Favoring a Hidden Mistress? Engagement Broken-Chapter 143 - 113: Not Impotent

She was indignant, her heart full of anger, until she discovered that the man opposite her had been silent for a long time, and she suddenly realized what she had said so recklessly.

Her anger turned to remorse. Xie Wanqing wished she could punch herself; how could she bring up such a painful topic?

Alright, her words did indeed make the usually unflappable man show a moment of astonishment.

Pei Yuqing was stunned for several seconds before he realized what she had said.

The room fell into a strange silence. Xie Wanqing hung her head low, not daring to look at his expression, feeling rather awkward as she said, "I was just talking nonsense, don’t take it to heart..."

As she spoke, she felt that the more she explained, the worse it sounded. Frustrated, she said, "Forget it, if you want to move to the study, just do it. I won’t stop you."

She truly was a jerk, bringing up the fact that he was physically weak and unable... it must feel more painful to him than anyone else.

Now that they were married, facing each other every day... sharing a bed...

It would only continually remind him of this heart-wrenching fact.

She even said such heart-digging words to remind him of his impotency.

Perhaps it’s better to live apart; there’s no need to lie together on a bed just for the sake of others’ opinions.

Eager to remedy her reckless words, with understanding she said, "Don’t think too much, I don’t despise you at all... actually, this is quite good, I..."

Before she could finish, the man took a few swift steps toward her, scaring her into silence.

Xie Wanqing blinked blankly, at one moment thinking he might be angry enough to hit her.

But Pei Yuqing just looked at her with an indescribable expression.

He was more than a head taller than her. His slightly lowered eyes were full of complex emotion, and upon closer inspection, one could see a faint blush on his usually gentle face.

"You... why would you think I..." He paused and pressed his lips together, "am impotent?"

When he heard his wife and her mother talk during the day, he was baffled as to why she would mistakenly think he was incapable.

On their wedding night, he indeed made some mistakes that annoyed her, making her unwilling to let him touch her. In the days that followed, he intended to get close, but she took a quilt, and they slept separately as if it were only natural.

He thought she had hastily married him to escape Lu Ziyuan and had no intention of being genuinely affectionate with him, so despite the discomfort, he didn’t want to force her.

But... it was on the third day after the wedding, during the customary return to her family’s home, that he heard her true feelings.

What did she mean by him being impotent?

Xie Wanqing was mortified, softly explaining, "That morning, I overheard a few words of your conversation with Mother in the room."

"...I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, it’s just..." she stammered, no longer the angry figure from earlier.

Pei Yuqing found it somewhat laughable. He pinched his eyebrows and seriously said, "I said that because I didn’t want Mother to pressure you; because even if it happened that we had trouble having children later, she would think it was my problem."

Xie Wanqing was a bit dazed. She remembered during breakfast that the Eldest Princess had indeed mentioned having children, and her pupils gradually widened.

So, he was willing to hint at being impotent in front of his mother to spare her from possible future trouble regarding children?

The girl’s pretty eyes were wide and adorable. Pei Yuqing couldn’t resist any longer. He raised his hand to clasp her shoulder, gathering her into his arms, his lips accompanying the motion to gently kiss her earlobe.

Xie Wanqing itched from his kisses, so she tilted her head to avoid them, but a moment later he held her by the nape, preventing her escape. His warm breath pressed against her ear.

"I didn’t know Wanwan was so aggrieved these past few days." Finding it somewhat amusing, his tone carried undisguised laughter, entering Xie Wanqing’s ears word by word, making her face instantly flush bright red.

She finally remembered all that she had said in her fury!

How could she call him impotent and say she was wronged!

She...!

The big hand on her nape gently squeezed. Pei Yuqing’s lips moved slowly from her ear to her jawline, his Adam’s apple slightly moved as he restrained his rising agitation, softly saying, "Actually, I felt wronged too."

"You married hastily to escape Lu Ziyuan, I thought..." He sighed lightly, "I thought you were unwilling to stay with me long-term, and I was always prepared for your departure."

He was feeling aggrieved too.

The girl who he had worked hard to bring home was lying beside him, their relationship legitimate, yet he didn’t dare make a move.

Xie Wanqing had never heard him speak in such a wronged tone. Her heart softened, and she unconsciously wanted to explain, but as she opened her mouth, he lowered his head to claim it with his lips.

Compared to the first time when his kisses were clumsy and consisted only of brushing lips, Pei Yuqing’s kissing skills had greatly improved.

The moment his lips touched hers, his breath invaded decisively.

There was none of the usual slowness; his entire being was impatient.

Xie Wanqing hadn’t even reacted when her lips were sealed, and she instinctively tried to push him away, wanting to say something, but his kiss completely engulfed her, leaving only whimpering sounds echoing in the room.

In just a few moments, she was kissed into a dizzy state. It wasn’t until her back hit the bed that she realized she had somehow been picked up and placed on the couch.

The ribbon of her nightwear was untied; Pei Yuqing’s hand paused slightly, then quickly slid inside her robe, resting at the girl’s tender waist, slowly caressing, his breathing grew heavier.

Xie Wanqing, overwhelmed by the kiss, struggled to breathe, trying hard to turn her head away from his lips without success. Her hands instinctively pushed harder against him, but her wrists were then grasped by the man above her.

Pei Yuqing, lips brushing against hers, spoke in a soft, seductive tone.

"Wanwan, be good, I’ll make it up to you with a wedding night now."

As he spoke, his hand on her waist moved upward slowly, and Xie Wanqing’s muddled brain finally sobered up, her hand firmly pressed down on his wrist, "Stop!"

The romantic atmosphere instantly dissipated with her low shout. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The man above her froze. Xie Wanqing hurriedly tried to gather her robe, but they were too close, giving her no chance to move.

As she tentatively shifted, her waist tightened under his sudden grip, causing a shudder she couldn’t suppress.

"...Stop." Whether it was from being kissed red or from embarrassment, her face was already crimson, and her voice was barely a whisper.

"Isn’t it unfair?" Pei Yuqing’s voice was already hoarse beyond recognition. He traced her soft waist with his thumb, desire still evident in his eyes, "Why don’t you want to?"

His lowered eyes focused on her face, quietly observing her eyes, and as their gazes met, he softly repeated, "I’m not impotent. You don’t need to be aggrieved. I’ll give you everything you deserve, why don’t you want it?"

This usually gentle man now exuded a rare but strong sense of assertiveness in his words.
