Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Bai Chuxiao wanted nothing more than to punch him, and said angrily, "You bastard, it's easy for you to say, but it's not you who will feel the pain!"
Chu Tianze's expression remained unchanged as he softly said, "Who said I'm not in pain?"
Bai Chuxiao gritted her teeth, "Pain my ass! Could you be any more shameless?"
Chu Tianze raised an eyebrow, lifted the blanket on his side, and slowly unbuttoned his white undergarment.
Bai Chuxiao quickly called out, "What are you doing?" It was already noon; she couldn't afford to fool around anymore.
Chu Tianze didn't speak. His inner garment slipped down, revealing his lean and upright back. However, his once smooth back was now covered with many shocking finger marks, making Bai Chuxiao's face instantly burn. It seemed that these were indeed her handiwork.
Chu Tianze raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled, "My wife has certainly injured me badly."
Bai Chuxiao snorted coldly, "Then this young lady should at least collect some interest, right?"
Chu Tianze calmly stated, "Xiaoxiao is no longer a girl."
Bai Chuxiao could no longer hold back and directly struck out with her palm, intending to slap this shameless man down.
Chu Tianze had already sensed her movement and grabbed her wrist beforehand, restraining her hands. Bai Chuxiao was somewhat exasperated, "You bastard!"
Chu Tianze smiled faintly and remained silent. Xiao Xiao was quite adorable when she cursed, but she only ever used those two phrases over and over again…
Seeing his smug look, Bai Chuxiao gave in and was about to admit defeat, "Hurry up and put your clothes on, don't you even know what time it is?"
Chu Tianze shook his head, "No, I still need to bathe with my wife."
Bai Chuxiao blinked and didn't refuse; the sticky feeling was indeed uncomfortable.
Lanxiang and the others were quick to notice and had already prepared water. Chu Tianze simply picked up his soft wife and gently placed her into the wooden tub, then he also entered the water...
In the steaming heat, a subtle, intimate atmosphere arose between the two naked figures in the tub. Chu Tianze felt a surge of heat spread through his body, and his eyes darkened as he stared intently at the alluring woman before him.
Bai Chuxiao was somewhat wary, "You want to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Tianze lowered his head and kissed her alluring lips again. Bai Chuxiao was startled and lightly punched the man's chest a few times, trying to break free, but only received an even more passionate kiss in return. "Mmm...mmm...Chu Tianze...you beast."
Before long, reason was overwhelmed by passion and desire, and the two once again clung tightly to each other in a tender embrace...
After all that fuss, it was past noon, and the sun outside was getting even more scorching.
A steaming meal was already laid out on the table. Bai Chuxiao, dressed in a light blue dress, slowly walked out and looked at Chu Tianze, who was sitting to the side reading a book with a resentful expression. How could this guy be so elegant and composed?
Bai Chuxiao hadn't eaten since waking up, and the flush had faded, leaving her face still somewhat pale. Chu Tianze frowned slightly, feeling a pang of annoyance, and quickly went to help her sit down.
"Xiaoxiao, eat more, it's all my fault..." Chu Tianze said with a hint of heartache in his eyes, and quickly picked out some of her favorite dishes.
Bai Chuxiao glared at him, annoyed, but she was indeed hungry. Looking at the table full of food, she was quite hungry and didn't care about etiquette anymore...
After they finished their meal, Bai Chuxiao was still sore all over and didn't want to move, so she lazily nestled on the soft couch in the study to read a book, while Chu Tianze was bent over his desk working on official business.
A moment later, a scream suddenly echoed from inside the Prince of Yan's residence...
Bai Chuxiao looked at Chu Tianze in confusion. Was that Yu Fengyang's voice?
Chu Tianze calmly said, "Ignore him, Xiaoxiao should get some rest."
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the Prince of Yan's residence, Yu Fengyang was hanging upside down from a tree by an iron chain, with several arrows stuck in the ground around him.
Xia Fan, dressed in all black, Zhan Chi, Mo Yan, and Mo Wen all watched him with great interest.
Yu Fengyang roared in fury, "Are you all trying to murder me? Put me down right now!"
Xia Fan stroked his chin and spoke softly, "The Princess Consort seemed to have reminded the General to use the main entrance last time."
Yu Fengyang retorted, "Am I an outsider?" Given his relationship with Chu Tianze, he had always been able to leave the Yan Prince's residence whenever he wanted.
Mo Yan scratched his head innocently, "Now that the Prince's Mansion has a mistress, it can't be like before, where anyone who doesn't use the main gate is considered a thief, and you, Young Master Yu, are no exception."
Yu Fengyang gritted his teeth, "Outrageous! Even so, you all saw it was me, there's no need to fire arrows!" He was also a member of the Prince of Yan's household, okay? If he hadn't dodged quickly, that arrow might have really hit him.
Xia Fan crossed his arms and calmly said, "I already showed mercy, otherwise the person lying on the ground would be a corpse."
Bai Chuxiao and Chu Tianze sat calmly in the study, not really having any intention of going out to take a look. Anyway, no one would die, so why the rush?
After a long while, a disheveled Yu Fengyang angrily pushed open the study door. Looking at the two leisurely figures, he gritted his teeth and said, "You two heartless bastards, shouldn't you apologize to me?"
He's heartless himself, and the subordinates he trained are heartless too. He had to plead and beg those four expressionless men before they finally agreed to let him go.
Chu Tianze politely raised his eyelids and said indifferently, "Serves you right!"
Yu Fengyang snorted coldly, then looked at Bai Chuxiao and said, "Your Highness, what kind of freakish subordinates have you trained?"
Bai Chuxiao stood up and said with a light smile, "You were the one who insisted on trying because you were not convinced, so who can you blame?"
Chu Tianze, who was standing nearby, was displeased and quickly helped her to sit down again. "Why waste your breath on him? Sit down and don't tire yourself out."
Yu Fengyang rolled his eyes speechlessly. The princess wasn't some delicate woman. "What are you two putting on this time? Why are you acting all soft and frail today?"
Chu Tianze glared at him fiercely, "Shut up, you're disturbing Xiaoxiao."
Bai Chuxiao rubbed her forehead. Uh... she was a little tired, but not to this extent...
A look of doubt appeared in Yu Fengyang's eyes as he slowly asked, "Is the Princess pregnant?"
Then he murmured, "This shouldn't be happening, it's only been a few days."
Bai Chuxiao said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Chu Tianze stared coldly at him and slowly said, "Get...out!"
He's always running off to the newlyweds' house; he's so clueless! How did he end up making a friend like that?
Looking at the two who seemed even closer, Yu Fengyang took a while to realize what was going on, and said with an awkward smile, "Uh, you two are busy, I won't bother you any longer."
Bai Chuxiao helplessly shrugged. What on earth is all this?
After a moment of silence in the study, Bai Chuxiao suddenly spoke, "Chu Tianze, do you like children?"
Chu Tianze's expression hardened slightly, and after a long pause, he gently shook his head. "I don't like it. What about Xiaoxiao?"
As the youngest son of Emperor Wenxuan, he received very little love and care. Instead, he was bullied a lot by his so-called brothers from a young age, so he really had no interest in children.
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "That's good, I don't like it either."
