Chapter 694: Teaching His Wife A Lesson 2 (1/2)

Chu Lian was rendered speechless by He Changdi’s words.

Thinking back to the close call she had in the thatched hut, a wave of residual fear washed over her. Even though she had eaten Great Doctor Miao’s specially made medicine to stabilise the foetus, her belly wouldn’t have been able to withstand that stab from Muxiang.

She had indeed put herself in too much risk and danger this time.

The unhappy and indignant feelings from earlier dissipated.

She looked down at her swollen belly and rubbed the top of it to soothe both herself and her unborn child. Chu Lian apologised in her mind, ‘Little fellow, Mother has let you suffer.’

He Changdi saw that his wife had understood what he had to say.

He covered Chu Lian’s small and soft hand with his own, and joined her in stroking her belly.

“Don’t worry, this little one has been quite obedient so far. The little one won’t blame you.”

Chu Lian shrunk into He Changdi’s embrace and clutched his lapels. After a long period of silence, she mumbled indistinctly, “He Changdi, I… I won’t do that again.”

Hearing that promise from Chu Lian, the corners of He Changdi’s mouth curled up. He tucked some stray locks of her hair behind her ear.

After a moment, Chu Lian puffed up her cheeks and turned around to look up at him. She glared at his handsome, yet expressionless face. “Although I was in the wrong, how could you hit me so hard?!”

He Changdi glanced down at her flushed cheeks, “Was it too hard?”

Chu Lian nodded profusely.

He Changdi replied in an absolutely nonchalant and calm manner, “Then I’ll let you return the hits when we get back.”

Chu Lian: …

Her mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes furiously.

She looked towards his robes and felt even more depressed. What was so nice to touch about a man’s buttocks? It was all hard and tough muscle there. She didn’t have any perverted inclinations…

After her initial train of thought had been interrupted by He Changdi, Chu Lian temporarily forgot about her inner struggle.

She had the feeling that He Changdi’s attitude towards her hadn’t changed at all even after this incident.

She suddenly lost the urge to ask him about it.

Learning in He Changdi’s safe and comfortable embrace, Chu Lian quickly dozed off.

Pregnant women were prone to sleeping more anyway, and she had already suffered a fright earlier. Actually, she was already very sleepy.

Once Chu Lian fell asleep, He Changdi knocked on the walls of the carriage and ordered Laiyue to drive the carriage a little slower.

He looked down at the soundly sleeping wife in his arms. He couldn’t seem to get enough of looking at her porcelain-like face, no matter how much he had already seen.

Thinking back to the completely different personalities of the Chu Lian from his past life and this one, he suddenly felt glad. Glad that he had still left some space in his heart to accept her after he had reincarnated, and even more glad that he had won her over.

It seemed like the heavens were still fair to him. The woman lying in his arms now was his true wife.
