The Emperor Is Dead
Just as Bai Wutong was feeling vexed, Chu Tianbao’s eyes suddenly lit up. His gaze landed steadily below her.
Bai Wutong followed his gaze and looked down. At some point, her scattered collar revealed a patch of snow-white skin, dazzling under the flickering and dancing flames.
Chu Tianbao watched intently. The moment he raised his hand to touch it, Bai Wutong’s mind exploded. Her face instantly turned red and she said angrily, “What do you want to do?!”
Chu Tianbao was shocked by Bai Wutong’s sudden question. He retracted his hand and asked innocently, “I want to touch it.”
Even though Chu Tianbao’s brain was damaged, men and women still had a natural attraction.
Moreover, this person was Bai Wutong, who treated him very well every day.
Bai Wutong was simply defeated by him, yet he still had the cheek to say it!
If it wasn’t her but someone else, Chu Tianbao would be no different from a hooligan.
She glared at him and warned fiercely, “Do you think you can touch a woman’s body just because you want to?! If you dare to have such thoughts about others, I’ll chop off your hand.”
Chu Tianbao pursed his lips and glanced at her. He said gloomily, “Can’t I have such thoughts towards my wife too?”
Bai Wutong replied without thinking, “No!” She was not his real wife.
Chu Tianbao muttered aggrievedly, “My wife has clearly touched Tianbao before. Why can’t Tianbao touch you?”
Bai Wutong was stunned for a moment, her mind racing. When had she touched him?
She suddenly remembered that she had indeed touched him many times when she was changing his dressing.
But how could this be compared to this! freewebnovel.co(m)
Bai Wutong sat up and said angrily, “You were injured. I was just changing your dressing!”
Chu Tianbao even learned how to argue. “Even so, my wife has touched Tianbao.”
Bai Wutong was about to explain to him the importance of the difference between men and women when she suddenly realized that she was sitting on Chu Tianbao’s tight waist. Chu Tianbao’s hand was still holding her waist.
Bai Wutong was stunned.
The word “ambiguous” hit her mind without warning. It was like a numbing electric current hitting her chest, and her breathing quickened for a moment.
Chu Tianbao sensed that something was wrong with Bai Wutong’s expression and naturally hugged her.
“Wife, what’s wrong?” He asked worriedly and guiltily, afraid that Bai Wutong was angry with him.
Bai Wutong forcefully suppressed the loss of control in her heart and struggled out of his arms. She crawled into the blanket silently, leaving only the back of her head that revealed her long black hair to Tianbao.
Chu Tianbao panicked. Was his wife really angry?
He moved closer to Bai Wutong and poked the blanket with his well-defined fingers. He asked carefully, “Wife? Are you angry?”
Bai Wutong responded with silence.
It was as if she really did not want to bother with him anymore.
Chu Tianbao hurriedly hugged her back and promised in a panic, “Wife, I won’t touch you anymore. I won’t touch you even if I want to in the future.”
His deep voice caressed her ear. She didn’t have to look to know how panicked and upset he was.
“Wife, wife…” freew ebnov el
After a long time, Bai Wutong sighed as if she couldn’t do anything about him. She turned around and leaned into his arms, comforting him gently. “I understand. Go to sleep.” What would he know? Instead, she should be the one who should pay attention to the boundaries.
Chu Tianbao grunted and closed his eyes in peace with Bai Wutong in his arms.
Suddenly, Lin Yue’s anxious voice came from outside the door. “Master, Madam, are you already in bed?”
Bai Wutong got up from Chu Tianbao’s arms and asked with a frown, “What is it?”
Lin Yue didn’t want to trouble Bai Wutong, but he had no other choice, and said, “Young Master refuses to drink the nanny’s milk. Even after feeding him with a water pouch, he still won’t stop crying. He’s probably not used to the nanny’s care.”
Bai Wutong pushed Chu Tianbao’s arm away and said to the door, “Carry Stinky in.”
Lin Yue hurriedly thanked her and asked the nanny to bring Stinky to the main room.
Stinky had been carried over by the nanny while crying. He was usually obedient, but now his voice was hoarse from crying.
Bai Wutong hurried a few steps to take him.
When Stinky’s swollen red eyes saw that it was her, his cries immediately stopped. It was so fast that the nanny was dumbfounded.
She had tried her best to stop this little young master from crying and failed. But Bai Wutong did not even coax him and he had stopped.
She was indeed his biological mother.
Bai Wutong placed him on the bed to play. Chu Tianbao leaned over and poked his chubby face. “Stinky, why aren’t you sleeping?”
Stinky held out his meaty little hand and Chu Tianbao picked him up. “You want me to put you to sleep?”
“Ah pu… Ah pu…”
Chu Tianbao seemed to really be able to communicate with him. He hugged Stinky and said helplessly and dotingly, “Then you have to sleep quickly. My wife is going to sleep too.”
His unintentional words made one feel even more touched.
A trace of imperceptible change flashed across Bai Wutong’s eyes. She quietly stared at Chu Tianbao as he hugged Stinky and sang his self-created lullaby. “Stinky is so obedient… Stinky is so handsome… Stinky is the best-looking one in the world…”
Probably because of the change in environment so that the bed was too comfortable, Stinky started to crawl around after being placed down. In order to prevent him from rolling out of the bed, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao lay down and still had to spare some attention to watch over him.
Chu Tianbao coaxed him several times. Bai Wutong asked the maidservant to warm his milk and feed him. After changing his diaper, Stinky finally fell asleep.
His little belly was heaving, and his chubby, whistling face was drooling. The little thing was too cute.
Bai Wutong couldn’t help but lean over and kiss him.
She looked up and saw Chu Tianbao looking at her with sparkling eyes. He whispered expectantly, “Tianbao wants it too.” His wife had never kissed him before. He was so envious.
The smile on Bai Wutong’s face froze. She wanted to refuse, but when he met Chu Tianbao’s pure gaze, for some reason, her words were stuck in her throat.
A moment later, Lin Yue knocked anxiously on the door again.
As if she had been granted amnesty, she asked Chu Tianbao to take care of Stinky and got out of bed to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Lin Yue said to her, “Madam Bai, Captain Ye and his nephew are here.”
It was late at night. Ye Wu and Huang Zhong must have something important to tell her.
Bai Wutong hurried to meet her guest.
Captain Ye’s arm was injured, and his entire family had come with bags. Bai Wutong frowned and asked, “What happened?”
Captain Ye said with a pale face, “The current emperor has died. Duke Ping’s men are taking over the Beiyun City. They are counting the population and assets from every family now. Madam Bai, quickly pack your things and leave the city with me at dawn!”
Bai Wutong’s expression instantly changed. Duke Ping was actually so ruthless as to directly kill his own brother. How much hatred did he have!
“Why would they attack you?” Bai Wutong was puzzled.
Captain Ye said helplessly, “With the change of regime, the Beiyun City is an important place. Duke Ping naturally has to replace the manpower with his own people to be at ease. If I don’t leave, my family won’t be able to survive.”
Without hesitation, she immediately instructed Lin Yue, “Wake everyone up and pack up. The sooner we leave the city, the better!”
