Shouting and listening?

"My wife," Emperor Beichen called out softly.

"Yes?" Bai Li Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter?"

"My wife, I have been calling you 'my wife' for so long, but you haven't called me 'husband' even once. How about you give it a try?" Emperor Beichen's eyes sparkled with anticipation. He remembered a time when Bai Li Hongzhuang's heart wasn't fully invested in him, but now they were deeply connected. He had been looking forward to hearing that address from her.

Bai Li Hongzhuang was taken aback by Emperor Beichen's sudden request. The idea of calling him "husband" was beyond her expectations. She couldn't bring herself to say the word.

"No," Bai Li Hongzhuang replied.

"My wife, how about you just say it once?" Emperor Beichen's face had a playful smile. "Just once?"

"No," she refused.

"My wife, I'm so sad. There's no one else around here. You don't have to be shy," Emperor Beichen blinked, deliberately making a cute expression. He looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang with eyes filled with anticipation.

Bai Li Hongzhuang looked at Emperor Beichen's adorable appearance and couldn't help but feel helpless. In fact, his words were hard to resist, especially with his handsome face.

However, she couldn't bring herself to say those two words.

Seeing that Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't give in, Emperor Beichen raised an eyebrow. Her reaction was not unexpected to him. After all, he was well aware of how shy his wife could be.

With this in mind, Emperor Beichen continued, "My wife, you always address me as Emperor Beichen, which feels a bit distant. In my opinion, why don't we drop the surname and just use the given name?"

After considering his words for a moment, Bai Li Hongzhuang agreed, "I understand."

Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's agreement, Emperor Beichen felt a surge of joy. "My wife, does this mean you agreed?"

Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded and couldn't help but find it amusing to see Emperor Beichen so excited over such a trivial matter. The fact that the young master of the prestigious Tian Gang Sect could be so happy about this would surely invite countless jokes if it became known.

"My wife, since that's the case, why don't you call me by my given name now?" Emperor Beichen suggested eagerly.

Bai Li Hongzhuang glanced at him and replied, "Next time."

"Just one time?" he asked.

"..."

"..."

"Beichen."

Hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's gentle and melodious voice, Emperor Beichen's eyes lit up, and a deep joy appeared on his handsome face.

"My wife, could you say it one more time?" he requested.

"..."

Bai Li Hongzhuang continued walking forward, no longer willing to entertain Emperor Beichen's further advances.

Emperor Beichen followed behind her with a smile on his face. He found his wife's playful demeanor particularly amusing.

In the past, he had never understood why lovers could be so happy over small matters. But now, he finally understood.

Looking at the slender and graceful figure ahead, Emperor Beichen's eyes filled with tenderness. He had no other wishes now except to grow old with Bai Li Hongzhuang.

Under the leisurely journey of the two, a journey that could have been completed in seven days took them more than ten days.

However, they didn't feel the journey was long at all. On the contrary, time seemed to pass quickly. This was perhaps the most relaxed and enjoyable period they had spent together so far.

Finally, on this noon of the day, the two arrived at the imperial city of Fengbo Kingdom.
