In the end, Meng Lanqing still chose not to fly off the handle at Gong Juese. She rubbed the back of her head, which had been knocked and hurt, and spoke irritably, "Get up, sitting on the floor like that, what sort of image is that!"
"Okay, okay, I’ll get up, I’ll get up." Seeing that Meng Lanqing wasn’t angry with her, Gong Juese immediately got up cheerfully. As she got up, she also happily hugged one of Meng Lanqing’s arms.
Meng Lanqing, however, pulled her arm back, not allowing Gong Juese to hug her.
Gong Juese wasn’t offended and still looked at Meng Lanqing with a beaming smile, as if to say I just like you.
Meng Lanqing couldn’t be bothered with Gong Juese anymore and turned to Xiao Changyi and An Jing with a respectful fist and palm salute, "My lord, madam, I apologize for causing such a scene."
An Jing laughed and said, "It’s not a scene, it’s quite nice to see you two so loving."
Before Meng Lanqing could speak, Gong Juese nodded eagerly, "Mm-hmm, my husband and I are very affectionate. I always listen to him."
"Don’t just say everything that comes to mind!" Meng Lanqing still couldn’t help it and squeezed these words out from between his teeth.
Seeing that Meng Lanqing was losing her temper, Gong Juese put on an innocent face, blinked, and then asked, "Should I not say that?"
"Of course, you shouldn’t!" Meng Lanqing squeezed out the words through clenched teeth again. His wife, really, with her coming down from the mountains, seemed to lack any sense of shame!
Gong Juese, puzzled, asked, "Then what can I say?"
"I’ll explain in detail tonight, now just shut your mouth!" Meng Lanqing told Gong Juese to zip it.
Gong Juese, however, instinctively said, "Husband, let’s not wait until tonight. Just tell me later. Every time at night, you pass out before me because you run out of energy. How will you explain it to me then?"
An Jing: "..." My husband never runs out of energy.
In his heart, Changyi scoffed: Useless!
"Shut, your, mouth!" Meng Lanqing gritted her teeth. At last, his handsome face and ears turned red—out of anger, but also out of embarrassment.
Seeing how Meng Lanqing’s face turned from pale to flushed and even his forehead showed bulging veins, looking utterly exasperated, Gong Juese immediately covered her own mouth with both hands, preventing herself from speaking further.
Finally, Gong Juese stopped talking, and Meng Lanqing heaved a sigh of relief but didn’t know what else to say to An Jing and Xiao Changyi.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned exceptionally awkward.
An Jing laughed dryly twice before asking, "Se Se, you’re not in a hurry to get pregnant now, are you?"
Gong Juese covered her mouth with her hands and turned to look at Meng Lanqing.
Meng Lanqing’s mouth twitched, and he spoke impatiently, "Speak!"
Gong Juese then removed the hands covering her mouth and happily said to An Jing, "Mhm, mhm, mhm, I’m not in a hurry anymore. I was worried before that my husband would divorce me. Now, he probably won’t divorce me, nor will he remarry, so, of course, I’m not in a hurry."
After she finished speaking, Gong Juese covered her mouth with her hands again.
Seeing Gong Juese so obedient, Meng Lanqing found it both exasperating and amusing.
Observing Gong Juese covering her mouth again, An Jing paused and then continued, "Since you’re not in a hurry to have children, naturally, you won’t have your brother treat your belly. I guess I’ve fulfilled the task your brother entrusted to me. We have nothing else to attend to, so we’ll be leaving."
Hearing this, An Jing got up.
Xiao Changyi also stood up.
The two of them naturally held hands, fingers interlocked.
