He suddenly froze, his heart skipping a beat. He looked up and saw her looking at him eagerly, tugging at his sleeve and shaking it, "Please."

He turned his head and looked away, hiding the satisfaction in his eyes. His voice was calm: "I'll arrange it when I have time."

Wanruo's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

He stood up and said, "Then I will go to court."

Wanruo nodded obediently: "Then I'll wait for you to come back."

He stood up and walked out, but when he reached the dormitory door, he paused, then suddenly turned around and walked back.

Wanruo was about to lie down to sleep when she saw him come back. She asked in confusion, "Why are you back... um..."

He knelt on one knee on the bed, inserted his long fingers into her hair, held her, lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely.

He kissed her fiercely and fiercely, wishing he could swallow her whole. The root of her tongue was numb and she could hardly breathe. She couldn't move him at all when she reached out her hands to push him away.

After a long time, he finally let her go and kept a finger's distance away from her. His calm eyes now emitted a faint green light like that of a wild beast.

Wanruo's face flushed red. After she finally caught her breath, she suddenly met his eyes and shuddered all over. She subconsciously wanted to step back a little, but he still held the back of her head and she couldn't avoid it at all.

He stared at her with a fierce look in his eyes: "Why don't you try to seduce me again?"

Wanruo shrank her neck and whispered, "It's time to go to court."

The desire in his eyes gradually surged, and the hands holding her tightened uncontrollably, but when he lowered his eyes and saw her flat belly, he remembered that she was pregnant, so he restrained himself and let her go.

He took a deep breath and calmed his breathing: "Then I'm gone."

Then he turned around quickly and strode away without stopping for even a moment.

Wanruo breathed a sigh of relief and fell back into the quilt.

-

The morning court session on the 2nd was nothing major and ended before noon.

Xie Xianyu and Su Yan left the palace together.

"Did you set the fire at Zhaojue Temple?" Xie Xianyu asked him.

"Um."

Su Yan didn't look very good and seemed a little absent-minded.

Xie Xianyu didn't bother asking and simply said, "Bring Chen Qinghan out some other day. Wanruo said she wanted to meet her."

Su Yan thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Xie Xianyu didn't expect him to agree so readily. He thought he was reluctant to let Chen Qinghan show up for fear of causing trouble.

After all, Chen Qinghan has a special identity. In this situation, she has to hide for at least a year and a half to be a little safe.

Su Yan just thought that Chen Qinghan was in a bad mood and might feel better if she met someone she knew. Besides, Xu Wanruo was a good doctor and could help her. She looked very thin and unhealthy now.

"Tomorrow, at Hefeng Tower."

This is a restaurant that Su Yan often goes to. The owner is familiar with him, so it is convenient to make arrangements.

"Hmm."

After Su Yan returned to the Su Mansion, he went straight back to his bedroom.

His mansion was not big, just a courtyard with three entrances. After all, he lived alone, so the house didn't need to be too big.

The main house is his bedroom, which is now occupied by Chen Qinghan. He slept in the study last night.

Mrs. Zhang was still guarding the door. When she saw him come back, she came to greet him: "Master, you are back."

"What about her?"

"My wife is in the room, and my son hasn't gone out either. He has been lying quietly. I thought maybe my wife likes quietness, so I didn't dare to disturb her too much."

Su Yan pursed her lips. She was not a quiet person, she loved the hustle and bustle the most.

He stepped inside. Chen Qinghan was sitting on a stool by the window, staring blankly at the flowers and plants in the yard. When she heard his heavy footsteps, she slowly turned around to look at him.

She had changed out of her loose monk's robe the other day and put on the lilac spring skirt that her maid had prepared for her, which made her look even thinner.

"Have you eaten yet?"

She nodded: "I have eaten."

"If you feel bored, go walk around in the yard."

"I think it's okay."

Su Yan was speechless for a moment. After last night, she seemed to have accepted it, but she was not happy.

Maybe it will be fine after some time. They have been separated for five days, and it will take time for them to adapt again.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to see someone."

Chen Qinghan was slightly startled: "Who are you meeting?"

"Mrs. Xie, she wants to see you. She is proficient in medicine and good at conditioning. I would like to ask her to help you recuperate."

Chen Qinghan hesitated: "Will others find out..."

"No, I'll make arrangements, don't worry."

She nodded: "Okay."

Su Yan was silent for a moment, feeling that there was nothing more to say. He was also afraid that she would feel suffocated with him, so he stood up and said, "Then you should rest first."

But she suddenly called him: "Meng Yan."

He paused.

"You can sleep here tonight."

His eyes froze slightly, and he almost suspected that he was hallucinating.

She looked out the window and pursed her lips. "I heard from Mother Zhang that there's only one bedroom in the mansion, and the study isn't comfortable to live in."

Su Yan suppressed the corners of his lips that were slightly raised: "Okay."

That night, Su Yan stayed here. Chen Qinghan took a shower early and went to bed. Su Yan handled some official business, came back, took a shower, and also went to bed.
