Chapter 35 You are the First Choice
Chapter 35 You are the First Choice
Now it was Jiang Yuyue's turn to pause. She couldn't very well say that she had no experience at all, could she?
Although this matter has nothing to do with whether it is shameful or not, she had finally managed to persuade Xie Jinglan to agree to this matter. If he found out that she was still a virgin, and Xie Jinglan was frightened and refused to give in, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?
Thinking this through, she could only make something up on the spot.
"You know your older brother passed away early, and even if I had the experience, it would only be a few times. So naturally I need to review it more often, as the saying goes, 'Reviewing the old helps one understand the new.'"
Xie Jinglan: "..."
I don't know if I was stunned by her shamelessness or just a little speechless.
His gaze fell directly on Jiang Yuyue, who was well-prepared and met his eyes calmly without blushing or skipping a beat.
Xie Jinglan's eyes held a hint of inquiry, but before he could delve deeper, some commotion came from outside the courtyard.
Just then, Lian Mo came to deliver medicinal herbs again.
Although he encountered people he didn't want to see here last time, he had agreed with Jiang Yuyue to deliver the medicine, so he had no choice but to come back to this place.
Upon seeing that it was Lian Mo, Xiao Liu immediately went inside to inform him.
"Miss, the person who delivered the medicinal herbs to you has arrived."
Is it Lian Mo?
"Help me up, I want to go out and take a look."
Xiao Liu hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Yuyue get up. Whether it was thanks to the "ancestral" wound medicine from Jixiang or because Jiang Yuyue was always healthy, her injuries recovered faster than expected, and now she could basically move around without any problems.
Xie Jinglan followed her out. Lian Mo met his gaze again, his eyes showing a momentary panic, but he immediately looked away as if nothing had happened.
He's just here to do his own business, so he probably has nothing to do with this person.
"The medicinal herbs you requested."
When Lian Mo saw Jiang Yuyue come out, he immediately spread the bundle he had brought on the table. In addition to the agreed-upon Blood Heart Mushroom, there were also dozens of medicinal herbs that she had specified.
After carefully counting the items and confirming that the quantity and contents were correct, Jiang Yuyue paid the money readily. Seeing the large bag of silver in her hand, Lian Mo's usually expressionless face showed a rare hint of joy.
Thinking about how Xiao Liu had begged him to treat Jiang Yuyue's injuries, he casually mentioned it.
How are your injuries? Would you like me to take another look?
After saying that, Lian Mo added, "I won't take your money."
Jiang Yuyue was surprised that he, who seemed so cold and taciturn, would actually offer to help. Just as she was about to agree, she suddenly felt Xie Jinglan's sharp gaze, which made her feel a chill run down her spine.
"...No, thank you."
Jiang Yuyue chuckled dryly and waved her hand in refusal, "My injuries are almost healed, there's no need to trouble you."
Lian Mo didn't notice the exchange of glances between the two, only uttering an "oh," and then, thinking that Jiang Yuyue clearly didn't want so many medicinal herbs for her own use, he asked another question.
"You're buying so many medicinal herbs from me, are you perhaps planning to open a pharmacy?"
"Correct."
Jiang Yuyue nodded, and upon hearing this, Lian Mo immediately said, "Do you need any help with your shop? I can help you watch the shop, and you can pay me according to the normal rate."
This surprised Jiang Yuyue somewhat. However, considering her recent physical condition, and the fact that if things went smoothly, she probably wouldn't be able to take care of the shop, hiring a helper seemed like a good idea.
"Let me think about this first."
Jiang Yuyue didn't agree immediately. She turned to Xiao Liu for paper and pen, wrote down an address, and handed it to Lian Mo.
Come find me at this shop the day after tomorrow.
Lian Mo took the note, and without lingering any longer, nodded slightly to Jiang Yuyue before turning and leaving.
"My sister-in-law is truly a woman who plans ahead."
Xie Jinglan's gaze toward Lian Mo's retreating figure held a hint of sharpness. "As expected, he's not willing to put all his eggs in one basket; he's prepared quite a few alternative plans."
Hearing his words, Jiang Yuyue choked, but thinking that she had finally managed to persuade him, she was too lazy to refute his sarcastic remarks. She just chuckled and patted his shoulder, then whispered in Xie Jinglan's ear,
"Isn't it enough that you're the first choice?"
……
The time Jiang Yuyue had calculated earlier had arrived; today was the day she was most likely to conceive this month. Fortunately, the wound on her shoulder had scabbed over and did not affect her movement. After a simple bath and cleansing, Jiang Yuyue took advantage of the night and easily climbed over Xie Jinglan's door.
Hidden in the shadows, Yueying and Fengling exchanged a glance and tacitly looked away, pretending not to have seen anything.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, and seeing that it was indeed her, Xie Jinglan frowned slightly.
"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and you're already acting recklessly here. Aren't you afraid your wound will reopen?"
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
Jiang Yuyue waved her hand and stepped forward. Xie Jinglan then noticed that she had changed into a moon-white outer robe. Although the style was simple, it still outlined her slender figure. Her figure was delicate and graceful, and under the warm yellow candlelight, she exuded an indescribable tenderness and charm.
Such a completely different demeanor surprised Xie Jinglan, and he understood why she had come tonight. However, Jiang Yuyue's next words spoiled the mood.
"This won't take much time, it'll be over in the blink of an eye, it won't aggravate the wound."
These words caused Xie Jinglan's expression to change, his eyes suddenly turning cold. He lowered his voice and stood up, slowly approaching her.
"Oh? It really is just a matter of closing your eyes?"
Seeing Xie Jinglan approach, Jiang Yuyue simply stopped being reserved, stepped forward and hooked her arms around his neck. The next second, she offered her cherry lips to him, and her cool lips took them in without hesitation, domineeringly conquering her mouth.
After a long while, Jiang Yuyue placed her hands on his chest to end the kiss.
Seeing her flushed face and slow, labored breathing, Xie Jinglan's expression was inscrutable, and his voice was somewhat hoarse.
"This hasn't even started yet, and my sister-in-law can't take it anymore?"
"How could that be?" She bit her lip and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
Once the arrow is drawn, there's no turning back.
Seeing that she had already gone this far, Jiang Yuyue pushed him down onto the bed and began to strip Xie Jinglan of his clothes.
Xie Jinglan did not stop them. He leaned back on the couch and watched with amusement as his clothes were completely removed, and the two finally saw each other in their true nakedness.
They had both fallen in love, and only the final step was missing. However, Jiang Yuyue suddenly felt a little timid at this point.
I took a deep breath and mentally prepared myself...
But being inexperienced, the pain of her first experience was more unbearable than she had imagined. A slightly painful moan made Xie Jinglan realize that something was wrong.
Upon closer inspection, large beads of sweat had appeared on Jiang Yuyue's forehead, which was quite unlike the composed and experienced woman she had previously appeared to be.
Could she still be a virgin?
With this thought in mind, Xie Jinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, grabbed her chin, and kissed her.
