Chapter 41 It's a Pig

Late at night, Ye Linghan asked Tianyi to arrange a room for Ye Lingchen, and then sent Ye Lingchen away with a wave of his hand.

Seeing Ye Lingchen's relaxed expression as if he could finally rest, Su Xing also plucked up his courage, walked up to Ye Linghan, and asked expectantly: "Regent, can you give me a room as well?"

I've been sleeping everywhere since I came to the palace for a few days. Now it's time to arrange a room for myself, right?

Naturally, he didn't dare to compete with Ye Lingchen. As long as he had a room and a bed to sleep on, that would be enough.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his request was not excessive, and he even straightened his body unconsciously.

However, Ye Linghan glanced at him lightly, and his handsome face revealed an unfathomable emotion.

Su Xing's heart subconsciously tightened, and then he had a bad feeling...

"What qualifications do you think you have to make demands on me?" Ye Linghan said word by word, each word full of sarcasm.

Su Xing's face froze at first, and then turned red as if he had been drinking.

This is not the shy Red, but the Red that has been severely humiliated and is unable to refute.

He really wasn't qualified. Putting aside the huge gap in their status, wasn't the reason he came to the Regent's Palace to atone for his sins?

But he dared to make a request?

Although that request was not excessive, the other party was Ye Linghan...

"I am a villain who doesn't know what is good for me..." Su Xing felt ashamed and embarrassed, and his back, which had just straightened, slowly shrank back: "Please forgive me, Regent..."

His eyes were slightly lowered and his voice was small, giving people a feeling of being both aggrieved and pitiful.

When Ye Linghan heard Su Xing asking him for a room, he was just a little surprised, but not angry.

He said that out of habit. He found it fun to tease Su Xing, especially to see Su Xing's reaction after being teased.

But at this moment, he felt that Su Xing's expression made him a little uncomfortable.

Why does a grown man look so aggrieved?

It's as if he's bullying someone...

He frowned in displeasure and said coldly, "I have said before that you must stay by my side at all times and not leave my sight until the case is over."

Su Xing raised his eyes when he heard that, but when his gaze was about to meet Ye Linghan, he lowered it again.

He wanted to say, what about sleeping?

Do we have to sleep together?

But he gave up after thinking about it. Well, wouldn't it be courting death to say such things?

"Yes, I'll remember that." Su Xing agreed obediently.

It doesn’t matter. He will do whatever Ye Linghan says.

Anyway, he managed to sleep these past few days, although he didn't know how he fell asleep.

Just when Su Xing was about to throw the jar into the ground, Ye Linghan suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "You sleep there tonight."

Su Xing was stunned, then looked up and saw that it was the couch in the study, where the man who was interrogated just now lay, and where he slept on his first night here.

He didn't mind, as long as there was a place to lie down.

He instantly put on a happy expression, bowed with both hands and said: "Thank you, Regent..."

But before he could finish his words, Ye Linghan had already turned and walked away, leaving only a cold and domineering back to him.

Su Xing looked at the direction Ye Linghan was walking, and his heart suddenly tightened.

He couldn't help himself again and blurted out: "Isn't the Regent going to rest yet?"

Does Ye Linghan have a grudge against sleeping? What time is it now? Still need to review memorials?

Ever since he came to the Regent's Palace, he has never seen Ye Linghan rest. Every day he is either busy with official duties or investigating cases. Doesn't he feel tired?

But after he said this, he remembered Ye Linghan’s response last time: What does it have to do with you?

Su Xing smiled bitterly in his heart. Is this the same sentence he would say again this time?

Ye Linghan paused for a moment before turning around. His dark eyes looked straight at Su Xing. After a while, he spoke: "I am not sleepy."

After saying this, he didn't pause for a moment. He turned around and walked to the desk, sat down, then opened the folder and started reading.

Su Xing was stunned at first. Ye Linghan actually responded to him seriously, but then he was shocked by Ye Linghan's response.

Not sleepy?

How can I not be sleepy?

Even an iron body needs regular maintenance and repair!

But Ye Linghan had already immersed himself in handling official business, and his whole body exuded an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

Su Xing didn't dare to ask any more questions. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the couch.

He hasn't had a good rest since he was kidnapped.

He was really sleepy and tired at the moment, and with the discomfort from his wounds, his mind and body were at their limits, so he fell asleep as soon as he lay down, even faster than a pig falling asleep.

Although Ye Linghan had been reading the memorial, his consciousness was uncontrollably paying attention to Su Xing's movements.

Hearing the slight breathing sound, he finally couldn't help but look up, and his handsome face suddenly froze.

It turns out that I was a pig in my previous life!

For some reason, looking at Su Xing's carefree sleeping posture, although he still didn't feel sleepy, his originally restless heart slowly calmed down...

Zhang was extremely excited since she received her son's reply. She was now sure that her son did not like men.

She couldn't wait to share her joy with Su Yuan, and she was still unable to sleep even at this late hour.

Su Yuan was also very happy, but he didn't show it because he still had many doubts in his heart.

Why did the Regent say that Su Xing would perform an autopsy and investigate the case? What is going on?

He still felt uneasy until he figured it out.

But he didn't intend to tell Zhang, especially when he saw how excited she was when she talked about finding a wife for her son.

Zhang didn't know what her husband was thinking, but she was very unhappy with his perfunctory attitude.

She pushed Su Yuan angrily, almost pushing him off the bed, but she didn't apologize at all: "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy that your son has grown up?"

Su Yuan grabbed the edge of the bed to steady himself. Before he could respond, he heard his wife complain again: "I know you dislike your son, and you also dislike me!"

Zhang became more and more excited as she spoke. She sat up suddenly and almost poked Su Yuan's nostrils with her slender fingers: "Tell me, have you always wanted to change your wife and give birth to a capable son again? Tell me! Is it true?"

In fact, this has always been what made her most uneasy. Although Su Yuan had never disliked her or blamed her because of Su Xing, the more this happened, the more uneasy she became.

When she said this, her eyes turned red and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Su Yuan was startled, and quickly stood up and said, "Oh, Madam, when did I dislike you? Don't talk nonsense. I swear to heaven that I, Su Yuan, have never thought of any other woman except you. You are my only choice in this life!"

Hearing this, Zhang, who had originally planned to cry for three days and three nights, was stunned for a moment.

She stared at Su Yuan with her beautiful eyes for a long time, then suddenly threw herself into Su Yuan's arms, crying with emotion and guilt: "Husband..."

The beauty threw herself into his arms so suddenly that Su Yuan had no idea what was going on and was knocked backwards.

He blinked blankly, sighed, then reached out and hugged Zhang tightly. His usually serious and handsome face gradually showed a gentle look.

But this wonderful time did not last long. Su Yuan's face froze: "Madam, you..."

"Husband, it's been a long time since we last met..."
