Xiao Yuan was dressed in a dark blue peacock robe, with a white light silk undergarment underneath. The candlelight flickered, casting pale golden light on him, giving him an ethereal and indistinct appearance.
At that moment, a figure immediately appeared in Su Xuerong's mind.
The figure was so indistinct before it finally disappeared...
"you……"
Su Xuerong tried to materialize the figure in her mind, but it slowly transformed into the familiar man in front of her.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Su Xuerong only came to her senses when she felt a sway in her shoulder.
Xiao Yuan looked somewhat nervous: "What's wrong with you?"
Su Xuerong looked up at him.
Xiao Yuan was eight feet tall, and when she stood up straight, her head barely reached his chin.
At this moment, she was very close to him, and she looked up, trying to meet his eyes.
The flames flickered in those dark eyes so close to hers, reflecting her fair and jade-like face.
"It's just... I suddenly remembered something..." Su Xuerong murmured, then suddenly thought of something, "Have you ever been to Suzhou before?"
Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at the woman before him.
Three years ago, she was still a naive young woman in his eyes. Now, she is married and has children. Her naivety has gradually faded, replaced by the unique charm of a young married woman.
Now, she is so beautiful that it's impossible to look away.
Xiao Yuan gently hugged her and rubbed his chin against her forehead: "You didn't know?"
Su Xuerong tried to push him away, but couldn't. Her voice was muffled as she said, "I'm not talking about this year. Did you... go to Suzhou three years ago?"
Xiao Yuan stiffened, then slowly released Su Xuerong, his expression utterly calm: "Why do you ask that?"
Su Xuerong looked up at him, and after a while, she pushed him to sit down on the couch next to her: "Sit down and talk, it hurts my neck to stand up and look at you."
The man chuckled softly, then pulled her onto his lap and gently massaged the back of her neck: "Does it hurt here?"
Su Xuerong felt a tingling sensation on the back of her neck and couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
Only after she uttered that sound did she belatedly shut her mouth.
The sound it uttered was so suggestive.
She quickly slapped Xiao Yuan's hand off her neck: "Let's get down to business!"
Xiao Yuan suppressed a laugh and said, "Alright, let's get down to business."
His hands were pushed away by Su Xuerong, so he casually wrapped his arms around her slender waist, his fingers lightly tapping her lower back.
Su Xuerong glared at him, and was about to speak when she saw the man say in a serious tone, "Let's get down to business!"
Su Xuerong wanted to reach out and pry his fingers off, but suddenly felt her body fall downwards, and she was so frightened that she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Xiao Yuan grinned mischievously and hugged her again, his hot breath brushing against her ear: "Arong, are you going to get down to business or not?"
Su Xuerong was amused and annoyed. Staring at his sly eyes, she reached out and pinched his cheek hard: "You did that on purpose?"
Xiao Yuan showed no displeasure whatsoever. Seeing her gradually getting angry and bristling, he couldn't help but laugh: "Don't want to talk anymore?"
Su Xuerong glared at him angrily, grabbed his neck tightly with both hands, and said fiercely, "Tell me! Did you go to Suzhou three years ago?"
Xiao Yuan immediately cooperated, feigning a panicked expression: "Wife, what do you want me to say? I, I, I've always been law-abiding and haven't done anything wrong! Are you interrogating me like this because you have evil intentions towards me?"
Su Xuerong: "..."
Well, there's just no way to deal with a scoundrel.
She said irritably, "You're just......"
shameless!
Before she could finish speaking, she withdrew her hand, only to be grabbed by Xiao Yuan and pulled towards him: "Wife, why don't you ask? Ask me properly, and I'll answer you properly!"
With a serious expression, he brushed Su Xuerong's hands towards his face, pressed her palms against his cheeks, and stared at her with incredibly deep eyes: "Could it be that my wife has taken a fancy to me? Wants to repay me with her body?"
Su Xuerong: "..."
She rolled her eyes at him, then suddenly remembered something and sneered, "But back in Zhenjiang, who was it that said they looked down on me?"
He even mocked her, saying she shouldn't offer herself to him!
Xiao Yuan was having a great time when she suddenly brought up the thing he regretted in the past, and he felt like he had been slapped in the face.
"Ahem! Well... I think I went to Suzhou three years ago!"
He quickly steered the conversation back on track.
Su Xuerong was taken aback: "You've been there? What were you doing in Suzhou?"
"Some things related to the imperial court..." Xiao Yuan didn't tell her about the secret iron mine in Suzhou for the time being.
Su Xuerong stared at his face with some confusion, recalling what that person looked like.
Completely different!
She lowered her eyes in disappointment: "Never mind, it probably isn't..."
"What is it?" Xiao Yuan gripped her hand tightly and pressed, "Who did you meet in Suzhou three years ago?"
Su Xuerong recalled the scene in the cave three years ago, and inexplicably blushed a little, also feeling somewhat guilty as she avoided his gaze: "N-nothing, it's just that you look a bit like someone I've met before..."
Worried that he might become suspicious if she said it aloud, she quickly explained, "It's not that we look alike, it's just that we have some similar feelings..."
A sly glint flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes, but he deliberately put on a stern face and sneered: "Could it be your former lover?"
Su Xuerong hurriedly denied it: "Don't talk nonsense! Before I got married, I..."
At this point, she clearly sensed the man's growing displeasure and immediately said, "Stop overthinking it. Just pretend I didn't ask anything today!"
