On the way back, my mind was heavy with thoughts.
The old man comforted me, saying, "There is no need for the Princess to worry."
Upon returning to the Li Clan, the sound of drums and music filled the air.
The servants stood at the entrance, greeting me, "Congratulations, Princess! The Master has emerged from his retreat."
As I entered the chambers, I saw my husband playing with an egg.
Chen Yuan, with his silver hair tied up in a crown and dressed in white, exuded an aura of cool elegance. He held the egg gently, pointing at the Night Pearl on the wall, speaking softly.
"Child, all these pearls belong to you."
"You can ask your father for anything you desire."
His cold features were softened with affection as he looked at the egg.
I froze, hesitant to approach.
He turned to me and walked over, softly apologizing.
"I'm sorry; I broke my promise and made you suffer."
"I didn't expect you to lay an egg. Our Li Clan hasn't seen an egg in hundreds of years."
"The Child is healthy; it just needs some time to hatch."
My eyes reddened slightly. "I thought you would blame me."
He sighed, "How could I ever blame you?"
"It’s my fault for not finding you sooner."
"I was weak and delayed things."
It was then that I realized I still didn’t know his true identity.
"That day..."
Chen Yuan's face flushed slightly. "That day was during my heat cycle, and I had also been drinking..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to find you there."
I shook my head, my gaze soft. "Without you, there wouldn't be me and Child."
I hesitated for a moment before asking, "When will Child hatch?"
Chen Yuan shook his head. "That's a secret."
He pulled me into his embrace and whispered, "I've been struggling during this time too."
I blushed and pushed him away. "The egg is still here."
Chen Yuan gently placed the egg in its nest and led me to the bedroom.
He pressed me down onto the bed and leaned over me.
I pushed against him. "It's still daytime."
Chen Yuan breathed softly in my ear. "My mating season isn't over yet."
"You are my princess; you can't refuse me."
Afterward, I lay on the bed feeling utterly drained.
Chen Yuan looked at me like a hungry wolf.
I felt uneasy under his gaze.
"Don't look at me like that."
Chen Yuan wrapped his arms around me. "I truly didn't expect to find you there."
"I searched for you for a long time."
I closed my eyes and fell asleep in his arms.
Chen Yuan began to establish a regular routine.
Aside from handling official matters, he spent time with me and the egg.
We felt like an old married couple.
One day, he brought a wedding invitation. "Are you going?"
I took a look and saw it was from Yu Lan and the others.
The purpose was to get Bai Hong to attend the Trial Conference.
In my previous life, Bai Hong soared to great heights during this conference. From that moment on, my position within the family became even more secure. This time, Bai Hong should be even stronger. Perhaps this foreshadows some impending changes. A sense of foreboding lingered in my heart.
On the day of the Trial Conference, I went with Chen Yuan. When the Second Princess, Yu Lan, saw me, she rolled her eyes. "What kind of riffraff is showing up here?"
"This Trial Conference is not for just anyone to attend," she scoffed.
Chen Yuan grasped my hand and coldly replied, "My woman is not someone you can criticize."
Yu Lan's face twisted in anger. "Who do you think you are?"
"Do you have any right to speak here?" Chen Yuan shielded me behind him. "I am indeed not just anyone."
"I am the Li Clan Head."
Yu Lan's face turned crimson with rage. I couldn't help but smile.
"I would like to see who dares to drive her away."
The host hurried over, repeatedly apologizing and promptly leading us to the VIP seats. I tugged at Chen Yuan's sleeve and whispered, "How do you have the right to sit here?"
Chen Yuan smiled mysteriously. "You'll find out soon enough."
I looked at his profile in confusion. The conference was about to begin.
