Before long, the two of them were panting heavily.
Their lips parted, and Jing Zhe picked up Murong Xi, whose face was flushed and whose eyes were filled with seductive allure, and whispered, "What's wrong, my wife?"
Although Murong Xi's behavior yesterday did surprise Jing Zhe and showed him what true unrestrained behavior was, Murong Xi is usually very aloof and reserved. Jing Zhe felt that something was wrong with her current behavior.
Murong Xi casually tied up her long, disheveled hair that framing her forehead, then smiled and said, "Nothing's wrong!"
"I feel...you have something on your mind."
Jing Zhe looked at Murong Xi and said seriously.
Murong Xi's heart skipped a beat, but she kept a straight face and said, "My husband is overthinking it. I have nothing on my mind!"
Before Jing Zhe could speak, Murong Xi put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry, saying, "I wish every day could be like yesterday, but is that possible? After you go back, your second sister and her people will be even more wary of me. Your senior sister blocked the entrance of Wenxiang Residence early this morning. I'm afraid that even meeting you alone will be a luxury in the future. So, I naturally can't let go of such a good opportunity!"
"..."
After listening to Murong Xi's explanation, Jing Zhe suddenly understood and felt that what she said made sense.
Then he smiled and said, "My lady, don't worry. Although they are keeping a close eye on us, we will always have a chance to meet! Just like now."
"Um."
Murong Xi gave a soft reply, then nestled in Jing Zhe's arms, lowering her head and remaining silent.
At this moment, Jing Zhe helped Murong Xi up, looked into her eyes and said, "My wife, I brought you here today because I have two pieces of good news to tell you!"
"Oh? What good news? Two pieces?"
Murong Xi asked with some curiosity.
Then Jing Zhe said, "I gave both the antidote and the Immortal Transformation Pill to the disciple of the Soul-Severing Fan!"
"..."
Murong Xi opened her mouth, somewhat confused: What kind of good news is this? Does it mean the antidote didn't work and poisoned the disciple of the Soul-Severing Fan, so this is good news?
Thinking of this, Murong Xi pursed her lips. If that were really the case, Murong Xi felt it should be bad news. After all, she was hoping the antidote would work, so she could spend more time by his side...
"My disciple was perfectly fine after consuming the Soul-Severing Fan, which proves that my antidote can indeed neutralize the poison of the Immortal Transformation Pill!"
Jing Zhe asked excitedly, "Isn't this good news?"
"..."
Murong Xi's small mouth, which had just opened, closed again.
Hmm... This should be good news, but it's the disciple of the Soul-Severing Fan who ate it. Doesn't that mean he's getting the better deal? Especially since he has a grudge against them. Giving such a person longevity and immortality doesn't seem like a good idea!
At this moment, Jing Zhe said with a smile, "I saw he was fine eating, so I killed him. Oh, and I also killed his master, the Soul-Severing Fan, while I was at it! My wife, wouldn't you say that's two pieces of good news?"
"Calculate…"
Murong Xi was stunned for a moment, "You really killed them?"
"Of course, would I lie to my wife? They dared to lay a hand on her, I certainly wouldn't let them get away with it. But I also have to thank the medicine my wife took yesterday, which allowed me to reach the Grandmaster realm, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to kill them!"
"..."
Upon receiving Jing Zhe's affirmative reply, Murong Xi beamed with joy.
She was initially worried, but her concern for herself was secondary; her main concern was that they would attack Jing Zhe, especially with the Soul-Severing Fan. He was so powerful, and once he recovered from his injuries, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And all of this was because of her, so he felt somewhat guilty.
Hearing that they had all been killed by Jing Zhe, Murong Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the only heavy weight in her heart was lifted: It seems, it's time...
However, her hand then climbed onto Jing Zhe's waist and began pinching and kneading him. Jing Zhe was bewildered by the pinching and, while trying to dodge, asked, "What are you doing, my wife? Why are you hitting me after hearing such good news?"
Murong Xi gave Jing Zhe a charmingly disdainful look: "Who told you not to tell me directly? You deliberately said that to make me worry! I'll teach you a lesson so you'll remember me!"
Jing Zhe laughed and pulled Murong Xi into his arms, "You're always by my side, leaving a deep impression every day!"
"Um."
Murong Xi responded softly.
At this moment, Jing Zhe remembered the important matter and said, "Wife, I want to tell Second Sister and the others about our affair."
"Um?"
Murong Xi looked up, somewhat puzzled.
So Jing Zhe explained, "We've already consummated our marriage. You and I should tell our women about this. Otherwise, I can't bear to see you suffer because of this."
Murong Xi opened her mouth, intending to refuse, but all the words that came to her lips ultimately turned into a single word.
"good."
Jing Zhe's thinking was undoubtedly the best confession to Murong Xi. Murong Xi was moved. What else could she do but agree?
However, she made a request: "Husband, let's not tell them today, how about tomorrow at noon?"
Why wait until tomorrow noon?
"Because I'm not... ready yet."
As he spoke, Murong Xi lowered his head.
Seeing this, Jing Zhe assumed that Murong Xi was shy, so he smiled and pulled her into his arms, saying, "I never thought that our dignified Empress Yueyao would be shy! But don't be afraid, even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws sooner or later!"
Murong Xi was taken aback, then put her hands on her hips: "Who are you calling an ugly wife? Look at me, am I ugly?"
Jing Zhe laughed and said, "Not ugly at all, not only not ugly, but also very beautiful!"
Murong Xi was finally satisfied.
Jing Zhe added, "My lady, I've reserved a private room at Wenxiangju tonight for a celebration banquet for the newspaper staff. When we left Wenxiangju earlier, I told my second sister and the others that I was bringing people over from the newspaper office, so later..."
"Okay, I know. I'll go back first. You can go back with the others."
Murong Xi was very clever and spoke directly.
Then, she snuggled into Jing Zhe's arms, clinging to him tightly like an insecure little girl, and whispered, "There's no rush, let me hold you a little longer..."
No matter how aloof a woman is, she always has a softer, more feminine side. Jing Zhe affectionately ruffled Murong Xi's hair, finding her petite and adorable at that moment.
"It's not like we can't see each other tomorrow. People who don't know better would think we're going to be separated by life and death!"
"..."
The winter afternoon sun was quiet and bright.
The windows inside were open, and the noise from downstairs and the chirping of sparrows outside were blown in by the wind.
The excitement belongs to them, but not to me.
Thinking this, Murong Xi greedily inhaled the unique masculine scent emanating from Jing Zhe, and slowly closed her eyes.
Will I often cherish this memory in the days to come?
