[Ah! Ah? Ah??] Shen Mingzhu heard Xie Lang's inner voice, which was filled with exclamations.
It was hard to say. How did it feel like she was a dissipated playboy forcing a civilian girl?
Shen Mingzhu retracted her hand neatly, looked at Xie Lang and said, "Huh? What do you mean by this?"
Xie Lang never expected Shen Mingzhu to be so proactive at this moment. So his eyes were full of surprise as he looked at the person in front of him. He couldn't say a word for a moment.
Under the moonlight, Xie Lang's face was even more handsome and chiseled. But when he looked at her, he seemed a bit dazed, making him look a bit indescribably cute.
Shen Mingzhu was a bit angry at first because he didn't respond. But seeing him standing there stupidly, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Why was Xie Lang so innocent?
"Didn't you say you were the number - one playboy in the capital?" Shen Mingzhu said, with a hint of teasing in her tone. She looked at Xie Lang and said, "I caught you in a brothel on our wedding day."
Xie Lang was still in a daze, but when he heard Shen Mingzhu bring up the old matter, his scalp went numb. He came back to his senses instantly and said, "Impossible! I've kept myself pure. No dancing girls even got close to me that day!"
" Oh."
Shen Mingzhu responded indifferently and looked at him, saying, "I can tell."
Xie Lang was quite happy after clarifying the fact. But when he heard Shen Mingzhu's tone, he suddenly got excited. He propped himself up slightly with one hand and said, "Tell what?"
Shen Mingzhu didn't answer. There was a smile in her eyes as she looked at Xie Lang.
It seemed that nothing was going to happen tonight.
As soon as this thought popped up, Shen Mingzhu was about to get up. Unexpectedly, the person in front of her suddenly turned over. He propped his hands on the sides of her shoulders, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, saying, "So what if you can tell some things?"
After saying that, Xie Lang leaned over and gently bit Shen Mingzhu's earlobe before saying, "I'm exceptionally gifted."
He reached out and patiently unbuttoned her one by one.
...
When she woke up, it was almost noon.
Shen Mingzhu felt sore all over. When she turned her head, she saw Xie Lang sitting at the small table in front of the bed, smiling at her.
She was so hungry.
Shen Mingzhu struggled to get up.
Seeing this, Xie Lang quickly put down the book in his hand, then walked a few steps to Shen Mingzhu and helped her up. He knelt on one knee beside the bed and watched her roll her eyes at him.
[Tsk, Shen Mingzhu always teases me.]
Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth. Before she could say a word, she heard Xie Lang say, "Hungry? Have something to eat in the room first."
After saying that, he shouted outside, "Chun Tao, the princess is hungry."
Shen Mingzhu bit her lip and propped herself up to stand up. She said to Xie Lang, "I'm not bed - ridden. I don't need this."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Mingzhu saw that the underwear she was wearing was not the one from last night.
The memories came back. The heat gradually climbed up along her ears. In a short while, Shen Mingzhu felt that her face was so red that she couldn't show herself to anyone. So she sat back on the bed and covered her face with the quilt.
"Don't let Chun Tao come in. You go and get something."
A muffled voice came. Xie Lang almost burst out laughing. Afraid that Shen Mingzhu would get angry, he coughed and cleared his throat, saying, "Cough, okay."
Only when Shen Mingzhu saw Xie Lang turn around and leave did she breathe a sigh of relief. She quickly walked to the table and took a sip of tea.
But when she looked, it was obvious that the cup was Xie Lang's. In an instant, the heat that had just subsided climbed back onto her face.
After eating the meal in silence, Shen Mingzhu finally regained her senses. She regarded her previous awkwardness as being due to not having enough to eat, so her mind was a bit unclear. So she pretended to be calm and said to Xie Lang, "I'll go and see Chen Yun first. If you have something to do, go and deal with it."
" Oh."
Xie Lang responded and looked at Shen Mingzhu, saying, "But I'm your husband. It's better for me to follow you, isn't it?"
Shen Mingzhu was silent for a moment and said to Xie Lang, "No need. Only my guards follow me every day."
"Really?"
Xie Lang didn't know what was wrong with him today. He just wanted to tease Shen Mingzhu. Hearing this, he replied, "Then I'll be your guard."
"Anyway, my martial arts skills are no worse than your guards'. You can't find a guard with my skills for the same amount of silver."
Shen Mingzhu: "..."
The guard beside: "..." What's wrong with the husband - in - law today! He's so much like a peacock showing off its feathers!
Seeing Xie Lang showing off like this, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but grit her teeth. She stepped forward, lowered her voice and asked, "Do you have nothing to do today?"
"Yes."
Xie Lang said and couldn't help laughing. He said to Shen Mingzhu, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Go and do your work."
He was really teasing her!
Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth secretly. Before she could think of a comeback, she heard Xie Lang chuckle and say to her, "Come back early."
"Okay."
All her words disappeared instantly. Hearing this, she didn't know what to say. So she nodded and left in a hurry.
When she arrived at the courtyard where Chen Yun lived, Shen Mingzhu finally came to her senses completely. She stood at the door, took a deep breath, then knocked on the door herself and said to the people inside, "Yun Yun, it's this princess."
"Coming!"
Chen Yun was taking a walk in the yard. Hearing this, she quickly said to the little maid, "Go and open the door quickly."
When Shen Mingzhu opened the door and saw Chen Yun walking towards her, she quickly said, "You're pregnant. Why did you come out?"
Seeing the sincere concern in Shen Mingzhu's eyes, Chen Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm just pregnant, not sick."
"The imperial physician you sent yesterday said that I can get up and walk around from time to time. Sitting all the time is not good for the baby in my belly."
Chen Yun couldn't help reaching out and stroking her belly. Feeling the slight curve, she couldn't help curling her lips.
"That's good."
Shen Mingzhu let out a sigh of relief and walked slowly in the yard with Chen Yun.
Seeing Shen Mingzhu accompanying her, Chen Yun couldn't help laughing softly and said, "You go and do your business quickly. I'm fine here. I'm very grateful that you can give me a place to stay."
Suddenly, Shen Mingzhu found the feeling that Xie Lang had when she said thank you to him yesterday. So she couldn't help pursing her lips and saying to Chen Yun, "Don't say that. It makes me uncomfortable."
"If you don't want to go back, you can stay here with me. Anyway, no one dares to say anything."
Hearing Shen Mingzhu's rare childish words, Chen Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you talking about? At most in three or five days, I'll have to..."
Go back to the Li family.
Chen Yun couldn't say these words. Subconsciously, she felt a bit of resistance in her heart.
Silence.
Before Chen Yun could continue speaking, a little maid out of breath appeared at the door and said, "Princess, there's someone at the door asking to see you. He says he's Miss Chen Yun's husband."
Just as she finished speaking, another little maid spoke up, looking panicked. "Princess, the people at the door are fighting!"
What's going on?
