Chapter 189 Gentle and Graceful
It's been so many days, why is it still so cold?
Seeing Xiao Jue's expression, Xie Qingran rolled her eyes and walked over with a somewhat aggrieved look: "Is the young master still angry?"
Xiao Jue was indeed angry, but not at Xie Qingran; he was angry at himself and at the divine physician!
Looking at Xie Qingran's pitiful state, Xiao Jue felt a pang of sympathy and guilt.
"sit down."
Xiao Jue softened his tone and pointed to the spot in front of him.
Xie Qingran immediately sat down, then took off her clothes and looked at Xiao Jue with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jue's breath caught in his throat for a moment.
After these days of treatment, Xie Qingran's chest wound has been slowly healing, and now only pink fresh skin and flesh remain. In fact, it is already almost completely healed.
Unfortunately, Xie Qingran's skin was snow-white, making the pink color stand out even more.
Xie Qingran smiled slightly, her cheeks flushed like a peach.
Xiao Jue's breathing became rapid. He walked over and sat down next to Xie Qingran. Just as he reached out and touched Xie Qingran's chest, he saw Xie Qingran bite her lower lip.
"pain?"
Xiao Jue was taken aback by her expression.
She never complained of pain when the dressing was changed, even though it was bloody. How come she's in pain now that everything's healed?
"It doesn't hurt here."
Xie Qingran looked at Xiao Jue with a wronged expression, took his hand, and slipped it inside her collar, placing it on her full chest: "Your Highness, it hurts here."
"You, you, you! What kind of behavior is this?!"
Xiao Jue seemed like a wronged young wife, quickly pulling her hand back.
Seeing this, Xie Qingran lay face down on the bed, her elbow slamming heavily against the bed frame: "Ah!"
"Qingran".
Xiao Jue belatedly realized that he had acted too quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Qingran, his face full of guilt: "Did I hurt you?"
Xie Qingran took the opportunity to cling to his neck, pressing her entire body against him. Her clothes were already disheveled, and with this movement, a large expanse of her white chest was exposed.
Xiao Jue wasn't a monk; with such a beautiful view before him, how could he possibly remain unmoved?
He immediately took the initiative and embraced Xie Qingran: "Is this a honey trap?"
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. I won't hurt myself again, okay?"
Xie Qingran looked at Xiao Jue with longing eyes, cupped his face, and kissed him again and again.
Seeing this, Xiao Jue completely lost his temper. He put his arm around Xie Qingran's waist, gently kissed the scar on her chest, and said, "I'm angry at myself!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran knew that he was no longer so angry. She smiled slightly, leaned against his chest, and whispered, "Don't be angry, Your Highness, please don't be angry, okay?"
Seeing Xie Qingran's pitiful appearance, Xiao Jue had no mind to be angry anymore. He directly pressed her down on the bed and said, "Qingran, in this life, I will never let you down!"
Xie Qingran looked at him shyly: "Me too."
At dinner time, the family finally sat down at the table again and ate peacefully.
Qin was an experienced woman, so she could tell at a glance that the atmosphere between the young couple had changed, and their every move had become exceptionally intimate. This indicated that they had probably already consummated their marriage.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yanran were children and couldn't see through all the intricacies, but they knew that the atmosphere at dinner was very good. So the two of them eagerly started chattering about what happened at school that day, especially Xiao Yanran.
She used to be too shy to say a word, but now she's much more outgoing and no longer the timid girl she once was.
Seeing the child's appearance and the changes in him, Xie Qingran's lips curled up slightly, quite satisfied.
She chuckled softly, then ruffled Xiao Yanran's hair: "Our Yanran is really amazing, she can even write poetry now?"
"The teacher said my poem wasn't good, but it was still realistic. I need to work harder in the future!"
"Third brother has been working hard lately, studying and practicing martial arts at the same time, and he's lost weight!"
Xiao Yanran looked at Xiao Yu with pleading eyes, clearly feeling genuinely sorry for her brother.
Xiao Yu felt a warm glow inside as she sensed her sister's concern for her: "I'm not tired at all!"
As he spoke, Xiao Yu immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up, and showed them his small muscles.
"Sister-in-law, look, am I much stronger than before!"
Xie Qingran smiled slightly as she looked at his innocent and adorable appearance.
She nodded seriously: "You are indeed much stronger than before. It seems you've been working very hard lately!"
"Yes, I study very hard!"
"I want to be a great general who conquers battlefields in the future!"
Xiao Yu looked at Xie Qingran very seriously.
"Sit down and eat."
Xiao Jue smiled as he watched the boy's excited expression.
Xiao Yu belatedly realized what was happening and quickly returned to his previous seat to continue eating.
Seeing his adorable appearance, Xiao Jue smiled and said softly, "How about we go on a spring outing as a family tomorrow? I've made kites for you all, let's go to the manor to fly kites together tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran's eyes immediately lit up: "Great! I haven't flown a kite in ages!"
But soon, Xie Qingran thought of something and said directly, "Your Highness, how about bringing the Fifth Prince along? I also have something to say to the Fifth Prince."
“Of course.” Xiao Jue glanced at Xie Qingran, his eyes darkening. “But is there something you really want to say to him?”
Is he jealous?
Xie Qingran watched Xiao Jue's changing expression and smiled slightly: "It means I have something important to say. You'll know tomorrow, Your Highness!"
After the meal, Xie Qingran went back to Xiao Yanran's courtyard with her.
"Yanran, how's your needlework training going lately?"
Xie Qingran tilted her head and looked at Xiao Yanran.
"Sister-in-law, I don't like embroidery, and I don't like reading either." Xiao Yanran has become much bolder now, so she speaks much more directly than before.
oh?
Hearing this, Xie Qingran became curious and immediately leaned forward, hugged her, and asked softly, "So what do you like? Tell your sister-in-law, okay?"
"I don't know what I like, but studying is hard and embroidery is troublesome, so I don't like it."
"Sister-in-law, do girls have to live like this? They have to be well-educated, gentle, and virtuous, right?"
Xiao Yanran is the daughter of a military family and was not disciplined when she was young, so she naturally cannot accept these rules and regulations now.
Seeing the girl's confused look, Xie Qingran smiled and said calmly, "Most women live like this."
