Chapter 397: Was the Stimulation a Bit Much?
’Well, if I’m going to do it, I might as well just do it!’ Besides, Shen Nian also wanted to see how Lu Cheng would react.
However, what Shen Nian didn’t realize at that moment was that for men, some topics are eternal taboos—never to be brought up lightly.
"So, is what they’re saying true or not? Ah Cheng, are you... you know... capable in that department?"
Before she spoke, Shen Nian took a deep breath to brace herself.
And yet, even after mentally preparing, once the words were out, Shen Nian was as nervous as if she’d just done something terrible.
"That department?"
Lu Cheng looked at Shen Nian and asked in confusion. It didn’t take long, however, for him to realize what she meant by "that department."
After all, it wasn’t that Lu Cheng hadn’t heard what Zhang Yuanjun said earlier; he had just temporarily pushed it to the back of his mind, overshadowed by more important matters concerning Shen Nian.
Now that it was brought up again—and by Shen Nian of all people—Lu Cheng could no longer ignore it.
Watching Lu Cheng’s expression slowly darken, Shen Nian knew he understood what she was asking.
Anyone else, upon seeing Lu Cheng’s expression turn so sour, would have immediately dropped the subject, knowing better than to ask for trouble.
But this was Shen Nian. And while she might not be sure of much else, there was one thing she was absolutely certain of.
No matter the circumstances, Lu Cheng would never hurt her. He probably wouldn’t even get truly angry with her.
So, if Shen Nian dared to tease Lu Cheng like this, it was only because he himself had given her the confidence, allowing her to act so fearlessly.
"Everyone’s saying it, and you’ve always been... reluctant. So..."
As she spoke, a look of grievance appeared on her face, which immediately made Lu Cheng anxious.
"I... I’m not reluctant."
’How could I be reluctant! I went through so much to marry her. I’m madly in love with her, so how could I possibly be reluctant!’
"If you’re not reluctant, then why do you always..."
Although Shen Nian was trying to tease Lu Cheng, her words were also filled with her genuine feelings.
Of course, Shen Nian knew why Lu Cheng never went all the way, but it pained her to see him taking a cold shower every time.
’Maybe this is the perfect chance to help Lu Cheng break through his mental barrier!’
’Then again,’ she thought, ’the price I have to pay is pretty high! Usually, the man is supposed to take the lead. Why do I have to be the one coaxing my own husband into doing something with me?’
’I can never tell anyone about this. Absolutely not. It’s too embarrassing!’
"I..."
Before Lu Cheng could say anything, Shen Nian spoke again. This time, however, she decided to up the ante.
’Since I’ve already come this far,’ she figured, ’I might as well be a little more blunt.’
"Is it true what they’re saying? Do you really have... a problem? It’s okay if you do, really. We can go see a doctor..."
Shen Nian’s voice trailed off mid-sentence. She could feel the air around Lu Cheng beginning to change.
Of course, Shen Nian didn’t actually suspect Lu Cheng had a problem—she was just joking around to force his hand! But seeing his sudden change, her heart still clenched.
