It was still early, and Wen Nongnong was still asleep. The room was quiet, and she had no idea that the man had approached.
Gu Linchao walked to the bedside and stopped.
The gauze curtains hung low, and the person lying inside could be vaguely seen.
Gu Linchao's deep phoenix eyes were filled with doting affection.
He was about to reach out and lift the curtain, but then, remembering something, he immediately put his hand down.
He was so dirty.
In order for his mother and Xiao Yan to arrive in Xiangzhou safely, he deliberately revealed his whereabouts, attracting all the pursuers sent by the court.
So on the way back, we went through many fierce battles.
Gu Heng dispatched almost all of his elite troops, intending to kill him and prevent him from returning to Xiangzhou.
In addition, he was eager to return to Xiangzhou, so he didn't take the time to properly groom himself.
He looked down at his clothes and decided to take a bath and wash himself first, so as not to offend Nong Nong with his dirty clothes.
However, just as he turned around, a delicate hand suddenly reached out from the tent and tightly gripped his sleeve.
"Your Highness?"
Wen Nongnong rubbed her sleepy eyes, turned her head to look at the blurry figure outside the tent, and called out uncertainly.
Gu Linchao paused, turned around, and said gently, "You sleep a little longer, I'll go wash up first."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong immediately sat up, lifted the curtain, and looked at him with joy, "You're really back."
Gu Linchao suppressed the urge to reach out and touch her face, and nodded, "Mm."
"When did you get back?" Wen Nongnong asked.
"Just now." Gu Linchao looked at her with a smile.
"You came back just in time, otherwise your uncle would have come looking for you." Wen Nongnong said as she moved to the edge of the bed.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Gu Linchao asked.
"I'm not going to sleep." Wen Nongnong looked at him with great delight.
Seeing that he looked travel-worn but not injured, she felt relieved and said, "I need to relieve myself."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao knelt down and helped her put on her shoes.
Wen Nongnong's feet twitched slightly.
Gu Linchao looked up at her, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you notice that my feet have gotten bigger?" Wen Nongnong said somewhat embarrassedly.
During this time, not only did her belly grow bigger, but her feet also swelled up, and now she has to wear shoes a size larger.
Sigh, she felt she was getting uglier and uglier.
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao squeezed her foot and said, "It seems to have grown a bit."
Wen Nong Nong glared at him resentfully, "Why aren't you comforting me?" Shouldn't he be comforting her by saying that her feet haven't gotten bigger?
Gu Linchao was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "What's the big deal?"
"It affects the appearance," Wen Nongnong said discouragedly.
Gu Linchao shook his head and chuckled, "With bigger feet, you're more stable, aren't you?"
“Even if it’s smaller, I can still stand very steadily.” Wen Nongnong was about to cry.
The key point is that her feet didn't actually get bigger, they just got swollen.
"Alright, don't overthink it. It's normal for your feet to swell during pregnancy. I already asked Physician Lin about it," Gu Linchao reassured her as he put her shoes on.
Wen Nongnong pouted and stood up.
Gu Linchao also stood up, and when his gaze fell on her stomach, he was startled, "Your stomach..."
Wen Nongnong threw herself into his arms, punched his chest with her fist, and looked like she was about to cry. "My belly is so big, how am I going to give birth?"
Gu Linchao let her pound him a few times before reaching out to hold her shoulder and comforting her, "Don't scare yourself. We'll control our diet for the next few months."
Wen Nongnong said with dissatisfaction, "I didn't eat that much..." As she spoke, she rubbed her stomach, "I don't understand why I'm growing so fast."
“It’s because the child is good-looking.” Gu Linchao wanted to hug her, but he was worried about getting dirty. “Nongnong, sit down for a while. I’m dirty.”
Wen Nongnong looked him over for a while, and seeing that he wasn't dirty, she frowned and said, "You're not dirty."
"I haven't bathed for several days, and I'm very dirty," Gu Linchao said gently, as he unbuckled his belt and took off his outer robe.
"Alright, then go wash up quickly, and go see your mother later. She's been thinking about you." Wen Nongnong didn't nag him and said considerately.
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
When he went into the bathroom to take a bath, Wen Nongnong did not call Lüqiao and Granny Ding to come in and serve him. She washed up herself and changed her clothes.
By the time she finished getting ready, Gu Linchao was also ready.
Seeing the man emerge from the bathroom, still damp with sweat, she felt an irresistible urge to seduce him.
Even though he was only wearing an undergarment and his black hair was wet, he was still very handsome and captivating.
Comparing myself to my heavily pregnant state, I suddenly felt it was so unfair.
She exclaimed once again, "Why do women have to get pregnant and give birth?"
Gu Linchao held a cloth in his hand, drying his hair as he approached her.
Seeing that she was pouting and seemed unhappy, he asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wen Nongnong shook her head, then suddenly beckoned to him with her finger, saying slyly, "Lower your head."
"What's wrong?" Gu Linchao asked, puzzled, but still lowered his head as instructed.
Almost as soon as he lowered his head, the girl suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck tightly, and then gave him a big kiss on the lips.
Gu Linchao's gaze shifted, and after a moment, he whispered in her ear in a low, husky voice, "Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic?"
Wen Nong Nong snorted and suddenly bit him on the corner of his mouth.
A slight pain came over him, and Gu Linchao looked at her in astonishment.
"Who told you to get me pregnant? This is your punishment," Wen Nongnong said retaliatoryly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao was not angry at all. Instead, he affectionately rubbed her head and said, "Yes, it's my fault. Then take a few more bites." As he spoke, he moved even closer.
Looking at the man's handsome face so close to hers, Wen Nongnong's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened slightly. "Are you serious?"
"Mmm." Gu Linchao looked at her with a smile, then lowered his gaze to her pink and full lips. His heart fluttered, and he kissed her deeply.
Wen Nongnong was stunned, and for a moment, she was completely flustered.
"Nongnong...it feels so good to have her bites on me."
A moment later, the man's voice came from between their lips.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong blushed and her heart raced.
What? She clearly did it on purpose, but he made it sound so ambiguous.
Her thoughts couldn't help but drift elsewhere.
She gasped for breath, wondering if Gu Linchao was a pervert.
Considering that the Empress Dowager might be waiting, the two did not stay in the room for too long.
On the way to the courtyard where the Empress Dowager lived, Wen Nongnong told Gu Linchao about her physical condition.
"...Doctor Lin said we should be mentally prepared," she said in a heavy tone.
