Chapter 218: The Goblin

Chapter 218

Zhao Changdu held her nape tightly, closed his eyes for a moment, and felt hot and tense all over.

Moreover, the little girl had grown into an enchanting beauty. Her eyes were wet, and the charm between her brows was enough to take one's breath away.

Gu Ying leaned against him. Her slender, fair fingers gradually became damp with sweat and extremely hot.

Zhao Changdu's breathing grew heavier.

That slender waist would be the end of any man.

He heaved a muffled sigh, caressing the smooth, jade-like skin on her waist. His voice was low and hoarse to the extreme.

"Gu Ying, you really are a witch."

...

A few days later, the court had prepared supplies and Zhao Changdu took the Qilin Army to depart for Yueyang.

Ye Qingchi, the youngest imperial censor from the Censorate, also went along.

Before leaving, Gu Ying specifically made him a pair of boots and a sachet, and put in a talisman for safety.

After the man received the gifts, he was extremely reluctant to part with her and kept asking her to make love.

Gu Ying already had feelings for him so she naturally did not reject such passionate intimacy.

She had experienced indifference in her previous marriage and neglect from Jiang Yin. This was the first time she met someone as... for a while, she felt somewhat unaccustomed.

She had always believed that she would no longer feel anything for men.

But whenever she was with him... she could deeply feel that her heart was burning hot.

She was willing to bloom for him, and willing to let her heart be warmed under his fiery kisses.

On the day the two men departed, Gu Ying went to see them off.

In the carriage, the man stroked her tender cheeks.

Gu Ying's face was slightly red, but she still remained relatively calm. In the small space, she nestled in his arms and could feel his heavy breathing.

Zhao Changdu's eyes were dark and profound. He said hoarsely, "I will be back in a month at most. You must be careful at home. I am leaving Huo Qiyun to you. For any matter, you must consult him before making a decision, do you understand?"

"Mm... I understand."

"You must protect yourself well. Nothing else matters."

"Alright, I know."

The man looked at the girl's sensible eyes and gave a low laugh. "And remember to miss me."

"I know," Gu Ying's eyes turned cold. "I'll be careful around him."

Not just careful, she wanted to properly meet with him too.

She wanted to know if he really reincarnated like her.

After sending off the Crown Prince and Cousin, Gu Ying took the carriage straight to the Ye residence.

Uncle is temperamental. Knowing she had come, he didn't enthusiastically welcome her but later when Auntie said, "You know, he was overjoyed in his room! He changed his clothes three, four times before coming out to see you!"

Gu Ying's nose turned sour when she heard this and her eyes grew wet.

"Uncle... Ah Ying was in the wrong before. I won't distance myself from the Ye family anymore in the future."

Ye Zhuohua glared at Qin. "Nonsense! Who said I was overjoyed! Ah Ying is my Ye family's child. Coming home is just like any other normal visit. Why would I be especially happy!"

"Don't listen to your Auntie. She's always been brazen and loves to exaggerate!"

Qin retorted unhappily, "It's just your temperament, I don't even know why I was attracted to you back then! Hmph!"

"If you weren't attracted to me, who else could you be attracted to?"

"I can be attracted to whoever I want, what's it got to do with you?"

"You dare! Who else dares marry you apart from me?"

"Ye Zhuohua! How bold of you!"

The couple quarreled aggressively, neither willing to back down.

Gu Ying, with red-rimmed eyes, also laughed. "Alright Uncle, stop pretending to be tough."

Qin held Gu Ying's little hand excitedly and laughed. "That's right, however silver-tongued you may be in the imperial court, can you win against me at home?"

Ye Zhuohua held his forehead, feeling that he had completely lost face in front of his niece. "You, you, Ah Ying is still here! Can't you give me some dignity?!"

Doting on one's wife seems to run in the Ye family bloodline judging by how afraid of madam this is.

Gu Ying heard that paternal grandfather is already ninety years old but he still fears paternal grandmother!

After the meal at the Ye residence, Gu Ying's heart felt soft and warm. Apart from marrying the Crown Prince, she felt that nothing was happier than reuniting with family.

Just before leaving, Ye Zhuohua was on the verge of tears.

As an elder, he couldn't lose face. If Gu Ying had not taken the initiative to visit today, the knot in his heart would remain unresolved.

Now that they have cleared up the misunderstanding, all is well.
