The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 206 - 205: Isn’t this what we’re looking at?

Chapter 206: Chapter 205: Isn’t this what we’re looking at?

Si Yuting did heed the advice, choosing the princess carry this time.

Qu Tong reflexively hooked her arms around Si Yuting’s neck as soon as she was lifted.

Looking up, she could see Si Yuting’s taut jawline and the protruding, sexy Adam’s apple.

Qu Tong couldn’t help but reach out and touch it.

The Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.

In that moment, Si Yuting also stopped walking, his gaze lowered and his eyes dim and unfathomable.

Qu Tong pulled a smile and, like a good girl, withdrew her hand.

Si Yuting averted his gaze and continued walking toward the bed.

Qu Tong felt a bit nervous, her palms slightly sweaty as if a tiny deer were crashing around in her heart.

When she was tucked into the blanket, the little deer seemed to have met its end...

She couldn’t help but doubt...

Were her legs not long enough?

Was her waist not slender?

Were her lips not soft?

Was Si Yuting ill?!

He didn’t look like it?

Si Yuting gazed at her lips, glistening and rosy like early morning rose petals, and bent down to press a kiss.

His voice was softer than ever before, "Have an early night, we need to get up early tomorrow."

Just as Qu Tong was about to fiercely kick away the blankets, she looked into Si Yuting’s doting and tender eyes that held a trace of weariness.

Weariness?

Qu Tong pulled back her foot.

Alright, she was a gentle and considerate wife.

After Si Yuting lay on the other side of the bed.

Qu Tong drew out her hand, spread the blanket and covered Si Yuting with half of it.

Si Yuting’s breathing became erratic for a moment as he watched her small movements.

First shifting towards him and then, underneath the blanket, she pulled his hand towards her, interlocking their fingers without any further movement.

Si Yuting tightened his grip on the softness in his palm, and his tense expression relaxed.

Most of the time, his little wife was very well-behaved and sensible, except when she was seducing him.

This was quite nice.

"Did Your Highness go to the palace?" Qu Tong turned her head, her clear gaze falling on Si Yuting’s handsome profile.

Although the smell of alcohol on his lips was overwhelmed by the scent of mint, she could still make out it, the Romane Conti that the Empress Dowager had once given her to taste, seemingly exclusive to Canaan and the Cangling Imperial Family.

The scent was not strong. She hadn’t noticed it when he had been sitting next to her downstairs, so he likely hadn’t drunk much.

"Mm, we discussed tomorrow’s matters," he replied.

Si Yuting switched off the bedside lamp, his voice calm and magnetic dispersing into the dimming air.

Qu Tong liked to sleep with some light on, so Si Yuting left the bathroom’s baseboard lighting on.

"Is there anything I should be aware of tomorrow?" asked Qu Tong.

"No," Si Yuting answered and then seemed to think it was inadequate, adding, "Just stay by my side."

"Okay~" Qu Tong turned her head away, her voice vague as she dragged out the word.

It wasn’t long before Si Yuting heard even breathing.

She fell asleep so quickly.

After a while, Qu Tong turned inward, hugging the big white goose to her chest.

The blanket was still on her, but the softness in her hand was gone, leaving a somewhat empty feeling.

At six in the morning, the alarm went off.

Qu Tong rubbed her head, opening her eyes in confusion. She hadn’t set an alarm, had she?

She looked towards the source of the sound.

On the other bedside table lay Si Yuting’s Optical Brain Bracelet.

Qu Tong bent over, picked up the bracelet and turned off the alarm.

With the alarm silenced, the main interface of the optical brain automatically opened up.

Qu Tong was momentarily stunned.

After all, for a general, such an important device as the optical brain used just as an alarm clock, not to mention its screen wasn’t even locked?

Qu Tong didn’t snoop through Si Yuting’s optical brain. Instead, she got up, quickly freshened up, and went to the dressing room, letting Qianqian help her with her hairstyle.

For some important occasions that required her to dress up, she still needed assistance. She only dressed to her liking, not paying much attention to details.

For instance, with her hair, she would either leave it down or tie it up, at most adding a hair accessory, but nothing as elaborate as what Qianqian would do.

"Madam, should I use the matching necklace?"

In her hands, Qianqian held an amethyst necklace, asking.

Qu Tong touched the pearl necklace around her neck and shook her head, "No need."

"Okay, Madam’s pearl necklace looks very nice too, it goes well with this outfit," Qianqian replied as she put the necklace back into the jewelry box, complimenting with envy.

Once Qu Tong was ready, Butler Chi came up to ask if she wanted to have some breakfast.

Qu Tong wasn’t hungry yet, so she declined.

"How about His Highness?"

"His Highness is training in the gravity room behind. His Highness built a gravity room next to the lab similar to the one used by the military. As long as he is at home, he insists on training daily, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening. Usually, it’s 40-60 minutes in the morning. His Highness has been in there for about fifty minutes, so he should be out soon."

Butler Chi was quite enthusiastic and thorough in his explanation.

"His Highness also said, if Madam is awake, to wait for him a while, we’ll leave for the palace at seven o’clock."

Qu Tong nodded and looked toward the open door of the master bedroom, then asked Butler Chi, "Is His Highness’s room fixed?"

Butler Chi grinned slyly, "It’s fixed. His Highness even went there this morning. Madam can also stay in the master bedroom in the future. The master bedroom has a good view, large space, and fully equipped facilities."

The most important part was that it included His Highness, Butler Chi thought to himself.

Qu Tong glanced at Butler Chi with a faint smile.

She told Butler Chi to go about his business and took Si Yuting’s optical brain bracelet to the master bedroom.

Qu Tong placed Si Yuting’s bracelet by the office desk and noticed that there was also a copy of "Imperial Laws" on the shelf, albeit an abridged version.

Checking the time and seeing she still had about half an hour until seven, she took down the book and flipped through it.

Recalling what Si Yuting had said, she turned to Article 1087 of the marriage laws and then flipped back to the beginning to start reading.

She hadn’t read much when the door burst open.

Si Yuting, fresh from training, had a slightly flushed skin and sweat at his neck and forehead. Wearing a short-sleeve top, his exposed arms showed clear muscle lines, which didn’t detract from his attractiveness at all.

Si Yuting headed to the bathroom while peeling off his shirt.

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow.

Wow!

Normally so well-concealed.

And now she had a view!

Not bad at all!

The abs were indeed attractive, a six-pack!

Si Yuting’s shirt was halfway off when he caught Qu Tong’s teasing gaze. His movements paused as he decided whether to continue undressing or put the shirt back down.

Qu Tong, dressed in a light purple fish-tail dress, sat sideways on the office chair, one hand supporting her chin, her gaze frank and open. Seeing Si Yuting stop, she even said, "Go on."

Si Yuting’s lips twitched slightly, and he put down his shirt, his voice cold and restrained, "Wait for me a moment, I’ll be quick."

Then he strode into the bathroom.

Qu Tong clicked her tongue.

Was that necessary?

Did she look that... eager?

Surely not.

The sound of running water filled the bathroom, and Qu Tong, with no interest left for the book, put back the volume of Imperial Laws onto the shelf.

She took a glass vase and the dried roses beside it and went to her own room to fetch a fresh bouquet to replace them.

Si Yuting was quick. In less than fifteen minutes, he was washed, dressed, and ready to go out.

Coming out, he saw that Qu Tong had replaced the flowers on the table. This time with a pair of twin Cuira flowers, equally stunning.
