Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Home Flowers Are Not as Fragrant as Wild Flowers
As they were talking, she forcefully tugged at him and then turned to leave.
“What are you leaving for? What’s the rush? We’re husband and wife, not sneaking around with someone else. What are you afraid of?”
As Di Yelei was speaking, he pulled Liu Sisi back to him and, in a fluid motion, wrapped his arm around her waist while lightly caressing her bulging stomach.
Unintentional words provoked conscious thoughts!
Liu Sisi’s face changed immediately!
It suddenly turned deathly pale, with no trace of color.
Di Yelei was completely unaware and continued talking to the baby in her belly.
“Little guy, have you been well-behaved today? Have you been giving your mother trouble? If you don’t behave, Daddy will spank your bottom right now!”
“Ye Lei, you… you didn’t come back the night before last. Have you been very busy with official business lately?”
Liu Sisi asked softly.
From her position, she could see Di Yelei’s profile as he half-squatted on the ground, listening intently to her stomach.
“Yes! We’ve almost finished sorting out the weapons in the armory, so I’ve been quite busy recently. But don’t worry, once we’re past this busy period, things will get easier. We can move into the city to live then. What do you think?”
He looked up at her, his face bearing a simple and sincere smile, just like when they first met.
Liu Sisi felt a knot forming in her heart, and she couldn’t help but recall what Mrs. Su had said earlier.
“My sister-in-law has a daughter named Cailian. She’s only fifteen years old and excels at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting…”
“Oh? That’s wonderful! Mrs. Su is truly fortunate.”
“A few days ago, my sister-in-law came to see me and asked me to help find a husband for her little sister…”
“Mrs. Su! How dare you speak such words? Do you consider me, Liu Sisi, to be made of clay?”
“Little sister, that was not my intention! They say that Cailian and Lord Di have fond feelings for each other, but Lord Di is so devoted to you that he cannot bear to bring her into his home and hurt your heart. That’s why I, your elder sister, have come to ask for your help with a thick face…”
“Mrs. Su! Please don’t say such things anymore! If it tarnishes your niece’s boudoir reputation, my husband cannot bear the responsibility!”
“Please think about this matter carefully… For men, it’s very normal to have three wives and four concubines. Just take my husband as an example! Doesn’t he also have three other concubines in the backyard besides me?”
“Enough! If you really have the ability, let my husband personally tell Sisi! Otherwise… Humph!”
“Fine, fine! I’m leaving! But Sisi, you should know – men can never resist the fragrance of wildflowers. Rather than letting them continue to sneak around, it’s better for you to… Being his legitimate wife, you will inevitably have to face such matters eventually…”
“Old Cheng, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and see the guest out!”
“Yes, Madam!”
…
“Sisi, Sisi? What’s wrong with you, Sisi?”
Seeing that Liu Sisi didn’t respond for a while, Di Yelei called out to her several times and waved his hand in front of her eyes, finally bringing her back to reality.
“Oh, I… I was just feeling a bit tired. It’s nothing.”
Liu Sisi forced a smile and, while speaking, also wiped the cold sweat from her brow.
If someone else had come up with such a scheme, Liu Sisi would have believed it. But to think that Di Yelei would have such thoughts… She would be the first one not to believe it!
