Brother Hu, who was three months old, was not Li Mu's opponent. Li Mu attracted his son's attention with a caterpillar.

Li Mu put a small gray bug in his palm and then came to his son.

The caterpillar twisted and twisted, Chen Jiao frowned and looked at the side, but Brother Hu stared at the caterpillar curiously. As he looked, the person was carried over by his own father.

Chen Jiao had no choice but fortunately she didn't expect her son to know how to be in the same heart as her at such a young age.

At night, the group stayed at the inn.

Brother Hu was taken away by the wet nurse after falling asleep. Chen Jiao's care for her son was limited to the daytime and she was too tired at night.

After sitting in a carriage for a day, I must take a bath before going to bed. The couple has a noble status, and the inn diligently arranged the best guest room. The room is very large and a screen covers the bathtub. The maids brought water in and went out. Li Mu sat by the bed, without leaving to avoid suspicion. Chen Jiao looked at him coldly, and did not chase anyone away.

The two of them pretend to be husband and wife and sleep together every night. It doesn’t make sense to avoid suspicion at this time.

She went to take a shower, Li Mu looked at him without squinting, holding a book in his hand, but his chest was a little hot.

Chen Jiao washed it briefly and then came out. She wore a white middle coat and walked straight to the dressing table to carry her hair.

Li Mu did not call water again and went directly into the bathtub that Chen Jiao had just used. When he came out, Chen Jiao was already lying on the bed with his back towards him.

Li Mu turned off the light and when he lay down, he smelled the fragrance on her body, which was more of a nice smell of milk.

Li Mu did not hate the petite lady who had lost her memory, and even felt a little pity. After knowing that she had been resenting him for standing by and watching, Li Mu was also moved. The resentment was because he cared too much. The longer she complained, the more he had a higher position in her heart. Later, she gave birth to a tiger brother for him, and when she saw her cold and angry look, Li Mu felt a little guilty.

Before she recovered her memory, he should be kind to her when she was willing to be his woman.

The next morning, Li Mu arranged an errand for Gao Jun who was accompanying him.

It was another day of carriage trip. Brother Hu fell asleep. Chen Jiao took a nap with her eyes closed and slept lightly. When a regular sound of the car sounded, Chen Jiao opened her eyes.

Brother Hu was placed on the narrow couch next to her by Li Mu. Li Mu sat cross-legged in front of Brother Hu, with a bag of melon seeds in his arms. When Chen Jiao looked over, Li Mu happened to peel a melon seed, put the melon seed kernels on the right plate, and threw the melon seed skin into the small bamboo basket on the left.

After peeling a few in a row, Li Mu looked up and seemed to look at Brother Hu.

Chen Jiao closed her eyes in time.

But she could hear that Li Mu kept peeling until Brother Hu woke up.

After yesterday, the two of them had a tacit understanding of each other. After serving Brother Hu, Li Mu took the initiative to go outside.

Brother Hu was full, and Li Mu came in again.

The carriage was filled with a faint smell of milk. Brother Hu, who had eaten and drunk enough, opened his black phoenix eyes and smiled when he saw his biological father.

Li Mu took Brother Hu to his arms, then handed the plate on the cabinet to Chen Jiao, and looked at her gently with black eyes: "I remember, you like to eat five-spice."

Chen Jiao turned her face away and said lightly: "I don't like to eat now."

Li Mu's hand was frozen in the air.

Brother Hu twisted his body and wanted to be enough for what he had in his father's hand. Li Mu smiled and put the plate on Chen Jiao's side to concentrate on coaxing his son.

In the afternoon, Li Mu changed the taste of melon seeds and peeled them for her.

Chen Jiao still doesn't eat it.

Li Mu peeled her melon seeds for five consecutive days, but Chen Jiao didn't move a single melon seed kernel.

That night, Li Mu did not turn off the lights and lay on the bed. He reached his hand in front of Chen Jiao.

The man's fingers are slender. People who practice martial arts have a calluse on their palms and finger belly. Now there is another mark on his index finger belly. It is left by peeling too many melon seeds.

"I didn't let you peel it." Chen Jiao's tone remained indifferent.

"I'm willing." Li Mu said half-supported his body and looked at her fair side face.

Chen Jiao's lips raised, and she smiled sarcastically: "Don't show it to me." After that, she moved a piece inside, clearly not wanting to pay attention to him.

Li Mu smiled bitterly, the angry woman was so cruel that she was also impressive.

After sleeping for a while, when Li Mu woke up in the morning, he looked at the silhouette of the little woman beside him and decided to continue peeling it.

So, from Chang'an City to Pingcheng, the entire official road was covered with melon seed skins left by Lord Li, the prefect of Hexi County. He peeled too much, and Brother Hu learned it. Li Mu put the melon seeds in Brother Hu'er's hand. Brother Hu, who had grown up for another month, clumsyly snatched them with his hands. He wanted to stuff them into his mouth if he couldn't pick them, but was stopped by Li Mu in time.

Before noon, the carriage finally stopped outside the prefect's mansion.

Li, his son Wu Qingsong and his daughter Wu Xiu'e all came to greet him.

Seeing the tiger brother who looked like Li Mu in the cradle, Li was very happy and asked Chen Jiao all kinds of concern for her. Wu Qingsong was dull and honest, looking at him silently, only Wu Xiu'e stared at Chen Jiao with an envious and jealous look.

In the afternoon, Li stayed with Chen Jiao for a long time. Chen Jiao realized that in the first month, Li Mu returned from Chang'an and set a marriage for Wu Xiu'e with thunder. Wu Xiu'e cried, made a fuss, and hanged her. Li Mu's cousin was more majestic than her father and set the wedding date in mid-June. As for Wu Xiu'e's husband, he was the magistrate of a county town in Hexi County. He was a Jinshi of 25 or 26 years old. He was young and promising and definitely worthy of Wu Xiu'e.

The first day he returned home, and Li Mu went to the official office the next day. Manager Yan suddenly asked to see Chen Jiao. He handed over various account books and cards at Li Mu's order, and then Chen Jiao's housekeeper was given.

Chen Jiao didn't give Yan a cold face, but said that she wanted to take care of Brother Hu, and she didn't have the energy to manage the accounts, so she shirked.

"Don't care about the accounts, do you really want to be angry with me for the rest of your life?"

At dusk, Li Mu came back, changed his clothes, and went straight to the backyard to ask Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao sat on the couch next to the window, and Brother Hu was lying on his back in his big red bellyband. While putting the cotton ball that his son pushed over back into his son's hand, Chen Jiao casually said: "I may recover my memory at any time. I can't talk to adults for the rest of my life. Instead of taking care of the accounts separately, it's better not to interfere with each other now."

Li Mu suddenly realized that what she cared most was his words, "When she recovered her memory, he would respect her choice."

"Brother Hu is so old, do you think I will let you go?" Taking off his boots, Li Mu sat next to Chen Jiao and held her hand.

Chen Jiao broke away with a cold face: "If Brother insists on taking me away, how dare you stop me?"

"Unless I die, he will not want to touch you again." Li Mu hugged her, Chen Jiao struggled, and he hugged her tighter and raised her chin.

Chen Jiao was furious and said, "Let go."

Li Mu looked at her stubborn face and said in a deep voice: "Jiaojiao, I won't make the same mistake twice."

Even if she recovered her memory, she was still Hu Ge'er's mother. Even if Li Mu didn't like her like that, he would not make her entangled with another man anymore.

Facing the man's swearing eyes, Chen Jiao sneered: "Without Brother Hu, would you say that?"

"No." Li Mu answered truthfully, then he looked at their Hu Ge'er curiously and smiled: "But we have Hu Ge. If you are willing to give birth to a baby for me, I will raise you for the rest of my life."

"I don't care." Chen Jiao struggled again and said in anger: "If it weren't for the forced force of his father, you thought I would..."

Before he finished speaking, his lips were suddenly covered by Li Mu with his hands. Chen Jiao raised his head angrily. Li Mu changed to pressing his fingers against her lips and reminded softly: "Don't say angry words in front of Brother Hu, be careful that he remembers it."

When Chen Jiao heard this, she turned around and looked at Brother Hu.

When Brother Hu saw his mother looking at him, he grinned and was silly.

Chen Jiao's momentum was lowered.

Li Mu finally saw hope of reconciliation with her.

As night fell, Chen Jiao came back from bathing and saw Li Mu sitting cross-legged on the bed wearing a white midi, peeling melon seeds again.

Chen Jiao walked over with an expressionless face, walked around Li Mu and climbed into the bed, and lay down directly.

Li Mu peeled a handful of at least a hundred and felt that it was almost done, so he pushed Chen Jiao's arm and said, "Get up and eat melon seeds."

Chen Jiao didn't move.

Li Mu continued to push her.

Chen Jiao was angry and shook his arm away, stared at him and said, "I won't eat!"

Li Mu knew that she had him in her heart, and the two of them were talking in the evening. Why was she angry now? In his eyes, they were all a woman's temper.

"At least try one." Li Mu pinched a melon seed and brought it to her mouth.

Chen Jiao pursed her lips tightly.

Li Mu smiled and said, "If you don't eat, don't even want to sleep tonight."

Chen Jiao glared at him, grabbed his melon seeds very reluctantly, threw them into her mouth and chewed them for a few times before swallowing them. Just as she was about to continue lying over, Li Mu suddenly pressed over.

"What are you doing?" Chen Jiao pushed his shoulder hard.

Li Mu breathed smoothly, and his hands were on both sides of her. Looking at her eyes that were getting more and more shimmering because of her anger, he looked gentle: "If you accept my token of love, you will forgive me."

Token of love, a five-spice melon seed kernel?

"Down, I at least respect you as a gentleman." Chen Jiao said unshakably.

Li Mu's eyes moved from her eyes to her bright red lips and said hoarsely: "When did I say I want to be a gentleman?"

After saying that, Li Mu suddenly lowered his head.

Chen Jiao subconsciously closed her eyes and turned her head to the side.

Li Mu stopped by her white earlobe. When Chen Jiao opened her eyes in confusion, Li Mu said to her ear: "Jiaojiao, I was wrong before. Forgive me once, let's start over?"

Chen Jiao pursed her lips.

Li Mu waited patiently, and his warm breath blew in her ears.

After a while, tears rolled down from Chen Jiao's eyes. As the tears increased, her shoulders trembled gently.

Li Mu immediately turned over, hugged the person in his arms, and wiped her tears with pity: "It's me that's not good. I admit that you punish me, as long as you are willing to forgive me."

Chen Jiao just cried, and as she cried, her little hand grabbed his shoulder hard: "He bullied me, you obviously saw it..."

Li Mu suddenly felt guilty, really guilty.

"I'm sorry, but I promise, there will be no next time." Li Mu held her hand and put it on his lips to kiss.
