Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 812: Chapter 812: Do You Miss Me?
 

“What did they all say?”

“It’s said that the incident reached His Majesty in the afternoon, and He was very angry about Zhao Heng killing Marquis Cibai. Those people took the opportunity to present the relationship between you and Zhao Heng, even listing ten charges to exaggerate the issue…”

Di Yelei seemed to be organizing his thoughts, speaking with some hesitation, “But, you don’t have to worry about this. No one is clearer about the matter between you and your big brother than His Majesty. These people took this issue to criticize vehemently in the Golden Luance Palace, and even dragged many officials into it. They pressed His Majesty step by step, forcing him to become angry on the spot, not fearing their own means of livelihood would be lost.”

His hand unconsciously glided along her arm, his mellow voice resonating in her ear, carrying a dash of intoxicating warmth.

This made Liu Sisi smile happily, her eyes gleaming like rippling spring water.

“They really have the audacity. I’m quite curious, what they will say at tomorrow’s early morning session?”

The longstanding grudges between Zhao Dun and Zhao Wu, now Zhao Jiong and His Majesty, were certainly not something His Majesty wished to be laid bare under the public gaze. Yet these court ministers weren’t giving up, most likely they would not end well.

This comment made Di Yelei laugh too!

“I’m just waiting to watch the excitement at tomorrow’s early morning session.” The fervor in his gaze made Liu Sisi shiver.

A warmth surged from the tips of her toes to her heart, causing it to thump wildly, and her face quickly flushed with a hint of crimson.

Such a shy, timid smile instantly melted Di Yelei’s entire heart.

His heart warmed, his hands couldn’t help but slowly slide down her snowy shoulder…

Liu Sisi’s heart jolted, instinctively wanting to escape, but she couldn’t match his strength.

He could hardly control himself as he pressed down fiercely…

A tingling sensation raced through her body, and Liu Sisi felt flustered and chaotic, resisting instinctively, yet that seemed to deliver herself more into his hands.

With a somewhat joyous voice, hearing herself also made her flush with shame.

“Sisi, Sisi…”

Di Yelei felt he was about to melt into her tenderness; her body was so delicate and tender it seemed unbelievable, so seductively soft he feared he might break her slender waist or damage her with a careless move.

But she was so intoxicating he could not bear to let go, and so he called her name again and again, weaving his fingers into her silken hair.

“Ye Lei.”

Liu Sisi passively accepted his advances, burying her face in his shoulder. Her large, watery eyes were full of entreaty, her red lips quivering incessantly.

Di Yelei smiled somewhat proudly, his movements becoming even more unbridled…

“Stop it.”

Her body was softer than before, no longer able to bear such torment, and she bit down on his shoulder.

The pain in his shoulder startled him slightly, but feeling her even more passionate response, he laughed softly, chuckling by her ear.

“I didn’t realize you still had the strength. It seems your husband hasn’t worked hard enough.”

His movements quickened, becoming more willful.

“Di Yelei!”

Her voice carried a hint of pleading.

Di Yelei lifted his head, the smug smile on his face especially piercing, as he looked at her almost melting into his arms, he couldn’t help but ask a question that had been circling in his mind.

“Do you miss me?”

This war had lasted for years, and whenever he had a moment to spare, he would stand on a nearby piece of higher ground, gazing in the direction of Gongzhou City. There, lived the woman he cared about the most, his children, and his home!

Liu Sisi’s face turned a deep shade of red. He actually asked her if she missed him in such a situation?

Was it him that she missed? Or was it something else…

At that thought, Liu Sisi’s entire face reddened as if it was about to drip blood.

“Sisi, during these years I was away, did you miss me?”

His voice was very low, carrying an indescribable meaning, as his scorching gaze fixed unblinkingly on her.

Missing him seemed like a question that didn’t even need consideration.

In the years he was gone, at first, she had been busy mourning, busy dealing with the bandits that took the opportunity to cause trouble in Macheng County, busy coordinating affairs between the civilians and officials, busy handling the academy’s tragedy, Ms. Zhao’s affairs, Liu Zhi’er’s affairs, Ah-Bao’s affairs… and taking care of the children!

She was busy!

So busy that she had no time to think of him!

Yet, in every midnight dream, he would sneak into her dreams…

Upon waking, she would sit lonely at the head of the bed, hugging her shoulders, thinking of his warm embrace, thinking of such intimacy where you are in me, and I am in you, thinking of being cherished, treasured, spoiled by him so carefully…

She hugged his neck tightly, pressing her face against his, and slowly closed her eyes.

Di Yelei’s burning gaze almost didn’t blink as he looked at her, holding his breath in anticipation of her answer.

But after waiting a long time, he didn’t receive the answer he wanted, and his heart began to grow restless and uneasy.

He gently tugged at Sisi’s arm, but instead of releasing him, she held him even tighter. He couldn’t help but wrap his hand around her more tightly, gently kissing the tip of her hair, her eyebrows, her earlobes, mumbling urgingly.

“Sisi, Sisi, my Sisi…”

With his gentle calling came his increasingly fervent caresses. Liu Sisi felt as though her entire body was melting, her originally memory-filled thoughts being forcibly pulled back by him, her face burning hot, as she murmured a word, barely audible.

“Miss.”

Her voice was very soft, but Di Yelei heard it clearly.

His body shook!

All movement suddenly ceased, and his eyes, fervent as fire, gazed steadily at her, the brilliant radiance in the depths of his eyes as if it wanted to devour her whole.

“Sisi…”

His words carried a tipsy quality, disbelief, and a hint of hesitation and restlessness, causing his entire body to also tremble slightly, lacking his usual regal stride and his invincible aura!

At this moment, he was just an ordinary man, the man of her, Liu Sisi!

Liu Sisi, holding back her cheeks reddened as if bleeding, lifted her face to meet his burning gaze, nodded seriously, and smiled, like a proudly blooming peony, clutching his broad shoulders, deliberately blowing air into his ear.

Her breath as fragrant as orchids, “Miss! Ye Lei, I miss you so much! My heart aches…” Her voice was as clear as ever, each word distinct.
