When Lu Lingxi and the other two returned to Changqiu Palace to take a break, Nan Wangyu also came back.

Lu Lingxi looked at Nan Wangyu at the door with resentment and muttered, "Why did he follow me? I just want to take a rest, why is it so difficult?"

Chunhong and Liulu both knew that the two must have something to say at this time, so they tactfully retreated and considerately closed the door after leaving.

When only Lu Lingxi and Nan Wangyu were left in the room, Lu Lingxi glanced at Nan Wangyu unhappily, leaned weakly on the table and asked: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. I'm so tired. I'm going to rest after you finish speaking."

Nan Wangyu originally thought that he would face Lu Lingxi's hysterical questioning, and he was racking his brains over how to coax her. Now seeing her so calm, he was both happy and sad. He was happy that he didn't have to argue with Lingxi, but he was worried that Lingxi's calmness could only mean that she didn't care about him.

Nan Wangyu smiled in a flattering manner and asked, "Lingxi, are you not angry with me anymore?"

Lu Lingxi was still lying on the table, and tilted his head to look at Nan Wangyu: "What do you mean by 'wu'? You have another name?"

Nan Wangyu sat down next to Lu Lingxi. "I am what I call myself. Lingxi, I was on your side just now. Are you not angry that I hid my identity from you before?"

Lu Lingxi pretended to be confused and asked, "What's your identity? When will your prince show up? He is so busy on the wedding day that he can't get away?"

Nan Wangyu: "Lingxi, I know you have guessed that I am the prince. I kept it from you before because the situation was really complicated at that time and I couldn't reveal my identity."

Lu Lingxi said mercilessly: "I didn't guess it."

Then he added: "You were injured at the time and you were afraid that someone would take the opportunity to harm you, so I can understand why you concealed your identity. But what about later? Why didn't you tell us?"

Nan Wangyu: "Weren't you very opposed to marrying me before? I was afraid that you would use the fact that you saved my life to force me to break off the engagement."

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi was really angry. He stood up and said, "Oh, so you mean I saved you and it was wrong? I never asked for anything in return, did I?"

Nan Wangyu moved a little closer to Lu Lingxi, "No, I didn't say you were asking for repayment, I'm just afraid of losing you. Can you please not be angry with me?"

Lu Lingxi felt that the distance between them was a little close, and stepped back a little unnaturally: "It's okay if you don't get angry, but we have to make three rules."

Nan Wangyu happily moved closer to Lu Lingxi and said, "Okay, as long as you don't get angry with me and don't mention divorce, even if it's just ten rules, that's fine."

Lu Lingxi felt like he was about to fall to the ground, but the person opposite him was still moving forward. He reached out and pushed him back, saying, "Just talk, don't get so close."

Nan Wangyu grabbed Lu Lingxi's hand and said, "Lingxi, I just want to be closer to you. We have already been married and are a formal couple. Is it okay for me to be closer to you?"

Lu Lingxi struggled to free himself from his hand, backed away and moved to another stool. Seeing that Nan Wangyu was about to move forward again, he quickly stopped him and said, "Hey! Don't move there. Let's talk about business. Don't make a move. When did you become so greasy?"

Although Nan Wangyu was unwilling, he also knew that he couldn't push Lingxi too hard. He had to take his time, so he didn't go forward and said with some regret: "Well, what three rules do you want to meet? Tell me."

Lu Lingxi: "First of all, I am still young and I am not ready yet. The wedding night can only happen when I am ready to accept you. You can't force me before that."

Nan Wangyu felt depressed, but then he thought that this kind of thing must be consensual, and now Lingxi is by his side every day, there is plenty of time for her to slowly fall in love with him. After thinking for a while, he agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Lu Lingxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when Nan Wangyu agreed, and then said the second point: "Secondly, I don't care if the women in your backyard are jealous, but don't mess with me. If I make me unhappy, don't feel bad when I deal with them."

Nan Wangyu: "Of course I don't feel bad. In my heart, all of them combined are not as good as one of your fingers. Just deal with them."

Although Lu Lingxi felt happy that Nan Wangyu was so accommodating to her, she also felt that it was a bit cruel for him to treat the person who had accompanied her in this way. If he no longer liked her in the future, would he treat her in the same cruel way?

So he said, "Why are you so smooth-talking? You don't look like a proper prince. But don't worry, I'm not a malicious person. I won't touch these beauties collected in your backyard for no reason. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke me, everything will be fine."

Nan Wangyu knew that Lu Lingxi must have misunderstood him as a playboy who fell in love with every woman he met, so he explained, "Lingxi, you misunderstood. I didn't collect these women in the backyard on purpose. I just had some of them. In fact..."

He hadn't finished explaining yet, but Lu Lingxi didn't want to listen anymore. She didn't care about the backgrounds of those women, so she interrupted him and said, "Third, you can't restrict my freedom. I can leave the house anytime I want, okay?"

Nan Wangyu: "You can leave the house at any time, but you must tell me where you are going, and you must return to the house before the hour of Xu every day."

Seeing that Lu Lingxi frowned and seemed a little unhappy, Nan Wangyu quickly added: "You are a girl, it is not safe to be outside so late at night. I am afraid that you will encounter danger again."

After Nan Wangyu reminded him, Lu Lingxi also remembered that he had been abducted by the King of Qi before, and he was still frightened. He nodded and agreed, "Okay."

As soon as she said the word "OK", Lu Lingxi's stomach started to growl. She didn't think she should be shy or anything. After all, it was almost the afternoon. It had been almost six hours since she had breakfast at the hour of Yin. There were only twelve hours in a day. It could be said that she hadn't eaten for half a day.

She laid back on the table again and said somewhat complainingly, "I'm so hungry and sleepy. Getting married is such a pain."

Nan Wangyu looked at Lu Lingxi's tired appearance, as if he was about to fall asleep, and advised: "Lingxi, don't sleep on an empty stomach. You won't be able to sleep well if you are too hungry. Eat something first."

After saying that, he shouted to the outside of the door: "Chunhong, quickly get some food for your mother."

Looking at Lu Lingxi lying on the table with his eyes wide open but lifeless, Nan Wangyu said with some regret: "Did you take off your veil by yourself? It should have been me. We haven't drunk the wedding wine yet, and we have nothing to do now, how about we make up for it?"

Lu Lingxi said without moving his eyes: "The veil has been taken off, and I have gone out for a walk, how can I make up for it? I am so hungry and my stomach is uncomfortable, and you still want me to drink? These are just formalities, it doesn't matter."

Nan Wangyu knew that these were just formalities and were not important, but he still felt somewhat regretful. However, since Lu Lingxi was unwilling to cooperate, he did not force her.

Chunhong was quick and brought the food in no time.

When Lu Lingxi was eating, his eyelids were drooping. He only ate half full and then lay down on the table without moving.

Nan Wangyu laughed as he looked at Lu Lingxi, who was sleeping soundly on the table. Was she really that sleepy? He didn't eat anymore. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up Lu Lingxi gently, put her on the bed, took off her shoes, and covered her with a blanket.

After settling Lu Lingxi, Nan Wangyu went about his own business.
