Upon hearing her angry words, Thirteen pursed his lips tightly and avoided eye contact.
He Yue was even angrier, and became even bolder, daring to keep it from her!
"Since you won't tell me, I don't want to know. I'm going to sleep!" With that, she ignored him.
The Thirteenth Prince panicked. He wasn't afraid of her arguing or making a scene, but he was afraid of her being indifferent to him. This made him even more uneasy, so he quickly hugged her from behind: "Alright, alright, is it alright if I say so?"
He Yue snorted inwardly but remained silent.
The thirteenth prince's lips were close to her ear, his breath hot and lingering on her skin, causing a soft, ambiguous tremor.
He Yue couldn't help but complain inwardly, "She's actually learned how to seduce him!"
His face remained tense, but his body had already softened.
Thirteen noticed this and was secretly pleased. His gaze softened, and his lips curved slightly as he explained in a low voice, "It's because I'm too anxious. You see, there's still no sign of pregnancy in your belly. I'm worried that you don't want a child. Sometimes you're so indifferent. How can I not overthink it?"
He Yue froze, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took his hand from her shoulder. Turning to face him, she looked up at him intently: "Why did you say that? Why do you think I don't want children?"
Thirteen's expression darkened, and he stammered, "The imperial physician took your pulse and said you were fine, but you just haven't shown any signs of pregnancy. I was wondering if it was because you didn't want the baby that you couldn't get pregnant?"
He Yue had no idea that he had so many thoughts in private, and that they were all so nonsensical.
She thought he knew something, but it turned out she was overthinking it.
Relieved, she chuckled, "So, according to you, whether I can conceive or not is not up to me? Just because I don't want it doesn't mean I can't get pregnant!"
Thirteen's face turned bright red, and he realized he had made a mistake. However, he had some things on his mind that he couldn't express, so he changed the subject: "It's because you acted so indifferently. You didn't seem like you wanted a child at all. I thought you didn't care."
Listening to his complaining tone, He Yue pondered, was she really as indifferent as she seemed? Could it really be that her indifference was causing him to overthink things?
"These things are all about fate, what's the use of being anxious? The imperial physician said that it will come when it's meant to come."
Having learned the reason, He Yue naturally calmed down and began to comfort him.
"Is that really true?" Thirteen stared intently at her face, seemingly still doubtful, as if trying to see into her heart.
He Yue felt slightly uncomfortable under his gaze, so she coughed lightly and pretended to be displeased: "What else do you think? Why don't you try turning into a child yourself!"
Seriously, this is never going to end!
Ignoring her teasing, Thirteen suddenly raised his hand, pinched her chin, frowned, looked down at her, and asked seriously, "Heyue, do you regret marrying me?"
With a "smack!", He Yue slapped his hand away, watching him rub his hand with a wronged and resentful expression. She glared at him angrily and said, "What do I have to regret? You're talking nonsense more and more! Did you take the wrong medicine today?"
Suspicious glances swept over him.
Thirteen hugged her tightly, murmuring to himself, "I always feel that your mind is fickle and unpredictable, that I can't hold onto it. I'm afraid you'll suddenly regret it and run away. Heyue, will you leave me?"
"Hmph! Where do I go? Unless you've taken a fancy to another woman! Tell me, is it because you've taken a fancy to another woman that you're deliberately provoking me?" He Yue questioned fiercely.
"Don't you dare wrong me!" Thirteen retorted instinctively, hugging her even tighter: "I only want you, don't even think about giving me to another woman!"
"Then stop thinking about those things and focus on living your life!" He Yue warned sharply, then softened her tone: "As long as you don't fall in love with another woman, I won't leave you."
She didn't know why Thirteen had such thoughts, but she didn't want him to keep overthinking.
Thirteen nodded and grinned foolishly.
"It's getting late, let's hurry to the palace." Heyue quickly gave him a push.
Thirteen kissed her forehead, smiled, and got off the ground. Heyue had just called out "Hailan" when Thirteen interrupted her: "Heyue, how about you serve me today?"
Seeing his bright eyes staring at her expectantly, and remembering what he had just said, Heyue finally decided not to refuse again.
Since he lacks a sense of security, why not give it to him myself?
So Heyue slowly got out of bed and took the handkerchief from Hailan's hand: "Let me do it."
Hailan nodded and respectfully stepped aside.
Heyue's handkerchief was damp. Shisan bent down slightly, letting her gently wipe his face. His smile stretched almost to the back of his ears, and his eyes gazed at her clean and gentle face with burning tenderness.
After wiping herself clean, she straightened up, opened her arms, and looked down at Heyue.
Heyue glared at him with secret annoyance, feeling uncomfortable under his gaze. She reluctantly took the court robes and jackets that Chun Ya was holding up and put them on him one by one.
During this time, she wrapped her arms around his lean waist, and heard his steady, powerful heartbeat in her ear, which seemed to quicken her heartbeat as well.
Before she could even step back after she finished dressing, he quickly pulled her into his arms, his hands tightly gripping her waist.
Heyue was forced to lift her toes, and as she looked up to question him, her lips were blocked, and all her words were swallowed back down.
The thought of the maidservants in the room made Heyue's face darken instantly. This person was getting more and more shameless.
As she received his passionate kiss, her cheeks flushed slightly. She tried to push him away, but he held her even tighter. With a sigh, she could only wrap her arms around his neck.
