I traveled through the Cretaceous period and farmed with the ever-changing dog egg.

"Ayan, you are a woman, how can you play around with men by taking off your clothes?"

Ying Zheng was so angry his head ached. He really wanted to open her head and see what was inside.

Lin Chaoyan felt a strange panic for the first time looking at the little adult in front of her, like a child caught cheating by the headmaster. "The one taking off his clothes is Lü Buwei's son, I didn't lose!"

Is this a matter of winning or losing? Seeing her defiant and completely oblivious attitude, Ying Zheng angrily punched the wall next to her. "You think this is a matter of winning or losing? Shouldn't a woman like you refuse such a despicable request?"

"Oh! Then let's not play the 'take off clothes' game next time." Lin Chaoyan was really worried that if she kept talking, Ying Zheng would punch her in the face.

Seeing her dismissive attitude, Ying Zheng could only try to calm his impending outburst by taking deep breaths. "Tomorrow is the day I'm officially named Crown Prince. You stay in the palace and don't wander off."

"...Ah Zheng~ Are you alright with your hand?" I'm amazing! I actually made Qin Shi Huang so angry he wanted to pound the wall. I hope this hand doesn't get ruined! Otherwise, how will I be able to review dozens of kilograms of memorials in the future!

Her concern instantly extinguished the fire in Ying Zheng's heart. Thinking of how distant they had become, he reached out his hand to let her feel sorry for him. "It hurts~"

Lin Chaoyan took out a tube of ointment and gently massaged it on his skin. In fact, he didn't want much at this moment. This was enough. Even if she wasn't his wife, as long as he could see her, talk to her about his feelings, and have a place in her heart, that would be enough.

Unfortunately, Lin Chaoyan shattered his illusions. "When is Aci coming back? What did you borrow him for? I miss him! I'm going to see him the day after tomorrow." It's been a week, and that guy Lin Qi'an still hasn't told her where Wen Ci is. Lin Chaoyan is very anxious; she realizes she can't live without him.

"You don't need to go, he'll be back!"

Ying Zheng planned to send a message soon to order the pursuit and killing of Lin Chaoyan. He couldn't let Lin Chaoyan leave, so he decided to keep both of them here. He didn't believe Wen Ci could resist the temptations of the outside world.

Upon hearing that Ying Zheng was finally going to return her husband to her, Lin Chaoyan happily spun around on the spot. "Really? That's great! I want to sleep with him when he comes back."

"No! That's illogical!" What kind of outrageous words are these? Where did she get these nonsensical ideas? Did Lü Wen teach her? Ying Zheng mentally marked Lü Wen with a heavy smugness.

It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable... Lin Chaoyan was speechless, her face full of black lines. "...Why are you so controlling? I'm moving out with Aci the day after tomorrow to have some alone time. I don't want to live with you. People would think you're my father!"

Completely oblivious to the expression on the face of the person behind her, she was still busy making plans for her future life. "By the way! Ah Zheng, you promised to give me land, on that mountain south of Xianyang City, okay?"

"Are you so sure he'd give up wealth and status to retire to the countryside with you? If you want to farm, I'll reserve a plot of land for you at the Crown Prince's residence! Why go so far?"

Why do you always want to leave me? I've already decided to let you two be together, all I want is to see you anytime, anywhere, why do you want to take even that away from me?

"Ah Zheng, all good things must come to an end. Besides, Ah Ci and I are just moving out; we haven't left Xianyang. You can come see me anytime you want. You will grow up, and many people will come and go in your life. Don't be too attached. I promise you, you will have many beautiful wives and smart, adorable children in the future. You will never be lonely!"

The strong are destined to be lonely, but you have a harem! No one else will be lonely, not you. Lin Chaoyan was somewhat looking forward to the birth of Ying Zheng's eldest son, Prince Fusu.

"Even if he betrayed me that day, I can still leave him. Three-legged toads are hard to find in this world, but two-legged men are everywhere." Is that alright now? He's already exuding Qin Shi Huang's aura before even becoming emperor; what will he be like later?

Ying Zheng's gaze lingered on her face for a long time before leaving, his words turning into a sigh. "Fine! As long as you don't leave Xianyang, I'll let you go into seclusion."

Seeing that Ying Zheng had agreed, Lin Chaoyan happily let him lead her, humming a little tune to herself.

According to the palace servants, Ying Zheng risked his life to save Ying Zichu half a month ago, which moved Heaven and Earth. Ying Zichu, a mama's boy, immediately decided to make his eldest son Ying Zheng the crown prince and Zhao Ji the queen.

Zhao Ji was so happy about this that she kept talking to Lin Chaoyan for half the night. Later, Ying Zheng and the palace servants forcibly persuaded her to leave.

The ceremony for the Crown Prince's investiture was very grand. Even though Lin Chaoyan was not present, she could imagine it from the vivid performance of the eunuch Gao.

During this investiture ceremony, Ying Zheng had to juggle his duties among the ministers and deal with the old tyrant Lü Buwei.

When it was finally over, around eight or nine o'clock, the mother and son ran in the same direction at the same time, each having someone to share their joy with.

Lin Chaoyan sat on the swing in the courtyard, studying the Dream Butterfly. She could finally focus on her research after they moved out tomorrow. This mother and son would probably be too busy to care for themselves.

“Ayan,”

Alright! Here they come! This mother and son have such great chemistry! Lin Chaoyan stood up and looked at the two main characters. She was genuinely happy for them.

"Congratulations!! You are now the Crown Prince and Queen." I'll speak with Zhao Ji alone later. Men are fine for casual flings, but her son is the most important. She must have her own judgment on matters of great importance. Lin Chaoyan doesn't expect her to remain a widow for Qin Zichu for life, but she does ask that she personally execute Lao Ai.

"Ayan, I am the Crown Prince now!" Ying Zheng excitedly grasped her hands, wanting her to stay for him.

"I know! A-Zheng will succeed. Today you are the Crown Prince, and soon you will be the King of Qin, and then the only king in the world. No matter how many obstacles lie ahead, I believe you will succeed." Three years from now, you will be the King of Qin. What an honor it would be for me to witness all of this!

Under the moonlight, the boy's gaze burned as he tightened his grip on her hand. He had nowhere left to retreat; he only wanted her to stay with him. "Ayan will always be with me, watching me reach that point, right?"

"Of course! It would be my honor to witness your success in person." They recorded a video together, and although they were completely on different wavelengths, they chatted very harmoniously.

"Yan Yan," the familiar voice rang out, and Lin Chaoyan immediately pulled her hand back and ran towards the person she missed, clinging to Wen Ci.

Before Ying Zheng could emerge from the happiness he had created, his hands were empty. He trembled as he silently clenched his fists behind his back, smiling as he watched his beloved be inseparable from someone else.

"Aci, you're finally back? Where did you go? I missed you so much, I thought about you every day. Did you miss me? You're not allowed to leave my side again. No! Not even half a step." She finished speaking and planted a series of kisses on Wenci's face and lips. Lin Chaoyan wanted more, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

Wen Ci held the person in his arms tightly to prevent her from falling. He greedily inhaled the scent of her body. "Of course I miss her. I miss Yan Yan every single moment. I will never leave Yan Yan's side again."

Ying Zheng watched the two leave, then looked up at the bright moon, his heart aching even more. You... you never truly belonged to me, did you? How unwilling I am!

As he was about to leave, he was startled by Yi Mengdie, who was standing nearby. "How did this thing end up here? Did Ayan forget to put it away?"

Tonight was short for Lin Chaoyan and Wen Ci, but very long for Ying Zheng.

"A-Ci! We can move out tomorrow, and we'll go to Nanshan to enjoy some alone time, just like before!" Lin Chaoyan nestled against Wen Ci's chest and told him her plans.

Wen Ci stroked her back and hair, closing his eyes and trying to control his desire. The more he tried to control himself, the deeper his desire became.

He suddenly opened his eyes, leaned in and pressed his gaze down, direct and precise, as if sparks were igniting within him. The room temperature rose abruptly, and the atmosphere became ambiguous. Lin Chaoyan felt her mouth go dry for a moment.

The next second, Wen Ci kissed him passionately, their kiss so intense it felt like the world was ending. His large hands roamed freely, conquering and plundering. Their clothes fell away, and the two figures, naked and entwined, engaged in a tender and passionate lovemaking, calling each other's names. They did almost everything except for the final step, yet they never crossed the line.

"I'm so sorry! Yan Yan, Yan Yan, I love you so much. Yan Yan~"

With bloodshot eyes, Wen Ci suppressed her burning desire, grabbed her clothes, and rushed out the door. This relationship was causing immense suffering for both of them—no, for all four of them.

Wen Ci, Lin Chaoyan, Lin Qi'an with nowhere to vent his raging anger in the space, and Ying Zheng next door whose dream was invaded by the Dream Butterfly.

【Yan Yan, you forced me to this!】If I can't have it, no one else can either.
