Chapter 175 Choosing a Horse
The Li family's affairs have become common knowledge.
When Zhao Yu returned in the evening, Xiao Tao was vividly recounting the events of the day to Xu Chumian.
“If the Li family doesn’t budge, Yan Yan’s mother and Yan Yan’s uncle are practically turning the Li family upside down.”
Everyone outside is gossiping about the Li family.
Yan Yan was completely unaware of what was happening and was playing hide-and-seek with Zhao Xiao in the courtyard.
When the two little kids saw Zhao Yu return, they both stopped what they were doing.
Zhao Yu glanced at his son, "When did you start liking to play hide-and-seek?"
Zhao Xiao blinked. "Father, it was because there was no one to play with before."
Zhao Yu scoffed coldly.
Before the Li family moved in, Zhao Xiao would play wildly all over the mansion after finishing his studies every day. Even when young girls from the Zhao family came to the mansion, Zhao Xiao would not even glance at them.
Zhao Xiao thoroughly embodied the meaning of being famous for his double standards.
Seeing Zhao Yu staring at him without saying a word, Xiao Ge'er straightened up and went to his study.
Yan Yan was still confused. "Brother Zhao Xiao, where are you going?"
Zhao Xiao replied expressionlessly, "Go back and copy the book."
With just a glance from his father, Zhao Xiao knew what he had to do.
Zhao Yu went straight into the main house.
Xu Chumian asked him, "What were you and Xiaoge talking about just now?"
Zhao Yu simply picked up his wife and carried her away, while Xiao Tao and the other maids left with great interest.
Zhao Yu took a deep sniff of Xu Chumian's neck.
What did you do today?
Xu Chumian then told Zhao Yu about the Li family's affairs.
After speaking, Zhao Yu stared intently at her.
What do you want to say?
Xu Chumian raised her chin slightly, "If one day your heart wanders, I will leave the Zhao family just like Yan Yan's mother."
Zhao Xiao will remain in the Duke's mansion and enjoy everything he was originally entitled to.
Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and he put his hand on Xu Chumian's waist. "Is this what you're thinking?"
Xu Chumian hummed in agreement, then poked Zhao Yu's shoulder, "Did you remember it clearly?"
Xu Chumian had barely finished speaking when Zhao Yu silenced her with a kiss.
Still want to leave the Zhao family?
Zhao Yu coldly curled the corners of his lips, "Dream on."
With his arm in her hand, Xu Chumian glared at Zhao Yu, her eyes widening slightly. She quickly noticed something amiss below her thigh.
Xu Chumian's eyes widened. She found an opportunity to push Zhao Yu away and said, "It's not dark yet. Be careful that our son doesn't see us."
Zhao Xiao is still copying books in his study.
Zhao Yu's eyes were deep. "Then let's wait until after dinner."
Zhao Yu is still driven by desires, and he hasn't changed much in recent years.
Xu Chumian could only let Zhao Yu have his fill every few times.
After dinner, Yan Yan was still sullen. Zhao Xiao glanced at his parents and, seeing that they had no other thoughts, he comforted Yan Yan.
"Yan Yan, your mother will definitely come to pick you up soon."
Yan Yan pouted, "I haven't seen my mother for three days."
Xu Chumian frowned. Seeing Yan Yan's appearance, she felt bad too, so she said, "Auntie will send someone to ask tomorrow."
Yan Yan happily agreed.
After the two little radishes left, Xu Chumian went to the bathroom to take a shower.
As soon as she entered, Zhao Yu embraced her from behind.
From the water to the inner room, Zhao Yu didn't stop thinking.
Xu Chumian was breathing rapidly. She pushed the person away but then leaned closer again. "Alright, alright, I believe you, okay?"
Zhao Yu bit the soft flesh of her neck.
"It's not genuine."
Xu Chumian remained silent, tightening her grip between her legs, and in an instant, the man froze.
A triumphant smile appeared on Xu Chumian's face.
Zhao Yu's stiffness lasted only a moment, and he was soon swept into the next wave along with the miserable Xu Chumian.
The moon rose above the branches and then faded away.
The noise inside the house never really stopped.
Finally, Zhao Yu carried Xu Chumian to the bathroom to wash and bathe her.
Xu Chumian was completely exhausted and let Zhao Yu do whatever he wanted. As soon as she got into bed, she snuggled up to the blanket and fell asleep.
The feeling of being on the verge of losing control made Xu Chumian panic.
The next day, Zhao Yu took a day off and stayed at the Duke's mansion.
When Xu Chumian opened her eyes, Zhao Yu was leaning against the headboard beside her, reading a book.
Xu Chumian shifted, turned to face him, and muttered, "Aren't you on duty today?"
Zhao Yu pinched Xu Chumian's nose.
"You don't even remember the days I take a break now."
Xu Chumian was forced to open her eyes and remove his hand.
"I've been too busy lately."
Zhao Yu laughed angrily, "Yes, there are plenty of things in the manor waiting for the Crown Princess to handle. How could a busy person like her remember me?"
Xu Chumian put her arm around his waist again and coaxed the jealous man.
"We used to be like this too."
In the past, Xu Chumian was busy with matters within the mansion, while Zhao Yu was busy with affairs outside.
Zhao Yu stared at her, then pulled her tightly back into his arms.
"Now that you have Zhao Xiao on your side, you have less and less energy for me each day."
Xu Chumian protested her innocence, her eyes crinkling with a smile as she kissed Zhao Yu's forehead. "What are you thinking? That's our son, our child. You're always getting jealous."
Whether it's just unfounded jealousy remains to be seen.
Zhao Yu stared at her rosy cheeks, a slight stirring in his heart.
Xu Chumian quickly covered his lips with her hand.
Goodbye.
"Wait until Xiao Ge'er comes in."
Zhao Yu sighed heavily against her neck.
Xu Chumian stroked his profile. "Have you been tired lately?"
Zhao Yu slightly lifted his eyelids. "What makes you say that?"
Xu Chumian shook her head, "I was just asking."
Otherwise, how could there be a father who is jealous of his son?
Xu Chumian changed the subject, "What time is it now? Where are Yan Yan and Xiao Ge'er?"
Zhao Yu put his arm around her, tapping Xu Chumian's waist intermittently.
"I've finished lunch and gone somewhere else."
Xu Chumian gave a soft "oh".
She hugged Zhao Yu tightly around the waist, saying, "Compared to anything else, I still prefer my family."
Zhao Yu bit the corner of her lip.
"You've eaten honey, your mouth is so sweet."
Xu Chumian pushed him away, "No, I have to get up."
How embarrassing would it be if Xiao Ge'er or Yan Yan saw this?
Zhao Yu had previously instructed Zhao Xiao not to contact outsiders casually.
Xu Chumian couldn't help but glare at Zhao Yu slightly.
She pushed Zhao Yu away, "Brother Xiao even asked me to choose horses with him today."
Recently, the production crew made a realistic replica of the horse, and even the young master only noticed it several days later, after which he agreed to it.
Zhao Yu hummed in response, tightening his grip on Xu Chumian's arm but preventing her from making any further movements.
Xu Chumian was both amused and exasperated. "You're the father, why are you comparing yourself to your son?"
