Wang Ci knew that this man possessed a ruthless streak; if he couldn't have it, he wouldn't let anyone else have it. However, she was also certain that as long as Feng Guang was by his side, she would be well protected. Therefore, Wang Ci stated her conditions, "I can agree to you marrying Feng Guang, but Feng Guang has only just come of age. She is still young, and if she becomes pregnant at this time, it might be detrimental to her health, so..."
"Don't worry, Madam Xia," Zhou Xing said. "Feng Guang won't get pregnant so soon."
Oh, it's not even certain whether I can get pregnant.
He finally discovered this treasure, how could someone else have to interfere in their relationship so soon?
Wang Ci didn't understand the meaning behind his words. For women, childbirth is like having one foot in the grave. She was relieved to hear this assurance, so she clearly said, "Then you can rest assured, no one will object to your marriage."
After all, she was the one who called the shots in the Xia family.
Feng Guang tilted her head back and asked, "My mother just agreed to let me marry you like that?"
"Madam Xia was moved by my deep affection for Fengguang, so she naturally agreed." Zhou Xing picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it to her lips. "I specially had it made for you, your favorite dessert."
She took a bite, her eyes sparkling. "So sweet! I love it!"
He had his subordinates send the best pastry chef from Kyoto over by express courier. How could it not be delicious?
Even if it's delicious, you shouldn't eat too much.
"Why?" She quickly finished the osmanthus cake in his hand, and looking at the crumbs on his fingertips, she subconsciously stuck out her pink tongue and licked them.
Zhou Xing's eyes darkened, and she said softly, "This is for your teeth's sake."
"I... um!" Her lips were sealed again.
The kiss was sweet, sickeningly sweet, yet it made him want it to be even sweeter. Zhou Xing had never liked sweets before, but if he tasted sweetness from her mouth, he would love it immensely.
Sweetness can be addictive, but she's right beside him. What does it matter if he's addicted?
On the fifteenth of this month, the eldest daughter of the Xia family got married. Of course, she didn't marry the coroner Yang Jie, but a young master who had recently moved to Tong County.
Some people sighed, saying that this young master was a man with a disability in both legs, which was a pity for the beautiful young lady of the Xia family.
Feng Guang would only complain when she heard this, saying that these people were just meddling in other people's business. Then she would smile and throw herself into her husband's arms, happily taking advantage of him... or, happily being taken advantage of.
Zhou Xing only had one guard named Yi Fu by his side. As for how many people he had in secret, Feng Guang didn't know, nor did she need to know. Feng Guang and Zhou Xing lived peacefully in Tong County for a year. In the spring of the following year, a secret letter arrived from the capital.
His Majesty had not seen the Crown Prince and missed him dearly, so he wrote a letter summoning the Crown Prince back to the palace and requesting that he bring the Crown Princess along for an audience.
Feng Guang was filled with anxiety. "Zhou Xing, why does the emperor suddenly want to see you? Maybe we shouldn't go back."
“It was my father who summoned me. If I refused, it would be a great disrespect.” He flicked her nose, amused by her nervousness, like a restless little lamb.
She grasped his hand, "But I always feel like something's fishy..."
"It's not that Feng Guang thinks so, it's just how things are."
