CHAPTER 52: Extra 2

Royal weddings involve numerous ceremonial procedures, and as the wedding date approached, Shu Yanyan became increasingly nervous. She repeatedly went through the process with Chu Yu, checking it step by step.

Chu Yu was internally complaining, but on the surface, she had to put on a cooperative appearance and sacrifice their intimate time together to accompany Shu Yanyan in learning. However, she wasn't fully focused, and her eyes occasionally drifted to Shu Yanyan's small belly.

After a few instances of this, the distracted Emperor was caught in the act by Shu Yanyan!

Shu Yanyan wrinkled her little nose. "What are you looking at? Why do you have such an absent-minded expression?"

Chu Yu felt somewhat helpless and directly focused on her belly, asking, "The doctor said the fetus is unstable in the first three months, and you shouldn't engage in strenuous activities. I was wondering... how much longer until three months pass?"

Shu Yanyan was momentarily confused, but after realizing what Chu Yu meant, she punched her shoulder with her little fist.

"What are you always thinking about!"

Chu Yu laughed and tugged at her, eventually succeeding in locking Shu Yanyan in her embrace.

After this playful exchange, a slight blush appeared on Shu Yanyan's face. Chu Yu pinched the little bunny's cheek and, restraining her own mischievous thoughts, said seriously, "Alright, let's stop playing and continue."

She picked up the guest list beside them. "Where were we just now?"

Shu Yanyan rolled her eyes at her. "I knew you weren't listening carefully."

She took the guest list and casually flipped through it. Suddenly, she remembered something and looked up at Chu Yu. "By the way... I remember you had a good friend named Miss Ge Meng, right? In this wedding, did you not invite her?"

Upon hearing that name, Chu Yu's brows furrowed.

She didn't let Shu Yanyan notice her unease and casually replied, "No, I didn't invite her."

Shu Yanyan pressed further, "Why not?"

She still had a strong impression of this person in her heart. After all, before her, Miss Ge was the most favored candidate for the Empress position in the Star Network media.

Chu Yu sighed.

She thought for a moment and decided to truthfully explain the situation to Shu Yanyan. "Although I lost my memory of those two missing years, I have been investigating the events that happened during that time. Besides the official Imperial investigation team, I also hired a private mercenary group... which is Miss Ge Meng's team."

Shu Yanyan nodded. "Oh, and then?"

Chu Yu played with her hair while continuing, "But Miss Ge's team hasn't been able to find any useful clues. After we reunited, I went to see her. Initially, I thought she was not doing her job properly, and I wanted to terminate the contract. However, during the investigation, I discovered that she had obtained some important clues on the day the three of us met at the supermarket. However... due to her personal desires, she destroyed those clues."

"After that, I filed a lawsuit against her in accordance with Imperial law."

"Ah?" Shu Yanyan was surprised. "You filed a lawsuit? So, what happened to her now?"

Chu Yu knew what she was going to ask and shook her head. "I'm not sure either. I handed the matter over to Xiao Yun to handle. However, unless there are unexpected circumstances, she will face a period of confinement and a fine that is double the amount of the commission."

Shu Yanyan nodded thoughtfully and asked again, "Why did she destroy those important pieces of information?"

Chu Yu snorted coldly. "That's not important. What's important is that because of her actions, we were delayed for so long in reuniting. She needs to pay the price for her behavior."

Shu Yanyan sighed and nodded.

Chu Yu found it somewhat amusing. "Why are you sighing?"

Shu Yanyan said, "...No reason. I just feel that deep down, she isn't a bad person. But since you've already filed a lawsuit, let the Imperial law judge her."

If Ge Meng really wanted to prevent her from reuniting with Chu Yu, given her social status, she could have had more ways to do so. But she only destroyed the data, which can be considered as having good intentions.

Chu Yu lowered her head and rubbed her chin against Shu Yanyan's hair.

"Yeah."

Her thoughts were similar to Shu Yanyan's.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have simply filed a lawsuit against the other party. You see, if she wanted to, she could have involved the Supreme Court, and the charge of obstructing the Emperor carries much heavier consequences than obstructing a citizen.

Shu Yanyan flipped through the guest list, skipping that topic.

She continued to recognize the people on the list and then pointed to a name and asked, "This... Chu Ming, is he your uncle? Why is his seat placed so far back? Did they make a mistake?"

Chu Yu glanced at the name and said directly, "Don't worry about him. He won't come to this wedding, and neither will his direct royal relatives."

Shu Yanyan turned to look at her. "Why?!"

Chu Yu pinched her little face. "Is Yanyan so curious?"

Shu Yanyan patted her hand. "I need to know what I should know! Don't tease me!"

Chu Yu laughed. "Well, I can't tell you for free then. How about... you kiss me, and I'll give you a different answer to your question?"

Shu Yanyan gritted her teeth. "Chu... Yu...!"

Chu Yu tightened her arms, firmly holding the little rabbit in her embrace. This way, no matter how angry the little rabbit got, she couldn't escape.

After securing this insurance, Chu Yu raised her eyebrows. "You've asked me so many questions before, and I didn't charge you for them. How come now you're unwilling to give me a kiss?"

Shu Yanyan tried to struggle, but unsurprisingly, she failed.

She puffed up her cheeks and reluctantly gave Chu Yu's cheek a peck.

"Is that enough now?"

Chu Yu smiled cunningly.

But she kept her promise, "The Imperial Uncle has been having some trouble lately, so he might stay on his own territory planet for 'retirement' in the future."

Shu Yanyan tilted her head.

She looked at Chu Yu and tentatively asked, "Trouble? Did you cause it?"

Chu Yu didn't say a word, she just leaned in closer with her mouth.

Her intention was clear—

A kiss in exchange for an answer.

Familiar with the routine, Shu Yanyan smoothly moved and met her halfway.

She thought it would be a simple peck this time as well, but unexpectedly, as soon as her lips touched Chu Yu's, they were sucked in by the other person. The next second, Chu Yu's kisses poured down like a sudden rain, catching Shu Yanyan off guard.

At first, the little rabbit just passively endured, but gradually, she also got into it, actively entangling with Chu Yu, occasionally letting out pleasurable moans.

By the time they separated, Shu Yanyan was left breathless, unable to utter a word.

Chu Yu caressed her cheek and confidently explained, "This question is more important, so I have to 'charge a bit more'."

Shu Yanyan gritted her teeth.

When her breath calmed down a bit, she finally spoke, "This is 'opaque pricing'! If you had told me earlier that this question was more 'expensive,' I wouldn't have asked!"

Chu Yu laughed, "That won't do. Publicly revealing the 'pricing' would suppress Yanyan's curiosity."

Shu Yanyan glared at her.

She thought for a moment and didn't want to be at a disadvantage. "Alright, we've kissed, can you tell me now?"

Chu Yu nodded.

She admitted openly, "Yes, it was indeed me."

Shu Yanyan asked, "Why?"

After saying this, she instinctively covered her mouth, "This question is also included in the previous one, right? You can't charge me again!"

Chu Yu pinched her small chin. "Alright, consider it a discount for a loyal customer."

After some thought, she continued, "Chu Ming is not a very honest person. He lacks ability but is obsessed with becoming the Emperor. So he often secretly opposed me. Most of the negative information about me that you saw on the star network was released by him. Even my initial disappearance had a lot to do with him."

If it weren't for reuniting with Shu Yanyan and being busy with her own wedding, Chu Yu should have already settled the score with him at this point. However... there are priorities and urgencies. Chu Yu temporarily suppressed him within her territory, waiting to deal with him properly in the future.

Shu Yanyan felt a bit anxious, and Chu Yu quickly reassured her, "But now everything is fine. I used to spare him because he was my uncle. But now... I will protect you and Yunmiao and won't give him a chance to turn things around. Leave it to me, and consider this person nonexistent."

Shu Yanyan nodded.

Chu Yu took the guest list, "Mother doesn't want to see him either, so she intentionally placed him at the back and didn't introduce him to you. I'll let her know later that he won't be coming. By the way, we can also modify this guest list."

Shu Yanyan agreed, "We should inform Mother."

Chu Yu curled her lips.

She leaned closer to Shu Yanyan until their foreheads touched, and then she stopped.

"Alright, this question is settled. Is there anything else you want to ask, Yanyan?"

Shu Yanyan blushed and said, "Forget it... There's nothing else I need to know."

After speaking, she pushed away Chu Yu's arms and tried to slip away from her embrace.

Unfortunately, the little rabbit was never a match for the big fox, especially since she was carrying their baby at the moment.

Chu Yu lifted her hand and pulled her back to her side."Tsk tsk, that won't do."

Shu Yanyan asked, "Huh?"

Chu Yu caressed her cheek. "In my opinion, our future Empress, there are still many things you need to know."

Shu Yanyan's gaze wandered, avoiding eye contact. "Uh, l-like what?"

"For example..." Chu Yu lowered her head slowly, "for example, understanding what your Emperor likes to see, eat, and do..."

Shu Yanyan shook her head frantically. "I don't want to know those things!"

Or rather, she had already "personally" understood those things a long time ago!

Chu Yu smiled. "But I want Yanyan to know."

Shu Yanyan leaned against her shoulder. "You... you're 'forcing' me into this!"

Chu Yu stopped pretending and dropped her false mask, revealing a gaze filled with desire. "Well, Yanyan is right. This is indeed the 'forcing' part."

Ignoring the little rabbit's struggles, she lifted her up by the waist and carried her to the soft bed.

Shu Yanyan was originally waving her hands and feet randomly, but after a while, she noticed that Chu Yu's movements were mostly after "tickling" her, and she calmed down. After a moment, she suddenly figured it out and bent her body, laughing.

"Hahaha—"

The dissatisfied Emperor's eyes were almost blazing with anger. "What are you laughing at?"

Shu Yanyan laughed and said, "Hahaha... I suddenly remembered, doctor, hahaha, the doctor said that for the first three months, We shouldn't do it, hahaha."

Chu Yu: "..."

Shu Yanyan, relying on the baby in her belly, became even more fearless. "Hahaha, Chu Yu, I never expected that you... would also have this day, hahaha..."

She proactively struck a seductive pose on the bed and patted herself. "Ah Yu, come on~"

Chu Yu gritted her teeth. "..."

She covered her nose and walked directly towards the adjacent bathroom. While walking, she didn't forgot to leave a stern warning. "Hmph, three months means three months."

"Shu Yanyan—wait for me!"

Shu Yanyan snorted and stuck her tongue out at her daringly. "Pfft."

The bathroom door closed, and soon the sound of water could be heard.

Shu Yanyan lay on the blanket and briefly imagined the scene after the three months were over...

But as soon as the image appeared, she cut it off directly.

"Don't think about it, don't think about it! Enjoy the present, and as for future debts, cough cough, let the future Shu Yanyan handle it herself!"

After comforting herself, she took a deep breath, and with a relaxed heart, she fell asleep directly.

After a while, she felt a warm body gently leaning against her, and her body's instinct made Shu Yanyan willingly move closer to the warmth, gently nestling into Chu Yu's embrace.

Chu Yu looked at the little bunny in her arms, sighed softly, and then curved her lips, quietly lying down beside her.

One, two, three, four...

She silently counted the dates in her mind.

....

Amidst everyone's anticipation, the wedding was finally held successfully.

With numerous royal protocols, the wedding lasted a full three days, and even Chu Yu found it a bit overwhelming.

She had more than once entertained the idea and transformed into a siren, tempting Shu Yanyan, "My private airship is right behind, let's quietly slip away and have our own little world, just the two of us. How about it?"

Shu Yanyan was greatly tempted but then declined.

"Well... that might not be appropriate. The guests and the media are all here..."

Chu Yu furrowed her brow. "The wedding is about the two of us. Why should we care about what they're doing?"

Shu Yanyan fell silent for a moment. "What about Mother and Yunmiao? Are you sure we should just run away and leave the mess for them to deal with?"

You see, the Empress Dowager attached great importance to this wedding. It wouldn't have been possible for their wedding to be held so quickly without her efforts!

Chu Yu stroked her chin. "We can take Yunmiao with us."

Shu Yanyan: "..."

She understood now why the Empress Dowager sometimes seemed particularly disdainful of Chu Yu.

Well, she had every reason to be disdainful!

Fine!

Shu Yanyan quietly distanced herself from Chu Yu. "I don't want to go. If you want to slip away, do it on your own."

Chu Yu: "..."

She wanted to persuade her a bit more when she suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming from the side. Chu Yu cautiously turned her head and met her own mother's gaze.

The Empress Dowager didn't say a word, her gaze conveyed a clear message.

[If you dare to cause trouble for me, you'll be completely... screwed!]

Chu Yu displayed an awkward yet polite smile, standing still and not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

Yunmiao, noticing her unusual behavior, asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

The concern from her beloved daughter made Chu Yu feel as if she was bathed in a warm spring breeze.

Her expression softened, and she replied in a gentle tone, "Mom is fine... What about Yunmiao? Are you feeling bored?"

Yun Miao shook her head. "No, I'm not bored."

After saying that, she happily threw the bouquet she was holding onto a nearby chair. "Mom, I'm going to play with An Ning. You stay here, okay?"

Chu Yu: "???"

The next moment, she watched helplessly as her little cotton-padded jacket held hands with a young girl and left the hall with joy. Yunmiao was even polite enough to wave goodbye to her before leaving.

Chu Yu: "..."

Tired, her wife didn't support her, her daughter abandoned her, and her mother above was still watching her like a hawk. What could be more distressing than this?

Shu Yanyan, on the side, looked at her dejected appearance. Her initially bored mood instantly brightened, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Chu Yu looked at her and asked, "Is Yanyan happy?"

Shu Yanyan stuck out her tongue. "Not really."

In truth, it was rare to see Chu Yu sulking like this, and she was genuinely... quite happy!

Chu Yu didn't say anything, she just gently squeezed Shu Yanyan's palm.

That night.

When Shu Yanyan was pressed into the thick and soft bedding, the warning antenna within her body began to flash with a strong red light.

The little bunny stared blankly at Chu Yu, who was kneeling on either side of her and casually removing her gloves. She asked in a silly manner, "What... What are you doing?"

Chu Yu lowered her head and playfully bit her earlobe as punishment. "Don't you know?"

Shu Yanyan hadn't caught on yet. "I... Should I know?"

Chu Yu chuckled lightly.

She directly whispered a fact into Shu Yanyan's ear, "Yesterday was the last day of the three-month deadline the doctor mentioned, you know. What? Didn't Yanyan not keep track?" 

Shu Yanyan was stunned for a moment, then her nose began to tingle.

Who remembers such strange dates so clearly?!

But now that she knew the truth, it was already too late.

Chu Yu loosened her collar and asked with a smile, "So... Is Yanyan ready to 'repay the debt'?"

Shu Yanyan's body stiffened and then she closed her eyes as if accepting her fate..

Repaying the debt... wasn't actually that bad. Just endure it, and it would pass!

[The End]
