Five years later, in Qingzhou City, Xiao Du wore a brand new dark green gown with gold ties. He adjusted the jade crown on his head and suddenly said to Xiaochun who was tidying up his clothes: "Do you think I'm handsome?"

Xiaochun staggered and almost fell down when he heard this. He didn't know what was wrong with this gentleman today that he would think of asking such a question. But he still pretended to be very serious and smiled apologetically: "Handsome!"

Xiao Du raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think Master was more handsome in the past or now?"

Xiaochun made a gurgling sound in his throat, and felt that no matter how he answered this question, it would be dangerous. However, his skill in flattery was not practiced in vain, so he immediately replied with a smile: "Master is handsome all the time."

Xiao Du snorted, but was quite satisfied with this answer, so he mercifully let Xiaochun go. He looked at himself in the bronze mirror, still with slender arms and waist, and muttered in his heart with great dissatisfaction: "I'm obviously not getting uglier or older, why does my wife prefer to face that dirty and smelly little brat instead of me?"

It's no wonder that he is so self-pitying. Since Yuan Xi finally gave birth to their son Xiao Mu a few months ago, Xiao Du's initial ecstasy has gradually turned into loss. It's because Yuan Xi finally got this child, and she really loves him to the core. She holds little Xiao Mu in her arms all day long and doesn't want to let go. She does everything herself and hardly lets anyone else interfere.

As a result, Xiao Du, the husband, was completely neglected. He thought that he could spend some time with Yuan Xi after the pregnancy, but after the birth of his son, he couldn't leave his mother every night, and Yuan Xi was unwilling to find a wet nurse to feed the child. So Xiao Du could only watch his son eat and drink his fill, and fall asleep in Yuan Xi's arms, while he tossed and turned, feeling very lonely and empty.

When Xiao Du thought of the miserable situation he had experienced in the past few months, he felt so angry that his roots were itching. He swore that he would throw that bad boy into Nanny Li's room tonight. He could not let him occupy his wife anymore. Those little hands, that body, and that embrace should clearly belong to him.

With this firm belief, he pushed open the bedroom door. Before he could say anything, Yuan Xi rushed to him and said, "You're here at the right time. Mu'er has peed again. I just changed his diaper. You coax him for a while. I'll take it to Li Ma to wash it, and then find some clean clothes to bring over." Then she ran out like a gust of wind.

So Xiao Du was left alone in the room, accompanying the little kid on the bed who was happily sucking his fingers and rolling his eyes. He sat on the bed unwillingly, looking at the round little ball of flesh wrapped in the quilt: the chubby little face was rosy, the lotus-like little hands were grabbing at the air randomly, and it was staring at him curiously. Xiao Du snorted and said with disdain: "You look so ugly, you don't look like your father at all."

The little baby seemed to understand what was said. He kept mumbling for a long time and finally spat out a large mouthful of saliva. The sticky saliva flowed down the corners of his lips and was about to drip onto his neck. Xiao Du frantically found a towel to wipe him dry, and poked his face angrily and said, "You are ugly and dirty, not even half as handsome as your father. Tell me, why does your mother only want to look at you and not even look at me?"

Xiao Mu's dark pupils rolled around, as if he was very dissatisfied with the finger poking his face, so he opened his mouth and cried "wa wa wa". Xiao Du was startled, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, while clumsily coaxing him: "Don't cry, don't cry, or your mother will think I'm bullying you again." But the baby couldn't stop crying, and seeing that his mouth was about to be covered again, he cried hysterically.

Yuan Xi heard the crying from a distance, and hurriedly ran to push the door open, and then saw her baby son crying so hard that his face was red, and his tears and snot had made his little face a mess. Next to him, Xiao Du was thrashing around the bed, at a loss, trying to comfort him and being scared. She rushed over and picked up little Xiao Mu, complaining to Xiao Du: "Look at how you are as a father, you made your son cry in such a short time!"

Xiao Du suddenly felt very aggrieved. He didn't do anything, just told the truth. But after all this trouble, the confidence he had just gathered outside the house was gone. He opened his mouth, but seeing that Yuan Xi had no intention of paying attention to him, he had to walk out with his head down in depression. Turning his head in front of the door, he saw that his son, who was crying just now, was already smiling and rubbing and kissing his mother proudly. He couldn't help but say angrily in his heart: "You are so cunning at such a young age. Let's see how your father will deal with you."

A few days later, Xiao Du brought a few food boxes to Yuan Xi, smiling mysteriously and asking her to open them. Yuan Xi curiously opened the boxes and found that they were her favorite cakes when she was in Beijing, including lotus cake, steamed cheese cake, jade bean cake... The whole box was filled with them, and she couldn't help rubbing her hands with excitement, and her cheeks flushed.

She had been with Xiao Du in Qingzhou for many years, and she was used to other things, but she missed the food in Beijing. Qingzhou was not as rich as Beijing, and could not make such delicate and soft cakes, but she always felt that missing food was a bit pretentious, so she kept this regret in her heart. Who knew that Xiao Du saw through her thoughts and specially transported these cakes from Beijing thousands of miles away.

Thinking of this, she felt sweet and warm in her heart. She quickly picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. She felt the long-lost fragrance filling her mouth, and then she closed her eyes in satisfaction. Xiao Du saw her cheeks bulging with food, and felt that she was happier than he was when he ate it himself. He took credit for it and said, "In order to keep the cakes fresh, the food boxes were wrapped with ice cubes, and they were transported by several fast horses day and night." Yuan Xi felt a little distressed when she heard it and said, "You go through so much trouble just for a few boxes of cakes. Be careful that people will think you are too extravagant if they know about it." Xiao Du smiled and said, "As long as it makes you happy, it doesn't matter what others say."

He saw Yuan Xi's bright smile and said, "You've been very tired taking care of Mu'er these days. Let me give you a massage to relieve your fatigue."

Yuan Xi had never known that he could do massage techniques, so she lay down on the couch with some curiosity and felt his warm and powerful palms begin to move around her shoulders and neck. The strength was just right, which made Yuan Xi feel very useful and could bear it. He couldn't help but hum softly comfortably. Unexpectedly, the hand started to go to places it shouldn't go after pressing it. Xiao Du used his fingers with ulterior motives to go all the way down the smooth back, rubbing it while making gentle circles, and then slipped into the hem of the skirt. , kneading and twisting mischievously, Yuan Xi's body was a little sensitive just after giving birth, and when she was pressed like this again, she felt a surge of heat in her lower abdomen. Her face flushed, and she gritted her teeth to hold back the moan that was about to come out. Suddenly she remembered that her son was still sleeping beside her. She turned her head quickly and saw Xiao Mu chewing his thumb and staring at them with wide eyes. She hurriedly pulled He took out his hand and said, "No, the child is still watching!"

Xiao Du leaned over and blew into her ear, saying with a bit of grievance: "My wife... we haven't had sex for a long time..." Yuan Xi's face turned redder. She knew that she had indeed made him hold it in for too long this time. She felt a little reluctant, but still hesitated and said: "But Mu'er is still young, someone has to take care of her."

Xiao Du was waiting for this sentence, and quickly replied: "Send him to Li Ma tonight, and find a wet nurse to feed him first. Anyway, I can't bear to see you working so hard to feed the baby every night."

Yuan Xi shook her head and said, "But I don't want a wet nurse to come. I want to feed our child myself."

Xiao Du begged with a bitter face: "Then let him sleep at Li Ma's place tonight. If he starts to make a fuss, let him come back to nurse."

Yuan Xi couldn't stand his soft pleading. She felt that she had indeed neglected her husband during this period, so she sighed softly and said reluctantly, "Okay, but only tonight."

Xiao Mu stared at him with a pair of innocent eyes, and finally realized his fate at this moment. He quickly let go of his fingers, opened his mouth and burst into tears. Yuan Xi's heart softened immediately, but Xiao Du picked up Xiao Mu and said, "I will comfort him." Then he turned his back and showed his son a victorious smile.

So at night, Xiao Mu was sent to Nanny Li's room. Nanny Li was also an experienced person, and she immediately understood what the couple meant. She quickly took Xiao Mu with a smile and promised that she would take good care of the young master, so they could rest assured.

Xiao Du's long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and he immediately ordered people to light Yuan Xi's favorite Suhexiang in the house, and changed the bedding in the house, and even covered it with rose petals, making all the necessary preparations. Yuan Xi had just stepped into the room and had not had time to exclaim, when Xiao Du could not wait to pull her onto the bed. Yuan Xi found his impatience a little funny, and before she could tease him a few words, his lips and tongue had been tightly entangled, and he licked and demanded in her mouth like crazy, until Yuan Xi was kissed to the point of fainting, and she collapsed in his arms.

When Yuan Xi came out of her dizziness, he had already laid her down on the bed. His big hands reached into her loose clothes and stirred all her sensitive parts. Yuan Xi felt a tingling sensation spreading from his palms, instantly burning her whole body with unbearable heat. She couldn't help but let out a hoarse moan. This sound completely destroyed Xiao Du's reason. He leaned over and gently bit her smooth neck. Just as he was about to tear off the last obstacle on her body, he suddenly heard hysterical crying coming from outside the door.

The sound frightened the two of them. Fortunately, Nanny Li just shouted outside the door: "The young master is crying non-stop. He may need to be fed. Madam, would you like to come out and have a look?" Yuan Xi hurriedly wanted to get up, but was held down by Xiao Du, whose eyes were full of desire. At this time, something unexpected happened to the two of them. Yuan Xi listened to the crying sound and her chest was unconsciously wet. She quickly covered her face with shame and said, "No! I have to go to feed the baby!"

Xiao Du stared in amazement as Yuan Xi's chest became increasingly wet. He could not go on any further and had to reluctantly let Yuan Xi go and bring Xiao Mu in to feed her. When Nanny Li saw his ashen face, she felt even more guilty. After Xiao Mu finished feeding and fell asleep contentedly in his mother's arms, she quickly took him back to the room.

Yuan Xi fastened her lining and saw Xiao Du sitting on the bed with an awkward look on his face. She suddenly found the situation very funny and couldn't help but laughed with her hands covering her mouth. This laugh made Xiao Du feel that his kindness was being mocked, so he turned his head and lay down on the bed in anger. Yuan Xi smiled and lay on him, gently poked his chest, and whispered softly in his ear: "Don't be angry, I promise you, let's try a few more things today."

Xiao Du was so upset that he turned over and pressed her down. In a blink of an eye, Yuan Xi was panting again. Xiao Du's eyes were filled with darkness. Just as he was about to sink down, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Du's mood at this moment was almost devastating. He couldn't help but roared, "Who is it! Don't want to live anymore! Get out!"

There seemed to be silence outside the door, and then a very aggrieved voice was heard, "Brother and sister-in-law, it's me!"

Yuan Xi and Xiao Du were both shocked. Xuan Er came at this time. Could something have happened? They hurriedly straightened their clothes and went to open the door. As soon as they opened the door, Xiao Zhixuan burst into tears in Yuan Xi's arms and said, "Sister-in-law, that Xia guy bullied me. You have to help me."

Yuan Xi was a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly welcomed her in, and ordered the servants to pour her a cup of tea so that she could talk slowly. When Xiao Zhixuan finished her accusation in one breath, Xiao Du's face was extremely ugly, and he said: "You ran all the way to Qingzhou for such a trivial matter, and even knocked on our door in the middle of the night."

Xiao Zhixuan wiped her tears and said, "We've only been married for five years, and he dares to treat me like this. Besides, I came to see you because I missed you. If you didn't take me in, I would be left alone."

Xiao Du couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, thinking that his sister must have made that surnamed Xia suffer a lot in recent years, and she was accustomed to being so spoiled even after becoming a mother. Yuan Xi quickly signaled Xiao Du not to provoke her anymore, and then held Xiao Zhixuan's hand and said: "Xuan'er, you sleep with me tonight, and we can have a good chat if you have anything to say."

Xiao Zhixuan burst into laughter, hugged Yuan Xi and said, "That's great, sister-in-law, I missed you so much. I have a lot to say to you."

Seeing Xiao Du's face was already wrinkled, Yuan Xi hurriedly said, "Ask Li Ma to bring the child over. Mu'er has never left us. I'm afraid he will cry again."

Xiao Du gritted his teeth and said, "You accompany Xuan'er to have a good talk, and Mu'er will sleep with me tonight."

So, that night, Xiao Du sadly changed from hugging his wife to hugging his child. He looked at his son who was sleeping soundly in his arms, sighed and complained: "Stinky boy, your mother didn't even want your father for you. You must treat her well in the future and be filial to her, understand?" He seemed to have thought of something, and his tone softened, and continued: "Your mother is not easy. She accompanied your father to such a far place and stayed there for five years. Fortunately, she was there all these years." He lowered his head and smiled, and then said: "Your parents have loved you since you were a child. Your mother was not as happy as you when she was a child, but fortunately, she met your father."

Yes, how lucky they were to meet each other.
