Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Li Chu suddenly groaned. Though the sound was quiet, it was remarkably clear in the still night. Dugu Jingyao was startled for a moment, then, as if coming to her senses, she slowly approached him, pouting, "Oh, my, I'm so sorry! I've been away for so long, I completely forgot about your unique hobby of climbing windows!"

As soon as she said that, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. The laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, echoing in the night sky.

Li Chu looked up and saw Dugu Jingyao laughing uncontrollably. He felt relieved. It looked like Jingyao wasn't really angry. If that was the case, it wouldn't hurt to let her vent her anger with a few hits. So, he simply let go of his restraint, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile.

Dugu Jingyao finally stopped laughing, pursed her lips lightly, and suppressed a smile. Her beautiful eyes turned and stared at Li Chu, and she asked softly, "Tell me, why did you choose to come at this time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chu reached out his hands without hesitation and pulled Dugu Jingyao into his arms. Feeling the warmth and softness of the woman in his arms, he murmured softly, "Why else? Of course, it's because I miss you so much! Seeing your family so angry during the day, I couldn't stay any longer. I had to wait until now, when it's late at night and everyone is asleep, to find another opportunity to see you."

As he spoke, he tightened his arms and hugged Dugu Jingyao tightly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

Being hugged so tightly by Li Chu, Dugu Jingyao instantly felt as if her heart had melted. The anger and grievances in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She said coquettishly, "Hmph, I haven't even officially married into the palace yet, and you're already busy selecting a new person for your backyard. Even if I'm not angry now, think about it, how can my family not be angry? So, this time I will let my family stand up for me and support me, so that you know that this princess is not someone to be trifled with. I have a powerful backer behind me, so that you won't bully me unscrupulously in the future."

Hearing this, Li Chu quickly untied his arms and explained anxiously and sincerely, "Aiya Jingyao, I can't even begin to cherish and protect you enough, how could I bear to bully you? I swear, I will hold you in my hands and protect you for the rest of my life."

Hearing his heartfelt words, Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but feel a sweet ripple in her heart. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile as charming as a blooming spring flower. She whispered softly, "Well, since you said so, let's just let this matter go. Actually, no matter what, after they vented their anger today, sooner or later we will become a family. So, I hope you can be more understanding."

Li Chu looked at the considerate woman in front of him, his heart filled with joy and love. He couldn't help but smile and responded, "Haha, Jingyao, it's you who can understand me. To be honest, I can completely empathize with your family's mood and feelings at this moment. If our daughter encounters such unfair treatment in the future, I will definitely stand up without hesitation and vent my anger on our precious daughter's behalf! I will never let anyone bully her in the slightest!"

At this point, Dugu Jingyao's face instantly flushed like the sunset. She said coquettishly, "Oh, what nonsense are you talking about? If our future daughter, with such a noble status, still receives such unfair treatment in her husband's family, then we don't care about such a family at all. At worst, we can just let our daughter divorce that useless husband!"

Hearing this, Li Chu couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter was hearty and full of doting: "Haha, good, good, you are absolutely right. I will find a reliable marriage for our beloved daughter in the future and will never let her suffer any grievances."

Perhaps it was the fatigue from the long journey that made Dugu Jingyao feel exhausted. She could no longer resist the invasion of tiredness and couldn't help but open her cherry mouth and yawn softly.

Li Chu was sharp-eyed and attentive, and he immediately noticed Dugu Jingyao's subtle movements, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

So, he slowly loosened his arms that were tightly hugging Dugu Jingyao, and instead took her slender hands, saying softly: "Jingyao, I'm sure you're exhausted too. You'd better get some rest. I'll be leaving now. Don't worry, we still have a lot of time to spend together."

Dugu Jingyao nodded slightly in agreement. Even though she had just reunited with the man she had longed for, as he had said, there was still a lot of time to come. She was indeed feeling very sleepy today...

Seeing Dugu Jingyao nod in agreement, Li Chu bent down without saying a word and carefully held Dugu Jingyao in his arms. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was holding a rare treasure in his arms and was afraid that it would be broken if he was not careful.

Then, Li Chu walked steadily to the bedside, gently placed Dugu Jingyao on the soft and comfortable bed, and carefully covered her with a warm quilt. After everything was arranged properly, Li Chu tiptoed to the window and left the room silently like a light falling leaf.

Dugu Jingyao, lying on the bed, felt particularly relaxed after feeling Li Chu's meticulous care, and her physical and mental fatigue seemed to be relieved a lot. Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep and entered a sweet dream.
