Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Climactic Request for Subscription in Marital Duties (4)

This was Mu Wan’s first time drying a man’s hair. She felt it was a little odd, but... it allowed her to closely admire Qin Mu’s flawless, handsome face.

The man... always carried a bit of roguish charm, and this was undoubtedly tied to his exquisite features.

Mu Wan thought back—her initial infatuation had mostly been because of... Qin Mu’s captivating face.

Especially on the basketball court... drenched in sweat, his figure was even more appealing to young women.

She still remembered... back in school, many girls liked Qin Mu at that time... and she could not escape his allure either.

Mu Wan zoned out for a while, and when she snapped back to reality, she realized she had messed up his hair as though she were drying a dog’s fur.

But the more disheveled it became... the more it accentuated his devilish charm.

"All... all done."

Not wanting the man to notice anything amiss, Mu Wan quickly smoothed out his hair and forced a faint smile.

Qin Mu quietly enjoyed the sensation of the woman’s soft hands busy in his hair, his thin lips pressing together slightly.

"Mm."

Qin Mu raised his hand to take the towel from Mu Wan’s grasp, his fingertips unintentionally brushing against the woman’s pale fingers. Mu Wan instantly recoiled as if she’d been electrocuted.

After pulling her hand back, Mu Wan quickly realized... her reaction might have been a bit too dramatic.

"Um... I’ll go take a shower."

Mu Wan struggled to get the words out, her body inexplicably... heating up. The atmosphere in the room grew oddly suggestive.

If she stayed like this any longer with him, she feared she might literally have a nosebleed.

"No need."

With that, Qin Mu reached out and grabbed Mu Wan’s slender wrist.

"Ah..."

Suddenly losing her balance, Mu Wan cried out, her head spinning as she tumbled onto the large bed.

Mu Wan: "..."

So now, there wasn’t even time for a shower?

Mu Wan bit her rosy lip lightly.

She was unbearably tense.

She didn’t even know where to focus her gaze—should she stare off blankly or look at the man before her?

"Mm."

Mu Wan responded softly, glancing at the soft, warm yellow light in the room. She murmured, "Qin Mu, turn off the lights... I’m a little nervous."

"Alright."

But it wasn’t just Mu Wan who was nervous.

Qin Mu pressed his thin lips together slightly before reaching out to the remote switch. The yellow lights dimmed, leaving only a faint glow from a few smaller lamps overhead and the afternoon sunlight spilling in from the window.

The room’s atmosphere grew scorching hot...

Mu Wan took a deep breath. In this dim light, Qin Mu wouldn’t be able to see her blushing, red face.

The room was dark enough that she could only make out the man’s broader movements, not his subtler actions.

After all, in such an environment, one’s hearing became unnaturally keen.

...

...

Afterwards:

Mu Wan felt as though she had transformed... from a girl into a woman.

Especially since the other person was her beloved man.

That feeling—it was like she had metamorphosed into a butterfly.

...

Qin Mu wasn’t in much better shape himself; he was just as inexperienced as she was...

Qin Mu watched the woman in his arms, trembling in pain, sobbing softly on her own, his thin lips pressed together.

Having a child...

That was the priority task.

Mu Wan forced a faint smile and responded with a trembling voice, "Mm."

...

Mu Wan woke from a deep sleep, only to sink back into slumber again. The last time she regained consciousness, she was being carried to the bathroom to be cleaned up.

Mu Wan: "..."

Exhausted beyond measure, she felt as though even her fingers lacked the strength to move.

Qin Mu gazed at the stunning woman in his arms.

His eyes narrowed slightly before carrying her back to the bedroom—not to the bed immediately, but to the sofa first.

Qin Mu turned on the light, and his gaze fell upon the bed sheets. His eyes flickered subtly.

Undeniably...

The man’s primal instincts kicked in upon seeing this, filling him with a sense of satisfaction.

Very proud...

Qin Mu’s thin lips curved into a faint, almost imperceptible smile, and he quickly replaced the bed sheets with fresh ones. Finally, he carried Mu Wan back to the large bed.

a.m...

He still couldn’t sleep.

Mu Wan seemed slightly uneasy with the new sheets, furrowing her delicate brows as she instinctively sought out the heat source on the bed, curling up in Qin Mu’s arms and settling into the most comfortable position she could find, then drifting off to sleep.

Qin Mu: "..."

The woman’s head rested on his arm, and Qin Mu’s dark eyes froze slightly.

In his 26 years of life...

This was the first time he’d had a woman sleep on his arm in such a way.

Qin Mu studied Mu Wan’s soft sleeping face, his large hand slowly settling around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

"Sleep..."

"Mm..."

It turned out... sleeping with a woman in his arms wasn’t so difficult after all.

There was a sense of something missing deep in his heart being filled.

Holding her as he slept... the man, too, found his own kind of comfort in the embrace.

Qin Mu was increasingly aware of the undeniable reality of being married.

The woman in his arms... she was Mrs. Qin...

...

When Mu Wan woke, it was already noon the next day.

Her hunger had roused her.

Calculating the time, she realized she hadn’t eaten anything for an entire day and night...

When Mu Wan had first awakened, her mind went blank for a moment.

The entirety of her being was adorably dazed.

Mu Wan lightly pressed her lips together, wanting to raise her hand to rub her brows, only to discover that even moving her arms brought an overwhelming sensation of soreness...

Mu Wan couldn’t help but furrow her delicate brows in pain.

Suddenly... her face paled before flushing red in its entirety.

She had fully consummated her relationship with Qin Mu last night.

The sleepwear she had worn was discarded after Qin Mu found it unsatisfactory.

So, after he had carried her to the bathroom for a bath... she had ended up... utterly bare.

Mu Wan blushed fiercely, her gaze falling to her arm...

So... Qin Mu being willing to take the initiative to consummate their relationship—did this mean he was willing to try to accept her?

This could be a good sign.
