Li Wenli kissed the eldest young lady on the cheek with a swagger, "If you’re willing, I wouldn’t mind consummating our marriage tonight, best if you’re pregnant by tomorrow. By the time Yuwen Jun comes knocking, our child would already be here, that’ll show him."
Bai Junjun kicked him wordlessly, they might meet Yuwen Jun tomorrow, could she possibly give birth to a son by then?
What nonsense is he talking, she’s not a monster.
Despite being reprimanded by the young lady, Fox didn’t get angry but just grinned sheepishly.
Just like that, the two of them finally reconciled.
When they returned to the second gate, they only saw the living room bright with lights, everyone eagerly waiting for them.
Seeing the living room full of people, they both exhaled a sigh of relief, thankful they hadn’t done anything inappropriate at the door which would have drawn this crowd to eavesdrop, that would’ve been awkward.
The two exchanged a glance and silently let go of each other’s hands as they reentered the crowd.
The crowd didn’t detect anything unusual, and like stars surrounding the moon, they encircled them, asking about the Royal Court, if they had eaten enough, if there had been any danger, and so forth.
Li Wenli took it upon himself to answer everyone.
While Bai Junjun, watching how patiently Li Wenli was responding within the crowd, felt somewhat enlightened.
She hadn’t expected to establish a relationship with Fox so suddenly.
She had never been in love before and hadn’t thought about these matters of the heart, but she felt no aversion to his advances and even felt a bit thrilled. Perhaps, this was what they call liking someone.
She had thought that Fox had never considered romance, but it turned out he was even more decisive than she was.
After all, people from The Apocalypse are used to thinking this way, upon this realization Bai Junjun smiled subtly.
Li Wenli, while addressing the questions from Little Radish Head, noticed out of the corner of his eye that the young lady had inexplicably lowered her head and smiled. He too was affected, and his lips curled into a smile.
Lady Lin was perceptive, seeing the two of them exchanging glances and sharing smiles, she instantly had a suspicion rise in her mind.
As everyone finished talking and prepared to retire to bed, Lady Lin grabbed Bai Junjun by the shoulders and winked at her.
"Oh, you two have finally made up?"
Bai Junjun turned to her squarely, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Come off it, your lips are all swollen from kissing, and yet you’re still putting on a strong front here."
"???" Bai Junjun suddenly turned, her face slowly blushing.
Lady Lin had a look of someone who had seen it all, "I don’t know what happened between you two, but in our generation, young couples kissing on the street was completely normal, and besides, you two have been in a cold war for so long, isn’t it normal for feelings to warm up around this time?"
She had no idea Lady Lin was such a relationship expert.
Lady Lin eyed her, "Of course, if you ever encounter any emotional setbacks, remember to come to me. I can be your life coach, guiding you through, and I guarantee, dealing with that cunning Fox won’t be a problem."
While Lady Lin was playing the role of a relationship guru, in the Imperial Palace, a secluded imperial garden opened for the first time in three years.
Over the years of turmoil, many palaces were left derelict due to lack of inhabitants, and Qiongfang Palace was one such place.
Even back then it was rather modest, now it merely added a touch of decay to its meagerness.
Yuwen Jun walked on the withered leaves "creaking" beneath his feet, the sound like a blunt knife slowly cutting through the heart.
At this moment, the eunuch leading the way was sweating with cold sweat on his face.
