The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Zheng Kaicheng lowered his head under her gaze, as if he was troubled by this question and fell into serious thought.

Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly. What man in this world could accept not having children of his own?

Even if they are not your own children, as long as you raise them, they are yours!

Just like those concubines in the harem, didn’t they all steal other people’s children to raise?

There are two insurmountable chasms and mountains in front of them.

Power and offspring are symbols of a man's desires and status, and no one will give them up willingly.

As if she knew his decision, Zhao Xuan didn't feel too disappointed. She should have known it a long time ago...

Zheng Kaicheng pulled Zhao Xuan, who was about to leave, and held her hand against his chest. "I was just thinking, if you asked your grandmother what you said just now, what would she say?"

Zhao Xuan had heard of the grandmother he mentioned many times from Gu Jinchu.

She was a woman of great courage and ability.

Although she knew from the palace people that the Zheng family's family rules stipulated that a man could take a concubine only if he was over 40 and had no legitimate son, they still cared about their offspring.

"So?" Zhao Xuan looked at him, "What do you want to say?"

"My grandmother would say that you are yourself first, then you are a mother and a wife."

Zheng Kaicheng held her hand, not letting her back down, and said firmly, "Look, offspring is not the most important thing to her. The Zheng family does not need me to continue the bloodline. Besides..."

He held Zhao Xuan's hand, his honey-colored face blushed, and he stared at her with deep eyes and said:

"Maybe one day, I will get old and lose my temper, and I will no longer be able to drive out those who covet the princess. Then you will lose interest in me. In the final analysis, it is me who is insecure..."

Zhao Xuan felt her ears buzzing and could no longer hear what Zheng Kaicheng was saying.

Under the influence of drugs that day, the entanglement between her and Zheng Kaicheng allowed her to see his body under his clothes.

At this moment, the body under her palm was tense. Even though there was clothing between them, she could still feel the tension of his muscles.

She always thought that she liked literati like Zuo Hongwen. But when she met Zheng Kaicheng for the first time, she realized that there was no definition of love.

Zheng Kaicheng possesses both the elegant temperament of a scholar and the handsomeness, free and easy manner, and magnanimity of a military general.

Ever since he left the princess's mansion for the last time, Zhao Xuan told herself that if he continued to be so obsessed with her, she would never give him the chance to leave.

Zhao Xuan raised her beautiful eyes slightly, raised her toes, pulled down Zheng Kaicheng's neck, gently bit his ear and said:

"As long as you dare to take this step forward, I will never let you lose!"

......

Gu Jinchu was holding a pillow in her arms, her fair and smooth face was faintly flushed, her delicate and tempting lips were slightly upturned, and she was sleeping soundly.

When Jiang Nansheng came back from morning exercise and entered the inner room, what caught his eye was her charming, cute and adorable appearance.

He stood beside the bed, bent down, reached his hand into the quilt, and carefully held her little feet.

Gu Jinchu felt the warm big palm, her little feet moved restlessly, and then she clamped his hand.

Feeling dissatisfied, she reluctantly got into bed and pulled him up inch by inch by holding his hand.

Jiang Nansheng was pulled by her to half-kneel on the bed. He took off his shoes helplessly and followed her into the bed.

He was still slightly sweaty, and after being covered with the brocade fur coat, he felt like a human furnace, making the bed steaming hot.

After all this ordeal, Gu Jinchu opened his hazy eyes, muttered something uncomfortably, pulled down the brocade fur coat in front of him, and found the most comfortable position for himself.

His hot big palm clasped her lower back without any obstruction.

Gu Jinchu lay on top of him, resting his head on Jiang Nansheng's shoulder, and could smell a slight scent of sweat amidst the faint ebony scent on his body.

His clothes were damp and clung to his skin, like a second layer of skin, outlining the perfect muscle lines on his body.

His muscles were tense after morning exercise. Gu Jinchu frowned slightly uncomfortably, then raised his head to meet his kiss on the center of his eyebrows.

"Do you have a headache? Do you want to take a bath with me?"

His voice was hoarse and low, sounding in his ears, causing Gu Jinchu to squint his eyes and shake his head.

I pressed my cheek against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. I raised my arms and passed them through his armpits. I then climbed up his broad arms from behind and hugged him tighter.

She tried to speak but her throat was dry and hoarse, so she whispered like a moan: "A headache and a bath are obviously two different things."

Jiang Nansheng took the hand from her waist, put one arm around her, supported his body with the other hand, and sat up from the bed with his waist and abdomen.

He leaned against the bed, and the two of them maintained the same position as before, letting her continue to sit on him.

Gu Jinchu stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, her head still a little dizzy. When she woke up completely, every detail of what happened last night gradually emerged in her mind.

My grandparents’ hotpot restaurant opened last night and it should have been a lively event, but the eldest prince was seriously ill and the opening ceremony had to be cancelled.

This did not affect the gathering of several young people, and the atmosphere did not become tense or awkward because of the participation of the eldest princess. Instead, it added a bit of casualness and ease.

In this pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, she couldn't help but join everyone in having a few drinks.

I came back a little late last night, and the two of us had some ridiculous fun...

She moved her body slightly, trying to find a more comfortable position, but she didn't expect that this small movement would cause a reaction from Jiang Nansheng.

He shuddered slightly and let out a low gasp.

Feeling the changes in Jiang Nansheng's body, her face flushed slightly, and she raised her hand to close his open collar to cover the bite mark on his collarbone.

Gu Jinchu hugged Jinqiu to his chest and carefully moved him off him, his body stiff and not daring to move.

Her fair shoulders and collarbones were covered with red dots, as bright and dazzling as blooming plum blossoms, exposed to the air without reservation.

She opened her eyes wide, her watery pupils sparkling, and looked at Jiang Nansheng with clarity and vigilance like a little deer.

Gu Jinchu remembered that he asked for water twice last night. While she was tossed and turned to fall into a deep sleep, Jiang Nansheng was still energetic.

How long had he slept? He had just gone for morning exercise, so why was he...

Jiang Nansheng leaned there and looked at her with a smile. After a long while, he whispered, "Jinchu, when I'm alone with you, I always can't control myself..."

For some reason, last night always gave him the feeling of having lost something and regaining it, yet being unable to stop.

He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, "I won't let you get hurt, never..."
