Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Chu Yuqin didn’t continue speaking. Her face became hotter and hotter, increasingly flushed with embarrassment.

Seeing that Chu Yuqin was willing, Lu Chen immediately said, “Madam Chu, don’t worry. Although I am fond of beauty, I still have a certain level of self-control. I absolutely won’t do anything reckless.”

“If I dare to overstep, just slap me twice to bring me to my senses.”

Chu Yuqin sighed softly and then said, “Alright, then come here.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen didn’t hesitate to pull Chu Yuqin back into his embrace.

Chu Yuqin’s heart began to beat frenziedly. Last time in the study, it was Lu Chen who had forcibly kissed her, but this time it was her own consent.

Although it was willingly, Chu Yuqin still felt uneasy, fearing that Lu Chen couldn’t control himself—after all, he was a man, and she a woman.

A man and a woman alone in a room, engaging in such intimate acts—if sparks were to fly, what would they do if something actually happened?

After pulling Chu Yuqin into his arms, Lu Chen kissed her directly. Chu Yuqin could only let out muffled sounds, soon finding herself breathless from the kissing, completely limp in Lu Chen’s embrace. If he hadn’t been holding her up, she might have collapsed onto the floor.

Gradually, Chu Yuqin felt her body heating up more and more, her consciousness increasingly muddled. She tried hard to steady her restless emotions, only to find that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t control herself.

Lu Chen had always wanted to conquer Chu Yuqin, but because she was already someone’s widow, she held very traditional views on morality and had been avoiding him.

Especially after Chu Qingli came to North City, Chu Yuqin, fearing that Chu Qingli might suspect something, tried even harder to avoid him.

The more Chu Yuqin avoided him, the more Lu Chen’s thoughts about her grew.

The emotions that had built up over time erupted at this moment. The study, already converted into a warm room, grew even hotter. The firewood burned fiercely, threatening to rage out of control.

Just then, Chu Yuqin suddenly regained clarity. She realized with a shock that Lu Chen was intending to…

Chu Yuqin quickly twisted her waist, trying to break free from Lu Chen, in an attempt to bring him back to his senses too.

As they struggled, they accidentally bumped into a bookshelf, sending books tumbling down with a clatter.

Lin Wanyun, who was patrolling outside at that moment, immediately approached the study upon hearing the noise.

The study was where the North Prince dealt with official affairs. Although it was not part of the inner court, this was also a place where not just anyone could enter, and the study was guarded by the inner court security.

Hearing activity in the study, Lin Wanyun thought someone had sneaked in, perhaps to steal something.

But just as Lin Wanyun arrived at the doorway, she halted.

She was from the Mysterious Moon Palace, and although she was now the Guard Commander of the Prince’s Mansion, this didn’t mean that the North Prince trusted her completely. If she were to rashly enter the study,

she might be misunderstood by the North Prince, suspecting that she had some ulterior motive for being there. Therefore, it was inconvenient for her to enter.

Lin Wanyun then called out towards the study, “Who’s in there?”

Upon hearing the voice from outside the study, Lu Chen, who was overtaken by desire, gradually came to his senses a bit. Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, Lu Chen felt somewhat helpless.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin had affectionate eyes, a flushed face, and a weak, yielding body. If things continued, there was no telling whether he might indeed make Chu Yuqin his woman.

Unfortunately, the opportunity was missed again, as Chu Yuqin had already come back to her senses, making it inappropriate to continue.

And this was the study, a place too small and crowded for his liking; he felt rather constrained.

This was not the right place.

Then, Lu Chen coughed and said, “Madam Lin, it’s me.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s voice coming from inside, Lin Wanyun was taken aback for a moment, and she felt somewhat relieved. It was good that she didn’t barge in, or else it would have been hard to explain.

After Lin Wanyun said, “Oh, it’s Chen’er inside. I thought a thief had entered the study. Since there’s nothing amiss, I won’t disturb you.”

Although calling Lu Chen “Chen’er” still felt a bit awkward to Lin Wanyun, Lu Chen had already discussed the matter of addressing him, and now she could only call him that.

If she called Lu Chen by his title, the North Prince, he would probably say that she was intentionally keeping her distance from him.

For her, calling Lu Chen by his childhood name was not bad, as it could bring her closer to him, facilitating further cooperation with the Mysterious Moon Palace when the time came.

After Lin Wanyun left the doorway of the study,

Lu Chen’s gaze returned to Chu Yuqin in his arms, their eyes meeting with neither uttering a word for a long while.

Feeling that Lin Wanyun had moved away, Chu Yuqin finally spoke, “Chen’er, you should feel much better now, can you let go of Auntie?”

Chu Yuqin felt that Lu Chen was close to losing control. If she didn’t quickly distance herself from him, they might make a mistake soon.

Lu Chen said, “Some of the stagnant qi in my Dantian has dissipated, but I am still feeling uncomfortable in some places.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin rolled her eyes at him disapprovingly and said, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re talking about, go find Zixuan or the others, let me go right now.”
