Chapter 842
That night, Ding Yu and Qi Jing stayed together sweetly, but Dou Kou couldn't sleep a wink.
She sat alone in the courtyard, looking up at the sparse stars in the sky, lost in thought.
Before we knew it, dawn had broken.
Doukou remained seated and did not move.
It wasn't until dawn, when the sunlight gradually became dazzling, that the courtyard gate creaked open.
Ding Yu is back.
He was still wearing the same blue robe he had worn when he went out yesterday.
The clothes were ironed by Doukou herself. When he wore them, they were perfectly smooth, but now they were covered in wrinkles.
As soon as he entered, he saw Doukou sitting in the courtyard, and his face visibly froze.
But he quickly readjusted himself, reverting to the gentle demeanor that Doukou was familiar with: "Why are you sitting in the courtyard?"
"I'm waiting for you."
Her lips parted slightly, her gaze seemingly as gentle as ever, but for some reason, Ding Yu seemed to see a hint of sadness in it.
However, when Ding Yu focused his attention, he could not see anything unusual.
“I went out yesterday, thinking it would be too late to come back and I didn’t want to disturb you, so I rested outside,” Ding Yu explained. “But now it seems I should have come back to keep you company, right?”
Doukou smiled.
As Ding Yu got closer, Doukou smelled a faint fragrance emanating from him.
The fragrance wasn't strong; it didn't seem to emanate solely from the clothes, but rather from the body itself.
Cardamom is particularly sensitive to a woman's fragrance.
The fact that such a lingering scent remained on Ding Yu made Doukou realize what had happened last night, and she immediately frowned.
But Ding Yu didn't notice her odd behavior: "Have you had breakfast? What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Doukou took his hand and made him sit down next to her.
Ding Yu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Ding Lang, I've heard about that girl too. Did you really seduce her?"
“Of course not!” Ding Yu said firmly. “Speaking of what happened back then… it’s really hard to talk about. I went there that day intending to say goodbye to her, but I didn’t expect her to… But she is, after all, a woman, and for the sake of her reputation, I can’t tell the truth.”
After saying that, Ding Yu sighed heavily.
Doukou twitched her lips, unsure whether she believed him or not: "Ding Lang, I thought about it a lot last night. You're right. After all, she's a young woman. For the sake of her reputation and life, I think it's not impossible to have her come to our house as a concubine."
Seeing Ding Yu's eyes light up slightly, Dou Kou's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face: "However, that girl comes from a higher social class than me, and I'm afraid she won't be willing to be subordinate to me. Now that she hasn't entered the family, I have no right to say anything to her. So if possible, Ding Lang, could you please speak to her for me?"
Almost as soon as Doukou finished speaking, Ding Yu said, "Okay, leave this to me. Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to persuade her!"
This is truly a joyous occasion!
Last night, when he was being intimate with Qi Jing, Qi Jing nestled against his chest and said that she would be willing to be his concubine as long as she could be with him. He never expected that as soon as he returned, Dou Kou would say such a thing!
So understanding and considerate, she truly deserves to be his wife!
"My dear wife, please sit for a while. I'll make you breakfast right away. We can talk about anything else after we eat."
After saying that, Ding Yu got up and left.
Watching his unusually light footsteps, Doukou's eyes were blank, but she still subconsciously raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen.
