Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War - Chapter 262

Third-person POV   After staying still with the hugging position, both of them fell into a deep sleep until they were called by the servants for dinner. Di Shang groaned as an answer to the servants’ call. Even though he knew that it was time for dinner and Meiyun who was in the healing process need to eat at the specific time, he couldn’t pull himself out from the warmth of the woman in his embrace.   He snuggled closer to Meiyun and breathed in her calming scent. He stared at the back of her head and couldn’t help but broke into a smile. He pressed his lips against her silky hair and enjoyed the silent moment.   “Mmmhh,” Meiyun groaned when she felt there was something pressed against the back of her head.   “You are awake?” Di Shang asked after he pecked Meiyun’s plump lips.   “Mhhh,” Meiyun groaned and turned her body around to face Di Shang.   She put her arms around Di Shang’s board chest and nestled in his arms. Di Shang chuckled and combed Meiyun’s tangled hair.   “Let’s eat dinner.” Di Shang patted Meiyun’s bottom.   “Mhhh,” Meiyun reluctantly let go of her natural warm bottle and slowly sat up.   Di Shang helped the sleepy Meiyun to wear another layer of cloth because the servants would come in to serve their dinner. She smiled at him as a thank for helping her because she felt especially weary at the moment that even opening her eyes was very hard.   But Di Shang stole a kiss from the tired Meiyun as a bonus for the help that he offered. Meiyun helplessly chuckled at her husband’s neediness. They walked to the dining table while the servants laid out all of the nutritious dishes on the dining table.   Di Shang took the chopstick from Meiyun’s hand and voluntarily fed her bit by bit. At first, Meiyun wanted to turn down Di Shang and eat by herself as she felt that she wasn’t so weak that she couldn’t eat by herself. Yet, after looking at Di Shang’s firm expression, she could only sigh in defeat and be as obedient as a puppy does.   It didn’t take a long time for them to finish the whole dishes. The servants swiftly cleaned up the table and withdrew from the room since they noticed the warm atmosphere that was happening between the couple and didn’t want to disturb the great atmosphere.   “Shang Tang…I have something to tell you.” Meiyun started after she checked the servants were gone.   Di Shang looked at her and held her hand because he could feel the nervousness in Meiyun’s eyes, “What is it? I will gladly listen to it.”   Di Shag smoothly guided Meiyun back to the bed and sat beside her. Meiyun was fidgeting with her hand to distract herself from the tension she was having in her heart.   “I-I met our son.” Meiyun bit her lips because even she found the words that came out from her own mouth were unbelievable.   “What?” Di Shang asked with a pure puzzlement written all over his face.   Their child was dead before it was born and Meiyun said that she met their child, furthermore, Meiyun knew the gender of their child which was hard to believe because she had only been pregnant for about a month and it was impossible to find out the gender of the child even if it was a godly physician.   “I know it is hard to believe but please! Believe me…Yes, I hide things from you but I never lied to you and I never wanted to. So please…” Meiyun grabbed Di Shang’s hand and pressed her forehead against his fist.   Di Shang stared at Meiyun and caressed her hair, “I trust you.”   Meiyun whipped up her head to look at Di Shang, she didn’t expect to hear Di Shang’s answer so soon. Her eyes bulged open in disbelief, “You trust me? Even when I am spouting nonsense?”   “Why not?” Di Shang pressed his lips against Meiyun’s forehead.   Meiyun’s eyes became glassy, she hugged Di Shang and sobbed in his embrace. Di Shang circled his arms around Meiyun and leisurely swayed side to side.   “I-I’m sorry…Because of me, we lost our child. Guang Liang, is a very good kid…he sacrificed himself for me. What kind of mother am I? Using the life of my son to save mine.” Meiyun pounded Di Shang’s chest with her fists and cried her heart out.   “En, he is our son. So you named him Guang Liang, en, it is a beautiful name. He inherited your traits, that’s why he is a very good kid.” Di Shang uttered softly near Meiyun’s eyes. (光亮 (Guang Liang): Luminous, bright)   “I am being serious right now uugghhh~” Meiyun rubbed her head on his chest as if drilling her head into his chest.   Di Shang’s chest went up and down as he laughed out loud at Meiyun, “Okay okay~”   Meiyun stayed silent for a moment before she continued, “I am sorry that I didn’t tell you about my pregnancy. I was afraid that you won’t let me go if you know about it. I vowed my life to Her Majesty Empress so I have no choice. I am truly sorry.”   Di Shang sighed and pulled her away from his embrace. He stared deep into her eyes and lightly knocked her head with his knuckles. “Of course I won’t let you go. As a husband, I have to prioritize you and my heir above all things.”   Meiyun lowered her head and apologized, “I’m sor-”   “At the same time, as a general, I have to obey His Majesty Emperor’s order and protect my people at all costs. So it isn’t fully your fault, you shouldn’t blame yourself, you hear me?” Di Shang said while he gripped on her hand.   Meiyun was staring at him as if she couldn’t give him her answer. She couldn’t be sure if she wouldn’t blame herself again even if it was not her fault, to begin with. Di Shang knitted his brows when Meiyun looks very hesitant.   “Do.you.hear.me?” Di Shang repeated but with a more emphatic voice.   He didn’t want Meiyun to hurt herself like she always did before and he knew her very well that she wouldn’t break her promise that easily. That’s why he did this to ensure Meiyun heard his words clearly without any misunderstanding behind it.   “E-en,” Meiyun averted her eyes and lightly nodded her head.   “Good, I never expected you to tell me everything right now but if there is something burdening you, tell me, rely on me, I will definitely do my best to help you. We are husband and wife, there is nothing that needs to be hide from. Do you understand?” Di Shang insisted.   “En,” Meiyun obediently nodded her head.   The room instantly fell silent after Meiyun answered his question. Since Di Shang was a composed man, he enjoyed the silence whilst fondling Meiyun’s hands. He didn’t notice Meiyun’s lips that were pressed together in anxiousness. She took a deep breath and gained the courage to ask Di Shang directly.   “Shang Tang ahh…You…” Meiyun halted as she rethought whether the question was appropriate to be asked.   “Hm?” Di Shang lifted his eyes up to look at her and slightly tilted his head to the side.   Meiyun bit her lips as she was still uncertain, “Do you take in another wife?”   Di Shang was taken aback with the unexpected question, his whole body froze as he didn’t know how to respond to the question. Meiyun became more nervous when Di Shang’s body suddenly stopped moving, even his smile faltered.   ‘Did he really…’ Meiyun’s eyes were wide open.   Noticed that she was staring too hard at Di Shang, Meiyun diverted her eyes and laughed awkwardly.   “Of-of course you have. It is not unusual if you take in a few more wives and I won’t mind it too. since you can’t have any s.e.x.u.a.l intercourse because I was in a coma for more than three months. Eh-ehehehe~” She muttered with her trembling voice.   Di Shang’s straight brows furrowed into a deep crease, “What are you talking about?”   “Eh?” Meiyun uttered in disbelief.   Di Shang sighed when Meiyun was staring at him with her glassy eyes, “I didn’t take any woman into this household. My only wife is the most beautiful woman that is sitting in front of me and her name is Meiyun.” Di Shang airily flicked Meiyun’s forehead.   Meiyun’s face changed into a red shade in a second. She turned away to avoid Di Shang’s teasing gaze.   “How can you hold out three months no s*x, unbelievable…” Meiyun cursed under her breath.   Di Shang laughed and gently pushed Meiyun on the bed, “I don’t know what kind of man made you think like that but not all men only think about s*x. Some of them marry the love of their life just because they want to stay beside their loved ones. Nevertheless, there exist, men, that crazed over s*x which means you are partially correct.”   “So which one are you?” Meiyun asked with a sly smirk on her lips.   “Me? Guess…” Di Shang teased.   “I don’t know, maybe you only want my body.” Meiyun stuck out her tongue.   Never did she expect, Di Shang would smooch her out of her life. At first, Meiyun followed along with the pace but as time passed by, the kiss slowly grew more intense and passionate that Meiyun panted in the kiss. Di Shang’s tongue explored every inch of Meiyun’s mouth, leaving no spot untouched.   The time Di Shang retracted his tongue, Meiyun had ascended to cloud nine. Her eyes were half-open with her mouth open gasping for air. Satisfied by his art piece, Di Shang planted a kiss on the crook of her neck as the last touch.   “I guess I am both of it.” Di Shang chuckled.
