The couple gazed at each other with deep affection in their eyes, both filled with love for one another.
Even though they were together every day, it still wasn't enough.
It seemed that they only had eyes for each other.
He didn't even hear his daughter calling.
When Gu Yaoyao realized that no one was paying attention to her, she suddenly burst into tears.
The two finally composed themselves and looked down at her.
Seeing her daughter crying so heartbrokenly, Wen Nong Nong leaned down to kiss her, but unexpectedly Gu Lin Chao also lowered his head at the same time.
With a "thud," their heads collided.
Gu Yaoyao stared blankly at her parents with her beautiful eyes, then suddenly burst out laughing as if she realized something.
Wen Nongnong rubbed her forehead, utterly captivated by her daughter's adorable mix of crying and laughing.
"Little girl, your mother's head hurts from being bumped by your father, and you're still laughing?" She reached out and gently pinched the chubby cheeks of her daughter.
Gu Yaoyao instinctively grabbed her finger and was about to put it in her mouth when Wen Nongnong quickly pulled her hand back. Then she took the opportunity to lecture her, "Your hands are dirty, you can't put them in your mouth, or you'll get diarrhea, you know?"
Gu Yaoyao looked at her as if she understood but not quite. However, she was in the teething stage and her teeth were itchy. After a while, she wanted to put her hand in her mouth again.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong quickly fetched her toys, trying to distract her.
Fortunately, the toys were more attractive to her, and she quickly focused her attention on them, so she stopped trying to suck her fingers.
Compared to his daughter's mischievousness, his son was very well-behaved and easy to manage.
It only made a babbling sound when it saw its mother turn and leave.
Wen Nongnong heard this, turned around and waved to him, "Xiao Jin, be good at home, Mother will be back soon."
When the two children saw her leave, they pouted as if they wanted to cry, but Gu Linchao said something to them and their attention was drawn away.
Gu Linchao instructed Si Luo to take men to follow and protect them before carrying the two children to the study.
Granny Ding quickly followed to help.
Moved by what Gu Linchao said, Madam Xu took her grandson and took care of him herself, urging Lu Yingying to come and play as well.
Lu Yingying hadn't originally planned to go out, since the child couldn't be separated from her, but Gu Linchao's words touched her deeply.
It seems that after getting married and having children, she gradually lost herself.
Even though she has people around who can help take care of the child, she insists on doing everything herself, devoting herself entirely to the child and often exhausting herself.
The child is important, but she shouldn't have acted this way. When it's time to let go, she should let go and give herself some breathing room.
So as soon as Wen Nong Nong and the others left the palace, she caught up with them.
"Nongnong, wait for me."
"Sister-in-law?" Wen Nongnong looked at her in surprise, then, as if remembering something, she teased, "Sister-in-law, are you willing to let go of Yan'er?"
Lu Yingying took her hand and said with a relaxed expression, "I should be willing to part with it. With Mother here, I should be at ease." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at her and suddenly said sincerely, "The Emperor is really good."
The Emperor himself is extremely busy with state affairs, yet he still manages to consider Nong Nong's needs amidst his hectic schedule. Such a man is truly unparalleled.
It has nothing to do with appearance, wealth, or power; it's that he genuinely cares for his wife, which is truly rare.
There are very few men in this world who can do that.
In fact, not only Lu Yingying was deeply moved, but Si Lan and the others were also deeply shaken, and even Chen Lingsu had many feelings.
In her opinion, it was already very rare for her stepfather to accept her mother's status as a second-time bride, but she never expected that the emperor would be even more so.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very silent.
Wen Nongnong looked at the group with amusement, "What are you all doing? Why are you all so quiet?"
This time, Chen Lingsu spoke first, "Empress, seeing how the Emperor treated you today has made me even more determined that I cannot easily marry someone."
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, and immediately felt a little amused and exasperated. "What are you saying, girl? If someone who doesn't know the situation heard you say that, they would think that the Emperor has done something to me, making you afraid to get married."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lingsu smiled somewhat embarrassedly and explained, "What I mean is, although it's hard to find another person as good as the Emperor in this world, he showed me that a man should be as responsible, magnanimous, tolerant, and considerate towards his wife and children as he is. When I get married in the future, I also want to find someone as good as him."
She rarely spoke such a long sentence in one breath, but today she was a little excited, so she couldn't help but boldly say what was on her mind.
Wen Nongnong patted her head and said encouragingly, "You're right. When it comes to your other half, you shouldn't settle. If it's not good, you absolutely shouldn't choose them."
"Yes." Chen Lingsu nodded emphatically.
Si Lan remained silent, because she too was deeply moved.
The Emperor's character made her realize how terrible a person she had once loved, and at the same time, it lessened her fear and uncertainty about the future.
When it comes to marriage, one should marry someone of good character, like the emperor.
Lu Yingying also seemed to be deep in thought.
Seeing everyone looking deeply moved, Su Qianqian glanced at the half-eaten pastry in her hand and suddenly felt it had lost its flavor. Frustrated, she pinched the fat on her waist and said dejectedly, "I have so much fat on me, when will I ever lose it?"
Everyone said in unison, "You can eat less."
Su Qianqian: "..."
She looked at the pastry in her hand and suddenly felt like it was a hot potato. She turned her head to look at it, intending to throw it away, but then she suddenly saw Si Luo following behind her and was stunned.
When Si Luo looked over, she suddenly blushed without realizing it.
Realizing what had happened, she put the pastry back into her mouth.
But he accidentally choked and immediately started coughing violently.
Si Lan was startled and quickly reached out to pat her back.
"Why did you suddenly choke?"
Just as she was about to ask if anyone had water, her brother suddenly came up from behind and handed her a water bag.
Si Lan quickly reached out and took it, unscrewed the stopper, and fed it to Su Qianqian's mouth.
Su Qianqian coughed until her face turned red, but the crumbs of pastry seemed to be stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.
So when Si Lanshui handed it to her, she didn't even think about it and gulped down a big mouthful.
After finally catching her breath, she looked up and saw Si Luo standing in front of her. She blinked and then realized that he had witnessed her embarrassing moment. Feeling both ashamed and anxious, her face flushed red.
Why does he always have to see her when she's in a bad state?
At this point, she hadn't realized why she cared so much about being seen by him.
After shoving the water pouch back into Si Lan's hand, she hurriedly ran ahead.
