Looking at the table full of dishes, some of which were already cold, it was clear that Bai Lingxi had been waiting for him on purpose, and it had taken quite a while.
Zhou Changling carried the little prince to the table, then took Bai Lingxi's hand and led her to sit down, saying with concern, "An'er has gotten heavier these days, Xi'er, don't tire yourself out carrying him all the time."
Bai Lingxi laughed and punched his chest lightly, her little hand not too hard, more like a tickle. Zhou Changling wanted to pull this mischievous little girl into his arms and "punish" her properly, but the little girl in his arms was not happy.
"Waaaaah—"
Seeing that the two adults ignored him, the clever little boy became unhappy and started wailing in a very serious manner. If there hadn't been no tears in his eyes, he might have actually fooled him.
"An'er is crying?"
Bai Lingxi, with her loving motherly heart, couldn't bear the sound of a child sobbing, so she disregarded everything else and rushed over, only to feel a kiss on her forehead.
"you!"
Bai Lingxi was completely stunned. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had been kissed without her consent. A blush immediately rose to her cheeks, making her look like a ripe peach, which was quite delicious.
"Haaaaaah."
The little prince couldn't understand what they were saying and kept babbling, completely forgetting that he had just pretended to cry. Now he had given himself away. Bai Lingxi could only smile helplessly after seeing this.
When it was time for dinner, the wet nurses took the little prince over. Zhou Changling knew they had taken very good care of him, so he rewarded him with a few gold ingots, which made the wet nurses overjoyed and grateful.
After they left, Zhou Changling waved his hand, and the servants who were serving the meal also tactfully left, leaving only the two of them.
Zhou Changling's eyes burned with desire, turning him into a wife-obsessed maniac. He hadn't touched Bai Lingxi before, but now that Bai Lingxi had finally finished her postpartum confinement, it was time for him to finally indulge in some new pleasures!
Bai Lingxi knew nothing about any of this. She ladled out a bowl of soup and sipped it slowly. Seeing this, Zhou Changling personally filled Bai Lingxi's bowl with food.
Bai Lingxi felt puzzled. She looked at Zhou Changling suspiciously, and felt a chill run down her spine.
Bai Lingxi thought for a moment, then asked, "Husband, you always look at me like that, it makes me feel uneasy."
"Really? It's just that it's rare to see you so energetic, so I wanted to talk to you more. Do you like these dishes?" Zhou Changling smiled gently, his hands moving non-stop as he filled Bai Lingxi's soup bowl again.
Bai Lingxi was really hungry. Her little brain couldn't figure out Zhou Changling's "purpose." Her big eyes blinked, but after looking for a while, she still couldn't figure it out. She then started eating her food in small bites.
Zhou Changling's mouth was dry. The scene before was too unattainable for him, like a dream. Now that he saw the little person sitting properly in front of him, he finally felt a little more at ease.
Perhaps it was because he had been abstaining for too long, but when the man looked at her alluring red lips and radiant white skin, he was breathtakingly beautiful, and his body inevitably reacted.
Bai Lingxi, having eaten her fill, looked at Zhou Changling's untouched chopsticks and asked in confusion, "Husband, aren't you hungry?"
"Try this roasted duck, it should suit your taste." Bai Lingxi picked up a decent-looking piece of duck and put it into Zhou Changling's bowl.
Then she served him a lot of dishes that she thought were pretty good, and Zhou Changling didn't refuse. He ate them heartily, not at all feeling that he was undermining the emperor's dignity.
This wasn't the only instance of breaking etiquette; he had made too many exceptions for Bai Lingxi. Thinking about how long the night would last, Zhou Changling quickened his pace during dinner.
After the servants cleared away the food and helped the two of them wash up, they lay down in the bedchamber early in the morning.
Bai Lingxi was still very energetic and not sleepy at all. She was just a little dazed. It seemed like she hadn't done anything. She hadn't even finished reading the storybook from yesterday, so how did she end up in bed?
Thinking of this, Bai Lingxi rolled out of bed, wanting to get the storybook she hadn't finished reading yesterday.
But as soon as she stood up, a large hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.
Zhou Changling's hoarse voice sounded from above Bai Lingxi's head: "Xi'er, where are you going?"
Bai Lingxi felt that Zhou Changling was different today than usual; his large hand was also very hot, somewhat like... like that day...
Bai Lingxi became inexplicably nervous, and her speech was not as natural and fluent as before: "I, I can't sleep, I want to read a storybook."
"Can't sleep?" Zhou Changling's voice grew increasingly hoarse, as if he was trying to restrain himself. He coaxed, "Then, Xi'er, let's not read those storybooks today. How about we do something fun?"
Bai Lingxi's keen intuition, like that of a small animal, told her not to agree, so she shook her head, her little head bobbing cutely.
"No, thank you." Bai Lingxi declined his invitation.
Unfortunately, it was too late; the man's warm body pressed against her from behind.
"Xi'er, then you should help your husband."
Zhou Changling showered Bai Lingxi's face and body with countless kisses, leaving no part untouched.
Hot, burning kisses rained down on Bai Lingxi, making it hard for her to breathe. Her small hands clung weakly to Zhou Changling's shoulders, as if clinging or pushing him away.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Lingxi managed to utter a complete sentence, but she was so delicate and frail that she couldn't possibly resist.
Especially for someone like Zhou Changling who has been a vegetarian for a long time, how could he possibly spit out a piece of meat when he finally gets to eat it?
This only brought suffering to Bai Lingxi, who was powerless to bear everything he brought.
"Xi'er smells so good!"
The moment Zhou Changling sank, both of their faces flushed, and Bai Lingxi was drenched in sweat.
The soft sounds drifted out through the window, making even the moon blush and quietly disappear behind the treetops.
Bai Lingxi no longer remembered how long she had been tormented and tortured, only that no matter how much she begged for mercy, the other party showed no mercy.
Annoyed, Bai Lingxi scratched the other's back vigorously, which only made Zhou Changling's eyes light up and he became even stronger.
Before Bai Lingxi fainted, she seemed to hear Zhou Changling say something, but she couldn't remember anything about it.
Zhou Changling ate his fill. What he was actually talking about was that he was leaving for Nanling the next day and wouldn't be back for about half a month.
But seeing that Bai Lingxi had already fainted from exhaustion, with a rosy face, he kissed her, held her and washed her body, and the two of them fell into a deep sleep together.
