Momentary Pleasure in Tormenting the Wife...

In the bedroom, behind the scarlet canopy, candlelight flickered as Mu Yuyan approached the bedside with a tray of hot tea, speaking in a tender voice, "Mr. Gu, have a cup of ginseng tea. It's good for sleep."

Gu Lan smiled faintly, turning to look at her. "Madam is thoughtful."

Mu Yuyan's eyes shimmered as she gently smoothed the hem of her skirt, sitting by the bed with feigned tenderness, "Now that Mr. Gu is to become a noble, we should hire more servants in the mansion to adapt to this level of service."

"Haha..."

Gu Lan knew she was leading the conversation somewhere, so he watched her performance quietly, smiling without a word.

Feeling a bit guilty under his gaze, Mu Yuyan cleared her throat and tentatively asked, "Mr. Gu, why do we have to move back to Lang Province? Is there something unpleasant about staying in the capital?"

"Do you like the capital?" Gu Lan countered.
