Zheng Liang's eyes widened in astonishment as Yang Ning's passionate kiss silenced his question. The unexpected gesture momentarily froze his mind, leaving him pleasantly surprised and delighted by her bold move.
Throughout their marriage, Zheng Liang had grown accustomed to Yang Ning's tendency to evade his advances and keep her distance. He anticipated the same response this time as well, due to their past experiences.
This pattern of behavior had created a sense of anticipation within him, expecting her to retreat once again.
Despite several months passing since their wedding, their marriage had yet to be consummated. The customary act of consummation on the first night, which solidifies the marriage, had not taken place between them.
When they initially got married, they were both still unfamiliar with each other, and doubts and uncertainties clouded their relationship. Recognizing the importance of trust and understanding, they refrained from rushing into physical intimacy. They believed that a strong foundation should be established before taking that intimate step.
Zheng Liang never forced Yang Ning to consummate their marriage and gave her the time and space that she needed at that time. He respected her boundaries and understood the significance of a genuine emotional connection.
While he gave her time to adjust to palace life, Zheng Liang's perception of Yang Ning underwent a transformation. Despite their arranged marriage, he developed a genuine interest in her and appreciated her presence in his life.
He witnessed Yang Ning's active participation in resolving significant challenges and her unwavering support, his doubts gradually dissipated. He began to see her as a true partner, deeply committed to their marriage and standing by his side through thick and thin.
This newfound belief in Yang Ning and the deepening connection they shared brought about a profound shift in their relationship. They transcended the constraints of an arranged marriage and discovered a genuine bond founded on trust, respect, and shared experiences.

Zheng Liang was initially taken aback by Yang Ning's bold initiation, but he quickly regained his composure. Reacting instinctively, he gently grasped the back of her head, deepening their kiss with a sense of intensity and passion.
In that moment, he took charge of their relationship, reciprocating her advances with equal fervor and embracing the newfound connection between them.
"Uhm~" Yang Ning couldn't suppress a muffled moan, surprised by the overwhelming intensity of his passionate kiss. The sensations coursing through her body made her legs tremble, but she refused to break the connection.
Even if she removed her hand from his neck, he was resolved not to let her lose her balance and risk a fall. His strong arms securely held her, providing stability and support as they embraced. He was determined to protect her, both physically and emotionally, ensuring that she felt safe and secure in his arms.
Yet, he couldn't deny the allure of the sight before him. He didn't want her to conceal herself, as he found her beauty captivating and cherished the intimacy they shared in that moment.
"Oh! Is that so?" Yang Ning's eyes met his with a mixture of awkwardness and hesitation. Despite her initial impulse to cover herself, she made a conscious decision to let go of her inhibitions. In that moment, she chose to surrender to the natural flow of their connection, allowing the night to unfold as it was meant to.
A newfound sense of determination and openness settled within her, ready to embrace the unknown journey they were about to embark on.
Zheng Liang's smile widened into a pleased smirk as he expressed his approval with a low, seductive voice, "Good girl." His fingertips gently brushed against the softness of Yang Ning's cheeks, savoring their delicate texture.
With her legs still wrapped around him, he carried her towards the bed, their lips locked in a passionate and deep kiss.
The intensity of their connection grew as they succumbed to the fervor of the moment. Their bodies pressed against each other, fueled by desire and a long-awaited longing. With each step, the anticipation heightened, leading them closer to the culmination of their desires.
"Hah!" Yang Ning gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling rapidly as Zheng Liang finally released her from their passionate kiss. A sense of relief washed over her as she took in gulps of air, her body coated in a glistening layer of sweat. The intensity of their encounter had left her flushed and exhilarated, her senses heightened by the intimate connection they shared.
Sitting at the edge of the bed, she felt a mixture of anticipation and vulnerability, her body still tingling from their heated exchange. The air around them crackled with desire, and she could sense the electricity between them, building with each passing moment.
Zheng Liang's eyes glinted with a mixture of desire and admiration as he took in the enchanting sight before him. Yang Ning sat on the edge of the bed, her chest exposed and a subtle blush coloring her cheeks. Her lips, now reddened and slightly swollen from their passionate kiss, beckoned him closer.
Her once neatly styled braid now tumbled down, strands of hair cascading around her face and shoulders in disarray. It added to the allure, accentuating the untamed passion that had stirred between them.
The flush that adorned her entire body was a testament to the intensity of their shared moment, a physical manifestation of the arousal and excitement that coursed through her veins. Zheng Liang felt a surge of desire and possessiveness, an overwhelming urge to claim and cherish the woman before him.
Just as Zheng Liang was about to fully immerse himself in the passionate moment with Yang Ning, an unwelcome interruption came in the form of a knock on the door.
"Thump, Thump" the sound of someone banging on the door echoed through the room, breaking the intimate atmosphere and bringing an abrupt halt to their desires.
