Chapter 185: Chapter 138: It’s Been So Long, It Should Be My Turn
’Why did I have to be so arrogant and use my Cultivation to bully this guy back then?’
’Great, now this guy’s Cultivation has skyrocketed, leaving me far behind. If we still allocate Nuannuan’s time based on Cultivation, how many days will it be before I can even touch her hand?’
Si Xie was filled with regret, but now wasn’t the time for self-recrimination. The most pressing matter was to fight for his benefits.
So, he shamelessly tried to make an excuse.
"That was what we said before, but you didn’t agree, right? If you didn’t agree, it doesn’t count. In any case, Nuannuan is mine for these three days. After that, we’ll start taking turns."
Hearing this, Fu Yuan’s lips curved into a cold sneer.
’Heh, so arrogant back then, but now he knows about taking turns?’
’Too bad. It’s too late!’
"You once said that among Beastmen, the strong are revered. I agree with that. The weak, indeed, do not deserve a wife. So, you can go have a nice sleep. Nuannuan is mine."
As his words fell, he waved a hand, and an immense power descended. Si Xie felt as if he’d been hit with a sleeping drug. He was so drowsy his mind went blank, and his eyelids felt too heavy to lift.
"Damn... you..."
Realizing something was wrong, he shook his head forcefully and glared angrily at Fu Yuan. He had just managed to utter two words before he collapsed to the floor.
’Tsk, no wonder everyone says the strong are to be revered.’
’With great power, you really can do whatever you want, achieving any goal directly and effectively.’
Fu Yuan scoffed, bent down to pick up the unconscious Si Xie, and unceremoniously tossed him onto the sofa.
"You’d better cultivate properly. Otherwise, you might not even get to touch Nuannuan’s finger in the future."
「The Bathroom」
Jiang Yunnuan lay in the warm bathtub, her exhausted body relaxing as she grew a little drowsy.
CREAK...
The door was pushed open. Her consciousness snapped awake, and as she lifted her eyelids, she saw Fu Yuan walking in.
"What are you doing here? Where’s Si Xie?"
She asked in surprise, a strange feeling bubbling up inside her.
’That guy Si Xie is so clingy and jealous. How could he possibly agree to let Fu Yuan come upstairs alone?’
’Knowing his personality, even if he couldn’t win a fight, he would have at least put up a struggle.’
"You didn’t do something to him, did you?"
After thinking it over, Jiang Yunnuan couldn’t come up with any other explanation.
Fu Yuan smiled faintly. He reached out to unfasten his shirt and pants, and in an instant, he was completely naked, his movements exceptionally graceful.
With a long stride, he stepped into the tub and scooped her into his arms.
"You said we’re a family. Of course I wouldn’t do anything to him. He just has low Cultivation and couldn’t handle the long journey, so he got tired and fell asleep."
Jiang Yunnuan: "..."
’Does he take me for an idiot?’
"Liar. You put him to sleep, didn’t you?"
"Sigh. I really can’t hide anything from my Nuannuan. What am I to do with someone so clever?"
He sighed, feigning annoyance, as he leaned in and gently pecked the corner of her lips.
Jiang Yunnuan put a hand over his mouth and said with a frown, "How could you do that? How upset will he be when he wakes up?"
’Heh, that guy’s upset? What’s that got to do with me?’
’When I was the one who was upset, it’s not like that guy ever cared.’
Fu Yuan narrowed his eyes, a dark glint flashing through his black-blue irises. He pulled her hand down and placed it on his chest.
"What else was I supposed to do? If he were awake, would he allow us to be this intimate? I’m your legitimate Contractor. You can’t just keep me from touching you, right? It’s been so long. Even if we’re taking turns, it should be my turn by now!"
"I’m not!"
Jiang Yunnuan quickly defended herself.
He nodded in agreement. "Mm, I know you’re not keeping me from touching you. But you’re soft-hearted. You’re a total sucker for his whining. As soon as Si Xie acts cute and plays the victim, your heart just aches for him~"
"He’d deliberately try to sabotage us. Could you really ignore his feelings and do... this... with me? You can’t!"
"Comparatively, making him watch us while he’s wide awake would only be more painful for him. The reason he can’t accept me now is simply because he’s never seen me with you!"
"When you were abducted by Jun Yao, that cave was filled with *that* kind of scent. You think he couldn’t guess what you two did? He definitely could. So why wasn’t he sad or upset when he saw you again?"
"Because he knew what’s done is done. It had already happened. Even if he was in pain, even if he threw a huge fit, it would have been useless. Once we do it a few more times, he’ll slowly come to accept reality. It’s better to rip the band-aid off. This is a pain he has to go through sooner or later, don’t you think?"
Jiang Yunnuan nodded. "You’re right. I just..."
"You just can’t bring yourself to be cruel. You love Jun Yao the most, you like Si Xie the most, and you admire Yan Chen the most, right? You like Si Xie, so you can’t bear to see him dejected and upset. But what about me? Jiang Yunnuan, I’m your Contractor too."
He narrowed his eyes, and a hint of pain surfaced in their deep, sapphire-blue depths, making Jiang Yunnuan feel incredibly guilty.
She threw her arms around his neck, planted an appeasing kiss on his lips, and apologized in a soft voice.
"I’m sorry. Please, don’t say any more. It’s my fault. I don’t know how to balance my feelings..."
Before she could finish, he cut her off, shaking his head and speaking softly.
"No, it’s not that you don’t know how to balance things. You’re just unwilling to take the initiative to love someone. You only consider returning affection after someone else loves you first. Whether it’s Jun Yao, Si Xie, or Yan Chen, they all showed their affection for you first, and only then did you reciprocate appropriately."
"I’m certainly not as good at expressing affection as Si Xie. Ever since he fell for you, he’s been showing his love for you nonstop, spoiling you absolutely rotten. I completely understand why you like him the most~"
"But Nuannuan, from the moment I decided against Contract Termination, you became the most important person in my life. I will never be apart from you. So, I hope... that you can love me."
The more he spoke, the guiltier Jiang Yunnuan felt.
’She really was a bit like he described. She liked those who liked her first. She’d never thought there was anything wrong with that before, but now she saw that he had been terribly wronged by it.’
"Mm, I do like you, really. If you haven’t felt it, maybe it just wasn’t enough. So, from now on, I’ll like you more, and love you more... okay?"
"Okay. In that case, why don’t you show me right now?"
He raised an eyebrow, and a smile finally colored his stunning, ocean-like eyes, so beautiful it was dazzling.
As if bewitched, Jiang Yunnuan’s heart pounded fiercely. She took his hand, gently placed it on her own full, perky breast, then cupped his face and kissed him with force.
A bewitching fragrance washed over him. The feeling in his hand—tender, smooth, and supple—was incredible, instantly overwhelming his reason.
His throat bobbed. Gripping her slender, soft waist, he kissed her back with fervor.
The pressure in his hand gradually increased, caressing and kneading as if he couldn’t get enough. As if a natural, his movements became varied and incredibly skillful.
The temperature in the air rose higher and higher.
Soon, Jiang Yunnuan’s body went limp, and she murmured hazily.
"Fu Yuan... let’s... go to the bed..."
