"However," An Jing added, "if I call you Changyi in the future, you must respond to me. We are already married, husband and wife. Even if I don't address you as 'My Lord', you are still my husband." Saying this, she took hold of one of his hands that rested on the table.
"Mhm." Xiao Changyi took her hand in his and held it tightly in response.
After they were fully sated with food and drink, Xiao Changyi got up to clear the table and wash the dishes in the kitchen, while An Jing lay in bed, rubbing her slightly distended stomach, reveling in the luxury of having meat to eat.

However, given An Jing's body might not be able to have children, she and Xiao Changyi didn't bother to prepare these and add to their troubles.
