Douluo Continent: Chrysanthemum and Demon Twins, Forced Marriage to Meng Hongchen

"Can I ask you a question?"

Perhaps because they had drunk the nuptial wine, Meng Hongchen was no longer so nervous.

Now they are able to muster up the courage to talk to Xia Yu.

However, if you look closely, you can still see some hesitation and confusion in Meng Hongchen's eyes.

Clearly, she still couldn't remain calm when facing her new husband, Xia Yu.

"Sure, go ahead and ask." Xia Yu nodded with a smile.

To be fair, Meng Hongchen truly lives up to her reputation as a noblewoman renowned throughout the Sun and Moon Empire; her innate nobility and elegance are something that nothing can conceal.

For example, even though she wasn't in good shape, her refinement and elegance were still evident. Just sitting there, she exuded grace and poise.

"Xia Yu!"

Meng Hongchen raised her eyes and looked directly at her newlywed husband. She took a deep breath and said in a slightly serious tone, "I want to know why you agreed to marry me."

"As far as I know, you shouldn't have known about this marriage beforehand, so why did you choose me as your wife out of so many people?"

These words seemed to have exhausted all of Meng Hongchen's strength; after speaking, she was completely dejected.

Even so, she forced herself to look Xia Yu directly in the eye, waiting for his answer.

"So that's what you're curious about. Okay, there's nothing wrong with that. I'll tell you why."

Xia Yu chuckled softly, calmly looking Meng Hongchen up and down before speaking in an appreciative tone.

"Because you are the right person. From any perspective, you are an impeccable choice as a wife."

"Suitable?" Meng Hongchen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"Yes, that's suitable!"

Xia Yu reached out and lifted Meng Hongchen's chin, looking at her exquisite features, and said calmly.

"Since we're going to choose a noblewoman as our wife anyway, we should naturally choose the most suitable one, and you, Meng, are the most suitable one."

"Oh, I see!"

Logically speaking, Xia Yu's words were not very pleasant, even unpleasant, and sounded like he was selecting goods.

But after hearing this, Meng Hongchen felt inexplicably relieved.

She had never known how to face Xia Yu, but now that she knew his thoughts, things were much easier.

Since he chose her as his wife because she was suitable, then she should just be a good wife.

As for other things like feelings, Xia Yu probably wouldn't care, so there's no need to worry about them.

Thinking of this, Meng Hongchen's tension and panic completely disappeared.

Suddenly, she seemed to come back to life, regaining her usual liveliness and energy.

"Xia Yu, don't worry, I will definitely be a good wife."

It's good to have no burden in your heart. Meng Hongchen smiled at Xia Yu and made a solemn promise.

Xia Yu was taken aback by this, truly shocked by Meng Hongchen's change.

But this is good too. Compared to the previous tension and dullness, he is more familiar with Meng Hongchen like this and is more willing to spend time with her lively personality.

"Since you want to be a good wife, let's start now. It's time for us to consummate our marriage."

Without hesitation, Xia Yu lowered his head, closing the distance between them.

Soon, their breaths mingled, and the faint fragrance emanating from Meng Hongchen filled Xia Yu's nostrils.

"Ah, wait a minute, when I said being a good wife, I didn't mean this kind of thing. Shall we talk about it again?"

Looking at Xia Yu's handsome face so close to hers, Meng Hongchen was extremely flustered.

She hadn't really considered this kind of thing; she subconsciously ignored it.

It wasn't until the moment arrived that she realized that being a good wife really did inevitably involve doing those shameful things with Xia Yu.

But she doesn't want to, what should we do?

For a moment, Meng Hongchen's mind was in such a mess that it felt like it was about to explode.

"Hmm, you don't want to?"

Sensing Meng Hongchen's resistance and panic, Xia Yu's voice immediately lowered.

"Dream, you are my lawfully wedded wife, you can't escape this kind of thing, be good..."

The light and shadow cast by the red candles flickered continuously under the moonlight.

As Xia Yu said, there are some things that one cannot escape from the mortal world.

A battle is inevitable.

Although both of them were novices, Meng Hongchen also possessed considerable water-based talent and was naturally adept at using water-based soul skills.

But in the end, Xia Yu proved to be more skilled, firmly grasping the rhythm of the battle and gaining absolute dominance.

Time passed slowly, and after two hours, the battle finally came to an end.

After the battle, Meng Hongchen's once noble and beautiful face was now inevitably filled with fatigue.

She was so exhausted that she fell into a deep sleep.

Xia Yu, naturally, went to rest and recuperate with a victorious smile.

The next morning.

When Meng Hongchen slowly woke up from her dream, the first thing she felt was a soreness and swelling all over her body.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Xia Yu sitting on the bed, gazing at her tenderly, which immediately stunned her.

Because every time she saw Xia Yu, she couldn't help but recall the scene from last night, and she couldn't shake it off.

That was so embarrassing; she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"woke up!"

Xia Yu ignored Meng Hongchen's blushing face and naturally reached out to straighten her disheveled hair.

"this……"

Meng Hongchen stared blankly at Xia Yu, unable to help but fall into deep self-doubt.

Why was he able to face her so naturally?

They just did those embarrassing things last night, doesn't he feel even a little bit ashamed?

Or is it due to gender differences, with boys naturally being more easygoing and therefore quickly losing interest?

She is a sensitive person, which is why she makes things difficult for herself.

"Oh dear, what am I thinking? This isn't the time to be thinking about these things. How am I supposed to face my husband, Xia Yu?"

Meng Hongchen's mind was filled with all sorts of wild thoughts, making her feel terrible.

However, in the end she followed her instincts, shyly lowered her eyes, and softly hummed in response.

"If you're up, go wash up. We still need to visit our teachers and elders later, so we can't keep them waiting."

Xia Yu affectionately pulled Meng Hongchen out of bed and they went to wash up together.

Meng Hongchen naturally let it be and obediently followed Xia Yu to get up and wash.

Soon, the two finished washing up, had breakfast, and then went to pay their respects to their elders.
