Chapter 597 Cliche

However, this baby was really on intimate terms with her.

Every day, he looked at her with his big, black and crystal-clear eyes. At that moment, Lin Mengya felt that she could no longer leave this baby alone.

Regarding Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya wanted to play a trick on him.

She would like to see his response after he, who had always been aloof from others, knew that she got a baby out of nowhere.

“You… He…”

Obviously, Long Tianyu did not expect the baby’s sudden showing up in Lin Mengya’s arms.

He walked behind Lin Mengya, and the two of them remained silent all the way.

It was not until they returned to Long Tianyu’s tent in the camp that Lin Mengya turned around and put the sleeping baby on Long Tianyu’s bed.

“He is the baby I adopt. Do you have any questions?”

Lin Mengya tilted her head and said softly.

All of a sudden, Long Tianyu swallowed the questions on the tip of his tongue.

He looked at the sleeping baby’s chubby face and then at Lin Mengya, who seemed to remain composed.

He finally nodded.

Lin Mengya smiled brightly, knowing that Long Tianyu would not turn her down.

She held Long Tianyu’s hand, and the two of them walked out of Long Tianyu’s tent together.

Outside, it was a scene of the reunion between husband and wife, father and baby.

The affection among family members, who had been separated for a long time, brought them back together. At least at this moment, the affection among them was sincere without any impurities.

However, such a scene did not arouse Lin Mengya’s and Long Tianyu’s strong emotions.

The two of them tacitly walked to the riverside with no one else around.

Now, the riverside, the liveliest place in the past few days, had quieted down at this moment.

“How have you been these days?”

Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu. Although they were not far away from each other, they had not seen each other for several days.

She reached out and touched the deep outline of Long Tianyu’s face. She had never thought that she was not a sentimental person. However, when she saw Long Tianyu, she involuntarily felt a burst of tenderness only between the two of them.

“Not good.”

She felt her slender waist was gripped by his iron arms.

He pulled her into his arms and finally smelled the fragrance of her hair again after all this time.

He took a deep breath subconsciously. No matter how busy he had been in the camp these days, at this moment, with her in his arms, he felt that his stress seemed to have been relieved.

He felt a pair of delicate hands were around his waist.

The two of them snuggled up to each other like this, which was as beautiful as a landscape painting.

“Silly, at this moment, you should say that you have been fine, even if only to comfort me.”

The silence was broken by Lin Mengya.

With a cunning smile, she teased.

Long Tianyu lowered his head and stared at her gentle eyes, lifting the corners of his mouth to show a rare smile.

“I don’t want to lie to you.”

“Silly!” Lin Mengya cursed him softly in her heart.

Lin Mengya lowered her head and leaned on Long Tianyu’s shoulder quietly.

“Madam Wu replaced her baby with this baby. I think that this baby must have something to do with the Wang family and the Wu Family. However, now the best solution is to raise him by ourselves.”

Lin Mengya explained in a soft voice. Long Tianyu should be clearer about this than her.

The Wu family was the trusted follower of the ancestors of the Long family, while the Wang family also had its background.

She still remembered that Madam Wu had said that she hated this baby.

Therefore, Lin Mengya thought that there might be some unexpected gains if she kept this baby with her.

“Well, it’s up to you. Be careful of Gu Die. Neither he nor his junior fellow apprentice is easy to deal with.”

Lin Mengya suddenly raised her head and looked at Long Tianyu with a strange look.

“I heard some news about you and Doctor Gu outside. You seem to have an ambiguous relationship with him?”

In an instant, Long Tianyu felt a chill.

He lowered his head and looked at Lin Mengya nervously. The rumors about him and Gu Die were nothing but baseless gossip.

However, the only thing he feared was to be misunderstood by Lin Mengya.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m not the kind of person who gets jealous easily. I’m just wondering what happened between you and him so that there are such rumors.”

Lin Mengya hid her smirk while talking. She had never expected that she would be so wicked that she enjoyed watching Long Tianyu get anxious.

He could only blame himself for being formidable.

She could probably have only an opportunity to watch him get anxious for a long time.

After carefully observing Lin Mengya and making sure that she was not angry at all, Long Tianyu breathed a long sigh of relief in secret.

“Nothing. We just talked throughout the night several times because of the plague.”

Long Tianyu gently rubbed Lin Mengya’s nose, and regained his calmness.

Lin Mengya reluctantly lowered her head.

She thought that she managed to make fun of him. Unexpectedly, Long Tianyu humored her on purpose.

“Well, I thought you were too thirsty to be choosy. By the way, have you made any progress in looking into the origin of the plague?”

Lin Mengya teased Long Tianyu. At this point, they had a tacit understanding long before.

Even if Long Tianyu was caught in bed with a woman, as long as Long Tianyu denied it, Lin Mengya would believe him unconditionally, not to mention she just heard some unfounded rumors.

This world was much more complicated than people imagined.

Sometimes, seeing was not necessarily believing.

“Gu Die and his junior fellow apprentice don’t know about the venomous insects, and they only found the antidote by accident. Now, the only certain thing is that they are not the one caused the plague with poison.”

Lin Mengya nodded. The result Long Tianyu got must be extremely detailed and real.

In that case, she could only give up finding out the origin of the plague through Gu Die for the time being.

It seemed that she could only think of a way to go to the place, where the plague began, and make an investigation.

“Your Highness, Doctor Gu invites both of you to his place.”

The two of them, who were embracing each other on the shore, did not avoid being seen by the guard coming to report.

After all, they were legal husband and wife. Although this degree of intimacy was a little out of line with etiquette, it could be considered acceptable.

However, the guards coming to report something felt embarrassed every time they saw this.

They had no idea where they should look in front of this kind of scene.

“He’s so arrogant that he thinks he can summon Your Highness at will.”

Long Tianyu, of course, did not take this invitation seriously. But somehow, Lin Mengya felt like making fun of Doctor Gu.

There was a smile on Lin Mengya’s face, but she said in a playful tone.

The guard coming to report felt his head was covered with cold sweat in an instant.

Prince Yu was known as a tough nut to crack. Now, even Princess Yu, who had always been sensible, seemed to have issues with Doctor Gu.

His job became increasingly tough.

“Doctor Gu must have something important to tell us. Tell him that His Highness will meet him in our tent and ask him to come over.”

Lin Mengya stopped talking in a playful tone.

The guard immediately left, and Lin Mengya slowly got out from Long Tianyu’s arms.

Unexpectedly, she met Long Tianyu’s explorative eyes.

With a bright smile, Lin Mengya tilted her head and looked into his eyes.

“You—”

He didn’t think his princess could hide any emotion of hers from him.

It had only been a few days since they last met, but he detected Lin Mengya’s difference.

In the past, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she would not show her emotion obviously on her face.

However, the sharp words didn’t seem like what she would say.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Mengya blinked her eyes and hid her difference.

In fact, only she knew that she just didn’t want to be a nice person anymore.

After all, a nice person was like a lamb roasted on fire by others.

Even if a nice person would be praised as a righteous hero after his death, he had to bear heart-wrenching misunderstandings and betrayals when he was alive.

Therefore, she chose not to be a nice person anymore.

Fuck the big picture. She would rather follow her heart than be an over-scrupulous person.

“Nothing. Let’s go.”

Perhaps he thought too much.

Lin Mengya was no less intelligent than him. Perhaps she had her reason to do so.

As the two of them walked into the camp, the passers-by bowed and paid their respects to them.

However, the two of them were equally aloof and just nodded slightly.

Such an indifferent and aloof attitude made those, who intended to curry favor with them or looked down on them, restrain themselves a little.

Lin Mengya followed Long Tianyu into Prince Yu’s tent.

As soon as they entered the tent, they saw a cyan-gray figure walking back and forth in the tent uneasily.

At the sight of Long Tianyu, the figure immediately came up to him.

Meanwhile, the figure showed a shy smile on her delicate face.

“Where have you been? I need to talk to you.”

Lin Mengya lowered her head and hid her sneer.

It was no wonder there was that kind of rumors.

A woman disguised as a man was indeed a cliche in a story between a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Unfortunately, the hero in this story was her husband.

“What’s the matter?”

Long Tianyu didn’t even look at Gu Die, just took his princess’s hand and asked her to sit in his seat.

It was only then that Gu Die noticed the pretty woman beside Long Tianyu.

Watching Long Tianyu’s thoughtful look in surprise, she realized that he had never been so gentle and modest in front of her.

“It’s… it’s about the plague. I heard that the babies are back. I want to give them a diagnosis for the sake of safety.”

Biting her lip, Gu Die still could not look away from the couple.

The stubbornness rooted in her bones and blood made it impossible for her to give up easily.

However, it was not until the woman sitting in Long Tianyu’s seat raised her head and looked at her that she realized why Long Tianyu had been indifferent to her all the time.
