Chapter 2731: Vain Boaster

Long Rui praised Xuexue without a hint of reservation, wearing a charming smile: "Wife, you truly are skillful. Marrying you is my great fortune."

Xuexue nodded in agreement, "Yes, and I can also get rid of any women trying to come between us. Where would you find such a wonderful wife?"

Long Rui wrapped his arms around her waist, his chin resting on top of Xuexue’s head, her fine hair brushing against his skin, filling him with tenderness. With a slightly husky voice, he asked, "Wife, what’s wrong? Are you jealous?"

Xuexue playfully retorted, "You shameless! Who’s jealous of you?"

Long Rui good-naturedly laughed, "Yes, yes, of course, you’re not jealous, it’s me who’s jealous, alright?"

Xuexue was embroidering a handkerchief when Long Rui moved around and accidentally bumped her arm...

"Ouch!"

The needle accidentally pricked Xuexue’s finger. Although it didn’t hurt much, the unexpected prick made her furrow her brows.

"Wife, are you alright?"

"You still ask? It’s all your fault, leaning in so close for no reason!"

"Wife, I’m sorry, let me help you stop the bleeding."

With that, Long Rui grabbed her bleeding finger without hesitation and began to suck on it.

Xuexue was taken aback, a strange feeling spread through her heart. She wanted to pull her finger back, but Long Rui held it tightly, not letting it go.

Seeing him lower his head, focused on sucking her finger to stop the bleeding, she felt deeply moved.

After a while, Long Rui finally let go, focusing intently on her finger, and said, "Wife, don’t worry, it’s not bleeding anymore!"

"Thank you, Prince!"

Living again, this man treated her the best.

"What are you thanking me for? You’re my wife, I’m your husband, isn’t it my duty to care for you?" Long Rui flashed an irresistible smile.

Xuexue was momentarily lost in his gaze.

"Wife!"

Long Rui brought his face closer until he was almost cheek to cheek with her and called out.

The sudden closeness startled Xuexue, "What... what are you doing?"

"Wife, have you fallen for me?"

"Stop being so full of yourself, who would fall for you?"

"You can’t deny it, you’re even drooling!"

Upon hearing this, Xuexue quickly raised her arm to wipe her mouth, but halfway through, she remembered Long Rui had tricked her like this before.

Sure enough, Long Rui’s hearty laughter rang out...

"Wife, you’re feeling guilty, aren’t you? Still claim you have no designs on me? You’ve been exposed!"

"Get lost!" Xuexue, embarrassed and angry, stood up and shoved the handkerchief into Long Rui’s arms, "Since the Prince is so leisurely, embroider it yourself!"

She then turned and walked out.

Long Rui was dumbfounded, oh no, this time the joke went too far and his wife ran off in a huff...

"Wife, wife, where are you going?" Long Rui called out loudly from behind.

As Xuexue walked out, she said, "To chop down those meddling women."

Long Rui chased after her, calling out, "Wife, haven’t you chopped them all down? Where are there any women left?"

Xuexue had just stepped out the door when she suddenly remembered that Long Rui wasn’t wearing his mask. If he chased after her, wouldn’t his true identity be exposed? Even though she cleared out a lot of spies today, who knows if any slipped through the net?

So she quickly turned around and went back into the room, closing the door behind her.

Long Rui caught up and put his arms around her waist, flashing that irresistible smile, "I knew it, wife. You couldn’t bear to leave me and wouldn’t abandon me like that."

Xuexue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop being so full of yourself. You, who claim to be a wise War God, didn’t even think to wear a mask and just ran out. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?"
