The delicate kisses first fell on the fair forehead, then on the bright eyes that had added a touch of charm after giving birth, and finally fell on the scar on the cheek, which was now intact and as smooth and delicate as the finest white jade.
Dan Ruo pushed the clingy man and said, "Let's go. We'll meet in two days. Don't miss the important things."
Only then did Lu Xiuyuan leave, looking back every few steps.

After joining up with the main force, they soon arrived at the gate of the capital.
Lu Guangzhi had already been led by his superiors to rehearse the welcome ceremony countless times.
He looked at Lu Xiuyuan, who was sitting on the Ferghana horse in great glory, and felt very uncomfortable. If he had been adopted into the Lu family earlier, wouldn't he be the one enjoying the glory now?
He wanted to make Lu Xiuyuan look bad, like a victorious general being thrown off his horse when returning to the capital.
Will everyone doubt his ability? Will this unprecedented military achievement be achieved entirely with the help of the Lu family army generals below?
He seized the opportunity and threw the hidden weapon in his hand accurately under Lu Xiuyuan's horse.
Lu Xiuyuan did not feel complacent just because the people in the city were watching and cheering.
On the contrary, when he saw Lu Guangzhi, he became alert. After noticing Lu Guangzhi's small movements, he changed the direction of his horse in time.
The horse under Lu Xiuyuan's crotch let out a long neigh and was about to drop its hooves towards Lu Guangzhi.
Lu Guangzhi was quite skilled and dodged quickly, this time avoiding being trampled by the horse.
Lu Xiuyuan dismounted and picked up the ball filled with silver needles in the middle of the road. The young general guarding the city gate was terrified. No mistakes could be made today as so many people were watching.
He was at a loss as to how to defend himself when he saw Lu Xiuyuan turn over Lu Guangzhi's right hand, and there were obvious needle marks in the center of his hand.
He immediately got angry and wanted to convict Lu Guangzhi, have him beaten with twenty sticks and dismissed from his official position.
Lu Guangzhi looked at General Lu and his uncles behind Lu Xiuyuan and asked for help:
"My dear uncles, Lu Xiuyuan has married into the Xuanping Marquis's family, and now I am General Lu's only legitimate son."
But no one responded to him. These people did not submit to General Lu. After all, they had all given their heads to General Lu for the sake of General Lu's face.
After this battle, Lu Xiuyuan showed his talent and ability, and they decided to follow Lu Xiuyuan firmly in the future, no matter whether Lu Xiuyuan was in the Lu family or not.
Lu Guangzhi was embarrassed by the deafening silence for a moment. His boss reacted immediately and pulled him aside to give him a beating.
Lu Xiuyuan kindly reminded: "When you go home, you can tell your father and grandmother that Xiuyuan has married into the family and cannot go back to fulfill his filial duties without the consent of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion.
However, they can come to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion on the 28th of this month to attend my children's full-moon banquet."
