An unbearable fire suddenly appeared in Xuanyuan Ye's eyes.

He's worked so hard for so long, and now that he's come this far, why would he be willing to be a fake couple with her?

He rolled over and pinned her down, their eyes meeting.

The bronze skin tone contrasts sharply with the snow-white, delicate skin.

"...Of course it's true."

After saying this, Xuanyuan Ye lowered his head and began to gnaw...

…………

Three years have passed in the end, and the unspoken emotions that entangled them led to a great fire.

By the time Xuanyuan Ye stopped, it was already dawn outside.

Jiang Tian was fast asleep, her rosy lips slightly swollen.

A quick glance revealed that every spot had been touched by Xuan Yuan Ye… and her insteps were especially unsightly.

Xuanyuan Ye carefully carried her to wash her, then made the bed again and put her in the brocade quilt.

The monarch of a country seems quite adept at doing these things.

As he carefully closed the door, he saw Jiang Chen being led by a maid.

Jiang Chen gradually got to know him. When she saw him, she looked up and asked, "Where is my mother? She's going to study with me today."

This child is exceptionally beautiful, as if God has bestowed upon him special favor.

Xuanyuan Ye looked at his son; Jiang Tian had taught him very well.

When he learned that he was pregnant, Xuanyuan Ye was devastated, after all, his wife and children had perished in a fire.

He saw the little boy again in Anping County, where he secretly glanced at him.

This child possessed both Jiang Tian's delicate charm and his own strong features; Xuan Yuan Ye's heart softened almost every time he saw him.

This is his and Jiang Tian's child, and for this reason alone, Xuan Yuan Ye couldn't contain his excitement.

The first time I actually spoke to Jiang Chen was when he was pretending to be a son-in-law...

Xuanyuan Ye stepped forward and picked up Jiang Chen: "Your mother was too tired yesterday, let her sleep a little longer, I'll read with you, okay?"

Jiang Chen originally wanted to refuse, but Xuan Yuan Ye was too tall and picked him up in one go. Being held like that, little Jiang Chen found that he couldn't say the words of refusal.

So Jiang Tian slept until noon. When she woke up, she happened to run into the person who had just taken Jiang Chen back.

Xuanyuan Ye didn't hide anything and told Jiang Chen about how he had accompanied him to study.

Jiang Tian nodded, only smiling as she looked at him, her eyes still carrying a languid weariness after the spring colors had faded.

Xuanyuan Ye dared not look at her anymore; seeing her, he could never learn to be satisfied.

He carefully dressed Jiang Tian, ​​from her inner garment to her outer robe, and then to her shoes and socks. He did it very seriously and meticulously.

Jiang Tian even looked at him with curiosity, wondering if he had practiced it before.

Xuanyuan Ye had certainly practiced it; he learned the rules of being a live-in son-in-law before he left.

It's no different from a woman getting married; if the mistress is not satisfied, he can easily be kicked out.

So he had actually studied it before coming.

If I could stay by Jiang Tian's side and serve her for the rest of my life, what would it matter?

"Chen-ge'er still believes that you and I were deeply in love, but were separated by force, and that's why we went our separate ways. He's still young, so it'll be easy for him to accept. After some time, I'll tell him that you are his biological father. But I can't tell him about my identity. If Chen-ge'er wants to inherit your throne, he can; if he doesn't want to..."

Xuanyuan Ye grew increasingly nervous as he listened.

He will never have any further involvement with other women in his life.

If Jiang Chen is unwilling, and Jiang Tian also disagrees with him inheriting the throne, Xuan Yuan Ye can only choose one from among the children of the clan.

“If he is unwilling, it means you have not taught him well. Anyway, as his mother, I am happy that my son can gain the throne. But if he is unwilling, isn’t that precisely because you have not taught him well? As his father, the responsibility for making him not even want the supreme position in the world lies with you.”

Xuanyuan Ye understood Jiang Tian's meaning: she wanted her son to become emperor.

At that moment, he made up his mind to teach Jiang Chen well.

Anyway, he conquered the country himself, and those ministers would only cause him trouble. His country is for his children, and no one can oppose it.

"Don't worry, I will teach him well."

"Besides that, you also need to think carefully about whether those ministers will accept Chen Ge'er, after all, his mother is an unknown person."

"They won't refuse."

A cold glint flashed in Xuanyuan Ye's eyes. He had long since achieved complete unification, and everyone could only serve him as their master. He would decide who his next successor would be.

Unless someone is suicidal, no one would dare to object.

And so, Xuanyuan Ye, the son-in-law, settled down in the Jiang residence.

In other people's eyes, he was marrying above his station with Lady Jiang, so few people treated him well.

Xuanyuan Ye didn't care; he only cared about what Jiang Tian ate, drank, and slept well.

Knowing full well that Jiang Tian had no romantic feelings for him, Xuan Yuan Ye went to great lengths to please her in certain situations.

He wanted to make his position more important, so he had to study diligently.

Not long after, Jiang Chen learned that Xuan Yuan Ye was his biological father.

Jiang Tian told the outside world that she had been abandoned by a noble family, but told her son that her father was also powerless and that she would definitely escape to see them if she had the chance.

Seeing Xuan Yuan Ye, who had come to see them in disguise, Jiang Chen became even more convinced that his father was a good person, and happily reunited with his biological father.

The main reason is that his biological father treated him really well.

As a child, Xuan Yuan Ye fulfilled all the things he longed for. With both his parents alive, Jiang Chen naturally grew up strong and healthy.

Xuanyuan Ye met An Yi three months later.

An Yi's lifespan is nearing its end. Jiang Tian somehow found a miracle doctor who took his pulse and said there was still hope.

Jiang Tian offered him a large sum of money, promising that he could spend several months each year with the divine doctor for treatment, and that after several years, he would eventually be cured.

An had received a letter before arriving, informing him of Xuan Yuan Ye's situation.

After they met, An Yi first bowed deeply to him.

As a secret guard, he should have prioritized the emperor's interests, but he ran off with Jiang Tian. In fact, his crimes were enough to warrant execution.

Xuanyuan Ye did not pursue the matter, but gave him a deep look: "You have protected her all these years, and I am grateful to you. From now on, you should focus on getting better. Since you left with her back then, you must protect her well in the future."

An Yi bowed and said, "Yes."

Xuan Yuan Ye didn't mention that An Yi admired Jiang Tian. Several years have passed, and Jiang Tian has not chosen An Yi. His feelings have already been answered.

An Yi was a smart man; he knew long ago what position he should occupy by Jiang Tian's side to ensure a long and lasting relationship.

Xuanyuan Ye didn't want to say too much. He hadn't even settled into his position yet, so he had no time to care about others.

Jiang Tian is the most important person in his heart.

Several years later, Jiang Chen learned that his father was the emperor.

By this time, he was seven years old and a well-known child prodigy. Many people said he was a deity descended to earth, and that he was different from ordinary people in both appearance and mind.

As Jiang Chen grew smarter, the sense of unease he felt towards his biological father deepened.
