Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan paused, quickly averting her gaze and awkwardly waving her hand, saying, "No...no...you go to the bar first, I'll sit here and keep you company..."

Mo Ting chuckled softly and slowly walked into the pool.

Jiang Qingyan walked to a stone bench and sat down, resting her chin on her hand with satisfaction as she stared at Mo Ting. She couldn't help but think to herself: such an obedient and perfect man, he'll be hers from now on. Just looking at him is a pleasure, let alone actually tasting him…

Feeling the intensity of Jiang Qingyan's gaze, Mo Ting felt a surge of satisfaction. His husband was so infatuated with him; he certainly wouldn't abandon him…

The steam from the pool made Mo Ting feel very comfortable. He slowly closed his eyes and unknowingly fell asleep in the pool.

At that moment, Ling Feng's voice came from outside the door: "Is the Emperor inside?"

Thinking that Ling Feng must have finished making Liang Cheng's things by now, Jiang Qingyan excitedly ran out.

"Is Liang Cheng's stuff ready?" Jiang Qingyan asked Ling Feng anxiously.

Ling Feng nodded, took out four small square boxes engraved with the auspicious dragon and phoenix design from his pocket, and handed them to Jiang Qingyan with both hands.

Jiang Qingyan couldn't wait to open a small square box, inside which was a pure gold ring carved into the shape of a heart. She then checked the other three boxes, which also contained pure gold heart rings of different styles.

Jiang Qingyan nodded in satisfaction, inwardly praising Liang Cheng's craftsmanship: This ring is even better than those made in modern jewelry stores!

Ling Feng stared at the ring in Jiang Qingyan's hand. It looked like a thumb ring, yet it was so small and exquisite. He asked in confusion, "Your Majesty... what is this?"

Jiang Qingyan glanced at Ling Feng and said mysteriously, "This is called a lifelong promise..."

After saying that, he picked out a ring and put it in his pocket, then handed the other three rings to Ling Feng and instructed, "Keep these for me for now, and I will ask you for them when I need them."

After saying that, he whispered something to Ling Feng and then took out a blueprint from his waist and handed it to Ling Feng.

“Yes…” Ling Feng carefully took the box and blueprints, cupped his hands in greeting, and turned to leave.

Thinking that Mo Ting was still asleep in the pool, Jiang Qingyan hurriedly returned to the stone cave, but Mo Ting was not in the pool, and his clothes were also gone.

Jiang Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Empress Dowager, that old witch, had sent someone to harm Mo Ting again? Thinking this, Jiang Qingyan's face filled with worry, and she shouted loudly into the stone cave, "Mo Ting, where are you? Come out quickly, don't scare me..."

After a few seconds, seeing that there was still no response, Jiang Qingyan hurriedly searched carefully in the cave. It wasn't until she walked deep into the cave that she saw that dark figure.

Mo Ting was seen squatting in the corner, his hands on his shoulders, his head buried in his knees, and his whole body trembling.

Jiang Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly ran over, bent down and hugged Mo Ting tightly, saying anxiously, "Mo Ting, why did you come here without saying a word? Don't you know I was worried?"

Mo Ting gently pushed Jiang Qingyan away, his voice trembling slightly, "You abandoned me again..."

Jiang Qingyan frowned slightly, "I didn't abandon you!"

Mo Ting bit his lower lip, looked up at Jiang Qingyan, his eyes slightly red, "I saw it all just now. You were smiling so happily at that man. You left me to see him..."

Jiang Qingyan was completely confused. Which man? Could Mo Ting be referring to Ling Feng?

Jiang Qingyan found it somewhat amusing. Although Mo Ting had lost his memory, his jealousy was exactly the same as before.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyan was actually smiling, Mo Ting became even angrier. He turned his head away from Jiang Qingyan and put his head on his knees again.

Jiang Qingyan patted Mo Ting's head and patiently explained, "That was my guard. I just asked him to do something for me, and he did it very well, which is why I smiled."

Mo Ting raised his head, pursed his lips, and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Really?"

Jiang Qingyan chuckled and nodded. "Really."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ting's eyes flickered, and the frustration in his heart instantly dissipated. He stood up and hugged Jiang Qingyan tightly, murmuring in her ear, "I know that there are many women in my husband's harem waiting to be favored, and I won't be so foolish as to monopolize you. But you also promised me that you wouldn't leave me while I'm asleep. You are the emperor, and your word is law."

Hearing Mo Ting say this, Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. It turned out that Mo Ting was so insecure...

Jiang Qingyan gently patted Mo Ting's back and said softly, "Let's go back first. Soaking in the hot spring is very tiring, and you'll be hungry soon."

Mo Ting nodded and said coquettishly, "I want to eat what my husband makes for lunch. Breakfast wasn't good at all..."

Jiang Qingyan chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll cook for you myself."

The afternoon sun was particularly scorching. After lunch, a strong drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed Jiang Qingyan, and she fell into a deep sleep while holding Mo Ting.

Perhaps because she was too tired recently, Jiang Qingyan slept until dark. She yawned and slowly got up from Mo Ting's arms, but Mo Ting grabbed her arm.

"Is my husband going to leave again while I'm asleep?" Mo Ting asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Qingyan was startled by the sudden voice beside her, and frowned, clutching her chest, saying, "I'm innocent! I just wanted to get a drink of water..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ting coughed lightly, quickly got out of bed, poured Jiang Qingyan a glass of water, and handed it to her, saying, "Husband, please drink it quickly..."

Jiang Qingyan took the cup and drank it all in one gulp, then let out a long sigh and got out of bed.

She glanced out the window, thinking it was about time, then took Mo Ting's hand and said mysteriously, "I'll take you somewhere."

Mo Ting nodded blankly and followed Jiang Qingyan towards the seaside.

Before even getting close, Mo Ting saw a path made of candles. Full of curiosity, Mo Ting followed the path until he reached the heart-shaped archway filled with red roses before stopping.

Mo Ting looked at the archway in surprise, then turned around excitedly and waved to Jiang Qingyan, "Husband, come and see! There's a heart-shaped door here!"

Jiang Qingyan smiled, strode up to Mo Ting, took out the heart-shaped ring from her pocket, and gazed at Mo Ting affectionately as she confessed:

"Mo Ting, I've loved you for a long time, but due to various unforeseen circumstances in the past, I couldn't protect you... But I swear, from this day forward, I will never let you suffer any harm again. Through sickness and health, I will always love you. Will you... marry me?"

Mo Ting was taken aback by Jiang Qingyan's sudden confession. The person in front of him was not only his husband, but also the emperor, the ruler of a nation, who was actually proposing to him...

Seeing that Mo Ting hadn't answered for a long time, Jiang Qingyan became a little anxious. "Mo Ting, are you still angry with me?"
