Chapter 2073: Chapter 55: Reunion Once More

Ah Jiu made a special effort to return and spend New Year’s Eve with Wufu and her son without notifying Wufu beforehand, wanting to give her a surprise.

Wufu was indeed very surprised. The two had been apart for more than two months. Aside from worrying about him, she missed him terribly but chose not to express it due to the bigger picture at stake.

Watching Ah Jiu finish a bowl of chicken noodle soup, Wufu asked, "Was it enough? Should I ask someone to bring another bowl?"

"It was enough. In another hour, it will be time for the reunion dinner. A small bite for now will do." Ah Jiu pulled her close, scrutinized her closely, and said, "You look much healthier now, even a bit chubbier than before."

Wufu chuckled lightly, "I eat and sleep all day, like a pig. How could I not gain weight?"

"A little chubbier would be even better." Holding her hand, Ah Jiu felt the chill in her fingers, his heart darkened a bit, but he said nothing.

Xiao Bai had mentioned that her body was in poor condition and a complete recovery would take more than just a few months.

"Princess Consort, the hot water is ready," Purple Jade entered with a smile.

Wufu nodded and looked at Ah Jiu, "Shall I scrub your back?"

A glint of dark humor flashed in Ah Jiu’s eyes, "I won’t refuse your offer."

With that expression of sly badness, Wufu scolded him with an annoyed glance, recalling certain scenes, her body warmed slightly.

After a long drought, finding sweet dew; the two hadn’t been this close since Wufu left alone to lead troops. Now that Wufu’s body could handle it, Ah Jiu dared to let himself go, bonding with her in utmost intimacy.

After leaving the cleansing room, the servant entered with flushed cheeks to tidy up. Seeing Wufu’s blushing cheeks, Ah Jiu couldn’t help but steal a kiss.

"That’s enough." Wufu glared at him and asked, "Has the fighting ceased?"

Ah Jiu responded with a nod, "Prince Wei was injured, so both sides agreed to a truce, allowing the soldiers to have a breathing period for the New Year."

"This Prince Wei is full of schemes. We currently have a clear advantage over Beiyan, but we must be wary of him joining forces with Emperor Jiaping," said Wufu.

"Don’t worry, I have made preparations." Ah Jiu squeezed her hand.

The sound of a baby’s cry came through, and Wufu stood up looking towards the entrance, where indeed, Lady Liang was bringing Little Bun. Ah Jiu rose to look as well.

Wufu personally took her son, and Lady Liang, after greeting Ah Jiu, tactfully stepped back, leaving the space for the family of three.

"Take a look at your son." Wufu handed her son to Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu was about to quote the old saying of cherishing grandchildren over children, but Wufu had already pushed the child into his arms, prompting him to hold him and look at him with joy.

"Already grown this much?"

Chubby and fair, with very delicate features, it was almost impossible to tell he was actually a premature baby.

"Xiao Bai prepared medicinal soup, both internally and externally, which adjusted him well. As a result, he nursed more, and Aunt has already weaned Yaya to only provide him." Wufu said with some guilt.

Yaya was Lady Liang’s daughter. To ensure Little Bun’s nutrition, she weaned her daughter and arranged for the wet nurse to feed her.

Ah Jiu said, "Take a close look at Anan, the one from your little uncle. Train him well to be Little Bun’s helper in the future. As for Yaer, with you as her Princess Consort cousin, would there be any worry about finding her a good household?"

Though it seemed like a favor in return, often shared interests make relationships closer and unbreakable.

Wufu had this intention as well. In the Old Zhou family, it seems only her little uncle’s Anan had promise, so it wouldn’t do to waste a good talent.
