Not to mention that the brother and sister left Chunfeng Garden with their own thoughts, Su Nuannuan felt her eyelids heavy after she came back. Seeing Duan Tingxuan sitting in a rocking chair, rocking leisurely, his eyes closed and opened as if he was about to fall asleep, she didn't care about the wolf beside her, and lay down on the couch directly. As soon as she closed her eyes, she heard her husband across from her lazily say: "I see that you like lying on the couch very much. The fluttering gauze curtains are also charming. In autumn and winter, the midday sun shines on your body, and it is warm and comfortable. You know how to enjoy it."
"Your chair is more comfortable." Su Nuannuan snorted coldly, thinking to herself, could this bastard be eyeing this Feng Shui treasure land of mine?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Duan Tingxuan laugh and say, "You must be thinking of me as a gentleman, thinking that I want to steal your territory. Don't worry, I'm just talking. If you like this couch, there is a piece of top-quality white tiger skin in the storeroom. It was given to me by the emperor when I won the first prize in hunting that day. There are two pieces in total. The lady likes the yellow one, but the old lady doesn't want the remaining one. It's a waste if it's left there. If you like it, take it out and use it as a bed."
"Are you afraid that you won't get prickly heat when I lay tiger skin on you in the middle of summer?" Su Nuannuan rolled her eyes, thinking that it was a good thing that this guy was not born in modern times, otherwise he would definitely be the type who would give yellow chrysanthemums to girls.
"I told you to lay it in autumn and winter, but who told you to lay it now?" Duan Tingxuan said, then he opened his eyes and sat up, saying lightly: "That Xing'er, I don't think she is a docile person. If you bring her in, be careful that she makes you angry."
Su Nuannuan didn't care about this and shook her head, "Why would you make me angry? What you mean by restless is nothing more than that this girl is not the material to be a good servant, but I don't care about that. As long as she can do her job well and not be disloyal, that's enough."
Duan Tingxuan said, "I know your personality, but your Chunfeng Garden is the most relaxed one in the mansion now. The maids are laughing and joking with you, the master. This is simply a paradise for a maid like Xing'er. She is originally proud. With so many people to take care of her, especially since you, the master, have no dignity now, I am afraid that she will become more arrogant and ignorant."
"I don't think she is that kind of person. Don't worry, I will be watching the maid in my room secretly. If it is really as you said, it won't be too late to send her away then."
Hearing Su Nuannuan say this, Duan Tingxuan smiled and said, "Since you have such a mind, I am not worried anymore. I was just reminding you. Although you are not like the master, I see that the red lotus, fragrant cloud, onion and flowers in your room are all fine. I am afraid that there will be a restless one. It will ruin your harmony."
"Okay, I told you to speak. I don't even have this little trick left?" Su Nuannuan turned over impatiently: "Can you stop talking? Let me take a nap quietly? Weren't you busy outside all day and night yesterday? Aren't you sleepy?
Duan Tingxuan remained silent, but when Su Nuannuan brought up this topic, he recalled the past events, and he endured it again and again. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Who is that Lord Long?"
"You didn't let me disturb your sleep, and now you're talking again." Duan Tingxuan said with a smile, and then Su Nuannuan snorted coldly: "If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Go to sleep, I have to fry some more eggplant boxes when I get up." After that, there was no sound. After a while, his breathing became even.
Duan Tingxuan was no longer sleepy. He sat up and stared at his wife not far away. He saw her chest rising and falling slightly, which made her figure more graceful and beautiful. After looking at her for a few seconds, he stood up and slowly walked to the bed. Just as he was about to bend down to take a closer look at his wife's eyes while she was sleeping, he heard her mutter, "It's the dog days of summer. It's time to make ice cream, so I still have to make the cream."
The young marquis smiled silently, tilted his head to think for a while, suddenly sat down, and then gently lay down beside Su Nuannuan. The couch was not very wide. Fortunately, the young marquis was very good at light work. Although he could not sleep like Xiaolongnu lying on a rope, he could still do it with half of his body outside the couch.
There were footsteps outside the door, and then some maid came in. She probably saw this scene, so she quietly left after a while. Duan Tingxuan was lying next to Su Nuannuan, and all the disgust he had before disappeared. Instead, he felt a rare warmth and peace of mind, which relieved his irritability and fatigue after running around outside for a day and a night. In this comfortable feeling, the young marquis slowly fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept when I heard a scream beside me. Duan Tingxuan was so scared that he woke up suddenly. For a moment, he forgot that half of his body was still outside the couch. Besides, he felt very safe sleeping at home, so he was a little confused when he just woke up. Su Nuannuan kicked him lightly with her jade foot and he rolled off the couch.
"Tell me, why are you on this couch?" Su Nuannuan asked with gritted teeth. The fierce woman with raised eyebrows and wide eyes looked both annoying and cute to the young marquis, so the anger in his stomach disappeared. He got up angrily and muttered, "Yeah, why am I on the couch? This is really strange. I clearly fell asleep in the rocking chair. What's going on?"
Duan Tingxuan touched his head and turned around on the ground, pretending to be serious. Unfortunately, his acting skills could not be hidden from Su Nuannuan, who sneered and said, "Go on pretending. Think about it carefully, why did you come to me?"
"Nuan Nuan, don't go too far. We are husband and wife. So what if I sleep on the same bed with you?" The young marquis was also angry: How could he not eat while his wife was watching him? Moreover, he hadn't even started eating yet. They just slept next to each other for a while, which was not even an appetizer before the meal. Nuan Nuan was so persistent. It was too much, too much.
“What do you think I can do?” Su Nuannuan sat on the edge of the couch with her elbows folded, sneering, “I originally wanted to fry eggplant boxes, but now…”
"I'm suffering from sleepwalking syndrome. This... you know about it, right? I used to sleepwalk before." Duan Tingxuan shouted with his head held high. There was no other way. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The eggplant box from lunch was not left, and dinner was not settled yet. This was definitely not a good time to offend the tigress.
"That's better." Su Nuannuan would not really be so relentless just because Duan Tingxuan lay beside her. She knew very well that Duan Tingxuan was really a gentleman. He would not touch her if she didn't allow him to. Which man in a patriarchal society could tolerate such an unreasonable request? If she wasn't afraid that this guy would go too far, she wouldn't have kicked him off the bed just because he lay beside her.
He stretched himself and was about to leave the house when he heard Honglian laughing outside the door, "Why is Sister Qiu Ling here?"
Without waiting for Qiu Ling to answer, Su Nuannuan smiled through the window and asked, "What's wrong? The old lady just had an eggplant box at noon, and now she's thinking about having another snack? Can your appetite handle it?"
