"You mean... family background? The Bai family is quite good, and he is now the head of Bianyun Village and a general in the Chongyang Army."
"The Bai family are merchants. Bianyun Village was originally a bandit stronghold. A general in charge does not necessarily mean a noble title or a powerful clan. Liu Yu may seem unremarkable, but his ancestors were once a first-rank official and a scholarly family with titles and honors. Liu Xiaohuan is also the only legitimate daughter, so when she marries, she should at least marry someone of equal social standing."
"When two people are in love, there's no need for so many formalities. Take us for example, I'm just a peasant girl from the bottom of my heart, while your father's lineage is the prestigious family you just mentioned, and your mother's lineage is even more powerful, the Red Witch King. We're worlds apart, aren't we? Yet we've had three children, haven't we?"
"The fact that you're pregnant only means I'm in good health." Fu Yunchen reached out and patted her head.
Mu Run: "...Get lost!"
Fu Yunchen chuckled: "Even though we're not a good match in terms of social standing, we can still be together, but there will be many obstacles along the way."
Mu Run remained silent. Weren't they just like that...?
"Then what title should we give him? And Qiao Dongzi and the others too, give them titles as well."
“I’ll arrange all of this, you don’t need to worry about it. Just focus on taking good care of yourself during your pregnancy.” Fu Yunchen took a box out of his sleeve and handed it to Mu Run, “Pick out some things you like.”
What is it?
Mu Run took the box and opened it... Inside was a box full of top-quality gemstones of various colors, including two pearls the size of a fingertip, one snow-white and perfectly round, and the other a rare purple gourd shape.
"This gourd-shaped pearl is so beautiful!"
"Besides this?"
"And... this emerald is also very beautiful."
No woman dislikes a beautiful baby, and Mu Run is no exception.
As Fu Yunchen watched her sparkle as she selected her favorite gems, he felt that all the gems in the box combined couldn't compare to the beauty of her eyes.
...
Liu Xiaohuan, following Mu Run's orders, disembarked with Bai Shalu to purchase supplies.
Although she looks quite young, she is decisive and efficient when it comes to shopping and knows how to negotiate prices, unlike a young girl who is completely detached from worldly affairs.
Of course, she herself was not the delicate type of woman. A woman who could be more ruthless than men on the battlefield would only be more ruthless than men in other areas as well.
Bai Shalu liked women like that; the more capable they were, the more he loved them, and he was completely smitten.
"General Bai, is there something on my face?" Liu Xiaohuan asked impatiently, since he had been staring at her almost the entire way.
Bai Shalu replied, "Yes, there is something there."
Liu Xiaohuan touched her face. "What is it?"
Bai Shalu said, "It's kind of pretty."
Liu Xiaohuan was taken aback, then her face flushed slightly, and finally she turned her head away, "...Do you need to tell me? It's a fact I've known since I can remember."
That slightly arrogant look is absolutely captivating...
After returning to the ship from shopping, Bai Shalu couldn't wait to find Mu Run again.
"Your Highness, have you asked Xiao Huan?" he asked anxiously.
Mu Run looked at him, then suddenly raised her hand and lightly tapped her forehead. "Look at my memory, I actually forgot."
Bai Shalu felt like vomiting blood. "Then... I'll trouble Your Highness to ask Xiao Huan what she thinks of me."
“Okay, come see me again tomorrow, and I’ll ask her what she thinks later,” Mu Run replied.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. I'll wait for your good news."
