Jiangnan Gaiden - Capítulo 57
"Then I will drain every last drop of your energy, because it belongs exclusively to me."
Afterwards, unable to resist the teasing, he pounced on his wife and kissed her passionately.
Even when he forgot all reason and was intoxicated by passion, Shi Wuji still remembered to retain a touch of tenderness, taking care of their little child...

Chapter Eleven
This was not simply a journey south for business.
The Shi brothers led two-thirds of Aolong Fort's troops south. Only the women still didn't understand the real reason.
Everyone was fully prepared and ready to set off at their master's command.
Shi Wujie, utterly bored, leaned against the side of the horse, arms crossed over his chest, occasionally rolling his eyes.
Shi Wuhen was much more composed, turning his face away or pretending to soothe his beloved horse.
At the entrance of Aolong Castle, two loving couples were saying their reluctant goodbyes.
Leng Gang and his partner remained silent, their eyes filled with deep affection. Leng Gang, unable to hold back his tears, felt a deep reluctance to part.
Huan'er, on the other hand, was busy tidying up her husband's already neatly arranged clothes and earnestly urging him to take good care of himself. Shi Wuji, in turn, repeatedly told her to be careful of her health, to be mindful of her pregnancy, and not to act impulsively. He had so much to say, afraid of missing anything.
Finally, Shi Wuji stopped talking, pulled Huan'er into his arms, and lifted his cloak to cover their intertwined bodies. He kissed his still-chattering wife deeply.
That gesture was too ambiguous! Even though no one could see it, they could guess what it meant!
Huan'er collapsed into her husband's arms. When the cloak was lowered, the exciting scenes were over. But Huan'er's flushed cheeks told everyone more. Huan'er was mortified; she hadn't dared to perform in public! And…and…damn it, he had actually said those three words to her at this crucial moment—how was she supposed to respond? She could only bury her burning ears in his chest, her whole body weak. He had finally said it!
"Remember to think of me, okay?" he whispered.
Huan'er nodded weakly, and someone supported her from behind. Her eyes followed her husband's heroic figure as he mounted his horse, ignoring Wu Jie's winks and jeers. She watched her husband lead the procession away into the distance, not looking back, riding swiftly until the sound of hooves faded into the distance, his figure disappearing on the horizon… Huan'er lowered her eyes, turning back to see Leng Ziyang and Wu Xia supporting her, while Yu Niang and the others behind her were all blushing. No one had expected Shi Wuji to be so bold as to put on such a public display. Fortunately, many of the servants had already left, otherwise Huan'er would have been utterly humiliated.
A flawless, low laugh.
"Sister-in-law, you've corrupted my elder brother."
Huan'er muttered:
"Envious, aren't you! Leng Gang wouldn't dare to do that, but his gaze probably conveys the same sentiment."
Upon entering Haoran Tower, Leng Ziyang turned to leave, but Huan'er called out to him.
"Uncle Leng, Wuji isn't here, so I'll have to trouble you."
"Of course." His voice was flat but indifferent.
