Volume One, Chapter 457
Zhao Fu had no choice but to make a little sacrifice.
Under a night sky blanketed with stars, the evening breeze blew gently, making the green bamboo in the courtyard sway softly with a rustling whisper, accompanied by some strange sounds.
Ximen Luoli shot Zhao Fu a glare in the courtyard ahead, then turned and returned to her room.
Thinking of what had just happened, Ximen Luoli felt restless as well. She lay down, intending to sleep, but the scene kept surfacing in her mind.
Ximen Luoli blushed.

Zhao Fu looked at Ximen Luoli in his arms. "Wouldn't it be fine if I went back later?"
Ximen Luoli said angrily, "I knew you were up to no good. You opposed it so strongly when I said I'd place a restriction in your body—you're nothing but a playboy. My poor two daughters were actually deceived by you."
Zhao Fu said with a smile, "Don't say that. I'm sincere toward them, and I won't let them down. Of course, I won't let you down either."
Ximen Luoli's expression softened, and she felt somewhat happy inside. She said softly, "Hurry back. I don't want my two daughters to find out about this."
Zhao Fu nodded with a smile. "Then shall we meet again tomorrow night?"
Ximen Luoli's face flushed, but she still nodded.
Zhao Fu made some more arduous sacrifices over the next few days
