But it doesn't matter. She really didn't plan to go out in this drab, pretty but cumbersome dress. She got up early just to show it to him.
She wasn't angry at all after getting the result she wanted.
"Okay, I'll go change it."
She had just stood up when Yuwen Sheng stood up, suddenly reached out and pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist and pressing her against him.
He lifted Zheng Quchi's chin, forcing her to look up at him.
There were only the two of them in the room. He could lean close to her from above as if no one else was there. His dark red lips, moist from a night's sleep, smiled faintly. He stared straight into her clear, moist eyes, as if trying to probe her true thoughts.
Zheng Quchi was stunned. She froze, feeling a faint, strange fragrance emanating from the other person, which forced her to hold her breath to remain calm.
I suddenly felt that the aura and attraction emanating from Yuwen Sheng were so real, and seemed to have become tangible, making her mind go blank.
"Are you sure you want to change? But I've bought you so many new clothes and cosmetics. Given your frugal nature, it would be such a waste if you didn't wear them. How about you wear them only for me from now on?"
Zheng Quchi: "..."
He completely stumped her.
I gave her the gift even though she didn't like it.
It doesn't look good, but I still made her wear it.
Is it that she has a problem with comprehension, or does he really have some kind of serious mental illness?
——
In the end, Zheng Quchi "yielded".
Since he insisted on torturing her eyes, how could she refuse his "good intentions"?
She changed into a simpler dress, styled her hair in a double bun that she had learned a little about, and tied two long braids on each side of her head, decorating them with silk flowers or hair ornaments.
She didn't go through all that trouble; she simply tied two light purple hair ribbons in the same color scheme as her clothes, which hung down from her temples, fluttering gracefully in the wind, highlighting her jade-like cheeks, cherry lips, and delicate, exquisite features.
But this made her look even smaller.
She wasn't very tall to begin with, and with such a cute hairstyle, at first glance, she didn't look like a married woman at all, but rather like an adorable young girl.
Especially when she's next to Yuwen Sheng, who has a strong and deep aura, to be honest, she doesn't seem like his wife. She's more like the girl next door or the daughter of a colleague.
As the two prepared to leave, Yuwen Sheng gradually revealed his true nature, changing into a black robe and fox fur cloak. With his long arms and legs, poor Zheng Quchi didn't even reach his shoulder... Uh, wait a minute, she seems to have grown to his shoulder already?!
Zheng Quchi stood next to him, compared their heights, and exclaimed in surprise, "Yuwen Sheng, I... I've grown taller!"
She suddenly grabbed him, and as he turned around, she jumped up and gestured, "I've grown taller, really! Look, you're up to my shoulder now."
He instinctively supported her waist, allowing her body, which had jumped up in excitement, to slowly land on the ground.
She kept talking excitedly: "Before, I wasn't even as tall as your shoulder, but now, look, I'm up there. If I jump, I can even touch your forehead."
Yuwen Sheng didn't understand what made her so happy and excited, but he went along with her and said, "Well, it seems... you've grown a bit taller."
In fact, the few centimeters she grew taller were like a godsend after a long drought, but for Yuwen Sheng, it was like a light drizzle falling on a vast lake, and he didn't feel any difference at all.
Those who are tall will never understand the suffering of those who are short.
Just like Yuwen Sheng will never know how much effort Zheng Quchi put in to grow a few more centimeters taller.
Where are you all headed so early in the morning?
At one end of the corridor, Brother Sang led his younger sister over.
The younger sister let go of Brother Sang and rushed forward to hug Zheng Quchi's leg: "Sister, where are you going?"
Zheng Quchi smiled broadly and reached out to touch his younger sister's tender face: "Your sister and brother-in-law are going out on business. You should stay home and listen to your older brother. Don't go out to play all the time. Eat less sugar, or you'll ruin your teeth."
"Oh... what do you mean by 'getting things done'?"
"There's just something to do."
"What do you want me to do?" Yao Mei asked, her eyes wide with confusion, as if she had a million questions. She had big eyes similar to Zheng Quchi's.
Zheng Quchi didn't answer her. Instead, he looked up at Brother Sang and said, "Brother, it's business with Fengmian. I'll tell you when I get back."
Zheng Quchi had also discussed some matters concerning "Liu Fengmian" with Brother Sang, and even revealed that the other party's background was not simple.
For example, "Liu Fengmian" is actually a hidden second-generation official. His hometown is not in Fuxian County. He was only transferred to Fuxian County to work because he offended his superiors. He may be transferred back later.
For example, Liu Fengmian's eyes are not actually blind. He had an eye disease before, but it has now improved and he can see things completely. As for why he wears a blindfold, it's because... he doesn't like people paying too much attention to his face.
In addition, he is currently working under General Yuwen Sheng of the Ye Kingdom.
In short, she never dared to reveal the true identity of "Liu Fengmian," who was actually Yuwen Sheng, a name feared by everyone in the Seven Kingdoms, for fear of frightening Brother Sang.
Their family was powerless, orphaned, and impoverished. With such a dragon running into their lives, it's hard to say whether it will bring them good fortune or misfortune.
So she plans to keep this a secret for now and bring it up later when the opportunity arises.
"Then you should go early and come back early. I'll stew a chicken for you and put it on the stove. If you come back late, remember to bring it to yourselves."
Upon hearing that there would be free-range chicken to eat, Zheng Quchi's eyes lit up: "Great, thank you, brother."
