden bucket without any hesitation. She actively wrapped her arms around An Sheng's neck and plopped down on his lap. Soon, her little face turned pink from the steam of the hot water. She let out a sigh,
"So comfortable."
With his beloved wife in his arms, An Sheng felt happy and delighted. His hands also started to wander restlessly. As he touched her, he said, "I'll serve wife and wash your body."
A Mei obediently let out a soft "mmm". But as An Sheng's actions became more and more...
She couldn't help but tremble and gradually showed signs of shyness. She glared at him with annoyance and said, "Husband, can you wash properly?"
But An Sheng put on a solemn and upright appearance and said, "I'm washing properly. Isn't this to wash wife more cleanly and carefully?"
As he said that, his big hands started to cause trouble again. A Mei's body went limp from being touched. She let out low gasps and couldn't help but bite her lower lip gently. She moaned intermittently in a tender voice, "Husband, you're clearly doing it on purpose."
An Sheng played a prank. His nimble fingers deliberately played back and forth on the soft and perky part of her chest. He deliberately said, "How am I doing it on purpose?"
A Mei's eyes turned red from being aroused. She let out a coquettish snort. Along with the gurgling sound of the water, she simply climbed up An Sheng's neck and stood up from the wooden bucket. At this time, their positions were reversed. An Sheng was sitting and A Mei was standing.
A Mei deliberately rubbed her chest in front of An Sheng's eyes. Her actions were full of a kind of innocent charm. She was pure, shy, and charming all at once.
In her low moans, there was a hint of sweetness and dependence. She couldn't help but whisper and urge, "Husband, husband, A Mei wants a kiss."
An Sheng was facing these two trembling mounds of softness. For a moment, he stared blankly. He swallowed hard, and his voice became hoarse. "Kiss where?"
A Mei puffed out her little chest, and her soft moans became even more urgent. "Here."
An Sheng couldn't hold back anymore and opened his mouth to bite down...
...
An hour later, hot water was requested again in the room of the Imperial Envoy and his wife.
An Sheng held A Mei's spasming body after several rounds of release and immersed them both back into the warm water, carefully cleaning her.
At this time, A Mei's little red face was full of satisfaction and exhaustion. She opened her lips, and her throat was dry. "Husband, I want to drink water."
"Okay."
An Sheng quickly cleaned the muddy traces on their bodies, dried A Mei's body, wrapped her up, and carried her back to the bed. He fetched a teacup and fed the warm water to A Mei.
A Mei leaned on the bed and finished drinking the water from his hand. She gradually regained her senses from the dazed and intoxicated state. When she thought about how proactive she had been and how passionately they had been entangled, and that she had even taken the initiative... She finally felt shy belatedly.
When An Sheng put down the teacup and turned around to get back on the bed, he saw that A Mei had covered herself completely with the quilt, curled up in a bulging ball, and hidden her little face.
An Sheng couldn't help but laugh. He sat on the bed and with a sweep of his hands, he hugged her and the quilt together in his arms. He looked puzzled and asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"
After a long while, a soft and shy voice came through the quilt.
"Husband, it was so embarrassing just now."
An Sheng smiled tenderly, and his heart grew even softer. He coaxed her in a soft voice, "My dear, it's only natural for us, a loving couple, to be so affectionate. We've been married for so long. Now that we're an old married couple and as close as one entity, there's no need to be shy at home."
Being hugged and coaxed by An Sheng like this, all of A Mei's shyness faded away. She finally showed her little face and smiled coquettishly, "What my husband said is quite right."
An Sheng's lips curved up in a doting arc. "Then stop hiding. Come out quickly."
"Okay. Then, husband, go and get me a set of clean clothes."
"All right."
"Husband, will you be as busy as yesterday and work until so late today?"
"Yes. There are still quite a few things that need my attention. Wife, if you feel sleepy at night, go to bed early. There's no need to wait for me."
"Okay, I understand. If you're busy, just help me put on my clothes and then go quickly. Don't worry about me. We'll soon leave this place. Naturally, I also have to collect more tributes during these last few days. Anyway, I'm also very busy."
An Sheng: …
