"Oh..."
The sound was soft and languid, filled with resentnt and shyness, making Li Qingmu feel his muscles tense up.
He lowered his gaze to look at the petite woman beside him. She was pouting, her lips red and glowing softly, as tempting as cherries.
Her lively big eyes darted around, looking everywhere but at him, as if guilty, avoiding sothing.
Her head drooped slightly, presenting him with a head full of black hair.
This little seductress!
Li Qingmu had been away for days, feeling like a monk practicing celibacy, and now, seeing this delectable sight, his thoughts were wandering.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Wife, I’ve been starving while running around outside. How about making a few good dishes to reward your husband tonight?"
The warm breath scattered on Long Yue’s earlobe, and instantly, that spot turned bright red.
Others might not know what he ant, but Long Yue certainly did!
Starving? As a second-rank minister, could he possibly lack food and drink? It just ans he’s been deprived of a woman’s touch, desperate for it!
As for cooking to reward him? In his eyes, she’s a dish herself!
This scumbag! That scummy aura, still unchanged!
Long Yue had almost thought this man had beco decent, and yet, ha-ha... truly, a leopard never changes its spots...
Long Yue glared at him angrily, "No way!"
Li Qingmu wore a hurt look, "Not at all... I’m starving to death, and the ga on the roadside isn’t even tasty!"
... damn!
Long Yue nearly cursed. This man dared to let anything slip from his mouth!
Ga on the roadside?
"Li Qingmu!!!"
"Yes, dear... ah, dear, I was wrong, I was just rambling, please don’t get angry, be careful of disturbing the baby, help—"
Long Yue picked up the feather duster from Ning Xiang who happened to be tidying the room.
Li Qingmu suspected Ning Xiang did this on purpose, and planned to deal with her later, but for now, he had to fend for himself.
Long Yue, like an enraged tigress, chased him as Li Qingmu yelped in pain.
Amidst the chaos in the courtyard, Cao Yin leisurely ca out to bask in the sun. Even though the sun was scorching, watching that little brat getting his couppance at the hands of his granddaughter was oddly satisfying.
This boy is just asking for it!
With a big belly, Long Yue chased Li Qingmu halfway around the courtyard. Li Qingmu finally hid behind a large tree, clutching the trunk tightly, exclaiming, "Wife, I’m wrong!"
Long Yue too felt tired, panting, she sneered, "Repeat what you said earlier, let hear it again?"
"Wife, what did I say?"
The shaless man refused to admit anything.
Long Yue tapped the feather duster lightly in her hand, chuckling charmingly, "Smart move."
Seeing that Long Yue stopped chasing him, Li Qingmu erged from behind the tree, "Yue’er, are you alright?"
He looked worriedly at her belly. Pregnant for six months, yet she could still run so deftly; indeed, a remarkable woman.
Long Yue gave him a sidelong glance, and while he was staring at her belly, she swatted the feather duster at him.
"Ow, wife, you’re bullying ..."
"Serves you right!"
This man was increasingly crossing the line.
"Uncle Mu, your wife is so fierce!"
A sudden voice ca from behind, causing Li Qingmu’s head to throb. This kid, Gouzi, had to show up now of all tis?
Was he planning to add fuel to the fire?
It was Gouzi who had just arrived. Alone and without support, he had followed Li Qingmu back.
After coming back with Li Qingmu, he had been wandering around the General Mansion, overwheld by its size, the likes of which he had never seen before, until Li Qingmu’s cries drew him over.
He then witnessed a scene too unbearable to watch.
So, having a wife ans living a hard life?
Traveling along this path, Gouzi had learned that this Uncle Mu was a formidable figure, yet this person was scolded and beaten by his wife without daring to fight back. How fearso could this wife be?
A mother tigress!
The boy’s gaze was dazed, thinking he would definitely not marry a wife in the future, to avoid misery.
"Whose child is this?"
Long Yue rubbed her belly, unusually not getting angry, curiously observing him.
The boy quickly stepped back, nervously saying, "My na is Gouzi, I’m an orphan. Don’t co near, I can run!"
Long Yue, "..."
She glared at Li Qingmu angrily, "There’s a guest at ho, why didn’t you say so?"
"Wife, you didn’t give ti to say it?"
Ha, Long Yue laughed, so it’s still her fault?
Li Qingmu was speechless, pregnant won were truly moody and difficult to please.
"So tell !"
Long Yue put away the feather duster and ushered them inside.
The two instinctively kept their distance from her.
What a troubleso man!
"A young man we t near Guyang County? Taken by those human traffickers?"
"Yes! I saw he could be useful, so I brought him along. He led us to the spot, opened the secret underground compartnt, and we rescued those children, sent them ho. He’s an orphan, with nowhere to go, so he ca along."
As Li Qingmu explained, he ntioned a key word, chanism.
This boy was skilled with chanisms.
Long Yue’s eyes glead.
If this child had a craft, he could stay and be put to use.
She threw Li Qingmu a look that said "you’re pretty good," to which he responded by gently nudging Long Yue’s dainty foot with his.
Long Yue gave him a frosty glare and stomped on his foot. This troublemaker was getting more and more audacious.
Li Qingmu winced, letting out a muffled grunt, not daring to be too loud. Having been seen by Gouzi in such a sorry state earlier, if seen making a fool of himself again, how could he discipline the lad in the future?
The elder’s dignity would be completely wiped out!
"Alright then, since you’re an orphan without a ho, you may stay here for now. Behave, and you’ll never go hungry."
Gouzi blinked, wondering if this ho was managed by the lady of the house?
Hmm, why did it feel unlike what he had seen before? In those households, wasn’t it always the man who made the decisions?
"Gouzi, when you have a wife soday, you’ll understand."
Li Qingmu muttered quietly.
Gouzi shook his head, "I think being alone is better."
Ah, seems Long Yue’s fierceness had cast a shadow on him.
"By the way, when will my master be released?"
Li Qingmu and Zhao ngran had been investigating an old case together, and now that he had returned, things had been handled. Shouldn’t his master be released too?
Thinking about him being locked up in that dark dungeon made Long Yue uncomfortable.
"Soon, the evidence and morials have been prepared. I think there might be results in a day or two."
"Alright, let soone notify my master’s wife to prepare to welco him ho."
These arrangents were left to the servants. After having Gouzi settled, Li Qingmu nestled with his young wife.
This man, handso and charming with his sweet words and srizing talents, could easily captivate any beauty or lady in the world if he wanted to.
That night, Long Yue couldn’t withstand his coaxing and, once again, this scoundrel got his way!
