Chapter 13
In the west wing, all the maids kept quiet and held their breath, acting respectfully and solemnly.
Wang Shuhuai didn't talk while eating, and Xie Yunchu didn't like to nag either, so the couple ate in silence.
Only Sister Ke made a smacking sound. Her wet nurse was holding her, and Nanny Lin personally fed her yam paste. When she was happy with the meal, she laughed heartily. Sister Ke had a good appetite and ate very well. Xie Yunchu was very pleased. Sister Ke seemed to be encouraged, and her little eyes glanced at Wang Shuhuai. Wang Shuhuai noticed it and looked up at her, and also showed some gentleness.
Sister Ke became more and more demanding and opened her little arms to ask Wang Shuhuai to hold her.
Wang Shuhuai rarely spoke, his voice was as clear as ever.
"After you finish eating, Daddy will hold you."
Ke Jie'er began to twist in the wet nurse's arms, making gestures towards her father. The wet nurse looked at Xie Yunchu with some embarrassment. Xie Yunchu gestured, and the wet nurse gritted her teeth and held the child while sitting next to Wang Shuhuai. Ke Jie'er then looked at her father with her cute eyes wide open.
Wait for him to finish eating, wait for him to hug you.
Wang Shuhuai: …
Wang Shuhuai heard his wife's faint smile from the side, and he glanced at her. Xie Yunchu smiled without saying anything. Wang Shuhuai had no choice but to speed up his originally elegant movements.
After a while, Wang Shuhuai washed his hands and drank tea, then took Ke Jie'er from the wet nurse and carried her to take a walk outside in the corridor.
The sky had gone completely dark, with a hazy light like mist. Layers of leaves shaded the low-hanging eaves. The servants cleaned up the rooms and lit the lamps one by one.
With the experience from last time, Wang Shuhuai knew how to amuse Ke Jie'er. He lifted the child up high. Ke Jie'er waved her hands and feet in the air, giggling. After Wang Shuhuai held her for a while, she opened her arms towards Xie Yunchu, tossing and turning in her parents' arms, enjoying it very much.
It silently eased the estrangement between the couple.
Yuepan slowly climbed up to the treetop and made a fuss for a while to digest the food. The wet nurse hurried over to take the child. When Wang Shuhuai was about to let go, Kejie's little mouth pouted and she immediately burst into tears of grievance.
She wants to hug again.
Wang Shuhuai insisted on handing her over to the wet nurse, so Nanny Lin and others left quietly, leaving only the two masters.
The man had black hair and prominent eyebrows, standing in the wind, his facial features were refined and noble, and his temperament was so extraordinary that it seemed as if he should not live in this world.
Xie Yunchu stood one step behind Wang Shuhuai, not too far away.
In her previous life, she chased after his figure, always feeling that he was very close yet always far away. Now, looking at the handsome man in front of her, she suddenly thought that to win a man's heart is the biggest scam in the world. Isn't it good to just appreciate the beauty?
Wang Shuhuai turned his eyes to the side and saw Xie Yunchu leaning against the pillar watching the father and daughter quarreling, with the smile in his eyes still there.
Her hazy eyebrows and snow-white neck, her slender and graceful body embraced by the moonlight, gently blown by the wind, have a kind of beauty that represents the peaceful and tranquil years.
Wang Shuhuai believed that tranquility was beauty. His wife had a good family background, a gentle temperament, and acted steadily and virtuously. He had no dissatisfaction with her.
"I'm going to take a shower." He said as he passed by her.
The bra passed over her knees, causing slight irritation from the friction of the fabric.
Xie Yunchu naturally knew what he meant. Since the rules were set, she had no reason to be shy and turned around and followed him in.
Wang Shuhuai didn't like people to be present when he was bathing. Xie Yunchu didn't know this rule at first, and he always took the initiative to go in and serve him. Wang Shuhuai endured it at first, but one day when he drank some wine, he told the truth. Xie Yunchu remembered that he felt hurt at the time and withdrew with grievance.
With the experience from her previous life, Xie Yunchu told the maid to prepare her clothes early, and she didn't even show her figure.
Wang Shuhuai didn't think much of it. After a while, he came out of the shower and saw Xie Yunchu, who had changed into a light red silk slanting-collared long gown and was bending over to tidy up the children's clothes. Her slender waist was drooping, outlining a graceful and moving curve, and the softness of her chest almost hit the table.
My wife rarely dresses so beautifully.
Wang Shuhuai had noticed all the changes in Xie Yunchu over the past month. Although it was not a big deal, he still had some doubts in his heart. Seeing that she was dressed more beautifully today, he guessed that maybe her mother's words last time had stimulated her, and now she was focusing on herself.
Wang Shuhuai was not the kind of person who was harsh on his wife and was happy to see it happen.
When a woman dresses up to please the man she loves, it at least shows that she cares about him, but the way she cares is different from before.
Wang Shuhuai looked away and sat down on the kang bed as usual, planning to read a book for a while, after all, it was still early.
It turned out that the small case was empty.
He glanced at his wife subconsciously.
Xie Yunchu held Kejie's clothes and handed them to Chunqi who was waiting outside the curtain. She noticed Wang Shuhuai's expression out of the corner of her eye and laughed secretly. In the past, Wang Shuhuai always had to read for half a day, and it would be almost midnight after that. He was always reserved and restrained, and it would take a long time to restrain himself. She really didn't want to stay up so late, which was not good for her health. She simply took his book so that she could go to bed early after finishing the job.
After Xie Yunchu handed the things to the maid, he turned around, leaned against the antique shelf and yawned.
Wang Shuhuai understood and went into the inner room first.
Xie Yunchu immediately blew out the light and went in.
The room was pitch black, without even a light on, and two people lay on the bed, one in front of the other.
Wang Shuhuai slept on the inside and Xie Yunchu on the outside.
Both of them were very clear-headed and knew what to do next. Being too purposeful would have been embarrassing.
As his breathing rose and fell, Wang Shuhuai took the initiative to start a conversation for the first time in his life.
"Why didn't you leave the lights on?"
In the past, a small glass lamp would be left.
Xie Yunchu didn't know why she didn't turn on the light, but she did it anyway. She answered quietly, "I forgot to turn it on just now."
It was not a big deal, so Wang Shuhuai naturally didn't say anything. He lay down quietly with his hands behind his head.
Xie Yunchu slept in his own place without moving.
In the past, she always took the initiative to move closer to him, and even gently took off his belt. In this life, she wanted to see how long Wang Shuhuai could remain reserved.
There was a distance between the two of them, and the moonlight was pouring down like the Milky Way.
Wang Shuhuai really thought that Xie Yunchu would come over. After all, his wife was very docile in this regard. His pillow was higher, and from his position he could just catch a glimpse of Xie Yunchu's whole body. His wife pulled out her hairpin, and her entire head of shiny black hair spread on the pillow. She was picking up a strand of hair and wrapping it around her fingertips, with her knees slightly bent, maintaining a leisurely posture, which was very different from her past cautious and restrained demeanor.
The hazy moonlight drifted in like light smoke, vaguely outlining the outline of the bed.
The slender jade fingers bent and stretched, as if covered with a layer of light.
The two gradually adapted to the darkness in the tent.
Wang Shuhuai knew that Xie Yunchu was waiting for him.
In this kind of thing, men should take the initiative, and Xie Yunchu did too well in the past.
He stretched out his long arms and easily clamped her smooth waist, bringing Xie Yunchu over. Their bodies collided with each other, then turned around and Xie Yunchu was under him.
The inevitable friction of fabrics, the collision of hardness and softness.
Xie Yunchu was still somewhat shy and his hands slowly dropped.
Fortunately, the light was darker in Wang Shuhuai's corner, and they could hardly see each other.
They didn't look at each other either.
The harder it is to see clearly, the more acute the friction of our bodies becomes.
His breath pressed on her face and ears, and his hands withdrew from her waist in time, leaving a slight softness and numbness.
Wang Shuhuai didn't actually touch her. He was a gentleman and was not used to sending signals with his body.
"Is it okay?" The voice was calm, at least that's how Xie Yunchu heard it.
Xie Yunchu's cheeks felt a little hot, and he just wanted it to be over quickly, so he nodded easily.
Not counting the previous life, the two of them had only done it four or five times since their wedding. The couple was lucky and soon had a child. Not to mention Xie Yunchu, even Wang Shuhuai felt a little unfamiliar and even nervous.
But he never shows his emotions.
His slender fingers untied Xie Yunchu's belt, and then he raised his voice slightly, "Madam?"
Xie Yunchu understood that he wanted her to take off his belt. This kind of thing should be consensual.
Xie Yunchu rustled his waist, and their snow-white clothes were tangled together. When Wang Shuhuai went in, Xie Yunchu felt the pain as if an axe was chiseling his body. He pulled his clothes hard and let out a sound.
