Chapter 194: Good Girl.
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.
Instead, she instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, seeking support and balance as they continued to indulge in their passionate embrace. Their lips locked in a fervent dance, fueling the growing desire between them.
Zheng Liang noticed the height disparity between himself and Yang Ning, and a frown momentarily creased his forehead. Being significantly taller than her, he realized that it posed a challenge for them to kiss comfortably.
To bridge the gap, Yang Ning had to rise on her tiptoes, while he had to stoop down slightly to meet her at eye level. Despite the inconvenience, their desire for each other surpassed any physical barriers, and they continued their passionate exchange, finding a way to make their connection feel natural and effortless.
To alleviate the inconvenience of their height difference, Zheng Liang swiftly made a bold decision. With one hand firmly holding onto Yang Ning\'s waist, he effortlessly lifted her into his arms.
"Raise your legs," Zheng Liang whispered in a raspy voice against their lips, his breath mingling with hers.
The sensual command sent shivers down Yang Ning\'s spine, intensifying the already heated atmosphere between them. Compelled by his words, she obediently followed his instruction, lifting her legs higher and wrapping them securely around his waist, creating a tighter and more intimate embrace.
The anticipation and desire in the air grew stronger as they surrendered to the passionate connection they shared, lost in a world of their creation. Their bodies melded together, their hearts beating in unison as they continued their passionate exchange, now free from the constraints of height.
The heat radiating from their intertwined bodies fueled their desires, creating a tantalizing and electrifying atmosphere. While the situation evoked a mix of embarrassment and exhilaration, their shared passion and connection overshadowed any self-consciousness, propelling them into a realm of blissful abandon.
However, this position was more scandalous and embarrassing than she had expected. Since her nightgown string was undone and she was naked from the upper front, her bare chest was touching his naked muscular chest as well, increasing the heat between the two bodies.
In their new position, Yang Ning couldn\'t suppress the mix of embarrassment and scandalous excitement coursing through her veins. Her cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson as she found herself in a compromising yet exhilarating situation.
The intensity of the moment caused her grip around his neck to loosen slightly as she instinctively raised her hands to cover herself, seeking a momentary shield from the surge of emotions and the vulnerability she felt.
"Stop," commanded Zheng Liang firmly, his voice filled with determination. He refused to let Yang Ning shield herself and hide the treasure that had finally revealed itself before him. He understood the significance of this moment and was resolved to embrace it fully.
"You\'ll lose your balance if you cover yourself," he murmured softly as their lips reluctantly parted, his words tinged with a hidden implication.
The underlying meaning behind his statement was clear - he didn\'t want her to shy away or hide her vulnerability from him. He desired her openness and authenticity, willing to embrace every aspect of her, both physically and emotionally.
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.
