The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

The storm had just subsided, and the crabapple blossoms, which had been ripened too soon, swayed in the wind, their heads soaked.

The feeling was like being electrocuted; it didn't hurt, but every bone in my body felt numb.

At the last moment, he saw a flash of white light and a red mark on Wei Zhao's back from being scratched by fingertips.

He hadn't yet pulled away when he noticed the girl's unfocused gaze and unnaturally flushed face, and he chuckled softly.

Yu Tingwan couldn't speak, but she still used all her strength to hit him with the hammer.

But why would Wei Zhao feel pain?
He buried his face in the girl's neck, showering her with delicate kisses: "Does it feel that good?"

Yu Tingwan was embarrassed and annoyed. Just as she was about to tell him to leave quickly, she heard a tentative knocking sound from outside.

Although it was a test, Youhu couldn't control his strength and made a lot of loud banging noises.

There were only a few people serving Lanyuan back and forth.

Who but a tiger would dare to knock on the door like that!
Before Yu Tingwan could even get nervous, Wei Zhao patted her back reassuringly.

"Even if you knock on the door until it breaks, it will panic and dare not go in."

This is the bedroom. Walking in, you'll find the dining area, furnished with rosewood tables and chairs. Further in is the office area, and only after going around the screen is the inner room.

Even if the door is wide open and someone passes by, they won't see this place.

Fu Meng outside was eager to see Wei Zhao, and its tail wagged happily.

It squatted at the doorway, waited for a long time, and then, unable to bear it any longer, raised its tiger paws again.

"Bang bang bang."

The door panels were shaking.

The blue crows flew over at that moment.

It didn't hold a grudge and was overjoyed to see Fu Meng. It circled three times above the tiger's head.

"coming."

"I'm earlier, earlier than you."

The crow said gruffly, "You bastard, you've kept me waiting!"

"Having four legs and still being inferior to me? What am I going to do? This is so useless, I might as well just cut it off."

Then the following ones, I don't know where they learned them from.

"You usually act recklessly and cause trouble, but someone always cleans up your messes, which makes you even more fearless. Tell me, what progress have you made? When it comes to real action, you're nothing!"

Yes, it was not long ago that Lady Ningguo, the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo, scolded Ning Yunling.

Fu Meng: ? ? ?
He was about to yell.

It was clear that there was no movement inside, for fear of disturbing Wei Zhao. He reached out and grabbed the blue crow tightly.

"oops."

Blue Crow: "Help!"

"It hurts, it hurts so much."

Yu Tingwan was originally going to enjoy the excitement, but upon hearing these words, her body inexplicably tensed up.

But this only elicited a muffled groan from Wei Zhao.

Yu Tingwan: What's wrong with you?

He paused, his Adam's apple bobbing, "I don't feel any pain."

He said softly, "But ultimate pleasure."

When Yu Tingwan woke up again, it was eerily quiet outside.

I felt lazy and listless.

Wearing embroidered shoes, she endured her soreness and weakness as she went outside.

Yu Tingwan wanted to ask Tan Jiang and Wei Zhao if they had gone out again, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw the man lying on the rocking chair.

He was dressed in a long, dark robe, his figure as graceful as jade, like a slender bamboo. In the bright spring sunshine, he half-closed his eyes, his toes occasionally lightly touching the ground, causing the rocking chair to sway.

He possesses the refined elegance of a noble young master, yet his martial prowess remains undiminished.

The two can coexist without contradiction.

Fu Meng was squatting beside him.

As Wei Zhao picked up a walnut from the side, Fu Meng instinctively offered his large head to him.

Wei Zhao gently tapped its hard head. The walnut cracked open, and he extracted the whole kernel. Looking at the small plate on the coffee table next to him, he saw that almost a whole plate of them had already been peeled.

Yu Tingwan: ...

Oh, I didn't know... it could be used like this.

Fu Meng was extremely pleased with himself at that moment!

It looked over at Yu Tingwan, its eyes revealing a hint of provocation.

See, the master still needs him!
It! Tiger stuff has so many uses!
I don't know how someone like Yu Tingwan, who can't lift a finger or carry anything, can get a place in the master's court!
Is her head big enough to crack walnuts?!
No!

But this thing! It can not only crack walnuts, it can even smash a hole in a wall with its head.

Thinking of this, Fu Meng arrogantly raised his chin at Yu Tingwan.

Yu Tingwan walked closer, picked up a piece of fruit, and put it in her mouth.

Fu Meng: ? ? ?
No?

Why should I? Under its incredulous gaze.

Yu Tingwan asked Wei Zhao quietly, "Was it peeled just for me? Was Fu Meng really not included?"

Yu Tingwan: "I'm so embarrassed."

Fu Meng: ?

That's infuriating.

Wei Zhao: "If it wants to eat, it will peel it itself."

Fu Meng felt that this statement was wrong, but he couldn't find any fault with it.

It snorted coldly.

It's a good tiger that doesn't need Wei Zhao to worry about; it's self-sufficient!
How could she be a delicate little thing like Yu Tingwan? She accidentally bumped into a wall once, and it was only a little red and swollen, yet she had the nerve to apply medicine and bandage it.

Wei Zhao: "The Duke of Zhou's mansion sent someone to deliver an invitation to the full moon celebration."

It was originally sent to Ning Suchan's place.

Given Ning Suchan's status, it was just a baby's one-month celebration, and she didn't plan to go in person. She would just have her subordinates send some congratulatory gifts later.

But then again, since Yu Tingwan had just come to the capital, he thought that by taking this opportunity to represent the women of the Wei family, he could also make some acquaintances.

Before Wei Zhao could send Shunzi to fetch it, the invitation was delivered.

It's finally here!
Yu Tingwan: "Is Mother going?"

"Don't go."

Yu Tingwan understood and nudged Wei Zhao.

"Let me lie down for a bit."

Bold!

so rude.

Fu Meng: "Roar!"

Wei Zhao got up and sat down on a stone bench to the side.

After lying down, Yu Tingwan picked up some walnut kernels to eat and turned her head to look at Fu Meng.

"Come closer."

Fu Mengcai ignored her.

Yu Tingwan beckoned to it in a friendly manner.

Fu Meng didn't know what she was going to do. But reluctantly... he decided to give Yu Tingwan some face and moved closer to her.

Yu Tingwan estimated the length and realized it was within reach.

She smiled at Fu Meng.

The light fell on her, making the girl glow like a pearl, radiant and captivating.

Fu Meng, however, was unimpressed.

It's just a tactic to curry favor with it.

Yu Tingwan reacted quickly, tapping the walnut on its head.

The walnuts are broken.

Fu Meng: ?
When Wei Zhao knocked on it, it eagerly tried to prove its importance.

It's only natural!

Why should Yu Tingwan be allowed to do this?!

It's angry!

With menacing eyes, he was about to teach Yu Tingwan a lesson.

"You won't know until you try it, and then..."

"I really envy."

Then Yu Tingwan sighed, "You have a good head."

"I just can't do it."

Fu Meng: !
Of course!

Yu Tingwan: "Qingya is even less effective."

Fu Meng agreed.

What can that silly bird do besides chirping all day?

It glanced at Yu Tingwan sideways.

Just be envious!
She could only watch with envy.

Fu Meng was immediately appeased. It was extremely proud and also felt that what Yu Tingwan said made a lot of sense.

It raised its paw and tapped the walnut next to it, then willingly offered its head over.

Useless things.

Come on! Keep hitting!
Time and again, you will realize how inadequate you are!

People always need to compare to know things!
I'll make you so sad you'll die!
