Xiao Chifeng returned to his bedroom where Sikou Yao asked him the same question.
He repeated to Sikou Yao what Elder Xiao had said.
Nodding understandingly, Sikou Yao chuckled, "Since the old man said so, you should accept it! Honestly, I believe the Huatian Empire will thrive under your rule, I trust you! And I'll fully support you!"
Moved by the support and encouragement written all over her beautiful face, Xiao Chifeng hugged her tightly, "Thank you, my dear wife!"
Sikou Yao kissed his chin and said with a smile, "Why should a husband and wife thank each other."
Xiao Chifeng chuckled, "Then I'll express my gratitude to my wife in action!"
With that, he held her face with both hands and passionately kissed her, leaving a gentle bite on her lips…
Sikou Yao also reached out her hand, hooked his neck, and intimately entwined with him.
After their moment of intimacy, they again discussed the Imperial Temple's succession ceremony for tomorrow.
