"Hmm...call me again." Mu Beichen replied, cupping the back of her head with his hand to force her to look him in the eye. His peach blossom eyes curved into crescent shapes, a charming smile filled with boundless doting.
After being teased by him so nonsensically, the young woman's gaze froze for a moment, and she replied with a slightly dull "ah" in a drawn-out tone.
Mu Beichen lowered his head even further, his warm lips pressed against her cherry-like mouth, and said in a gentle tone, "Be good, call me husband."
Yu Qianqian raised her delicate eyebrows and smiled, her long, thick, slightly curled eyelashes fluttering against his face. Then she softly called out, "Husband..."
Hearing the soft voice in his ear, Mu Beichen's heart pounded wildly. He looked at the petite woman in his arms in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "Qianqian, it sounds so nice... Can you say it again?"
Seeing his bewildered expression as if he had just woken up from a dream, Yu Qianqian found it amusing. She tilted her head back and lay on his lap, chuckled softly, and sweetly called out to him with a playful tone, "Husband, husband, husband!"
"I'm here...I'm here!" Mu Beichen responded excitedly, his eyes filled with tears. He reached out and wrapped his arm around Yu Qianqian's soft waist, pressing her against his burning chest. He gradually increased the force of his embrace, holding her even tighter.
A sudden force struck her chest and back, instantly creating a suffocating pressure. Her small hands and feet struggled against his chest, her voice weak and broken: "Ah... Mu Beichen... I'm suffocating..."
Mu Beichen's heart tightened. Belatedly realizing that Yu Qianqian, who had almost been choked by his anxious grip, quickly let go, repeatedly stammering, "My darling, you scared me! You scared me! Thank goodness you're alright, thank goodness you didn't leave me..."
He carefully reached behind her and gently tapped her back. His gaze slowly lowered, focusing on the woman leaning against him, panting heavily. He didn't notice the man and woman staring at them blankly from the side.
Just moments ago, the two were facing the agony of a life-or-death separation, but in the blink of an eye, their demeanor changed drastically. They were now all lovey-dovey and intimate, which made Su Yu stare in disbelief. He stood there for a long, long time, not even catching his breath, as an extremely strong sense of urgency welled up in his heart.
Leng Yuexi quietly turned her gaze over and found that Su Yu hadn't reacted for a long time and seemed a bit dazed. She tiptoed over and tugged at the corner of his sleeve. The latter froze, turned his head to look at her in surprise, and instantly came to his senses.
They looked at each other, and then simultaneously turned their gazes to the same spot. What did they see next after that blank look?
Along the secluded flower-lined path, Mu Beichen's voice boomed in a low, deep voice: "Why were you so heartless, leaving without ever returning?"
"Why won't you come back to me?"
"You know perfectly well that I'm waiting for you, right here in the palace. You should know how much I miss you, I'm almost going crazy with longing!"
He was like a mad beast, almost roaring as he poured out the wounds in his heart.
Yu Qianqian trembled slightly, looked up and met his eyes, her gaze filled with shock, but for a moment all the words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.
