Chapter 19 Tricking Him into Sleep
The stone-carved lamps in the garden are like stars leading the way, illuminating the path.
A man in red, holding the slender girl in his arms, walked through the pleasant evening breeze, through the floating fragrance, through the singing of magpies on the branches.
He held her in his arms and walked forward.
All the scenery fell behind, like a grand dream.
Jiang Rong hugged Xie Lingxi's neck, tilted her little face up, and looked at him so closely. The man had a sharp face, narrow eyebrows, and a pair of eyes as deep as the sea of stars under thick eyelashes.
Xie Lingxi, her Xie Lingxi.
It feels like a dream.
"let go."
The man's cold voice interrupted the dream.
Jiang Rong came to her senses and realized that they had returned to Jinyu Garden without knowing when. Xie Lingxi placed her on the low couch, and she let go of his hand.
Xie Lingxi squatted in front of her. With his slender jade-like fingers, he easily took off her shoes and socks, lifted up her trousers, and his eyes fell on her snow-white, jade-like calves, without a single sign of injury.
"Are you hurt?" Xie Lingxi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, asking back.
Jiang Rong's face turned slightly red. "I... I hurt my bones. You can't see it from the outside..."
"Heh." Xie Lingxi sneered. She was quick to learn Xie Ruojiao's ability to lie with open eyes.
"Really, it hurts so much!" Jiang Rong had a wronged face and blinked to pretend to be pitiful:
"I want my husband to pinch me!"
Xie Lingxi's eyes darkened, "Call the female doctor to take a look at her."
"Ah, this..." Jiang Rong failed to deceive her husband. She could only bite her lip and hang her head in dejection:
"No... I'm not hurt... Don't bother anyone else."
"Then why are you pretending to be sick?" Xie Lingxi lowered his eyes to look at her, and his eyes sizing her up. "You almost strangled Qiao to death, and you still want to cheat her out of more money for medicine?"
Jiang Rong curled her lips, "No, I don't. How can the cost of medicine be worth pretending to be sick..."
As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Lingxi, her eyebrows curved, "I just want to trick my husband into a hug!"
Lie to him and give him a hug.
This little girl dares to say it with confidence.
Xie Lingxi said nothing more and turned and left.
"My husband clearly fell in love with me at first sight, but he ignored me." Jiang Rong lowered her eyes, tugging at her sleeves with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Rong'er believed the rumors and thought that my husband was a bad person, so I wrote him a letter of breaking up. I'm sorry, Rong'er apologizes to you, can you please stop ignoring me all the time?"
The girl's aggrieved cry instantly made Xie Lingxi stop in his tracks.
He stopped.
He would rather Jiang Rong spoke harshly to him than deal with such a little crybaby.
"When did I ignore you?" Xie Lingxi turned around and looked at her.
"Now! You leave me alone in the middle of the night and you don't sleep with me!" Jiang Rong felt aggrieved.
Xie Lingxi: ???
The poison of Huangquan has indeed entered the brain!
How could Jiang Rong, before being poisoned, speak to him like this?
"Husband, if you don't like me, just divorce me. I'm not happy that you treat me so coldly." Jiang Rong pouted, feeling angry and aggrieved.
For the first time, Xie Lingxi realized that the most difficult people in the world are women who know how to act like a spoiled child.
Look how angry she is.
I just want someone to coax her.
I can't say a harsh word.
"I... am going to take a shower." Xie Lingxi found an excuse. He was originally going to the study, but couldn't say it.
The grievance on Jiang Rong's face disappeared instantly, and she smiled happily, "Then I will wait for my husband to come back!"
midnight.
The maid put out the candle.
The room was pitch dark.
Jiang Rong quietly opened her eyes and secretly glanced at Xie Lingxi. It was dark at night and she could only see a vague outline.
She reached out and secretly touched Xie Lingxi's cheek, then closed her eyes contentedly.
Tonight I will sleep in my husband's arms!
After she fell asleep, Xie Lingxi, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes and looked down at the girl who was sleeping sweetly in his arms, with a changeable expression.
