They were childhood friends, and family who would entrust their lives to each other.
If it weren't for her unwavering and meticulous care, he would have been poisoned to death when he was only thirteen.
If it weren't for her sincere companionship and constant comfort, he wouldn't have had the courage to stand up again and continue to feign politeness with the Emperor and Empress.
In this palace where kinship is weak and scheming is rampant.
Even the closest of family members cannot be at odds with each other.
Only Wanwan, with her tender hands, clear eyes, and sincere heart, warmed his life and illuminated his future.
How could he live without her?
Those years may have seemed like a period of estrangement, but she was actually protecting him in another way.
He was filled with shame.
He was clearly a year older than her.
He was clearly the crown prince, of noble birth, yet he still needed the protection of a frail young girl.
He needs to grow up quickly.
One day, he will be able to stand on his own and protect his great-grandmother and her under his wing.
Now, he is indeed protecting her under his wing.
But you can see her looking so incredibly vulnerable yet pretending to be strong.
He felt that he had treated her too badly.
Su Wanwan removed all his armor and then his undergarments, carefully checking for any injuries.
Elsewhere is fine.
He had a large bruise on his chest, right in front of his heart.
It is clear that the other party was determined to kill him.
What did he go through?
Su Wanwan's throat tightened.
My fingers trembled so badly that I dared not touch it at all.
She couldn't hold on any longer.
Her sobs were tinged with reproach.
Where did you go?
"How did you get injured again?"
"Even for my sake, please don't take any more risks in the future, okay?"
Lu Xingjian stretched out his slender fingers and gently wiped away her tears, but a strange soreness welled up in his heart.
That silly wife.
The constant complaining is awful.
But he really liked it.
The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl upwards.
"Are you so worried about something happening to your man?"
"Who said that?"
Seeing that he could still laugh, Su Wanwan sniffed and glared at him fiercely.
"If you die, I'll find ten or eight male lovers and forget you completely, I won't miss you even a little bit!"
Lu Xingjian's originally sharp eyebrows turned cold.
Seeing that her eyes were red and brimming with tears, threatening to fall, she couldn't bear to say anything more, and instead gently comforted her:
"It's alright."
He grabbed her small hand and pressed it against the bruise: "Feel it, it's not that serious."
Su Wanwan pulled her hand back, not daring to touch his injury at all, for fear of aggravating it.
Lu Xingjian spoke the harshest words in the gentlest voice.
"You've given up on the idea of finding a gigolo."
"In this lifetime, your man can only be me."
"Don't even think about it if it's anyone else."
Su Wanwan wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned softly against his chest.
"I don't want anyone else, I only want you."
"If you're okay, I won't look for you."
have to.
Even if he dies, she will still search for him.
That heartless person.
Lu Xingjian scoffed in anger.
"I have to outlive you so you won't have that chance."
"Mmm," Su Wanwan responded softly.
Many years later, Lu Xingjian could never forget this seemingly ordinary night.
He had expected it to be a wonderful reunion, a reunion that felt like a long-awaited reunion.
His wife, however, cried her heart out, nestled softly in his arms, unwilling to leave.
They even forbade him to take a bath or have sex, for fear of aggravating his injuries.
...
The next morning, when she woke up, he still took advantage of her while she was still asleep and forced himself on her.
He lay on top of her, too lazy to move.
She simply hugged him, pulled off her undergarment, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He reached out and covered her eyes.
"My wife, don't look at me like that."
"It makes people want to die on you."
"Pah, don't say things like 'die' or 'live'." Su Wanwan didn't want to let him indulge her and changed the subject.
"The memorials in the study are almost piled up like a mountain."
"Then you have to stay with me." Lu Xingjian gave her a quick, irritating kiss on the neck.
He looked fierce, as if he would bite her neck off if she didn't agree.
She's so clingy.
Su Wanwan thought.
"good."
She readily agreed.
He paused, then added, "You go first, I'll cook for you myself in a bit."
Lu Xingjian's pupils trembled.
He buried his face in her chest and after a long while said, "Then you better cook it well. I won't eat it if it's not tasty."
Su Wanwan frowned.
She has absolutely no confidence in her cooking skills.
However, with the help of the servants, she could only muster up the courage to give it a try.
"I...will try my best."
Lu Xingjian was taken aback by her hesitant words. He kissed her forehead and said, "I like whatever my wife does, so don't worry."
"You said it yourself, so don't laugh at me later." Su Wanwan told him to lower his expectations in advance.
"I won't laugh at you." Lu Xingjian was extremely well-behaved at this moment.
Like a puppy being stroked gently, he nestled obediently in her arms.
The two of them were stuck together so tightly that they looked like two sugar figurines stuck together.
"I just like it when you revolve around me. Once I have enough power, I'll spend every day with you and never be apart again."
Su Wanwan wondered, what does it mean to have enough power?
That's definitely not the case now.
...
Lu Xingjian skipped breakfast and went straight to his study to wait for the meal Su Wanwan had prepared.
Su Wanwan had no choice but to quickly cook a few home-style dishes, steam rice, and make a four-dish-and-one-soup meal to send over.
