Baili Hongzhuang was too lazy to dispute Dibei Chen's nonsense. Right now, that guy couldn't even distinguish between what was true and what was false. She clinked her glass to his, "Happy cooperation!"
Dibei Chen's smile brightened and he raised his cup, draining the wine in one shot. "With a beauty accompanying me, this wine becomes much more rich."
"Baili Zhentao already left?" Baili Hongzhuang asked calmly, her voice unhurried.
"You left him no face in front of everybody, how could he continue to stay here?" Dibei Chen asked back, "He made an excuse saying he didn't feel well and left. Tsk tsk, now I'm afraid he completely hates me."
Saying this, Dibei Chen looked at Baili Hongzhuang innocently, his eyes clear and bright.
"Wifey, you must comfort my wounded heart."
Baili Hongzhuang chuckled quietly, "You were the one who provoked him first."
Even she didn't expect for Dibei Chen to go so far to skip the wedding bow, not giving Baili Zhentao the slightest bit of face before using words to force him into an awkward situation.
"Wifey, you can't say things like that. I did it for you."
Listening, Baili Hongzhuang shrugged. But inside, her heart was touched.
Dibei Chen did this accounting for her emotions. No matter what, doing so in front of the Emperor, it was a very heavy risk for him.
He knew this, but he still chose to do such a thing. That was enough to explain everything.
After a long time, Baili Hongzhuang quietly spoke, "Thank you."
She was very clear that even if the Emperor was personally attending, there was no way she could bring herself to bow to Baili Zhentao. With that, the situation would've become even more difficult to end.
His deep, ocean like pupils flashed with a ray of light as a dubious smile suddenly bloomed on Dibei Chen's face.
"Wifey, now you're my princess. Why speak so formally?"
"This long awaited spring night is bitterly short, and talking will only waste time. Won't it be better to do something more meaningful?"
By the time he finished, Dibei Chen's tone was extremely ambiguous.
Baili Hongzhuang's face reddened. On a wedding night, she naturally understood what husband and wife were suppose to do.
"Yes, the night is deep, it's time to sleep." Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly.
Dibei Chen's eyes flashed. He was looking forward to Baili Hongzhuang, but instead, she just went and prepared to sleep on the bed.
"Wifey's words are right, the night is good, truly good for sleeping."
Deliberately saying the word 'good' twice, Dibei Chen's mouth was blooming with flowers.
But the next moment, Baili Hongzhuang threw two blankets at Dibei Chen, the smile on her mouth elegant and charming.
"Since you're having a hard time, sleep on the ground and have a good rest."
Finishing her words, she directly turned and laid on the bed, using her actions to prove her point.
Watching Baili Hongzhuang, a helpless smile appeared on Dibei Chen's face as he looked at the two blankets in his hands. But even so, a spoiling, loving light appeared in his eyes.
Seeing how Dibei Chen didn't do anything but lie on the ground and sleep, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even with having lived 2 lifetimes, she still had no experience.
Lying on the soft bed, it took a long time for Baili Hongzhuang to fall asleep.
Maybe it was because she'd had never slept on such a soft bed in Elegant Daylily Pavilion, it took her a while to adjust.
Or maybe, it was because there was never a man breathing in the room as she slept.
"Wifey, is the candle too bright for you to sleep?"
Dibei Chen asked, concerned as he suddenly got up from the floor. Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but be surprised and immediately pointed,
"The red candle's too bright, I'm not used to it"
Her heart couldn't help but feel a little guilty. In fact, she couldn't sleep because of Dibei Chen!
The room turned dark as Dibei Chen blew out the candle. "Now wifey can rest well."
"Thank you." Baili Hongzhuang replied and the room fell into silence.
Oh well, she just won't sleep tonight and have a good rest tomorrow.
Suddenly, Baili Hongzhuang heard light footsteps coming from outside the door.
Although the footsteps were actually very quiet, as a cultivator, her hearing was far above an ordinary person's and almost immediately discovered them.
It's so late, who would be sneaking around outside their door?
Just when Baili Hongzhuang was about to get up to see who was being so sneaky, her body was suddenly pinned down by a large silhouette.
Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help and scream, but Dibei Chen covered her mouth, not allowing a single sound to leak through.
Dibei Chen leaned close to her ear, his voice low as he whispered, "The walls have ears (Someone may be listening)."
Hearing his voice, Baili Hongzhuang's tense body relaxed a little as she started to think. Only the Emperor could've sent these people!
Although she still wasn't clear what Dibei Chen's identity was, she knew that the Emperor was very wary of him.
As for the rumor about him being an illegitimate child, Baili Hongzhuang didn't believe it at all after learning his true strength.
Baili Hongzhuang looked at Dibei Chen and gestured for him to get down. Just how much longer does this guy want to lie on her body!
Although Dibei Chen wasn't very heavy, this face-to-face posture… it was just too ambiguous.
"Wife, you're so beautiful."
Dibei Chen's voice was low and hoarse, his eyes staring at this woman whose beauty could overturn entire cities, and a strange feeling spread in his heart.
Moonlight peeked through the window, spilling in the room. It was just barely enough to see the other's face, beautiful and hazy, making the atmosphere even more intoxicating.
Baili Hongzhuang was slightly startled. This was the first time she saw Dibei Chen's face up close.
She could clearly feel his breath on her skin, burning hot yet somewhat itchy. She couldn't help but want to shrink her neck away.
The pair of bewitching, deep eyes were glowing with a dazzling light. Even the starry sky was lost to his sparkling eyes.
The two stared at one another. In that moment, they almost forgot about the people standing outside the door. In their eyes, there were only each other.
The room was extremely quiet. Baili Hongzhuang could clearly hear her own heartbeat hammering in her chest, 'thump', 'thump', interrupting her usual calmness.
"In my opinion, Prince Chen definitely won't have a problem. Princess Baili, is such a rare beauty, who would deliberately choose to miss the opportunity?"
"But, why isn't there any sound?"
Outside the room, they were putting their ears on the door, listening for any movement inside the room. Although they weren't sure why they were given such a job, since the higher ups told them to do so, they could only do it.
Dibei Chen rapped his knuckles on the headboard and moved a little.
Hearing the sounds, understanding smiles appeared on the two faces outside. It looks like they can report back with accomplishments!
As the two's footsteps walked away, Baili Hongzhuang was relieved. The two were finally dealt with. "You can get down now."
Dibei Chen looked at her with a smile, "Wifey, you're blushing……"
Even in the room's dim lighting, he could still see Baili Hongzhuang's reddened cheeks. Love and affection suddenly filled his heart.
Baili Hongzhuang felt her body turn stiff as his hot breath fanned her face. Her voice was hard, "You want a lot."
"Oh……" Dibei Chen raised an eyebrow, deliberately dragging his voice, "Originally this was……"
"You hurry up and get off!" Baili Hongzhuang was ashamed into anger.
At first, she wanted to directly kick this guy off the bed, but then she feared it'd be too loud and the 2 people outside would hear.
And second, because this guy's strength was so big, she couldn't even push him!
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's appearance, the smile in Dibei Chen's eyes deepend.
Usually, Baili Hongzhuang always looked calm and indifferent. It was the first time he saw other emotions in her eyes, and although it was anger, he still felt it was very cute.
The next moment, Baili Hongzhuang's eyes turned shocked as Dibei Chen's handsome face slowly approached her. She immediately pushed against him, but his body was like an unmoving hill.
This guy was viewing her as a joke!
Just as Dibei Chen's face was about to touch Baili Hongzhuang's lips, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly jerked her head to the side. His warm breath blew on the nape of her neck as he raised his head to whisper words that made her ears turn red.
"Wifey, you're really cute."
Dibei Chen's words were spoken with sincerity. Baili Hongzhuang was truly so cute that others just couldn't resist.
"If you don't get down, I'll give you a taste of life worse than death!" Baili Hongzhuang grinded her teeth.
This guy dared to tease her so much. She had to let him see her power!
Dibei Chen's face changed slightly. He could clearly feel Baili Hongzhuang bending her knees. His little wife can really be ruthless!
Suddenly, Dibei Chen's lips hooked up into a bewitching smile. He tightly hugged her and reversed their positions. Now, Baili Hongzhuang laid on his body.
"Wifey, you're too cruel!"
Baili Hongzhuang was also stunned for a moment, being hugged tightly by Dibei Chen. Both her hands rushed at Dibei Chen, this man was just too hateful!
Seeing how Baili Hongzhuang was truly unhappy, Dibei Chen caught her hands and smiled quietly, "Okay, I'll stop teasing you."
Saying so, Dibei Chen released his hands, allowing Baili Hongzhuang to leave his arms.
Looking at Dibei Chen's appearance after taking advantage of her, Baili Hongzhuang snorted coldly. She won't care about this guy any longer!
But in her heart, she was actually sulking. If she had more time to cultivate, then she never wouldn't have been suppressed by this guy!
When they had fought with each other, the jade pendant also fell with the outer robe of her dress. When Dibei Chen saw the jade, the light in his eyes sharpened.
"Wife, where did you get the jade pendant from?"
Listening to Dibei Chen's almost shocked voice, a light flashed in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes. Dibei Chen's tone clearly revealed that he knew something about the jade pendant!
Since Baili Hongzhuang found this, the only proof of her identity, she had always been carrying it around on her body. She could only hope that she could find her biological parents some time in the future.
Just the jade pendant couldn't really mean anything. In her view, trying to find her parents with the jade pendant alone was just too difficult.
She never thought that there was someone by her side that actually knew about it!
"You know what this jade pendant is?" Baili Hongzhuang asked.
