Gong Juese finally understood, with an expression of sudden realization, "So you’re talking about that. But I didn’t force your brother... No, that’s not right, I did force your brother at first, but then he threatened to ruin his own face, so I released him and let him go."
"But he was drugged by my brother," Gong Juese continued, "The drug had already taken effect, and without knowing where to find a girl to vent that burning passion, he asked me if I really wanted him to be my husband. I said yes, and then he said he would marry me and even suggested we have the ceremonial bows right then. Of course, I agreed since he’s so handsome! And then, we simply performed the bows to heaven and earth in the room. After that, he said we should consummate the marriage, I agreed, and then we did just that, not only becoming husband and wife but also consummating the marriage!"
Not only was she not forced, she also exchanged wedding bows with him and became his wife...
Looking at Meng Lan Qing, still brushing the horse in her cold beauty, An Jing: "..." Meng Lan Qing, you drama queen!
Meng Zhu Qing, completely unaware of the truth, "..." Why do I feel like I’ve been tricked by my brother again?
"Jingjing," Gong Juese started joking around again, "You have to speak to my husband for me. I want to move in and live with him, but he doesn’t seem too thrilled about it."
An Jing averted her gaze and said flatly, "You’re already husband and wife, isn’t living together to be expected?"
Gong Juese said with distress, "But I don’t want to upset my husband."
An Jing disagreed, "As husband and wife, you ought to live together. Besides, aren’t you the one who’s afraid of nothing? Why would you be afraid of upsetting him?"
Gong Juese, feeling no embarrassment, chuckled, "He’s so handsome that I just want to hold him, pamper him, I don’t want him to be unhappy."
An Jing: "..." Have you and your husband got your roles reversed?
Meng Zhu Qing: "..." Brother, I finally understand why you suddenly became so cold and beautiful. It turns out someone is pampering you. Spoiled by affection!
In the end, An Jing could only call Meng Lan Qing, and she asked him, "Did you really exchange bows with her?"
Meng Lan Qing didn’t even look at Gong Juese, simply nodded coldly, "Yeah."
An Jing: "..." Proud as a peacock... But how come I never realized you were this arrogant before... Could it be that now someone pampers you and holds you up, you’ve become inflated?
But Gong Juese didn’t dislike Meng Lan Qing’s demeanor at all; on the contrary, she liked it very much. At this moment, Gong Juese was holding her face in her hands, looking at Meng Lan Qing with an infatuated expression, her face screaming ’My husband is just too handsome, how can he be this handsome, I really like him...’
Regarding Gong Juese’s fan-girl behavior, An Jing fell silent for a moment before speaking again to Meng Lan Qing, "So, she wants to come live with you, what do you think?"
"Whatever," Meng Lan Qing said, with a truly indifferent air.
An Jing: ...I feel like punching you, you know? What’s with the attitude! It’s just a wife skilled in martial arts who indulges you! You might as well not have one! Look at the bad habits you’ve gotten from all this pampering!
Meng Zhu Qing: "..." I’m feeling an itch in my hands too...
Xiao Changyi acted as though Meng Lan Qing didn’t exist, placing Su Yixing down from his arms with utmost calm and then turned to pick up his third son, An Yi Qing.
Gong Juese was extremely happy, "Husband, husband, since it’s whatever, then I’ll move in. I’m going to go back and pack my things right away. Tonight, I’ll warm the bed for you; my body heat is really strong, I guarantee you won’t feel cold at night."
