The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 369 I've grown to like you exceptionally much.
The moon was bright and the stars were few; the night was growing darker. The corridors were winding and overgrown, with lanterns hanging above them swaying gently, casting a faint glow.

The shadows of the trees swayed gently, clearly carpeting the ground.

The air of the spring night was shrouded in a thin mist, as if even the corners of my eyes were being veiled in it.

Wei Zhao's figure was tall and slender, and he kept walking. Instead of taking the main road, he took a shortcut along a dark path, where the night was dim and the path was hard to discern.

Yet he could accurately discern directions, knew where each step was, and walked with extreme stability.

As a child, his schedule was too tight.

He was always sleepy. In order to sleep a little longer, he would jog to the main courtyard to pay his respects to Ning Suchan.

After paying my respects, I had to go to the Imperial College.

Can't be late.

Ning Suchan forbade him to rely on those around him, so he rarely let the servants carry him.

Once he was in the carriage heading to the Imperial Academy, he took out his food box and ate his breakfast while reading.

Lan Garden and the main courtyard are too far apart, hence this narrow path. I don't know how many times he walked it before he could make his way forward in the dark.

The brightly lit main courtyard behind him disappeared into the night as he walked away.

It was too dark on the way, and no one could see the emotions in his eyes. He didn't say anything, but just held the person in his arms tighter.

I don't know how long we walked, but there were bright lights ahead.

The closer he got to Lan Garden, the dark darkness was driven away and replaced by light. Just like in his childhood, it illuminated his way home time and time again.

Yu Tingwan remained quiet throughout the journey.

Wei Zhao thought she was asleep.

I don't plan to wake her up.

He intended to get some hot water to wipe the man down. But no sooner had he entered the room than Yu Tingwan, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly touched the man's face.

"I have a wish in this life."

Wei Zhao was not startled by her sudden action. Instead, he turned and headed towards the washroom.

Seeing that the water in the bathtub was getting a bit cold, the temperature needed to be adjusted. Wei Zhao told her to get down and stand properly.

Yu Tingwan paced back and forth with her hands behind her back, looking serious.

"I want to sleep on gold."

Yu Tingwan: "I'm tired of sleeping on that couch in the room."

She glanced at the owner of the couch; this one wasn't cloying. She was also willing to share half the space, allowing Wei Zhao to lie down on the gold as well.

Seeing that the man ignored her, Yu Tingwan went over and poked his shoulder.

"It's up to you."

Wei Zhao stood up and said calmly, "You said the other day that your wish was to eat another bowl of steamed sweet cheese."

Yu Tingwan was unhappy when she heard this.

You didn't answer.

"It's almost time to eat. You've already had a bowl of water. If you eat any more, you'll miss your proper meal."

Yu Tingwan's eyes darted around.

I can't hear you. I can't hear you.

She did nothing wrong, she did nothing wrong.

Wei Zhao: "You said yesterday that your biggest wish in this life is for me to be gentle and not go too deep during sex."

Yu Tingwan then had something to say.

"You didn't answer either!"

She was never one to be shy, let alone now. She looked up and met the man's gaze without even blushing.

Yu Tingwan: "Don't you know how hard it was for me to swallow that?"

"That's how it's supposed to look; it's scary to look at."

"What if I break?"

"It won't break."

Wei Zhao's voice became hoarse as he reached to untie her belt: "Yaoyao, you can do it."

His lips landed on the girl's rosy lips.

"It's awesome."

Whether it was the steamy bathroom that blurred her vision and made her face flushed, or the lingering effects of the alcohol in her stomach being released by the heat, causing her to feel hot, she didn't know.

Yu Tingwan belatedly realized that she was feeling dizzy and began to feel sleepy.

But that doesn't stop her from raising her chin.

She loves hearing people praise her.

Wei Zhao concluded: "He has a lot of wishes."

Yu Tingwan slapped his hand as he unbuttoned his shirt.

It was fierce and menacing.

Why are you taking off my clothes?

"Give you a bath."

Then she wouldn't understand.

"I have hands and feet, why should I need your help?"

Yu Tingwan covered her collar and narrowed her eyes: "Even though we're husband and wife, we still need to maintain proper boundaries." Wei Zhao: ...

He withdrew his hand and looked at her calmly.

"Then do you do it yourself?"

Yu Tingwan's face was tightly scrunched up.

"Why should I do it myself? Can't you even handle this little thing?"

Wei Zhao:? ?

She started to walk out.

"I'm sleepy."

"I'm going to sleep now."

He had only taken a few steps when someone grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, she didn't struggle and took the opportunity to bargain softly.

"I want to sleep on the mountain of gold that night."

Wei Zhao glanced at her sideways and took off his outer robe: "You're quite daring."

"Do I look like the turtle in the wishing well outside the Buddhist temple?"

It's clear the girl really wanted it.

She didn't hesitate.

"picture."

"They look exactly alike."

Wei Zhao:? ? ?
He was so angry he almost laughed.
The man sneered and removed her undergarments.

No one knew better than Wei Zhao that the girl had a beautiful figure, fair and smooth skin, and a round and plump body.

He also knew that touching certain spots would make her tremble uncontrollably.

But Wei Zhao carried her into the bathtub.

"If you drink again, you're dead."

Clearly, Yu Tingwan was not afraid.

Her jade-like arms, as smooth as freshly peeled lychees, rested on the edge of the bathtub. Her eyes, like autumn water, were innocent yet alluring. Her beauty mark, glistening with moisture, shimmered.

She was very provocative.

"That really scared me."

Wei Zhao no longer wanted to pay attention to the drunkard and focused on wiping himself.

I just wanted to get her washed quickly and put her to bed.

But his gaze was intense, not missing a single part of the girl's body.

Yu Tingwan pouted.

The two were very close together. The bathroom was dimly lit, and the man's thick eyelashes cast a shadow, making his delicate features appear even more striking and profound.

Yu Tingwan blinked, raised her hand, and took off the jade crown from his hair.

Wei Zhao frowned slightly, but did not speak to stop him.

He possessed a calm and composed demeanor, exuding elegance and tranquility. His slightly sparse, dark hair, clad in white robes, contrasted with his pale, sickly face, which held a touch of alluring charm.

"Wei Zhao."

Yu Tingwan spoke softly: "You may not believe it, but you are a little more handsome every day than the day before, and today you are even more handsome."

I don't know if it's because I've seen it so many times that it's become pleasing to the eye or what.

Yu Tingwan still thought that tall, dark-skinned men were more talented and handsome than people like Xiao Huaiyan and He Xuran.

Can……

There's clearly no change.

The more she looked at Wei Zhao, the more she felt that he was growing into the very heart of her.

"But I'm different."

Wei Zhao raised an eyebrow, thinking she was going to praise her own beauty.

Unexpectedly, her voice was very soft.

"That's enough, it's fine as it is."

She smiled sweetly at him, a smile that seemed to bewitch his soul and was captivatingly charming.

"I've grown to like you very, very much."

Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback.

The cotton cloth in his hand fell into the bathtub, but he didn't pick it up in time.

Yu Tingwan had said too many sweet words to him.

But only this one sentence made his heart burn with heat and made him lose his composure.

Yu Tingwan, however, was completely unaware of the situation and said softly, "I know, maybe I've put you in a difficult position."

"But you have to listen to what I say."

"I want to sleep on gold."

"What's wrong with satisfying me? After the lights are out at night, aren't you still the best?"
