Chu Chu nestled comfortably against his touch, rubbing against his chest like a kitten and letting out a small yawn.
"Sleep if you're tired..." Xiao Jin Yu stroked her face. "We'll arrive in a day or two..."
"I'm not sleepy. I'll brew you another bowl of medicine."
Xiao Jin Yu held her tighter. "Tomorrow... I'm tired..."
"Alright."
"Stay with me..."
"Alright."
As Chu Chu tried to rise from his embrace to change clothes, Xiao Jin Yu didn't release her. One arm remained around her waist while his other hand found the tie of her garment. "Let me..."
His stomach still ached, making his hands tremble slightly as he slowly undid the ties. Chu Chu showed no impatience, instead planting soft kisses along his collarbone. When the collar of his Underwear blocked her path, she naturally parted the fabric, trailing kisses from his collarbone to his shoulder before moving downward. Her little tongue darted out playfully, teasing a pink nub on his left chest.
"Chu Chu..."
She looked up with innocent, dewy eyes, watching the faint blush spread across his face. His slightly parted lips looked irresistibly tempting, making her lean in to capture them. Her restless tongue traced the cool curve of his mouth until it warmed beneath her attention. Her hands instinctively slid to his waist, deftly opening his Underwear and untying the knot below his navel. With practiced ease, she stripped him completely bare before licking her lips and greedily exploring his smooth skin, as if carefully considering where to taste next.
Xiao Jin Yu had originally intended to care for her after she'd looked after him all day, feeling sorry for her exhaustion with simple tenderness. But her actions...
His breathing grew uneven, his previously chilled body now burning with heat. He could clearly feel one particular area growing especially warm... Xiao Jin Yu had always prided himself on self-control, but with this one person, in these matters, restraint seemed like a foreign concept.
The pain in his stomach blurred beneath the scorching heat. Xiao Jin Yu soon managed to undo all the fastenings on Chu Chu's clothing, caressing her well-proportioned form as if appreciating rare treasure.
Every time he examined her this closely, he discovered new wonders. Her body mirrored her personality - always vivid and vibrant, never dull... This exquisite form made his heart ache, that such perfection would be burdened with him for life...
He could no longer imagine life without her. Though knowing he might wrong her, he'd selfishly married her, claimed her, made her his own, protecting her with all his remaining strength... He would fulfill her every desire at any cost. Her joyful smile alone was enough to satisfy him.
Xiao Jin Yu kissed her treasuringly, with passionate tenderness.
"Wang Ye... Wang Ye..."
Encouraged by his response, Chu Chu grew bolder in her exploration, letting him fill her completely while allowing him to take whatever he wanted from her body.
She was his, only his, given solely to him, everything to him...
Neither knew when the carriage had stopped, only realizing when they'd both calmed that silence had fallen outside.
No hoofbeats, no wheel sounds, not even human voices.
It was deep night.
He hadn't said they could stop tonight.Xiao Jinyu instinctively pulled Chuchu back into his embrace, having just released her moments before.
"Wang Ye..."
Chuchu gently pecked his slightly flushed chest.
Xiao Jinyu frowned slightly and whispered by her ear, "Don't make a sound..."
"Hmm?"
Xiao Jinyu listened quietly for a while longer, his expression finally darkening. "Jing Yi."
No response.
Xiao Jinyu's brow tightened further. "Xiao Yue."
Still no response.
Finally, a voice couldn't hold back any longer.
"Wang Ye... Just now when Lord Jing saw Constable Leng's horse approaching, he immediately turned and ran. Constable Leng chased after him, and they haven't returned yet... Please, carry on with your business for now..."
Xiao Jinyu sighed silently with a darkened face.
"Wang Ye," Chuchu looked up at his expression that seemed both relieved and frustrated, "Who is Xiao Yue?"
"Leng Yue, the youngest daughter of General Leng, the female constable under Prince An Manor, your Brother Jing's wife..." Xiao Jinyu patted her head with a faint bitter smile, "She's the 'Little Chili Pepper' you mentioned."

"Little Chili Pepper?!"
Chuchu immediately perked up, scrambling up from the bed in one swift motion, "She's my favorite among the Nine Great Arresters!"
Xiao Jinyu used all his strength to pull Chuchu back, pulling the quilt to cover her still-naked body. He couldn't help but laugh and cry as he gave her plump bottom a light slap.
No matter how much you like her, there's no need to rush to meet her in such a...Honest state...
Having been spanked, Chuchu stuck out her tongue and buried herself in Xiao Jinyu's embrace. "I misspoke! My favorite is you!"
Xiao Jinyu completely lost his temper. "I know..."
Xiao Jinyu raised his hand and lightly knocked on the carriage wall, raising his voice to speak to those outside, "They won't be back for a while... Let's stop and rest for tonight."
"Yes, Wang Ye."
Chuchu lay against Xiao Jinyu's chest and said, "Wang Ye, let me make you something to eat. Otherwise, once the carriage starts moving again, you won't be able to keep anything down."
"I'm not hungry..." Xiao Jinyu gently patted her back, trying to coax her to sleep. "It's too late, you should sleep..."
Chuchu gave his cheek a firm kiss, broke free from his embrace, grabbed her clothes and dressed herself in the blink of an eye. "Even if you're not hungry, you still need to eat. I'm your wife, so matters of eating and dressing are my decision!" Chuchu tucked him in securely, carefully smoothing the quilt corners. "You sleep first. I'll wake you when the food is ready. After eating, you'll take your medicine, and then we'll sleep together."
"Alright, as you say..."
Because she had been thinking all along about what her long-admired "Little Chili Pepper" looked like, Chuchu didn't sleep deeply that night. Early the next morning, when she suddenly heard rapid hoofbeats outside, her eyes snapped open immediately.
