Lan Xunbai was even faster than Wen Chen and had already settled on the carriage. 

However, he sat in the seat next to Li Wanzhao. 

Li Wanzhao wanted to say that Wen Chen should sit there, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Wen Chen get on the carriage right after her. 

Wen Chen and Lan Xunbai’s eyes met, but Lan Xunbai didn’t feel like he had done anything wrong at all, nor did he feel like he had taken Wen Chen’s seat. 

He even smiled and asked Wen Chen, “I’m used to sitting with Sister, Brother Wen, you don’t mind, do you?” 

“Xiao Bai, speak properly…” 

Li Wanzhao was a sensitive person and heard the sarcasm in Lan Xunbai’s words, but she was interrupted by Wen Chen before she could finish her words. He looked at Li Wanzhao and asked without any expression, “Why is he on our carriage?” 

Why is he on our carriage? Instead of who is he. 

Wen Chen knew this person. 

He and he were in the same school now. 

When Li Wanzhao was in school, Lan Xunbai always liked to be with her, calling her “Sister” all the time. 

At first, he really thought they were siblings, but later he found out that one was Li and the other was Lan. 

It was quite interesting. 

Wen Chen used to like to watch them get together and laugh and joke when he was bored. 

Lan Xunbai was shameless, and Li Wanzhao was thin-skinned. Her ears would always turn red from some of his strange jokes; Lan Xunbai also always liked to bring her delicious things from home, saying that his mother made them. When Li Wanzhao ate sweet cakes, there was always a faint smile on her lips… 

Li Wanzhao really regarded him as a younger brother, but Lan Xunbai didn’t necessarily regard her as a sister. 

He was quite curious at that time, when would this pair of siblings become husband and wife. 

But later, they didn’t become husband and wife. 

He and she became husband and wife first. 

Did the Lan family not have a carriage? Why did he have to get on the Li family’s carriage? 

Li Wanzhao heard Wen Chen’s words and was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, “When I came out of the house just now, I ran into Uncle Lan. He went to find my father to talk, and asked me to pick up Xiao Bai and go home together.” 

Oh… go home together. 

Wen Chen didn’t have any expression when he heard this, and didn’t say anything else. 

Lan Xunbai was really talkative. Even though Li Wanzhao had married Wen Chen, he was still as talkative as before. Wen Chen sat next to him like an irrelevant person. 

He used to like listening to interesting voices when he was idle, but now it sounded a bit noisy. 

Perhaps the carriage was small, and it was a bit stuffy with three people sitting together. 

Wen Chen seized the gap in their conversation, got a moment to breathe, and looked at Li Wanzhao sitting opposite him. “You haven’t asked me how I did on the exam today.” 

As soon as Wen Chen said this, Li Wanzhao’s attention was immediately drawn to him. 

Li Wanzhao also felt that Lan Xunbai’s behavior was inappropriate. She had married after all, and besides, she was in front of Wen Chen now, so it was not very appropriate to say these things. But Lan Xunbai was too enthusiastic, and they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so they talked endlessly. Li Wanzhao wanted to speak several times but didn’t have the opportunity. 

Now that Wen Chen had spoken, Li Wanzhao immediately replied, “Then how did you do on the exam today?” 

“I did very well on the exam today.” 

His voice was very faint, and the words he said were also very light, but Li Wanzhao felt inexplicably at ease when she heard it. 

In the past, when Li Wanzhao asked him, he would just perfunctorily say “okay,” but today he said “very well.” 

She knew that he was a capable person, but he always said “okay,” which made her feel unsure. 

Li Wanzhao thought, could it be that today’s questions were particularly simple? 

As soon as Wen Chen spoke, Li Wanzhao’s attention was completely drawn to him. Lan Xunbai didn’t have any chance to speak anymore. And when it came to those imperial examination studies, he lost his energy and didn’t want to interrupt. He finally obediently closed his mouth and turned his head to look out the window. 

When they arrived at the Li family, Li Wanzhao originally wanted to have someone take Lan Xunbai to find Lan Yu, but the servant said that Li Guan had sent a message asking them to have dinner together. 

They went to see Li Guan and Lan Yu. 

When Lan Yu saw Li Wanzhao, he also smiled and thanked her for a long time, thanking her for picking up his child for him. But he was still smiling, and his gaze fell on Wen Chen behind her, his smile froze for a while, and finally gradually faded away. 

Wen Chen’s existence was always an embarrassment, but for Li Wanzhao’s sake, he didn’t say anything more. 

Later, Chen Shi and the twin siblings also came. As soon as they came, they started talking to Lan Xunbai about everything. Lan Xunbai was tired of dealing with them and didn’t want to deal with them, but Li Guan was also there, so he couldn’t directly reject them in front of him. He had to respond casually. 

With Chen Shi and the others there, this meal was not pleasant after all. 

In the end, after taking a few bites of food in a hurry, Li Wanzhao and Wen Chen got up to say goodbye. 

The quiet night arrived, and the moon was covered by dark clouds. Tonight’s sky was particularly dark. After the candlelight in the room was extinguished, there was not a single ray of light to be seen. 

After the two of them lay on the bed, Li Wanzhao thought of what happened in the carriage this evening. Afraid that Wen Chen would overthink it, she still opened her mouth to call him, “Chen Lang, are you still awake?” 

The person next to her didn’t respond. Li Wanzhao poked him with her elbow, and Wen Chen finally agreed to speak. “What did you say? I didn’t hear clearly just now.” 

Was he didn’t hear clearly, or didn’t want to answer. 

Li Wanzhao was talking to him, and he always liked to pretend that he didn’t hear clearly. He was only nineteen years old, so he had a hearing problem? 

Li Wanzhao only felt that he didn’t want to talk to her anymore and was pretending to be dead to deal with her. 

She turned around, got closer to him, almost touching his body, and asked him, “Were you unhappy in the carriage today?” 

She had married Wen Chen after all, and it was somewhat inappropriate for Lan Xunbai to act like that in the carriage. 

Lan Xunbai was just a younger brother in Li Wanzhao’s eyes, but they were not siblings after all, and they should have some boundaries. 

But Lan Xunbai didn’t think there was anything wrong with this and felt that they were siblings, and it didn’t matter that she was married, they could still be the same as before. 

Li Wanzhao said, “Xiao Bai is ignorant, he’s just a child, he doesn’t have any other thoughts.” 

A seventeen-year-old child? 

Wen Chen almost sneered when he heard this, but he didn’t want to say anything more to her, and in the end, he just silently said “hmm” as an answer. 

Just “hmm”? 

Li Wanzhao was unsettled by his muffled “hmm.” She wanted to talk to him properly and explain, she didn’t want this matter to become a thorn between them in the future, but why did he have to answer her with just a “hmm”? 

This matter was blocked by his silence again. 

In the past, Li Wanzhao felt that his uncontentious nature was quite good, but seeing him like this tonight, she felt so uncomfortable that her chest felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, unable to go up or down, suffocating her chest. 

She didn’t like his indifference and silent silence. 

Li Wanzhao was very close to him, burying her head in his neck. 

Just then, she suddenly stuck out her tongue and licked him. 

Wen Chen didn’t want her to get so close to him, wanted to let her lie down properly and not cling to his body, but before he could say anything, he was offended by her tongue. 

I want to go to the capital with you 

The neck was an extremely sensitive area. The wet and sticky touch gave him goosebumps all over his body. The soreness and numbness spread to his limbs, making him tremble uncontrollably. Wen Chen was caught off guard by her sudden action and couldn’t help but let out a gasp from his throat. 

What was even more hateful was that Li Wanzhao seemed to have discovered his sensitivity and didn’t let go. 

Wen Chen couldn’t bear it and finally reached out and pushed her away. 

His clear voice carried the shame and anger of being offended. He questioned her, “What are you doing?” 

“We haven’t had sex in a long time.” 

It was said that couples quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. 

Since he didn’t want to talk to her, then they should make up at the foot of the bed. 

Wen Chen wasn’t very enthusiastic about sex. They had been married for four months now, but the number of times they had sex could be counted on one hand. 

Li Wanzhao didn’t think that marital sex was anything embarrassing. Besides, Wen Chen was taciturn and cold. If he didn’t say anything, wouldn’t she be a widow? 

It just so happened that he had finished the county exam, so she didn’t have to worry about anything anymore. 

Tonight the moon was dark, and there was no candlelight in the room, so Wen Chen couldn’t see Li Wanzhao’s expression when she said this, but he could vaguely hear the wetness in her voice. 

It was vague and indescribably charming. 

She was aroused. 

Before Wen Chen could open his mouth, he was touched below. 

He almost gritted his teeth and called out her name, “Li Wanzhao!” 

Li Wanzhao didn’t take his anger to heart at all, but instead asked with a bit of cunning, “Didn’t you also have a reaction?” 

If he didn’t have a reaction after being teased like this? 

Then he should really see a doctor. 

Li Wanzhao wanted to say something more, but Wen Chen pressed her down. 

The cold and strong smell of his body invaded her, like the cold air in winter, enveloping her whole body. 

Their clothes gradually came off, and Li Wanzhao suddenly asked, “Can you light the lamp?” 

She liked to look at his face, liked to look at his aroused appearance. She usually had a hard time seeing his love, but only at this time was it not so different. 

Wen Chen didn’t know what she was thinking, but he thought this request was too strange. Why light the lamp? 

He was different from Li Wanzhao, he didn’t like to light the lamp at this time. 

He silently rejected Li Wanzhao’s request. 

The bed was not a high-quality, sturdy bed, and it was easy to shake with any movement. 

Li Wanzhao knew that Wen Chen was quite strong, but he was restrained, so he restrained his strength at this time. Even so, it still made her feel dizzy. 

When the sex ended, Wen Chen wanted to retreat and let it out outside, but Li Wanzhao wrapped her arms around his waist and wouldn’t let him retreat.
