Gu Jiao was taken aback by the sudden action, but she didn't resist.

When he clasped the back of her head with his scorching palm, she seemed to have been frozen stiff.

Her pair of eyes was wide open and she let his movements overtake her.

In both lifetimes, she had never had this kind of intimate contact with anyone, nor had anyone ever been so presumptuous in her presence.

Her code name was Shadow, the organization’s killing machine. She liked to collect handsome guys, but her hobby never went beyond the level of admiration, treating them just like some beautiful display to appreciate. It was because G.o.dfather told her that men were poison— bitter and astringent, so just put them in a gla.s.s case to admire.

But tonight, she tasted the poison.

It was soft, moist, and with a hint of flower-brewed wine. It was the sweetness that belonged to him alone. It wasn’t at all bitter.

G.o.dfather lied to her.

Men were delicious.

...Oh, not right, HE was delicious.

The night was gentle and the moonlight was soft.

Gu Jiao gently pressed him down the bed and held his chin with one hand. She stared at him for a moment, remembering the taste of just now, and the corners of her lips slightly bent upwards.

Xiao Liulang fell asleep, his chest heaved gently as even breathing escaped his nose.

The young man's body, which was full of vigor and vitality, was akin to a fierce sun, burning the whole room as if it was struck by a heat wave.

Was he asleep? Then he wouldn’t be able to hear what she would say.

Gu Jiao darted her eyes around, lay down, and wrapped her small arm around his waist. She then chuckled wickedly in his ear, and said enticingly, "Brother's waist is not a waist, but a scimitar that harvests lives."

Xiao Liulang breathed evenly.

Gu Jiao glanced at his long, slender legs next, and made her two fingers walk on it mischievously. After doing that a few times, she continued to say in his ear, "Brother's legs are not legs, but the spring water by the riverside."

Oh, her voice was a little loud!

She tucked her little head under the quilt.

Xiao Liulang still slept soundly.

After making sure that he wasn't woken up, Gu Jiao emerged from under the quilt, moved close to his ear again and whispered, "You, really, taste, good."

Then she lay down beside him, closed her eyes and fell asleep snoring.

In a half asleep, half awake state, she felt a hot breath leaned over, and her lips were gently pressed by something again.

Oh, it must have tasted so good that she was even dreaming of it.

……

What Gu Jiao didn’t know was that she really had a dream after she fell asleep.

She dreamed of Xiao Liulang again. It wasn't any unspeakable scene, but a scene of Xiao Liulang going to the imperial palace to attend the Lu Ming Banquet.

Lu Ming Banquet was a banquet hosted by the Emperor for the majority of Jinshi on the following day after the publication of the Jinshi list. First was to congratulate the scholars of the State of Zhao for pa.s.sing the imperial exam and becoming a Jinshi; the second was to show that the Emperor was courteous to scholars. At the same time, it also forged a relationship between the Emperor and the Jinshi, that no matter where they had studied before, after the banquet, they were all disciples of the Son of Heaven, the Emperor.

Xiao Liulang becoming the Zhuangyuan despite his poor and humble background provoked many red-eyed people. As the saying went, fame came at a price, the more popular one was, the more people would feel jealous and find him an eyesore.

In the first half of the dream, Xiao Liulang was being ridiculed by some people, but Xiao Liulang himself didn't care, so strictly speaking, it wasn't much of a big deal. But soon, Xiao Liulang was summoned by the Crown Prince.

On the way to the East Palace, a white cat suddenly fell from the tree and landed on Xiao Liulang's shoulder.

It was also only through this dream that Gu Jiao learned that Xiao Liulang was afraid of cats. Xiao Liulang instinctively threw the cat off. The cat, thrown to the ground, let out a cry and then jumped away as if frightened.

Just then, Ning w.a.n.gfei happened to pa.s.s by.

The frightened cat b.u.mped into Ning w.a.n.gfei's stomach and knocked her down at once. Ning w.a.n.gfei was three months pregnant, and her pregnancy wasn’t going well. With such a fall, the baby was gone.

The white cat was frightened because of Xiao Liulang. Xiao Liulang was inevitably charged with the crime of murdering the imperial grandson. After only one day as a new Zhuangyuan, he was stripped of his t.i.tle by the Emperor and was imprisoned.

This kind of situation was the most frustrating. Because even the Emperor knew that Xiao Liulang didn't do it intentionally, but, so what if he didn't? Though accidental, he still ended up killing people, didn’t he?

Such were the imperial laws, he could only blame his own bad luck.

Gu Jiao held her breath while in this dream. It was rare that she wasn’t awakened by the biological clock in her body.

It was dawn when she opened her eyes, and Xiao Liulang was no longer in the room. But the Zhuangyuan robe on the chair showed that he really rested here last night.

Gu Jiao dressed up and went to the well to draw some water and wash herself.

But then she saw that water had already been prepared for her. It was in her copper basin, with her towel on the edge of the basin. The water surface was slightly steaming, as if it had just been poured in.

Grannie Fang came over with a basket of dried chili, looked back at the kitchen, and said to Gu Jiao with a smile, "Guye prepared it. When he heard the noise in your room, he immediately prepared warm water."

Gu Jiao: Husband is really nice.

Xiao Liulang came to help Yao shi who was cooking in the kitchen at the moment. Yao shi made him his favorite walnut biscuits yesterday, but Xiao Liulang came home late and didn't get to eat them, so she got up this morning to make them for him again.

However, Yao shi didn’t let Xiao Liulang help her. How could she let him still work in the kitchen now that he was a Zhuangyuan?

Since that was the case, Xiao Liulang just went to do other things, like watering the vegetable fields and cleaning the chicken coop. In short, he simply refused to stay idle, and she could do nothing about it.

Soon, all the family members got up one after another. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun congratulated their brother-in-law, while Little Jing Kong rarely didn’t find fault with him. After all, the flower hairpin was really beautiful.

Among the three flower hairpins, the Zhuangyuan’s flower hairpin had the most complicated workmanship and the best quality, so it was the most beautiful.

If he became a Zhuangyuan, he could get such a beautiful flower hairpin. Little Jing Kong equated the two in his mind and became more and more determined to become a Zhuangyuan in the future.

At this moment, no one knew that the original purpose of the G.o.dly General of the six states for aiming at the Zhuangyuan position was just to get a beautiful flower hairpin.

The elderly woman gave Xiao Liulang a red packet, and also gave one to Gu Jiao.

The elderly woman’s principle for handing out red packets was that, if Liulang had one, JiaoJiao also had one, if Liulang didn’t have it, JiaoJiao still had it.

The family sat at the table and had their breakfast.

Xiao Liulang sat across from Gu Jiao, and their interaction was no different from usual, especially Xiao Liulang who still wore a serious look and a pair of cold eyes, as if he had no recollection of what had happened while he was drunk last night.

Little Jing Kong was eating a plate of small steamed buns. Suddenly, he c.o.c.ked his head sideways and let out a sound of surprise, "JiaoJiao, your mouth and brother-in-law's mouth are both so red. What did you two eat?"
