First Night Part 1

Long Tian carried his wife up the stairs and turned left.

Qing Yue curiously took in her surroundings. As wide and spacious as the Li Mansion, the Long Mansion radiated an aura of majesty and nobility. The second floor of the mansion was clear of security guards.

However, there were metal detectors embedded on the glass corners and ceilings.

On this side of the Long Mansion was a three-person silver sitting table leaning against the glass wall and a metal door which probably led to a room.

Long Tian walked to the metal door and a red flare light lit up and scanned his facial features.

"Face recognition clear!" The red flare vanished with the clearance of the robotic voice, and an eye scanner popped out. It slid forward and fixed on Long Tian's pupils, another red flare swept down and scanned his irises.

"Eye scan clear. Welcome back, Young Master Long." With an audible click, the door slid apart.

"Yue'er this is my room. From today, it will be ours." Long Tian looked down at his wife with a smile on his face.

Qing Yue turned her head and her eyes swept around the room. In black and blue design and decoration, the room's layout was the complete opposite of her room in Li Mansion.

"Brother Tian, since this is my room as well, does that mean I can make changes to the decoration and layout?" The energy here was too manly. Qing Yue wanted to add a little feminine touch to the place to make it feel more like home.

"Of course. If you want to change something, you can just have the housekeepers add or remove it. But..." Long Tian paused, an awkward expression on his face.

"But?" There was a but?

Qing Yue was curious and looked expectantly at him.

"Can you wait until you're better? If you overwork yourself, you'll impede your recovery."

"Oh...But I'll be sitting on my automatic chair..."

"The doctor said you need to get a lot of rest and focus on recovery." Long Tian's heart clenched when he recalled her report.

According to the treatment plans the physicians came up with, his wife needed to be in a good condition before her physical treatment could start.

If the matter was only about decorating a room, he wouldn't care. But if the process will impede and affect her physical and mental condition, then he couldn't be careless.

"Okay..." Qing Yue deflated into his arms, her face becoming downcast.

Sensing her sour mood, Long Tian felt conflicted. Keeping her happy was also a necessity to her good recovery. If she became depressed because of this, then wouldn't that affect her mental condition?

"Yue'er, don't be upset. How about this? I'll help you redecorate the room. But promise me you'll inform me when you feel tired or exhausted." He seriously looked at her and compromised.

Qing Yue's eyes brightened and she joyously nodded.

Sigh. I hope I haven't made a mistake in compromising.

Shaking his head, he walked towards his bed, now theirs, and froze.

As he looked at the bed, there was a strange feeling in his heart. This would be the first time in his 21 years of life that he'd be sharing his room and bed with another person. Not to mention, this person was a female.

"Yue'er, get some rest. I'll take a little shower as well." Laying her on the blue mattress, he covered her figure with the black blanket and gently coaxed her to sleep.

After a long day of getting crowded by noisy reporters and clashing with the six women at the Long Mansion, Qing Yue was truly tired. The moment her husband laid her on the bed, she fell into a deep slumber.

Long Tian ensured his wife was asleep before garbing a change of clothes and entering the washroom.

Since he signed the marriage certificate, he'd spent the past month in the hospital accompanying his wife. This would be his first night sleeping in his own room after his marriage.

He returned to the bed in black sleepwear and entered the blanket from the other side. With his wife sleeping beside him, Long Tian sighed and closed his eyes.

On the other side, the six women in the Main Hall kept their gaze glued to the stairs, waiting for Long Tian's return.

"Aunt Qin, why is Brother Tian not back yet? He seriously couldn't be considering spending the first night with that ugly goblin, could he?" Yi Man asked with great anxiety.

It was already bad enough that the man she had her sight fixed on married an ugly cripple. If he were to spend the first night with the ugly cripple as well, she'd faint from a heart attack.

Yi Qin scowled, her anxiety wasn't any lower than the young lady, but she maintained a calm façade.

"Man'er, watch your words. Tian Tian might have gotten emotionally blackmailed into marrying the ugly wretch, but he isn't brain dead to sleep with a bandaged cripple. Besides, her injuries haven't healed for them to do the deed."

"Aunt Qin, you know me. I didn't mean anything by my words. I'm just too anxious because Brother Tian has gone up so long, but his figure is nowhere to be seen." The young lady slinked to her aunt's side and cutely held her arm.

"Mother, I sister Man Man's worry is reasonable. Brother went up long ago, why hasn't he returned yet?"

"Who knows what he's doing up there. Either way, he'll come down on his own when he's done serving his wife. Now stop hording around me and go home. Your parents must be worried." Dismissively shooing them away, Yi Qin got up and left the Main Hall.

Even though she acted oblivious, she wasn't blind to the way the girls looked at her son. And though they were her nieces, they weren't her ideal daughter-in-law material.

Yi Man and the three ladies' expression turned awkward, not knowing whether to curse or cry in the presence of the Long Young Mistress.

Their Aunt was clearly kicking them out. But they really didn't want to leave!

Not until they found out what was happening upstairs, anyways.

"Sister Yuwen, I hope aunt Qin isn't dissatisfied with us. We didn't mean to talk bad about Brother Tian. We're just worried that ugly goblin will try something with him. "

"Yes, Sister Yuwen. An ugly cripple like her must've never dreamed of marrying an outstanding man like Brother Tian. Now that she got him, she won't allow him to escape her clutches that easily."

"But what can we do about this situation? Brother Tian considers her his wife and carried, he carried, the cripple to his bedroom!"

"Yi Shu and Long Chu, the two of you calm down. Mother said it earlier, didn't she? My brother isn't a fool to sleep with a cripple. Heh...and if you look at it from a different perspective, this might be a good development." A sinister light flashed through Long Yuwen's eyes as she lowly chuckled.

"Good development? Yuwen, how is this a good development? The two of them are sharing a room!" Yi Man was exasperated. At such a time, was Long Yuwen losing her sanity?

The ugly wench could be using the sympathy card to keep Long Tian beside!

"Yes, and if brother happens to see her hideous face and scars without bandages at this time, what do you think he'll do?"

Instantly, the room fell silent.

Then the four women exchanged glances and an eerie smile spread across their finely powdered faces.

"All men are beasts that chase after beauty. If Brother Tian sees the horrid scars marring her face and body, let alone share a bed, he'd feel too disgusted to stay in the same room!"
