Sharing the same bed with Qi Jinqian
"Ari, what are you thinking about? Why are you silent?"
Qi Jinqian observed Su Qingli's reaction and saw that she was silent for a long time. He didn't know whether Su Qingli understood what he meant.
Su Qingli shook her head, rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Nothing, I'm just sleepy. You should go to sleep too. You still have to attend the morning court tomorrow and deal with your official duties."
After saying that, Su Qingli curled up in the bed, pulled the quilt, covered her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Qi Jinqian looked at her for a long time. He couldn't fall asleep at all, so he tucked the quilt for her and simply sat back in his wheelchair, stopping beside Su Qingli's bed. He held his chin with his hands and stared at the person who was pretending to sleep.
The house was quiet, and the wind outside was knocking on the window with a big red wedding character posted on it.
Su Qingli didn't know how she fell asleep later. When she woke up in the middle of the night, Qi Jinqian's bright eyes made her spine creep.
"Jin Qian, what are you doing sitting next to my bed? Why aren't you asleep yet in the middle of the night?" Su Qingli concealed her inner panic and asked with concern.
"Ali, I can't sleep because of something on my mind." Qi Jinqian didn't hide it from her. There were some things stuck in his heart that kept him awake all night.
Although Su Qingli secretly admired Fu Xuechen, she was not as infatuated as Qi Jinqian. When she heard that Fu Xuechen and the eldest princess became a couple, she felt more blessed and advised herself to let go completely.
"Are you missing the woman in your heart?" A lazy and hoarse voice with a hint of sleepiness asked lightly.
Qi Jinqian stared at Su Qingli without blinking, and asked expectantly, "I have a lot to say to her, but I don't know if she wants to hear it."
Su Qingli got goosebumps all over her body, looked away from her, stood up, poured a cup of tea and took a few sips, she really didn't know how to respond.
After a moment of deliberation, he said, "Jin Qian, I can't make the decision for you on this matter. You can sleep on the bed tonight, and I'll sleep on the floor. You have a leg problem, so sleeping on the floor is not suitable for you."
After making the bed, Su Qingli spread a mat on the floor and lay down on the floor with a thin quilt in her arms.
She was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other and she fell asleep in a short while.
Qi Jinqian originally wanted to express his love and suggested that they could turn their fake relationship into reality. He could give Su Qingli more benefits. As long as Su Qingli was willing to give birth to a child for him, her position as the mistress of the Qi Mansion would be secure.
Unfortunately, Su Qingli didn't even give him a chance to talk and fell asleep directly.
When she woke up the next day, the sound of the nanny opening the door outside shone bright sunlight. Su Qingli's eyes felt a little stinging. She slowly opened her eyelids and found herself lying on the wedding bed, with Qi Jinqian lying next to her.
He hurriedly lifted the quilt, luckily they were not naked, and both were wearing pajamas.
The nanny was overjoyed and entered the room with a basin of hot water. "Sixth Young Master, Sixth Madam, are you both awake? The Master specifically asked this old servant to come and wake you up."
In fact, the nanny was following Qi Jinqian's orders and pretending that it was Minister Qi who asked him to do so.
"I'm awake, Jinqian is still sleeping. Speak quietly and wait outside the door." Su Qingli frowned and sent the nanny out.
Last night, Qi Jinqian was worried about the woman in his heart and couldn't sleep. She specially moved out the wedding bed for Qi Jinqian, but somehow, she slept on the bed and shared the bed with Qi Jinqian.
The nanny thought Su Qingli was being shy and left with a smile. Qi Jinqian opened his eyes quickly and gently tugged at Su Qingli's sleeve. "A-Li, you didn't sleep well on the floor last night, so you drifted off to sleep on my bed."
"Jin Qian, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It's better for you and me to sleep in separate rooms. After all, we're not real husband and wife. You'll have to remarry and have children in the future, so I can't let you delay that."
Su Qingli spoke in a tone and expression that showed she was selfless and thinking for Qi Jinqian.
"Ah Li, your marriage to me is real. We even slept in the same bed. If it gets out, it will be bad for your reputation. If you are willing to give birth to a child for me, I don't mind being your real husband and wife and taking responsibility for you and the child to the end."
Qi Jinqian patiently persuaded Su Qingli to accept him and told her that he was ready to be her husband.
Su Qingli's eyebrows were about to be twisted into a knot. Qi Jinqian's sudden words were hard for her to accept. She reached out and touched Qi Jinqian's forehead in disbelief. "Jinqian, your forehead isn't hot, why are you saying such nonsense?"
Qi Jinqian had a solemn and devoted look, as if he was sacrificing himself for others, thinking about women like Su Qingli. "Ali, you are a woman, and I am a man."
"I don't care. It doesn't matter if I can't get married. I'm an abandoned woman who's been married before, and my body has been abused by men. Why would I be afraid of those rumors?"
Su Qingli shook her head. She was unwilling to accept Qi Jinqian's charity. Besides, Qi Jinqian had Concubine Xie in his heart, and she didn't want to make things difficult for Qi Jinqian anymore.
"But I'm afraid. I'm afraid that you'll be looked down upon and treated unfairly by the world because of me. I'm a man, your nominal husband. We've been through thick and thin together. I can't be ungrateful and be as heartless and ungrateful as Fu Xuechen, ruining your reputation!"
Qi Jinqian spoke passionately, adhering to his conscience and kindness.
"Jin Qian, you've done everything for me, how could you be ungrateful? I won't blame you. You saved our family, and in exchange, I married you to help you get married. We owe each other nothing."
Su Qingli was deeply touched, but she knew that she and Qi Jinqian each had their own lovers, and they couldn't make any more mistakes now.
Then, Su Qingli went behind the screen, changed her nightgown, wrung out the towel in the basin, and handed it to Qi Jinqian, "Wash your face and go to court. I have my own way to go, and you have yours too."
Even if Qi Jinqian rebelled for Concubine Xie, she thought it was natural.
In Su Qingli's eyes at this moment, Qi Jinqian is a perfect person and a romantic. Regardless of success or failure, she thinks Qi Jinqian is a respectable person.
Qi Jinqian's words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
Yin Han followed behind Qi Jinqian, and when no one was around, he asked, "Sixth Master, did you and Sixth Madam sleep well last night? I heard from the nanny that you did."
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he brought it up, Qi Jin became annoyed. "A-Li has never had any romantic feelings for me. Even when I took her to bed while she was sleeping soundly yesterday, and we slept together, she still rejected me."
"I see that Madam Six is chatting lively with the man outside, but why is she so cold and indifferent to you?"
Yinhan's mind flashed back to the scene he had witnessed on the street that day. Su Qingli and the man wearing Mili were getting along easily and comfortably, and they were smiling brightly.
Su Qingli had never felt so relaxed and happy when she was with his Sixth Master.
