Chapter 74: Tenderness
Lu Weiqing cleaned up carefully and was about to go back to his room, but he saw Lu Zhaoyang walking towards the small kitchen angrily and asked casually.
When asked this question, Zhaoyang started to complain bitterly.
"It's Li Yu, looking for a favor to repay. He wants to eat some plain noodles in the middle of the night and specifically asks me to cook it myself."
Zhaoyang muttered a few complaints, and Lu Weiqing finally understood the whole story. He learned that the prince had taken the opportunity to stay in the mansion, and his eyebrows raised, his black eyes became deep.
"He's looking for death. Don't worry about him, just drive him away."
Seeing that he was about to deal with the prince, Zhaoyang softened his heart again and gently pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "It's late, let's move tomorrow."
"No matter what, he saved us. If we drive him away now, it will only lead to gossip."
Lu Weiqing sneered and looked at his sister with worry in her eyes. In the end, he did not insist any longer and just told her not to worry about the scoundrel and he would take care of it himself.
Lu Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his elder brother had shown mercy. He did not dare to mention the matter of cooking noodles again and returned to his room in embarrassment.
When Lu Weiqing entered the room, there was still a hint of anger on his face and a frown between his brows.
Jiang Ran heard him say that he wanted to drive the prince away, and knew that he was angry, so he came forward to comfort him.
"The prince meant well, and although he was a little careless, thankfully nothing serious happened. He was even injured trying to save us..."
Hearing that A Ran also pleaded for him, Lu Weiqing became even more unhappy.
"That's because he's useless."
"You can't even handle the dirty tricks of the harem, and yet you still dare to covet Zhaoyang."
Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment after hearing what he said.
He pinched his fingers and paused for a moment before saying, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
"I see they always quarrel every time they meet. The prince is always deliberately making Zhaoyang angry. He doesn't seem to be interested in her."
Lu Weiqing looked at Jiang Ran intently for a while and rubbed his temples.
It's a headache. Why is he worrying about others? His little girl doesn't even understand his feelings yet.
"You've always been slow in these matters, so it's normal that you can't see it."
Lu Weiqing just mentioned it lightly, but Jiang Ran immediately became dissatisfied.
"Then let's make a bet to see if I'm slow or you're the one with dirty thoughts."
She puffed out her cheeks and sat next to the low table with her hands on her hips.
She specially sent someone to buy Xunwei Ju's latest sweet soup, wanting Lu Weiqing to try it.
But he just laughed at her as soon as he came.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran picked up a bowl of sweet soup and started eating it by himself.
Lu Weiqing knew she was being petty, so he deliberately sighed, "We've been sleeping in the open air all this way, eating poorly and sleeping poorly, but no one cares."
Jiang Ran softened his heart upon hearing this, and his anger subsided a lot. He pushed the other bowl of sweet soup towards him.
Lu Weiqing seemed not to notice her actions and came closer to her with a thick face.
Jiang Ran was surprised. This person had become even more shameless after leaving for a while.
"I've drunk this bowl, and that bowl is for you."
Lu Weiqing stared at her intently and said with a flattering face, "I just want to drink from your bowl, Madam."
Jiang Ran held the spoon, not knowing whether to drink it or put it down.
Seeing that she was still thinking seriously and was very cute, Lu Weiqing's heart moved, and he quickly leaned over and kissed the corner of Jiang Ran's lips.
"sweet."
She subconsciously covered her lips and stammered, "You you you——"
Lu Weiqing took advantage and stopped while he was ahead. When she looked over, he was already sitting upright beside her, drinking sweet soup.
That night, Lu Weiqing tentatively called out to Ah Ran.
Jiang Ran hadn't slept in the same bed with him for a long time, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, so he deliberately didn't answer.
Hearing her pause and then the deliberate and shallow breathing, he immediately knew that the little girl was pretending to be asleep.
Lu Weiqing stretched out his hand and wrapped her and the quilt in his arms. He rubbed his chin on the soft hair on top of her head and raised his thin lips in an upward arc.
This is really hard for Jiang Ran.
The weather has turned warmer, and she loves to kick off the quilt. Now, not only can she not kick it off, she is also wrapped tightly and is being baked by a very hot stove.
After a while, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, wetting his hair.
Lu Weiqing noticed that Ah Ran was sweating from the heat, but he was holding it in, wanting to see when she would lose her temper.
Jiang Ran endured it for a while, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only pretend to be asleep, kicking his legs, lifting a corner of the quilt, stretching himself, and stretching his arms out to get some fresh air.
Who would have thought that Lu Weiqing, perhaps because he was afraid that she would catch a cold, covered her with a blanket several times.
Jiang Ran was worried, and Lu Weiqing didn't feel any better either.
He was the one who had the bad intention first, but the little girl in his arms kept moving restlessly, like a cat, which made his Adam's apple roll and his heart burn.
The longing that had accumulated over the past few days came flooding back, and he wished he could immediately press her on the pillow and caress her.
But at this moment, Jiang Ran lost his patience and kicked to the side, hitting Lu Wei in the awkward spot under the hem of his green robe, making him break out in a cold sweat.
She successfully broke free and turned over comfortably, covered only with a corner of the quilt.
Lu Weiqing only managed to calm down for a moment before the surging emotions gradually came back, becoming very agonizing.
While he was struggling with his conscience, Jiang Ran opened her cherry lips slightly and fell asleep quietly.
Looking at the sleeping kitten, Lu Weiqing felt like there was something stuck in his throat.
Finally, he sighed, took the fair and moist little hand beside the pillow, and gently bit the back of her hand, leaving a shallow tooth mark.
Then he stroked her hair again, left a kiss on her temple, and stood up reluctantly.
Jiang Ran was completely unaware that the man beside her had gone out in the middle of the night, causing chaos in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion. He then quietly came back to lie down before dawn, held her in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
During the long night, some couples exchange endless sweet words with each other, while others stay alone in the empty room, feeling frustrated.
At the Lu Mansion, Xu Qingwan took a bath and smoked incense early, changed into a thin gauze dress, and asked the maid to boil the secret medicine and keep it warm.
She was fully prepared and waited until three o'clock in the morning with her chin in her hand, but Lu Yu still didn't come home.
When she thought about how Lu Yu had been away from home for several months and finally came back, but stayed in the house of that bitch Lin Buqiu on his first night, she felt a surge of anger in her heart that she couldn't suppress.
Until the maid couldn't bear it anymore and came to ask if the medicine needed to be kept warm.
Xu Qingwan suddenly felt insulted and humiliated.
She slapped the maidservant several times, took off her gauze dress and changed into casual clothes, rushed into Lu Yu's study, and tore up all the scrolls and ancient books that he loved so much, and only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lu Yu was sleeping soundly with Lin Buqiu in his arms, completely unaware of what had happened in his study.
During the day, he took Wu Wei to the imperial prison, and handed over his confession and evidence to the Ministry of Justice. He finally put his mind at ease after worrying about his crime all the way.
As soon as he went out, he learned that Lin Buqiu was frightened, and rushed to see her without stopping.
Lin Buqiu was so scared that she was shaking, her eyes were red from crying, but she still pretended to be fine and advised Lu Yu to go back and accompany his sister first, so as not to let any rift arise between the couple.
After hearing this, Lu Yu thought of Xu Qingwan's domineering face and didn't want to go back home even more. He immediately decided to stay at her place.
When the two meet again after a long separation, it is natural that they can't help but feel warm.
Lin Buqiu looked frightened on the surface, but he felt indescribably happy in his heart.
