The moment Mo Yunxuan approached the pavilion, Meng Zhirou came running over and threw herself into his arms.

She wrapped both arms around his neck, hanging her entire body from Mo Yunxuan—and stayed hanging there all day!

She had had this habit since childhood, but the Previous Incarnation had not liked such behavior.

So when she was little, he would deliberately dodge her every time or stop her from hanging onto him.

But Mo Yunxuan did not mind now. After all, who could refuse a fragrant, soft, squishy little loli?

Feeling the Girl's weight in his arms, he caught the jasmine fragrance at the tip of his nose, mingled with the faint scent of ink and books. He could not help taking a deep breath.

Meng Zhirou buried her face in his chest and weakly protested, "Husband, you can't be such a pervert!"

After saying that, she raised her head and stared at him with her bright, watery eyes, as if she would burst into tears the instant he objected.

But Mo Yunxuan had only one thought in his mind: My wife is actually a legal loli who's five feet tall!

But this soft, squishy look was just too adorable!

And she seemed surprisingly well-endowed! The feel of her was incredible too!

Sensing Mo Yunxuan's increasingly heated gaze, Meng Zhirou instantly buried her little face in his chest.

She made a string of "Eee~ wuwu~" sounds.

Watching her adorable appearance, Mo Yunxuan slipped his hands beneath her legs and under her arms, lifting her in a princess carry.

Before Meng Zhirou could react, she found herself face-to-face with Mo Yunxuan.

Seeing Mo Yunxuan so close at hand, the scent of a man washed over her.

Her little head seemed to go short of oxygen. Her arms instinctively tightened, and she buried herself against Mo Yunxuan's neck.

Her warm breath brushed against Mo Yunxuan's collarbone, naturally causing certain changes that represented good physical health.

Mo Yunxuan's mouth twitched. Unfortunately, his current position did not allow him to adjust himself, so he could only change the subject and calm down.

Mo Yunxuan took a deep breath and slowly let it out, trying his best to quell the heat in his heart and make his tone more even.

"Zhirou, shouldn't you be reading at Taihua Academy right now? Why did you think of coming to the Duke Mansion?"

Mo Yunxuan knew that although Meng Zhirou liked being close to him, because the Previous Incarnation had always rejected her, she would not normally come to the Wei State Duke Mansion to find him.

Could something have happened this time? A bad feeling immediately rose in Mo Yunxuan's heart.

Meng Zhirou slightly raised her head, leaving a little space between her lips and someone's neck.

She said softly, "Zhirou heard from Sister Qianxue that Husband had come to his senses, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be true. That's wonderful!"

When she said "come to his senses," she deliberately stressed the words. Yet after finishing, she buried her face again and hugged his neck even tighter.

Mo Yunxuan gently set Meng Zhirou down on the stone bench in the pavilion. Just as he was about to let go and sit on the stone bench opposite her—

Meng Zhirou refused to release him. Her eyes instantly turned watery as she stared straight at Mo Yunxuan.

The moment Mo Yunxuan saw that look, it seemed that if he did not agree, Meng Zhirou's tears would burst through the dam the very next second.

"Ah!"

Mo Yunxuan sighed helplessly. "Fine. If you want to hug me, then hug me."

In the end, he did not sit across from her. Instead, he pressed close to Meng Zhirou and squeezed onto the same stone bench with her.

Luckily, the stone bench was large enough for two people. Otherwise, sitting with half his butt hanging in the air would have been terribly uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Meng Zhirou released the arms around Mo Yunxuan's neck.

But as her left hand lowered, it slipped through Mo Yunxuan's right arm and hooked around it tightly, as though she feared he might run away.

Mo Yunxuan sensed her little movement and felt slightly helpless, though more than that, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He could clearly feel that the Girl truly regarded him as her Husband and cherished him as the person she loved. That kind of attachment could not be faked.

Yet in her actions, she was still so cautious, terrified of doing something wrong and making him angry.

Previous Incarnation! What kind of eunuch were you, exactly? You deserved to die!

Such a milky-sweet little loli with such a contrast—you could have disliked her, fine!

But you turned her into this. What a sin!

Watching Meng Zhirou prepare to pour him tea, Mo Yunxuan reached out and pulled her onto his lap.

His hands naturally settled over her lower abdomen, holding her in place. Meng Zhirou was somewhat flustered at first.

But feeling the touch on her lower abdomen, she secretly glanced at Mo Yunxuan from the corner of her eye and continued pouring tea for him.

Yet for some reason, her body kept wriggling against Mo Yunxuan's thighs as she poured, stirring another wave of heat in his heart.

Mo Yunxuan hurriedly stopped her. "Alright, I don't want tea right now. Just let me hold you like this."

Hearing such straightforward words, Meng Zhirou's pretty face flushed. She gently set down the teapot, relaxed completely, and nestled tightly into his embrace.

Mo Yunxuan inhaled the faint fragrance from the Girl's body, his hands unconsciously roaming over her lower abdomen.

Suddenly, Mo Yunxuan seemed to feel an upward resistance—soft and tender.

Before he could carefully determine what it was, two little hands pressed his hand down onto a slender, tender thigh.

The Girl's soft, glutinous voice sounded beside his ear. "Husband, bad~"

Her voice was so quiet that he would not have heard it at all if he had not been pressed so closely against her.

But Mo Yunxuan did not push his luck and continue exploring upward.

More importantly, when he tried to pull back his suppressed hand, he found that he could not move it at all!

Meanwhile, outside the Left Wei Guard Barracks.

Jun Tianxiao arrived there with Zhao Yun.

Jun Tianxiao had not needed to come in the first place. After all, he was neither the Commander nor did he hold any military post.

But he wanted to use this appointment as an opportunity to kill a chicken and frighten the monkeys, letting the entire Left Wei Guard get to know Jun Tianxiao.

In his view, so many Protagonists in novels from his previous life would have Troublemaker Soldiers jump out to cause trouble the first time they took command of an army.

Whenever that happened, the Protagonist only needed to forcefully Decapitate and Display those Troublemaker Soldiers, then improve the treatment, and the army would submit and become theirs to command.

Since those Protagonists could do it, then so could he. It was nothing more than Carrot and Stick! What was so difficult about that?

But just as he approached the Barracks, an arrow struck precisely in front of his Warhorse, startling it into rearing high on the spot.

Caught unprepared, Jun Tianxiao was flung straight off.

Fortunately, he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He barely adjusted his posture in midair and landed safely.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, a rough voice rang out.

"Military grounds are a vital area. Idle persons are forbidden from approaching!"

Looking at the Man on the Gate Tower, whose body was covered in bulging muscles, Jun Tianxiao was delighted. Isn't this a ready-made chicken?

He then lifted his head arrogantly and said in a forceful tone, "I have come under His Majesty's decree to take command of the Left Wei Guard."

Old Qi on the Gate Tower looked at his smug expression and felt somewhat displeased.

With the Duke of Wei's order, he naturally could not do much. Besides, he might look rough, but that did not mean he was stupid.

He knew perfectly well about the relationship between Jun Tianxiao and Zhao Yun, the Commander for the coming month.

Still, it was permissible to make things difficult for them within the rules. So he shouted, "Is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, down there?"

Seeing that Old Qi had not continued making trouble and was instead asking for identification according to procedure, Jun Tianxiao's mouth twitched.
