My rigid, jealous husband has fallen for me, even though I'm a hopeless romantic.

Chapter 97 Bland Duck Neck Ribs

So much time had passed that Wei Dongning had almost forgotten about the two of them.

To be honest, she really didn't think much of their marriage.

Consequently, she wasn't very interested in their dates.

"Forget it, I won't join in the fun. Just let me know if anything special happens."

"Alright then. I'm going to sleep." Xiao Wu didn't insist.

It took up half of Qianrong's bed, finding itself the most comfortable and softest spot.

Pian Qianrong even thought that Xiao Wu was giving him face by voluntarily shrinking into a small corner of the bed.

Gu Peiyan woke up in the middle of the night feeling as if someone was biting him.

He suddenly opened his eyes and found Wei Dongning on top of him, gnawing at his neck.

He was still muttering complaints about why it had no taste.

Even if you try to push her away, she'll just come right back to you.

After a while, Gu Peiyan had no choice but to let her cause trouble.

My steady breathing gradually became erratic, and my strong heartbeat almost burst out of my chest.

Gu Peiyan gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Few hot-blooded young men could resist her actions.

But she herself was completely unaware of this.

He was left alone to suffer in dire straits.

Gu Peiyan managed to push Wei Dongning back after she had finished eating.

The tingling sensation on my neck hadn't subsided, and there was still a slight stinging feeling.

If you raise your hand to touch it, you can even clearly feel the presence of teeth marks.

Gu Peiyan covered Wei Dongning with the quilt, put on an outer robe, and went to the outer room.

I lay back down only after the fever subsided.

When Wei Dongning woke up, she had no idea what had happened in the middle of the night.

His eyes were fixed on the bite marks on Gu Peiyan's neck: "What were you doing last night while I was asleep?"

"do not you remember?"

"What do I remember?"

Gu Peiyan was already irritable from not sleeping well all night. Hearing Wei Dongning's seemingly defiant attitude, she yanked her out of bed, casually draped a coat over her, and forced her to sit in front of the bronze mirror: "Open your mouth."

"What?"

Gu Peiyan showed the spot where she had been bitten: "Take a look for yourself and see if this tooth mark is the same as your teeth."

Wei Dongning carefully compared the two, then turned her head away guiltily.

The facts were undeniable, forcing her to admit that the bite marks on Gu Peiyan's neck were all her doing.

The main reason was that she suddenly remembered a dream she had last night, in which she said she bought two pieces of duck neck and was gnawing on them.

I'd guess she mistook Gu Peiyan's neck for a duck's collarbone.

A strong woman knows when to yield and when to stand firm; if she's wrong, she'll admit it: "I was wrong!"

Gu Peiyan was amused and annoyed by her unreasonable yet assertive attitude.

I wanted to pinch her cheek, but I was a little reluctant to do it.

In the end, he compromised and lightly patted her forehead: "Next time, look carefully before you slander me."

"Oh."

I won't be home for dinner tonight.

"Oh."

Wei Dongning mechanically repeated the process.

As a result, I received another light pat on the forehead: "I made an appointment with my colleagues today, and I can't break it. I'll be back early."

"Okay. You'd better hurry up and leave, or you'll get scolded if the higher-ups don't arrive in time."

After Gu Peiyan changed his clothes and went out, Wei Dongning grinned at his back and said, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been dreaming about gnawing on duck neck bones. I didn't even complain about how bad the texture was."

Xiao Wu swaggered in from outside, jumped in front of the bronze mirror, and looked at Wei Dongning with utter disdain: "Why didn't you dare say anything when he was here?"

"I feel guilty, so what? You have a problem with that?" Wei Dongning mischievously ruffled Xiao Wu's fur: "If I can't deal with him, I can at least deal with you!"

"My hairstyle! I finally managed to comb it!"

Xiao Wu retreated to the top of the cat tree, diligently grooming its fur, looking somewhat like it wanted to cry.

Why did it insist on manifesting as a physical form?

Why is there no medicine for regret in the world?

If she had the means, she would gladly give up all of Ningbao's wealth.

Wei Dongning stood behind Xiao Wu with a sinister look on her face. Just as it was complaining the most, she lowered her voice and said quietly, "I can hear you."

"Oh my god! There's a ghost!"

Xiao Fu, who was carrying a basin of water, happened to hear Xiao Wu's shrill scream. She was so frightened that her hand trembled and she almost dropped the basin: "Miss, what's wrong with Xiao Wu?"

Wei Dongning straightened up and slowly poured herself a glass of water: "It probably had a nightmare, right? It's okay, I'll just prepare some good food for it later."

"Do raccoons have nightmares too?" Xiao Fu looked at Xiao Wu with a skeptical expression.

She had always thought that only humans dream.

Wei Dongning nodded seriously: "Of course, everything that needs to sleep will dream. It's just that they can't tell us what their dreams are about."

"I see." Xiao Fu placed the water basin on the shelf and gently stroked the ruffled fur of Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, be good, Xiao Fu will get you some meat to eat in a little while."

Xiao Wu looked at Wei Dongning provocatively: "See? I'm the darling of this family."

"However, you wouldn't be able to get in without me."

Wei Dongning gently flicked away the cat hair that had just stuck to her, her tone casual as she spoke.

Xiao Wu was stunned by her words.

It wasn't until after breakfast that she realized something was wrong: "According to you, if it weren't for me, you might already be reincarnated by now."

Wei Dongning was still chewing on a freshly cooked shumai.

One bite, and the juices burst in your mouth.

Meat with just the right amount of fat and lean meat tastes especially delicious.

After swallowing, the aroma of the meat lingered in my mouth for a long time.

Wei Dongning finished the shumai in front of her with relish and let out a satisfied burp: "Reincarnation isn't so bad, you're alive no matter where you are."

The difference is that one is to inherit someone else's identity and live on, while the other is to start all over again from infancy.

For her, it made little difference.

Seeing her so impervious to reason, Xiao Wu sighed and accepted reality: "I can't argue with you. The Third Prince's carriage to pick up your second sister has already arrived at the Marquis's mansion. Aren't you really going to go and take a look?"

"Don't go."

The carriage is ready, so the destination must be far from nearby.

How stupid must she be to brazenly follow him?

If they were just strolling around the city, her being discovered in the past could be attributed to coincidence.

Accompanied by Xiao He, Wei Qiuci walked to the door and frowned when he saw the carriage: "Where is Your Highness taking me?"

Su Yide took Wei Qiuci's hand and led her into the carriage: "I heard that the Second Miss has been unwell recently. I happen to have a courtyard outside the city with a natural hot spring. I was thinking of taking you there for a soak."

"It's not quite right for just the two of us. I'd better get off the bus," Wei Qiuci said instinctively.

They are not married yet, and it is not appropriate for them to do something as private as soaking in a hot spring right now.

"Don't worry, I've prepared a private room for you, I won't disturb you," Su Yide reassured softly. "Hot springs are very good for your health. Besides, we're engaged, so no one will say anything."

Wei Qiuci didn't see the glint of light that flashed in Su Yide's eyes: "In that case, thank you, Third Prince."
