"And then what?" Lu Yuan pressed.
"After that, since I couldn't get rid of him, I told him he could come to our home another day to fight me. If he won, I would let Ruyan become his disciple," Su Liyan's tone was as calm as ever.
Lu Yuan was a little worried. "Darling, are you confident you can win?" he asked.
Su Liyan shook her head. "I couldn't gauge his true strength, so I'm not entirely confident."
Lu Yuan patted his wife's rear and comforted her, "Don't worry about it. Let's get some sleep. Maybe he was just talking. Don't take it to heart."
"Dear, I don't want to sleep yet. I want to play a little game with you," Su Liyan said, grabbing Lu Yuan's hand and guiding it down.
Lu Yuan glanced at Gu Ziye, who was still sound asleep to his left, then leaned in and whispered in Su Liyan's ear:
"Try to be quiet. We don't want to wake Gu Ziye."
"Mhm, mhm, I know," Su Liyan nodded.
...
In the heat of the moment!
Su Liyan covered her mouth, doing her best to muffle her sounds.
