Mu Ange said verbally, "My body is weak, I can't do any heavy work." Mu Ange thought to himself, "Yes, I was the one who killed him, and I even hung him up and beat him."
...
He felt terrible. He was suddenly being so nice to her because of his fourth brother's orders. If it weren't for his fourth brother, he definitely wouldn't have suddenly gone crazy and come looking for her. But now, hearing her words, he felt like ants were gnawing at his heart.
"If you want to go shopping again in the future, I can accompany you."
Lanxi raised an eyebrow: "Oh? With so many beautiful women outside, Your Highness? Can you possibly keep an eye on me?"
His face flushed slightly: "I didn't have any romantic relationships with any women. I just drank outside, and when I was drunk, I would just sleep with them. At first, I was unhappy with the marriage my father had chosen. You have a fiery temper, and you're not my type, so..."
Lanxi said, "Oh, alright, alright, I'm not jealous. You can continue to do whatever you want without worrying about me. But now that Sister Dan is here, I don't want her to feel like I married someone who doesn't love her. Otherwise, she'll be heartbroken when she goes back. So I'll trouble Your Highness to put on a show for the next couple of days. I thank you in advance. If you need me to put on a show in the future, I will do my best."
Mu Anxiang agreed, but his heart felt like it was blocked by a wall, making it hard to breathe.
After the conversation ended, Lanxi fell fast asleep. Mu Anxiang glanced at her and saw her peaceful and serene sleeping face, completely different from her wild and unruly demeanor during the day.
I knew she was beautiful before, but I had never looked at her closely. Now that I see her again, I feel a flutter in my heart.
He had to turn his head away and turn his back to Lanxi to sleep, but he tossed and turned all night and just couldn't fall asleep.
He managed to get two hours of sleep before dawn.
"Get up, get up."
Mu Anxiang was sleeping soundly when he felt someone shaking his body. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see Lan Xi.
She opened her bright eyes, looking somewhat anxious: "Get up quickly, Sister Dan will be here soon, she wants to check if I've eaten breakfast."
Normally, no one supervises them at home. Both of them are lazy sleepers and only eat two meals a day. They never know what breakfast is. But now it's different. When elders come to visit, they have to check if they have eaten breakfast.
Mu Anxiang groggily got up, and even after sitting down at the dining table, he couldn't remember how he got there.
He was alright; he regained most of his senses after the first sip of porridge.
But when I turned my gaze, I saw Lanxi lazily holding chopsticks, swaying unsteadily, her eyelids drooping, the porridge in her bowl acting as if it had been drugged, she would drowsy after each sip, and it looked like she was about to fall asleep while eating.
As Mu Anxiang watched, he saw her scoop up a spoonful of porridge and try to put it into her nose.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! Hey! Hey!"
Lanxi shuddered, her face contorted in shock.
Mu Anxiang burst out laughing.
Lanxi looked at him blankly: "What's wrong? Have you finished eating? I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep."
Lord Zhao knew what was going on just by looking at her like that.
"Why are you sleeping? Go for a morning workout after dinner. You can't keep sleeping until the sun is high in the sky. Look at the prince, he's so healthy, he must exercise regularly."
Lanxi rolled her eyes at Mu Anxiang: "Tch, he's not."
Normally, he would have rolled his eyes back twenty times at Lanxi for that eye roll, but now he found Lanxi incredibly cute.
"From now on, I will accompany Lanxi during her morning exercise."
Lord Zhao was very satisfied: "That's good. With the prince supervising, she will surely develop a good physique and give birth to a big, healthy daughter."
