After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 259 An Insufficient Affection
"Waiter, book a room at the inn."

A large group of people passed through Jinzhou. The distance between Nanyue and Beilin was two months' journey, including a sea crossing.

After traveling for three days, Shi Nuanyu's back and legs ached and she felt weak. Sitting in a carriage for a long time was pure torture.

"There are still two months to go. By the time we get to Beilin, my legs will be useless sooner or later."

Shi Nuanyu rubbed her lower back as she walked to the bathtub. Taking a nice bath and getting a good night's sleep was the most important thing.

"I'm a little duck, quack quack..."

The window clicked open, and a cold wind blew in, but the woman in the bathtub was oblivious to the noise as she soaked in the tub, completely absorbed in her bath.

"Your wife has such a leisurely and elegant taste that I, your husband, am quite envious."

A familiar voice reached her ears. Shi Nuanyu was soaking in the bathtub and looked out the window. The man was leaning against the window, smiling at her.

"Yu Changfeng, what brings you here?"

It's been a long time since we last met, and I always dream about him in the middle of the night. Putting aside those unspeakable grudges, he is a man I can entrust my life to.

Yu Changfeng slowly approached, his gaze lingering on her exposed skin. He walked behind her, picked up a handkerchief, and began to wipe her shoulders.

"Upon receiving news that Nuannuan had been sent as an envoy to Beilin, I rushed here day and night, hoping to bring Nuannuan to my territory as soon as possible."

He would never tell her the truth, fearing that the Imperial Advisor Qinghe would seize her first and he wouldn't even get a sip of soup.

Now that they've caught him, they certainly won't let him succeed so easily; in the end, only he will be left behind.

Shi Nuanyu turned to look at him and rolled her eyes without any politeness.

"Will you treat me well when I go to your territory? Don't let rumors spread that Prince Yu Changfeng of Beilin has three wives and four concubines."

They must belong to her before she wants them.

Yu Changfeng chuckled and gently pinched the tip of her nose. "The Crown Princess is afraid of being alone and keeps you on her heels by keeping a mistress. Speaking of mistresses, those women around the Crown Princess are quite annoying."

He had tolerated it before, but now that he knew the truth, he couldn't let them off the hook. They had better be sensible and leave on their own.

Realizing the problem, Shi Nuanyu questioned him with doubt.

What did you do to Ah Ling?

Logically, with such a commotion in the room, Ah Ling should have appeared long ago.

Why worry about him?

Yu Changfeng pulled out his belt and stepped into the bathtub under Shi Nuanyu's shocked gaze, wrapping his arms around her waist and holding her in his arms.

“I am not so incapable of not even accommodating one concubine. I struck his pressure points and threw him into the next room.”

He leaned down and took her earlobe into his mouth, his nose slowly rubbing against the side of her neck.

"After not seeing each other for several months, I miss that warm feeling so much."

Having tasted the sweetness, he longed to devour her whole. The woman in his arms was too fickle; he wanted to throw away all the others who were an eyesore.

The man's hot breath enveloped her entire body, and Shi Nuanyu lay in his arms, afraid to move, lest things escalate into something more intimate.

"Yu Changfeng, can't you just put up with it?"

She rushed here day and night to see her, could it be for this very reason? She quietly moved her body to try and get away, but a large hand grabbed her waist, followed by a threatening voice.

"Move again, and I'll take you right here."

Yu Changfeng pressed her down onto the bathtub, showering her with passionate kisses, greedily savoring her scent.

"This guy is most prone to talking nonsense. I am not a saint or a gentleman, and I can't remain unmoved by the presence of my beloved."

After two months of patience, he had already reached his limit; it would be a lie to say he wouldn't touch her.

The suffocating kiss robbed her of the last bit of air in her mouth, and Shi Nuanyu pushed his shoulder to try and get a little more air.

"Didn't you say you weren't here?"

Yu Changfeng scoffed, deliberately misinterpreting her meaning.

"If not, go to bed right now."

He slept until noon the next day.

Shi Nuanyu woke up groggily to find the man beside her still kissing her shoulder. She impatiently slapped him.

"Are you ever going to stop? Isn't one night enough?" Her bones felt like they were going to fall apart, and the man beside her held her tightly as if he couldn't get enough of her.

Yu Changfeng nuzzled her neck, then stroked the marks he had left on his arm with satisfaction.

"One night is not enough; the days and nights that Nuannuan owes me are not enough."

If possible, I really want to lock her up and keep him company alone.

Meeting her impatient gaze, Yu Changfeng stopped what he was doing and put his arm around her waist.

"I'll be generous this once, and Nuannuan will make it up to me later."

Shi Nuanyu rolled her eyes and pinched his waist, "This prince can't stand His Highness's unrestrained demands."

For some reason, she always felt like throwing a tantrum whenever she saw Yu Changfeng.

Yu Changfeng held her hand and played with it, then picked her up and walked to the table to sit down.

“One night was all-out, Nuan Nuan didn’t see my prowess,” he said, giving her a kiss with obvious concern. “Which body, mine or those six mistresses’, satisfies Nuan Nuan more?”

His narrow eyes were fixed on her, afraid that she would say something that would displease her. It was a matter of male dignity; how could he be outdone by someone else?

How is she supposed to answer this question? Everyone's feelings are different. If she says he's good, it will upset others, and she'll be the one who suffers in the end.

Shi Nuanyu blinked innocently, cupped his face, and kissed him repeatedly.

"Are you hungry? I'm so hungry. You used up all my energy last night, and my back is so sore."

Seeing her rarely act coquettishly, Yu Changfeng's heart almost melted, and he kissed and rubbed the tip of her nose.

"I'm always good at changing the subject, so of course I won't let my beloved Nuannuan go hungry."

Having finally escaped a disaster, Shi Nuanyu breathed a sigh of relief and struggled to get off him. Yu Changfeng, having finally managed to hold her, was not about to let her succeed. He carried her behind the screen.

"Yu Changfeng, what are you going to do?"

Shi Nuanyu glared at him warily, worried that if he continued, she would ruin her back.

“You,” Yu Changfeng helped her put on her clothes, “do you really think I’m such a tactless person?”

Even if you want him, you know what restraint is, and you would never tire your beloved.

Hearing the sound of the door being opened outside, Shi Nuanyu peeked out. The aroma of food wafted over, making her already hungry stomach even hungrier.

She tugged at his sleeve shyly.

"I misunderstood you. His Highness the Crown Prince is magnanimous and won't hold it against me, right?"

Yu Changfeng chuckled softly and kissed her forehead affectionately.

"You woman, you know perfectly well that I can't bear to be angry with you."

Shi Nuanyu readily admitted, "Yes, that's why I did it on purpose."

I pulled him to the table and sat him down, eagerly picking up my chopsticks.

"Jinzhou is really a great place. The food is exactly the same as that in Kyoto, and even better."

Seeing her eating so happily, Yu Changfeng started eating as well.

"Jinzhou is most famous for its cuisine, and most of the top chefs in Kyoto come from Jinzhou."

"If it's that good, then I'll have to eat more."

Shi Nuanyu picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, took a bite, and then tried to feed it to him.

Yu Changfeng paused slightly, slowly lowered his head, and was about to eat when Shi Nuanyu seemed to remember something and quickly stuffed the osmanthus cake into her mouth.

"I forgot, you can't eat osmanthus cake."

The book mentions that he was allergic to osmanthus cake, and eating even one piece would have nearly killed him.

Yu Changfeng's gaze darkened slightly as he feigned indifference and probed.

"How did Nuan Nuan know that I can't eat osmanthus cake?"

Only he and the former Princess Nanyue knew about this matter. Since they were not the same person, how could she know so thoroughly?

A few more chapters will begin the bloodbath.
