Chapter 368: Chapter 356: Too Gentle Punishment, Punishing Lady Liangyuan

Shen Chuwei raised her head to look at Xiao Jinyan, pointing to the Night Pearl and said, "Your Highness, look how beautiful the light from the Night Pearl is."

Xiao Jinyan turned her in his arms to face him directly and reminded her again, "When we’re alone, call me Jinyan."

Shen Chuwei wrapped her arms around Xiao Jinyan’s neck, with her round belly pressed against his, and she said, "It’s been so long since I last called you that, it feels a bit unfamiliar now."

Xiao Jinyan thought about it and agreed; they had been apart for five months, which was too long.

"We’ve been separated for five months, and yet you stared at the Night Pearl unwilling to look away."

Perhaps it was the gentle glow of the Night Pearl, but she found Xiao Jinyan’s gaze at that moment unusually tender.

"I’m looking at you now, aren’t I?"

Xiao Jinyan huffed, "Too late."

Seeing that he was upset, Shen Chuwei took the initiative to lean in and kiss him, then stared at him without blinking, "Is it still too late?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at her rosy little face, his gaze resting on her slightly parted lips, "Not enough."

Hearing it wasn’t enough, Shen Chuwei took the initiative to kiss him again.

Suddenly, a large hand was placed on the back of her head, deepening their kiss.

The kiss lasted so long that Shen Chuwei’s face turned red.

Xiao Jinyan whispered huskily by her ear, "Is this okay now?"

Shen Chuwei nodded with a flushed face, "Just be careful, and it will be okay."

He had guessed that Little Ninth had medical knowledge, so she should understand this as well; he didn’t expect she really did.

Five months had passed, longing both in heart and body.

Xiao Jinyan kissed the tip of her nose, "I’ll be careful."

Compared to the past, Xiao Jinyan could definitely be considered gentle this time, though there were moments when he couldn’t control himself.

Xiao Jinyan kissed her, "Little Ninth, call my name."

Shen Chuwei looked into the man’s reddening eyes and softly called out, "Jinyan."

Xiao Jinyan, satisfied, bent down to kiss her lips.

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan’s sweaty arms, as fair as a woman’s; the five months of sun tanning created a noticeable difference between his handsome face and body, but it didn’t affect his attractiveness at all.

Xiao Jinyan evened out his hurried breathing, noticing Little Ninth’s gaze staying on him, he asked with a hoarse voice, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Chuwei’s slender fingers touched his face, even the palms sweating, "Your face was so white before you left."

Xiao Jinyan’s eyes stilled; he was well aware that his skin had darkened due to sun exposure.

"What? Do I look bad now?"

"You still look very handsome, it’s just..." Shen Chuwei looked him up and down, observing the noticeable difference between the skin above and below his neck.

Xiao Jinyan pressed, "Just what?"

"It’s not important, it will heal with care." After their intimate moment, Shen Chuwei was now extremely sleepy, even though Xiao Jinyan was gentler than ever, it was still a workout.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his head, using the light of the Night Pearl to carefully observe her belly, her round belly had a texture not as soft as before, making it hard to imagine there were two babies inside.

Shen Chuwei saw what Xiao Jinyan was doing and reminded him, "Jinyan, the babies are moving, listen."

"Really?" Xiao Jinyan, curious, pressed his ear to her stomach and listened for a while, clearly hearing some movement, which he found even more wondrous.

Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan lying on her belly and suddenly had the inspiration to draw, planning to sketch this scene when she had some free time.

After listening for a while, when Xiao Jinyan looked up at Shen Chuwei, he found her already dozing off, he lay back and watched her sleeping form for a good long time.

He kissed her forehead and fell asleep as well.

Having not slept well while on the road, Xiao Jinyan had only dozed lightly in the afternoon, and now easily slipped into deep sleep.

The next day, as the sun rose gradually, Xiao Jinyan slowly awoke, this sleep being the most restful he had in the past five months.

He turned to look at the person beside him; she had a rosy complexion, sleeping soundly.

Once Shen Chuwei woke up, they had breakfast and then went to Fengyi Palace.

Fengyi Palace

The Empress sat on the throne, dignified and graceful, wearing a Phoenix Crown and Phoenix Robe, every bit the personification of the master of the six palaces.

On the surface, the noble and gentle Empress, in her heart, was incessantly cursing the dog Emperor, she thought she was so capable just a few days ago? Now that the truth was out, and it was time for punishment, she had been left with the mess.

That dog Emperor, truly a good-for-nothing.

When Xiao Jinyan entered with Shen Chuwei, he heard the Empress cursing the Emperor, something he had grown accustomed to; if Mother didn’t curse Father in her heart, it would really mean the sun had risen from the west.
