My Tsundere Husband Is Actually a Hopeless Romantic

Xue Ling'e, the only daughter of the Minister of Works, was beautiful, sweet, and beloved by everyone in the household.

Prince Qi had remained unmarried for her, and the princess considered her her closest friend.

Even Lord Zhang, Chang'an's most unattainable beauty, seemed deeply in love with her. He went to great lengths to ask for her hand and gave her a magnificent wedding.

Xue Ling'e often sighed: What should I do? Everyone likes me so much! >̣̣ᯅก

Lady Xue's life was going smoothly, and she was easygoing.

She was willing to put up with plenty of irritating things, including her husband's indifference toward her.

In her eyes, Zhang Yan had been raised in a prestigious family with countless rules and had never spent time with other women. It was only natural for him to be a little shy.

After all, what harm could there be in a young man who looked at her at least three times during a banquet that lasted just two hours?

There was nothing wrong with her husband being a little bashful.

Besides, she had always been a softhearted and exceptionally considerate young lady.

So, when Zhang Yan hesitated to touch her on their wedding night, Xue Ling'e took a small, deep breath and gave his icy face a loud smacking kiss.

Xue Ling'e: Now he'll take the initiative, right? (sparkling eyes)

Their married life grew happier by the day. The clearest change was that the stoic Lord Zhang began smiling more and more.

Xue Ling'e nodded, growing ever more convinced that taking the initiative had been the right choice.

Until one day, she discovered his little secret...

Bonus scene

A misunderstanding was finally cleared up.

Realizing he had carelessly arranged the wrong marriage, the young emperor finally felt ashamed.

Facing his dear friend, he wanted to make amends as best he could. "How about... I get you two divorced?"

The corner of Zhang Yan's mouth lifted. His usually frosty face melted like the first snow of spring. "Yes, my wife is pregnant."

The Emperor: ? Who asked you that...

Lord Zhang: Why would we get divorced when we're doing just fine?
