After the Cousin Married She Was Forcefully Taken by the Mad Power Minister

The eldest young master of the Xie family, Xie Xianyu, was like a spring breeze and a graceful orchid—refined, elegant, and, rarest of all, blessed with a compassionate heart.

A year ago, he ...

Chapter 14: Was She Dreaming? (2/2)

Wanruo hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "No, not now. Now is not the time. He and I have only met once and we haven't gotten to know each other well yet. Besides, he has the Spring Examination coming up soon, so we have to wait until he's done with it. Xiulin, you must keep this a secret for me and don't tell anyone, okay?"

Xie Xiulin was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You are right, I was careless. Our woman's marriage must not be announced until the last minute."

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Wanruo breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much."

"Why should we thank each other? I'm happy that you've found a good match. Although the man is a little poor, he seems to be a kind person. He said he found your things and wants to return them to you personally. When you recover, you can go to the Penglai Inn to find him; he lives there."

Wanruo nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Xie Xiulin chatted with her for a long time before going back.

Now that the third wife was under house arrest, Xie Xiuyun no longer dared to act recklessly and became much calmer, so Xie Xiulin's life became much better.

"Girl, take a rest. You must be tired after chatting for half a day." Su Yue helped Wanruo lie down and let her sleep for a while.

Wanruo was indeed a little tired. She lay down and handed the medicine bag to Suyue: "Take this medicine bag and put it away."

"yes."

Su Yue happily took it and said, "This Mr. Lin is really a fool. He went to buy medicine when he knew that the girl was sick. Is he worried that the girl can't get the medicine?"

"He was afraid that I would be living under someone else's roof and wouldn't dare buy medicine."

"Then he does care about the girl. It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if the girl married him."

"A kind-hearted person can never be bad."

Wanruo felt that she was still very lucky, and a person like Lin Han was indeed worth her taking a risk.

Su Yue covered her with the quilt, lowered the curtain, and then quietly left.

Wanruo's eyelids were heavy and she slept soundly. When she woke up again, it was dark.

She struggled to open her eyes, her consciousness still hazy, and she vaguely saw a familiar figure.

He has a tall figure, wears a silver-gray robe, wears a silver crown to tie his hair, has a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament.

Maybe she was dreaming, she actually dreamed of Xie Xianyu.

She closed her eyes again, but after a while, she felt something was wrong. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw that the person sitting beside the bed was really Xie Xianyu.

She broke out in a cold sweat: "Cousin, why is my cousin here?"

Although they had been secretly doing this for a year, Xie Xianyu had been to her yard before. His whereabouts had always attracted attention, so his presence was a bit too conspicuous. Besides, he didn't like staying in her shabby yard.

He reached out and touched her forehead. His slender fingers were slightly cool, and when they touched her burning forehead, his brows furrowed. "It's been several days and you haven't gotten better yet?"

She hurriedly propped herself up and sat up from the bed: "I'm weak and need to rest for a few more days. Why did my cousin come here? What if someone saw us..."

She hurriedly looked at Su Yue who was guarding the door, and Su Yue shook her head quietly.

Xie Xianyu pushed her back with a sullen face. “You still think you’re weak? Even a cold can make you look like this.”

She forced herself to calm down and said weakly, "I'm sorry to have worried you, cousin. I'll just take care of you for a few more days. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you these days..."

Xie Xianyu said coldly, "How can you take care of yourself living in this shabby place? You could die here in a few days and no one would even know."

She bit her lip secretly, trying to hold back her anger.

"Qiu Shui Courtyard is simple and my cousin can't get used to the luxurious life he lives in. It's better for him to go back early." She swallowed her anger.

Xie Xianyu said in a deep voice, "I think the reason your illness hasn't healed is because your living place is not good. If you say it's cold at night, why don't you even have a charcoal stove? You should move to Songhe Garden to recuperate."
