Seeing Chu Yuqin already so embarrassed she wished she could dive into a hole, Lu Chen didn’t press her any further.

“I understand.”

“Madam Chu, I will always be waiting, waiting for you to accept me.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin glanced at Lu Chen’s entire body, then let go of his arm and said, “You… you should go find Zixuan and the others.”

Chu Yuqin knew Lu Chen was barely holding back, so she no longer clung to him.

“Okay, then I’ll leave first,” Lu Chen said.

Lu Chen thought since Chu Yuqin’s inner chains had begun to loosen, his first stage task was also considered complete.

After some more time, Chu Yuqin would be able to accept him completely, nothing further was needed for today.

The recent hugging and kissing with Chu Yuqin had left him on fire; he desperately needed somewhere to cool off.

With that in mind, Lu Chen turned and left the study.

Watching Lu Chen’s retreating figure, Chu Yuqin sighed softly. What had she just said?

She had actually offered to serve Lu Chen.

Although she had taken care of Lu Chen since they were young, what she just said about serving him was clearly different from usual care.

Was she really going to be with him…

As she thought this, Chu Yuqin’s cheeks burned even hotter.

She had often dreamed of doing bad things with Lu Chen in bed, but after all, those were just dreams.

No one would know about the things in dreams unless she spoke of them, but if her dreams turned into reality, they might get exposed eventually.

Moreover, her sister had been watching her closely; she might get found out any day.

With this thought, Chu Yuqin sighed again. She would have to take it one step at a time.

Anyway, there was still time. She had already told Lu Chen to give her some time to cool off, and she didn’t specify how long, so stalling a bit longer wouldn’t matter.

After leaving the study, Lu Chen went straight to the northern courtyard and entered Zhou Xiaoxiao’s room.

At that moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou were holding their children and talking about something. Seeing Lu Chen come in suddenly, they both hurriedly said, “We greet the Prince!”

Lu Chen smiled and said, “Ladies, what are you discussing?”

Zhou Youyou replied, “Prince, we were discussing Huanhuan. Sister said she likes to move around a lot and will surely be a very lively girl in the future.”

Hearing Zhou Youyou’s words, Lu Chen approached Zhou Xiaoxiao, bowed his head, and glanced at Lu Huanhuan in Zhou Xiaoxiao’s arms.

Seeing Lu Chen, Lu Huanhuan smiled and lifted her hands as if asking to be held.

This sight soothed the restlessness within Lu Chen, his daughter’s smile almost melted his heart.

He immediately took Lu Huanhuan from Zhou Xiaoxiao’s arms, then said, “Huanhuan, let Daddy hold you.”

As soon as Lu Chen held Lu Huanhuan, she started babbling something—she hadn’t learned to speakyet, so she could only make babbling sounds.

Lu Chen said with a laugh, “Little Huanhuan, you’re not scolding Daddy, are you?”

“Could it be that you already know that Daddy is going to compete with you for your mother today?”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s face flushed with a hint of red.

So that was why Lu Chen came here—it was to do bad things with her.

At this moment, Zhou Youyou seemed to understand something, then said, “Prince, let this concubine take Huanhuan next door to rest.”

It was time for Lu Chen to get serious with Zhou Xiaoxiao, so naturally, Huanhuan shouldn’t be left there to see.

“It’s alright, I’ll hold my dear daughter a bit more,” Lu Chen said, still smiling.

At that moment, Lu Huanhuan continued to babble, raising her little fist to hammer Lu Chen’s chest. Seeing her behavior, Lu Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

Seeing that Lu Chen was so fond of Lu Huanhuan, Zhou Xiaoxiao also smiled.

She had always been worried that Lu Chen might distance himself from her because she hadn’t given him a son.

Although Lu Chen had always said it didn’t matter whether it was a girl or a boy in the North Prince Mansion, the era prioritized sons over daughters, and his words hadn’t dispelled Zhou Xiaoxiao’s worries.

However, judging by how Lu Chen treated Lu Huanhuan, he genuinely seemed to like his daughter, or else he wouldn’t be so willing to hold her.

As long as Lu Chen didn’t resent having a daughter, it was fine.

After playing with Lu Huanhuan for a while, Lu Chen handed her over to Zhou Youyou.

Next, he was about to steal Huanhuan’s “food”, and of course, she couldn’t be around to witness that.

Once Zhou Youyou left Zhou Xiaoxiao’s room with the nursemaid and two children, Zhou Xiaoxiao then said, “Prince, allow me to undress you.”

As she spoke, Zhou Xiaoxiao started to reach for Lu Chen’s belt, but Lu Chen quickly grabbed her wrist.

Looking into Zhou Xiaoxiao’s eyes, he smiled and said, “Xiaoxiao, what are you doing, unbuckling my belt in broad daylight?”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s face reddened even more. Lu Chen was clearly teasing her.

He came all the way here and still asked her why she was untyling his belt.

Zhou Xiaoxiao whispered, “Prince, you’ve worked hard defending against the Barbarian Tribe’s invasion to the north. Let me help you relax.”

Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao’s shy demeanor, Lu Chen lifted her delicate chin with his hand, gazed into her eyes, and said, “Xiaoxiao, why do I feel it’s not you who’s helping me relax, but rather me helping you relax?”
