Then she called in the maid from outside to help Yining dress up. Yining was pressed on the dressing stool, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No need to comb my hair again. No need for makeup! I just need to wash my face."
It was already evening, but when I went to see him, his hair was neatly tied and his makeup was exquisite.
I just... don't know how to put it.
Xu looked at Luo Yining with regret as she had almost nothing to change into when she went out. She could only take off a sea pearl gold hairpin from her hair and put it on Yining's head.
Yining felt that she had some confidence, so she and Xu Xu supported Old Madam Wei and went to the flower hall.
The closer she got to the hall, the more nervous she became. Her previous mental intuition vanished, and her heart felt like it was about to burst out of her throat. She had to suppress it, so she forced herself to appear calm.
Slowly approaching the flower hall, she finally saw that person, finally saw that person.
Luo Shenyuan, draped in a long cloak, sat upright on a throne, flanked by his attendants. He had indeed been offered a cup of tea, but he didn't seem to drink it. The steamy vapors drifted into wisps, gradually dissipating under the dim yellow candlelight. Outside, the snowy ground glowed dimly, blending with the vast, deep blue sky.
He also slowly raised his head and met her gaze.
Luo Yining immediately avoided him, never noticing his expression. But she couldn't describe the feeling, as if he were staring at her so intently that her legs felt weak. Yining whispered, "Third Brother," but she didn't see him nod in response.
Old Madam Wei took Yi Ning over and sat down, smiling coldly, "It's rare for the Lord to come here."
Luo Shenyuan stood up, walked a few steps in front of them, and said gently with a bow, "Grandmother, you don't have to call me Grand Master. Just call me Shenyuan. I'm here to take Yining back home. It's been a while since she's been home."
Yining saw the spotless uppers of his boots and the rhinoceros-shaped pattern on his leather straps. His voice was still deep and magnetic.
Old Mrs. Wei sighed, "It's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you, but Yi Ning is recuperating alone in Baoding, and you didn't even bother to care. You haven't even seen the child since he was born. How can you be a father?"
Luo Shenyuan paused for a long time this time, looking straight at Luo Yining, and continued in a calm tone: "It's my fault that I didn't take care of her. I was busy with court affairs and couldn't get away some time ago. I'm here to take her back and fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and father." There was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Luo Yining looked up this time and realized that he didn't care about anything else. He was just staring at her!
"Yining..." Old Mrs. Wei looked at her.
Luo Yining sighed secretly. Never mind. He had to ask for clarification. "Grandma, it's getting late today. Let's let Third Brother stay here first."
Mrs. Wei agreed and nodded, saying, "Then I'll arrange a wing room. Bao'er is asleep now, so you can go see him if you want. But it's better to go tomorrow morning. It will be troublesome to wake the child up if he wakes up."
"Don't worry, kid. I'll stay here tonight." Luo Shenyuan said calmly, "But you don't have to arrange a room for me. Yining and I can just share a room."
He looked at her and asked with a smile, "Is that right, Meimei?" He pronounced the last two words very lightly.
Normally, at her parents' house, husbands and wives slept in separate beds. But perhaps they needed to have a good talk now. Her son-in-law had been indifferent to Yi Ning before, and perhaps this would improve things. As long as the couple was harmonious, rules didn't matter.
Old Mrs. Wei said, "That's fine. Yining, your third brother can sleep in the same room with you, so I don't have to make arrangements anymore." After saying that, she secretly signaled Yining to seize the opportunity.
Luo Yining secretly took a deep breath, then she stood up and said with a smile, "That's OK." She added, "Third brother, come with me."
It's time to go to bed now. He has been tired from the journey and should rest first.
Luo Shenyuan nodded and followed her through the dark corridor. Yi Ning felt that he had been walking far behind her, but he was getting closer and closer, almost bumping into her chest, and his footsteps were also very close. It seemed that he could reach out and hug her.
She quickened her pace and walked ahead, deliberately keeping a distance. The maid guarding the door bowed when she saw her. She had just opened the door and wanted to ask the maid to fetch some water, but Luo Shenyuan said first, "No need, everyone leave." Yi Ning was about to say something, but he held her down with one hand, and before she could react, the door was closed!
He casually stretched out his hand and covered it, and the lights in the room suddenly went out.
It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. Yining actually felt a little scared. She retreated in the house, but was immediately caught by him. Then she tripped and hit the soft quilt. Suddenly, a hot and heavy body pressed down on her. The breath of the two people was entangled, and his breath was more aggressive. Luo Yining struggled for a while, and found herself trapped in the quilt and unable to move! "Third brother, what are you doing?"
His voice was cold yet brimming with passion as he whispered softly, "Meimei, long time no see. Do you still remember your husband?"
He was so close to her that Yi Ning's whole body was already weak. His voice was so magnetic and close that even the back of her feet felt numb.
