Luo Yining didn't understand what he meant.
"That time I brought some cakes for Grandma. She told me to take them away, but you said you wanted to eat some." He said quietly, "Actually, I was listening outside. Grandma wasn't happy that you kept the cakes... You forced yourself to eat a lot, but in the end, you couldn't eat any more."
As he was speaking, he had already picked up the cloud cake and placed it next to her mouth: "Try it now?"
Luo Yining then remembered what he was talking about. At that time, she just couldn't bear it. Yining opened her mouth and ate the cloud cake. Luo Shenyuan asked her, "Is it delicious?"
Before Yining could answer, he lowered his head and kissed her again, then hugged her tightly. The sweet taste of the cake was actually wonderful, and the two of them were in a trance again. In the second round of changes, he seemed to be crazy, and Luo Yining was a little confused. He squeezed her and wanted to rub her into his bones and blood, inseparable forever. Luo Yining felt that this long process was urgent and painful, and it took a long time to end. She couldn't help but beg for mercy, but he didn't let her go.
She kept pestering him like this. She had said that she would pester him for the rest of her life! Since she had said it, she had to keep her promise. She had to be aware of this!
Luo Shenyuan was thinking a little harshly.
Anyway, in this life, even if she doesn't cling to him, he will lock her up!
His eyes were slightly red.
When the two of them finally went to the main room, it was almost noon.
Lin Hairu heard last night that the two were not getting along. This afternoon, she saw Yi Ning's unsteady steps, and she needed Luo Shenyuan's support. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Tsk, what a young man!
Luo Shenyuan sent her to Lin Hairu's place, as he had to go discuss something with Luo Chengzhang. He said goodbye to Lin Hairu and left first. He told Luo Yining: "...Don't wander around. Stay here with your mother. I'll pick you up in the evening." Luo Yining said nothing and sent him off.
Lin Hairu pulled Yi Ning, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "You have to persuade him to be more restrained, you haggard girl... He relies on the fact that you are his third brother to make you obey him. And you are a person without any opinions, and you have been doing things according to his will since you were a child."
Luo Yining felt a little embarrassed when she said this: "...Please stop talking, I know everything."
"What do you know? He's much older than you, he should understand this." Lin Hairu wanted to persuade him, but she didn't dare to speak to Luo Shenyuan. She was filled with sorrow. Then she lamented, as if she shared her suffering, "Forget it. I don't dare to refute his opinion. I'm responsible for clearing the accounts of the family farms and real estate, and he still has to review them every month. Isn't this a lack of faith in my ability?"
Luo Yining laughed when he heard this and said, "That's fine. If you find accounting annoying, just do it for me in the future. He won't dare to embarrass me."
Luo Yining heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he probably wouldn't mind anymore. Actually, what he cared about wasn't Lu Jiaxue at all, but her attitude.
He never thought of not wanting her, not even when he was most angry.
She actually felt extremely at ease during that romantic moment in the study.

Luo Shenyuan went to Luo Chengzhang's study. Luo Huaiyuan and Luo Shanyuan, the two from the main room, were also there. Luo Shenyuan went in and did not let them sit down. Instead, he drank tea himself.
Both of their faces gradually turned pale, and they didn't know what had offended Luo Shenyuan.
The two of them didn't dare to get angry at all. Just kidding, anything they did in front of Luo Shenyuan would be like showing off one's skills.
After waiting for a long time, Luo Huaiyuan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Third..." Luo Shenyuan glanced at him, and he was shocked and immediately changed his words, "Lord, my second brother has been observing the government for five years. This year, he will be sent out to serve as the magistrate of Shanyin County. However, Shanyin, that place... the place where Yanmen Pass is located, has not yet recovered its vitality. I am afraid that my second brother will not be able to make a breakthrough in the next ten years as the magistrate of Shanyin County."
"He didn't achieve much during his time as an observer, and he wasn't from the second-class class, so it's impossible for him to get a good position," Luo Shenyuan said calmly.
Luo Huaiyuan didn't understand why he was rejected. His father had been talking to him fine. He didn't dare ask more questions. Seeing Luo Shenyuan's subordinates come in, he took his brother out first.
Luo Shanyuan looked anxious: "Brother, if I really went to Shanyin..."
Luo Huaiyuan shook his head to shut him up, took out a thirty-liang silver note from his sleeve, walked up to Lin Yong who was guarding outside, and handed it to him with a smile: "Mr. Lin..."
Lin Yong pushed it away and smiled mysteriously, "Master, I can't afford your money. You need to think carefully about what exactly has offended you, and what you care about most. Master, you are a smart man. I won't say much about what is most important between the sisters-in-law in this family."
Seeing that Lin Yong refused to accept the money again, Luo Shanyuan's face darkened. When his eldest brother came over, he asked, "What on earth did you say that provoked him—"
"Why do you think so?" Luo Huaiyuan thought about Luo Shenyuan's sudden change in attitude, and then thought about Lin Yong's words, and whispered, "Go back and ask your wife first! Didn't you hear Lin Yong mention the sisters-in-law?"
Luo Shanyuan suddenly thought of the past few days, when Xiao Zhou had been constantly whispering about Luo Yining, calling her a slut and a woman with two husbands. He'd just treated it as idle chatter, but... wouldn't it have reached Luo Shenyuan's ears? He shuddered at the thought. If he'd offended Luo Shenyuan, would his future career still be a possibility?
Women are unreliable and love to gossip.
Luo Shanyuan felt furious at the thought of having to endure ten years in that Shanyin area. He strode towards home.
Xiao Zhou had just returned from her mother-in-law's house, where she had massaged her arms and legs for a long time. Her mother-in-law was partial to her daughters, but she treated the daughters-in-law as she pleased. She had slipped away to be lazy and didn't feel like serving them.
She was delighted to see her husband suddenly return. Luo Shanyuan had been staying with her for the past few days, asking her to keep the two newly-appointed concubines in check. Last night, he had been so affectionate, and now she was feeling proud. She went to greet him, "Second Young Master, you're back! What's wrong? What did Luo Shanyuan say about Shanyin?"
Seeing her face and hearing her mention Shanyin, Luo Shanyuan was furious. He raised his hand and slapped her. Xiao Zhou couldn't hold her ground and was knocked back several steps. She cried out and covered her face. She didn't understand what was going on for a long time. It was New Year's Day, and he just hit her!
Her hands trembled for a long time, and she shouted in disbelief, "Master...?"
Luo Shanyuan said coldly, "Shut up! You'll have to bring something to apologize to the Third Madam later, okay? You're gossiping and you're going to kill me, you bitch!"
Little Zhou cried and put on exquisite makeup: "Master, what did I do wrong..."
"You still say that! Did you say that Luo Yining was talking nonsense - do you think you can say that to her? You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is." Luo Shanyuan panted heavily, asked the nanny to come and choose a gift for Xiao Zhou, and took it to apologize to Luo Yining.
