Then he added, "Sorry, I haven't remembered yet."

He always felt that it was unfair to Qin Su to bear so much alone because of his amnesia, so he was eager to know about the past that he didn't remember, but he also hoped that Qin Su, not someone else, would tell him.

Qin Su calculated the time and said, "About half a year."

Hearing this, Yu Shuo became even more certain that the child was not his. He felt a little regretful but quickly came to terms with it.

"Did I personally go to propose marriage?"

Qin Su smiled, "Of course! There was some friction in Shacheng before you proposed marriage. His Majesty... my brother sent you here. You said you would tell me something after you returned safely."

"Back then, I originally wanted to marry an honest man. My mother also advised me to do the same, to prevent my brother from controlling my marriage. It just so happened that you came back and proposed marriage. At that time, you still had His Majesty's decree of marriage in your hands."

She coughed lightly a few times, mimicking Yu Shuo's tone from back then, "You said, 'If you are willing, the imperial decree of marriage will take effect immediately; if you are not willing, there will be no such decree.'"

Yu Shuo understood what she meant.

So she was actually willing to marry him?

The thought of this filled him with a sense of wonder, and his eyes shone like stars.

"So you didn't marry me because of circumstances?" Even though he had already guessed, he still wanted to ask and get her confirmation.

Her affirmation was far more meaningful than my own guess.

Qin Su snorted, "Of course, who can force this princess?!"

Yu Shuo felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and impulsively grasped Qin Su's hand, but the next second he didn't know what to do.

Perhaps sensing his suspicion, Qin Su patted the back of his hand to reassure him, "Don't worry, I married you willingly."

Whether it was the high temperature of the charcoal fire or her own shyness, a blush rose on Qin Su's face. She said, "When I married you, Yu Ziyu, I loved you."

Yu Shuo's burning gaze was fixed on Qin Su, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, his heart throbbing almost painfully. He could no longer resist and leaned over to hug Qin Su in his arms.

She said, "Yu Ziyu, I love you."

How long did Yu Shuo wait? He waited for far too long, so long that he thought he would never hear Qin Su say such words in his life.

"Soo..." His suppressed voice escaped from his lips, which trembled uncontrollably.

"Yes, I'm here." She let Yu Shuo hold her, her eyes filled with tenderness.

He held her tighter and tighter, as if trying to embed her into his body so that they could never be separated again.

"Say it again. Please say it again, okay?" His voice was muffled, still showing great restraint.

A mocking glint appeared in Qin Su's eyes as she deliberately asked, "What did you say?"

Yu Shuo understood her teasing tone, his sexy lips pressed against her neck skin, the inevitable friction as he spoke, "Say you love me, say Qin Su loves Yu Shuo."

The overflowing emotions are like a ferocious beast that can devour the heavens and the earth, difficult to contain and difficult to restrain.

Qin Su placed her hand in his, firm yet gentle, "Yes, I love Your Highness, I love Ziyu."

She was always a little shy the first time she spoke, but seeing his expression, Qin Su spoke more and more fluently.

She thought he was always so insecure, so she might as well talk to him more.

It's just speaking my mind, what's there to be embarrassed about?

If you like someone, you should say it.

"I like Tzuyu." The words were spoken so plainly, not with affection or admiration, but simply with liking, pure to the extreme.

"Mmm." His voice slurred, and he opened his mouth again, saying, "Me too, me too, I like it very much." He liked it so much that his body ached, but he was mindful of her feelings and didn't want to force her.

One had been hurt, the other had never received a response. At this moment, their hearts drew infinitely closer.

Just as things were getting cozy, a knock came at the door, seemingly breaking the atmosphere inside the room.

Yu Shuo looked outside unhappily.

"My lord, news has come from Sand City."

"Can't Chongyang be dealt with?" Yu Shuo's voice was icy cold; even a naive person could hear the deep displeasure in his voice.

"But... the local gentry of Shacheng are dissatisfied and want to seize power."

"If you can't handle Chongyang, then come back here."

The people outside immediately fell silent.

What else needs to be said?

The aristocratic families had already been suppressed a century ago; how could they possibly be allowed to rise from the ashes?

Moreover, Shacheng was originally a border area, so it could only be controlled by the royal family.

Yu Shuo nuzzled Qin Su's neck, his soft lips constantly brushing against her skin, causing Qin Su to tremble.

"Alright, this is someone else's lobby, be more restrained." Qin Su covered his mouth, but when she looked at him, his eyes were even more alluring than his mouth.

This is terrible!

Yu Shuo's good looks are simply irresistible!

Back in the capital, the reason why Qin Su liked Xue Huai'an more than Yu Shuo was entirely because of Yu Shuo's unapproachable aura. Now that he has toned down his aura in front of her, how can Qin Su resist him?

Seeing that she was becoming increasingly engrossed in it, Yu Shuo couldn't help but laugh.

Just like when she was a child, she would always stare into his eyes in a daze.

"Shall we go back inside?" Yu Shuo said softly.

Qin Su surprisingly agreed, dumbfounded.

Yu Shuo picked her up, put her back down first, and then came back to bring the charcoal fire inside.

Everyone needs this in this weather.

The bed at Aunt Chen's house was a bit hard, but it was acceptable for Yu Shuo and Qin Su, neither of them being delicate people.

He put his arm around Qin Su's waist and whispered very softly in her ear, "Have we...have we slept together?"

He was even more embarrassed than Qin Su.

Yu Shuo guessed that they must have had a relationship, and since they were mutually attracted, it was a natural progression, and they were a normal married couple.

"you guess."

Yu Shuo embraced her, his hand tugging at the sash around her waist. "I have."

His tone was firm, but he couldn't suppress his embarrassment.

He was very familiar with her body; even if he didn't remember, he still subconsciously felt a sense of familiarity.

I know where her sensitive spots are, and I know how to make her happy.

"Don't do it here." Qin Su pulled him up, her eyes glistening with tears, looking very delicate.

Yu Shuo responded, also unwilling to sit there, mainly because it was too poorly soundproof.

But he really, really wanted to get close to her.

"Can I have a kiss?" He leaned in and placed her legs on his waist, rubbing them against her through the fabric.

"Um."

They both liked each other, and having been apart for so long, it was inevitable that they couldn't help but feel their emotions.

At first, he kissed her very restrainedly, but later he became fierce and forceful, not letting her back an inch, yet forcing her to lean back.

"Okay...okay." She turned her head away, letting his passionate kiss land on her cheek.

"Kiss me..."

Qin Su couldn't stand his coquettishness and had no choice but to give in to him.
