Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Chapter 209 Bruises

Su Wuli's hand trembled slightly in his palm.

After Yu Chen released her grip, she forgot to retract her hand and it remained pressed against his abs.

She looked down at the water and saw through the surface that his hand had moved away from hers.

He gently pressed on her lower back and urged in a deep voice, "Awu, the water is getting cold."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli snapped out of her daze, looked up at him with a reproachful expression.

The man's lips curled up slightly, giving him an air of certainty.

Su Wuli bit the soft flesh inside her lip, took a deep breath, and slowly moved her fingers on his abdominal muscles.

His skin was slippery in the water, and his abdominal muscles visibly tensed when my fingers brushed against it.

I could clearly feel it in my palm.

Su Wuli looked up at him. The man's face was expressionless, but she noticed that his Adam's apple moved slightly and his breathing became heavier for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Su Wuli had an idea.

The hand underwater moved deliberately, but extremely slowly.

My hand slid down his abs, down to his V-line.

The next moment, I noticed his muscles tense up and his breathing suddenly changed.

Su Wuli stopped, looked up at him, blinked her eyes innocently, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Chen's jaw tightened, he gritted his teeth, and stared at her without saying a word.

Su Wuli looked down at her hand, which was pressed against his lower abdomen, her fingers slightly curled.

The water was really cold, and she couldn't help but shiver.

The man wrapped his long arm around her and pulled her closer, resting his chin on the top of her head.

"Get up first."

His voice was still hoarse.

Su Wuli nodded.

Yu Chen carried her out of the bathtub, water flowing down their bodies and onto the floor.

He freed one hand to take a cloth from the shelf, wrapped it around her, and then placed her on the small stool next to him.

Su Wuli sat there wrapped up, her hair wet, watching him.

Yu Chen picked up another handkerchief to wipe the water off himself, and after wiping himself a few times, he stopped and looked at her.

When she met the man's gaze, Su Wuli froze for a second before suddenly realizing that he was completely naked.

He quickly looked away, pretending that nothing had happened.

Yu Chen didn't say anything, but Su Wuli could vaguely hear the rustling sound of him putting on his clothes.

He quickly pulled on some trousers and lifted her off the stool.

The cloth slipped unexpectedly, and Su Wuli quickly reached out to grab it.

Su Wuli noticed that Yu Chen looked down and seemed to smile, but she didn't hear him.

He walked quickly, and she buried her face in the crook of his neck, smelling the scent of soap on his skin mingling with her own.

Once inside, Yu Chen placed her on the couch.

Su Wuli lay on the mattress, the cloth covering her body loosening, and she reached out to pull it back.

However, the next second, Yu Chen had already pulled the blanket over her waist.

The blanket was dark-colored, and she lay on it with her face resting on her arm, her hair spread out on the pillow.

His back was exposed, and the bruise below his shoulder blades was even more glaring in the candlelight than in the bathroom.

Yu Chen sat on the edge of the couch, holding a medicine bottle in his hand.

I uncorked it and poured some into my palm.

The smell of the medicine was somewhat pungent, making her nose itch.

The man's hand covered her back.

Her palms were hot, but the ointment was cool, and she shivered.

He pressed his fingers against the edge of the bruise and gently rubbed it.

"Ah...it hurts..." Su Wuli's voice was muffled by the pillow.

He didn't stop rubbing the bruises.

I rubbed the bruise from the edge to the center with my fingers, not too hard, but it hurt when I touched it.

Her breathing became shallower, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the pillow.

Yu Chen rubbed her again, and she hunched her shoulders and waist, causing the blanket to slide down a little and reveal her waist.

Su Wuli's waist was very slender, and the blanket was caught on her hip bones; if it were just a little slippery...

She instinctively reached out to pull the blanket up a bit.

However, before she could even make a move, Yu Chen had already pulled the blanket up a little.

He continued to rub.

"Gently..." Her voice came from under the pillow, soft and nasal.

The man's fingers paused for a moment, allowing Su Wuli a brief respite, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

He moved his hand slightly, then continued kneading, but with a little more force than before.

"Ouch—it hurts..."

Su Wuli couldn't help but shout out.

Short and rapid, accompanied by panting.

The man sitting next to her took a slightly heavier breath.

His hand was still on her back, rubbing the bruise.

Su Wuli's skin changed from cool to warm, and from white to pink.

She almost instinctively twisted her waist to try to dodge, but the blanket slipped down again.

This time she skated even further, exposing her entire waist, the lines and curves of her hips...

The white was dazzling against the dark edge of the blanket.

Yu Chen glanced at it and then helped pull the blanket up again.

Su Wuli lay face down on the tatami mat, and from the side, her curves resembled a half-cup.

They lay pressed on the dark mattress, like two clumps of snow.

The candlelight warmed her skin, making it look like a piece of jade on the dark mattress.

"Don't be so heavy..." Su Wuli pleaded intermittently.

Because his hand was still rubbing the bruise, her words were broken.

"Be gentle...be gentle...don't..."

Suddenly, his hand stopped.

Su Wuli gasped for breath, her shoulders slumping as if all her strength had been released.

She lay sprawled on the pillow, like a puddle of water.

Her face was buried in the pillow, with only half of her ear showing, and it was completely red.

His calloused hand was still pressed against her back, his palm burning hot.

"Don't want what?" Yu Chen's voice deepened.

Su Wuli didn't speak, her whole body seemed to be exhausted.

At this moment, his hand moved again, and Su Wuli couldn't help but gasp again.

"Don't stop?" Yu Chen asked.

Su Wuli couldn't help but lift her head from under the pillow and turn to look at him.

She stared at him with wet eyes, saying nothing.

Yu Chen looked at her, but then pressed his finger on her back again.

"You...you scoundrel." Her voice was hoarse, with a slight wheezing.

Yu Chen's lips twitched slightly. "How is applying medicine to you being a hooligan?"

Su Wuli hesitated, realizing that what he said made sense, but she knew he wasn't innocent.

Meeting his self-righteous gaze, she buried her face in the pillow and ignored him.

The hand on her body continued to massage, but the pressure seemed to have lessened.

Su Wuli fell silent, biting her pillow and occasionally taking a breath.

It's very light; you can't hear it unless you listen very carefully.

As she rubbed the medicine, Su Wuli's body swayed slightly with the force, rubbing up and down on the blanket.

She wasn't wearing anything, and her skin was chafed and felt uncomfortable.

Su Wuli couldn't help but let out a soft snort, and as she turned her head slightly, she saw the man's gaze fall on her.

Following his gaze, I looked down and saw that the cloth covering my body was almost useless for covering myself.

The curve of her lying face down was exceptionally clear.

The bruise on his back was still burning hot, and his fingers remained motionless.

Realizing what he was looking at, Su Wuli's gaze felt as if it had been burned by something.

She subconsciously buried her face in the pillow, her breathing becoming heavier.
