Bai Jianan clutched his chest as he was kicked to the edge of the car, still grinning as he said, "Are you angry? My wife is so cute even when she's angry."

Jian Yue glared at him angrily and said, "What exactly are you trying to do? Are you really going to take this spoiled brat lifestyle to the extreme?"

After Jian Yue finished speaking, Bai Jianan didn't say anything, but just smiled and looked at Jian Yue. Jian Yue frowned and looked at him for a while before realizing that something was wrong with Bai Jianan.

At this moment, Bai Jianan's face was still flushed, but his face and neck were covered in sweat, and he was leaning against the carriage in a state of exhaustion.

Jian Yue finally asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Bai Jianan shook his head and said weakly, "It's alright, my wife, don't worry, I'm fine, I'll be alright in a little while."

His gaze remained fixed on Jian Yue's face the entire time, his eyes filled with such intense love that it was so obvious and so domineering, as if he would feel life was meaningless if he didn't look at Jian Yue even once.

And Jian Yue was watched by him, his clothes soaked with sweat, his hands hanging limply at his sides. Finally, Jian Yue brought Bai Jianan to his side and laid him down on the ground.

"Bai Jianan, tell me, what's wrong with you?"

As she asked, her hands were not idle. She directly tore open Bai Jianan's robe. Seeing this, Bai Jianan was powerless to resist, but he said jokingly, "My wife is in such a hurry, which makes me very happy. It's just a pity that I am willing but unable to do so now. It would be better if my wife could do it herself."

"Bullshit! You still have the leisure to spout nonsense at a time like this? Bai Jianan, are you a cat? How many lives do you have?"

Bai Jianan's shirt was instantly stripped off, revealing his strong muscles with dark brown lines. Jian Yue frowned and stared at it for a long time before asking, "What exactly is this?"

Bai Jianan shook his head: "Don't look, it's too ugly."

"Don't change the subject, what exactly is this?"

Jian Yue looked at Bai Jianan seriously, her words carrying a strong tone, but Bai Jianan still stubbornly insisted, "It's nothing, just a slight mistake during practice, it'll be fine in a while."

As he spoke, he raised his hands and grabbed Jian Yue's waist, saying, "My wife, it's been a long time since I've held you like this."

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and flipped Jian Yue onto the car. In the blink of an eye, the two switched places. Bai Jianan pinned Jian Yue down, his eyes like those of a wild wolf, staring intently at the fat meat Jian Yue was about to devour.

Jian Yue's eyes were also fixed on Bai Jianan, but the wrinkles between her brows were not smooth, and there was a hint of impatience.

After a while, she stretched out her slender arm and pulled Bai Jianan's neck down a little. Her red lips approached Bai Jianan's lips, and she whispered, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'll find out sooner or later. You'd better pray that you're not lying to me now, otherwise, I won't let you off the hook."

Bai Jianan raised an eyebrow: "So?"

Jian Yue suddenly smiled charmingly and said, "So now, you'd better confess and be lenient."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan smiled helplessly and immediately lay down on Jian Yue, pressing his entire weight onto her. His voice, tinged with weariness, said, "Wife, can I get some sleep?"

As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered. Jian Yue struggled to move her upper body out from under Bai Jianan, only to find that Bai Jianan had already fallen asleep, his face pale and bloodless. She realized that the rosy complexion she had just had was due to her internal energy.

She paused, carefully cradled Bai Jianan's head in her arms, and called out to the car window, "Back to the Princess's Residence."

There was no answer from outside the window, but a gust of wind blew by, and then the carriage began to move forward, and voices could be heard outside the carriage.

The young master is very tired, please trouble you, young lady.

It was Zang Feng's voice. Clearly, it was Zang Feng who was driving the carriage. Jian Yue frowned: "Just how big of a mess has happened at Qilin Pavilion?"

"It's best if the young master tells you about this himself. Now that you've done your job, I'll speed things up."

As Zang Feng finished speaking, the carriage began to lurch and sway. Jian Yue held Bai Jianan tightly, carefully preventing him from bumping or falling, but her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

The princess's residence is not far away. Because the emperor said he couldn't bear to see his elder sister living so far away, he specially built the princess's residence near the imperial city when he was building it outside the palace for Murong Yan.

The carriage arrived at its destination in less than a quarter of an hour. Bai Jianan was still unconscious. Zang Feng knocked on the carriage frame, lifted the curtain, and looked at Jian Yue, asking, "Do you need any help?"

"Excuse me."

As Jian Yue spoke, Zang Feng took Bai Jianan and carried him out. Jian Yue then got out of the car and supported Bai Jianan from behind Zang Feng to prevent him from falling to the ground.

After escorting Bai Jianan to his room, Zang Feng disappeared without a trace. Jian Yue stood guard by Bai Jianan's bedside, staring intently at his half-naked upper body.

Those patterns are very strange. They don't look like poisoning, nor do they look like the result of a mistake in training that Bai Jianan said. So, what is Bai Jianan hiding?

Before Jian Yue could think for long, Bai Jianan woke up. Upon seeing this, Jian Yue immediately went over and asked, "Are you feeling better? Would you like some water?"

Bai Jianan nodded, and Jian Yue brought him a water cup. After drinking, Bai Jianan sighed and said, "I never expected to be treated like this when I'm sick. If I had known this would happen, I would have gotten sick sooner. Why did I have to suffer for my wife and not be able to have her?"

Jian Yue sneered, "Keep talking nonsense! I'd like to see how long you can keep this up."

"I'll never stop talking about it, my wife. Would you like to marry me soon?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue smiled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "How can I marry you? Your betrothal gifts are still at the Qiu residence and haven't been retrieved yet. Also, you once said you wanted half of the Qiu family's life. Now that my identity has been exposed, I'm no longer the Qiu family's daughter. How can I want half of the Qiu family's life?"

Bai Jianan immediately perked up and said with great enthusiasm, "Why bother my wife with this? Don't worry, they will definitely bring over all the betrothal gifts and dowry within three days."

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course, how could they possibly bear to let their only remaining legitimate daughter board my dilapidated boat?"

At this point, Jian Yue's eyes flickered, and she looked at Bai Jianan, saying, "Something happened in the backyard of the Prime Minister's residence today. What are your thoughts on this?"

Bai Jianan looked at Jian Yue and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Jian Yue shook her head: "I don't know. It always feels strange. Originally, the two Sun sisters wanted to embarrass me, but then Murong Chuan intervened, and they lost their advantage. Then Murong Chuan told me that he would give me a big gift. After that, you came and said that Qiu Lingfeng seemed to have some trouble. Then, something happened in the back of the Prime Minister's residence. I really don't know if these things have anything to do with Qiu Lingfeng."

"Whether it matters or not, we'll find out by going to the inner quarters of the Prime Minister's residence now. I'm sure the crowd hasn't dispersed yet."

Bai Jianan said nonchalantly, while Jian Yue shook her head: "It's better not to show up now. The Qiu family already hates me for investing. I should avoid their sharp edge. Otherwise, before they collapse, I'll be in trouble. I don't want to make enemies everywhere and be at a disadvantage."

Bai Jianan smiled and said nothing, but his eyes remained fixed on Jian Yue. He seemed to have fallen in love with this way. Since his body could not move, he could only desperately keep his eyes open and look at the person in his heart, looking on and on, not wanting to stop for a moment.

Jian Yue sighed and said, "I don't know what's wrong with you. If you don't tell me, I won't ask anymore. But you have to tell me when you'll get better, and you have to tell me what happened at Qilin Pavilion and why you ended up like this."

The worry in her eyes had been suppressed for days, but now that she saw Bai Jianan, she finally couldn't hold back and asked the question.

Bai Jianan's eyes changed, then he smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that we misjudged people's hearts and trusted the wrong people. The Qilin Pavilion has been torn apart and there are very few left."

Jian Yue frowned immediately: "No wonder the people from the Qilin Pavilion chased after me that day. Fortunately, Chu Tianyi was there, otherwise, Sister Hua and I would have lost our lives."

Bai Jianan felt a slight dissatisfaction when Chu Tianyi was mentioned, but he did not retaliate. Instead, he said, "If I am not around in the future, you can go and find that guy to do whatever you want. I can't guarantee anything else, but if he says he will protect you, he will definitely do it."

Jian Yue was taken aback, and glanced sideways at Bai Jianan: "Didn't you two not get along? Why do you trust him so much now?"

Bai Jianan looked away and said with dissatisfaction, "Of course we still don't get along, but right now I'm exhausted. If I really neglect your safety, I'll regret it to death. So, with him by your side, although I might be jealous, I won't worry about your life."

How can a man love a woman so much that he would tolerate his rival staying by the side of the woman he loves? Bai Jianan may not know that the way he appears before Jian Yue at this moment, even if it is not the most beautiful scene, is still the most touching one.

Jian Yue's lips immediately curled up, and she smiled unconsciously for a long time.

The smile was gentle, like peach blossoms blooming in March, like plum blossoms bursting in the cold of December. It instantly made Bai Jianan lose half his soul. When Jian Yue withdrew her smile, he cupped her face with lingering relish and murmured, "If I said that I want to kiss you until the end of time, would you think I'm... frivolous?"

Jian Yue withdrew her lips, gave Bai Jianan a wicked smile, and said, "Now do you think I would think so?"

Bai Jianan was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wicked smile, turning the tables and taking the initiative by cupping Jian Yue's face in his hands and returning the kiss.

This kiss, though not necessarily eternal, was like a gentle spring breeze, finally bringing their hearts, separated by countless mountains and rivers, together.

After the kiss, their noses touched, and Bai Jianan, panting, laughed, "This is the second time my wife has forced herself on me. My wife has to take responsibility."

"the second time?"

Jian Yue's face was still a little red. After hearing Bai Jianan's words, she was momentarily stunned. This seemed to be her first time! She had mustered up enough courage and recalled Hua Xiangrong's domineering appearance to barely manage to do it. How could it be said to be her second time?
