Chu Tianling carried her baby straight back to her room. She was furious when she saw someone holding her hand today.

"Jiaojiao, that Liu Piaopiao is obviously no good. You must stay away from him in the future!"

"He even tried to pull me away. Let me make it clear first, I don't like him."

He took Shen Jiaojiao's hand, placed it on his face, and said seriously, "Jiaojiao, I don't like him, and I don't like anyone else. I only like you, so don't push me to someone else."

Shen Jiaojiao blushed; he was really serious.

It is said that men in ancient times had three wives and four concubines, and emperors had even more, with three thousand beauties in their harems.

But now there is someone who excels in status, position, and appearance, and whose heart and eyes are only for you, so earnestly confessing his feelings to you.

It's really hard not to be tempted.

Well, he's already so serious, I'll just give him a perfunctory agreement.

"Okay, I understand," Shen Jiaojiao replied softly.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Chu Tianling felt that he had nowhere to release his overflowing love.

Suddenly, he picked up the alluring little vixen in front of him with one hand, lifted her chin with the other, and kissed her tempting red lips.

He first used his lips to carefully outline his alluring lips, feeling as if these delicate jelly-like lips were some kind of addictive drug. He couldn't help but indulge in them, wanting only to absorb more and more.

Chu Tianling slightly opened his eyes, looking at the little beauty in front of him. His face slowly flushed, and his charming eyes closed and trembled slightly.

These are all blossoms because of myself, and a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously.

Jiaojiao, my Jiaojiao, I really love you!

Since ancient times, men have never been able to shake the urge to carry a woman they like into a cave.

Chu Tianling was in this situation. He felt as if his hands were out of his control, and he started to take off his clothes one by one.

As each piece of clothing was removed from her body, her delicate skin was exposed to the air. When Chu Tianling saw this, he was almost infatuated, and his eyes turned red.

He held him even tighter in his arms, and his lips began to move, dancing gently on the swan-like neck.

His fingers deliberately slid across her delicate back, feeling her panting and trembling, and he felt his heart tremble along with her.

This is an experience unlike anything I've ever had before, that's it!

Feeling happy because of myself, shedding tears because of myself, trembling because of myself, and experiencing joy because of myself.

It's all because of myself!

It was this close contact that gave him a sense of authenticity.

She's mine!

I want her.

"Jiaojiao, I'm going crazy, can you give it to me?" he pleaded in a low voice.

With her last shred of reason, Shen Jiaojiao shook her head rapidly.

Chu Tianling felt a slight pang in his heart. He could sense that she clearly cared about him, and she had been happy just now, so why was she shaking her head?

He bit down lightly on the full shoulder as punishment, leaving a faint tooth mark. He didn't dare bite too hard; it hurt his heart.

"Why? We're already husband and wife, aren't we? This is all normal."

He looked pitifully at the heartless woman, his large hand already greedily climbing to the peak.

Shen Jiaojiao trembled and said in a shivering voice, "No, I'm only sixteen, I'm too young. It's not good for my health to lose my virginity now."

Chu Tianling was about to explode, his mind was going crazy, his eyes were fixed on the tormenting little vixen, and he asked patiently, "How much longer? How much longer do I have to wait before you give it to me?"

Shen Jiaojiao felt like she was floating in the sky, almost losing control of herself: "Wait until I'm 20."

Chu Tianling started to get anxious at the thought of having to wait another four years.

It's not that I can't wait, but I have a sense of fear. I'm already twenty, and in an ordinary family, I would have been a father long ago.

After countless lifetimes, he finally managed to have a wife, but even though he could see and touch her every day, he just couldn't have her.

I felt anxious, angry, and scared!

He knew very well that he himself was the one who couldn't live without others.

Jiaojiao can choose to be with any man, but I can't; I can only be with Jiaojiao.

During this time we've spent together, I've completely devoted myself to her.

He felt like a pitiful beggar, pleading for a little bit of love from the other person.

"Jiaojiao, I can wait for you, but you have to promise to love only me and belong only to me. My heart is all yours. I'll go crazy without you. I don't know what I'll do if I go crazy."

"Okay!" Shen Jiaojiao readily agreed, determined to carry on the karma she had sown, even if it meant crawling on her knees.

I'm somewhat satisfied with this answer for now: "Jiaojiao, I won't touch you right now, but I feel really uncomfortable, you have to help me!"

He took the other person's hand and slowly lowered them down.

...Use your imagination, hehe.

…

At this moment, Zhao Ruyue and Zhang Jie, who were far away in Jiangnan, were riding in a carriage and rushing back to the capital.

Having received a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince instructing them to pay attention to the Liu family in Jiangnan, the two of them simply sped up their journey and headed directly to Jiangnan.

"Lord Zhang, how much do you know about the Liu family of Jiangnan?" Zhao Ruyue asked curiously, as this was her first time leaving the capital.

After a few days of getting to know each other, Zhang Jie's feelings for Zhao Ruyue deepened, and now he looked at her without any pretense.

"The Liu family are great scholars, with countless students all over the world. Many famous students were taught by them."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruyue was filled with admiration for these cultured people. She had wanted to learn but never had the chance when she was a child. She said enviously, "Wow, that's wonderful! His family must have many impressive members!"

Zhang Jie suddenly fell silent, his mind replaying the events, but there was nothing... it seemed there really wasn't.

"What's wrong, Lord Zhang? Is it because there are too many famous people and you don't know how to say it?" Zhao Ruyue understood after thinking about it for a moment.

Indeed, with such excellent conditions, they must be an outstanding family from a scholarly background.

Zhang Jie looked at the silly girl who was still lost in her imagination and didn't know how to answer her.

Previously, when the Crown Prince asked him to investigate the Liu family, he was unsure how to proceed. Now, however, it seems like a good starting point.

"I don't know much about the Liu family. I only know that Consort Liu in the palace came from the Liu family in Jiangnan. I haven't heard much about the others."

Zhao Ruyue stared at him, seemingly unconvinced: "Huh? That's it?"

Zhang Jie blushed under her gaze, his eyes darting away: "Hmm! It seems so."

Zhao Ruyue immediately disbelieved: "What's going on with the Liu family? It can't be that there's only one person, Consort Liu, right? The Liu family's reputation is so great that it can't be supported by just one or two people. How can this be so strange?"

Zhang Jie nodded in agreement: "Indeed, His Highness the Crown Prince asked us to investigate the Liu family. We didn't know the direction before, but once we can investigate in this direction, we might have unexpected gains."
