He seemed to be coaxing her.
He gently ruffled her hair.
Because of the seriousness in his tone, she suspected that he might have other intentions.
Does it mean he should give her body to him, or something else?
Su Wanwan slowly turned her face and met his eyes.
In an instant, she quickly looked away.
His eyes were filled with a deep, unyielding affection.
Hot and scalding.
They seemed like young men and women experiencing their first love and falling deeply in love.
It's unsettling.
It's fake, it must be fake.
He's already taken her body, why bother lying to her anymore?
She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, like a butterfly spreading its wings.
The man stared at her trembling pink lips and kissed her again.
They're too intimate.
My heart is beating faster and faster.
All I could hear was the sound of blood rushing through my ears, as if something was chirping.
In the pitch-black night, in this small world where the curtains are drawn low.
Stripped of all identities and shackles, only two hearts remain, throbbing and trembling for each other.
...
When Lu Xingjian got up the next day, it was still dark.
He sat quietly by the bed, gazing at Su Wanwan's sleeping profile, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
He instructed the young eunuch Meng Yue: "Don't wake her. We'll have lunch together when I return."
Meng Yue looked up in surprise, then quickly lowered his head and agreed.
After the morning court session, the emperor would go to the Imperial Study to review memorials, and after lunch he would continue to handle state affairs without even taking a break at noon.
I'm busy almost non-stop every day.
Today, the sun has risen in the west.
Su Wanwan had a rare good night's sleep.
There is no longer any suffering or endless pursuit in my dreams.
I felt refreshed when I woke up and lazily stretched.
Sexual intercourse can indeed help with sleep, if you don't stay up too late.
The outstretched hand bumped into someone.
Su Wanwan jolted awake and opened her eyes to see Lu Xingjian lying beside the bed with his eyes closed.
If it weren't for the fact that his outer robe wasn't too loose, she would have thought he had been sleeping all this time.
The man stirred, and when he opened his eyes and saw her, his face remained calm, and he did not speak.
Su Wanwan quickly sat up, her eyes darting around nervously.
I didn't know how to face him for a moment.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
After the initial passion fades, the inevitable reality of everyday life will take its toll.
I wonder if there's another Empress Xia waiting outside.
"Are you hungry?" Lu Xingjian asked gently.
Su Wanwan paused slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"fine."
"Get up and eat." Lu Xingjian glanced at her, then got up, sat up, and put on his shoes.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Su Wanwan had no choice but to slowly put on her clothes.
The two were busy with their own things, and neither of them looked at the other.
She had just finished fastening her belt when he reached out and hugged her.
Su Wanwan was startled.
Their eyes met, but Lu Xingjian turned away first, his expression somewhat serious.
Her ears were slightly red.
Su Wanwan was also quite uncomfortable.
Lu Xingjian placed her in front of the dressing table, saying, "I'll have someone come and comb your hair."
"No need." Su Wanwan quickly pressed down on his wrist.
The man's hands have smooth and powerful lines, combining a refreshing youthful feel with the composure of a mature man.
Su Wanwan blushed slightly, her voice tinged with shyness.
"I'll do it myself."
Actually, I'm a little ashamed to face others.
Lu Xingjian simply hummed in response and stood not far behind her, quietly watching her.
Su Wanwan slowly combed her jet-black hair, her gaze inadvertently meeting his in the mirror. Her heart pounded wildly, and she accidentally pulled out a few strands of hair.
After finishing her makeup, she whispered to her husband, "Is my eyebrow makeup fashionable?"
That was the marriage scenario she had always hoped for.
However, the man standing behind her at this moment was someone else's husband, not hers.
Lu Xingjian's expression remained normal, as if he felt there was nothing wrong with their interaction.
The food was already set on the dining table in the outer room.
The two sat down at the table and ate their meal quietly without saying another word.
Su Wanwan hadn't had lunch with Lu Xingjian for many years, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it.
A piece of rouge-colored goose breast appeared on the plate in front of him.
She looked up and saw Lu Xingjian putting away his chopsticks, his expression indifferent. "Try it."
Su Wanwan paused for a moment, then picked up the rouge-colored goose breast and took a small bite.
This dish is on the sweeter side, which she loved when she was little, and it's rare that he still remembers it.
Lu Xingjian smiled slightly: "I have something to do today, I won't be home for dinner."
Su Wanwan paused, holding her chopsticks, and softly hummed in agreement.
Lu Xingjian gently instructed, "I'll leave Li Rong here. Find some books to read on your own, and if you need anything, ask Li Rong."
Su Wanwan nodded.
She's so well-behaved.
Lu Xingjian's lips involuntarily curled upwards.
I took a sip of the soup; it was fresh, sweet, and fragrant, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Someone came looking for him right after he finished his meal.
Lu Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in them.
She stood up and said in a low voice, "You go to sleep first tonight, don't wait for me."
Su Wanwan's breath caught in her throat for a moment, and her body tensed up.
She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
She didn't have the appropriate status to respond to his words.
Lu Xingjian didn't hear her reply and looked over with a questioning gaze.
He was about to reach out and touch her face, but when he saw her like this, his hand, which was halfway out, stopped, slowly clenched into a fist, and then quietly put it behind his back.
