Du Jian and Gui Yue spent the night together. Du Jian slept deeply because he was drunk, and Gui Yue woke up before him.
Gui Yue opened her eyes and found Du Jian still lying beside her. She felt a special sense of happiness in her heart. Then she thought of Du Jian thanking another woman's name while hugging her last night, and the sense of happiness was replaced by a sense of bitterness.
She looked at Du Jian who was sleeping soundly beside her, quietly admiring the sleeping face of the man next to her. Her fingertips stroked his forehead, then his eyes, nose, and finally stopped at Du Jian's lips.
Gui Yue was so fascinated that she couldn't help but kiss him. Only at this moment could she feel that this man was her husband, the one who would spend the rest of her life with her. How she wished this moment could last longer.
But good times are always short-lived. Suddenly, Du Jian opened his eyes and saw Gui Yue in front of him. He quickly sat up. Gui Yue did not panic and said calmly: "Husband, you are awake. You drank too much last night. You should rest for a while, otherwise you will have a headache."
Du Jian looked at Gui Yue, whose clothes were in disarray and torn clothes were scattered around the bed. His mind kept recalling the fragments of last night.
He forced himself on Gui Yue last night!
Du Jian was extremely drunk last night and didn't remember many things. The only thing he remembered was that he was sent back to his house, and someone mistook Gui Yue for Li Han, and then forced him on impulse.
Although Gui Yue was his legally married wife who was brought in in a sedan chair, he did not love Gui Yue after all. Every time this happened with Gui Yue, it was because he was drunk. When Du Jian thought of this, he felt very sorry for Gui Yue.
"sorry!"
The guilt in his heart made Du Jian apologize to Gui Yue for the first time. All of this was because of him. There was nothing wrong with Gui Yue's love for him, but he loved the wrong person, and that person was himself.
Gui Yue shook her head: "Husband and wife are one, there is no need to say sorry."
The more gentle and considerate Gui Yue was, the deeper Du Jian felt guilty. Looking at Gui Yue, Du Jian's heart felt like it was being pressed by a huge rock, and he felt a little breathless.
"I suddenly remembered that there are still some things I haven't dealt with. I'll leave first!" Du Jian ran out quickly.
Gui Yue watched Du Jian leave with a trace of sadness in her eyes. She touched the bed beside her which was gradually getting colder, and her heart also grew colder. She fell straight onto the bed, not knowing what she was thinking. Tears rolled down her eyes and wet the quilt.
After Du Jian ran out, he felt relieved. He then ordered his servants to make a nourishing soup for Gui Yue. After a while, he personally delivered it to Gui Yue.
"Yuer, thank you for yesterday. I asked the servants to make soup for you. Try it!" Du Jian walked into Guiyue's boudoir carrying the soup.
Gui Yue was very touched. This feeling was not only because this was the first time that Du Jian asked a servant to make soup for him, but also because this was the first time that Du Jian expressed concern for her. This made Gui Yue feel that the relationship between her and Du Jian had the possibility of getting better, and was slowly getting better. She was also glad that perhaps she had touched Du Jian.
Du Jiansheng poured a bowl of soup and handed it to Gui Yue. Gui Yue took the soup, picked up the spoon and took a sip. She said with emotion: "This is the first time you care about me. It's so nice."
Just when Gui Yue was feeling moved, Du Jian smiled bitterly: "I will treat you well in the future. After all, you and I are husband and wife now. I still have this friendship. Let's treat each other with respect in the future!"
Treat each other with respect?
Gui Yue was lost in thought and murmured, "Is it just a matter of treating each other with respect?"
After hearing this, Du Jian was stunned and didn't say anything. In fact, after Du Jian left Gui Yue's room this morning, he had been thinking about it for a long time, but he still couldn't treat Gui Yue like a normal couple. From now on, the best way he could think of was to treat each other with respect, and this was the only thing he could think of at the moment.
Two people without love will ultimately be unhappy even if they become husband and wife and have the blessings of the world. This is true for Gui Yue.
Gui Yue felt a little lost and lowered her head: "You still can't forget Li Han?"
"I'm sorry!" Du Jian had nothing to say. This was the only answer he could give.
Gui Yue understood and did not continue to ask questions. Although she was very unwilling, what could she do? She still could not win back Du Jian's heart.
Gui Yue had no choice but to nod and drink the soup silently. The two of them sat there awkwardly, with no common language, one feeling guilty and the other resentful.
A few days later, the emperor ordered the hunting to begin. Lu Li came to Li Han's room early that day. Juan'er originally wanted to stop him, but she remembered Li Han's previous instructions to her, asking her not to provoke Lu Li.
After Lu Li opened the door, he walked straight to Li Han's bed, pulled back the blanket, and said coldly, "The hunt is about to begin, why are you still in bed? Get up quickly."
Li Han, who was sleeping soundly, shuddered because he had no quilt. He curled up on the bed and muttered, "Lu Li, what are you doing? I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep."
Lu Li frowned. "The hunt is about to begin. Are you going or not?"
Li Han was not happy. Sleep was the most important thing in the world: "No, I want to sleep."
Lu Li's lips curled up slightly, and he pulled Li Han up like a chick, and ordered Juan'er, who was standing next to him, "Hurry up and dress your young lady!"
Li Han was about to yell at Lu Li when the system suddenly appeared in his mind.
"There's a new mission. This mission requires you to participate in the royal hunting activity with Lu Li."
"Huh? What the hell? Why should I participate? I don't hunt."
"Not being able to hunt doesn't affect your participation in hunting activities. The most important thing for you to do when you go to the hunting grounds this time is to find a way to establish a good relationship with the palace. You must let Lu Li accompany you, otherwise you won't be able to complete your mission."
Li Han was a little speechless: "Damn, why does Lu Li have to be involved in every mission? He must be brought with him to complete the mission. Can't it be done without him? Are you in cahoots with Lu Li and are you really trying to play a trick on me?"
"How is that possible? As a system, we all have dignity. We absolutely do not engage in bundled transactions. We are absolutely selfless. Don't worry!"
"Really? Why don't I believe it?"
"If you don't believe me, forget it. This is the mission anyway. You don't have to do it, but you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. As for the consequences, I don't need to say anything more, right?"
At your own risk?
Li Han rolled his eyes: "Every day you have to bear the consequences yourself. I will bear the consequences yourself. If Lu Li tortures me to death one day, I think you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Li Han was completely speechless. It seemed that he would never be able to escape the fate of being ravaged by Lu Li in this life.
