This little girl is interesting.
"That's all." Miss Wen lowered her head, focusing on the food in front of her.
When she looked up again with her cheeks puffed out, the man opposite her was still sitting there, looking at her with a slightly stunned expression.
Miss Wen wiped her mouth somewhat embarrassedly: "What's wrong?"
She had just turned her grief and anger into appetite, showing no regard for etiquette whatsoever.
Gu Ziyu just smiled faintly, his tone sarcastic.
"It's nothing. You have a big appetite, you won't eat me out of house and home, will you?"
He thought to himself that he had never seen Su Wanwan eat so unreservedly before.
She is always elegant and low-key, trying her best to make people ignore her presence.
When it's quiet, it's like a still painting, pleasing to the eye and impeccable.
But she is really beautiful.
How could something so stunningly beautiful be overlooked?
There's also an indescribable quality—a restrained, suppressed melancholy and vulnerability.
It inexplicably evokes a sense of heroism in people.
I want to protect her, rescue her, and set her free.
Gu Ziyu closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
He doesn't plan to keep pushing himself.
What else could he not afford to lose?
Miss Wen immediately got angry, slammed her chopsticks down on the table, and rolled her eyes:
"That depends on your ability. What kind of hero can't even support a wife?"
Gu Ziyu stood up and chuckled casually, "Then I'll hurry up and make money to support you as much as possible."
His departing figure was so dashing.
Miss Wen picked up the perfectly warm pre-Qingming Longjing tea, took a big gulp in a huff, and her pent-up anger vanished without a trace.
Gu Ziyu was much more witty and perceptive than she had imagined.
...
"My wife, bite gently," Lu Xingjian coaxed the woman in his arms.
She turned back into that biting little wildcat.
Su Wanwan slowly opened her beautiful eyes, her gaze gradually focusing.
What came into view were several teeth marks on his shoulder.
“You’re much worse than Yun Xiye; you’re not obedient at all.” His voice was terribly hoarse.
His lips lingered at her lips.
The words of reproach, spoken from his thin lips, carried an unusual intensity.
Su Wanwan blushed slightly and pulled out a crumpled, light pink silk undergarment from under the covers.
The undergarment was torn and could not be worn.
It seems like he's not wild at all.
"Let's take it easy for now and be careful about getting pregnant."
To avoid him getting jealous and causing trouble for others, she was much more enthusiastic than usual today.
Lu Xingjian has endured for so long, how could he be satisfied with just one time?
He snatched the undergarment from her hand and threw it off the bed, then playfully pinched her chin and flipped her over, pinning her down again.
"If you get pregnant, give birth to the baby."
Su Wanwan instinctively refused, placing her hands in front of his chest: "No."
"Why not?" His eyes deepened, and he looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
"We are husband and wife, having a child is what everyone wants, what's there to be afraid of?"
If the Empress gives birth to a legitimate son, the throne will have an heir.
Su Wanwan's eyes flickered. "The residual poison in my body hasn't been cleared yet, and getting pregnant now wouldn't be good for the baby."
As expected by all?
I'm afraid that's not necessarily true.
Without Zhou's care back then, it's hard to say whether Lu Xingjian would have been able to grow up.
They themselves may not even be able to protect themselves now.
Not to mention raising children.
"Then we'll wait a while, and first we'll fatten you up." Lu Xingjian said indifferently.
They had only been married a short time, and he didn't particularly want her to get pregnant, so they could still have enough to eat every day.
"Wife, call me husband."
Su Wanwan was as fragile as a kitten, with nowhere to hide.
It's just a title.
She granted his wish.
But he became even more audacious.
"Good boy, call him Xingjian brother."
...
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, the two of them were still not up.
Yesterday, the list of 349 successful candidates in the imperial examinations was posted.
Today's banquet for the successful candidates in the imperial examinations is being held at the Ministry of Rites. Lu Xingjian has no intention of showing up, but has instead ordered the Duke of Yingguo, Zhang Mao, to host the banquet.
Su Wanwan sat up, rubbing her lower back and complaining, "Being really pregnant is no joke."
Lu Xingjian looked languid as he pinned her down and kissed her for a while.
"This is nothing. If you really want to get pregnant, I'll make sure you can't get out of bed."
Su Wanwan was startled and quickly got up, afraid that he would actually do what he said.
This guy is really fierce and domineering in bed.
Once she got into the mood, no amount of begging or pleading would work.
While adjusting his belt, she casually mentioned, "Has my father's retirement petition been approved?"
Lu Xingjian put his arm around her waist and lowered his head to kiss her hair:
"No, let him stay home to recuperate; he doesn't need to attend court."
"I can't possibly neglect my father-in-law, can I?"
Su Wanwan's heart tightened, and she looked up at him with a glare: "My grandfather is old, and it's not good for his children and grandchildren not to be by his side to take care of him."
Why did you have to detain my father in the capital?
Lu Xingjian lifted her chin, asking with a half-smile, "What exactly is your Su family afraid of?"
Su Wanwan paused, then lowered her eyes and vehemently denied it.
Where?
Lu Xingjian snorted coldly.
"Others are eager to curry favor with me, wanting titles, salaries, and benefits; they wish they could bite off a piece of my flesh."
"The Su family, on the other hand, can't wait to get as far away from me as possible."
Su Wanwan paused for a moment, then raised her hand to stroke his sharply defined profile.
"You're still not happy about not taking it?"
Lu Xingjian rubbed his face against her palm: "Even if it costs me my life, I'm willing to give it."
