The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 480: Third Release, Requesting Monthly Votes
"Sir, why are you looking at me like that?" Lian Zhi hunched her shoulders, feeling Jiang Nuo’s gaze was quite strange.
"It’s nothing, I just find you quite interesting!"
"Sir..." Lian Zhi lowered her head shyly and tried to stand up. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she realized she’d sprained her ankle, "Ouch, my foot hurts!"
"What’s wrong with your foot?"
"I sprained it! Sir, could you help me up?" Lian Zhi looked at him pitifully.
"But, my body doesn’t want to be touched by any woman other than my wife, what should I do?" Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow.
Lian Zhi was taken aback, obviously not expecting his response. She dumbly said, "Didn’t you say you wanted me to be your Furnace? If I can’t touch you, how can I do that?"
Jiang Nuo looked troubled, "Yes, what should we do?"
Lian Zhi comforted Jiang Nuo, "Sir, don’t worry, if you don’t want the Lady to know, I certainly won’t let her know..." As she spoke, she tried to reassure Jiang Nuo, taking his hand in hers, saying, "Look, I’m just holding you like this. If you don’t say, and I don’t say, the Lady will never know."
"Really?"
"Really!" Lian Zhi smiled, her smile so beautiful it seemed to glow in the dark night, "I belong to you, Sir. I was born for you, everything I do is for your good. Whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do; what you forbid, even if you behead me, I won’t do..."
Jiang Nuo caught a whiff of a very pleasant fragrance from her. It seemed a bit like tuberose, yet not quite, delicate and lingering, making him sniff again and again.
"What scent do you have on you, it smells so good?"
"Sir, are you talking about the floral scent on me?" Lian Zhi smiled bashfully, "This was prepared by my family who trained me, I think it’s called ’Mysterious Night.’ They say it has seven segments of scent, changing with light and temperature..."
"Really? So, scent can change too." Jiang Nuo only knew that perfumes have various types, with top, middle, and base notes, but he never paid much attention because he didn’t use them himself.
Moreover, Mu Qiuniang naturally carried a scent and liked bathing with flower petals, so he was accustomed to it and didn’t find perfumes particularly appealing.
He wasn’t especially sensitive to scents, except his wife’s.
"Yes, this scent is quite special; I usually don’t have the chance to use it. This time, they wanted me to curry favor with a noble guest, so they gave me this precious perfume to use. If you like it, sir, you can smell it more." Lian Zhi’s eyes filled with spring romance, and as she looked at him, her gaze seemed almost liquid with affection.
Under such tender eyes, Jiang Nuo also felt a melting sensation.
His vision seemed to blur. It seemed as though he saw his beloved woman, wearing a white dress, walking toward him under the moonlight of the night.
Her long hair fluttered in the air like a flowing wave, white ribbons in her hair, wide sleeves, and flying skirts.
She smiled softly with eyes as gentle as water, reaching out to him with her plump, fair, glowing hands.
"A’Nuo..."
She softly called his name.
"Wife..." Jiang Nuo murmured, unable to resist stepping forward and pulling her into his embrace.
"Husband~" She coyly snuggled into his arms with a soft voice.
He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and gently lifted, raising her off the ground into a suspended embrace.
"Ah..." Lian Zhi gasped in surprise, "What... what are you doing?"
Grabbing his lapel, she was extremely nervous.
Although she had already guessed, even before being assigned the task, what she was about to experience. However, it was still her first time, and she couldn’t help but be a little anxious.
Would this man be the first in her life?
Would he, like those powerful men, extract her essence?
She’d heard from her sisters before, that after some were given to people, they lost decades of time after one night of extraction, turning from girl to old, gray-haired woman.
Her back turned cold then. She was only eighteen, yet to fully enjoy the beauty of youth, would she end up like them after just one night, turning into an old woman?!
Those old women, she’d seen them afterward, full of wrinkles, with white hair, so ugly.
Some of them couldn’t even walk properly, were thrown into the "Abandoned Courtyard," and left to die.
No one cared about what happened to these useless "old people"; if they wet the bed, they wet the bed; if they went hungry, they went hungry. As soon as they died, they’d be dragged out and tossed into the "Abandoned Well," and that was the end of it.
At that time, Lian Zhi’s greatest fear was one day being thrown into the "Abandoned Courtyard" and left to die, then dumped into the "Abandoned Well" and annihilated.
However, what she didn’t expect was that recently, she’d heard the family planned to select a few young, beautiful girls to send to an outside "tea garden."
She didn’t know where the "tea garden" was, but she knew that being sent on a mission outside as a Furnace was far better than being given as a gift to some big shot for extraction.
Lian Zhi, relying on her youth and beauty, pleaded with the supervisor and was finally chosen and sent out.
When she came out, she realized how marvelously refreshing the air outside was, how beautiful the scenery. What moved her heart even more was that the tea garden’s owner even said if she were willing to carry out a mission and succeeded, she could stop being a Furnace, and live a normal life like the tea girls there.
Lian Zhi, overjoyed, immediately agreed.
Then she was sent to Jiang Nuo’s room.
Following the pre-set plan, she pretended to be a Furnace sent by a noble family to the esteemed guest, fleeing unwillingly. She thought, what man wouldn’t want to play hero?
Seeing her so pitiable, which man wouldn’t be moved?
Even if he wasn’t moved now, there was no need to worry. Lady Dongfang had also arranged for a romantic hero rescue, where the beauty falls for the hero, which was perfectly normal.
To ensure success without failure, Lady Dongfang even provided a special fragrance, euphemistically called "Mysterious Night," but to put it plainly, it was an aphrodisiac designed to tempt those self-proclaimed upright gentlemen, who wouldn’t easily err.
At first, when she heard she had to share a bed with a man, she was quite hesitant. But Lady Dongfang told her it was her only choice; otherwise, she could only be a Furnace her entire life.
"Will I die? Will I grow old?" Lian Zhi voiced her worries.
Lady Dongfang said, "No! I only want you to sleep with him, not to await his extraction. Just don’t let him extract you."
"But won’t sleeping with him mean extracting me?"
"No, sleeping and extraction are two different things. When he’s drugged, he’ll only want to sleep with you, not extract you."
