When Fu Rongchen came out, he saw his newlywed wife, who had burrowed into the covers.
He paused, somewhat amused.
He went over and picked her up, blanket and all.
"Take a bath before you sleep, okay?" he coaxed softly.
Wrapped in the blanket, Shangguan Yanran immediately tensed up, stammering nervously, "I...I don't need to take a bath." After saying that, she felt a little annoyed. Would Fu Rongchen think she was sloppy and didn't like to bathe?
She was completely hidden under the covers, and her voice came through the covers, making it somewhat muffled, but Fu Rongchen still heard it clearly.
"You should at least wash your face, right? You still have makeup on, it's not good to sleep like this," Fu Rongchen said patiently.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yanran pulled back the covers and poked her head out. "I... I think I'll go take a shower." She had been up all day, and she couldn't fall asleep without taking a shower.
"Hmm." Fu Rongchen looked at her messy hair, a smile playing on his lips, and reached out to tidy it up for her.
Shangguan Yanran's gaze fell on him.
He was only wearing his undergarments, and his body still carried the freshness and faint fragrance of a bath, which was different from usual.
In public, he was always impeccably dressed, giving off a refined and handsome impression; she had never seen him wearing undergarments.
The white undergarment had no other decorations, but it looked very good on him, making him appear handsome and charming.
"Go ahead." Fu Rongchen patted her on the shoulder.
Shangguan Yanran snapped out of her daze, looked up and met his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
"Oh." She quickly put on her shoes, got out of bed, and rushed to the bathroom.
After she took off her clothes, she belatedly realized that she hadn't brought any change of clothes in at all.
She was completely dumbfounded.
Does she have to put her clothes back on and go out to get them again?
She raised her hand and pounded her head, unable to believe she had been so stupid.
But there's no way around it now. I can't exactly ask Fu Rongchen to deliver it to me, can I?
She seemed a little embarrassed.
She picked up her clothes and was about to put them back on when there was a knock on the door of the bathroom. "Yanran, you forgot your clothes."
Even though there was a door between them, Shangguan Yanran was still startled when she heard the sound, and her breathing became somewhat choked with tension.
"Oh." After a long while, she responded softly, opened the door a crack, and stretched out a hand.
Fu Rongchen took her clothes and stood outside the door. At this moment, he saw a jade-like arm sticking out from the crack in the door. He narrowed his eyes for a moment before placing the clothes in her hands.
After receiving the clothes, Shangguan Yanran quickly withdrew her hand and closed the door.
Only after hearing Fu Rongchen's footsteps fade into the distance did she breathe a sigh of relief and begin her bath.
After bathing and getting dressed, Shangguan Yanran suddenly remembered something.
She put the booklet her mother gave her last night into the trunk where she kept her clothes.
Did Fu Rongchen see it when he got her clothes?
Thinking of this, she disregarded her shyness, opened the door, and rushed back into the inner room.
Inside the room, Fu Rongchen leaned against the headboard, reading a book.
Seeing her come out, he looked up from his book at her.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yanran stopped in her tracks and slowly moved over, her eyes fixed on the book in his hand.
Why does the book cover look so familiar?
She leaned closer to take a look, and when she saw what was inside, she screamed and snatched it from his hand.
"Fu Rongchen, you..."
