After listening to Xuexue's explanation, Long Rui immediately laughed and said, "Wife, what you said is really insightful, every sentence hits the core."
Xuexue smiled proudly, "Of course."
Long Rui gently pulled Xuexue into his arms, inhaling the scent emanating from her body. Unlike the strong rouge and face powder worn by most women, she had a faint body scent, very fresh and quite enchanting.
In the carriage, the two of them said nothing, quietly embracing each other, savoring the warmth of the moment. Outside, the sound of horse hooves and the carriage driver's shouts made it feel like they had returned to the serene days in Mo Family Village.
After a while, Long Rui rubbed his chin on top of Xuexue's head and gently called, "Wife?"
"Hmm."
"Were you afraid being alone in the Imperial Palace?"
"Not afraid, you know, I have my space. If anything happens, I can hide in there."
"You're thinking too simply. Sometimes unexpected events don't give you time to hide."
