Li Xiao turned her head and stared at the bed for a full quarter of an hour before she looked away with a red face.
Every time she looked at this big bed,
She would think of the future scene she saw of Lord Chen,
The one lying on the bed..
The cloud-like black hair,
And the blush on her face..
In that future scene,
He was looking at her,
He was looking at her intently.
And she... was so shy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
She reached out and touched her face. Sure enough, it was hot as she had expected.
Did she start to feel hot now?
She got out of bed and leaned over to the table. She gulped down two large mouthfuls of water,
She couldn't help but stand by the table, holding the cup of water as she thought of something.
When did all this happen?
When did Lord Chen start to plan?
When did he write home to ask his family to prepare for the marriage??
Her father and brother should have known long ago, but they still said mysteriously, "Let's talk in detail tomorrow." In the end, there was no chance to talk in detail,
When she opened her eyes in the morning,
She was put on the wedding robe by her arm,
She was pressed on the stool to shave and put on makeup.
Then, in a daze, he was pushed here and there by people.
She was like a marionette... when she came back to her senses, she was already here.
She didn't have a chance to say even one more word to anyone.
Of course..,
Except in the morning..,
There was a kind female elder..,
She held her hand..,
She showed her strange picture albums..,
They were all picture albums of a man and a woman together shyly.
She used a gentle voice to explain some strange words to her.
She simply couldn't understand what those words were. She only cared about looking at the picture album, and she was so shocked that she was dizzy.
..
When did Lord Chen decide to marry her?
Thinking back to the time they had spent together for nearly a year, at first, she just followed behind him. If he pointed east, she would run east, if he pointed west, she would run west.
Then, slowly, they began to deal with more and more cases together. More and more, they experienced life and death together.
He was temperamental, and she was timid.
However, gradually, he would lose his temper with her less and less. Lord Chen began to learn not to reprimand her, but to grit his teeth and endure instead.
Under his protection, she gradually regained her courage and began to raise her head with a smile. She also got along better with Lord Zhang, Big Brother Wang, and Big Brother Xu.
She even became one of them and played such a big role in solving the case.
He had gained a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Many changes occurred in daily life, and they were imperceptible.
When the world is turned upside down, you will even forget how it became like this and how it happened.
Many people's relationships deteriorated probably because small changes were often overlooked. By the time you noticed the changes, everything had already been fixed to the point where it could no longer be reversed or changed.
Li Xiao stared at the cup in his hand and suddenly felt lucky.
Fortunately, her relationship with Lord Chen was gradually improving, and not changing.
Otherwise, with her little brain, she would definitely not be able to see which behaviors indicated that they would deteriorate and which indicated that they would change.
She also did not have the ability to control her relationship with others.
She pursed her lips and recalled what she had experienced in the past ten years, even if she was locked in a cage …
Finally, she thanked her mother and brother for nurturing her optimistic personality. After so many things had happened, she still maintained such a heart and did not become desperate or dark.
Li Xiao was thinking when a pair of hands suddenly appeared on her waist.
She was so scared that she trembled and almost threw the cup in her hand.
A hand held her hand, took the cup, and placed it on the table.
Li Xiao did not know when he came in and how long he had been in there, but she did not notice.
Chen Jue hugged her tightly and held her hands. He whispered, "Why are you standing on the ground?
How long have you been standing there?
Your hands are so cold. "
Li Xiao's ears heated up. The side of her face was filled with his scent and the slight smell of alcohol.
Without waiting for her reply, Lord Chen bent down slightly, put an arm around the pit of her leg, and lifted her up in a princess carry.
Li Xiao was shocked and hurriedly hugged his neck. When she looked up, she saw his handsome face that was slightly flushed.
Chen Jue was also looking down at her. She was petite and cute, and his beautiful little wife.
Yes, his little wife.
He gently placed her on the bed and helped her take off her shoes. He could feel the coldness of the little girl's feet through her socks.
He lowered his head and stared at her socks. Then, he tugged both of them off.
Li Xiao hurriedly tried to hide, but her small feet were already in the palms of his two large hands.
His palms were warm.
"How long have you been standing on the ground?
You didn't put on more clothes. "
He looked up and reprimanded her. Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and used the heat of his palms to warm her feet.
What a small pair of feet. They were only as long as his hand.
They were smooth, white, soft, and tender.
As he held them, he couldn't help but gently stroke them.
Li Xiao was tickled by his touch. She struggled to pull her feet out of his palms.
Chen Jue resisted her forcefully. When he looked up, he saw the little girl pouting and looking at him with her eyebrows raised.
He smiled. After he let go of her hands, he patted her head with the hand that had just touched her feet. "I'm going to take a bath."
After he said that, he got up and walked behind the screen on the other side.
Li Xiao took a deep breath. She suddenly started to panic.
She could hear the sound of water behind the screen.
Hualala … Hualala …
The sound probably meant that the warm water was splashed on his shoulders by Lord Chen. It flowed down his chest and back into the bathtub again.
She had just taken a bath in the bathtub. When she was soaking in the warm water, it was the same. Splash … splash …
She thought about everything she saw in the future again. She pursed her lips, turned around, and ran to the small couch outside the room.
Thus, when Chen Jue walked out of the bathroom in his underwear, the room was empty.
There was no one in the room.
"???" Chen Jue frowned and looked around. It was empty except for the flickering red candles.
"Xiaoxiao?" He asked softly. There was no response.
If he spent his wedding night looking for a bride, he would probably become the laughing stock of the entire country.
He stood by the table and closed his eyes forcefully. He said softly, "Come out."
Why was she hiding?
Where did she go?
It couldn't be that Little Uncle had teleported to his bridal chamber and taken his bride away, right?
If that was the case, even if Min Zhao was Li Xiao's biological uncle, he wouldn't let him off!!!
It was quiet all around. There was no reaction.
Chen Jue sighed. He walked to the bed and lifted the blanket to make sure that the brat wasn't in bed.
He bent down to look under the bed to make sure that the brat wasn't hiding under the bed to eat the dust.
He turned around and looked at the bridal chamber. The room wasn't very big. Where could she have hidden?
Chen Jue was so angry that his whole body turned cold. He thought that after taking a bath, he would be able to have a good time with a soft and warm body in his arms.
He didn't expect to face such a situation at this moment.
He didn't need to bend down to see that there was no one under the small table.
After looking around, Chen Jue turned around the small door and walked to the outer room.
There was a couch here. If a maid was needed to keep watch, the maid would stay on the couch in the outer room.
Naturally, there was no maid on the couch at this moment. However, on the blanket on the bed, there were traces of several people crawling here.
"…" Chen Jue looked at the bedside table. That was where the spare blankets and pillows were placed.
The brat probably died of stupidity.
He sat on the bed with his back to the bedside table. He said in a deep voice, "Come out by yourself!
Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences. "
"…" There was only silence behind the bedside table.
"If you don't come out by the time I count to three, you don't need to see me anymore." Chen Jue's voice was very serious and fierce. No one could doubt his serious attitude.
"… … One!
Two! "Chen Jue counted very quickly. It seemed that he didn't have the patience to waste time with her.
Li Xiao hurriedly pushed open the door of the bedside table. She squatted in the bedside table and hugged her knees as she looked at him.
"… …" Chen Jue was very angry.
"Why aren't you sleeping? Why are you hiding there?" Chen Jue's tone was not good. His expression was dangerous.
"… …" Li Xiao pursed her lips and stared at him for a while. Then she said, "Sir … … you … … I saw that you were going to bully me later.
You made me cry. "
"?" Chen Jue frowned and looked at her, "I'm fine. Why would I bully you?"
"You're not wearing clothes. You … … you hit my butt!" Li Xiao accused.
。
Chen Jue wanted to immediately refute that he wouldn't hit her butt, but he suddenly remembered what day it was. He also remembered that he was already her husband and could do things to her.
As for the spanking and whatnot, it was very likely that he was carrying out his duties as a husband and gave her a spanking in passing.
This … …
His face reddened, and he became angry out of humiliation.
"You, come out!" Chen Jue angrily slapped the bed and turned his head to glare at her fiercely.
This damned girl!
"I won't!
You … … Sir, you have to promise me that you won't bully me. I'll come out. "Li Xiao was very frightened, but she still gathered her courage and insisted.
After so many years, she already understood that when Sir treated her, he was always strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
"… …" Promise not to 'bully' her?
How could he agree?
Even if he agreed now, when she understood the reason behind it in the future, she naturally wouldn't allow him to agree!
With that thought in mind, Chen Jue turned around and climbed onto the soft couch. He stretched out his long arms and forcefully dragged the little girl out.
Li Xiao was still unwilling to give up and struggled with all her strength. She had a posture that showed that she definitely wouldn't allow herself to be captured.
Chen Jue was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After what happened tonight, he was too embarrassed to let anyone else know.
No matter how close they got.
He simply couldn't afford to lose this person!
Li Xiao was sent by the enemy to punish him, right?!
He deeply doubted this.
After the little girl was finally pulled out of the bed, she curled up into a ball and squatted next to him. She stared at him with a pair of guarded eyes, as if if he dared to bully her, she would resist and scream for help.
Chen Jue really couldn't take this risk.
But he was already so angry that he couldn't say anything.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time before Chen Jue finally sighed. Why was he so angry with her?
A child who hadn't grown up yet.
His gaze swept over her body. Ai, even if she's grown up, she's still a child.
He reached out and stroked the little girl's half-dry hair. He gently kissed her forehead and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. I promise you that I won't spank your butt, okay?"
Li Xiao nodded. After thinking for a bit, she said, "But Sir made me cry."
She remembered that in his future scene, she saw herself lying on the bed with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. She looked like she was in great pain, but she was forcefully enduring it.
He must have made her feel a lot of pain!
Chen Jue opened his mouth. He wanted to tell her the reason behind this and explain that it wasn't what she thought it was.
But … … how could he open his mouth?
Did he need to do this kind of explaining and introducing work?
Did every bridegroom in the world have to face this kind of postgraduate examination?
He couldn't help but wonder if he had chosen a little girl who was especially difficult to take care of.
Even if … … she was so cute, so beautiful, so sincere and pure … …
It was really … … a sin of innocence.
Chen Jue had no choice but to pull the little girl and coax her back to the marriage bed.
After coaxing and lying, he finally fulfilled his rights and obligations as a husband.
… …..
When the night fell and the wind and rain stopped, Lord Chen was finally satisfied.
Tomorrow might be sunny, or rainy, or windy, or sunny … …
But in his heart, the warmest and most radiant little sun had already lived in.
He gently hugged the little girl in his arms, and in his heart … …
"She will become a mother in the future, the mother of his child.
"She will always be by his side in the future, looking at him softly and gently, as if he was the only one in the world.
"In the future, he can have her in bed, in the study, in the courtyard, anywhere he can go.
"In the future, they will face many sceneries in life together, many surprises, many unknowns, and many new things.
"In the future, they will slowly grow old together, but because they have each other, their hearts will be fearless.
"In the future … …" and countless other thoughts … …
In his fatigue and drunkenness, Chen Jue gradually fell asleep.
And Xiao Xiao, the little girl who came from the north and went through a lot of hardships to reach the capital, had already fallen into a deep sleep.
It was a beautiful and satisfying sleep.
Many years later, she could no longer be sure whether she had come south to the capital to find her brother, or whether she had come here to meet her Lord Chen.
The happiest … …
The most beautiful meeting.
… …..
The next morning.
When Xiao Xiao started to get to know the relatives one by one with Chen Jue and served tea, she was surprised to find that many of them didn't even know him.
He often got confused about who was the second sister-in-law and who was the eldest sister-in-law.
He didn't even know who his distant cousin was when she came to join in the fun.
The whole process of serving tea was strangely awkward. If it weren't for everyone's efforts to smooth things over, she even felt that Lord Chen might have flown into a rage at any time.
There was no other time more clearly than this moment that Li Xiao knew how lonely Lord Chen was.
And such a reclusive man, when facing her, was so wholeheartedly devoted and full of emotions.
She smiled at everyone, and her smile was so sweet.
This sweetness was only because of Lord Chen, because he was so good, because he made her realize how lucky and happy she was.
Yes!
This man who didn't care about his relatives was her husband, her husband, and the person closest to her in the future … …
The sun was especially bright today, and it seemed to echo her good mood.
There was a gentle breeze, and everything swayed gently.
When she stood beside him, his hair was blown by the wind and brushed against her cheek.
