The Noble Woman's Guide On How to Tease One's Husband

Chapter 36 - Good Night

Afterwards, they stayed until after dinner, which Lisa did not expect. Although the atmosphere was inevitably a little serious with Jungkook's presence, she was already very content. 

It was already late when they returned to the mansion, so they went to bed after washing up. He slept on the outer part of the bed while she slept inside with half a person's width in between them. Lisa would normally snuggle against Jungkook for a while before falling asleep. Surprisingly today, she was unusually well-behaved. She remained within her boundary and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow, probably exhausted from a full day of moving about. 

It was quiet in the inner courtyard. The midnight moon was exposed by the sheer curtain of clouds, which superficially covered the newlywed couple. 

There was still a trace of dry heat in the early autumn night. Without the complement of cool breeze, one would feel restless and would forcibly be woken up by the stuffiness. Lisa was exactly woken this way, but she still couldn't open her eyes until her mind gradually became sober from the profuse sweating. Her head nestled on the cold beddings for a long time, until it was warmed by her body temperature and she had no choice but to prop herself up.  

Traces of sweat completely mottled the silky tea-white clothes under the shadow of the light. 

While calming her restlessness, she raised her eyes and looked at Jungkook. Laying flat on his back beside her, he was sleeping soundly. The contours of his facial features appeared extremely profound in the shadowy flickered candlelight. She wanted to reach out and touch him but was afraid of waking him up, so she sat on the side and watched him quietly. When her line of vision came upon his exposed chest, her mouth felt even more parched. 

Not good, she really has to get a drink. 

Lisa crawled to the end of the bed and cautiously flipped over Jungkook's feet, ready to get out of bed. Who knew the brocade laid underneath was too slippery. When she wasn't paying attention, she instantly lost her balance and rolled onto the ground. In the nick of time, a steady arm dragged her back from outside the bed where she stumbled and onto his chest that once again, fine sweat covered her back. 

"Why are you foolishly tossing about and not sleeping in the middle of the night?" 

Jungkook opened his eyes slowly. His voice was still a little hoarse, he was obviously just woken up but his sudden reflex of grabbing Lisa was incomparably accurate, which he unknowingly did. Her heart was beating rapidly. When she managed to curb it, her eyes gazed into a pair of bottomless black eyes as soon as she raised her head. In an instant, she was unable to move, as though her soul had been seduced and she could only silently swallow her saliva with a besotted face. 

"What's with that expression?" 

Listening to her swallow, Jungkook's face turned green and couldn't help chiding her. With a blushing face, she slowly slid off his body. Her soft chest inadvertently rubbed against his arm. The sensation from the sharp protrusions to a certain smoothness immediately turned his entire body stiff. 

Damn it! She didn't even wear any undergarments. 

Lisa seemed to notice his stiffness. Her eyes spun and the intention to tease sprung within her. So, she propped her arms up and tried to clamber over him again, but he noticed her intent and raised his big palm to hold her down his chest before scolding angrily, "Are you done yet?" 

"I'm thirsty..." she pouted her pink lips with a pitiable look. 

Jungkook could feel her sweaty clothes, thus he lifted the gauze canopy to let her get down from the side of his body and said, "If you feel too hot, go sleep in Liu Shuang courtyard."
