Guan Zhiyue looked at Li Qiji without saying anything, but instead turned to look at him and found that Li Qiji was looking at her with a look of watching a show. Guan Zhiyue felt inexplicably guilty. What was that? This wasn't her. Why would she feel guilty?

I can't be guilty; it would make it seem like I'm afraid of him. I can't lose my dignity.

She then puffed out her small chest and looked at Li Qiji aggressively, saying, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before? Don't you know I'm beautiful?"

Li Qiji reached up and touched his lips, looking at Guan Zhiyue with a wicked smile. A dangerous smile slowly appeared on his lips, and he said slowly, "I heard that Yue'er slept with all of us back then!"

"Even the crown prince of Ningjian Kingdom, you slept with him!"

Guan Zhiyue swallowed hard. Good heavens! Was the original owner of this body really that exciting? Was she really that carefree? She even slept with those people.

However, when facing Li Qiji, Guan Zhiyue still stubbornly said, "Yes, I can't remember. I think I must have slept with him. Besides, adults make choices, children want them all."

Guan Zhiyue herself was unaware that her voice trembled slightly as she spoke. If you listened carefully, you could even hear a slight tremor in her voice, and her body involuntarily moved away from Li Qiji.

Looking at Guan Zhiyue's performance, Li Qiji then asked, "Has Yue'er ever liked anyone other than me?"

When Guan Zhiyue heard this question, she looked at Li Qiji and then asked in return, "Did you ever truly like me, or did you only fall for me because my father and brother held military power?"

Li Qiji shook his head. "I've liked you since I was little, and I still have. Ever since I knew you liked me, I've liked you silently. But because my identity would cause you trouble, I didn't dare to like you too much, afraid of bringing you unnecessary trouble. I know you like me, especially when your father came to ask for permission."

"I readily agreed to this marriage because I also like you, so I'm willing to marry you. However, I'm afraid that my identity will bring you all sorts of troubles, so I haven't brought it up proactively."

“When we got married, it was the happiest time of my life. On the surface, I looked down on you, but inside I was overjoyed. I was afraid of showing my true feelings, so I didn’t dare to show my joy. That’s why I treated you coldly in every way.”

"That's why I never kept you in Kunning Palace. Back then, I wasn't capable of protecting you. I was afraid there were still my seventh uncle's men in the palace, and I was afraid they would find out how much I liked you and send someone to kill you, so..."

As Li Qiji spoke, he pulled Guan Zhiyue into a tight embrace, resting his chin on her neck, recounting the hardships he had endured over the years and explaining why he had done what he did. His only hope now was that Guan Zhiyue would forgive him.

And having a bunch of their own children is also proof that they love each other.

"Yue'er, can you forgive me?" Li Qiji's seductive voice rang in Guan Zhiyue's ear, and his moist breath sprayed against her ear, making her body tremble involuntarily.

But the fact that Li Qiji was so happy proved that Guan Zhiyue's body was telling the truth; she just hadn't forgiven him verbally yet.

He was already quite content at that moment, as long as her body didn't resist him, he was slowly waiting for her to say the words of forgiveness.

Guan Zhiyue felt as if she had been teased by him again, and then said, "Hmph, you're talking nonsense. Who forgave you? You big liar, you've bullied me for so long and you think I'll forgive you like this? That's impossible."

"I'm asking you, now that you're making such a big show of it, showering me with all your affection every day, do you think you're capable of standing up to your Seventh Imperial Uncle? You've exposed me so early, are you trying to use me as a target?" Guan Zhiyue turned to look at Li Qiji, who was still clinging to her tightly.

Li Qiji laughed and said, "Silly girl, it's because I love you that I'm willing to fight for you. I'm only showing you affection now just so you know that I've liked you since I was a child, it's never changed, and I will only like you."

"Then why haven't you dealt with those women in your harem? Are you planning to wait until you're tired of me before going to favor other women?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiji quickly raised his right hand, extended three fingers, and swore to the heavens, "I, Li Qiji, swear to the heavens that for all eternity, I will only marry Guan Zhiyue and will never touch any other woman. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning and never have a good end in any eternity."

Hearing this, Guan Zhiyue felt a little satisfied, and a smile appeared on her lips. She then asked, "What happened next? What else did I do in Guiling Valley? Why don't I have any memories before I was four years old?"

When Li Qiji heard Guan Zhiyue ask this, he smiled and said, "Because you were young at that time, you can't remember many things. It's normal to forget. We haven't seen each other since then. I went to the military camp, and you lived in the Guan residence for many years."

"Oh, right, Guiling Valley also has a kind of medicine that makes people forget their memories. You were probably given this medicine by your master, otherwise you wouldn't have no memories at all."

"So, you, Qi Shang, Su Xu, Lan Shanqi, and that so-called Crown Prince, you all know what I looked like back then?" Guan Zhiyue said.

Li Qiji nodded and said, "That's right. You eat, drink, poop, pee, and sleep with us almost all the time. Even when you change your clothes, we're the ones who change them for you."

Guan Zhiyue: "..."

A flock of crows flew overhead; it's better to avoid this kind of memory, better not to, it's just too damn embarrassing!

No way! I was so young and these filthy thugs saw me naked?!

Guan Zhiyue instantly felt as if a hundred thousand alpacas were stampeding through her heart. Although she was young at the time, thinking about it now still made her feel so uncomfortable. She was truly ashamed and embarrassed.

"Yeah, Yue'er's little arms were all segmented back then, just like the lotus roots you planted. It was so cute! We little kids especially loved to nibble on them!"

Guan Zhiyue: "..." Original owner, you've walked into a wolf's den! It's a good thing you don't remember, otherwise you'd probably want to die a thousand times over, right?

"You're still eating my flesh? Are you even human? I'm so small, and you're so big, yet you still try to bully me?" Guan Zhiyue asked.

Li Qiji shrugged indifferently and said, "Because back then, Yue'er was all round and chubby, which was especially fun and clingy. We all liked to play with you back then, and everyone wanted to play with you."

Guan Zhiyue: What a memory! Luckily, my master chef had the foresight to know to give me medicine, otherwise I would have vomited to death!

Seeing that Guan Zhiyue remained silent, seemingly annoyed by something, Li Qiji leaned closer and gently blew a breath on her...
