It was getting darker and the night sky was full of stars.

Lin Qianqian took a pair of small scissors and gently cut off the candle wick in the middle.

She stared at the jumping blue wick for a while, and the candle liquid like blood-red tears flowed down the candle body drop by drop.

Suddenly, a small moth flew over the candle flame and fell down. Soon, its two transparent wings were stained with the hot candle wax and it could not move.

Gu Huai pushed the door open and sighed at Lin Qianqian's exquisite back.

He lowered his head, not knowing how to start talking to her about late summer.

What happened in late summer is secondary. The most important thing is what she said to Cheng Jiayao today.

When he came back from his mother's room and passed through the rocky rockery, he met Cheng Jiayao who was leaning out of the pavilion to feed the fish.

Cheng Jiayao came over holding up her skirt and saluted to greet him. She told him about going to the doctor to check Lin Qianqian's health today, and then said:

"Today I told Aunt Lin that having a baby would completely tie your heart to me, but Aunt Lin seemed very reluctant."

"She actually said that she was just a concubine, and if she lost favor, she would be lost, and if she was sold, she would belong to whoever she was sold to. She wanted me to give birth to a child for the Marquis's mansion as soon as possible. My Lord, I think this concubine Lin is not sincere to you..."

"What woman wouldn't want to stay with the man she loves and bear children for him?"

After Cheng Jiayao finished speaking, she saw Gu Huairu was struck by lightning, his face turned ashen, and he stood there like a wooden stake.

He quickly lowered his head and used a round fan to hide the secret joy on the corners of his mouth.

"Really?" Gu Huai's voice was hoarse and his lips turned pale.

Cheng Jiayao said gently, "This is my intuition as a woman. Prince, I am a woman and I understand women best..."

……

Gu Huai walked behind Lin Qianqian, slowly stretched out a hand and placed it on Lin Qianqian's thin shoulder.

Finally, he weakly grasped the clothes on her shoulders.

"Qianqian, I have something to tell you."

Lin Qianqian turned around and saw Gu Huai, and smiled at him, "Persimmon, you're back."

"Ah."

Gu Huai took a deep breath, but still felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, which was difficult to relieve.

He lowered his eyelids and clenched his fist tightly on the table.

"Qianqian, were you the one who told Cheng Jiayao that you stole her husband without even entering the house?"

Lin Qianqian nodded, "That's what I said."

"You still say that you are a concubine and belong to whoever you are sold to? Do you still want Cheng Jiayao and I to have two children every three years?"

Lin Qianqian noticed that something was wrong.

The relaxed and happy expression on his face was replaced by seriousness.

"I said so, what's wrong?"

Gu Huai suddenly burst into tears.

A pair of beautiful brown amber eyes quickly filled with tears, watery as if filled with a clear spring.

He cried, "Who do you think I am? I redeem you, but then sell you to someone else? Do you really think I can do such a thing that is worse than pigs and dogs?"

"You said I was Cheng Jiayao's husband, then what am I to you?"

Gu Huai suddenly stood up and excitedly grabbed Lin Qianqian's arm.

He squeezed so hard that his hands felt like iron clamps, causing the bones in her arms to ache.

Lin Qianqian broke free from Gu Huai's grip and said in disgust, "Why are you using so much strength? It hurts so much."

"Qianqian, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Gu Huai quickly apologized in a low voice.

He grabbed Lin Qianqian's shoulders again and yelled, "You actually said that you stole Cheng Jiayao's husband? It was obviously us who got together first! When you say that, have you ever considered my feelings? I obviously don't want to be someone else's husband! I already have you!"

"You treat me as someone else's husband, then what am I to you!"

"You're my man."

Lin Qianqian said calmly.

Little did he know that these words somehow ignited Gu Huai's anger.

"Do you only regard me as your man? Why can't I be your husband!"

"Why do you also want me and Cheng Jiayao to consummate our marriage? And have a baby!"

"You were obviously not like that before. You didn't want me to marry Cheng Jiayao, let alone see her. After sleeping for a while, you have changed. Have you figured it out? Do you know how upset I am?"

"I'm always angry because you don't care about me as much as before!"

Gu Huai turned his head away aggrievedly, raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from his face, "Do you really want me to have a baby with another woman? You really don't mind me touching other women?"

"Well, I'll touch another woman tonight! Just as you wish!"
