Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Coaxed
The system and Shen Yan'an were both stunned and stood there for a long time without reacting. Chi Zhao even looked at her husband suspiciously, thinking, "Why is there no movement?"
Until, the system couldn't help but emit a sharp, piercing sound: 【Aaaaaaah, host, what did you call him?!】
Chi Zhao was stunned. The next second, she was suddenly pushed onto the bed. Shen Yan'an pinned her down with his bare hands and claws, his face extremely ugly. He asked through gritted teeth, "Tell me, who is Yan Zhou!"
!!
Only then did she realize why the idea of one person unifying the country had elicited such a strong reaction; she had been abstaining for too long, and this rare occasion had caused her to lose her temper and call him by the wrong name.
This is it.
The young princess was furious, her face turning ashen, her eyes red-rimmed. She pressed herself tightly against her, the contents of various stories already running through her mind again and again.
The boy was heartbroken. His voice trembled with fear as he asked, "Is he your legal husband whom you've been keeping in the countryside?"
Chi Zhao:?
"I came to your house when I was very young. Where can I find a husband to raise in the countryside?"
Shen Yan'an recalled that his father had investigated Chi Zhao and shown her the information. Her background was indeed clean. She entered the Prince Qing's mansion at a very young age, before she was allowed to get married. Fortunately, I am not her mistress.
But he was still angry. "Who exactly is Yan Zhou? Tell me, tell me! Which vixen seduced you!"
On their wedding night, the wife held him, but murmured the name of another man. Shen Yan'an felt heartbroken, as if his heart was about to break.
Why, why did you do this? Waaah, don't do this to me!
Chi Zhao's mind was racing, but just then, the system came to bother her, constantly asking, "Why did you call him Yanzhou?! How did you know he was Yanzhou?!"
The little bee clearly couldn't make many expressions, yet the system looked extremely surprised and uncertain.
Chi Zhao ignored it, finding it noisy, and casually swatted the system away. Then, she focused on comforting her husband. Feeling sorry for his tears, she reached out to wipe them away with tenderness, and then dryly explained, "If I said that Yanzhou is you, would you believe me?"
Shen Yan'an opened her beautiful, round eyes, then became even more heartbroken. Her small body seemed to lose all its strength, and she collapsed onto her, whereupon she was immediately embraced.
The boy murmured, "Now, you won't even tell me a lie to fool me? As expected, once you get something, you don't cherish it anymore, boo-hoo—"
A long whistle rang out from inside the house.
Shen Yan'an broke down and began to cry.
Tears streamed down, quickly soaking Chi Zhao's clothes. The person was frantic. "Hey, don't cry, don't cry! I'm telling the truth. Yanzhou is a name I gave you myself, not some other man. Don't cry."
Upon hearing that Yanzhou was the name she had given him, Xiaojunzi paused in her sobbing, then continued to whimper, still somewhat disbelieving, "Waaah, why did you give me this name out of the blue?"
"I... I just grabbed one randomly. Anyway, it really wasn't another man. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Shen Yan'an was still crying, so Chi Zhao could only lean in and kiss his swollen eyes. "I'm telling the truth. Don't cry anymore. I promise you'll be the only man in my life. Be good, don't cry."
She wrapped both arms around Shen Yan'an's slender waist, pulling him into her embrace and comforting him.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! You must have fallen for some vixen named Yanzhou somewhere. He seduced you, and that's why you remember him!"
Shen Yan'an was filled with hatred at this moment. He had thought his wedding night would be so wonderful and happy, but unexpectedly, it turned from heaven to hell. From the moment he heard someone else's name, he felt no warmth left in his heart.
"Shh, who calls themselves a vixen? Yanzhou is you, and you are Yanzhou, but Yanzhou has my surname, Chi Yanzhou."
Shen Yan'an was taken aback. "His surname is Chi?"
No, it's you.
The boy's shoes and socks had already been removed. Chi Zhao stroked the flesh-colored mole on that slender, jade-like foot, lowered her eyes, and kissed him again.
Shen Yan'an was taken aback. Seeing her calm and composed expression, which did not seem like she was lying, he hesitated and reluctantly accepted the explanation. However, he was still angry. "Then why change your name? Why is it Chi Yanzhou instead of Chi Yan'an!"
He didn't care about his surname; in fact, he felt it was good to take his wife's surname. However, he was afraid that his wife might have someone else in her heart, that she might not like him, and that she might not want him.
Chi Zhao remained unfazed and continued to make up an excuse, "Who would dare to make the young princess of the Prince of Qing's mansion change her surname? It's not like I don't want to live."
Xiao Junzi's romantic mindset is deeply ingrained and she'll never change it in this lifetime. Therefore, after hearing Chi Zhao's reasons, he actually found them quite reasonable.
Yes, my wife didn't dare change my surname, so she secretly came up with a new name for me, changed the surname, and called me that in private.
My wife must love me; she doesn't like any other man.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan'an's beautiful eyes curved into a smile.
But some still complained, "You shouldn't have suddenly called out that name today. You could have told me first. The way you were just now scared me to death."
Xiao Junzi was afraid that the person she loved would be unable to bear having someone else, and her wish finally came true.
"Yes, it was my fault. I won't do it again."
After coaxing Shen Yan'an, Chi Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, love-struck people are easier to appease. She lowered her eyes and kissed him, "Be good, tonight is our wedding night, let's not fight, okay?"
Shen Yan'an was pushed down onto the bed, his voice muffled, "Um... I, I didn't want to argue either, Chi Zhao... you can call me Yan Zhou."
If Prince Qing were here, he would surely faint from anger at his own son's unfilial behavior, which even disregards the names of his ancestors.
"Yanzhou..."
The lights inside flickered on and off. The man's snow-white buttocks were soft and easy to squeeze. Outside, a light drizzle had started, and dark clouds gradually obscured the bright moon, preventing any light from getting in. Only the sound of the rain and Shen Yan'an's delicate voice mingled together.
Her beautiful eyes were misty and wet.
He was bullied time and time again.
When he finally called for water, he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
She could only lie helplessly in bed, looking delicate and frail.
Chi Zhao personally carried her to the bathtub to wash her body. The two bathed together, and with the hot water, she couldn't resist and took her husband again.
The other person was completely exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. They then hugged each other and slept soundly for a long time.
Since there were no elders in the Chi family, there was no need to get up early to serve tea the next day. Chi Zhao also had her wedding leave, so they could get up whenever they wanted.
But the next day, Chi Zhao woke up earlier than her husband.
It wasn't even noon yet, but a resentful gaze was fixed on her. She couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She could only frown, get up, and stare at the system that she had been pondering all night without being able to understand.
Seeing that its host was awake, the system quickly approached and questioned him with considerable anger, "Host, when did you find out the identity of the mission target?!"
The system usually only knows how to indulge in sweets, but the lies the host made up last night were so clumsy that it immediately realized what the host knew.
Only a girl blinded by love could not hear that something was wrong!
Chi Zhao had no intention of hiding it any longer and said frankly, "I knew in the first world."
system:! ! !
The system was kept in the dark about two different worlds, and only now do we realize it!
[You, you, you! Why didn't you tell me? You wicked host, you even deceived the system!]
Chi Zhao sneered, "Why should I tell you the truth if you won't even tell me?"
【99……】
The system wanted to refute, but it was at a loss for words and could only stare at her.
Shen Yan'an turned over in his sleep, instinctively trying to burrow in, but found nothing. He mumbled "My Lady" and seemed to be waking up.
Chi Zhao quickly helped him up, then held him in her arms, her voice suddenly becoming much gentler. "But whatever your reasons for saving Yanzhou, and for sending him to my side in every lifetime, thank you."
The system was still angry, and now, being thanked by its host for the first time, it felt a little embarrassed. The little blue bee was practically blushing like a little pink bee, flapping its wings and acting coy. "Oh, there's no need to thank me so much. I'm already bound to your husband; I can't let him die."
Chi Zhao raised her eyes sharply, "[You were initially bound to my husband?]"
system:!
How could I have said that?
The bee covered its face in terror. The system flew around trying to pretend nothing had happened, but Chi Zhao wouldn't allow it. Frowning, he offered a guess: "Could I be Yan Zhou's mission target? Is that why he insists on staying at my house?"
That's a good guess, but it's completely wrong.
The system was extremely guilty. Seeing the host's increasingly dangerous gaze, it suddenly denied it, saying, "No, no, you're not the target of the mission..."
Chi Zhao was even angrier, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a passing mosquito. [I can't even become a mission target? Am I just some random passerby???]
What was my original ending for the novel?
The system covered its face and shook its head. It had let everything slip. If it didn't tell the host, the host would definitely keep pestering it.
99, somewhat resigned to the situation, covered her face and whispered, "The host has no ending; the host lives in the real world."
Oh, well, she thought she had some exciting plot twists.
That doesn't make sense either. Chi Zhao frowned. "Then why did you bind yourself to Yan Zhou? What do you need him for?"
It can't be that personal protection was randomly selected for no reason, right?
Upon hearing this, the system became instantly excited, and its fluorescent blue body vanished from Chi Zhao's sight with a bang.
...
She wanted to ask more, but the soft body in her arms had already woken up and started to wriggle.
Chi Zhao had no choice but to focus on coaxing the little princess.
Yan'an is a bit sensitive, especially towards Chi Zhao.
He'll get angry immediately if he senses that the other person's mind isn't on him.
Shen Yan'an was exhausted last night, and now his back aches and he feels terrible. He's currently fuming in someone's arms.
"Hmph, it's all your fault! I told you there's none left, but you wouldn't listen! You insisted there was still some left. You bad guy."
He pouted and cursed the bad guy, but his arms were wrapped around her neck, and he could only feel comfortable when he leaned against her chest.
"But facts prove that there are still [things]."
Chi Zhao's long, slender fingers pressed against Chen Yan'an's soft waist through his snow-white inner robe.
Shen Yan'an muttered a few more curses under his breath, but ultimately said nothing more.
Instead, she pouted and demanded, "Pick me up, I need to change my clothes. It's all your fault, you made me get up so late, I haven't even had breakfast yet."
As Chi Zhao helped him up, she picked out a bright red robe for him, which perfectly complemented the prince's good looks. At the same time, she couldn't hold back her words, "Before I made you suffer, I never saw you eat breakfast more than a few times."
"Well, that's different. Anyway, once I marry into your family, I'll definitely take good care of my health."
He used to pay little attention to his health. Later, before his marriage, his father asked a doctor specializing in men's health to give him a routine check-up. The doctor said that he was weak and that if he did not take good care of himself, it might be detrimental to his ability to have female offspring.
These words terrified the pampered young lady.
He even planned to have several daughters with his wife!
You're going to have several!
Prince Qing was also terrified. A man who marries always has to have children. What would happen if he was too weak to have children?
Human hearts are unpredictable, so he immediately told Shen Yan'an that Chi Zhao should not know about this. Even though Chi Zhao's status was far lower than that of the Prince of Qing's family, it was still his son who was marrying into the family. The Prince of Qing was still worried that his son would be mistreated because he could not have a daughter. He only told Shen Yan'an to take good care of his health at the Chi family and that he would find a way to find someone to treat him later.
"It's rare that you know your health is important. I'll have someone prepare a meal for you now."
"Mmm, I want to eat meat!"
The doctor said that eating more meat would improve his health, so even though Shen Yan'an didn't particularly like meat, he had to eat it to maintain his health.
Chi Zhao took out that slightly cool hand, brought it to her lips and kissed it lightly, "Okay, that's a good girl."
When she first served food to Xiaojunzi, Xiaojunzi was very fussy, refusing to eat this or that, only eating some vegetarian food. Later, when the two got together, Xiaojunzi became more affectionate, and it would take her a long time to coax her to eat a piece of meat, she just didn't want to eat it.
Chi Zhao couldn't resist the little prince's coaxing and wanted him to eat some meat, so he often had to hold him and coax him for a while before he could get the meat into his mouth.
The kitchen in the Chi residence was delivered in advance by the Prince Qing's mansion, fearing that the young princess would not eat well there.
Chi Zhao specifically instructed them to prepare some of their specialty meat dishes, stewing the meat until it was tender before serving.
Shen Yan'an didn't like meat at first sight, but for the sake of his health, he forced himself to eat a bite. Then he snuggled up to Chi Zhao and whispered, "I still want to eat some vegetables."
"Yes, eat if you want. Don't force yourself. It's not like you've just stopped liking meat."
Chi Zhao was already used to it.
"No, that won't work either. The doctor said it's bad for your health."
"How about we eat some lean meat? We can have some chicken, and they specially skimmed off the chicken fat. We can also drink the soup, so it shouldn't be too greasy."
Chi Zhao served someone a bowl and then picked out some tender beef to put on his small plate.
Shen Yan'an doesn't like eating meat, but he can barely eat a little beef. He absolutely doesn't want to touch mutton or pork.
"Okay, I'll eat them all!"
He must take good care of his health and bear a daughter for his wife. How can a man establish himself in the inner quarters if he doesn't have a daughter? If he doesn't have a child, he won't have the face to stop his wife from taking a concubine in the future. How could he dare to let his wife have no descendants?
If he had children, he could perhaps win over his wife by being affectionate and loving, and she would then be able to look down on anyone else.
The young girl nestled obediently into her wife's arms.
The system was extremely pleased with this sight.
I couldn't help but think that I hoped he would be just as honest in the next world and not repeat his old mistakes.
