Rebirth: So what if my husband is a little crazy? He loves me.

Chapter 16 Gu Chang'an, do you despise me?

“You’re really cunning. The other two officials are close to the cabinet, and the cabinet supports the crown prince. His Majesty won’t allow them to be interrogated. In the end, you’ll probably end up…” Shen Li suddenly laughed.

Sure enough, after being freed from her constraints, Gu Chang'an demonstrated his true abilities.

Gu Chang'an was momentarily stunned by her laughter; he had never known she liked to talk about this before.

“However, I think we can burn another fire to destroy his foundation. I think…” Seeing that he didn’t react, Shen Li waved her hand in front of his eyes and teased, “My top scholar, when did you start daydreaming?”

"I...I'm sorry." Gu Chang'an took a sip of tea to cover his embarrassment. "Ah Li, please continue. What do you want?"

Seeing his reaction, Shen Li understood perfectly; this was a perfect opportunity to take things a step further.

"Walls have ears, I'll tell you quietly." She said, already sitting down next to Gu Chang'an, leaning on his shoulder and whispering to him.

Gu Chang'an felt a warm breath blowing into his ear, and he froze, his heart beating faster involuntarily. He only remembered what she had said later.

His mind went blank, and he sat there completely at a loss.

"What do you think of this plan, my husband?" Shen Li said, then leaned even closer, her body almost pressed against Gu Chang'an's.

When Gu Chang'an heard her call him that, he felt his blood rush to his head and his breathing became difficult. In order to avoid offending her, he had no choice but to move to the side and keep a certain distance from her.

"This plan... is feasible," he replied in a trembling voice, his panicked eyes revealing that he was quite frightened.

Ah Li is a lady from a prestigious family. Although she is poised and unpretentious, her manners are so proper that they can be a bit rigid. Now that she has suddenly become close to him, he really doesn't know how to respond and is afraid that he might act rashly.

"Gu Chang'an, do you despise me?" Shen Li pretended to be displeased and turned her back to him.

In her previous life, she was too proper and got nothing she wanted. If Gu Chang'an hadn't left her a foundation for herself before he died, she might have been forcibly taken into the harem by Li Heng.

After Li Heng revealed his intentions, she felt disgusted and simply asked to be imprisoned so that she could end it all by dying.

This foolish man in front of her, who would protect her even in death, was someone she was willing to miss again. She even felt that if she didn't win him over soon, things might get complicated.

The women in prison taught her that if you want something, you should fight for it; if you really can't get it, you should just take it by force. You won't know if something you force is sweet or not until you taste it.

"How could that be? I was worried that I might have offended you without thinking..." Gu Chang'an panicked when he saw that she was angry and quickly explained.

Shen Li was both amused and exasperated by this explanation, and it seemed that she needed to give him some more time to adjust to her change.

From this angle, Gu Chang'an could only see her back. Seeing that she didn't move, he assumed she still didn't believe him, so he pursed his lips and stepped forward to pull her into his arms.

This time, it was Shen Li's turn to be stunned. She could feel herself being enveloped in his arms, her entire back pressed against his chest, and she could even clearly feel his powerful heartbeat that seemed about to burst out of his body.

"Ah Li, do you find this offensive?" he asked cautiously, his cool voice trembling.

Shen Li snapped out of her reverie and shook her head: "No, I want you to be like this."

Gu Chang'an didn't speak, but Shen Li could clearly feel that his heart was beating faster and his body was hotter, which was completely different from his usual cold demeanor.

"Ah Li." His calm voice was filled with contentment: "It's so good to have you."

Hearing him say that, Shen Li felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She had let down Gu Chang'an, who was so easily satisfied, for more than ten years.

She originally intended to live in seclusion with him for the rest of her life and try her best to make up for him, but who knew that Li Heng not only couldn't tolerate Gu Chang'an, but also harbored thoughts of possessing her.

What a filthy thing!

Shen Li's eyes suddenly turned cold as she thought of this. She wanted to see how Li Heng would get through this crisis.
