"Ungrateful?" Alaric Yun smiled faintly.
"My lady, perhaps you don't understand me. I have never been someone who forgets kindness. I always repay kindness when it's shown to me. Right now, I'm simply repaying a debt. There's no betrayal here, so don't misunderstand."
Pearl Su felt like smoke was coming out of all her pores from rage… she tried to hold it in…
She stared at him. "This is repaying kindness with hatred."
"This is me repaying kindness. You misunderstood again," Alaric Yun replied calmly without missing a beat.
Pearl Su felt like her brain had short-circuited from anger. She regretted everything!
She shouldn't have been tempted by the thousand taels of gold. She definitely shouldn't have let his good looks confuse her. She must have been out of her mind to save him.
Ah… she regretted it so much.
Alaric Yun watched her reaction with amusement in his eyes and a smile on his face.
"If you treat kindness like this, I'll hate you," Pearl Su said coldly, her face expressionless.
A flicker passed through Alaric Yun's eyes. He smiled. "Since I married you this way, I won't take those words to heart. My lady, just focus on being the lady of the marquis household."
Pearl Su felt completely drained…
She stared at his strikingly handsome face and coldly repeated, "I will hate you."
Alaric Yun chuckled softly. "Don't worry, my lady. I will love you for a lifetime. You will always be my beloved wife."
Pearl Su was speechless. She couldn't reason with him.
His long, beautiful hand reached out again, touching her lips. Her rosy lip tint glowed on her full lips, bright and tempting.
Alaric Yun's heart stirred with heat. He turned and poured two cups of wine at the table, then brought them over.
He held one cup in his hand and placed the other into Pearl Su's, guiding her to hold it.
She didn't grip it well, and it started to slip. Alaric Yun grabbed her hand and helped her hold the cup, his perfect face lit with a relaxed smile.
"Come now, my lady. Let's drink our wedding wine."
Then he raised her hand with his, interlocking their arms.
He drank his cup first, then lifted her hand and brought the cup to her lips.
When she had taken a sip, Alaric Yun suddenly leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, transferring the wine from his mouth into hers, their breaths mingling.
The wine cup fell to the floor. Pearl Su was pulled into his embrace, her head held firmly, lips locked with his, breath intertwined.
Only after every drop of wine between them had been passed did Alaric Yun release her.
His face was radiant with a wicked smile. "My lady tastes delightful. Do you think I taste delightful too?"
Pearl Su could still taste the bitter wine and the lingering flavor he left behind. Hearing his words made her even angrier.
What kind of nonsense was that? She had been so shocked by his sudden move that her brain completely froze.
This bastard couldn't even drink wine like a normal person. He just had to pull something like that. He was truly a dog.
Now her lips still held the heat and sensation of their contact. She was furious.
She sneered coldly, as if saying: "You? I'm not impressed. You're nothing."
Alaric Yun didn't care at all about her disgust. His hand, still around her waist, squeezed gently as he smiled with ease.
"Looks like you're not satisfied. Before, you always teased me, driving me mad with desire. Today, let me return the favor and show you what it feels like to be driven mad. How about that?"
Pearl Su stared straight into his handsome face, now dangerously close.
When had she ever teased him? Never. She always kept her distance, okay?
She had only played a few small tricks on him, making him suffer a little. That's all.
Pearl Su thought back, confused. Why did this annoying man insist on marrying her now? When did he even start liking her?
What was there about her that he liked? She had no background here, her looks were just okay, her personality wasn't great either. She shamelessly made him do tiring chores...
Seeing the confused look on her face, and those lips now bright red from the wine, Alaric Yun's eyes darkened and he laughed with satisfaction.
"My lady, you really are a sight to behold right now. Come, let me show you what it means to lose control."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Pearl Su had been deep in thought and didn't expect it. By the time she reacted, he was already moving inside, sweeping away the faint bitterness of the wine, replacing it completely with his masculine scent.
Then he tangled with her again. Sometimes like a storm, sometimes gently.
It made her let out a soft whimper.
Mmm…
That sound seemed to excite him more, making his movements switch between rough and teasing, always playing with her, deliberately making her let out more sounds.
When he finally felt satisfied, Alaric Yun stopped and moved away from her lips. He chuckled, charming and full of amusement.
"My lady, did you now feel what it means to lose control?"
Pearl Su was no longer cold. She glared at him furiously, her face full of rage.
You bastard. She wanted to kill him. She really wanted to kill him…
Alaric Yun was delighted by the way she looked and immediately lowered his head again, pressing his lips to hers.
Pearl Su quickly clamped her mouth shut.
Suddenly, pain shot through her jaw, making her cry out. That gave him the opening to sneak in again, skillfully.
Once more, he moved around inside, sweeping and entangling with her, making her let out helpless whimpers.
Pleased, he played with even more variety, and Pearl Su could only let out faster, louder whimpering sounds.
In the end, she had to open her mouth to breathe and avoid him, but that only led to more noises escaping.
…ah…
That sound only encouraged Alaric Yun more. His attacks grew fiercer, making her whimper continuously.
He kept switching styles, until her high-pitched whimpers turned into weak, breathless ones.
Eventually, she had no more strength to struggle and could only let him do as he pleased, while whimpering through it all.
Only when he was sure she had reached her limit did Alaric Yun finally pull away from her lips, reluctantly.
His deep eyes sparkled with satisfaction as he looked at her panting and dazed expression. His voice was soft and seductive.
"My lady, don't you think it's fate? Your name has 'Yun' and so does mine. Maybe we were meant to be together."
Meant to be your ass. One day I'm going to kill you, you bastard.
Collapsed weakly in his arms, Pearl Su panted heavily, cursing in her heart.
She really wanted to yell at him, but didn't even have the strength left to speak.
She was so angry she wanted to scream at the heavens. How could something like this happen to her?
Alaric Yun ignored the fire in her eyes, held her close with pride, and smiled smugly.
He lowered his head and kissed her neck, then moved upward to her ear and whispered softly.
"My lady, on such a beautiful night, let's not waste it."
