Chapter 175 The Prime Minister's Kitten

"There's also this little kitten?"

Yuanjia found it very intriguing and was about to suggest visiting the government residence when she heard Chu Xu say that the kitten had run away.

The Empress Dowager also felt sorry: "How could it have run away so suddenly?"

"Perhaps some children outside were naughty and bullied her."

Yuanjia, who loved small animals, was quite displeased by this.

"They would dare to bully the Prime Minister's kitten!"

Chu Xu smiled helplessly and said, "At that time, I was in Longnan."

Yuanjia said with disappointment, "Then there's nothing we can do."

A figure lingered outside the pavilion for a while. Zhu Yiqin, with her sharp eyes, asked, "Is someone here to see the Prime Minister?"

Chu Xu turned back and saw it was Zhiyan.

Stepping out of the pavilion, the two exchanged a few words in low voices, and then Chu Xu returned to take his leave.

"You're leaving already?"

Yuanjia was somewhat disappointed but still got up, saying she would see him off.

Chu Xu was about to refuse, citing the Empress Dowager as an excuse, but the Empress Dowager waved her hand, saying she was tired and they should disperse for the day.

The matchmaking atmosphere was too heavy, making Yuanjia feel a bit embarrassed.

"Go on."

Seeing the Empress Dowager's gesture, she hurriedly fetched her cloak and left with Chu Xu.

The Empress Dowager held her warming pan, smiling as she watched the two depart, sighing, "They really suit each other."

Once they were out of sight, the Empress Dowager said to Gao Wenyan, "I need to rest for a while, so I won't keep you, young lady."

Thus, Gao Wenyan was finally able to leave.

Just as she stepped out of the palace gate, she saw the government residence's carriage parked discreetly by the roadside, perhaps because of a private visit.

She raised an eyebrow; did Chu Xu really need to walk this long?

They must be truly reluctant to part.

However, after taking only a dozen steps, she changed her mind.

Chu Xu had just managed to end the conversation with Yuanjia and successfully left the palace. But as he lifted the curtain, he suddenly met a pair of smiling eyes.

The newly appointed general leaned lazily against his carriage, looking at him with a half-smile.

Glancing around, seeing no one, Chu Xu quickly climbed into the carriage.

He had barely sat down when Gao Wenyan grabbed his collar. Before her kiss could land, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her urgently into his embrace, starting a long, passionate kiss.

As the carriage slowly started moving, Gao Wenyan swayed and fell onto his lap, tilting her head to continue enjoying Chu Xu's affection.

When both were breathless, they finally parted slightly.

Gazing at him for a moment, Gao Wenyan couldn't resist kissing his lips again.

But a finger gently pressed against her forehead, stopping her from advancing.

Gao Wenyan looked at Chu Xu angrily, clearly dissatisfied with his behavior.

To soothe her, Chu Xu kissed her cheek and then said reproachfully, "Do you just want to take advantage of me?"

This made Gao Wenyan sound like Chen Shimei, a man who pursued women without responsibility.

But Chu Xu didn't deny it, saying, "Isn't that what you are?"

Gao Wenyan shrugged.

Innocently, she said, "I only desire you, how am I like Chen Shimei?"

Chu Xu found this very pleasing, lifting his chin and finally allowing her to kiss him.

Gao Wenyan didn't hesitate, wrapping her arms around his neck and lowering her head to continue the interrupted kiss.

Her fingers slowly traced his face, his hair, and his fingertips, then were caught by Chu Xu, intertwining their fingers.

Soft kisses landed on Gao Wenyan's neck, and Chu Xu's voice was light, yet she heard him clearly.

He said, "I love you."
