Chapter 372
When Shen Rang returned in the evening, he asked if Yao Duoduo had come over to cause trouble. Yunxi laughed when she heard this: "Susu happened to be here too. But speaking of which, Susu's mouth is really sharp. Luckily, she didn't scold me, or I would have been scared to death."
Shen Rang chuckled.
Yunxi couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
Shen Rang met her gaze, raising an eyebrow slightly: "What's wrong?"
"You seem especially happy today," Yunxi said. "Is there something good happening?"
Shen Rang smiled but remained silent.
There will naturally be joyous occasions.
Huo Shu, having grown up on the battlefield, proved himself capable; with him around, the troublesome banditry in Lingnan was quelled so quickly.
He swiftly and decisively quelled the rebellion in Lingnan, winning several brilliant victories in a row. The remaining bandits have now gone into hiding and dare not show their faces again.
He should be able to return to Luoyang soon.
Seeing that Shen Rang remained silent, Yun Xi couldn't help but tilt her head, her eyes filled with even more confusion.
In the past, if Shen Rang had something happy happen to him, he would definitely tell her about it when he got back. It's really rare to see someone like this today...
However, Yunxi really had no time to care about Chen Rang right now.
She was sleepy again after having just eaten dinner.
She never did this in her past life...
Although she was depressed because she was trapped in the small back room in her past life, she was still in pretty good spirits.
Thinking of this, Yunxi suddenly shuddered.
She always thought it was normal to feel sleepy during pregnancy, but what if someone was taking advantage of that?
Seeing that Yunxi's expression was off, Shen Rang subconsciously became nervous: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Yunxi snapped out of her reverie and shook her head awkwardly: "No, I'm just a little sleepy."
Upon hearing this, Shen Rang breathed a sigh of relief and accompanied her back to rest.
As night deepened, darkness and silence descended upon the Marquis's residence. But then, two female figures carrying lanterns walked along the path toward the side gate.
A slightly hunched figure stood by the side gate; it was Granny Liu.
When they were still some distance from the side gate, Pearl stopped and said, "Young Madam, I'll wait here. Please be careful."
Yun Wan nodded and went straight out of the side gate.
Outside the side gate stood a tall figure.
The man was dressed in black, clearly having just gotten married, yet there was no joy in his eyes; instead, a faint sorrow lingered around him.
"Cousin." Yun Wan quickly walked a few steps to him, and the next moment the man reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Strong arms completely enveloped her, and her every breath was filled with Yun Ruiyang's scent.
Yun Wan's eyes widened slightly.
After a long silence, Yun Ruiyang sighed, "Wanwan, I miss you."
Before he confessed his feelings, he could suppress his longing even if they didn't see each other for years, but he can't now.
He used to want to see her but couldn't, but now that he misses her, he's come.
Fortunately, Yunwan was also willing to see him.
Yun Wan leaned against him, a secret sense of pride rising in her heart, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
She possesses such an unforgettable charm.
"Cousin, you're out so late, where's Ning Shuang?"
“I lit some calming incense in the room, and she’s already asleep.” As he spoke, Yun Ruiyang tightened his grip slightly.
Now, Yun Wan was completely relieved.
She lifted her head from Yun Ruiyang's embrace, a faint smile on her face: "Cousin, why are you leaving your own warm bride to come here?"
Looking at her, Yun Ruiyang couldn't help but say, "Of course I want to come and cherish you."
Hearing his words, Yun Wan blushed and quickly lowered her head.
