It could be said that every step they took followed Xie Limo's plans perfectly.

Xie Limo could see the big picture of the situation in the capital and took all the n.o.ble families into consideration as he began to devise his plans.

Xie Wu and Xie Liu watched as Young Master Xie cast his net out step by step. Deep down, they felt elated as well.

Many officials in the capital were the lackeys of the various n.o.ble families. They targeted Young Master Xie in Gui County and made Young Madam suffer so much pain. This time, Young Master Xie had no choice but to strike so ruthlessly.

Ever since they came back to the capital, Yun Bixue would sleep on the brick bed every few days. She felt that sleeping on the brick bed made her body feel really comfortable and relaxed when she woke up in the morning.

The kind of warmth and energy it gave her was really uncomparable.

For the past few days, Xie Limo was like a wolf, swallowing Yun Bixue whole, almost without any room for discussion at all.

Every time Yun Bixue pleaded for mercy, Xie Limo would say, "Xue, didn't we want a child? I'm working very hard for that now."

Yun Bixue did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was working so hard that her waist was about to break.

However, there was a good thing about sleeping on the brick bed. It was that no matter how tired and sore she felt, the soreness on her body would have mostly disappeared when she woke up the next day.

Xie Limo prepared breakfast and came over to the brick bed. Seeing that Yun Bixue had already opened her eyes, he said, "You're awake so early? Don't you want to sleep for a while more?"

Yun Bixue shook her head. "There are still many things to do in the capital, so I can't slack off now. Also, since my leg has recovered, it's time for me to get busy."

As Yun Bixue said that, she sat up. She did not realize that the blanket had slipped off her, revealing the exquisite skin on her collarbone.

A dark glow flashed across Xie Limo's eyes as he stared at her. It was as if waves were tumbling in his eyes. His gaze was fiery and burning, as if it could light a person on fire.

Yun Bixue was about to put on her clothes when Xie Limo suddenly hugged her and met her lips with a lingering kiss.

"Oh…" Yun Bixue widened her eyes. They had been at it for the entire night, but this morning he still…

Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue's skin that was as smooth as satin and sighed lightly by her ear. "Xue, you starved me for more than a month. You know that, right?"

Yun Bixue's face flushed red as she lightly punched Xie Limo's chest. "You can't make up for that in just one or two days either."

Xie Limo kissed her ear softly and said in a gentle voice, "Be good. I'm the one who can't control myself now."

Ever since they came back from Gui County, the two of them were really careful about not touching the emotional wounds in their hearts. They were not able to relax fully until they came back from Ning An City this time.

She suddenly felt happier and more relaxed, which in turn made him happier as well. Moreover, her leg had recovered now. Not being intimate with her would be a letdown to his deep love for her.

Yun Bixue glanced at the sky outside and pushed Xie Limo a little as she said, "The sun is up now. I haven't done anything for the past two days."

"Xue, don't move around." A dark glow appeared in Xie Limo's eyes. It was a burning pa.s.sion that Yun Bixue could not resist.

"Limo, I…" She felt that ever since they came back this time, Xie Limo became more pa.s.sionate than ever in this aspect.

She understood in her heart as well. The two of them went through life-and-death situations, and it would be impossible even if they wanted to suppress the pa.s.sion and love they felt in their hearts.

She loved him, and he loved her. What was more important than that?

Yun Bixue's expression softened. She took the initiative to kiss Xie Limo's lips.

Xie Limo's body stiffened as his whole body was on fire. He exhaled before he said, "Xue, I really can't control it this time."
