I woke up as the Villainous Empress
Chapter 130

130 First Night III

-Yesterday Night-

“Hmm....That’s why you’re the main lead. So pretty!” Yang Ning giggled like a fool as she caressed Zheng Liang’s face.

After pushing him on the bed, he was lying on the bed, meanwhile, she was hovering over him and holding onto his arms to prevent him from throwing her away.

“Ah?” Zheng Liang exclaimed in surprise at Yang Ning’s peculiar words. ‘Main Lead? What does it mean?’ He wondered.

The only thing he understood was that she was complimenting him for his looks and was calling him good-looking.

He was speechless at her boldness and was amused by her strange drunken habits. His ears turned scarlet red in embarrassment as it was his first time seeing a woman complimenting a man for his looks without shying away in embarrassment.

How can she be so bold and straightforward? He wondered.

After drinking some wine, she looked completely different from what he has seen her as until now.

“Princess Yang Ning, I think you have drunk too much wine. You should take a rest and we will talk in the morning.” Zheng Liang said as he tried to get Yang Ning off of him.

.....

If they stay in this scandalous position for longer, it will be difficult for him to control his emotions.

He is also a man after all. No matter how strong his willpower is, at some points, it is bound to come loose.

Moreover, she was lying on top of him and was looking at him with those gleaming eyes. How can he resist her beauty when she was looking at him with those innocent eyes?

He pursed his lips in hesitance when his gaze fell on her lightly tinted pink lips. While looking at her lips, he was reminded of the kiss that they shared near the lake when he saved her from drowning.

After that unexpected kiss, many things changed between them. From denouncing her as a woman, he has started to like her.

It was his first kiss after all and this woman took it. After they shared such a moment, how can she act so indifferently around him? He wondered.

Although it was one of the methods to save her and she seems to not know about it, he can never forget that moment.

That’s why he was hurrying to get her off of him because he cannot afford to have her lying on top of him and then do nothing.

While Zheng Liang wanted to push her away, Yang Ning didn’t budge and looked at him with a frown when he said such words, ” Ahh! Not Again. Why do you keep calling me Princess Yang Ning?”

“What did I ask you to call me? It’s Fang Fang. Do you get it? Call me Fang Fang or don’t call me at all.” She cutely argued with him and insisted he calls her Fang Fang only.

Zheng Liang took a deep breath when she looked at him with those adorable eyes and eventually gave in to her drunken words and said, ” Alright. Alright. Fang Fang. Is that good?”

“Yes! It’s a cute name, isn’t it?” She asked while moving her head from one side to another in her drunken daze.

Zheng Liang let out a chuckle to see her acting cute and said, ” Yes. It does sound cute.” Who would have expected that the noble lady of the Yang family would be so cute and chaotic after she drinks wine?

However, seeing her acting like this, he noted that from now on, it would not be appropriate for her to drink alcohol in front of others.

He cannot allow others to see this cute side of hers.

“Fang Fang, you should not move your head like this. Otherwise, you will feel dizzy after a few minutes.” Zheng Liang called her by her new name awkwardly. It was a strange feeling to call her Fang Fang and not Yang Ning.

However, it is better than doing nothing. If he addresses her as Yang Ning, she will snap at him again and will not go back to sleep.

That’s why he decided to go with her antics for now and allow her to sleep.

Yang Ning cutely pouted at him when he stopped her head from moving too much and then burst into laughter, ” Haha! Okay...Zheng Zheng!” She said cutely in a high-pitch tone.

Zheng Liang was dumbfounded when she addressed him as Zheng Zheng and not Zheng Liang. After his mother’s demise, it was the first time someone has called him so intimately and with affection.

His heart skipped a beat when she called him Zheng Zheng. He stared into her starry eyes and found her looking into his eyes as well.

When their gaze met, there was this strange atmosphere in the room and he could feel his body temperature rising as well.

He didn’t even drink the wine, so why was he feeling hot? He wondered.

Yang Ning also swallowed her saliva as she felt her body burning up from the inside and Zheng Liang, a human, started to look like a chicken drumstick to her. Delicious and juicy!

She pulled on the collar of her blouse to breathe properly and lowered her head a little and wanted to taste this deliciously looking drumstick.

On the other hand, Zheng Liang was going through many emotions seeing her acting like this. Seeing her taking a step forward, he took a deep breath and held the back of her head with one hand, and placed another hand at her back before leaning in for a kiss.

That’s right. It is their first night after all. How can they let this precious night go to waste?

He also wanted to taste those rose-tinted lips and wanted to feel their smoothness. However, before their lips could meet, Yang Ning who was awake and grinning despite almost finishing the whole pot of wine, closed her eyes and fell asleep against his neck.

Her body fell on him with a thump and her face rested against her neck, leaving him dumbfounded.

“Princess Yang Ni....Fang Fang? Fang Fang?” Zheng Liang tried to wake her up so that he could at least ask her to change into night clothes and go to bed.

Today’s day was quite chaotic and exhausting for both of them. It is their first night, who would have thought that he would be spending this night while sleeping with a drunkard?

“Haa!” Zheng Liang sighed heavily when the whole atmosphere went downhill when Yang Ning fell asleep first before their lips could even meet.

“Looks like it is going to be a difficult night.” He murmured while chuckling in disbelief. Who would have thought that his first night with his wife would be so....exciting and thrilling?

Back to Present-

After drinking the water, Yang Ning looked around to put away the empty cup. Zheng Liang noticed her clutching onto the blanket tightly and stood up to take the cup from her.

Yang Ning was surprised by his gentlemanly gesture and handed him the empty cup with a smile. At least, unlike the novel, he isn’t cold and mean to her. Otherwise, posing as Yang Ning would have been like a hell to her.

“If I fell asleep....then how I ended up like this?” She asked while looking at him suspiciously.

“About that....” Zheng Liang chuckled at her when he was reminded about that scene and glanced at the clothes that were thrown onto the floor.

He cleared his throat before saying, “While you were sleeping next to me, you suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and started whining about how uncomfortable you were feeling in the dress. Before I could help you with anything, you started removing your clothes and threw them on the floor ruthlessly.”

“Why didn’t you stop me then?” She asked with her eyes widened.

“How can I stop you? It was your clothes and you were removing them. What can I do in between?” He responded casually, making her frown.

He could have called Xiaowei inside to help her with her night clothes. However, if he had done that, the news that the new bride has gotten drunk after drinking the whole pot of wine would have spread across the palace like wildfire.

*Ahem* It was a good thing he didn’t do anything.

However, she still couldn’t digest this bitter truth. She looked at him with her pleading eyes, begging him to not tease her and tell her the truth.

Because if this is the truth, then she will die of embarrassment.

” I am not lying. You removed your clothes yourself. I didn’t touch you.” He raised his hands in defense when he noticed her accusing gaze. He wasn’t even lying, then why was she looking at him as if he was framing her for something she didn’t do?

Yang Ning pursed her lips and wanted to die of embarrassment. So she not only slept on the same bed as him but also removed her clothes in front of him.

How embarrassing!

“Then....if nothing happened between us, why were you sleeping without your robe? Now don’t blame it on me that I removed your clothes.” She looked at him with a frown as she wanted answers to her questions.

There is no way that he wasn’t expecting something from her. Otherwise, why would he remove his upper robe as well and sleep with a bare chest next to her?

Zheng Liang was surprised by her bold question and was slightly impressed by her straightforwardness.

“Well, you said it yourself. After removing your clothes, you proceeded to remove my clothes as well because the crystals on the robe were scratching against your skin and making you feel itchy and wounded.” He answered.

When he thinks about the last night, his ears turned red because things were going south than he had expected. He had heard that only men are in charge of leading such things but Yang Ning was one step ahead of him and doing all the work.

She not only removed her clothes but removed his clothes as well, just to hug him to sleep. When she was hugging him tightly in her sleep and sometimes licking his face in her dream like a cat, he was lying by her side like a stone.

He was unable to react to her proactive actions and was in a state of malfunction. It was his first time experiencing all sorts of things after all.

“You’re lying!” Yang Ning scoffed in disbelief at his statement but seeing his expression, she could tell that he wasn’t lying.

‘Argh! How is she going to face him from now on?’ She cried inwardly in humiliation.

If Yang Ning ever returned to this body, she is going to get embarrassed at her for ruining her prim and proper lady-like reputation.
