Teasing the First Dragon at the Start

Just as they were about to take action and drive this arrogant man away.

The curtain was lifted, and a young man dressed in exotic clothing stepped out.

"grown ups……"

The guards at the gate were taken aback when they saw the young man's familiar face. They then hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Welcome back to the manor, sir."

Bai Su glanced at the man, a smile appearing on her face, and asked, "Is Her Highness the Princess currently in the residence?"

The guard nodded and said, "His Highness Hu Yu is currently in the residence with His Highness Fu Su, enjoying warm tea together. Shall we go and inform him?"

Bai Su shook her head slightly: "No need for now. I'm tired from the journey. I'll go and change my clothes, have a cup of tea, and rest for a while."

"Yes."

The guard dared not say anything, opened the gates, and welcomed Bai Su into the mansion.

The commotion outside attracted the attention of many people.

Yu Ji was carrying fruit and walking along the corridor when she heard footsteps. She subconsciously looked up and froze.

The fruit plate fell to the ground, the porcelain shattered instantly, and the fruit rolled all over the ground.

She parted her lips slightly and said blankly, "M-My lord, you're back. Am I dreaming?"

Seeing the incredulous look on her face, Bai Su smiled and walked over, pulling her into his arms. He admired the faint fragrance emanating from her hair and said, "This is not a dream. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Yu Ji lay in Bai Su's arms with her eyes closed for a long time before slowly raising her head and looking at Bai Su with her bright eyes: "My lord, you must be tired from your journey. I will prepare hot water for you so that you can take a bath and relax."

Just as Bai Su was about to speak, she suddenly saw a slender figure flash by in the distance.

Although he quickly hid in the room, he still recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this Hu Yu?

However, seeing that Hu Ji was angry and avoiding him, and being quite tired from the journey, he decided, after being warmly welcomed by Yu Ji, to take a bath and change his clothes before going to see Hu Ji later.

Inside the room.

Bai Su lay in the bathtub, her eyes slightly closed.

Although the bathing area was much smaller than in Rome, it was actually more comfortable and enjoyable.

The reason is quite simple...

Yu Ji cut the fruit and fed small pieces to Bai Su.

Behind him, his twin maids, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, were wiping his back with their fair hands.

A mature woman and two twin little girls meticulously served him, making him extremely happy.

After pondering for a long time, Bai Su suddenly asked, "How has Hu Yu been feeling lately?"

Yu Ji paused in her hand holding the fruit. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "His Highness Hu Yu has been eating and drinking as much as he wants lately, and he hasn't been eating less. But every time he does, he takes a knife and keeps stabbing the fruit."

"Your Highness is cursing at me, and she looks at me like I'm her enemy. What did you do to make Her Highness so angry...?"

Bai Su's eyelids twitched involuntarily as she listened to Yu Ji's words; it seemed Hu Ji was quite angry.

Yu Ji tentatively asked, "My lord, shall I go and try to persuade them for you?"

Bai Su shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "A true man dares to take responsibility for his actions. How can I trouble you with such a matter? I will go and face it myself later."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji didn't say much. She virtuously walked to the side, folded the clothes that Bai Su had taken off, and changed her into a new one.

......

......

The other room.

Compared to the simple and plain Bai Su's room, the decorations here are exceptionally luxurious.

A screen with exquisite embroidery of birds and animals was placed to one side, and fine blue and white porcelain was displayed in the corner.

The finest rouge, sourced from India and the Western Regions, was packaged in an ivory-carved powder box, exuding an air of luxury throughout the room.

At this moment, two women were sitting on the soft bed.

She was dressed in a plain black dress, with a shapely figure and stunning beauty. Her rare heterochromatic eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. She sat on the bed with her arms crossed and an angry expression.

Beside her sat a woman dressed in a white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with a slender figure, delicate shoulders, and a small waist. Her belly was prominently protruding, and her dignified demeanor carried a hint of maternal warmth.

It was Hu Yu and Fu Su.

Fu Su gently touched her belly, glancing at Hu Su, who was sulking, with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you hear that Bai Su was back and you were going to pick him up? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Hu Yu snorted and pouted, "Who...who wants to pick him up? I just want to see if he's dead or not."

Fu Su gently bit her red lips and said, "After Bai Su found out you were angry, he rushed back from Rome overnight. He was very tired from the journey. When he got back, he found that you were avoiding him. He must have been very upset."

Hu Yu snorted coldly, a hint of shame and anger flashing in his heterochromatic eyes: "If he hadn't done such a thing, why would I be here? It's all his fault."

As she spoke, she glanced down at Fu Su beside her, whose pregnant belly made her feel even more aggrieved.

She was clearly Bai Su's lawfully wedded wife, but now her older sister and mother were both pregnant, while her belly remained flat.

Feeling wronged, resentful, and deceived, she wanted nothing more than to bite this wicked thing to death.

Fu Su sighed slightly, then said, "No matter how much you hate this shameless scoundrel, you'll have to live together in the future. You can't just cut ties with him completely and never see him again, can you?"

Hu Yu nodded first, then looked at Fu Su with some suspicion and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? You were clearly bullied by that bad guy, so why are you speaking well of him now?"

Fu Su touched her swollen belly and said helplessly, "Born into the royal family, one must first think about the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty. Only with the offspring of this shameless scoundrel can the stability of the Great Xia Dynasty be guaranteed."

"Moreover, although I hate him very much, I have slowly come to like him. Whether it is for the sake of the country or for the sake of the child in my womb, I can no longer live without him."

Hu Yi bit her lip tightly, and hesitated for a moment.

She was completely unwilling to sever all ties with Bai Su, but she also couldn't swallow her anger at the prospect of easily forgiving him.

For a moment, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and didn't know what to do.

Fu Su gently patted her shoulder and said, "Think about it slowly yourself."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Hu Yu and Fu Su were taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, may I come in?" Bai Su's voice came from outside the door.

Hu Yi's face lit up with joy at first, but just as he was about to get up, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't forgiven this wicked thing yet.

She grabbed the bedding, shrank inside, and muttered, "No, get out."

Chapter 488 We Each Call Ourselves

Outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Bai Su's face immediately showed a mixture of amusement and exasperation. He naturally did not take Hu Yu's words, spoken in a fit of anger, seriously.

After all, if she was really angry and didn't want to see him, why wait in the room?

He shook his head helplessly, pushed open the door, and went inside.

"I know."

The door made a soft sound.

Bai Su entered Hu Yu's boudoir, reached out and lifted the draped gauze, revealing a slightly protruding shape under the bedding on the bed, outlining a delicate silhouette.

It was obvious that Hu was hiding under the covers.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face. He walked straight over and sat on the edge of the bed. He could clearly feel that the blanket was pulled even tighter.

Bai Su reached out and tugged at the blanket, only to find it held tightly and wouldn't budge. She sighed helplessly, "I'm back. Don't you want to talk to me?"

Hu Yi didn't answer at all. She clenched her pearly teeth and red lips, shrinking into the quilt, seemingly not wanting to pay any attention to him.

Seeing this, Bai Su scratched her cheek and couldn't help but ask, "Are you still angry with me?"

Hu Yu was completely covered by the blanket, facing the direction from which Bai Su's voice came, his face full of gritted teeth. If he wasn't angry, was he supposed to be happy?

She trusted him so much, but this wicked thing actually betrayed her sister and mother...

Bai Su sat beside him, and after a long silence, she said, "This whole thing is my fault. If you're angry, hit me or yell at me, but don't involve others. After all, she's yours..."

Hu Yi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Stop talking, I don't want to discuss this matter."

Hearing Hu Yi's resentful voice, Bai Su seemed to realize something. He sighed and said, "Since you don't want to see me, then I'll leave."

Hu Yu suddenly pulled back the covers, revealing her rosy cheeks. She looked at Bai Su with surprise and asked, "Where...where are you going?"

Bai Su scratched the noodles with his fingers and said, "Since my lord doesn't want to see me, then I will naturally go to a very, very far place, such as Rome at the far west, where I will build water conservancy projects and dig canals, and not return to the Central Plains for twenty or thirty years..."

"No...no."

Hu Yi was taken aback and hurriedly refused.

What a joke! She felt a pang of sadness just from not seeing Bai Su for a few months.

If we can no longer see this wicked thing in twenty or thirty years, what's the point of her living?

Seeing her reaction, Bai Su couldn't help but smile slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

He feigned a troubled expression: "My greatest dream in life is to spend every day with a beauty as stunning as Your Highness Hu."

"If I could, I would give up everything without hesitation. It's just a pity that I have feelings, but Your Highness is unwilling. Your Highness, you don't need to say anything more. I will pack my bags and leave now, and I will never make Your Highness angry again..."

Hu Yi panicked for a moment, somewhat at a loss for words: "You...you and I..."

She didn't notice the subtle change in Bai Su's expression at all, and took his words to heart, not knowing what to do for a moment.

She was just angry, but he did something so outrageous. She was just throwing a little tantrum and asking him to comfort her, but why did it turn out like this?

The thought of the two of them being separated forever brought a surge of intense sorrow and grievance to her heart, causing her nose to sting and tears to instantly stream down her face.

Bai Su was startled when he saw the beautiful woman's tearful eyes, and hurriedly asked, "You... what's wrong?"

Hu Yi didn't speak. She bit her lips hard, lay face down on the pillow, and sobbed incessantly.

Seeing this, Bai Su quickly went over and hugged her tightly, comforting her, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have made you unhappy."

Hu Yu nestled in Bai Su's warm embrace, smelling the familiar scent and hearing Bai Su's familiar voice. His grievances intensified, and tears streamed down his face, soaking Bai Su's collar.

Bai Su patted her back, comforting her repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I won't leave. I promise I'll never leave, my sweetheart, my dear wife, my little princess..."

But Hu Yu kept crying, which made Bai Su panic and not know what to do.
