Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child - Chapter 176
176 Too Pitiful
In the darkness, Xiao Juan opened his eyes.
He turned his head slightly to look at the girl beside him, his eyes as dark as the night.
“If I say I want it, will you agree?”
Yu Niaoniao hesitated.
She did not want to consummate the marriage. Her body was only 15 years old. In the modern world, she would only be a junior high school student. To have sex with a man at this age was definitely give her more pain than pleasure.
Moreover, there was no perfect contraception in ancient times. If she was accidentally pregnant, she would have to bear the risk of giving birth.
But these were just her personal thoughts.
She had already married Duke Lang. The two of them were legally married. She should fulfill her duty as a wife.
Yu Niaoniao moved under the blanket like a caterpillar.
She leaned over and asked softly.
“Have you slept with other women before?”
At this moment, the two of them were extremely close.
Xiao Juan could feel the warm breath on the tip of her nose and the faint fragrance on her body.
His heart beat a little faster, and his body stiffened.
“Why are you asking?”
Yu Niaoniao hugged his arm and begged, “Tell me, tell me. I want to know.”
Xiao Juan spat out two words stiffly.
“No.”
Everyone hated him and avoided him. How could a good woman be willing to give herself to him?
There were once women with ulterior motives who tried to approach him, but he saw through them at a glance and quickly dealt with them.
Yu Niaoniao thought to herself that it was indeed so. Such an unromantic fellow must be single.
But she wasn’t much better.
She would not laugh at him.
Yu Niaoniao continued to ask.
“Then do you know how to have sex?”
Xiao Juan looked at her expressionlessly. “Although I have no experience, I’m not a fool who knows nothing.”
Yu Niaoniao asked again, “Then can you make sure you don’t hurt me?”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
How could he answer that?
He wanted to reprimand her for saying such vulgar words as a woman.
Yu Niaoniao looked at him without blinking. Her eyes were like clear spring water in the mountains, so clear that one could see through them.
She looked like she simply wanted to know the answer. She did not have any coy thoughts.
The words of reprimand spun around in Xiao Juan’s mouth, but he swallowed them back.
He said coldly, “I’ve never done it before. How do I know you won’t hurt?”
Yu Niaoniao was even more vexed.
Asking was useless.
She decided to think in another direction.
“If you wanted to do something and you couldn’t make up your mind, what would you do?”
Xiao Juan said calmly, “First, prepare for the worst and come up with a solution. As long as you can ensure that the final outcome is within your acceptable boundary, you can do whatever you want.”
Yu Niaoniao imagined it in her heart.
The worst outcome of her consummation with Duke Lang was that he was too lousy and injured her.
Yu Niaoniao immediately asked.
“If I get injured when we consummate our marriage, does that count as a work injury? Can you reimburse me for my medical fees? Can you arrange for me to take paid sick leave?”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
Why would she be hurt? Would his technique be that bad?!
Xiao Juan took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.
He enunciated each word.
“Consider it your work injury. I’ll reimburse your medical fees and arrange for you to have a paid vacation.”
Yu Niaoniao pushed her luck. “I’ll set the holiday time?”
Xiao Juan said, “Yes.”
Yu Niaoniao immediately made a decision.
They were just going to consummate their marriage. She would endure it.
She would give herself a year and a half of paid leave later. When the time came, she could feel as good as she wanted!
“If you really want it, then come!”
With that, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. Her small hands under the blanket were clenched into fists, and her body was as stiff as a rock.
She did not look like she was going to consummate the marriage, but more like a brave warrior who was about to die!
However, Xiao Juan only helped her lift the blanket.
“Go to bed early.”
Yu Niaoniao opened her eyes and asked in confusion, “Didn’t you want to consummate your marriage?”
Xiao Juan actually did not want to consummate the marriage. The only reason he’d asked earlier was to gauge her attitude.
She struggled and hesitated for so long. After weighing the pros and cons several times, she gave an answer. It was obvious that she was actually unwilling to consummate the marriage.
He did not want to force her in the name of husband and wife. Besides, he himself was a little resistant to consummating the marriage.
He had experienced some bad things as a child, which had caused him to have a psychological barrier to sex.
Not to mention having sex with someone, just thinking about that scene made him feel nauseous.
He thought it was good to be like this now. They were lying side by side in the same bed, each feeling the other’s presence, but still keeping the last bit of distance.
Facing Yu Niaoniao’s curious gaze, Xiao Juan appeared very cold.
“I just made a hypothesis. I’m not saying I want to consummate our marriage now.”
Hearing this, Yu Niaoniao heaved a sigh of relief.
Still, she was curious.
“Why don’t you want to consummate the marriage?”
Logically speaking, a man his age should be raring to do it.
However, he acted so coldly. It looked very strange.
Was he not very good in that area?
If that was the case, he was pitiful.
Xiao Juan was speechless.
What was that look in her eyes?
Why did he feel a sense of sympathy?
What the hell was she imagining?
Xiao Juan said with a dark expression, “I naturally have my considerations. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
Yu Niaoniao nodded obediently. “Yes, yes, I understand. I promise not to mention the consummation or tell anyone about you. My mouth is very tight. Don’t worry.”
With that, she gave him a mysterious smile.
Xiao Juan had a headache.
What did she understand?
She clearly did not understand anything!
Xiao Juan said, “It’s not that I don’t want to consummate our marriage…”
Yu Niaoniao placed her finger against his lips.
“My baby, don’t say anymore. This concerns your dignity as a man. Let it be sealed in our hearts forever.”
Xiao Juan’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He pulled her claws away and spoke almost through gritted teeth.
“I’m fine that way! I’m just a little conflicted about having sex.”
Yu Niaoniao revealed an understanding smile and coaxed gently.
“Yes, yes, you’re just fine. You’re the best!”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
Yu Niaoniao held his hand and said sincerely.
“My baby, it doesn’t matter if you can never consummate your marriage with me. I’m willing to watch over you for the rest of my life. My love for you comes from my soul. As long as our souls are together, I don’t care about anything else.”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
It was clearly a touching confession, but he didn’t feel touched at all.
He even felt like punching someone.
