Chen Jingxi shook his head. "Although I come from the future, our historical records don't contain countries like Daxia, Xiqi, and Beizhao. I suspect that my era and this era are parallel time and space."
Chu Jinghuai nodded thoughtfully, as if he was full of curiosity about Chen Jingxi's past, but also with a bit of barely perceptible jealousy.
He continued to ask, "Did you get married and have children in your time?"
Chen Jingxi was stunned for a second. This damn man was always concerned about whether she had any relationship with other men.
A playful smile appeared on her lips, and she teased him deliberately, "Yes! In our time, I was already 28 years old, not only married, but also had a son and a daughter. Moreover, where we are, everyone is equal, there is freedom of speech, men and women are equal, there is no such thing as concubines, and if a man has an affair, he will go to jail..."
As Chu Jinghuai listened to her description, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he imagined in his mind a picture that was completely different from the world he was familiar with.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever thought about going back? Back to your time, back to your family?"
Chen Jingxi's smile gradually faded, and a trace of nostalgia and helplessness flashed in her eyes. "Yes! When I first arrived here, I thought about going back every day. Although I have a noble status here and no worries about money, it's nowhere near as comfortable as our time. There was electricity, trains, planes, games, lots of delicious food, and most importantly, my phone. I can't bear to part with it."
By the end of her speech, there was a hint of sadness in her voice.
A complex emotion appeared on Chu Jinghuai's face, but he restrained himself and made himself look very calm. Although he didn't understand what she said, her husband and children were mentioned in it after all.
He held Chen Jingxi's hand tightly and said, "No matter who you are, you are my wife now, so you have to stay by my side."
Chen Jingxi felt the strength of Chu Jinghuai's palm and knew that this man was serious. Just as he was about to speak, he heard some movement outside and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"
Grandma Gao received the order and came in and said, "Princess, the Queen has sent some chrysanthemums."
When Chen Jingxi heard this, he stood up and walked out.
——
In the evening.
On the bed, Chu Jinghuai had already stripped the person under him naked, but he was still hunched over, hesitating to take the next step.
Look at her and feel every subtle change in her.
Chen Jingxi was so itchy because of him that she couldn't resist his self-control and could only wrap herself around him like a vine.
Chu Jing raised his arm around her neck to support her, lowered his head to capture her lips, and asked her in a vague voice, "Do you love me?"
"like--"
"Who do you love more than that person?"
"I love you, only you." Chen Jingxi was confused by him.
"Will you leave me then?"
"Won't."
Chu Jinghuai was extremely gentle that night.
