Chapter 114 Wasn’t that a dream last night?
Li Qingxue shouted loudly, and then said to Liang Weiyuan with a look of pity: "You are the one who cares about your big brother. Look at you, you have lost weight from working so hard."
"Remember to have Meishu prepare some nourishing food. Otherwise, what will happen if things continue like this? Put it away quickly. Don't let yourself be wronged. Do you want to make mother worry to death?"
Liang Weiyuan suddenly choked with laughter and tears, "Mom..."
Not only does he keep his word when it comes to matters concerning his mother, but he also shows such irresistible concern for himself.
Before Liang Weiyuan could finish her words, Li Qingxue quickly waved her hand to interrupt her, gave her a series of instructions, and stuffed the land deeds and banknotes into her arms.
Liang Weiyuan was so stubborn that she finally accepted it and sent her mother out.
The gilded carriage moved further and further away, the dust it raised gradually dissipating in the twilight.
Liang Weiyuan leaned against the vermilion door frame, staring at the direction her mother left for a long time without moving. The gold and silver in her arms seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, ironing her heart.
"When I'm free in the future, I'll accompany you back home to visit again."
Huo Jinjian's voice came from behind him, with a barely perceptible hoarseness.
He walked slowly to Liang Weiyuan's side, his sword-like brows slightly relaxed, his eyes filled with soothing.
Liang Weiyuan turned around and saw Huo Jin's slightly tired face. She couldn't help but frown and said, "You're still talking about me. You're being stubborn again today. Does your leg hurt?"
"Since my mother-in-law is here, I have to behave well." He raised his eyebrows, seeming satisfied with his performance.
Liang Weiyuan was amused by him, and with a "puff" sound, the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye also moved.
She deliberately raised the deed in her hand and jokingly counted out the details: "Isn't that right? From now on, I will support you, and you just need to be a beautiful and sickly man."
Thinking about how the cold-faced man in her previous life had become her sickly husband, Liang Weiyuan couldn't help but sigh at the strange tricks of fate.
She raised her head with a smile on her face, and suddenly met Huo Jin's eyes. She was startled.
His dark pupils seemed to be churning with inexplicable emotions, like a bottomless pool that sucked her in completely.
His sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised, his thin lips were slightly parted, and he smiled helplessly yet revealed a hint of doting.
Liang Weiyuan's heartbeat quickened slightly, and she felt her face burning from being stared at. She turned slightly away and said, "Alright, my husband, stop standing there. Come back to the room and rest for a while."
Maybe it was just her illusion just now.
Although the two are husband and wife, Liang Weiyuan has heard that Huo Jin was not interested in women in his previous life, so in this life Liang Weiyuan only wants to cooperate with him.
She doesn't have the nerve to be so self-indulgent.
Because she was in a relaxed mood, Liang Weiyuan quickly fell asleep peacefully on the side bed after nightfall.
The sound of the night watchman rang intermittently outside the Green Bamboo Courtyard, until Wei San's low voice came through the window frame, carrying the coolness of the night dew.
"Master, there is news."
Seeing that he was not asleep, Huo Jin got up, put on his clothes, opened the window and took the secret letter handed to him.
It's a secret signal from the Anbu, they will come over today.
Seeing the letter closed, Huo Jin said in a deep voice, "Don't make it public. Burn the letter."
Although he lowered his voice, the slight noise still woke up Liang Weiyuan who was standing next to him.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up slightly. Her moon-white nightgown slipped down to her shoulders, revealing half of her white collarbone.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Wei San started to shudder, immediately pulled out the secret letter and ran away.
When Huo Jin turned around, the sharpness in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
He came to the couch, his eyes paused on the woman's slightly open collar, then quickly looked away as if burned.
Seeing Liang Weiyuan's hazy look with her eyes half-closed, Huo Jin couldn't help but raise his hand to tidy up her soft hair.
His fingertips inadvertently rubbed the woman's warm earlobe, and his palm felt a little itchy. He lowered his eyes to soothe her.
"Nothing. Wei San said the kitchen had prepared some calming soup and he just brought it to me."
His voice was low and pleasant, slowly seeping into the ears and lulling people to sleep, "Go to sleep."
The palm touching the hair felt extremely comfortable, and Liang Weiyuan's sleepiness became more and more intense in an instant, and she was extremely sleepy.
"Um……"
She nodded as if she was half awake, turned over, and soon her light and even breathing sounds were heard again.
In the dark night, Huo Jin saw a smile in his eyes and pulled up her pajamas that had slipped off.
Only after he was sure that she was sound asleep did he get up, put on his robe, and walked towards the study.
The next morning, facing the mottled light and shadow, Liang Weiyuan rubbed her sleepy eyes and gradually woke up.
Only then did she realize that the pearl string in her hair had come loose at some point, and her waterfall-like hair was curled up slightly and hung beside her flushed cheeks.
Liang Weiyuan blinked, but there was still some sleepiness at the corners of her eyes.
Um?
In a trance, her mind seemed to flash back to the scene of last night when she was half asleep and half awake, seeing Huo Jinjian, and being coaxed to sleep by his gentle voice.
Looking at the fallen hair tie, could it be... that last night wasn't a dream?
