She didn't know why she said such a thing.

But for some reason, she felt flustered and didn't want Chu Ning to leave so quickly...

At least... stay with her.

After all, she was carrying Chu Ning's child, and if she couldn't sleep well, wouldn't the baby suffer too?

Can't you, as the father of the child, be a little more shameless?

As for the undergarment... it was because she wasn't paying attention, so she'd just pretend he didn't see it. Anyway, she was wrapped in a blanket now, and Chu Ning couldn't see it...

Moreover, she also felt a strange emotion, probably influenced by Chu Ning.

Perhaps, between husband and wife, there didn't need to be so much taboo, but it was impossible for him to lay a hand on her...

It was all Chu Ning's influence!

Under the dim yellow lamplight, Chu Ning smiled and sat back on the bed. Looking at Ye Qinglian, who was wrapped up like a caterpillar, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Do you have to be so afraid of me? Didn't we agree that you're a great cultivator with Void Breaking cultivation? You don't have the demeanor of a great cultivator at all!"

Ye Qinglian glared at Chu Ning, displeased. "If your cultivation was high, I would have already chopped you up. I could have killed you with a casual sword strike!"

"I mean, if I were to make a move, it would be like chopping vegetables, do you understand!"

"At least reach out and hold my hand or something..."

"You wish. Did I say you could hold it just because you wanted to? What do you think this is, something you can do just because you want to?"

She pouted and turned to look at the beam above.

"It's good that you're not dead, at least I have someone to cook for me. You may not have any other strengths, but you cook quite well..."

Chu Ning chuckled and leaned closer, half his body almost on the bed. Ye Qinglian frowned and nudged him outwards, wanting to push Chu Ning away. She didn't say anything, but her actions spoke volumes.

You scoundrel, what do you want!

Ye Qinglian's appearance was quite amusing, making Chu Ning feel a surge of affection.

His wife actually had such a cute side. This is interesting. It's really true that arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time...

"Let's talk business then."

"What business is there to talk about? Haven't you already dealt with today's memorials?"

Ye Qinglian looked at him in confusion, a little puzzled.

Chu Ning smiled.

"Didn't you just say you wanted me to move in? Are you serious?"

Ye Qinglian snorted.

"A king's word is his bond. It's nothing more than to protect your safety. After all, your cultivation is so low, and you don't even cultivate seriously. What can I do?"

"Otherwise, you could live with Elder Fang, but he probably wouldn't think much of you."

Chu Ning remembered Fang Houren, who never gave him a good look. His demeanor, from beginning to end, was either looking down on him or wanting to kill him. Every pore of his being seemed to be telling Chu Ning:

How dare you snatch our precious cabbage!

"Forget it then. It's good to be with you."

Ye Qinglian twitched the corner of her mouth and corrected him, "I mean living in the room next door, not living with me. Don't get it wrong!"

Chu Ning grinned.

"Then what if I can't sleep at night and sneak into your bed..."

A long sword suddenly appeared above Chu Ning's head.

Ye Qinglian looked at Chu Ning with a cold smile.

"You can try."

It was like the Sword of Damocles...

Chu Ning sighed helplessly.

"So you mean I have to move back after the Grand Wedding? That's not fair. We're husband and wife after all..."

"Don't get it wrong. You are just the father of the child, not my husband. I have not acknowledged you, a Mortal who can't even lift a chicken!"

Her whole body was soft, only her mouth was hard.

She ate very quickly during meals, and only at those times would she brace herself and praise him.

However, Chu Ning, who had long figured out Ye Qinglian's personality, just smiled and looked at the woman.

"Alright, alright, Your Majesty has not acknowledged me yet. Then how will Your Majesty acknowledge me? At least give me some conditions?"

Ye Qinglian glanced at Chu Ning and pondered for a moment.

"You just need to know that it's impossible. After this child is born, you can just stay in the harem and take care of the baby. Leave the affairs of the world to me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ning's hand suddenly reached out and pinched Ye Qinglian's cheek.

The latter froze for a moment, then glared at him angrily.

Chu Ning pinched again.

"The feel is quite good, can I have a kiss?"

Ye Qinglian's gaze shifted from anger to cold elegance.

"What do you think?"

"Not refusing means agreeing?"

Just as Ye Qinglian was about to curse Chu Ning for his wishful thinking, his face suddenly leaned in.

Ye Qinglian was startled and hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late!

What was going on!

Why did she forget to use her cultivation!

Pop.

The woman's face instantly flushed red, and she controlled the long sword to point at Chu Ning's neck!

"Chu Ning! What are you doing!"

"I told you to keep me company, not to kiss me!"

Even if it wasn't her lips but her cheek, in such an ambiguous situation, how could she ignore it!

That hateful dog man!

"If you dare to move again, I will surely kill you!"

Chu Ning was not afraid at all, and instead looked confused.

"You didn't refuse either. If you don't refuse, it means you agree. Next time you just refuse, and I definitely won't do this."

Ye Qinglian pursed her lips, gritting her teeth.

"You are truly shameless. Why would I get involved with such a shameless man like you!"

"If a man isn't bad, women won't love him."

"You're still justifying yourself, acting all righteous!"

"My own wife, of course I'm righteous."

"I told you, I'm not! It's just nominal!"

"But I took it seriously."

Ye Qinglian: "..."

So annoying!

This sudden sneak attack had flustered her so much that she didn't even have time to use her cultivation, and she didn't dare to.

She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would actually kill Chu Ning.

"At least give me a hand to hold, otherwise it's unreasonable for me to stay up with you all night without sleeping and get no reward at all..."

Ye Qinglian was silent for a moment, then extended a hand from under the covers.

"You are not allowed to misbehave, otherwise you will..."

"I know, you'll kill me. That's for sure."

He took her small hand again, fingers intertwined and clasped tightly. Looking at the woman in front of him again, her face was already flushed red.

Has my brain gone bad? Why did I agree to him...

I could have slapped him away and stopped him from being so presumptuous.

She couldn't help but mutter, her expression gradually calming down. Reflecting on everything that had happened recently, she felt that her life had changed a lot.

Whether it was the child in her belly or Chu Ning by her side, they had brought too many changes to her, making her unable to cope at times, and not knowing what to do.

But as long as she knew that the man beside her wasn't that bad, that he was passable, and that he was truly caring about her, then that was enough.

Anyway, they would be husband and wife in the future. Even if Chu Ning died one day, he would be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and they would sleep together even in death.

Was giving him her hand to hold too much to ask...

Tch, this dog man is so boring, staring at me again.

"Stop looking. I'm going to sleep. Before I sleep, you are not allowed to leave."

"Are you that afraid?"

Ye Qinglian remained silent, not answering.

That dream was too real, so real that she didn't even feel like she was dreaming, it was as if it were true.

Only when Chu Ning was by her side did she feel a little bit of peace.

Now, the Dynasty was doing well in all aspects. It was good enough if the people around her didn't have any accidents and were just fine.
