The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

I spent the whole night with Xia Tongsheng, and now I'm being sent out on official business the next day. Who could stand that?

Min Youan, who is constantly on the move between fighting on the frontier and providing disaster relief, would definitely be considered a frequent business traveler in modern times. If he doesn't have a wife, that's one thing, but if he does, he'd probably be worried every day that his wife wouldn't be able to stand the loneliness and would be having an affair with someone else!

"I've only just returned, and Father Emperor has already sent me out again. This is..." Min Youan sighed.

Feng Yuhan understood, "Oh, you can't bear to part with the Princess!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Feng Yuhan, on the other hand, was nonchalant: "It's okay, there's nothing shameful about it!"

"How about this, I go instead?"

"You? But Father specifically requested that I go!"

"But His Majesty only said to leave it to the prince to handle, he didn't say you had to go in person. You just need to do your job of directing from the capital, there's no need for you to make the trip yourself!"

Min Youan patted Feng Yuhan on the back gratefully, "Thanks, brother!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuhan panicked and hurriedly waved his hands, "No, I dare not be your brother. Being your brother is a matter of life and death. I don't want the Crown Prince and the others to have their eyes on my life!"

Min Youan knew that he was just joking so that she wouldn't feel guilty towards him!

"Okay, whatever you want!"

Min You'an had already left the court session, but Xia Tongsheng was still sleeping under the covers.

However, Yingling burst in carrying little Yuetong, "Miss, the little princess is hungry!"

"Oh!" Without even opening her eyes, she picked up the child, pulled open her clothes, and began her day's work as a dairy cow!

Just as Yingling was about to leave, Xia Tongsheng called her back. His voice was languid, as if she hadn't woken up yet, and his tone was soft and sweet, with a delicate quality, "Yingling, you're not allowed to team up with the Prince against me anymore!"

"Miss, I didn't!"

"You didn't?" Xia Tongsheng squeezed her eyes open twice, trying to open them. "Still not admitting it? How come you were the one who saw the Prince kissing Yi Bai? If you hadn't conspired with the Prince, how could he have arrived so quickly?"

Yingling chuckled, scratched the back of her head, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just saw how hard the prince was pursuing you, and I wanted you two to reconcile soon, didn't I?"

Back then, if it weren't for her excuse, the prince wouldn't have suffered for so many days. Out of guilt, she agreed to help the prince!

"Hmph, this is a one-time exception!"

"Yes!" Yingling stuck out her tongue and ran off quickly!

When Min Youan returned to the Prince's residence, Xia Tongsheng was already up. Upon seeing him, she smiled shyly and asked, "You're back?"

Min Youan didn't dare to move at all when Xia Tongsheng greeted him, for fear that what he was seeing was an illusion, a bubble, or something fake.

In her mind, she definitely shouldn't have gotten up yet at this time.

After all, her talent for sleeping was absolutely amazing; she would often be fast asleep even after the court session was over!

But when I got back today, I found that Xia Tongsheng had actually gotten up. Not only was he up, but he was also dressed neatly and watering the flowers in the yard!

He quickly stepped forward and touched Xia Tongsheng's forehead. "Are you feeling unwell?"

It must be because the two of them took off their clothes and "played" for too long last night that they caught a cold today and can't sleep!

Thinking of this, he took off his clothes and draped them over Xia Tongsheng with a pained expression.

"You've caught a cold, and you still don't know how to take care of yourself!"

"Huh? Do I look that haggard?" Could it be that I've been neglecting my appearance all day, which is why my complexion looks so bad?

Xia Tongsheng's heart skipped a beat. She never expected that after giving birth, she would become a haggard housewife!

"You don't usually get up this early, what's going on today?"

"Haha!" Xia Tongsheng rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm still the same person I was back then? Don't you even think about who I am now?"

Seeing her smug look, Min Youan wondered what she was so proud of. She was just the owner of a brothel, what was there to be proud of!

"I am now the mother of your daughter!"

"But what does this have to do with you getting up early?" Does becoming a mother mean setting a good example for her child by not sleeping in?

"You probably don't know how many times a day your daughter needs to be fed. Now I have to get up very early every day to feed her! She bites me so hard when she's nursing, how can I sleep?"

Min Youan hadn't expected taking care of a child to be so tiring. "I'll find her a wet nurse, so you can sleep peacefully!"

"No way, she's my own child, and I have enough milk. Why should I let someone else take care of her? I wouldn't feel comfortable letting someone else take care of her!"

Isn't it said that fathers generally love their daughters more?

He treats his daughter like a precious gem, afraid she might fall if he holds her in his hands or melt if he keeps her in his mouth. Why would this father want someone else to feed his daughter?

Xia Tongsheng thought and thought but still couldn't understand, "Don't you love your daughter?"

"How could that be? She's my only daughter. Who else would I love more than her?"

"Then why were you so cold to her?"

"Am I being cold?" Min Youan felt that he had already spoiled Yue Tong a lot, so how could there be any talk of being cold?

"Yes!" Xia Tongsheng strongly protested on behalf of her child!

Having a mother who harms her child is bad enough, but she can't have a father who doesn't love her either, otherwise Yuetong won't be able to live a normal life!

"Isn't this because I feel sorry for you?"

"I feel sorry for my daughter, but I can't let her go without milk!" How can I know if someone else's milk is clean or not? There are many diseases that can be transmitted through breast milk these days!

So breast milk and oil are the same; there's the best Golden Dragon blended oil, and there's also gutter oil!

She was determined to eliminate any possibility of her child consuming substandard breast milk!

"Fine, do whatever you want!" He turned his head. "Where's the child?"

"Inside the house, Yingling is holding her!"

"I will go in and see her!"

He said he just wanted to take a look, but in the end he couldn't help but happily pick her up and bring her to Xia Tongsheng's side!

Looking at the happy family of three, Yingling couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It really wasn't easy for the prince to coax the young lady!

Xia Tongsheng took the child from Min Youan's hands, "Give it to me!"

"No, I want to hold her more, so you won't keep saying I don't love my daughter!"

"Okay, I was wrong. Give me the child right now!"

Hearing from others that daughters are usually closer to their fathers, Xia Tongsheng made up her mind to prevent her daughter from becoming too close to her father and leaving her aside from a young age!

Otherwise, what if you painstakingly raised your daughter, only to have her benefit someone else? How frustrating would that be?
