Gu Bailu kicked his calf. “Pervert.”


  Feng Qingtian laughed and picked her up. He touched her butt and said, “It must be painful here. I’ll rub it for you later.”


  Although he was teasing her, it did hurt.

  Gu Bailu felt that her belly was much heavier, and the bumpy carriage ride had really been unbearable.

  When Prince Zi returned with Princess Zi, everybody in the residence greeted them cheerfully.

  Gu Bailu felt embarrassed. She was already an adult, yet she had actually run away from home and created such an uproar.

  However, nobody in the residence dared to say anything about it.

  “Welcome back, Your Highness,” the butler announced loudly.

  Gu Bailu buried her head in Feng Qingtian’s arms. “Hurry up. It’s embarrassing.”


  Feng Qingtian sniffed. “You know shame now? Let’s see if you dare run away again.”


  Gu Bailu shook her head. “No, I don’t dare anymore. Let’s go in.”


  Feng Qingtian finally carried her to the pink cottage. Gu Bailu immediately relaxed. This was her home.

  She liked the flowers and plants in the yard; even the eaves of the roof were in a shape she liked.

  The bedroom was full of her favorite furniture. They were pink, beautiful and spotless.

  Everything was exactly the same as when she had left, as if she had still been on the couch that morning and went out after drinking two cups of tea.

  Feng Qingtian put her down on the couch on her side and gently rubbed her bottom. “I’ll massage it for you; it’ll feel better soon.”


  Actually, Feng Qingtian had also helped give her a massage in the carriage, but it wasn’t as easy to do as on a couch. It also wasn’t easy to find the acupuncture points in a jolting carriage.

  The pain really was a little unbearable for Gu Bailu. She nodded and enjoyed her man’s considerate ministrations.

  Feng Qingtian massaged her seriously without any ulterior motive, and Gu Bailu fell asleep.

  Feng Qingtian rubbed her nose and kissed her. After he had his fill, he carried her to the bed.

  Outside, Qin Shou asked, “My lord, do you need food?”


  Feng Qingtian opened the door and whispered, “The princess is asleep; we’ll eat a little later. Are they back yet?”


  “They’re back. They arrived yesterday, and I arranged for her to stay in the teahouse as the princess instructed. The princess can meet with her at any time.”


  Feng Qingtian nodded. “Bring her here first.”


  Gu Bailu would certainly want to see her after she woke up.

  After Qin Shou left, Feng Qingtian cleaned the room and wiped Gu Bailu’s face and hands with a handkerchief.

  Finally, he could sleep easy. His home, his bed, and his woman were enough for him; he was content.

  In the last few days, he had been wondering if he still wanted the power of Heavenly Palace Cliff and to take revenge for the past.

  The answer was no; as long as they didn’t ruin his happiness, he would let bygones be bygones.

  However, if they still had the audacity to come after the two of them, he absolutely wouldn’t let them go.

  Gu Bailu didn’t wake up until the evening. More precisely, it was her growling stomach which forced her to wake up.

  When she woke up, Feng Qingtian kissed her drowsy eyes. “Do you want to sleep a little longer?”


  Gu Bailu squinted and shook her head. “No, your baby is hungry.”
