A child cannot be born in a day, nor can it be born as soon as he wanted to. Although Xiao Tianyao expressed his desire to have a child, if the child’s mother doesn’t cooperate, everything will be useless.
Who knows if the child’s issue was too sensitive or what, when Xiao Tianyao proposed to have a child, Lin Chujiu didn’t answer the question, and neither of them spoke for the rest of the journey.
Lin Chujiu was writing and drawing in a corner, while Xiao Tianyao was holding a scroll in his hand and reading it slowly. Although it was eerily quiet, it was not embarrassing.
The speed of the sedan chair was not fast, and in the evening, they had only traveled one-third of the distance. With Xiao Tianyao’s consent, the group camped and rested at the same place, preparing to rest for a night, and continue on their way tomorrow.
According to their schedule today, they will not be able to reach the capital tomorrow, and Xiao Tianyao couldn’t agree to enter the city in the evening.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should enter the city early in the morning of the third day.
Without question, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu lived in the same tent when resting at night. The two have long been used to this, both of them were smart and rational people, no matter what their real situation was, in the eyes of outsiders, they were husband and wife.
Sleeping in a separate place with Princess Xiao, Xiao Tianyao would never do such a thing that slaps Princess Xiao in the face.
Of course, this was also because Princess Xiao was Lin Chujiu, and he happens to think that Lin Chujiu was good. Otherwise, if he doesn’t care about the other party, even if she was Princess Xiao, he won’t give her a face. No one can force him.
Refusing to sleep with Xiao Tianyao, this kind of embarrassment to Xiao Tianyao in public, Lin Chujiu would not do it either. She would give Xiao Tianyao enough face in front of people. She wouldn’t give political opponents a chance to ridicule him and laugh at him because of their private affairs.
After the two of them had dinner, it was supposed to be time to wash up and rest, but Lin Chujiu was sitting at the desk with a book in her hands, reading it with great interest, as if she didn’t intend to go to sleep.
Xiao Tianyao sat at the side, flipping through the letters sent by Jingzhong, while looking up at Lin Chujiu from time to time. Seeing Lin Chujiu pretending to be busy, he couldn’t help but secretly smiled.
Lin Chujiu was not a person who can hide her thoughts. Although she thinks she hides it well, she can only deceive outsiders. He only needs to take a look to understand what she was thinking.
Seeing Lin Chujiu’s tense and tangled look, Xiao Tianyao didn’t need to think about it. The girl was probably worried about what he would do tonight, and she didn’t know whether she should refuse.
After all, as Princess Xiao, it was her duty to give birth to his heir. If she refuses, the consequences were not something she can bear.
If she agrees, he was afraid she still has a little bit of reluctance in her heart.
Of course, whether he guessed it right or not, Xiao Tianyao would not tell Lin Chujiu kindly that he would not do anything tonight, and he would not force Lin Chujiu either.
Some things can be done regardless of whether they were in love with each other, but the effect will be much better when the two love each other and are willing to do so.
He has been waiting for so many years, and he doesn’t mind waiting a few more years at all.
Time passed by, and it was long past the time for the two of them to go to bed, but Lin Chujiu had no intention of getting up. Xiao Tianyao laughed secretly, put down the booklet in his hand, and stood up.
Lin Chujiu, who was “seriously” reading a book, tensed up, her head was almost buried in the book, looking fascinated by it.
“Haha…” Xiao Tianyao couldn’t help laughing.
Lin Chujiu didn’t pretend to be self-inflicted, she was really stupid.
Being exposed in public, Lin Chujiu looked embarrassed and blushed, put down her hands pretending to be calm, got up, and asked: “Wangye, are you going to sleep?”
“Mmm. It’s getting late, you need to wash up quickly and go to bed early.” Xiao Tianyao smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Lin Chujiu playfully, and told Lin Chujiu silently that he knew her little moves.
“I, I don’t want to sleep yet. Wangye, you go to sleep first.” Lin Chujiu, who was already embarrassed, didn’t dare to look at Xiao Tianyao now.
She doesn’t know what to do now. She didn’t want to have a substantial development with Xiao Tianyao so soon, but if Xiao Tianyao asked, she couldn’t say no.
She was Princess Xiao, legally speaking, she was Xiao Tianyao’s wife. She cannot refuse to have an intimate relationship with Xiao Tianyao, and she cannot even refuse to give birth to a child for him.
Of course, she can refuse, but what happens after she refuses?
Will she just watch Xiao Tianyao marry another woman and let the other woman give birth to an heir for him?
Don’t mention it, just thinking it made her heart hurts badly.
She has feelings for this man, but the pain he caused her was too heavy and deep. She hides her feelings deeply, but hiding doesn’t mean she has no feelings. She still has this man in her heart, and she cannot accept him to have other women, especially when she pushed him to another woman with her own hands.
But to ask her to easily compromise and erase everything in the past, she felt upset.
She didn’t know what to do.
When Xiao Tianyao smiled softly, for a moment, Lin Chujiu felt that Xiao Tianyao had seen through her. She was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do when suddenly, the personal guard came and said Prime Minister You ask to see their prince.
Lin Chujiu breathed a long sigh of relief, patted her heart silently, and secretly thought that she had escaped.
Xiao Tianyao was very angry and funny, it can be seen that Lin Chujiu was in shock, and it was not good to scare her: “Go to bed early, don’t wait for me.”
Xiao Tianyao couldn’t see Prime Minister You there, so he ordered someone to take Prime Minister You to the nearby tent and went out. But before leaving, he took a special look at Lin Chujiu, and that glance was very meaningful.
Normally, Lin Chujiu would have thought of Xiao Tianyao’s deep meaning, but now she didn’t think about it. Seeing Xiao Tianyao leave, she didn’t care about her image, and directly slumped on the chair and panted heavily.
Xiao Tianyao has been so difficult recently that she doesn’t know what to do.
She wanted to reject him like before and do their things, but every time she thought of the figure who especially gave her clothes, she couldn’t make up her mind.
It was the first time that someone gave her clothes when she needed them; it was the first time that she experienced the feeling of being put on top of their heart and being cared about by others. It was the first time that she no longer had to envy others.
The moment she saw Xiao Tianyao appearing with clothes, her heart was beating wildly, and she could only think about him.
Perhaps, to Xiao Tianyao, this was just an accidental incident, but to her, it made up for the lack of her childhood and the regret in her heart.
“What should I do?” Lin Chujiu raised her head, looking at the dark roof, her eyes glazed over.
She didn’t understand, why Xiao Tianyao.
Why this man who repeatedly hurt her?
Why was it this man she had been tempted by?
“Why you?” If it was someone else, maybe she wouldn’t be so contradictory and helpless.
But that person was Xiao Tianyao. She was moved by him before, and even now she still has him in her heart, she can’t be cruel to reject him… …
