Chapter 196 If the Fate Lasts Long (32)

Shi Jianli rubbed it with her fingertips, and when she felt it was almost done, she withdrew her hand and said, "Okay, you can go out now."

"Wait for me to come back." Mingzhao pinched her cheek.

"oh."

When the door was closed, Shi Jianli pulled the quilt over her head and rolled around on the bed.

Lanxing and Xianyue came over with water and asked with a smile, "Miss, can we wash your face?"

Shi Jianli poked her head out and said, "Okay."

After washing her face, eating something, rinsing her mouth, and changing into a light nightgown, Shi Jianli sat cross-legged on the bed, absent-mindedly looking at all the furnishings in the room.

Mingzhao came back and saw her sitting obediently on the bed. He quickened his pace and walked towards her. He leaned over and put his face close to her lips, "Madam, give me a kiss."

Shi Jianli did as he was told and Su Bai poked his face with her fingertips.

Mingzhao bit her finger, then stepped back with a smile on his face. "I smell of alcohol. Go wash up. I'll be back soon."

She nodded.

Mingzhao had washed up and changed into pajamas. When he came back, he saw that she had changed her posture and was sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs.

He smiled and held out his hand to her, "Come here and hug her."

Shi Jianli glanced at him, saw the gentle look in his eyes, and threw herself into his arms.

Mingzhao carried her closer to the bed, lowered his eyes and stared at the person in his arms, his fingertips sliding down her shoulders and neck, and his fingertips gently caressing her collarbone.

Shi Jianli put her hand on his shoulder and held his hand, her face burning, "If you want to kiss me, just do it, why are you staring at me?"

This made her even more nervous.

"Yaoyao, can you please kiss me first?"

"Okay." Shi Jianli kissed him on the cheek with trembling eyelashes, tilted her head to look at his expression, grasped his collar with her fingers, and kissed him on the lips, "Is this... okay?"

Mingzhao's eyes were still dark. He grabbed her waist, pressed her on the bed, lifted her chin and kissed her.

An ambiguous atmosphere arose in the room, and the candlelight reflected the swaying figure in the bed curtains.

The next day, Shi Jianli opened her eyes and saw him looking at her. She buried her head in his arms, nuzzled her head against his neck, and pulled his hand to her waist, saying softly, "Rub it for me. My waist is sore."

Mingzhao even picked her up and sat her up, massaging her waist with one hand while reaching for the small table beside the bed with the other hand to pour a glass of warm water and hand it to her lips, "Take a couple of sips to moisten your throat."

Shi Jianli glanced at his smiling eyes, lowered her head to drink some water, and leaned on his shoulder, "I'm hungry."

"Let them prepare breakfast."

"I don't want to move."

"Carry you to wash up."

Shi Jianli reached out and poked his Adam's apple, leaned over and kissed him, but before he could kiss her down, she covered her mouth with a provocative look.

Mingzhao patted her lower back slightly in a punitive manner, and when he was almost done, he dressed her.

Three days later, when he returned home, Shi Jianli woke up early in the morning. He got up and was about to step over Mingzhao to go out, but he reached out and pulled him, and he fell on him.

"Yaoyao got up so early."

"I can't sleep today because I'm going back to see my parents." Shi Jianli lay in his arms, pinched his face, and ordered: "Get up too, carry me to wash up."

Without waiting for his response, she spoke again: "I'm not going back to the Duke's Mansion tonight. I want to stay at my house for one night."

Mingzhao naturally agreed to everything. After washing up and having breakfast, he took the return gift and went back to Shi Mansion with her.

Shi Jianan and Qiao Ruowei had been waiting in front of the mansion early. When they saw their parents, Shi Jianli let go of Ming Zhaohuan's hand and ran towards them.

"Mom, Dad, do you miss me?"

"I thought about it. On the day of your wedding, you asked me to prepare your favorite dishes. Now the kitchen is already doing it." Qiao Ruowei pinched her daughter's rosy cheeks.

It seems like he is living a good life.

Mingzhao even stepped forward and saluted, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."

Shi Jianan nodded and said, "Let's talk inside."

Shi Jianli first asked what her parents had been doing at home in the past two days, and then she whispered to Qiao Ruowei about her days at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

Qiao Ruowei summed it up as follows: her son-in-law was obedient to her, the elders were also kind to her, and she was equally happy in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

After acting coquettishly with her mother for a while, Shi Jianli took Mingzhao to her own boudoir.

She pulled Ming Zhaohuan's sleeve, pointed at the swing in the yard and said, "Get me one like this in Langgan Courtyard. It's comfortable to lie on."

"Okay, ma'am, please take me around your house." Mingzhao responded with a smile.

When she acts coquettishly or makes a request to someone, she habitually pulls their sleeve.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jianli took him inside for a tour. After he finished looking around, she sat in front of the dressing mirror and took off the jewelry on her hair.

Mingzhao was still standing behind her, "Why are you taking off your hair accessories all of a sudden?"

"I got up early and I'm sleepy. I want to take a nap."

Mingzhao couldn't help laughing and helped her.

Shi Jianli leaned into his arms and said, "Carry me to the bed."

Mingzhao helped her take off her coat and put it on the bed.

She rolled up the quilt and lay on the pillow to look at him, "Are you going to sleep or not, husband?"

He shook his head, sat down on the bed, leaned over and kissed her forehead, "No, you go to sleep, I'll go play chess with Dad."

Shi Jianli wrapped in the quilt moved towards him, "Didn't you just call him father-in-law? How did it become dad?"

"I'll call you whatever Yaoyao calls me." Mingzhao even pulled the quilt down. "It's so high, you'll feel hot in a while."

"Then go ahead."

Mingzhao still stroked her hair gently, "I'll come over after you fall asleep."

"Then I'll sleep alone."

"Okay." So cute, she even reports to him before going to bed.

After Shi Jianli woke up, she asked Lanxing to do her makeup and then went out of the yard to find Mingzhao.

Mingzhao was still playing chess with Shi Jienan in the front yard, so Shi Jianli came over to him and looked at the chessboard with her face in her hands.

"You're awake." Mingzhao still looked at her, "Do you want to take over?"

"No, I'll just watch. I just woke up and don't want to use my brain."

"Okay." Mingzhao raised his hand and touched her head while his father-in-law was watching from the opposite side.

Shi Jianli was leaning on a soft chair, watching them interact with each other. After a while, she tilted her head to look at Xianyue who was waiting outside, and waved at her, "I want to drink five-fruit soup."

"Okay, can you get some cakes for me too?"

Shi Jianli nodded.

After finishing the game, Shi Jienan stood up and stretched his waist. "Don't eat too many cakes. Dinner will be served soon."

"I know." She responded, "Dad, how many games did you win?"

"Half and half." Shi Jianan put his hands behind his back and said, "I'm going to see what your mother is doing. You two stay here. I'll send someone over to call you for dinner later."

The brat's mind has been wandering since Li'er came over, and he's not playing chess seriously.

Shi Jianli waved at him.

Mingzhao smiled at her and said, "The sunset is beautiful, would you like to walk around the mansion with me?"

"Pull me up." Shi Jianli reached out to him.

Mingzhao held her hand and pulled her up. Shi Jianli glanced at her side and saw that the servants were all outside. She leaned against his chest, raised her head and kissed his chin, "I'm waiting for my five-fruit soup to come."

"Okay." Mingzhao put his arm around her waist and lifted her up to sit in his arms. "Would you like some tea?"

"No, I just want to drink the five-fruit soup."

Soon, Xianyue lowered her head and brought in some sweet snacks. After collecting the plates, she left.

Mingzhao also picked up the bowl, scooped some sugar water with a spoon, and handed it to her lips.

She took a few sips and tugged at his clothes. "Would you like to drink it? It's very sweet. Try it."

Mingzhao lowered his head and gently touched her wet lips with his lips: "It is indeed sweet."

Shi Jianli pursed her lips, her ears reddened as she took the spoon from his hand and scooped a spoonful for him, "Here, let you try this."

I don't know where he learned it, but he's pretty good at it.

Mingzhao also drank the sugar water she fed him, and waited for her to continue feeding him with a smile on his face.

After sitting for a while, Mingzhao took her for a walk around the mansion, listening to her voice with a smile as she recalled the good memories with her parents in this mansion after coming to the capital.

Hua Yan came over and bowed with a smile: "Miss, son-in-law, the lady wants you to come over for dinner."

"We'll go right away." Shi Jianli pulled Ming Zhaohuan and walked briskly towards the main courtyard.

The radiant spring sunshine falls behind them, the shadows of people are in pairs on the ground, and the good times are beautiful.

Like every time before, Shi Jianli ran towards her loving parents with a smile and acted coquettishly towards them affectionately.

Beside her, looking at her tenderly, was her husband.

At this moment, it seemed as if she had spring and love forever.
