n't for living her life again, Xiao Yu Ge would almost have believed her."I believe my older sister. There are still some days before the Lotus Flower Banquet, Sister can take this opportunity to prac..."What else can we do That's a child, a living person. Where will I get another one when the time comes" Xiao Yuge said with a worried face.

"I said, let's just make one that is real. Doesn't Xiao Ge believe in my abilities" Qian Tingxuan got closer to her, his hand on her waist becoming increasingly unfaithful.

"I believe it." Xiao Yuge grabbed his hand, which was randomly groping, her face flushed red all of a sudden: What was this guy trying to do

“I think you don’t believe...” Qian Tingxuan felt he should prove himself: “Did Xiaoge also believe those rumors and think that this king is not capable”

"Of course not!" Xiao Yu Ge tried to push him away, but his hands were like octopus tentacles, clinging to her body, making her whole body hair stand on end. "I never said that!" Come on, was he serious She knew what he was trying to do!

"You said it, and you made everyone think I wasn't good enough. So, I feel the need to prove myself!" Qian Tingxuan's eyes flickered with long-suppressed desire, his earlobes tingling with a pleasant numbness as he gently nibbled them, his voice a low murmur in his throat: "Xiaoger, it's time we consummate our marriage..."

Whispers fell like layers of delicate spun sugar, coating her slightly warm earlobes, transforming into an irresistible sweetness. She seemed to hear the rustling wind outside and a heartbeat that she couldn't tell if it was hers or someone else's....

"Qian Tingxuan, wake up a little! This is on the carriage!" Xiao Yuge suddenly came back to her senses and pulled his ears open, but she was surprised that his ears were hotter than hers. She couldn't help but be afraid: Could this guy really want her to have his child

"Scared" Seeing the flicker of panic in her eyes, Qian Tingxuan felt a pang of disappointment. He shook his head and chuckled softly, reaching out to lightly scratch her jaw and cheek with his fingertips, an unspoken allure swirling between them: Was she not ready yet He couldn't bear it any longer; he felt himself nearing his limit.

"You said you wouldn't force me," Xiao Yuge stammered, but dared not move, fearing that any action might provoke him into even more frenzied behavior. The bravado she had just displayed crumbled in an instant.

Qian Tingxuan tightened his grip on her waist once more, pulling her closer to him suddenly: "Xiao Ge'er, if that day's wedding hadn't been interrupted, we would have already been celebrating our honeymoon. Could it be that you really want me to live alone in an empty room" She suddenly felt that the interruption of that wedding wasn't necessarily a bad thing; at least she wasn't truly ready.

"I..." Xiao Yuge was at a loss for words. That day, she had been suddenly pulled to be the bride. Even when she got into the bridal sedan, she was still in a daze and hadn't really thought about it that much.

"Little songbird, you little rascal, what am I going to do with you" He held her close, whispering against her neck. He didn't want to force her, but he yearned for the day their souls would merge. But when would this little thing accept him

He knew there was a knot in her heart that she couldn't unravel, the one tied to her dream. He didn't know how deeply she had been wounded in that dream, causing her to back down again and again at the last moment.

"I'm not pregnant. How could that Dr. Li also follow you..." Xiao Yuge suddenly thought of something: "Telepathy! You threatened him Did you arrange everything beforehand"

She should have thought of it earlier. He was so calm and collected back then, he must have been confident, he's amazing, he actually knew what would happen!

"How is it, is my husband impressive" Qian Tingxuan didn't hide it from her, after all, his identity wouldn't be hidden for long in the future.

"Amazing! You're incredible!" Xiao Yu sang, her eyes filled with admiration. "What else is there that I don't know about you"

Qian Tingxuan's eyes flickered slightly as he probed, "What if I had other identities Would you accept me Perhaps you would be afraid"

Xiao Yu ge blurted out: "As long as you're not the terrifying master of Leiting Pavilion, I can accept whatever your identity is and won't be afraid!"

Qianting Xuan was slightly taken aback: "Xia Ge'er, why are you so afraid of the master of Lei Ting Pavilion Do you know him"

“I don’t know him, but I’ve heard stories. Such cruel and ruthless methods, who wouldn’t be afraid of someone like that Besides, I also heard people say that he has a green face and fangs, and is bloodthirsty by nature. Someone like that is simply terrifying!” Recalling the scene where Qin Zhendao was dismembered in public at Hongxiushan Villa, she couldn't help but have nightmares.

Qian Tingxuan secretly touched his forehead: When he was at Hongxiu Mountain Villa, he didn't know she was there. It seemed that he really scared her. How could he redeem his image

Xiao Yuge wanted to tell him about his elder sister and the Thunder Pavilion, but she was afraid he would ask her why she had been there. With his intelligence, she knew he could see through any lie she told, so she chose to remain silent.

"By the way, why hasn't your elder sister come to see you all this time" She already knew that Hongxiu Garden had moved.

"Oh, she might be inconvenient too, after all, in the eyes of the world, she has already died on the road to her relatives. If she appears again, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary misunderstandings."

His explanation made sense, and Xiao Yuge didn't doubt anything: "What is she doing outside right now Do you know"

"I'm not quite sure," Qian Tingxuan shook his head. "As you know, before last year, I was traveling all over the mountains and rivers and rarely returned to Beijing. I even less often contacted her."

"That's right, even siblings have things they can't share. It's fine to just live well on your own terms." To be honest, she didn't want Qian Tingxuan to get involved with the Thunder Pavilion at all.

Qian Tingxuan naturally knew what she meant, he just smiled and nodded, glancing outside: "Are you going back to Mingzhu Mansion or coming back to the Prince's Manor with me"

Xiao Yu Ge thought for a moment, then said, "I'm still worried about my senior brother and A Yue. I want to go and see A Yue."

"Their matters are none of your concern. Someone as wise as He Ming knows what to do." Qian Tingxuan pulled her back, however. "Let me send you back to Mingzhu Mansion first."

"Forget it, I'll go to the manor and see how my parents are doing." Xiao Yu Ge had already learned about the incident at Meihua Mountain Villa from Feng Yan Niang. She was afraid that her father had already known, so she had to go back and see.

"Alright, I'll come pick you up a bit later tonight." He was still somewhat uneasy. He had secretly arranged for some members of the Golden Feather Guards to be present at tomorrow's birthday banquet, hoping nothing would go wrong.

"Okay."

Mansion.

“Father, Mother, it’s your unfilial son! So unfilial!” Xiao Zhan, upon learning of the fire at Plum Blossom Villa and that perhaps Shen MeiHua and her son were already buried in the flames, knelt continuously in the Xiao family ancestral hall, refusing to come out. All he could utter was this phrase.

"Mother!" As soon as Xiao Yuge returned to the Xiangfu, she hurried to find Madam Xiao.y your side. If you want to disrupt the order of this dynasty, I will be your ox, your horse, the sharpest blade in your hand, toppling the imperial power. You want to do it, I'll do it for you! Today...
