It was unconsciously time for bed. Ye Qingcheng, in order to complete the task well, did not sneak out to watch Xiao Wangye’s training midway.
Seeing that the time was drawing near, she pretended to be asleep and lay on the bed, waiting for his return.
The sound of the door opening was heard, and it could be heard that the person was very cautious. However, his gasping was a little loud, “Your Highness,” Shh, Xiao Wangye signaled Lin Xiao to be quieter. Lin Xiao lowered his voice, “Shall I escort you in?”
“Okay, be quiet.” The two were already deliberately lowering their voices, but Ye Qingcheng, who was not asleep, still heard them. Moved by Xiao Wangye’s thoughtfulness, she knew she still had to complete the task.
The sound of clothes rubbing against each other stopped, and the sound of the door closing was heard. Ye Qingcheng felt someone lie down beside her, and her body involuntarily stiffened. It was indeed the first time she had “acted.” She was actually a little nervous.
He did not, as expected, lie down and embrace Ye Qingcheng. Instead, he moved closer to her, resting his head against the back of her head. He gently inhaled the scent from Ye Qingcheng’s body.
Sigh, Ye Qingcheng silently let out a breath in her heart. She was so tired, and she felt a little reluctant to deceive him further.
“No, host, you have to complete the task,” San San urged anxiously.
“Fine. For the task.”
She actively turned over to face Xiao Wangye, slowly stroking his face. It was devoid of its usual vitality, his face full of exhaustion.
“Did I wake you up?” Xiao Wangye asked with a hint of regret.
“No, I was waiting for you.” The hand stroking his face smoothed out the worry in his brows, then moved to his back, patting him slowly. It was as if she were comforting him. It was also a way of embracing him.
Xiao Wangye’s eyes widened slightly, surprised by Ye Qingcheng’s actions. He then reciprocated her embrace, closing his eyes. “What’s wrong?”
“An opportunity has arisen,” San San reminded her.
Ye Qingcheng quietly took a deep breath. “Why didn’t you let me stay and train with you today?” She directly threw out the question.
She could clearly feel the arm around her waist stiffen, and then he spoke, “With Lin Xiao here, you don’t need to trouble yourself. You should focus all your energy on the medical hall, don’t worry about me.” With this one sentence, he both explained the reason and appropriately comforted Ye Qingcheng.
However, when women become unreasonable, even their twisted logic can be presented as truth. Xiao Wangye was experiencing this for the first time tonight.
Ye Qingcheng did not answer.
Thinking she was still angry, he held her tighter and continued to explain, “This is already very good. You do your work, and I do mine. You’ve already done so much for me.”
However, Ye Qingcheng, nestled in Xiao Wangye’s embrace, was not angry at this moment but was discussing with San San how to respond. “Hurry and think, how should I answer him?” she asked anxiously. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
“I told you, the most effective method is to cry, do you understand?” San San said, exasperated.
“No, he said that much. I can’t cry.” She was almost crying from anxiety.
Seeing that she remained silent, Xiao Wangye thought she was still angry and prepared to pull her up to comfort her again.
Ye Qingcheng finally spoke, “But I want to watch you succeed step by step, and I want to be the first to witness your success. Do you… understand what I’m saying?” She gazed steadily into his eyes as she uttered these words, without the slightest pretense, her eyes full of sincerity.
Xiao Wangye was stunned. He had thought of several reasons, but this was not what he had expected. He lowered his head, wanting to kiss the woman who constantly surprised him.
However, Ye Qingcheng blocked him with her palm. Her gaze and actions rejected his intimacy.
Xiao Wangye’s eyes seemed to ask: Why?
“This is my reason for staying by your side. Then why did you send me away?” Seeing that he wanted to speak, she covered his mouth again. “Don’t give me such nice excuses. The medical hall’s affairs don’t require my constant attention either.” Her tone was unusually serious.
This time, it was the dignified Prince Xiao who looked troubled. His brows were furrowed, as if the reason was difficult to articulate.
Ye Qingcheng, who had originally only wanted an apology, became more interested in the reason behind his actions upon seeing his expression.
She pressed on, “You can’t say? Is there some unspeakable difficulty?” Her gaze slowly drifted down to Xiao Wangye’s nether regions.
When Xiao Wangye saw her gaze fall upon that area, he directly placed her hand there. He was physically demonstrating to his wife: whether he was capable or not.
“Oh dear, you’ve started flirting again,” San San teased.
Ye Qingcheng, startled, quickly pulled her hand away. “Let’s talk properly, no touching. Since there’s nothing wrong here, then what is the reason?” Even though she was being teased, she did not forget her objective.
After much deliberation, Xiao Wangye put down the person he was holding, turned his back, and in a somewhat ashamed voice, revealed an unexpected answer: “Because I would be ugly.”
His voice was a little quiet. “What did you say?”
“I said, because I look ugly like that. I don’t want you to see it.” I just want to remain an indestructible image in your eyes.
In less than half an hour, Ye Qingcheng was once again astonished by Xiao Wangye’s words. This reason, conversely, was somewhat endearing.
“Pfft.” Even though she covered her mouth, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Is it that funny?” Hearing her laugh, he cast aside his shame, turned around, and questioned her.
Ye Qingcheng looked at the Regent, who was displaying a childlike demeanor in front of her for the first time, and her smile widened. “I’m not laughing at you, I’m…”
Now Xiao Wangye was truly angry. Woman, you say you’re not laughing at me, yet the smile on your lips hasn’t stopped.
“Alright, I think your reason is very cute. I didn’t expect the dignified Regent to care about such trivial matters.” Seeing that she had provoked him, she knew she had to appease him.
The Regent, who had been called cute for the first time in his life, blushed secretly behind his ears, and the blush was spreading to his face.
“But,” the mood shifted, “what you said tonight still hurt me.” She then turned her back to him, refusing to speak to him further.
Now Xiao Wangye could no longer afford to be ashamed and quickly embraced her.
Ye Qingcheng shrugged, but didn’t shake off his arm. Instead, she hugged him even tighter.
“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have said that about you.” He quickly apologized, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sleep with her tonight.
“Is it that easy?” Ye Qingcheng asked San San. “Let’s count this as one time.”
“Yes, the task is completed again. Congratulations, host,” San San said to Ye Qingcheng, her voice full of excitement.
Seeing that she wasn’t replying, he rubbed against Ye Qingcheng’s neck, continuing to coax her with a hint of grievance, “From now on, I’ll tell you about everything I do, and I’ll discuss everything with you, okay? Hmm? Pay attention to me.” The current Xiao Wangye was like a large dog, nuzzling the person he liked, hoping she would pet him.
Finally, under his persistent pleas, Ye Qingcheng turned around and hugged him.
