Chapter 223 Familiarity
Xu Yuexi, who was suffering from severe dizziness, stayed in bed obediently, trying her best to avoid walking around or doing any other movements that would make her feel dizzy and uncomfortable.
She didn't know when the dizziness would disappear, and she could do nothing about this pregnancy reaction.
Long Haotian applied a head massage to Xu Yuexi and fed her breakfast.
"Lord Dragonheart, I can actually do it myself."
Xu Yuexi was really flattered that the king of a country took such good care of her.
"Wuyou is so partial! They are both your husbands, but you are so affectionate to your husband, while when facing me, you call me the Dragon Heart King."
Long Haotian did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, but Xu Yuexi heard a strong sense of jealousy and sourness in his words.
Is this a complaint that I'm not close enough to him and don't give him the same treatment as my husband's wife?
Xu Yuexi was speechless!
He and she had just met not long ago, right? He and she knew each other very little, and she wasn't the kind of person who was particularly outgoing and "self-familiar", so how could she be so intimate with him right away? Unless it was an act!
But she doesn't want to act now. She wants to treat every husband sincerely, and doesn't want to be perfunctory even if she doesn't love him deeply.
What's more, she and Tang Liuqing were already married, but she was not yet married to him, so there was a natural difference in their relationship, and it was natural for her to be different in her words and deeds!
However, what he said made her suddenly realize that it seemed inappropriate to keep calling him like that, as it could easily cause misunderstanding or discomfort.
After all, this kind of differential treatment is too obvious!
In this continent, calling someone by their given name is considered impolite, while calling someone by their given name shows respect for them.
Since he has a problem with the way she is addressed, she should just change it.
"May I ask what is the name of Lord Longxin?"
"My name is Long Haotian, and my courtesy name is Gan Tong."
"Gantong? The coming of auspiciousness, this word is very good!"
"If Wuyou says it's good, then it must be excellent."
The corners of Long Haotian's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
When Xu Yuexi praised his calligraphy, she was actually praising him, and Long Haotian felt sincerely happy.
Seeing that Long Haotian laughed when she praised his calligraphy, Xu Yuexi laughed secretly in her heart. This guy is really easy to satisfy!
Xu Yuexi's gaze fell on the handsome man in front of her. His beauty was different from Tang Liuqing's.
Tang Liuqing had a beauty that was as gentle as jade, soft and elegant; whereas the person in front of him had the majesty of a superior, which made people feel awe at first sight.
His brows revealed firmness and decisiveness, and his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything.
His posture is as straight as a pine tree, his temperament is elegant and extraordinary, and he exudes a powerful aura in his every move.
In comparison, he lacks some gentleness, giving people a cold and unapproachable feeling. However, it is this unique temperament that makes him more charming.
Xu Yuexi couldn't help but be attracted to him and was a little dazed for a moment.
"Worry-free? Worry-free?"
"what?"
After Xu Yuexi came to her senses, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and awkward.
Is she mesmerized by the beauty of the man in front of her? This is really unpromising! Xu Yuexi's cheeks flushed instantly, and she even dared not look directly into Long Haotian's eyes.
At this moment, Long Haotian noticed the shy change in Xu Yuexi's expression, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. Could it be that she...
Long Haotian began to have wild thoughts, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and continued in a gentler and deeper voice:
"Wuyou, I will be your husband from now on, and I hope you can call me by my given name.
If you really feel a little uncomfortable or reluctant, you can just call me Haotian.
But, can you please stop calling me Lord Dragonheart?
In front of you, I am not some Dragon Heart King, I am just your husband, I only belong to you."
Long Haotian’s boldness and directness made Xu Yuexi a little overwhelmed.
She thought this man was so smart, as he said "I only belong to you" right away.
He doesn't seem like a bachelor who has been single for many years, but more like an 'old driver' who is good at love.
And when she heard these words, although her heart beat faster, she wanted to escape more.
She has a cold and slow personality, and when she heard such words, she felt like she had met an emotional scammer.
But what the other party said was also true. Xu Yuexi felt that it would be bad if she didn't respond. She had no choice but to turn her head away, avoiding his sight, and said softly, "Okay, Gan Tong."
When Long Haotian heard her calling his name, his heart was moved.
But looking at Xu Yuexi's face as red as the sunset and her evasive eyes, Long Haotian realized that he seemed to have used too much force.
He didn't know her well enough, and she didn't seem to like his direct approach.
In order to let Xu Yuexi slowly let down her guard and gradually get familiar with and accept him, Long Haotian cleverly changed the subject.
He began to talk about some light-hearted things, sharing interesting things in his life with Xu Yuexi, trying to make her feel his sincerity and friendliness.
It has to be said that it is not easy for a person to be the ruler of a country. After Long Haotian changed his strategy, Xu Yuexi's originally tense nerves gradually relaxed.
As she relaxed, Xu Yuexi started to talk more. They talked about everything from trivial matters to life philosophy, from astronomy and geography to local customs and practices. The topics were wide-ranging and interesting.
In this process, the distance between the two gradually narrowed and they began to get familiar with each other.
