Xia Xi finished making the last shirt for the children, he folded it neatly and planned to let Lan Duo'er send it to the An 'Eryuan the next day. When Lan Duo'er heard his movements, she presented brewed tea for him to drink and combed his hair before styling it up. Before she could put down the comb, someone came in from the outside.

Xia Xi was stunned when he saw who the visitor was. He never expected that Chu Lan would suddenly come at this time. After all, it had only been three days since he last came. But after thinking about it, he understood the reason, and couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Lan Duo'er stepped forward to salute, Chu Lan waved at her and excused her, he then ordered: "Don't come in tonight."

Chu Lan's garbs were those of an ordinary guard's again. Even in that kind of clothes, he was still particularly handsome. He was tall and strong, he filled the gap between them in two steps, preventing Xia Xi from trying to get up and salute him. He picked up the comb on the table and began combing his hair. Xia Xi hurriedly said, "My lord, there's no need..."

Chu Lan smiled softly: "I'm just helping you comb it, why so panicked?" Xia Xi pursed his lips and didn't speak, his eyelashes lowered slightly, he didn't actually look at his husband through the bronze mirror. Chu Lan noticed his abnormality, the corners of his mouth were drawn into a deeper smile. He pretended to be aggrieved: "What? Is it because I've been coming often and annoyed you?"

Xia Xi said in shock: "How could I dare."

Chu Lan laughed and threw away the comb, he stretched out his hands to pick him up and easily did so, plucking him from the stool he was sitting on and positioning him on his lap. He pinched Xia Xi's chin and forced him to raise his head to face himself, "Was I annoying? Huh? Can you let me know what I did wrong?"

A blush spread across Xia Xi's face, he tried his best to keep his eyes closed and whispered, "I dare not..."

Chu Lan leaned in and pecked his lips. He just half-pressed and didn't back away. From time to time, he stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked Xia Xi's lips, saying affectionately, "Tell me, what did I do wrong?"

Xia Xi's face was even redder, he resisted silently. Chu Lan didn't urge him, just wantonly licking his lips with the tip of his tongue, as if coaxing. The corners of his mouth and lip line was licked all over, all of it was stained with Chu Lan's drool. Xia Xi finally couldn't hold back after being licked this much. His eyelashes trembled, his eyes met Chu Lan's line of sight, and he asked softly: "When Hu Ji died... was it your flesh and blood in her stomach?"

This question had been lingering inside Xia Xi's mind for the past few days, and his discomfort reached its peak when Cai Huan deliberately showed off in front of him. Chu Lan didn't express surprise at his question, his expression remained the same, but he asked with a smile, "What if it was? Are you annoyed that I touched her?"

Xia Xi was startled, his heart was sour, but he couldn't help but think about it. After such a long time, he had already been mentally prepared. Chu Lan was the King. How could he expect this man to live his life loyal only to him? Xia Xi endured his sorrow and said: "No... if she really did have your child, why did you persecute her like this? I— I probably can't give birth, if she had given birth to the child..." He slowly said. Gradually, Chu Lan's expression changed, Xia Xi didn't speak any more, observing him a little nervously.

After a long time, Chu Lan said, "So you want me to be with other women because of this?"

Xia Xi was both ashamed and uneasy, nervously avoiding Chu Lan's scorching eyes, he whispered: "You are the King, you can't have no Queen..."
