Since she had come back for the first time, Shen Ning naturally decided to stay at the Shen family home for one night to keep Liu Ying and the others company.
A short while later, Du Yunzhi and Ye Feiyan arrived. Du Yunzhi was heavily pregnant and looked like she was about to give birth.
Princess Chang Le brought her son over, followed by Li Shaobai.
They were very open about their relationship, and their friends wouldn't say anything about it.
When good friends gather together, it's natural to treat them well, with wine, meat, hot pot, singing, dancing, and music—it's quite a lively occasion.
Princess Qi was worried about the child, so she came early to take her grandson away, which made them have even more fun.
Since Du Yunzhi was pregnant, Shen Ning didn't dare let them cause too much trouble, so she had Ye Feiyan take her back around the appointed time.
Shen Ning was genuinely happy, but also genuinely exhausted. She had drunk quite a bit and was a little tipsy. She struggled to wash up with her heavy eyelids, and once she finally got to bed, she collapsed onto the floor, wanting nothing more than to get a good night's sleep.
However, she didn't fall onto the blanket; instead, she bumped directly into someone's arms.
The familiar scent made her feel incredibly at ease, and she snuggled against him, saying, "Husband, why are you here?"
Qin Zhuo picked up the drunkard and laid her down, looking at her satisfied expression, he was furious.
"You're having so much fun with them, you don't seem to think about me at all, Shen Ning. Do you even care about me at all?"
Shen Ning half-opened her eyes to look at him. Was he starting to act up again?
Two years into their marriage, Shen Ning knew Qin Zhuo's bad habits all too well: he was jealous, prone to tantrums, and loved to act up, but he was also very easy to appease.
"It's just a casual get-together. Aren't you tied up in the palace?"
Qin Zhuo: "It's not about whether I can leave or not, it's that everyone else brought their husbands, but you didn't even think of me."
Helpless, Shen Ning closed her eyes and touched his face, coaxing him perfunctorily, "Don't you dislike them?"
Qin Zhuo: "Even if I don't like them, you still care about them, so it's not like I can't change."
Shen Ning laughed, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and pecked his chin twice: "No, you don't need to get along with them. Just be fierce and arrogant like this, that's what I like the most."
Qin Zhuo knew that Shen Ning liked him, but this was the first time he had heard her say it like this: "You like my bad side?"
Shen Ning was truly drunk. In his drunken state, he spoke the truth, answering every question obediently.
"Yeah, it's only interesting when you're bad. It would be strange if you became tolerant of everyone."
“You are different from them. You are my husband, the most important person to me, and I am your only favorite. No one can replace each other.”
A warm feeling stirred within Qin Zhuo, not scorching, but it quickly spread to every part of his body, as if immersing his very soul in it.
He adjusted her into the most comfortable position and pulled her into his arms, kissing her forehead with unwavering affection in his eyes: "Sleep now, I won't bother you anymore."
His relationship with Shen Ning was always a little lacking in intensity, yet it was just right. He loved every aspect of her: her intelligence, calmness, wisdom, and decisiveness. Of course, he loved her tenderness and softness even more, allowing him to have whatever he wanted.
She tolerated all his bad habits and petty tricks, and her eyes always shone with light when she looked at him.
She liked him, and she never hid it. Her affection was like a gentle, flowing spring, embracing his passionate love.
They are so well-matched, a match made in heaven.
