Chang Lili felt increasingly embarrassed as she soaked in the water, her face turning bright red from the sights.
What exactly did Meng Yuxiu mean?
Chang Lili couldn't understand it; just thinking about it made her hair stand on end.
She has never forgotten the excruciating pain of her first time!
Although it was an accident and Meng Yuxiu couldn't be blamed, Chang Lili was also a victim. Just thinking about that tiger-like man that night makes her shudder.
So when she came out of the water, she wanted to wrap herself up tightly, but she never expected...
Her luggage is still on the horse in the stable!
It seems like the heavens are against me.
Chang Lili tiptoed on the ground, intending to sneak onto the bed.
Just as he stretched out his leg, there was a knock on the door: "Knock knock."
"Lili." Meng Yuxiu's voice came from outside.
Chang Lili suddenly sat down in the water, alert: "What's wrong?"
"I brought you some clothes," Meng Yuxiu said. "I'm coming in."
Meng Yuxiu pushed open the door, still carrying Chang Lili's luggage in his hand. Through the landscape screen of the bathtub, he could see her tall figure standing a few steps away.
He didn't do anything, but Chang Lili still swallowed hard and said nervously, "Okay, put it on the bed for me."
Meng Yuxiu grunted in response from outside and asked, "What are you wearing?"
Chang Lili didn't know if he did it on purpose, but she was definitely getting angry. She whispered, "I'll walk out myself... You! What are you doing?"
She stared in astonishment at Meng Yuxiu, who suddenly emerged from behind the screen. For a moment, she forgot to cover herself. His snow-white body rippled like a white flower underwater, making one's throat tighten.
Meng Yuxiu slowly lifted his gaze from the graceful curves underwater, looked at her blushing face, and said in a serious tone, "I'll hand you your clothes."
Chang Lili froze, not daring to move. The person seemed to be rooted to the spot. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "You can just put it outside."
Meng Yuxiu asked seriously, "Are you going to come out without any clothes on?"
Chang Lili stared at the righteous-looking man in front of her for a few moments, realizing he was just teasing her, and said in embarrassment and annoyance, "Meng Yuxiu! Get out!"
Meng Yuxiu unfolded the blanket he was holding and said, "Alright, alright, get up quickly. I'll close my eyes when the water gets cold."
Chang Lili stared wide-eyed at the man who had casually closed his eyes. She'd already seen everything! What good would closing her eyes do now?
But Meng Yuxiu stood motionless in front of her. Chang Lili bit her lower lip and stood up from underwater, suppressing her shame. However, it was still too embarrassing to walk in front of Meng Yuxiu. Just as she was about to reach for the blanket, Meng Yuxiu stepped over, wrapped her in the blanket, and carried her out of the water.
As Meng Yuxiu walked out, he said, "I've never seen you so shy before, it's not like I've never seen you like this before."
Before Chang Lili could even tell if the man had closed his eyes, she leaned against Meng Yuxiu wrapped in a blanket and said in a bluffing tone, "You don't understand anything. There's no marriage between us, no betrothal, and I'm still an unmarried young girl. You're just taking advantage of me. Be careful, or I'll report you to the General."
Meng Yuxiu held her petite and soft body, placed her on the bed, looked down at her fair and rosy face, and said, "Don't be ashamed, you're still a young girl who hasn't married yet."
Chang Lili became angry, reached out and pinched Meng Yuxiu's face, saying, "I'm only eighteen! Just because you took advantage of me doesn't mean I'm not a little girl anymore? Meng Yuxiu, don't act innocent after getting the benefit!"
Meng Yuxiu pleaded indulgently, saying, "Alright, alright, you're a little girl, you'll always be a little girl."
Chang Lili angrily withdrew her hand, and Bai Yingying quickly hid her arm under the blanket, biting her lower lip and sulking.
Meng Yuxiu said, "Why are you angry? Just because I said you're not a little girl anymore?"
Chang Lili said, "Meng Yuxiu, look at you. You're getting more and more casual with me. Now you're even starting to dislike me."
Meng Yuxiu was both amused and exasperated by her accusations. He cupped her face in his hands and said, "I've noticed you're getting more and more infuriating. You make me feel sorry for you and angry at you at the same time."
Chang Lili snorted and said, "I need to get dressed. Guess what a great general like you is doing guarding a little girl?"
"I'm protecting my woman, what's wrong with that?"
Chang Lili's face flushed red again, and she couldn't say anything.
Meng Yuxiu has spent years in the military camp, surrounded by burly men who are all rough and tough. Don't expect him to be a gentle and refined gentleman; he's just a shameless rogue!
Chang Lili bit the hand that was holding her and said angrily, "Meng Yuxiu, you've changed. You weren't like this before."
"What do I look like?" Meng Yuxiu sat on the edge of the bed and held Chang Lili, who was only wrapped in a blanket, in his arms.
But Chang Lili was oblivious to her own feelings. She complained angrily, "You used to be so cold. You would glare at me whenever I followed you. Look at what you've become now."
“I didn’t know you before. If I had known you would be my future wife, I would have treated you even better.”
Chang Lili couldn't help but purse her lips. She was currently spoiled and arrogant, and her temper flared up and subsided quickly. In response to Meng Yuxiu's words, she couldn't help but think, "I wish I had met you sooner."
Meng Yuxiu asked, "Was living with your mother-in-law very difficult before?"
“It’s not hard work. I’ve told you so many times. I’m not some rich girl. Look at all the people in the world who are just like me. Everyone lives the same way. It’s not hard work. It’s just that everyone lives differently.” Chang Lili always saw things clearly in this way. Her fair face was full of composure and open-mindedness. “People like Xiao Shu’er are just lucky. We can’t say that we’re unlucky. Isn’t that why I met you?”
Chang Lili said earnestly, "My mother-in-law said it was all predestined, and some things were arranged in the first place. I don't feel that my life was hard before, nor do I feel sorry for myself."
Meng Yuxiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, you're right, everything in fate is predetermined."
Chang Lili said, "What about your past? Tell me about your past. I've only ever heard people talk about the Great General's great exploits and his status as a war god in Yun Kingdom, but I've never heard you talk about it yourself."
Meng Yuxiu said, "There's nothing to say about me. I'm just a reckless man. Even if I had met you earlier, I probably wouldn't have been able to protect you. While you were living in the streets, I was on the battlefield, not even knowing if I would live to see tomorrow. There are many northern barbarians who want to take my head."
Having spent so much time in the gentle breeze and drizzle of the capital, Chang Lili had forgotten that Meng Yuxiu was the fierce general who had slaughtered 100,000 Northern Barbarian cavalrymen, and that the immense blood feud of the Northern Barbarians rested on his shoulders alone.
The topic suddenly became heavy. Chang Lili was still thinking about something when Meng Yuxiu suddenly picked her up and turned her over, giving her a crisp slap on the bottom.
