Aloof empress? Then who is the silly and innocent girl in my arms?

"Speaking of which, Lady Empress."

"Hmm?"

Seeing Lin Bai's hesitation, Su Qiyan's eyes showed doubt.

"Should I change my name for you?"

"It's not appropriate to call you Lady Empress all the time, considering our current relationship."

She reached out and touched the tip of her nose. From the beginning to the end, Lin Bai had always called Su Qiyan the Empress. Now that the two had already opened their hearts, it felt a bit distant to call her that again.

After hearing Lin Bai's words, Su Qiyan's pretty face turned slightly red. She had thought about this question before, but there was no suitable time to speak.

Now that Lin Bai mentioned it, Su Qiyan followed his words and asked:

"What do you want to call me?"

There was a trace of panic in her heart, and her hands hanging on her lower abdomen kept moving, unable to hide her expression at the moment.

"How about you call me husband and I call you wife?"

Lin Bai smiled expectantly, and couldn't help rubbing his hands, waiting for Su Qiyan's next words.

"Husband, mother...wife!?"

"No, no!"

Su Qiyan waved her hand and refused with a tremor in her heart. She felt that she and Xiaobai had not reached this point yet.

Besides, isn't this a title that will only be used after marriage?

"Don't you want to be my wife?"

Lin Bai's expectant eyes turned into disappointment. Seeing this expression, Su Qiyan didn't know how to respond.

If she had been Xiaobai's wife before, she would definitely refuse directly.

But now she wants to stay together every day in the future, to lie in Lin Bai's arms every moment, and to see the prosperity of the world with him.

Gradually, Su Qiyan's face became more rosy, and she shook her head quickly to get rid of her thoughts.

"Let's not talk about my husband and wife for now. It won't be too late when I get used to it later."

"If you don't mind, you can call me Yan... Yan'er."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end Lin Bai even had to listen carefully to hear what she said.

After Su Qiyan finished speaking, she felt as if her whole cheek was in the furnace, and the hot breath spread to her whole body.

"Yan'er? Not bad."

Mumbling in her mouth, Lin Bai looked down at the extremely shy Su Qiyan in front of her, her face flushed, and she didn't even dare to raise her head.

"Yan'er."

Hearing Lin Bai's soft call, Su Qiyan felt a little flustered.

"Yeah."

Nodding gently in response, she didn't feel uncomfortable when Li Qiuju called her Yan'er.

But when Lin Bai called her Yan'er, she was not as calm as when she faced Li Qiuju.

"Then I'll call you that from now on."

"Yeah."

Nodding again, Su Qiyan was a little confused. Hugs, kisses, and even close to being honest.

Why did she feel so shy because of a name?

Seeing Su Qiyan lowering her head and not saying a word, Lin Bai took two steps forward and held her delicate hand.

"Yan'er, let's go shopping."

For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Lin Bai call her Yan'er.

As if seeing Su Qiyan's current poor condition, Lin Bai reached out and stroked her head, with a hint of intimate smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Get used to it."

"Before you called me Xiaobai, it took me several days to get used to it."

Hearing this, Su Qiyan seemed to think of Lin Bai's surprised expression at the time, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Who told you to tease me all the time before."

"This is revenge."

She raised her fist and shook it in front of Lin Bai's eyes. Lin Bai had always teased her, even when he was tempering her body, and would suddenly hold her in his arms from time to time.

Su Qiyan thought about how to take revenge on him. Since she couldn't escape, she chose to join him. As long as she could cause him a little psychological fluctuation, she would gain something.

"What about revenge? Aren't you mine now?"

She put her arm around Su Qiyan's waist and lowered her head to meet her shy eyes.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, I'm not yours."

She made a few spitting sounds, clenched her fist and knocked on his chest a few times. Su Qiyan broke free from Lin Bai's arms and ran away, not forgetting to turn around and make a face at him.

"Yan'er, you are really... cute to me."

She held her forehead with one hand and tried to suppress the shock in her heart. The moment she turned her head, Lin Bai felt that this life was worth it.

He quickly followed Su Qiyan, who slowed down tacitly, waiting for Lin Bai to catch up, and opened her arms to hug his arms.

Gradually, the two came to the lake in Lan Di City again. At this time, there were many figures on the shore, two Taoist couples looking at each other affectionately, and some of them were holding a lotus emitting light in their hands.

When he saw the lotus lantern, Lin Bai noticed Su Qiyan's expression. Sure enough, curiosity appeared on her cheeks, and one of them wasMixed with a little longing.

He had heard of lotus lanterns in his previous life. Lotus lanterns are also called water lanterns. They are used to mourn the dead and bless the living.

But Lin Bai didn't intend to say it out loud, for fear of causing the scars in Su Qiyan's heart again.

"Yan'er, should we buy one too?"

"Can we?"

Hearing Lin Bai's voice, Su Qiyan looked at him with big eyes blinking in anticipation, and asked subconsciously.

"Of course..."

After a pause, Lin Bai turned around, raised his hand to cover his chest, and felt his violently beating heart. At this time, Su Qiyan's expression was really hard for him to resist.

But he couldn't help but peek. The two pure eyes were full of expectations, and the fair face brought Lin Bai an unparalleled impact.

He suddenly had a feeling, whose daughter was this?

Su Qiyan held his hand and walked towards the stall selling lotus lanterns. Lin Bai couldn't help but smile intoxicatedly.

It turned out that this good daughter was his own.

If Su Qiyan knew what he was thinking at this moment, she would definitely speak without hesitation:

[I treat you as my lover, but you treat me as your daughter? ]

Just when Lin Bai was immersed in his fantasy, Su Qiyan had already pulled him to the corner beside the lake, where several scattered small stalls were placed.

There were several figures standing in front of each stall. Su Qiyan chose a stall with fewer figures, let go of Lin Bai's hand, and picked up a pink lotus lantern.

She loved lotus since she was a child. Now she held the lotus lantern herself, and Su Qiyan smiled.

"Boss, what does the lotus lantern mean?"

Lin Bai was attracted by her words and came out of his fantasy. Sure enough, after hearing Su Qiyan's words, the boss immediately prepared to explain:

"It is used to mourn, mourn... Gulp!"

"Mourn for what?"

Seeing that he was halfway through his words, Su Qiyan frowned slightly. The stall owner did not respond to her words, but turned to look in the direction of Lin Bai.

He swallowed his saliva secretly and thought about all the people he had offended in his life, but none of them should come to take his life.

Then why did the young man in front of him show such a strong murderous intent to him, and glanced at Su Qiyan again. Could it be that he didn't want him to say the meaning of the lotus lantern?

Apart from this, he couldn't think of any other connection.
