Chen Siwei helped Sui Zhao onto the carriage. When he saw her smiling and reaching out her hand to him, he took her hand and used it to get on as well.

Sui Zhao saw that he had sat down, so he moved closer to him and said, "Chen Luyuan, I'm cold~"

Shen Siwei glanced at her rosy little face, took off his cloak and put it on her.

She snorted and moved away from him.

Shen Siwei was helpless. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, kissed her forehead, and held her hand.

It's warm.

Little liar.

She was finally satisfied, and pulled her hand out of his palm, cupped his cheek and turned his face to face her, "Chen Luyuan, look at me."

Shen Siwei looked in the direction of her force and his eyes fell on her face.

"Don't I look good? Why don't you look at me?"

"It looks good." He lowered his voice and looked at her with dark eyes.

His Highness Kang Le, who had always been "lawless", was not afraid at all and rubbed his face, "You didn't answer my second question."

Shen Siwei looked solemnly, lifted her chin with his fingers, pressed her waist with his other hand to push her closer to him, and kissed her soft and rosy lips.

There was a slight numbness on her lips, and a strange feeling flowed to the tip of her heart, making her quiet for a moment, looking into his eyes in a daze.

A faint smile appeared on Chen Siwei's lips. He lifted her chin and kissed her again, applying a little force to press her lips all over.

After a moment, he rubbed her lips with his fingertips and whispered, "I'm afraid I can't help it."

"But why do you always tease me?"

His fingertips gently circulated on her cheek, bringing a slightly itchy and numbing sensation.

He moved closer, raised his eyes and stared into hers. Their breaths intertwined within such a short distance, his gaze was burning.

Danger was approaching, Sui Zhao blinked subconsciously, her long eyelashes brushed his eyebrows, and her hand grasped his wrist.

Without thinking, she kissed him directly, her eyebrows curved into a smile, "Why would I tease you if I don't like you? You kissed me first."

Shen Siwei held her tightly in his arms, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his dark eyes.

He kissed her lips heavily, his breathing slowed down, and he held her head against his neck, his heart beating violently. He gave in and said, "An An, don't mess with me."

"Okay." Such a big reaction.

Being held in his arms, feeling his heartbeat, Sui Zhao leaned obediently in his arms.

But after a short while of silence, she couldn't stay idle again and rubbed his neck, "Chen Luyuan."

"Um."

"Chen Luyuan~"

"Um."

"Play chess with me."

"Okay." Chen Siwei put her aside and took out the chessboard.

Sui Zhao wanted to take off his cloak, but he held his hand and said, "Put it on. I'm not cold."

"oh."

When they came across an inn in a town along the way, they would get off the carriage to rest for a day or two, play chess on the carriage, and read books when they got bored. Sometimes she would flirt with Chen Siwei, sometimes she would "drive" her father off their carriage to sit with Chen Siwei, and sometimes she would stick to her mother. After more than 20 days, they finally arrived in the capital.

It was the second day of December.

When they were about to enter the palace gate, Sui Zhao was held in the arms of Chen Siwei. He said, "I will get off the carriage when we reach the palace gate and go to the emperor to ask for the position."

Sui Zhao pulled a jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into his hand. "With this, you can enter the palace at will. It depends on how much you miss me. If you don't come within three days, don't blame me for being angry."

Shen Siwei kissed her lips and said, "Well, I won't make you angry."
