His statement, "You're not that important to me," was still quite hurtful.
Outside, however, came the joyful sounds of thanks from the palace servants of Kunning Palace.
"Thank you for your generous reward, Your Majesty!"
Su Wanwan's blank pupils shifted, and she sat up to look towards the door.
Lu Xingjian had already taken off his cloak and handed it to a palace maid, and then walked towards the washroom under He Ying's guidance.
He glanced in her direction, his expression blank.
Su Wanwan: ? ? ?
Is this because they feel they didn't perform well earlier, and they're coming back to continue arguing?
Her head was still spinning; the alcohol hadn't completely worn off.
He Ying fetched Lu Xingjian's clothes and handed them to Su Wanwan:
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has always forbade us to serve him closely, so I can only trouble you to bring the clothes in."
Su Wanwan's eyes flickered.
Everyone knew that He Ying was deliberately making her submit.
The emperor had already stepped down, but he returned, losing face in the process.
She has to make a statement.
Su Wanwan dawdled, and He Ying pushed and pulled her into the bathroom with her clothes in her arms.
Lu Xingjian had already taken off his clothes and sat in the bathtub filled with rose petals. When he saw her come in, his gaze shifted away, but quickly returned to her.
He looked somewhat embarrassed.
After all, it was he who had just left after making those harsh remarks.
It was him again when he turned around and came back.
Su Wanwan put her clothes aside and slowly turned to leave.
Lu Xingjian spoke up:
"Scrub my back."
Su Wanwan frowned slightly and stood still.
Out of the corner of my eye, his pale skin was faintly visible in the misty steam, making him exceptionally alluring.
His black hair, which was usually tied up on his head, was loosened and fell to his shoulders, with a few strands of wet hair hanging down in front of his forehead, softening his three-dimensional and aggressive facial features.
The atmosphere was ambiguous, yet tinged with a sense of stalemate.
He suddenly reached out and pulled.
thump!
Su Wanwan uncontrollably fell into the bathtub and into his arms.
She panicked and tried to steady herself, but instead placed her hands on his chest.
It feels warm and moist to the touch, firm yet slightly elastic, and has an excellent feel.
Her face turned red instantly.
When their eyes met, she came and quickly looked away.
Undeniably, the body before me possesses immense masculine charm.
Even after being married for so long, she not only didn't get tired of it, but became even more infatuated with it.
Food and sex are human nature.
She comforted herself.
She tried not to look at him, but her gaze fell on his chest as she looked down. She quickly looked away and asked somewhat awkwardly:
"Why... are you back again?"
Their bodies were intertwined, and she knew all too well the changes in his body.
Lu Xingjian saw all her emotional changes, and for some reason, the last bit of stubbornness in his heart suddenly disappeared.
His hand rested on her slender waist, his Adam's apple bobbing.
Her thin, peach-colored undergarment was soaked with water and clung to her body. Although she wasn't revealing anything, it was incredibly alluring.
This "female tiger" was just coldly and hurtful, but now she's both shy and alluring.
The phrase "wife, children, and a warm bed" that I had just heard rolled through my mind.
He leaned down and rested his head on her shoulder.
“My wife,” he said, his brows furrowed slightly, his voice hoarse.
"If there's a problem, we'll solve it; a family can't be separated."
Su Wanwan lowered her eyes.
It was rare for him to humble himself and seek peace.
He looked like a spoiled puppy, trying to please everyone.
He was completely different from the cold, disdainful look he had given her just moments before.
If only he had said that when she had just taken the medication to fake a miscarriage.
She remained silent for a moment before looking up at him, her voice calm and composed.
"Why did you change your mind again?"
“We’ve been either arguing or giving each other the silent treatment since we got married. We’re really not compatible, so why torture each other?”
The faint smell of alcohol on her breath brushed against his face.
At such close range, in such an ambiguous atmosphere, they're discussing breaking up.
Extremely ironic.
Lu Xingjian felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his pupils trembled slightly.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and rubbed his face against her slender, fair neck.
As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage.
"We went through so much to become husband and wife, and now we have children. It's impossible for us to separate."
"Let's stop fighting from now on and try to live together peacefully."
Is she trying to cause trouble?
He was the one who left without saying a word.
Now, looking back, he's telling us to stop making a fuss and just live a good life.
She looked down into his eyes, her tone calm:
"what ever."
Lu Xingjian's pupils contracted slightly as he slowly raised his head, staring intently at her.
She was too calm, so calm it was unsettling.
The word "simple" carries a hint of perfunctory attitude.
That feeling of helplessness and frustration from not being trusted surged back into my heart.
When two people lose trust, how can they reconcile with just a few words?
There was a moment of tension.
Su Wanwan sighed softly, wrapped her delicate arms around his neck, and kissed his lips directly.
Lu Xingjian's eyelashes trembled slightly, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.
He pushed her away and carefully examined her expression.
Su Wanwan frowned: "Didn't you say you wanted to find me?"
Their breaths mingled as she sat on his lap in a very intimate position.
However, the man, who was usually lustful, suddenly became a gentleman, which made her seem like a harlot.
Lu Xingjian's Adam's apple bobbed deeply, his voice hoarse, and he began to discuss terms:
"From now on, you can only contact me, and you are not allowed to contact anyone else."
Su Wanwan chuckled softly.
