Ye Huohuo's lips were slightly cool, and the sweet scent of cherries still lingered in her mouth.
Before she could finish speaking, her words were completely blocked by Li Mohan's scorching lips. He ravaged her mouth, his large hands restlessly wandering over her curves.
The two were quickly ignited by each other; reason and calmness were garbage to be discarded far away.
Now they only had desire, naked desire.
Two silk pajamas of the same color and texture were entangled on the floor by the bed, just like the two people on the bed.
Their breaths mingled, and sweat and tears flowed together. The gentle treatment in the illusion was truly not Li Mohan's style.
As gentle as his kiss was, his actions were even more fierce.
After being pushed to her limit time and again, Ye Huohuo began to regret it. She really should have listened to him and gone to sleep honestly.
That way, she wouldn't have been tossed around with no power to fight back, like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, repeatedly devoured by the lustful wolf.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, or perhaps fainted. In any case, when she woke up again, her entire body felt like it had been dismantled.
She checked the time and it was already past ten o'clock. This was truly embarrassing. How would the other members of the Li family look at her? Although it wasn't the first day she was living here.
But last night was considered their wedding night. Waking up so late in the morning…
How embarrassing!
Ye Huohuo looked at herself in the mirror in the bathroom. Her body was covered with traces of the passion from the night before.
Her legs were still weak.
She dried herself with a towel and cursed at herself in the mirror, "You just had to be nosy, you deserved it, getting dealt with!"
She had just taken a cold shower, and now she was completely awake.
Li Mohan's strangeness from last night surfaced in her mind.
No, he was definitely not normal last night.
At first, he was clearly avoiding her, not wanting to have relations with her. Later, rather than a proper wedding night, it was more like an emotional release.
That kind of near-mad release, as if last night was the end of the world.
No, something must have happened.
Connecting everything that happened before.
It seemed wrong from when he received that call while drying her hair yesterday.
After he finished the call, he seemed troubled and left in a hurry. Even more suspicious was that at such an important occasion yesterday, he could meticulously prepare such fitting and comfortable clothes and shoes for her, but he didn't come to the door to pick her up.
Instead, he had Li Moyan come out to pick her up, and he arrived a bit breathless in the end.
Last night at the banquet, Ye Huohuo's attention was focused on the three women from the Ye family, and she didn't notice such obvious anomalies.
Now that she thought about it, he must have run over at that time. What could make a person who could remain calm and composed even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him be late to his own engagement banquet and need to run?
No, these details that she hadn't noticed yesterday now seemed extremely strange.
It wasn't in Ye Huohuo's style to ignore these things that needed to be figured out, to be kept in the dark.
She raised her hand and tried to calculate, but unfortunately, even the strongest diviner cannot calculate their own affairs. This was a taboo in her profession.
She calculated for a long time and got nothing. Even trying to calculate Li Mohan yielded the same result. She guessed it was because a red thread connected them, making them akin to sharing the same fate.
Just as she was about to give up, her little finger involuntarily twitched again.
Could it be that the incident with the Ye family yesterday wasn't the one she had been warned about with her little finger twitching?
In other words, there was still something that would cause Ye Huohuo trouble or harm?
What could it be? She was even more curious. This was the experience she had accumulated over the years of fighting against misfortune. Identifying impending dangers in advance and taking precautions could minimize the harm that misfortune brought to her.
However, seeing Li Mohan's state yesterday, if she ran over to ask him in person, he definitely wouldn't say anything.
Therefore, after a moment of thought, Ye Huohuo chuckled. She efficiently tied her semi-dry hair into a half-bun. She still didn't have the habit of drying her hair. Then she opened the wardrobe and was stunned.
The entire wardrobe was filled with clothes in her size, covering everything from winter to summer, and almost all styles were included. What surprised her the most was that they were all in her favorite colors.
Had Li Mohan prepared these in advance?
She had never imagined that one day she would have so many clothes. This…
She had an urge to try on all these clothes, but she had more important things to figure out, so she suppressed this thought, saving it for later when she had free time.
She picked out a goose-yellow casual outfit. When she put it on and looked in the mirror, she felt like one of those chirping chicks. Cute, she liked it!
Normally, Ye Huohuo didn't like to wear clothes that were too light in color. It wasn't that she disliked them, but she had few clothes, and often encountered danger. Light-colored clothes would get dirty in an instant and often couldn't be washed clean.
But now she had so many clothes that even if she changed five outfits a day, she would still have plenty. So she unhesitatingly put on an outfit in a color she liked but had never dared to wear.
As Ye Huohuo walked out of Li Mohan's room, she coincidentally met Sister Mei, who was wiping the handrail.
Before Ye Huohuo could speak, Sister Mei smiled mysteriously, "Why aren't you sleeping in a little longer? The young master specifically instructed us not to disturb you before he left this morning, telling us to let you sleep until you wake up naturally.
There's a call bell on the bedside table in the young master's room. If you don't want to leave the room anymore and need anything, just press that bell, and I'll have someone deliver what you need."
Sister Mei's words weren't inappropriate in themselves, but her knowing smile made Ye Huohuo's face flush instantly. "Sister Mei, I, I didn't do anything, there's nothing I can't go out for."
"Haha, you're still like a young girl, blushing already. It seems the old master's wish to hold his great-grandchild is about to be fulfilled!" Sister Mei laughed to herself and continued her work, ignoring Ye Huohuo, who had turned as red as a ripe apple.
Ye Huohuo let out a long sigh and rubbed her face hard with her hands, trying to compose herself.
But before her hands could fall, she saw Old Master Li standing at the staircase, looking at her with an extremely kind smile.
The old man was holding a brush in his hand, and the study door was beside him. He had clearly heard Ye Huohuo's voice and rushed out to see her.
The ink on the brush should have just been dipped, and the ink on the tip was about to drip.
Seeing this, Ye Huohuo quickly ran over and took the old man's brush, holding the tip upwards, letting the ink flow back into the brush.
"Grandpa Li, the ink on your brush is about to drip onto the floor!"
Old Master Li chuckled, not caring about such things. Instead, he turned his head and sternly corrected Ye Huohuo, "You're already part of the Li family, why are you still calling me Grandpa Li!"
Ye Huohuo pursed her lips, and the heat that had just subsided on her face rushed back. "Grandpa!"
She felt like a freshly cooked shrimp right now, bright red and steaming.
"Alright, this old man won't tease the child anymore. I should go back to practicing my calligraphy. It's so late, you must be hungry, Sister Mei!"
Sister Mei, who was in the hallway, responded and walked over, "What is it, sir?"
"Hurry up and prepare breakfast for my granddaughter-in-law… uh…" The old man looked at the sky. It was almost noon. "If it's any later, it should be lunch!"
Ye Huohuo wanted to find a hole to crawl into, her face red, she tentatively asked, "Grandpa, how about I eat later and accompany you for lunch!"
The old man waved his hand, "No need. This old man is old and usually eats only two meals a day. Besides, eating with an old man like me is really boring. You go eat by yourself!"
After speaking, Old Master Li entered his study. "Oh? Wait, Huohuo, wait a moment, this old man still has something to give you…"
