Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 510 - 297: Prince, It’s Still Early_2

Lu Chen's footsteps were light, yet it seemed as though each one trod directly into Wang Qingci's heart. Her heartbeat quickened, and within moments, Lu Chen had reached the bed and lifted Wang Qingci's red bridal veil with a jade Ruyi scepter.

By now, Wang Qingci's face was flushed with red, even her ears were a rosy hue. Lu Chen teased her, saying, "Mr. Wang, could it be that this is your first time in the bridal chamber? Why do you seem so nervous?"

Hearing Lu Chen's teasing words, Wang Qingci relaxed considerably. She looked up at Lu Chen and said, "It is indeed my first time in the bridal chamber."

Although her body and heart had long since become accustomed to Lu Chen, the things they had done before were at most pleasures between a man and a woman and couldn't be considered the bridal chamber. In Wang Qingci's view, only the act performed on the wedding night could truly be called so.

It was her first marriage, her first wedding, and of course, her first bridal chamber experience.

However, with Lu Chen's teasing, she didn't feel as nervous as before.

Lu Chen's large hand then embraced Wang Qingci's waist and directly laid her down on the bed.

Seeing this, Wang Qingci thought Lu Chen was about to do something to her. However, after he joined her on the bed, he didn't proceed with any further actions, but just embraced her slender waist, holding her quietly.

This...

Wang Qingci was taken aback.

Lu Chen was never a restrained man. Every time he caught her, she would be thoroughly handled by him. Why was it that today, he did nothing?

Wang Qingci felt puzzled in her heart.

Could it be that Lu Chen had grown tired of her?

Since their last joyful encounter in the old Prince's Mansion's study, Lu Chen hadn't touched her again, even after moving to the new city.

At first, she didn't think much of it; after all, with so many women in Lu Chen's life, it was normal for him to be too busy.

But today was their wedding day, the day she married into the Prince's Mansion. At such a time, Lu Chen was only embracing her, not engaging in any substantive acts?

Wang Qingci began to grow anxious.

Today was her first day married into the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince wasn't touching her. How could she not be concerned?

After a long while, Wang Qingci finally mustered up the courage to say, "Prince, it is still early."

The implication of Wang Qingci's words was that since it was still so early, they might as well do something enjoyable to pass the time.

However, all Lu Chen did was utter a noncommittal "Hmm" and then lay still, continuing to hold her slender waist as if he were preparing for sleep.

Seeing Lu Chen's lackluster reaction, Wang Qingci couldn't help but wonder. Perhaps the Prince hadn't slept well last night, so he was not spirited today and planned to go to bed early?

As a woman of Lu Chen, Wang Qingci was very familiar with his habits. Sometimes when Lu Chen was having too much fun, he could stay up all night, and they would often keep each other awake till dawn.

Wang Qingci thought to herself that perhaps last night, Lu Chen had been up all night with a woman from the Prince's Mansion, such as Dongfang Longyue.

Ever since Lu Chen moved to the North Country, he had been frequenting Dongfang Longyue's room, going there almost every day; clearly, Dongfang Longyue was Lu Chen's new darling.

Thinking of this, Wang Qingci's heart couldn't help but sour a little. Though she had never thought of monopolizing Lu Chen, she knew she couldn't bear his favor alone.

But the thought of getting married to Lu Chen today, only to find out that he spent last night entangled with another woman all night long, made Wang Qingci feel somewhat stifled inside.

If Lu Chen had spent any other night up all night with his women, she wouldn't have felt any discomfort, but today was their wedding day.

Wang Qingci sighed inwardly; perhaps in Lu Chen's eyes, she was just a concubine, so whether they consummated their marriage tonight was optional to him, since she already belonged to him anyway.

Just as Wang Qingci was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that the Lu Chen holding her seemed somewhat restless.

Lu Chen's chest was pressed tightly against her jade back, and because he was already holding her very close, she could clearly sense the state of Lu Chen's body.

This made Wang Qingci even more puzzled. This bastard clearly wanted to do bad things to her, so why were his hands not moving, nor was there any other action?

Could it be that he was doing this on purpose?

Could it be that he was waiting for her to take the initiative?

Or was he trying to tease her?

After contemplating for a moment, Wang Qingci felt that she couldn't keep waiting. No matter what this bastard was thinking, the consummation of their marriage had to happen today.

With that thought, Wang Qingci's jade hand reached behind her. She had to firmly grasp her own happiness before she could truly be at peace.

At this moment, Lu Chen had planned to take a short rest. He had indeed stayed up all night, but not for a woman, rather he was in the study dealing with performance reports submitted by various counties in North Country.

Having been working on the reforms in North Country for so long, he wanted to see how they were progressing, so he had officials from the counties submit their performance reports.

As for consummating his marriage with Wang Qingci, he hadn't actually planned to do it at all, especially since Wang Qingci was already carrying his child. He didn't want to do anything that might harm their child. But just as he had closed his eyes, Wang Qingci's hand began to wander.

Lu Chen then caught Wang Qingci's wrist and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wang Qingci asked, "Prince, it's still early. Aren't you going to do anything else?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen instantly understood what Wang Qingci meant.

What a bitch, she can't hold herself back when I don't make a move.

Lu Chen then rolled over, trapping Wang Qingci's body within his arms, and looked down into her eyes from above. "Mr. Wang, it's broad daylight now, and you actually want me to do that kind of thing. Are you trying to corrupt this Prince and lead me astray?"

Hearing this, Wang Qingci put on a pitiful act, gazing into Lu Chen's eyes and said, "Has the Prince grown tired of me? In the past, as soon as you caught me, you would do bad things to me no matter where we were. Today is the day I marry you, yet you don't show any sign of it."

This...

Although Lu Chen could see that Wang Qingci's pitiful look was an act, he also realized that not consummating the marriage on their wedding day could indeed cause Wang Qingci unnecessary anxiety.

So he decided not to keep it hidden from Wang Qingci and directly said, "Before we didn't have a child, we could be reckless, but now that we have a child, we can't be as wild as before."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingci was completely stunned.

What? A child?

When had she and Lu Chen had a child?
