Ying Yue: "Husband is talking nonsense, Yue'er hasn't-used to makeup yet how can she look pretty and who will take care of you if not me"
While bantering, Ying Yue enter the room and put the tray on the table and put down the food she brings and served it to Lie Fan
Ying Yue: "Husband this is your favorite food, eat it while it's still warm"
Lie Fan: "Aiyo Wife my arm is tired from yesterday's training, can you feed me?"
Ying Yue: "Okay Okay it's still morning and you already starting your antics" *blushed* *slap Lie Fan's chest gently*
The Couple were flirting and enjoying a sweet time together as Lie Fan is busy preparing for the Yellow Turbans rebellion so he doesn't have much time to spend with Ying Yue, they always steal small moments like this to quench their longing for each other.
Enjoying their time together, Lie Fan began to think that if one beauty like Yue Ying with a gentle and loveable personality can make his life colorful what If he can marry the legendary Three Kingdom beauties like Diao Chan and Cai Wenji who were located at Luoyang right now.
