Chapter 31
The moonlight was in the sky, illuminating the Chunjing Hall clearly. A few birds fluttered their wings and drew graceful arcs in the air. The branches trembled slightly, shaking off a piece of dry dust, breaking the tranquility of the night. Three or two little girls were sitting in the corner of the corridor playing, scrambling to eat some snacks in their hands. Nanny Lin saw them and scolded them a few times, and the group of people scattered like birds and beasts.
Wang Shuhuai crossed the moon-shaped door through the hall and walked straight to the main room along the stone path in the middle. Nanny Lin saw him, stood respectfully in the corridor and knelt down, then turned and made a face to the little maid hiding in the door, indicating her to bring some ice.
Looking back, Wang Shuhuai was already in front of her. His tall figure standing in the corridor was still taller than Mammy. His eyebrows were covered by the moon-like veil like a thin layer of frost, which gave his originally clear and gentle temperament a layer of alienation.
"Where's Sister Ke?"
Coming at this time, Nanny Lin certainly knew what Wang Shuhuai meant, but unfortunately the main person didn't take it seriously. She replied vaguely, "Sleep...sleep."
Wang Shuhuai just asked casually, walked into the house, walked around the east room and came to the inner and outer room. Through the gauze curtain, he saw Xie Yunchu sitting on the bed, apparently arranging children's clothes. She was wearing a plain Hangzhou silk gauze, and half of her black hair fell down. The hazy glass lamp in the corner flickered, reflecting her graceful and delicate eyebrows.
Wang Shuhuai stood outside the curtain, coughed lightly, and asked, "Why are you going to bed so early?"
Before he finished speaking, a corner of the flat quilt was suddenly lifted up by a small foot, and then Sister Ke's little head popped out from the gauze, looking at him with a smile, and said excitedly, "Daddy!"
During the time when Xie Yunchu was away, Jiang and the second master Wang Shou always came to entertain their granddaughter. They felt uncomfortable hearing their granddaughter calling her "mother" all the time, so they taught her to call "daddy". Now, Ke Jie'er can pronounce the word "daddy" very accurately.
Wang Shuhuai didn't expect that his daughter was on the bed, and he was stunned for a moment.
Xie Yunchu hadn't expected him to come, let alone come back so early. He complained a bit, "Second Master, I finally coaxed her to sleep, and you woke her up as soon as you came."
Wang Shuhuai felt ashamed and walked in slowly, "Then I'll coax her."
Xie Yunchu looked at the little girl with rolling eyes on the bed and shook his head helplessly, "Then you come and comfort her."
After Xie Yunchu went outside, Wang Shuhuai glanced at his wife's back, went to sit beside the bed, picked up the naughty little daughter's quilt, shook her a few times, then held her in his arms and coaxed her to sleep.
Sister Ke was lying in his elbow, her big black and white eyes fixed on her father motionlessly. She looked comfortable and lazy, smiling, not sleepy at all.
Wang Shuhuai coaxed her for a while, and since she felt a little hot, he put her on the bed again. Ke Jieer started crying and asked for her mother. When Xie Yunchu heard her crying, he had to drop the cold tea in his hand and went into the room.
The couple looked at each other with helplessness, not to mention the awkwardness at this time.
Xie Yunchu coaxed his daughter again, laid her down, sat on the left, and fanned her gently with a small palace gauze fan. Wang Shuhuai leaned against the pillow on the right to rest. As soon as Ke Jieer lay down, she couldn't help but look at her father. Xie Yunchu slapped her on the butt and slapped her back. The little girl pouted and wanted to cry, but Xie Yunchu glared at her, and Ke Jieer lay down obediently without saying a word.
Wang Shuhuai heard Xie Yunchu laughing and opened his eyes to look at her.
The light was dim, highlighting her slender and graceful figure, her delicate and fair skin, her eyes like bright apricots, and her hair was re-bundled and loosely pinned with a white jade hairpin, which added a bit of charm and elegance to her. She had never been associated with the word "charming", it was just that her appearance was too good, and with the night color, she became alluring.
Wang Shuhuai's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he glanced at the child. Sister Ke fell asleep with drooping eyelids, so he spoke with confidence, "The Fish Scale Atlas will take at least a year, and at most three years. Have you ever thought about going to Jiangnan with me?"
After hearing this, Xie Yunchu raised his eyes suddenly and asked subconsciously, "Why should I go?"
Wang Shuhuai’s eyes froze.
Xie Yunchu realized that his tone was too blunt, and immediately explained, "What I mean is, you are going to Jiangnan, you will be busy with many affairs, and the wealthy families in Jiangnan are intertwined. Do you have the time to take care of us mother and daughter? I am unfamiliar with the place, and I am afraid..."
She is doing fine at home, feeling comfortable and at ease. Why should she go to that strange place and be scared? Why should Wang Shuhuai drag her to Jiangnan to serve him? She is dreaming!
"I'm afraid I'll get involved in a dispute by accident." She gave a reason that was enough to convince Wang Shuhuai.
Wang Shuhuai had already weighed the pros and cons. His trip to the south of the Yangtze River would be a bloody one, and it would be inconvenient to take Xie Yunchu and her daughter with him. However, when he looked at his affectionate wife just now, he suddenly felt a little attached to her. He asked casually, and since Xie Yunchu was sensible, he naturally would not force it.
"Okay." He responded calmly, without any obvious disappointment, but he couldn't be called happy either.
Since I can't go together, the issue of offspring has to be put on the agenda.
Wang Shuhuai was injured but still insisted on coming to the backyard, wasn't it all for the sake of his offspring?
Xie Yunchu asked directly, "How is the Second Master's injury?"
As long as Wang Shuhuai can do it, there is nothing she can't do. It's not her who is in pain.
Wang Shuhuai's handsome face was slightly disturbed, and his clear eyes met his wife's gaze, and his eyes were pulling at her. Xie Yunchu was not used to this and lowered her eyes. Wang Shuhuai replied in a hoarse voice, "I am not a person who does not know the importance of things."
Xie Yunchu understood, and a thin blush appeared on his cheeks.
The child was already asleep, and Xie Yunchu called the wet nurse to come in and take the child away. As soon as the little daughter, who was in the way, left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated. It was actually still early. This was definitely not the time when Wang Shuhuai usually went to bed, and Xie Yunchu would not go to bed so early. But Wang Shuhuai was obviously waiting for her. Xie Yunchu had already washed, and when she smelled the soapberry scent on his body, she guessed that Wang Shuhuai had also washed.
She got up and went to the corner to blow out the light. When she came back, Wang Shuhuai also moved to lie on his side. The room fell into darkness. Xie Yunchu looked at the gently floating curtains, worried that it would be hot. "Second Master, why don't you open the curtains?"
The stuffiness was not good for Wang Shuhuai's wound.
Wang Shuhuai suddenly smiled, then nodded, "Okay."
Xie Yunchu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard him laugh. There was no one outside and the room was pitch dark. He couldn't see anything and there was nothing to worry about.
After all, it's for his own good.
Curtains were hung everywhere, and the cool air outside seeped in. Wang Shuhuai sat on the bunk bed and looked at his wife. Her slender figure floated in the night like a startled swan. Sometimes it was a pretty face, sometimes it was a thin waist, and it was hard to catch it. Fortunately, she got on the bed quickly. Wang Shuhuai gently hugged her in his arms. Xie Yunchu lay down, put her hands on his shoulders, and took the initiative to help him unbutton his collar.
Although he knew that she was concerned about his injury, he was still very happy.
Having thought about her for a few days, he was no longer reserved now, worried about separation. Wang Shuhuai gave his all, and Xie Yunchu accepted it very happily. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she almost subconsciously grabbed his shoulder, and his long fingers scratched the wound. Wang Shuhuai said nothing, without showing any signs. When Xie Yunchu realized what he had done, her face flushed with embarrassment,
"Second Master...does it...hurt?"
Wang Shuhuai responded to her with practical actions.
At the end, it was quarter past three in the evening. Because of their injuries, both of them were very tense. After the break, Xie Yunchu was almost exhausted. She watched Wang Shuhuai slowly putting on his clothes, her eyes falling on his left shoulder, "I really can't move anymore. Can the second master take a bath by himself?" The blow she had just given him was not light, and his wound must be bleeding.
Wang Shuhuai said calmly, "Take a rest."
A quarter of an hour later, everyone came back from the shower, and the room was brand new. Xie Yunchu fell asleep as usual, and Wang Shuhuai dozed off for a while. In the middle of the night, he vaguely felt an arm rubbing against his right shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes, and the moonlight poured silver light into the room. His wife's beautiful face came into view clearly. Perhaps it was the cold air beside the bed that was creepy, and she unconsciously leaned towards the heat source.
Her clothes were rubbed open, revealing her shoulders half exposed. Her snow-white skin was so close to her. Wang Shuhuai didn't know if it was instinct, but he couldn't help but lean closer. The sweet breath rushed into his nose, arousing the possessiveness that belonged to a man's bones. His warm and cool lips covered hers, rubbing lightly. A light taste was not enough, so he almost held it in his mouth and sucked it slowly.
Xie Yunchu couldn't help shivering in her sleep, and a few moans escaped from her lips. This completely ignited her dormant desire. Wang Shuhuai took off her thin shirt without hesitation, revealing a large area of her beautiful jade-like back. It was like a beauty that he had never seen before, emitting a fatal temptation. He kissed from Lingping's shoulder bones to her vest, moving forward like a hot knife through butter.
A spasm spread from his lips to his whole body. Xie Yunchu subconsciously trembled, and the heat rose from the bottom of her heart, breaking through the shackles bit by bit, and also washed away the hazy sleepiness without a trace. When she realized what the man behind her was doing, Xie Yunchu was stunned for a long time. Her mind was so blank that she didn't know how to react. She just turned around and intercepted his kiss. The man was suspended above her. She couldn't see his expression clearly in the light behind her, but she felt as if a pair of deep eyes were staring at her. She murmured, "Wang Shuhuai...what are you doing?"
The sudden intimacy left her at a loss.
She had never been kissed like this before, and she couldn't tell whether it felt good or bad. She felt an uncontrollable and involuntary heat flowing through her limbs and bones. She was not used to losing control.
The man's face was still hidden in the dark and could not be discerned. All that could be heard was his particularly hoarse and thick voice.
"You set the date, but didn't limit the number of times. It's not even midnight yet, so it's still the 15th."
Xie Yunchu: “…”
