Chapter 163: It is not appropriate to sleep in the same bed after divorce

When they arrived at the embroidery workshop, Yun Xiangye got off the carriage carrying Nuonuo, and saw Zhao Rui standing beside them with his ears drooping. He was relieved to see them return.

"sister in law……"

Yun Xiangye looked at Zhao Rui and saluted, "Prince Xiang, I am no longer your sister-in-law."

"Once a sister-in-law, always a sister-in-law. You are my real sister-in-law."

Zhao Rui has great respect for Yun Xiangye.

Yun Xiangye smiled faintly. She didn't want to impose the grudge between her and Gu Yan on others.

Yun Xiangye carried Nuonuo into the embroidery workshop.

Zhao Rui saw Gu Yan outside the house and said, "Cousin."

Gu Yan glared at Zhao Rui and said, "You'd better stay out of the matter between Xiang Ye and me."

Zhao Rui whispered, "Cousin, last time I heard from the second daughter of the Ye family that the Ye family intends to let Ye Li and cousin's wife get married. I think Ye Li will not treat Nuonuo harshly..."

Gu Yan frowned upon hearing this. Yun Xiangye had quite a few bad romantic partners around her. "Isn't Ye Li much younger than Yun Xiangye?"

Zhao Rui whispered, "But isn't your father much younger than your mother?"

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked into the embroidery workshop.

--

In the embroidery workshop, as soon as Yun Xiangye put Nuonuo down, Nuonuo woke up.

Perhaps Nuonuo was too scared by the frightened horse just now, so she cried for a long time when she woke up.

Yun Xiangye coaxed Nuonuo for a long time, but Nuonuo kept calling her daddy.

Yun Xiangye was very suspicious. Did Gu Yan promise Nuonuo something when he was riding a horse to send Nuonuo back to West Street?

But Yun Xiangye really couldn't bear to see Nuonuo crying, so she asked Run'er to send Nuonuo back to the Princess's Mansion.

However, Nuonuo can't leave Yun Xiangye's arms.

Yun Xiangye hugged Nuonuo tightly, "Nuonuo, dear, daddy will come to see you tomorrow, okay?"

Nuonuo shook her head and said, "I want daddy, baby wants daddy, woo woo woo."

Yun Xiangye sighed, "It's almost dark outside. Nuonuo is the most obedient child, isn't she?"

Nuonuo nodded and cried, "Good baby, Daddy."

Yun Xiangye felt sorry for Nuonuo's little voice, but she couldn't bear to be cruel to her. When she was about to carry Nuonuo to the Princess's Mansion, as soon as she opened the side door, she saw Gu Yan at the side door, and the female secret guard who followed Gu Yan.

"Daddy."

When Nuonuo saw Gu Yan, she stretched out her little hands and asked Gu Yan to hold her.

Yun Xiangye looked at the female guard beside Gu Yan and said, "Move away the guards assigned to me. I don't want you to monitor me like this."

"They are just protecting you and Nuonuo, not monitoring you. She came to me because Nuonuo was crying so hard." Gu Yan hugged Nuonuo and looked at Yun Xiangye.

Seeing that Nuonuo had regained her composure in Gu Yan's arms, Yun Xiangye finally softened her attitude towards Gu Yan. "Nuonuo will follow you back to the princess's residence today."

Gu Yan said, "Nuonuo will definitely be unable to leave you at night. Nanny Cao is also on vacation recently. Why don't I coax Nuonuo to sleep before returning to the Princess's Mansion?"

Yun Xiangye stepped aside to make way for Gu Yan. She was frightened while riding a horse today, and had to run back and forth. Nuonuo was crying non-stop, so she was very tired.

Gu Yan held Nuonuo in his arms and looked at Yun Xiangye in the courtyard of the embroidery workshop. He carried Nuonuo to the swing and pushed Nuonuo to play on the swing.

Nuonuo smiled and said, "It's fun, fun."

Under the setting sun, the early summer evening breeze was very refreshing. Yun Xiangye was standing under the grape trellis nearby, looking at the father and daughter. She couldn't help but wonder if she was really too cruel.

But when she thought about the three years she had been deceived by Gu Yan, she felt that she shouldn't forgive Gu Yan so easily.

The sky was getting darker and darker. Yun Xiangye was having dinner in the house. The dinner dishes in the embroidery workshop were certainly not as good as those in the princess's mansion, but the cook was from the south of the Yangtze River and was good at cooking south of the Yangtze River. Yun Xiangye liked them very much.

Yun Xiangye saw Xiao Nuonuo picking up some food for Gu Yan and said with a hint of anticipation: "I want some of the food that Nuonuo picked up, too."

Gu Yan put the dish that Nuonuo picked for him into the Yunxiangye bowl and said, "Here, it's for you."

Gu Yan also peeled the shrimps for Yun Xiangye, not afraid of getting his hands stained with oil. Gu Yan put all the shrimps into Yun Xiangye's bowl and said, "I know you like shrimps, eat more."

Yun Xiangye handed the peeled shrimp to Nuonuo and said, "Actually, you don't need to peel the shrimp for me. We waterside people never peel shrimp with our hands. You've been eating with me for three years, don't you know that I never peel shrimp with my hands?"

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, "I really didn't notice it."

Gu Yan didn't like eating shrimp very much. At most, he would eat the shrimp meat, and rarely eat shrimp with shells. It was okay if there were servants serving him, but he would not eat it if there were no servants serving him. He knew that Yun Xiangye liked to eat shrimp, but he had never noticed that she ate shrimp without peeling the shells.

Yun Xiangye picked up the shrimp and put it into her mouth. She didn't care how she ate and spit out all the shrimp shells.

Gu Yan was very puzzled and asked: "How did you do it?"

Yun Xiangye said: "Just practice more."

Gu Yan whispered: "You are very good at spitting out shrimp shells, but why don't you know how to kiss..."

Yun Xiangye kicked Gu Yan under the table. What nonsense was he saying in front of Nuonuo? Besides, they had already divorced, so how dare he be so shameless!

After dinner, Gu Yan took Nuonuo to the courtyard for a walk to digest the food. Yun Xiangye embroidered clothes while Gu Yan was taking care of the child.

Until the sky became completely dark.

Nuonuo was also tired from playing and was fussing over sleep.

Gu Yan stayed beside Nuonuo and coaxed her to sleep, but Nuonuo held Gu Yan's hand tightly and called her mother.

Yun Xiangye had no choice but to get on the bed, holding Nuonuo's little hand and singing a Jiangnan nursery rhyme to her in Yongxing dialect: "Rock and rock, rock to Grandma's Bridge, Grandma invites me to eat rice cakes, dip it in sugar and eat more, dip it in salt and eat less, dip it in soy sauce and eat less..."

Nuonuo dozed off, and looked at Yun Xiangye with sparkling eyes and said, "Mom, is the rice cake delicious?"

Yun Xiangye found Nuonuo's greedy look very interesting, and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, you didn't eat rice cakes during the New Year this year. Rice cakes are delicious. Freshly made rice cakes are delicious when dipped in brown sugar. Mother will have someone make some for you in a few days."

Nuonuo listened to Yun Xiangye's nursery rhymes and gradually fell asleep.

Yun Xiangye took away Nuonuo's little hand that was holding Gu Yan's hand, and Nuonuo opened her eyes again, "I want daddy! Baby wants daddy."

Yun Xiangye didn't dare to move the soft little hand away, but just frowned and looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan said, "I saw you riding a horse today and you were frightened. Nuonuo must be very scared. It's curfew outside. I'll stay at your place for one night."

Yun Xiangye stood up and took out a quilt from the wooden cabinet beside her and placed it on the small couch. "You and Nuonuo sleep on the small couch, and I sleep on the bed. You and I have already divorced, so it is not appropriate for us to sleep on the same bed anymore."

Gu Yan was happy to pick up Nuonuo and rest on the small couch with her.

Yun Xiangye was very tired and wanted to fall asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow. She didn't even change her clothes which were stained with the smell from riding a horse. One reason was that she was extremely tired, and the other was that she was worried about Gu Yan.

I might as well change and wash the bedding tomorrow.

Yun Xiangye fell asleep peacefully thinking about this.

Gu Yan, who was lying on the small couch, touched Nuonuo's little head and learned that Nuonuo was already asleep. He walked to the bed and took Yun Xiangye into his arms. Although there was still the smell of horses on her body, it made him feel at ease.

The insomnia and drowsiness of the past few days also made me fall into a deep sleep at this moment.
