Through the carved window lattice, under the magnolia tree in the courtyard, stood a mother and daughter as delicate as flowers.
Su Xuerong's fair, almost translucent face outshone the pink magnolia blossoms on the tree.
The baby in her arms was wearing a light red jacket, revealing a pink and tender little face, and a pair of bright black eyes blinking as it looked at its mother.
Xiao Shiyan looked at the baby in her arms and felt a wave of tenderness wash over him.
That's wonderful, this is the child he and Xue Rong conceived together.
But then he suddenly remembered what she had said to him before, and Xiao Shiyan couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems that he hasn't been home for the past few months and has neglected her, which is why she's been acting a little temperamental towards him.
Then go and try to appease her?
Su Xuerong smiled and pointed to the cherry blossom tree: "Yuan-jie, look, these are magnolia flowers..."
Yuan'er looked at her mother's gesturing hand and suddenly grinned, "Hehehe..."
Su Xuerong was overjoyed: "Oh, you can smile now?"
Suddenly, a pair of arms reached out from behind and took Yuan Jie'er from her arms.
"I haven't had a proper look at Yuan-jie since I came back!"
Xiao Shiyan stood behind Su Xuerong, his arms wrapped around her as he lifted Yuanjie'er up, while Su Xuerong was held close to his chest.
Su Xuerong felt Xiao Shiyan's warm and solid chest and suddenly trembled.
How long has it been since she's been this close to him?
It seems that after she went to the Eastern Palace in her previous life, she almost never shared a bed with him again. The last time was when he drank too much at a banquet and went to her side courtyard...
After that incident, she became pregnant with Chu'er, but instead faced endless torment from Xu Wanjing...
Suddenly, when his body pressed against hers, she felt as if she had been transported to another world, and a strong sense of resistance arose within her.
Xiao Shiyan felt the woman in his arms tremble slightly. He thought his wife hadn't been intimate with him for several months and was probably a little rusty. He smiled slightly.
Since that's the case, I'll spend some quality time with her tonight, and then she won't make any unreasonable demands for a divorce.
Su Xuerong's body stiffened completely. After a long while, she said softly, "Husband, I've made you some snow fungus and pear soup. I'll bring it to you right away..."
After saying that, she bent down and slipped under Xiao Shiyan's arm, running away as if she were escaping.
Xiao Shiyan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, while Yuan Jie'er in his arms stared blankly at him, then suddenly burst into tears.
