Chapter 55: Zhang Meng Won’t Force Him
“Zhang Meng, let’s consummate our marriage.”
Xu Lu Cha’s breath was close, his lips intimately brushing against the corner of Zhang Meng’s mouth, his soft voice reaching her ears.
Zhang Meng turned her face away, avoiding his lips, wanting to push him away, but her hand hesitated halfway and lowered again.
“Lu Cha, I…” The words of refusal wouldn’t come out, Zhang Meng didn’t know what to say.
After seeing Xu Lu Cha’s alluring dance, she had anticipated that he would make this request of her. She also knew that it was normal for married couples to engage in intimate activities, but she still felt uncomfortable. It wasn’t that she disliked it, just that she felt their relationship hadn’t reached that stage yet.
Seeing her hesitation, half of Xu Lu Cha’s passion cooled. He had finally worked up the courage to proposition her, yet she hesitated.
He wasn’t some fearsome beast, after all. He was beautiful, with a good figure. If she were a normal woman, she should be pushing him down.
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. His beautiful eyes glistened with unshed tears, but he held them back.
“Zhang Meng, today the uncles asked about our bedroom affairs, I didn’t know how to answer.”
“Zhang Meng, don’t you like me?”
Xu Lu Cha’s expression looked hurt, Zhang Meng couldn’t bear it and reached out to pat his head: “Lu Cha, I do like you.”
She kissed Xu Lu Cha’s cheek and said awkwardly: “If you want to do it now, I suppose we could…”
Not knowing why she said those words, Zhang Meng’s face quickly turned red and hot as if rubbed with chili oil.
Perhaps she couldn’t bear to see his disappointed look, couldn’t bear to reject him.
Although she regretted saying those words, she still didn’t take them back.
Since they were already married, this kind of thing was unavoidable.
Hearing her words, Xu Lu Cha couldn’t contain his excitement. He quickly pulled open his clothes, undid his belt, and was about to take off his pants.
Realizing that Zhang Meng was staring at him wide-eyed, his face suddenly turned bright red.
He modestly pulled his pants back up a bit, and pulled up his clothes that had slipped down to his waist, gathering the lapels.
Zhang Meng coughed dryly: “Lu Cha, why don’t we turn off the lights?”
“Alright,” Xu Lu Cha answered modestly.
After the lights were extinguished, darkness suddenly enveloped the entire room. Zhang Meng couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Although they had already been intimate before, that time Zhang Meng had been the initiator. But that time was under the influence of drugs, she had lost her senses when touching Xu Lu Cha.
Now in a clear-headed state, she simply didn’t have the courage to actively touch Xu Lu Cha.
Sitting beside her, Xu Lu Cha’s breathing was heavy. His cold fingers tentatively brushed against Zhang Meng’s hand.
“Zhang Meng, I’m not this immodest with just anyone.” His voice was shy with a hint of anxiety.
“Mm.” Zhang Meng softly acknowledged.
“Zhang Meng, I love you more than anyone else in the world…” Xu Lu Cha shyly confessed.
“…I know.”
In the darkness, only Xu Lu Cha’s silhouette could be vaguely seen. Xu Lu Cha slowly moved closer to Zhang Meng, his cold lips gently touching her cheek and the corner of her mouth.
Zhang Meng’s body was stiff, allowing Xu Lu Cha to kiss her, not knowing how to respond.
Xu Lu Cha was breathing lightly, murmuring softly: “…Zhang Meng, take me…”
“Hm?” Xu Lu Cha’s voice was too soft and unclear, Zhang Meng couldn’t hear clearly.
Xu Lu Cha didn’t want to repeat those words. He reached out to hug Zhang Meng’s neck, gently licking her lips.
He couldn’t let Zhang Meng see his immodest side anymore. After this initiative, he would reclaim the etiquette of a young master. He wanted to become Zhang Meng’s best husband, considerate and gentle, reserved and graceful. He wanted Zhang Meng to completely change her bad impression of him.
Xu Lu Cha’s cold lips gradually moved down, lightly kissing Zhang Meng’s neck. His hands caressed her back.
With a “clang”, the chair was knocked over. Xu Lu Cha pressed Zhang Meng down on the ground, his clothes half-removed, straddling Zhang Meng’s waist with parted legs.
The swelling below pressed tightly against Zhang Meng’s lower abdomen. He leaned down, gently nibbling on Zhang Meng’s collarbone.
Zhang Meng panted, uncomfortably reaching out to push Xu Lu Cha away. Xu Lu Cha grabbed her hand and gasped: “What’s wrong?”
“Lu Cha…” She had barely begun to speak before she couldn’t continue. She simply couldn’t bear to reject Xu Lu Cha.
“It’s nothing…” Zhang Meng said.
She slowly relaxed her body, trying to drive away her nervous emotions.
The ties of her undergarment were undone, and Xu Lu Cha’s lips lingered on Zhang Meng’s chest.
The gentle licking sensation made Zhang Meng’s body stiffen. Although Xu Lu Cha’s kissing technique was inexperienced, it was exceptionally gentle. She could feel Xu Lu Cha’s boundless tenderness towards her.
However, she still couldn’t…
Xu Lu Cha undid Zhang Meng’s belt, about to remove her pants. Zhang Meng instinctively gripped the waistband tightly, not letting him take them off.
“Lu Cha, let’s still…” She finally couldn’t help but speak words of refusal.
She still couldn’t consummate their marriage with him. For her, it was too fast. She and he had only been in a relationship for a dozen days.
But before she could finish her words of refusal, Xu Lu Cha had already let go of her pants.
Completely naked, he slowly got up from on top of her, picked up the clothes thrown on the ground, and slowly put them on.
“…Lu Cha?”
Xu Lu Cha’s breathing had not yet calmed. He sat next to Zhang Meng with his back against the table leg, knees bent.
“Zhang Meng, I won’t force you.”
After saying these words, he silently wiped away the moisture at the corner of his eye. It was impossible not to feel wronged. When he was intimate with her, he had become aroused, his whole body hot as if about to explode. Yet she was stiff all over, rejecting his touch, seemingly wanting to push him away.
“Lu Cha…” Zhang Meng felt guilty.
Holding back tears, Xu Lu Cha said: “You’re just a fool, not knowing to take a beauty throwing himself at you.”
“…”
“Zhang Meng, even if you don’t want to touch me, I still love you so much.” He really loved her so very much. So apart from leaving her, he would never force her to do anything, and didn’t want her to feel troubled.
Zhang Meng sat up and grabbed his hand, gently kissing it.
“Lu Cha, give me some time to fall in love with you. Alright?” She knew how passionate Xu Lu Cha’s feelings for her were. It was precisely because she knew that she could understand Xu Lu Cha’s insecurity. But even so, she couldn’t immediately return the same feelings to him.
Since she had agreed to marry him, she had the intention of spending a lifetime with him.
A lifetime was very long, she had plenty of time to fall in love with him. So: “You don’t need to feel insecure, I will never leave you.”
Xu Lu Cha wiped away his tears and said: “Promise me, never leave me.” He moved closer to Zhang Meng, leaving a light kiss on her cheek.
Although right now he really wanted to lie down and let Zhang Meng take him, although that part between his legs was still hard as iron. But he still prepared to take care of it himself.
With Zhang Meng right beside him, he thought for a moment, and still went behind the screen. Although she had seen him pleasuring himself before – she had even taught him how to do it – he was determined to reshape his image as reserved in front of Zhang Meng, so he couldn’t show his passionate and lustful side in front of her anymore.
However, Xu Lu Cha overestimated his self-control. When he gripped that part and started stroking, even though he bit down on his curled fingers, he still let out suppressed gasps and moans.
Especially at the crucial moment, thinking that Zhang Meng was just behind the screen, he almost cried out loudly in excitement.
Zhang Meng was forced to listen to an intense Xu Lu Cha-style spring palace performance. She pretended she couldn’t hear anything, lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
She had thought that hearing Xu Lu Cha’s gasps and moans would keep her awake. But unexpectedly, she fell asleep very quickly.
