We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

Yue Lingyuan originally intended to just scare her, but unexpectedly, the person beneath him suddenly began to struggle.

That one movement almost cost him his life.

Yue Lingyuan gave a bitter smile.

Is he punishing her, or punishing himself?

Yue Lingyuan grabbed the hands that were making trouble. "Don't move. I'll let go of you right now."

Wen Rushi looked doubtful.

Under her suspicious gaze, Yue Lingyuan turned to the side and lay down next to Wen Rushi.

His face was flushed, and his breathing was a little disordered. "Don't worry, I won't touch you. Go to sleep!"

Wen Rushi quickly pulled the blanket over herself, then looked at him suspiciously. "What you just did makes it hard for me to believe you!"

Yue Lingyuan stared at the sky-blue tent ceiling and asked, "Didn't you just say you'd let your guard down around me?"

Wen Rushi pouted, "Then why don't you look at what you just did?"

Yue Lingyuan rolled over to face her. "Since you don't believe me at all, then let's continue!"

"No!" Wen Rushi immediately pulled the blanket over her head and wrapped herself up tightly.

She was going to leave; she had no intention of becoming husband and wife with this man at all!

Yue Lingyuan's lips twitched when he saw the woman wrapped up like a cicada cocoon, and he reached out to pull the blanket up a little.

Wen Ru felt him pull the blanket and thought he was going to do something again, so she immediately grabbed the blanket tightly.

"What are you doing?"

"It's cold, cover yourself with a blanket."

Wen Rushi didn't dare to show her head. "There are blankets in the cabinet over there. Go get them yourself."

Seeing that she was unyielding, Yue Lingyuan had no choice but to go to the cabinet and take out a new blanket to cover himself.

The two of them lay down under their own blankets, neither of them speaking, and the room quickly fell silent.

When Wen Rushi saw that he really only covered himself with a blanket and did nothing else, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to sleep like that.

With her heart pounding, she stayed up until midnight, until finally, unable to stay awake any longer, she drifted off to sleep.

Hearing the even breathing of the person next to him, Yue Lingyuan opened his eyes in the darkness.

He was silent for a while, then finally lifted the corner of the blanket around the person next to him and crawled into her bed.

That wasn't enough; he even reached out and gently pulled the person into his arms.

When Wen Rushi woke up, she found the bed unusually warm. She was stunned for a moment, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself hugging Yue Lingyuan, her face buried in his chest.

Wen Rushi quietly looked up at the man's face.

Fortunately, Yue Lingyuan hasn't woken up yet!

Wen Rushi quietly withdrew from the man's embrace.

Completely preoccupied with figuring out how to get back to her bed quietly, Wen Rushi didn't even notice that Yue Lingyuan's eyelids had twitched.

Yue Lingyuan only opened his eyes, pretending to have just woken up, after Wen Rushi got up and dressed.

"You're awake!" Wen Rushi greeted her with a smile.

"Hmm, did you sleep well last night, Madam?"

Wen Rushi immediately replied, "I'm a restless sleeper, General, are you not used to sleeping there? Why don't you sleep in the study tonight?"

"I don't mind, I'll get used to it eventually."

Wen Rushi was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

From that day on, no one knew what medicine Yue Lingyuan had taken, but he came to sleep in her room every day, and Wen Rushi was terrified every night.

One morning, Wen Rushi woke up to find that the belt of her inner garment was loose and her clothes were open, which startled her greatly.

They were afraid that Yue Lingyuan would discover something.

The following days were even more absurd; when she opened her eyes, she saw Yue Lingyuan's bare chest right in front of her.

Yue Lingyuan said that she had ripped his clothes open at night, and that she had taken the initiative to lie on his chest!

"I don't know anything..." Wen Rushi would not admit it in front of Yue Lingyuan, but she knew in her heart that her sleeping posture was indeed not very good.

"Heh~ Madam, do you think I took off my clothes in the middle of the night?" Yue Lingyuan said in a serious tone.

"I didn't think that way..."

If Yue Lingyuan wanted to do something, she couldn't stop him, so naturally she wouldn't do something so sneaky...

On the contrary, she's never been a restless sleeper...

"It seems that you are no longer afraid of me, Madam. Why don't we consummate our marriage today..." Yue Lingyuan said, pulling Wen Rushi into his arms.

Wen Rushi was pulled against Yue Lingyuan's burning chest, her mind a complete mess.

"No way!" she said without hesitation.

If it were nighttime, she could use the darkness to cover it up, but now it's daytime, and as soon as she takes off her clothes, everything will be exposed.

In his previous life, Cai Zhixing offered her up in order to get promoted. It's hard to guarantee that Yue Lingyuan won't offer her up as well for the safety of his family in the future.

She has no ability to protect herself now and must not reveal even the slightest bit of herself to others.

This is also why Wen Rushi has been trying so hard to cover it up.

Besides, she never intended to be a real couple with Yue Lingyuan. They would leave sooner or later anyway, so why create unnecessary worries?

Yue Lingyuan didn't really intend to do anything to Wen Rushi. In recent days, he had been testing Wen Rushi, and when he saw that she refused, he stopped.

"Why not? If Madam is afraid, I can guarantee that I will not hurt her this time..." Yue Lingyuan stared intently at Wen Rushi, his expression very serious.

The person in front of her was getting closer and closer, and she had a feeling that if she didn't give some reason, she might not be able to get through this today.

Wen Rushi's eyes flickered.

Then her eyes reddened, and she said, on the verge of tears, "I do have something to confess to my husband."

Yue Lingyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, and said calmly, "Oh, what is it? Tell me."

"My husband should know that my birth mother was a doctor, right?"

"Okay, continue." He wanted to see how she would continue making things up.

Wen Rushi wiped away her tears. "When my mother was young, she studied medicine with a reclusive master in the village. She not only learned some medical skills, but also inherited some self-defense techniques from that master. However, my mother was not very skilled and did not learn much, but she passed it all on to me. However, those techniques are extremely special." Wen Rushi paused here, looked at Yue Lingyuan, and kept him in suspense.

Yue Lingyuan became somewhat interested when he thought about the set of boxing techniques that the girl Wen Rushi had bought had been practicing these days.

The girl's martial arts technique was indeed much more refined than ordinary boxing techniques.

"Oh, go on, I'm listening!"

"That cultivation method requires practitioners to abstain from desires and never mix their own energy with that of others, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain... After that day at the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, all the hard work I had put into cultivating over the years was wasted. I cultivated day and night for those few days and finally found a way to start over. I don't want to waste all my previous efforts again... That's why I don't want to live in the same room as my husband..."

Hearing this, I realized that it was half true and half false.

She did indeed become an ordinary mortal after that day, that's for sure!

As a fairy, she really couldn't do "that" with people, and she wasn't lying!

Wen Rushi's tone was incredibly sincere.

However, Yue Lingyuan's first reaction was naturally disbelief.

"I have never heard of such a technique before."

Wen Rushi remained completely calm. "The world is vast and full of wonders. Just because General Yue hasn't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
