Chapter 169 You'd Better Really Know
Shen Fuhan remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
Wen Jiayue looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What does Your Excellency want to say?"
"It's about coming home late."
Shen Fuhan gave a brief explanation.
Wen Jiayue listened without any outward expression, but a slight ripple stirred within her heart.
It was indeed a small matter, but when small things accumulate, they become a thorn in one's side.
The thorns are soft, yet difficult to remove. They are usually unnoticed, but can occasionally cause injury.
She rarely cares about this anymore in this life, but she remembered it for a very, very long time in her past life.
At that time, she was always anxious and worried, wondering if he didn't like her, if he hated her, or if he didn't treat her as a real wife.
She always took the blame upon herself, but now that the truth is out, she realizes it wasn't her fault at all.
If she had asked first, if Shen Fuhan had explained to her like he did this time, the outcome might have been different.
Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Fuhan asked, "What do you think?"
Wen Jiayue then looked at him.
For her, whether Shen Fuhan reported it or not was no longer important.
But then I thought, knowing that he had visited the princess's residence a few times didn't seem to be a bad thing.
So she changed her words and said, "If the Marquis returns late in the future, please send someone to let him know in advance."
Shen Fuhan breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Okay."
After washing up, Wen Jiayue asked the wet nurse to bring Zhaozhao over.
Zhao Zhao is almost seven months old and can already crawl. Today she was especially energetic, crawling around on the bed.
She was putting all her effort into her little hands and feet, and her little bottom was sticking out; she looked incredibly cute no matter how you looked at her.
Wen Jiayue smiled and patted her lightly. Zhao Zhao thought her mother was encouraging her, so she climbed even faster.
Fearing she might fall, Wen Jiayue immediately stopped teasing her and stared intently at her.
When Shen Fuhan came out of the bathroom, he saw the mother and daughter, one still and one moving, behaving intimately. One glance made him feel warm.
He slowly walked over, and Wen Jiayue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, letting him watch over things.
"Zhao Zhao is so energetic, I'm getting a little tired of watching her, you can take over."
Shen Fuhan nodded and sat by the bed, protecting her daughter.
Wen Jiayue lay half-reclined on the bed, thought for a moment, and encouraged Zhaozhao to crawl in her direction.
"Come to your mother."
Zhao Zhao tilted her little head, not quite understanding, and happily crawled in the opposite direction.
Wen Jiayue shook her head and chuckled, then held out her hand and said, "Zhaozhao, this way."
This time, Zhao Zhao understood and rushed straight into her arms.
"Our Zhaozhao is so smart." Wen Jiayue smiled and kissed her.
Zhao Zhao then kissed her back, and stopped crawling around, blinking her eyes as she let Zhao Zhao kiss her back.
Wen Jiayue said helplessly, "You remember this matter quite well."
She kissed her daughter's little face, and the mother and daughter started kissing each other endlessly again.
Seeing that he was no longer needed, Shen Fuhan lay down as well.
His movements attracted Zhao Zhao's attention, and she looked over curiously.
Those big, clear, and gentle eyes, just like Wen Jiayue's, softened Shen Fuhan's heart, and he lowered his head to kiss her face.
Then I waited quietly for her reaction.
Zhao Zhao frowned and thought for a while before finally kissing him on the cheek.
Shen Fuhan was immediately delighted that Zhaozhao would actually kiss him on her own initiative.
Wen Jiayue pouted, and kissing each other was no longer an exception for her.
Overall, Zhao Zhao still prefers her mother, so there's nothing to complain about.
After playing for a while, Zhao Zhao got a little sleepy and yawned.
Today it was Shen Fuhan's turn to put his daughter to sleep. He laid her on the bed and patted her back repeatedly.
He stared intently at Zhao Zhao, and Wen Jiayue's gaze unconsciously fell on his slightly gentle eyebrows and eyes.
When he is with his daughter, he always shows more tenderness than usual, and his love for her grows stronger.
Wen Jiayue thought she had made the right decision to cultivate a father-daughter relationship between him and Zhaozhao.
As she was pondering, Shen Fuhan looked up at her.
Wen Jiayue momentarily forgot to look away, and pretended to be calm as she met his gaze.
She seized the initiative and asked, "Why is Your Excellency looking at me like that?"
Shen Fuhan paused: "Didn't you look at mine first?"
"I do not have."
Shen Fuhan stopped arguing and asked calmly, "So what if I look at you? I not only want to look, I also want to..."
His gaze shifted downwards, landing on her luscious lips, his Adam's apple bobbing.
The gaze was too direct, and Wen Jiayue's heart trembled. She subconsciously turned her back.
"I'm going to sleep first."
A faint hum came from behind, as if to say, "You're still too green to fight me."
This didn't sound like something Shen Fuhan would say, but for some reason, Wen Jiayue felt that this was exactly what he was thinking.
“By the way,” Shen Fuhan brought up another matter, “Zhaozhao has reached the age of learning to speak, so please pay more attention to her these days.”
Even if he didn't say it, Wen Jiayue would do it anyway, so she nodded in agreement.
When Zhao Zhao was nine months old, she could say "Daddy," but it took her more than half a month to say "Mommy." This time, she wanted Zhao Zhao to learn to say "Mommy" first.
Although these two characters are a bit difficult, Zhao Zhao is so smart that she will definitely learn them soon.
Full of confidence, Wen Jiayue began teaching Zhaozhao the next day. Even if she didn't learn it, she would always remember it through exposure.
With her persistent efforts, Zhao Zhao started to speak, although she mostly said "ah" and "um", but she added a lot of interjections.
Half a month later, Zhao Zhao was able to say "Mother." Although it was just a muffled sound, Wen Jiayue could tell that she was calling her.
At the same time, Yun Yu Nu in the palace was promoted one rank and became Yun Bao Lin, a sixth-rank official.
Everything proceeded in the same orderly manner as in the previous life, including the extra marriage of Lin Qianqian and Ling He in this life.
Tomorrow is their wedding day; Wen Jiayue can choose to go or not.
Although they are relatives, their social status is different. Wen Jiayue is the wife of a marquis, while Lin Qianqian is just a concubine's daughter in the Lin family.
Logically speaking, the fact that she sent a congratulatory gift already shows that she thinks highly of Lin Qianqian.
But after thinking it over, she decided to go anyway.
She and Lin Qianqian hit it off, so she thought she would help her if she could and go and support her.
Seeing that she wanted to go, Shen Fuhan nodded and said, "No need to stay any longer, just go sit for a while and come back."
He paused for a moment, then said slowly, "We don't necessarily have to wait until they're married."
As he spoke, he gave her a meaningful look.
Wen Jiayue immediately recalled the absurdity of that night and couldn't help but glare at him.
She didn't care whether other people had consummated their marriages or not; he spoke as if she were so eager to know.
However, she couldn't explain it, since she had spoken her mind that time, and bringing it up again would only make things worse.
She pursed her lips and said, "I know."
Shen Fuhan said cryptically, "You'd better really know."
Wen Jiayue's face immediately flushed, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Don't mention this again!"
Shen Fuhan smiled slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore."
