"Hmm? What did you just say?" Di Beiyao narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes, looking at Jun Wuji with a sinister gaze.

"That woman is suspicious?"

"No, the previous sentence!"

"Aren't you afraid of running into bad guys?"

"No! The sentence before that!"

"That woman was beautiful..." Jun Wuji was halfway through his sentence when he felt Di Beiyao grab his ear again.

"You say other women are beautiful in front of me? Jun Wuji, do you deserve a beating?!"

The Empress is a possessive and stingy woman!

A burst of hearty laughter echoed throughout the room.

Di Beiyao was even angrier. "What are you laughing at?!"

That bastard, doesn't he know how to repent?!

Seeing the little woman in his arms with such a fierce and unruly expression, Jun Wuji couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that Jun Wuji showed no sign of stopping, Di Beiyao's face darkened, and he turned his back, intending to ignore this bastard Jun Wuji.

Seeing his little woman's sullen back, Jun Wuji managed to suppress the laughter in his heart.

She reached out and turned Di Beiyao's body so that he was facing her directly, her narrow phoenix eyes looking straight into Di Beiyao's dark eyes.

"Was Yao'er jealous just now?"

Di Beiyao's face darkened, and he awkwardly turned his head away. "I didn't."

Hmph, would she, a powerful empress, do something as childish as being jealous?! No way!

A large hand gently turned Di Beiyao's face back towards him, and their eyes met.

"Really not?" His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were full of mockery.

Di Beiyao was instantly enraged. What did this bastard mean? Was he making fun of her?!

Enraged, he retorted, "Yes, yes! I'm just jealous, so what? I'm just uncomfortable when you praise other women for being pretty!"

I'm just possessive, I'm just petty... um."

Her red lips were sealed, and looking at the handsome face so close to hers, Di Beiyao's beautiful phoenix eyes flashed with surprise, anger, and... well, a touch of shyness.

They've rebelled! That bastard Jun Wuji is taking advantage of her again!

It was just a kiss.

Jun Wuji looked into Di Beiyao's dark eyes, his expression serious. "I am very happy."

"Huh?" Di Beiyao was confused. What was that bastard talking about?

"I am very happy that Yao'er is jealous of me, which means that Yao'er cares about me too."

Di Beiyao looked away uncomfortably and snorted.

Jun Wuji lowered his forehead to Di Beiyao's, his long, narrow phoenix eyes filled with deep affection.

"I swear, in my heart, Yao'er is the most beautiful! I will never mention any other woman again. However, I also hope that Yao'er knows one thing."

Di Beiyao wrinkled his nose. "What is it?"

"I'm quite stingy with you, Yao'er, so could you perhaps consider my feelings in the future?"

“But Little Red Bean is a girl,” Di Beiyao said speechlessly.

"Why does Yao'er like that woman so much?" Jun Wuji asked, puzzled.

"Because Little Red Bean is pretty." Di Beiyao said matter-of-factly. She really liked good-looking people, and besides, Little Red Bean gave her a strange sense of closeness.

"Am I not as good-looking as her?"

Upon hearing Jun Wuji's words, Di Beiyao almost burst out laughing.

She reached out and pinched Jun Wuji's handsome face. "Jun Wuji, are you competing with Little Red Bean for my affections?"

Comparing looks to Little Red Bean? Are you trying to be too cute?

Jun Wuji used his large hand to grab Di Beiyao's hand that was messing with his face.

His narrow phoenix eyes were full of seriousness. "Yao'er, your husband is serious. Who is more handsome, your husband or her?"
