Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 144: He Must Love His Wife and Children

After the toast, Pei Xu's subordinates were very tactful and stopped disturbing him.

He put all his attention on Gu Jiaorong. Seeing her eating the barbecue happily, the corners of his mouth curled up silently.

But everyone was immersed in the joy of the party and no one noticed.

Even Fu'an, who was usually steady, now joined others in drinking.

Gu Jiaorong looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but sigh: "Days like this are really good."

It would be even better if it could last longer.

It’s a pity that the storm is coming, and these sincere and passionate men will eventually put on armor and rush to the battlefield.

Pei Xu heard her sigh and his eyes moved.

"Everything has its ups and downs, and I don't think they will regret it."

These are brothers who fought alongside him and shared life and death with him, so naturally their ideas are the same.

Gu Jiaorong doesn't think she is a kind person. She only cares about herself and everything she does is to keep herself safe. But at this moment, she blinked and looked forward.

"You're right. Destiny has been determined, so we should move forward courageously."

Gu Jiaorong took out a handkerchief, wiped the oil off her hands, and stood up.

"Your Highness, please walk with me. I've been here for so long, but I haven't been out and about yet."

A four-month-old belly is not that big, and Gu Jiaorong can still walk. Now that she wants to leave, Pei Xu naturally has no reason to refuse.

He stood tall and graceful beside Gu Jiaorong, his affectionate eyes as gentle as water.

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

They quietly left the crowd and walked along the mountain path under the moonlight.

The Firearm Camp is located deep in the mountains and there are no villages, but the natural scenery is beautiful.

Gu Jiaorong looked at the withered flowers on the roadside, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "It's autumn now, and these flowers are about to collapse."

“But next year they will still be as bright as ever.”

Pei Xu shook out his cloak, put it on her, and spoke softly.

"Flowers bloom and fade, but they don't disappear. These withered flowers fall to the ground and dissolve in the mud, becoming nutrients that nourish their roots so that they can bloom with even more fragrant flowers next year. This is our beautiful land that we protect with our lives. In the future, younger people will continue to protect it. Some insects may appear along the way, but that doesn't matter. The buds that have experienced setbacks will bloom even better."

It seems to be talking about flowers, but it is also talking about this dynasty.

Gu Jiaorong knew it clearly in her heart, she just sighed casually.

Perhaps this child really affected her mood and made her sentimental.

Gu Jiaorong pinched her palm and smiled.

"Your Highness is right. I hope that the flowers you gave me in the palace can also survive well. Next year, we can enjoy the moon and flowers together during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Gu Jiaorong skillfully painted a big picture for Pei Xu.

But isn’t this also the regret in Pei Xu’s heart?

They were unable to have a good Mid-Autumn Festival this year. Many things came together, and even if Pei Xu wanted to, he was powerless.

It was also at that moment that Pei Xu felt more and more that the feeling of being controlled by others was really annoying.

Although he didn't like it before, he could tolerate it.

Now that he has Gu Jiaorong, he becomes more and more greedy.

However, Pei Xu did not hate this feeling.

"Okay." His throat was dry, and his voice became more tender as he looked at Gu Jiaorong, as if he wanted to pull her in and sink into it together.

His hot big palm also held Gu Jiaorong's tender hand, and his slender fingers flexibly drilled into her finger joints and intertwined with her fingers.

This is a very intimate action, making them look like a couple.

Gu Jiaorong's eyes fell on the two people's interlocked hands, but quickly looked away.

She neither refused nor struggled.

The burning temperature of her palm constantly reminded her how close she was to Pei Xu.

Gu Jiaorong pursed her lips and pretended to know nothing.

She had never been in love in her previous life, and she was afraid that she would have no chance in this life. No matter whether he loved her or not, Pei Xu would not let her go. This opportunity was rare, and it would be hard to justify Pei Xu not compensating her!

As for Pei Xu, he was the one who took the initiative, and Gu Jiaorong didn't say anything, which was enough to make him very happy. Why would he take the initiative to remind her?

So the two of them continued walking forward hand in hand, each with their own thoughts.

The area around the Firearm Camp is not absolutely safe. Even though it is a deserted place, who can say whether there will be bored people coming here? Therefore, there are defenses even outside the Firearm Camp.

Gu Jiaorong felt particularly at ease, and the bright moonlight above her head also illuminated the road under her feet.

Although it was not a full moon night, the moon still showed up.

She reached out and tugged at her cloak, smiling.

Pei Xu noticed her mood change, but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at her intently.

Pei Xu didn't take Gu Jiaorong back until she looked tired.

"what……"

Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but scream when Pei Xu suddenly picked her up, but she quickly covered her mouth again.

We are outside now. What if someone sees us?

"My Lord, please put me down."

She said softly, worry hidden in her beautiful eyes.

Pei Xu obviously understood her thoughts and smiled, "What are you afraid of? Even if someone sees us, it doesn't matter. We are all family in the Firearms Battalion. No one will say anything nonsense."

Of course, Gu Jiaorong knew that the people in the camp would not say anything nonsense, but her cheeks were already hot, and she was obviously embarrassed to be seen.

Pei Xu raised the cloak in his hand and wrapped her tightly so that she would not be noticed.

Everything in front of her was pitch black. Even if it was just self-deception, Gu Jiaorong felt strangely at ease.

"If Your Highness says this, others might think that Your Highness is blinded by lust."

Gu Jiaorong's voice came from his chest, muffled and seemed to contain some hidden mischief.

"will not."

Pei Xu's tone was firm, and he raised his lips.

"Although the personalities of soldiers are a bit rough, if they have wives and children, they will definitely love them dearly. They will definitely understand me."

Gu Jiaorong naturally had no way to verify Pei Xu's words, so she could only bury her head deeper.

Gu Jiaorong had just released the ostrich for a while when she thought again, would the soldiers have any objections if they suddenly left the table?

Thinking this way, she asked

"Don't worry, Rong'er. They've been drinking, so they don't care about anything else. They must be drunk now."

Pei Xu chuckled softly. He knew that Gu Jiaorong was thin-skinned, so he didn't tell her that they had been secretly protected along the way, and that they also had people in the mountains.

Gu Jiaorong also didn't have the habit of getting to the bottom of things.

What made her even happier was that none of the things she had worried about along the way happened.

They didn't meet anyone until Pei Xu carefully carried her into the house.
