Looking at the meat and soup in front of him, Nangong Li shook his head helplessly. "Sigh, it seems I was too impatient. I need to be more careful in the future. If you offend someone too much, they won't even be able to smell the soup, let alone drink it."

Just as Nangong Li picked up the piece of braised pork, before he could even put it in his mouth, two more pieces of braised pork appeared in his bowl.

"Uncle, here's some of Qingfeng's meat for you."

"Uncle, you can have some of Mingyue's meat too!"

Nangong Li was both amused and exasperated: "Thank you so much, you two little darlings! If it weren't for you two, I could at least have a sip of soup. Now, I can't even get a sip! I can't even smell the soup anymore. Seventeen is treating me like a thief now."

Nangong Li put the meat back into the two little ones' bowls: "Uncle already has meat. You two little ones need to eat more meat so you can grow taller!"

After hearing Nangong Li's words, Mingyue and Qingfeng turned to look at Li Liuyun: "Is this what Auntie is like?" Mingyue tilted her head and asked.

Li Liuyun smiled and nodded: "Children should eat more at home, not just meat, but also vegetables. A balanced diet is essential for them to grow tall!"

After hearing Li Liuyun's words, the two little ones picked up the braised pork in their bowls and took a big bite. Mingyue's eyes lit up: "Brother, the meat is delicious."

Mingyue, her mouth full of meat, mumbled that it was delicious. Qingfeng swallowed the meat in his mouth, then shook his head like a little adult: "Mingyue, Grandfather taught us, 'Don't talk while eating or sleeping!' Have you forgotten?"

Hearing Qingfeng's words, Mingyue quickly swallowed the meat in her mouth, tugged at Qingfeng's sleeve, and pleaded, "Brother, I know I was wrong. Please don't tell Grandfather. Grandfather is very fierce. If he gets angry, he will definitely spank Mingyue's little bottom. It's all because this meat was too delicious. Mingyue couldn't resist."

Qingfeng nodded: "I understand, I won't tell Grandfather. You eat well." After saying that, Qingfeng put another piece of braised pork on Mingyue's plate.

Mingyue's face instantly brightened: "Thank you, brother! You're the best!"

Qingfeng nodded and continued eating. An Yi and Wushuang had been craving it for a long time. Seeing Nangong Li and Li Liuyun start eating, they couldn't wait any longer and reached for the plate of braised pork.

After finishing their meal, Li Liuyun helped the two children wash up, and then An Yi and Wushuang, along with Qingfeng and Mingyue, returned to their own room.

Just as Li Liuyun was about to return to her room, Nangong Li grabbed her hand and said, "Seventeen, don't be angry. I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? I'll never say those things to tease you again."

Li Liuyun snorted coldly: "If there's a next time, I'll drug you and make sure you can't do whatever you want!"

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Nangong Li's legs tightened, and she looked at Li Liuyun with a wronged expression: "Seventeen, you're being too cruel! What if there are any aftereffects? Your sexual happiness for the rest of your life will be in jeopardy!"

Li Liuyun smiled and said, "It's alright. If you can't take it anymore, I'll have my grandmother get me another one!"

Nangong Li grabbed Li Liuyun and pulled her tightly into his arms, spitting out two words through gritted teeth: "Don't even think about it! If you want to change men, I'll have to die!"

Li Liuyun originally intended to tease Nangong Li, but upon hearing Nangong Li's tone, he knew that he was serious.

Li Liuyun turned around and spat, "Pah! I was just kidding, don't you understand? What are you talking about, dying or something? Let me tell you, if you die, I'll immediately find ten or eight men. I can't let you be my widow!"

Nangong Li then realized that Li Liuyun was teasing him, and quickly apologized, "Seventeen, I was wrong. I thought you were serious! You don't know how much I care about you and our hard-won relationship. I would rather die than give you to someone else!"

Looking at Nangong Li's current appearance, Li Liuyun realized that he had gone a bit too far with his joke.

Li Liuyun cupped Nangong Li's face in his hands: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have joked with you like that! Don't worry, how could our fate of meeting from modern times to ancient times be so easily broken?"

Perhaps we'll be like the protagonists in a novel, bound by fate across several lifetimes—who knows! I just hope it's not a tragic love story! And the bond between us can't be dissolved with just a few words.

After hearing Li Liuyun's words, Nangong Li embraced her again: "Seventeen, I don't know why, but after hearing what you said, I feel inexplicably sad and have a slight pain in my heart. I always feel that one day you will not want me and will leave me! Seventeen, promise me, never leave me. Okay?"

Li Liuyun could hear a hint of unease in Nangong Li's tone, which puzzled her greatly. In terms of status, position, and appearance, Nangong Li was a perfect candidate and should be full of confidence. Why would he have such emotions?

Li Liuyun stepped out of Nangong Li's embrace and looked directly into Nangong Li's eyes: "Nangong Li, did you do something to betray me?"

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Nangong Li's eyes flashed with surprise: "Seventeen, what are you talking about? When did I do anything to wrong you?"

Li Liuyun grabbed Nangong Li by the collar: "You better tell me honestly, are you secretly keeping a mistress? Or have you cheated on me? Otherwise, how can you say you're afraid I'll leave you?"

Nangong Li was both amused and exasperated by Li Liuyun's words: "Since I was thirteen, I've been on military campaigns. Later, I was poisoned and returned to the capital. An Yi and the others can testify that there wasn't even a female mosquito in my residence until I met you."

After we confirmed our relationship and got engaged, the women I saw most often at the Prince of Huainan's residence were you and my mother. I never even went to the secret guard camp. How could I have had time to cuckold you or keep a mistress?

Hearing Nangong Li's words, Li Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief and released Nangong Li: "It's best if you haven't done anything to betray me. If you dare to do anything to betray me, I will never forgive you in this lifetime! I will never look at you again, and then we will never see each other again in this life!"

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's last words, Nangong Li felt a sudden, inexplicable pang of pain in his heart. A voice seemed to echo in his mind: "Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish. I wish you a long and happy marriage. Nangong Li, I will never see you again in this life!"

Nangong Li pulled Li Liuyun close and said, "Seventeen, don't worry, I will never do anything to betray you in this life. But I also hope you can promise me that if we have any misunderstandings in the future, or if you see something you shouldn't have seen, you must believe me and not easily believe what others say. Also, you must give me a chance to explain, okay?"
