"Why bother..."
Seeing Shao Chen like this, Yu Mingshu sighed softly.
But Shao Chen misunderstood what she meant.
The sound was muffled and somewhat scary.
"You really can't forgive me for not being loyal to you..."
Yu Mingshu discovered that if someone was immersed in his own world and spoke to him in a condescending manner, he would not understand at all.
So Yu Mingshu also squatted down and gently rested one knee on the ground.
He was originally wearing a military uniform, which matched well with Shao Chen's neat military uniform.
When her figure became shorter and shorter and came into Shao Chen's sight, the admiral looked up in surprise.
"Wife, you..."
"Why do you have to be so upset?"
Yu Mingshu reached out and touched Shao Chen's cold face.
"Last time we talked, I thought you understood what I meant."
Shao Chen still looked at her in confusion.
Yu Mingshu suddenly laughed.
"You really want me to punish you?"
"My wife can punish me in any way she wants."
Shao Chen looked at her devoutly, then lowered his head silently.
It was as if staring at her was a blasphemy.
"OK."
Yu Mingshu responded with a bit of malice.
She pinched Shao Chen's chin to make her see clearly what she was doing.
Shao Chen saw a delicate and beautiful little face approaching him, and without him being prepared, she pecked him lightly on the lips.
Shao Chen was stunned as if he was struck by lightning.
This isn't a punishment at all, but more of a reward.
He really wanted to hold the female in front of him in his arms, but Shao Chen knew that he did not have the ability to put this idea into action.
But Yu Mingshu's voice has the alluring power of a demon.
"Shao Chen, who's prettier, me or your ex-girlfriend?"
The question Yu Mingshu asked him was almost a life-threatening one.
Shao Chen clenched his fists quietly.
He thought her punishment would be a beating like what she had done to the Seventh Prince Cangran.
What she didn't expect was that the punishment she inflicted on herself was entirely mental.
His ex-girlfriend is the daughter of a congressman. He met her when he was promoted to major general five years ago. Li Sha expressed her admiration for him.
After that, they became closer and closer, and Li Sha promised that she would make him her legal husband.
As a result, what he waited for was not Li Sha's proposal of marriage, but the Queen's arranged marriage for Yu Mingshu.
The arranged marriage came along with his appointment and transfer order, and he had no way to refuse.
That night, Li Sha cried bitterly, complaining about her uselessness and how even her favorite male was being taken away by someone else.
That night, I promised Li Sha that even if I married Yu Mingshu, I would not give my heart to her.
And this is probably the most ironic thing he has ever done in his life.
"My dear wife, your beauty is unmatched in the entire empire."
This was not a compliment from Shao Chen, but was recognized by the Empire Star Network.
In the Star Network's list of the most beautiful females, Yu Mingshu has always been in the top three, and she is also in the top three in the ranking of the females that males most want to marry.
Yu Mingshu did not allow him to fool around like this.
Her fingers gently stroked Shao Chen's chin, with a hint of ambiguity in her eyes.
"Shao Chen, you know very well that this is not what I'm asking. I'm asking, in your eyes, am I really as pretty as Li Sha?"
Shao Chen really wanted to avoid this question.
Even though he now knew the truth, Shao Chen still felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of the care and spiritual support Li Sha had given him over the years.
"In my heart, she was truly unmatched."
Although saying this would make him feel very embarrassed, Shao Chen still chose to tell the truth in front of Yu Mingshu.
"So when you just married me and said you would be faithful to me, what exactly did your loyalty mean?"
"I will never betray you."
"But you won't fall in love with me, right?"
Yu Mingshu easily guessed the bottom line that Shao Chen had set for himself at that time.
"yes."
He admitted that this was what he thought at the time.
Now that he is married, he will be loyal to his wife, but he wants to keep his heart somewhere else forever.
"So, who told you those things?"
"One of your lieutenant generals."
At first, he even thought that this group of older subordinates disliked him as their new boss.
Now that I think about it, it was obvious that they were feeling sorry for their lady, so they wanted me to know all these things.
"I'm sorry, my wife, I'm so stupid."
He really didn't expect that in order to not fulfill her promise to marry him as her legal husband, Li Sha would plan to frame him and send him to a military court.
Then she will prepare to appear as a savior, making him willing to follow her unconditionally out of gratitude.
I was so naive that I thought I was powerless to resist the Queen's arranged marriage and I felt sorry for her.
"I never blamed you from the beginning, did I?"
Yu Mingshu asked him.
She admired Shao Chen's military talent and didn't want such a civilian general to fail in the political intrigue of the upper class. When he knew the truth, he would be depressed for the rest of his life.
She had originally planned to intervene and help him.
But after a series of coincidences with Cangran, she decided to try a different approach. Regardless of whether he understood or not, she would first protect him with her marriage.
As a result, the uncles and aunts who didn't want her to suffer any injustice couldn't wait to tell him the story.
"No." Shao Chen replied, "But if you don't punish me, I won't be able to face the resentment I once held towards you."
Shao Chen always felt that even if Yu Mingshu gave him a legal husband, he would not care, after all, he and Li Sha were truly in love with each other.
But after knowing the truth, I realized how much like a clown I was and how ridiculous I was.
If this doesn't deserve some punishment, he really can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
"My dear wife, there is a military whip in the back drawer."
“You really are…”
His reminder to himself gave Yu Mingshu a headache.
In fact, when others don't provoke her, she really has no habit of punishing others.
In this matter, although Shao Chen was confused, he did not do anything wrong. Even when he did not know the truth, he chose to be loyal to his wife.
She felt that was enough.
She propped herself up and stood up, looking at Shao Chen's thick golden hair and said.
"Shao Chen, I won't punish you for anything. If you really feel that you can't get over it, then kneel here. When you feel that you've knelt enough, come find me."
If he must punish himself, then let him kneel down long enough.
