Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 116
Their eyes met across the distance. Yunxi pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and curtsied to him before raising her hand to close the window.
The couple's affectionate relationship was none of her business, and she had no interest in spying.
She had placed the wooden rabbit on the windowsill early in the morning, but it was getting in the way, so Yunxi took the rabbit inside before closing the window again.
However, Yunxi found it a bit strange. Wasn't Shen Rang always very cold towards Yun Wan?
Moreover, Shen Rang's gaze was so cold, even indifferent, yet he was able to utter such words just now.
Yunxi found it increasingly strange.
Inside the main room, looking at the tightly closed window, Chen felt a surge of irritation.
She does know how to avoid suspicion.
He had never said such sweet words to her before, yet she showed no displeasure whatsoever and even closed the window.
They locked it up, but they even took the rabbit inside before locking it up.
Is a mere rabbit really that precious?
Shen Rang felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it.
Behind him, Yun Wan had already pressed herself against him.
She wrapped her arms around Chen Rang's slender waist and rested her head on his back, almost greedily inhaling his scent.
Ironically, although they were husband and wife, they had never done anything like this before.
"My husband..."
“I suddenly remembered that there are still some things I haven’t done,” Shen Rang said in a low voice. “Madam, please enjoy yourself. I must go now.”
Anyone familiar with him would have heard the displeasure in her voice.
Although Yun Wan was his wife, she didn't know him well, so she didn't think of anything. She just felt that the two of them finally had a chance to be together, and she was very dissatisfied: "Husband, you rarely get a day off, what's so important that you have to do it now?"
Shen Rang lowered his gaze to the two arms wrapped around his waist: "Now that I am working for His Highness the Crown Prince, I will naturally be busier than before. I hope you will understand, Madam."
Since he had said that, Yun Wan could only reluctantly let go of his hand: "Alright, then my husband can go ahead and get busy. But even if you're busy, you must take care of yourself. How about I bring some snacks over later?"
“No need,” Shen Rang said as he turned to leave. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of Madam when I’m busy.”
Seeing this, Yun Wan had no choice but to give up and watch him leave.
"By the way," Shen Rang walked to the door, then suddenly stopped, "Is Madam available tonight?"
"Convenient, convenient..."
Yun Wan wanted to say that she was not available.
But there's still no news from the doctor. For now, the best course of action is to get Yunxi pregnant as soon as possible.
Shen Rang nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
After saying that, Shen Rang turned and left.
Yun Wan pushed open the window, her gaze falling on the back building, a faint crimson glint appearing in her eyes.
That bitch is so lucky!
With such good fortune, how come I can't get pregnant!
After a long while, Yun Wan took a deep breath; "Go, tell her to prepare."
Pearl responded and then bowed her head and withdrew.

Soon, darkness fell, and the night deepened.
While Shen Rang was taking a bath, Yun Xi went to the main house.
Her leg wasn't fully healed yet, and the thought of possibly getting injured tonight gave Yunxi a headache.
I don't know who she offended, why is her leg still not getting better?
Soon, Shen Rang returned from his bath.
He still carried the dampness of his shower and a faint scent of bath beans.
Shen Rang was clearly not used to the intense darkness in the room. He paused at the door for a moment before slowly walking towards the bed.
As he got closer, he could vaguely see the slender figure of the woman standing by the bed.
