Su Wanwan thought to herself that she, as the legal wife, would never act coquettishly in front of Lu Xingjian.
Because they had no one to rely on.
And she also has to become someone's support.
Only those who are favored can be fearless.
For example, Princess Xiuyi back then, and Ma Ji now.
Ma Ji was just a lowly court lady, yet she enjoyed a level of pampering in the palace that was no less than that of a princess.
Su Wanwan was actually very envious of this favoritism.
Lu Xingjian pursed his thin lips, his face tense.
Su Wanwan wondered if his cold demeanor was due to a grudge against Ma Ji, or something else entirely.
Lu Xingjian kicked open the door, put her on the bed, and then turned to close the door.
Taking the opportunity, Su Wanwan stood up and straightened her clothes, wanting only to leave.
With a cold face, Lu Xingjian simply lifted her up onto his shoulder and put her back on the bed.
This time the action wasn't so rough; they didn't just throw her onto the bed.
Soon the clothes came off.
Su Wanwan shrank into the corner and warned coldly, "Don't do anything rash!"
Her intuition told her that there was a problem between him and Maggie.
She didn't want to become a tool for him to vent his anger.
Lu Xingjian scoffed, reached out and grabbed her ankle, pulling her over.
"If you're going to pretend to be virtuous, then do it thoroughly, please me properly, and get all the benefits you deserve."
That's a very offensive statement.
It's like she's some kind of thing.
I just wanted to get something from him.
To be honest, she has indeed been experiencing a bit of the joy of power lately since becoming empress.
But the fact that she had never actually asked him for anything made her words particularly offensive.
Even her status as empress was something he forced upon her.
His actions and tone showed absolutely no respect for her.
Su Wanwan felt utterly cold inside.
At this moment, they are not husband and wife, but two businessmen with only profit in their eyes.
It should have been a passionate and consensual affair.
It's more like a sex trade now.
Everything was so dull and uninteresting.
She was too lazy to struggle anymore, and turned her head away coldly, saying, "Hurry up."
When both parties are willing, things go smoothly.
When people don't like each other and harbor resentment, that's torture.
If you can't escape it, you can only treat it as being bitten by a dog.
Lu Xingjian paused, looking at her with dark and unfathomable eyes.
There was a moment of awkward silence.
Su Wanwan turned to look at him: "Don't want to? Then I'm leaving."
As she spoke, she tried to sit up.
But he shoved her back onto the bed with a decisive push, looking down at her and saying:
"Dream on."
...
As darkness fell, the two were lounging lazily by the hot spring pool.
Lu Xingjian's eyes were half-closed as he lifted her chin and sought her lips to kiss her.
Su Wanwan wrapped her arms around his neck, like a soft water plant.
The misty water surface was sprinkled with flower petals.
"You bad woman."
Lu Xingjian whispered in her ear.
I really want to rip your heart out and see if it's black.
Su Wanwan slowly came to her senses and looked around at the magnificent hot spring pool.
The pool was newly built; it wasn't there when she left last time.
He really does resemble a tyrant, and he's always indulging in pleasure.
After a long silence, she finally managed to speak:
“I’m not Maggie…”
How is she a bad woman?
Lu Xingjian suddenly opened his eyes, his hand gripping her slender waist tightened suddenly, and his voice turned cold:
"Isn't this over yet?"
Su Wanwan reached out and plucked the flower petals from his wet hair, gently stroking his cheek.
Even when she's angry, this face is strangely beautiful.
This loving gesture greatly comforted him.
The anger gradually subsided.
His voice softened: "I didn't touch her."
Su Wanwan was stunned.
He forgot to close his half-open mouth.
The man shrugged, as if to say, "I knew it."
"Look at you, you don't believe me at all."
Despite saying that, he still lowered his head and kissed her lips.
This silly wife is so cute.
However, he liked her attitude of occasionally teasing him.
When Su Wanwan came to her senses, she asked directly, "Do you like her?"
Lu Xingjian pinched her cheek, looked into her eyes and said, "I only like you."
These words greatly pleased Su Wanwan.
She didn't let him do whatever he wanted; instead, she pushed him to the edge of the pool, turning the tables and taking the initiative.
She cupped his face in her hands and kissed him tenderly.
Lu Xingjian smiled happily.
The sun rose in the west.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative since they got married.
He leaned close to her ear:
"Sweetie, you have your man."
A complex emotion flashed in Su Wanwan's eyes.
He had long considered himself her man.
But does she really dare to treat him as her man?
Even though he was already her husband, she dared not place too much hope in him.
Even the most basic trust is limited.
Once she regained her senses, Su Wanwan realized the seriousness of the situation.
She decided to believe him for the time being.
But was that anger directed at her a kind of inexplicable rage born of shame and embarrassment?
After all, Maggie is so beautiful, and they've been having an ambiguous relationship for a long time.
He didn't touch her, but it's impossible for him to be indifferent to her.
Perhaps in his heart, Maggie is his woman.
She was living in the palace when she suddenly became pregnant.
It's either a misdiagnosis or... she slept with another man.
How could he possibly swallow this insult?
"So what do you plan to do?" she asked softly, carefully observing his expression.
