Red curtains, red bed curtains, red window paper cuttings, red bedsheets and blankets… Even everything Chu He was wearing was bright red and had an ancient charm to them.

Chu He clasped her hands together nervously, for a moment not knowing what to say! Gu Jinglian tugged at his tie slightly. He felt warm, perhaps because of the alcohol he had consumed.

It was their wedding night.

There is an ancient saying that a moment of springtime is worth its weight in gold.

However, for this couple, Gu Jinglian would probably and necessarily suffer a little! She was now pregnant with a pair of twins. As she was still in the early stages of pregnancy, it was best to avoid intimacy!

Butler Fu had reminded Gu Jinglian over and over again that they should not get intimate on their wedding night, to avoid affecting the fetus.

When it came to things relating to the children, Gu Jinglian was naturally very cautious. Hence, even though ideas came to him given the present environment, he could only relegate them to the back burner because of her pregnancy!

Chu He noticed that he was breathing heavily, but she didn’t know that it was because of the alcohol. She thought that he was suppressing himself, so she blushed and said, “Aunty Fu says that intimacy should be avoided during pregnancy. I’m afraid we can’t do that today!” Her remark was subtle..

When Gu Jinglian heard this, he turned to look at her intently. Even though the man knew what she meant, he feigned ignorance. “Do what?”

“Huh?” She played dumb.

“When you say ‘that’, what are you talking about?”

“I…” Chu He was annoyed. “Why are you asking when you know what I mean?”

“I don’t.” Gu Jinglian’s ability to act dumb was no worse than hers. “How would I know if you don’t tell me?”

At this point, his gaze fell on her face. The look in his eyes was so unfathomable and ambiguous that it overwhelmed her!

Chu He was conscious of how her face seemed to be heating up under his gaze!

“Gu Jinglian! Stop asking the obvious.”

The man completely brushed it off, however, and insisted, “I really don’t know!”

“Hmph!” Chu He snorted and turned her face away awkwardly. “It means that we can’t have sex!”

Gu Jinglian responded with an “Oh”, but his voice trailed off.

He suddenly moved closer and pinched her chin, forcing her to face him.

“You sound regretful.”

“…” Chu He turned a deep red! “What do you mean I sound regretful?”

Gu Jinglian smiled. There was an evil charm to that subtle upturn of the corners of his mouth. He was obviously teasing her. “The meaning is literal. You know what I’m talking about.”

Chu He smiled. “I wonder who feels more regretful? Left high and dry not being able to consummate the wedding night… you must be the one suffering.”

“Who says I’m left high and dry?” Gu Jinglian suddenly leaned forward, pinning her under his weight. However, being especially mindful of propriety, he did not put all his weight on her.

Unable to withstand the sudden weight, she found herself immobilized beneath him. She looked up to meet his deep gaze. As if it had magical powers, it was like a bottomless abyss that seemed to draw her soul in!

Chu He was pinned down and could not move. She wriggled around uncomfortably.

Gu Jinglian frowned. “Don’t move.”
