Chapter 178 Don't force it, don't complain, just be well with each other
Lu Ji raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose: "You have always loved crying, what's so strange about that."

The little girl said coquettishly, "I wet my clothes and cried, but you were laughing at me. Hum, it's really infuriating."

The man frowned: "So what? In the end, I took off my clothes and gave them to you. I went home shirtless and ran into my mother as soon as I entered the door. She even scolded me."

When talking about the embarrassing things that happened in their childhood, the little girl stood there, covering her mouth and laughing.

The moonlight was like water, and she stood there gracefully. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, so beautiful that it made people feel trance-like.

The man couldn't help but lean over and kiss her smooth forehead again, and his gaze towards her was even gentler than the moonlight.

"You've grown up without me noticing." The man's big hands rubbed her head, his tone doting but also revealing a hint of helplessness.

I still like her when she was younger, admiring him and depending on him, but now she has her own little thoughts from time to time.

How could she not miss their childhood days, when they were childhood sweethearts and lived a carefree life? He didn't have to worry about the family's future, and she didn't have to worry about other women trying to steal him away.

Just the two of them.

How good.

The little girl looked at her, her watery eyes filled with attachment, her heart was sad and helpless, but she still gave him a gentle and bright smile.

"It's a little cold at night." She opened her arms to the man: "Lu Ji, carry me back."

The little guy has always been the most playful, and he was slightly intoxicated just now, so Lu Ji thought he would definitely stick around and not go back easily. But seeing him like this suddenly, Lu Ji was surprised.

The man looked at her, still in a doting tone: "Why are you so well behaved today?"

The little girl smiled and said, "You've grown up."

As he said that, he leaped slightly and lightly jumped onto Lu Ji's back, saying in a playful tone, "What? You don't want to carry me?"

The man held him firmly with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows curved, but he hummed: "Didn't you say you've grown up? You still want me to carry you at every turn."

"I drank a lot today, and my legs are weak."

As she spoke, she leaned on his broad back and urged him playfully, "Zhu Bajie, carry your wife on your back. Hurry up and go."

"You are Zhu Bajie."

The man turned around and glared at the little girl on his back, then took a step forward.

The little girl lay obediently on the man's back, not knowing how long she could enjoy his tenderness. She cherished this moment, which made her body and mind intoxicated.

"Wang Fengyi came to look for me just now." Lu Ji said to her as he walked back with the little girl on his back.

"What did she say?" asked the little girl.

Lu Ji then told Qin Xiaoning about the palace mysteries that Wang Fengyi had mentioned. The little girl replied, "Now that you know this, it will save you effort when you do things."

As he spoke, he muttered to himself, "I never thought that an emperor who is at the highest level of the country would also have a weak spot."

Lu Ji smiled calmly upon hearing this: "Everyone has a weak spot."

"Do you have one?" The little girl tilted her head and peeked at the man: "What is your weakness?"

Lu Ji smiled, turned his eyes and glared at her: "My weakness is that I'm afraid you will make me angry, annoy me, and refuse to listen to me."

The little girl snorted and turned her head away: "You make it sound like I always annoy you."

"Is not it?"

"How many times have I offended you? I always give in to you, but you are the one who has a bad temper, is stubborn, and overbearing. You always ask me to be tolerant and accommodating, and you still have the nerve to criticize me."

But if you say one thing to her, the little thing can always retort a hundred times.

She is becoming more and more arrogant.

But Lu Ji likes it.

He liked the little thing's lawless appearance, which showed that she was fearless. Only when she felt at ease would she be willing to stick to him forever.

"Why are you silent?" Seeing the man silent, she seemed unsatisfied and hummed, "I think you feel guilty because of what I said."

Lu Ji couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that she had the upper hand, she became even more proud, and turned to scold him in a cold tone: "I'm telling you, you should control your temper in front of me from now on, otherwise if you make me angry, I will learn to deal with you like those shrews outside deal with men."

Lu Ji smiled and frowned: "You really have become more capable, huh?"

"You forced me to do that."

The girl became more and more courageous, and continued: "If you can have a better temper and be a gentle man, I will naturally be gentle to you. If you always have such a bad temper, I will naturally not be able to spoil you forever."

"Look around the house, is there any gentleman like you who gets cold-faced when things don't go your way, and always loves to scold people."

"The maids all call you the Cold-Faced Devil behind your back. Humph! I am the only one in the world who has a good temper and can tolerate you."

"I have said so much, you have to take it to heart and reflect on yourself."

"Did you hear that?"

She scolded until her mouth was dry, but no one responded, so she pulled the man's ear: "I said so much, did you listen to me?"

Lu Ji turned his eyes and said to her, "Which wife is as nagging as you?"

"I'm doing this for your own good," she said confidently.

The man smiled, carried her on his back and walked forward, then asked, "Wang Fengyi suddenly told me about the palace. Was it your idea?"

The little girl mentioned this to him just a few days ago, and Wang Fengyi dumped it out the next moment. Lu Ji didn't believe it was a coincidence.

When the little girl heard Lu Ji mention Wang Fengyi, she subconsciously frowned.

If you don’t like someone in your heart, your body’s reaction will be very honest.

"How could it be my order?" The little girl smiled bitterly and said perfunctorily: "She is my wife and I am my concubine. How can she listen to me?"

Lu Ji fell silent after hearing this. After a long while, he replied, "You have such a clever little head that you can always find a way to make others act according to your wishes."

She really wanted Wang Fengyi to tell her what she knew about what was happening in the palace.

To help Lu Ji.

In response to his own inquiries, Wang Fengyi did not tell the truth. Instead, he turned around and told Lu Ji in person, simply wanting to win Lu Ji's favor.

Fighting is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it.

This woman of noble birth, outstanding appearance and extremely intelligent is coming to compete with me for this man.

This is the most important person to her.

Seeing that she was silent, Lu Ji continued, "A Ning, I know how you feel about me, and I know even more about your wisdom and ability. Those vulgar women cannot compare to you. I will not let you down. In this competition, I will definitely be the final winner."

"When I'm strong enough, I want you to be my wife."

The little girl listened quietly to the man's promise.

She believed that he was not just lying to please her.

If there ever comes a day when he reaches the top, Lu Ji will definitely give her the best.

However, this process is extremely long and involves many challenges.

Faced with the overtures and competition from those outstanding women with ulterior motives, who can truly remain loyal and unwavering in their love?

Even Lu Ji is just a mortal.

She didn't dare to ask for these. Even if he eventually fell in love with Wang Fengyi and let her down, she would not blame him.

She has her own way of living.

In this unforgettable love, let's part ways amicably, without forcing or holding grudges, as long as both of us are well.
