Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun speechlessly, and then... reached out his sinful hand and rubbed Nan Zhiyun's face.

"It hurts..." Nan Zhiyun touched her face.

"You didn't even use any force, why does it hurt? You're so delicate." Although Yu Jingchen said this, he still let go of her hand, which was a little red.

"What did you just call out?" Yu Jingchen asked her.

Nan Zhiyun didn't even dare to look Yu Jingchen in the eye, but she still repeated, "Young Master..."

"Do you think this is appropriate? By calling yourself that, where do you place yourself?" Yu Jingchen "patiently guided."

“Then… what is it called?” Nan Zhiyun was stunned.

"What do you think?" Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun speechlessly.

"Then... Master?" Nan Zhiyun carefully observed Yu Jingchen's expression.

"Nan Zhiyun!" Yu Jingchen called out.

Nan Zhiyun trembled in fright. Was something still wrong?

"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun said innocently.

Yu Jingchen couldn't do anything about her.

"Call me husband," Yu Jingchen said bluntly.

Nan Zhiyun was quite startled by the word "husband." Call him "husband"? Was she crazy? Regardless of what kind of person Yu Jingchen was, she shouldn't have called him that just based on her status.

"Can't say it out loud? Is it that difficult?" Yu Jingchen asked her.

"No... Your Majesty, this is against the rules." Nan Zhiyun lowered her eyes. In the past, she had always longed to call him that, but she did not have the right to do so.

"Have you forgotten what I told you before? What are the rules? I've said them, that's enough." Yu Jingchen put his arm around Nan Zhiyun: "Just call me that, don't get it wrong, or you'll be punished, hmm?" Yu Jingchen "threatened".

Nan Zhiyun: "..."

"What punishment?" Nan Zhiyun blurted out without thinking, only realizing she had asked an unnecessary question after she finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Nan Zhiyun felt a little nervous. In the end, she was still afraid of Yu Jingchen. Yu Jingchen understood this as well, but what could he do? He could only take it slowly.

"It's alright, what's the big deal? Don't be nervous. From now on, you should say whatever comes to mind and express yourself however you want in front of my son. Don't be so nervous, okay?" Yu Jingchen tried his best to make his voice sound gentle.

“Yes…” Nan Zhiyun still felt lingering fear towards Yu Jingchen.

"It's okay, don't worry." Yu Jingchen knew he had frightened her, so he gently pulled her into his arms and slowly comforted her.

"Let's grab something to eat first, and then we can go wherever you want, okay?" Yu Jingchen changed the subject.

“Hmm…” Nan Zhiyun was also reflecting on herself. These days, Yu Jingchen had been very indulgent towards her, to the point that she had been losing her manners in front of him lately.

"Okay, is there anything you want to eat?" Yu Jingchen continued to ask, lest Nan Zhiyun continue to overthink.

"Anything is fine," Nan Zhiyun replied. She wasn't actually a picky eater. Although the Empress Dowager and Nan Su doted on her, they wouldn't allow her to be picky. And although she was usually pampered with fine clothes and delicacies, they would still let Nan Zhiyun taste some common flavors.

Nan Zhiyun had eaten a lot of simple meals, after all, besides spoiling her, they also hoped to teach Nan Zhiyun more principles.

Yu Jingchen and Nan Zhiyun arrived at the largest restaurant in the capital, but they did not get off their carriage at the entrance, as there were many people there.

Upon arriving at their destination, Yu Jingchen alighted from the carriage first. Qianxia had intended to greet Nan Zhiyun, but Yu Jingchen beat her to it.

"Come down." Yu Jingchen said. Nan Zhiyun lifted the curtain and felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Yu Jingchen, but she still followed his hand and got down.

"Take this with you." Yu Jingchen took the veiled hat over.

"Okay," Nan Zhiyun agreed, and then tried to take the hat from him, but Yu Jingchen didn't give it to her; instead, he put it on her himself.

"There are a lot of people outside, so put it on first. You can take it off if you don't want to wear it anymore later," Yu Jingchen said.

"Yes," Nan Zhiyun said without any objection.

After Yu Jingchen put the veil on Nan Zhiyun, he took her hand and led her towards the restaurant.

Nan Zhiyun followed closely behind, as Yu Jingchen had already arranged for a room to be prepared. The place was bustling with business, and the food was delicious, so there were many customers. Yu Jingchen gestured for Nan Zhiyun to walk to the inside, leaning against the railing, and then gently placed his hand behind her to shield her from any accident.

The two went up to the second floor and were led by the waiter to the room that had been prepared for them in the morning. The room was spacious and warm, with a stove burning inside.

"Alright, take them off now, and you can take off your cloak too." Yu Jingchen said as he helped Nan Zhiyun take off her veil and cloak, and then handed them to Qianxia.

"You're no longer needed here, you can leave," Yu Jingchen ordered. The servants all withdrew, but two people remained outside to guard the area.

There are many high-ranking officials and nobles here, so it's quite normal for them to have two guards or servants at the entrance.

Yu Jingchen and Nan Zhiyun hadn't been seated for long when the waiter started serving the dishes, mostly tailored to Nan Zhiyun's tastes, along with a small pot of wine. However… this wine was obviously not intended for Nan Zhiyun.

After the waiter finished serving all the dishes, Yu Jingchen began to serve Nan Zhiyun soup: "You can have some soup to tide you over first." Yu Jingchen placed the bowl full of soup in front of Nan Zhiyun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Nan Zhiyun said.

"What did I tell you before? What's your name?" Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun.

“There’s no one else here right now,” Nan Zhiyun said.

“It won’t work if we don’t have it. What if we get used to it and start calling it whatever comes to mind?” Yu Jingchen retorted.

Nan Zhiyun: "..."

"Can't bring yourself to say it?" Yu Jingchen asked deliberately.

“Hmm…” Nan Zhiyun did not deny it.

"It's alright, let's eat first." Yu Jingchen wasn't in a hurry.

Then she poured herself a glass of wine, and Nan Zhiyun's attention was frequently drawn to the wine in Yu Jingchen's hand.

Yu Jingchen also noticed, after all, Nan Zhiyun's gaze was indeed very intense, but... Yu Jingchen rarely drinks, so it was unusual for him to order a pot of wine today.

"What's wrong? Want to try it?" Yu Jingchen put down his wine glass.

"May I try it?" Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen with some anticipation. She used to quite like these things.

"Of course not, this is wine, how can you drink it?" Yu Jingchen's lips curved slightly, and Nan Zhiyun was somewhat disappointed.

“Yes…” Nan Zhiyun didn’t continue.

“But trying just a little bit isn’t a big problem, you can have just a tiny bit,” Yu Jingchen changed his mind.

Nan Zhiyun's eyes lit up immediately.

“But…” Yu Jingchen changed the subject again.
