"I'm actually not satisfied at all." Duan Tingxuan lamented, "Food and sex are human nature. You see, saints say that sex is as important as food. You are my wife, why don't you give me the opportunity to get close to you? Even if there is something in your body... cough cough, then I ask myself that I treat you well, right? And look at me, my young master, I am as handsome as jade, unrestrained and suave, I hold a high position and have a splendid family background. No matter who you are, it's not a grievance for you to commit yourself to me, right? But you just don't give me a polite face. No matter how funny you are, you run away like a swimming fish at the critical moment. No, a swimming fish is still good. Most of the time you are a tiger. Haven't I been kicked off the bed by you many times?"
Seeing that the young marquis was getting more and more aggrieved, Su Nuannuan quickly waved her hand to stop him: "Stop, stop, I want to ask you, since you usually think this way, why do you think it through today?"
Duan Tingxuan's face, which had been pretending to be aggrieved, suddenly froze, and then slowly returned to its solemnity. Su Nuannuan could even see a hint of fear in those unfathomable peach blossom eyes, and she suddenly understood something.
As expected, Duan Tingxuan said in a deep voice: "Why? Because I almost lost you today. When I learned that you were attacked by bandits in Pushan Temple, you don't know that I almost collapsed. Why do you think the prince let me go? It's because even if I stayed in the East Palace, I couldn't play any role. It should have taken me no more than an hour to get here on Pegasus, but that was the most tormenting and painful period of my life. I didn't dare to think about your end, but my mind was always turning around the scene of your blood splattering five steps. Nuannuan, I almost went crazy. At that time, I realized that I didn't need any physical intimacy or love, as long as you were still by my side. It was enough. As long as God let you live, even if you were injured, disabled, disfigured, or lost your mind, it didn't matter, as long as you were still alive. And I can still hold you warm in my arms. That's enough."
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm injured, disabled, disfigured, and demented, can't you just think of me a little bit?"
Su Nuannuan waved her fist in anger and shouted. But her eyes were sparkling: Hate it, Duan Tingxuan is so cunning, and the melodrama is so sudden that it catches people off guard. What should I do? My heart was beating hard. Su Nuannuan, you are not so useless, are you? No. You have to hold on. How many sweet words in TV novels that are more touching than this have you heard? Your immunity should be enough.
"Then I didn't know you were so tough. You could hold off nearly a hundred bandits until now with the help of a dozen monks from Pushan Temple and still have the upper hand." Duan Tingxuan knew his wife had a strong personality. If she was moved to tears by him, she wouldn't know how to vent her anger on him when she regretted it in the future. So he quickly put away the deep affection in his heart and eyes and helped her change the subject.
"These bandits are far worse than you, tut tut tut. You beat them down like a gust of wind." Su Nuannuan curled her lips and complained about the "fragile" fighting power of the Dog Slaughtering Gang.
"Are you kidding? I nearly collapsed at that time. I regained my sanity when I saw that you were okay. Otherwise, these bandits would have no chance of survival. Even so, I had to vent the rage in my chest, right? That's why I performed beyond my normal level and beat them down in just one meal. Now you know that it was because I usually let you go that a woman like you could successfully rebel several times, right? It will be good for you to be more grateful in your heart."
"Um?"
Su Nuannuan narrowed her eyes. The young marquis, who was enjoying the happiness of being a husband, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately changed his tone: "Well... I was just too worried at the time. Although these bandits are not as powerful as me, they don't have the same sympathy for you as I do. If they really want to be ruthless, it would be like a piece of cake to deal with a group of women and children like you. A dozen monks are of no use."
"It's okay. Although I am no match for them in terms of force, I am smart and decisively played a game of wits with them, which delayed you until you arrived." At this point, Su Nuannuan suddenly sighed: "Speaking of which, the prince is really kind-hearted. I have no friendship with him, but he can disregard his own safety and send you to save me. This kind of friendship is rare for the royal family."
Duan Tingxuan curled his lips and sneered: "Haha, although you didn't say a few words to the prince, your delicious food has already won him over. When he thought that without you, he might lose the opportunity to taste the tiger head and wolf head, how could he not be anxious? He would rather die than live without delicious food, so didn't he let me go and rush over as fast as he could?"
"What's Tiger Head and Wolf Head?" Su Nuannuan was confused, but she heard Duan Tingxuan proudly say, "Isn't Lion Head a dish you invented? Everyone loves it, so there's no guarantee that you won't invent Tiger Head and Wolf Head in the future. It's actually a general term for the delicacies you created, just a metaphor."
"I fainted." Su Nuannuan held her forehead and suddenly asked in confusion, "That's not right. You just said that the prince let you go because he knew it was useless to keep you and you were going crazy. How come in the blink of an eye, it became that the prince sent you to save me because of food? Duan Tingxuan, it's been less than a quarter of an hour and you've changed your confession. Do you dare to be more reliable?"
"Oh, both reasons are true. Well, Nuannuan, just understand." The young marquis coughed awkwardly, "Hmm! Well... It's already midnight, why don't we send someone back to the mansion to report the news? We can stay in the mountain temple for one night and go down the mountain and return to the mansion tomorrow morning."
Su Nuannuan naturally agreed to this arrangement. She was still concerned about the arrangements for those servants. Previously, she was almost beaten to a pulp by the young marquis's sudden words. Now that she realized that the other party had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter or killing her with one blow, her fierceness immediately returned. She grabbed Duan Tingxuan's sleeve and said, "Those servants..."
"Their feelings are pitiful, but their hearts are damnable." Duan Tingxuan said without hesitation. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his wife's face light up and said with a smile: "Since their feelings are pitiful, why not have mercy on them for once? After all, they haven't committed any heinous crimes, and God still has the virtue of mercy."
"Hey, hey, hey! You only heard the first half of the sentence, right? Did you get carried away by the second half, 'their hearts are worth killing'?" The young marquis was both angry and amused: "I'll dig out their hearts and kill them, and then let them go, okay?"
"Do you think you are creating zombies?" Su Nuannuan glared at her husband angrily, then thought for a moment and said softly with a smile: "Okay, forgive them this time, I will go back and make you sweet and sour pork. Isn't winter coming? Have you ever eaten pickled fish? Let me tell you, it's delicious..."
"Do you really think I'm a foodie who will do anything for food?" Duan Tingxuan sneered, showing that he could remain calm and wise even when faced with serious matters. Although pickled fish and sweet and sour pork sounded mouth-watering, if he continued like this, he would definitely be looked down upon by Su Nuannuan.
