If Ye Si didn’t like her and turned her down in front of the princess, she would be too embarrassed to live.

  “Don’t worry, Ye Si certainly wouldn’t dare refuse in front of me.”


  Gu Bailu believed that she still had some influence as a princess.

  The maid was shocked. Why did the princess know what was on her mind?

  “Because your feelings are written all over your face.” Gu Bailu smiled.

  Feng Qingtian rubbed her cheeks. “I think you’re describing yourself. Did you level up again? My hard work last night paid off.”


  Gu Bailu looked at him in surprise. “Can people really level up so fast through sex?”


  “I don’t know about other people, but we certainly can, because we’re meant for each other,” declared Feng Qingtian proudly.

  Gu Bailu rolled her eyes.

  She had never seen anyone brag about himself as naturally as he did.

  Ye Si soon arrived. “My lord, what can I do for you?”


  He was rather anxious, as he was only a lowly guard for the front hall from the Ye family.

  He was flustered by the unexpected summons.

  “Do you know this girl?” The princess pointed at the maid next to her.

  Ye Si looked at the blushing maid and nodded. “I do.”


  “Do you like her?”


  Ye Si looked at the princess in surprise, wondering why she was asking such a trivial question.

  “I do.” However, he still replied honestly.

  “Then take her in.” Gu Bailu waved her hand. “She can stay by my side from today onward.”


  “Ah……” The maid’s jaw almost hit the ground.

  How did she get so lucky?

  “You heard the princess. You can go now.” Feng Qingtian poured chicken soup into Gu Bailu’s bowl. “Have some more. You need to replenish your energy.”


  Gu Bailu obediently had the soup. Then, she suddenly remembered that neither she nor Feng Qingtian had used any protection. What if she got pregnant?

  “Did you control yourself?” asked Gu Bailu worriedly.

  “Control myself?” Feng Qingtian was confused.

  “I might get pregnant.”


  Feng Qingtian shook his head. “No. We’re lawfully wedded husband and wife. Why would I control myself?”


  Rather, he wished for her to bear him a child sooner, so he certainly wouldn’t control himself. Besides, he would be distracted during climax if he were to control himself, and he wouldn’t be fully satisfied.

  “Ah!” Gu Bailu rose and said angrily, “You didn’t control yourself? I’m not on any medication yet!”


  “What medication?”


  “Contraceptives.”


  Feng Qingtian smacked her bottom and said, “That’s harmful. Don’t ever take that.”


  “You hit me? You didn’t control yourself and you hit me?” Gu Bailu looked at him in disbelief.

  “Why should we control it when we’re a couple? A child isn’t bad, anyway. After all, you won’t be able to escape from me for the rest of your life,” said Feng Qingtian matter-of-factly.

  He could allow her to guard her heart, but he wanted everything else that was expected between a husband and a wife.

  “But……” But what would she do if she was driven away after she had a baby?

  She didn’t want her child to have a stepmother, nor would she ever leave her child.

  “It’s non-negotiable. Just let nature take its course about the baby. You can’t take any medication.” Feng Qingtian grew solemn.

  Gu Bailu felt depressed, but she felt that it wasn’t entirely unreasonable. She was his wife, anyway.

  After taking so much advantage of him, it would seem shameless if she didn’t pay him back.
