CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 162: STILL SO YOUNG AND ALREADY FOND OF GOOD LOOKS

"Susu, what brings you here?" Feng Qiwu strode over, his steps brisk.

Seeing the surprised delight on his face, Bai Susu knew she made the right choice coming here.

She smiled and said, "Grandfather asked me to make some snacks and bring them to you."

She then reached out to take the food box from Chuntao and handed it to Feng Qiwu.

Feng Qiwu immediately took it and then handed it to Aunt Zhang, "Did you make them yourself? Rest assured, I’ll make sure to finish every last bite."

Hearing this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but laugh lightly, "There’s no need for that. I didn’t have the thought to make snacks myself; Chuntao did it for me. I just wanted to take the chance to see you."

Chuntao looked at Bai Susu with a face full of helplessness.

Then she whispered a reminder, "Miss, why did you say that?"

How could she show off her virtuous side in front of the Crown Prince now?

Saying such blunt truths!

Feng Qiwu laughed heartily after hearing this.

Then he said, "I’m already very happy that you came to see me."

With that said, he took Bai Susu’s hand and said, "Come, I’ll take you to see our new room!"

Last night, he initially wanted to show her and see if there was anything she didn’t like and wanted to change, but because of the Witch Doctor Gu He situation, they didn’t make it there.

Now that she’s here, it’s perfect timing.

They could finally go and have a good look.

"Okay!" Bai Susu nodded with a smile, then said to Aunt Zhang, "Please see to it that my two maids are settled."

"Rest assured, Crown Princess Consort, you just go with His Highness. They’ll stay here with me!" Aunt Zhang immediately replied.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang." Bai Susu gave a gentle smile, gave Chuntao and Nuanyang a reassuring look, and left with Feng Qiwu.

...

Feng Qiwu dismissed everyone along the way, and when they passed the rock garden, he suddenly pulled Bai Susu into his arms.

"What made you think of coming to visit me?" Feng Qiwu asked, his eyes still filled with joy.

He had thought that before the wedding, it would be unlikely for him to see Susu due to Old Man Bai’s watchful guard.

"Ahem, Grandfather thinks we’re just putting on a show. Didn’t you just come back from suppressing the bandits? He was afraid I’d slip up and make others doubt our relationship, so he specially asked me to come and see you, for appearances." Bai Susu replied with amusement.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu was speechless.

But then he couldn’t help but smirk, "Seems like everyone thinks I want to marry you just for the Prime Minister’s power,"

But outsiders wouldn’t know that what he gained was a treasure worth countless times more than the emperor’s throne.

If he had to choose between the world and Susu, he would choose Susu without hesitation.

What is power and dominance? What is wealth and status? Compared to Susu, they’re nothing!

Bai Susu held back her laughter and nodded, "Indeed, do you think they’d be shocked when they find out we’re genuinely in love?"

The thought of everyone guessing their relationship opposite to reality amused and puzzled her.

However, she knew that their speculation was actually the normal one.

...

Seeing a flash of mischievous joy on Bai Susu’s face, Feng Qiwu smiled and said, "They’ll only be envious and jealous of you."

"Hmm?" Bai Susu looked at him, confused.

Feng Qiwu then hummed, "Isn’t it true? They’ll envy you for gaining my favor and then sourly wonder when you’ll fall out of it."

Bai Susu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Then she gently blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes at Feng Qiwu and deliberately teased, "Well, that depends on whether someone is willing to let me fall out of favor!"

At this, Feng Qiwu immediately pressed her against the rockery and gazed deeply into her eyes.

"Of course not, as long as I’m alive, you’ll always be the treasure in my hands, the bright moon in my heart. I swear, in this life and the next, I will never let you down, and will always love and protect you."

Seeing Feng Qiwu speak so earnestly, Bai Susu’s heartbeat quickened, caught by his sincerity.

After a moment, she couldn’t help but blush and said, "I... I understand, you don’t need to swear; I believe you."

In her heart, she screamed like a gopher: Ahhh!

When did this guy suddenly master the skill of sweet-talking?

His lips were already quite tempting for kissing, and now... he’s become so good at speaking sweet words.

Who could possibly resist a man like this!

Feng Qiwu heard Bai Susu’s words and couldn’t help but smile, "You really have such low demands on me, and you’re so easy to please."

Just a few sweet words from him had her blushing as if she’d eaten pounds of honey, her eyes brimming with sweetness, visible to anyone who looked.

As Li Cang, the seasoned player of the romance game, said, no matter how old a woman is, she loves to hear sweet words.

Susu is no exception.

...

Bai Susu heard Feng Qiwu say she had low demands, instantly widened her eyes and said, "It’s not that I have low demands or am easy to please, okay?"

"It’s just that you tick every box on my aesthetic list, so looking at your smile alone makes my heart leap with joy!" Bai Susu said earnestly.

Does he think everyone comes with a face perfectly aligned with her taste?

Just having this requirement is already quite hard to meet.

Besides, even though he’s so handsome and good-looking, being straightforward even makes him more adorable.

With such looks, even his direct personality is endearing!

Feng Qiwu was struck by Bai Susu’s straightforwardness, his ears almost turning crooked.

"Alright, I know you really like my looks, but you’re so young and already captivated by beauty," Feng Qiwu said, trying to suppress his laughter.

As Feng Qiwu said this, Bai Susu shyly looked away.

He really underestimated her!

She’s an old rascal, already coveting his body for ages, ahem.

Seeing Bai Susu dare not look at him, Feng Qiwu thought she was embarrassed, so he leaned closer to her ear and chuckled softly, "But I just love your passion!"

Bai Susu: Meow meow meow?

What passion?

She had no idea what he meant.

Seeing Bai Susu’s clueless expression, Feng Qiwu’s gaze darkened. In the next moment, he suddenly supported her against the rockery.

He then kissed Bai Susu’s lips while supporting her towards the sleeping chamber.

Not until Bai Susu was out of breath did Feng Qiwu release her, then said, "This is the new room I prepared for us. Is there anything Susu isn’t satisfied with? If so, there’s time to change it."
