The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

They finally arrived at the Moon-Watching Pavilion beside the clear stream. As soon as Shen Du put her down, Cui Lingyi moved back two steps and sat a little further away.

"Ali, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Shen Du asked, reaching out to touch a strand of hair on her temple, but Cui Lingyi dodged it.

"What are you doing? Do you know that men and women should not touch each other?"

Her big eyes stared at him coquettishly and ignorantly, her delicate face like a little bun was puffing up and down, and she looked very angry.

Shen Du suddenly found it a little funny.

When did the little girl who always chased after him become like this?

Like a cat.

Still a cat that can scratch people.

I punched him on the chest just now, and each time it felt both painful and itchy, as if it was scratching his heart.

"Men and women shouldn't touch each other?" He snorted coldly and took a step closer to her. "That's not what you said before."

"before?"

Cui Lingyi shuddered.

In the past, she used the fact that they were engaged to force herself on him when she saw him...

Forget it, that’s all in the past, why bring it up again?

Now that you have changed your ways, you should stick to your guns to the end.

"No way? I've already told you that the engagement is off now, why are you still coming over here? Go away..."

As Cui Lingyi spoke, she stretched out her little feet hidden in her skirt and kicked him non-stop.

"Go away, I don't want to see you..."

Shen Du wanted to laugh for no reason.

I let her do whatever she wanted for a while, and now she's got all these thorns on her body.

But her body seemed to be stronger, and her breath was more stable...

It seems that Feng Zhenzhu is really capable.

It was the right decision to let the two of them be together.

He took off his cloak and, ignoring her kicks, wrapped her small body completely.

"Well, I rushed for seven days and seven nights to reach the Immortal Grass Valley. Ah Li is really going to be so ruthless?"

The petite body under the cloak was indeed frozen in place. Shen Du pursed his lips and took the opportunity to smooth the messy hair around her cheeks.

His little woman, even though she is covered with thorns, is still gentle at heart.

It used to be a rabbit, but now it is a cat that has become a spirit.

"Don't touch me."

His palm was pushed away fiercely by her, and she stared at him with a pair of big, angry eyes, "What are you doing in Xiancao Valley?"

"I'll spend the New Year with you!"

He took Cui Lingyi's hand, pretending to warm it for her, and held her tightly.

For some reason, after not seeing each other for a while, Cui Lingyi in front of him made him feel itchy.

Although he had thought about her before he saw her, it was not like this. He always couldn't help but want to do things that he had never thought of before.

"Didn't I tell you in my last letter? I'll come to Fairy Grass Valley to see you after I finish my work. Have you forgotten everything?"

Cui Lingyi tried to pull her hand away twice but couldn't, so she turned her head away in anger.

She didn't forget!

She just chose not to look!

"Who knows which one you want to see?"

The voice was soft and distorted with anger. Shen Du didn't hear it clearly, so he moved closer.

"What did Ali say?"

"What do you care what I say?"

Cui Lingyi thought he was deliberately not hearing, so she pushed him away in anger, got out of the cloak, and ran away like the wind.

"Ali..."

Looking at the cloak on the stool that she disliked, Shen Du lowered his eyes and reached out to pick it up.

The unique fragrance that belonged to her penetrated into his nostrils, and he couldn't help but tighten his fingertips.

If the little woman hadn't caused so much trouble, he would have married her long ago.

Now this little temper really makes him like her.

However, it is not a good idea to not acknowledge the engagement.

How can I make the little woman realize that she can't escape from him at all?

But if she really didn't acknowledge their engagement, would he really have to chain her up?

Shen Du shook his head silently, and a rare look of confusion appeared on his usually emotionless face.

Cui Lingyi returned to the Lotus Pier, and along the way she saw many imperial envoys dressed in black clothes embroidered with gold.

"Humph, who are you trying to scare with all these people?"

As soon as she entered the Lotus Pier, Feng Zhenzhu came up to her and looked at her with a smile on her face.

Cui Lingyi felt frightened by her stare and couldn't help but hug herself.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Feng Zhenzhu laughed strangely.

"I just want to confirm whether our Ah Li has been eaten by someone!"

She had a sly look on her face that made people feel awkward for some reason.

Cui Lingyi pursed her lips.

"What do you mean by eating or not? You keep talking nonsense."

"How could I be talking nonsense?" Feng Zhenzhu said with a face full of experience.

"I've seen a lot of men like Shen Du. On the surface, he seems cold and indifferent, but in reality... humph, he's like an active volcano. You never know when he'll explode, and specifically target silly and ignorant little beauties like you. You better be careful, don't let him take advantage of you and trick you back home... When that happens, you won't even know who to cry to..."

Although Cui Lingyi didn't understand what active volcanoes were, she understood the meaning of Feng Zhenzhu's words.

To be honest, if you think about it carefully, Shen Du is really that kind of person.

Like an iceberg on the surface, but like fire inside.

It's just that he burned someone else.

In those three years in her previous life, she ignited all her passion, but failed to melt him...

Oh no, he melted.

On the day she died, he smiled so warmly at Feng Zhenzhu——

"Sister Pearl, now that you know him so well, are you treating him well..."

Cui Lingyi struggled but still asked.

Feng Zhenzhu was eating a sweet date and started coughing violently after hearing this.

Cui Lingyi hurried forward to pat her back and helped her spit out the stuck dates.

After Feng Zhenzhu recovered her breath, the first thing she did was glare at her, as if she was extremely shocked.

"Ahem...what did you say? Ah Li, you don't think I'm interested in Shen Du, do you?"

Cui Lingyi pursed her lips but still spoke.

"So what's wrong? You see him so clearly, isn't it for him..."

Although she had decided not to love Shen Du anymore, she would never marry him.

But she wanted to know the truth.

During the days since her rebirth, she thought of Shen Du's smile countless times.

She could never understand how he could smile so warmly to a woman other than her...

What is the reason?

Was it the funniest joke he had ever heard?

Or did he hear affirmation or praise from someone he likes?

She had to admit that Feng Zhenzhu was really good at telling jokes and praising people.

During the time they spent together, she became more cheerful.

"Ali, you really think too much." Feng Zhenzhu kept pouting and waving her hands.

"As for me, I've just read too many storybooks. Shen Du is definitely the hero of the storybooks! I know who he is. Don't be too easy, I tell you..."

Having said that, Feng Zhenzhu suddenly showed a mysterious smile, lowered her voice, and just winked at her.

"Ali, I also know that men like him have a biggest weakness. Do you want to hear it?"
