Chapter 185
It was already late at night when they returned to Xinqiao Hutong, and not many people were disturbed. Only Lin Hairu, Chen and the two sisters-in-law were informed. Even if Chen heard some rumors, she would not say anything carelessly, after all, the two sons still needed the support of Luo Gelao. But Daimao and Zhenzhu, who had not seen each other for a long time, hugged her and cried. But when they saw Baoger, they all exclaimed in surprise and surrounded the little ball. How could it not be new to have a little master suddenly in the house? Zhenzhu smiled and said to Yining, "Why didn't the Third Madam tell us earlier? If we had prepared, we would have made a little tiger pillow for the little master and sewed some children's toys for him."
Everything in the room looked as if Yi Ning had just left, untouched. Naturally, there was no trace of the child.
The nurse put Bao-ge'er on the kang bed. He was a stranger there. He crawled around, surrounded by maids and servants looking at him. He couldn't see his mother and murmured in confusion.
Yi Ning, however, looked at everything around her. An indescribable feeling slowly came over her. When she left, the unfinished needlework she had placed in the small frame was still there, the needle still pinned to the embroidery frame. The wintersweet branch she had cut that morning was also quietly placed in a celadon vase on the windowsill, even in the same position. She remembered this because she disliked the vase getting in the way of her embroidery and had simply placed it on the windowsill. She drank half of her tea, and the cup was still half full.
Not moving at all means not moving at all.
A chill unique to winter nights slowly crept into her bones.
Luo Shenyuan hadn't revealed anything before he went to pick her up, but when Lin Hairu heard she'd returned, she immediately had her maids dress her in shoes, socks, and clothes, and arrived overnight. Upon seeing Yi Ning, she excitedly held her hand for a long time. Yi Ning, momentarily forgetting everything else, was startled to see Lin Hairu burst into tears and quickly tried to comfort her.
Lin Hairu said intermittently: "I thought the bed I made for you was no longer needed!"
Luo Yining said, "Why not? If I do, do you think something happened to me?"
Lin Hairu cried and laughed: "I'm not good at speaking...but it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Luo Shenyuan went to arrange matters at the mansion. When he returned, he saw the mother and daughter still talking. After not seeing each other for a year, the two women chattered as if they had endless things to say. He leaned over to drink tea and waited for a while. Seeing that they hadn't finished talking, he put on his cloak and went to the study to read the documents.
This time he looked at the documents for a long time, until the candlelight dimmed, and then he asked the servant, "What time is it?"
"Sir, it's midnight," said the servant.
Luo Shenyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, collected the book, and went back. He hadn't seen her for a while, and he felt a little anxious, even though he knew she had already returned.
His steps were so hurried that his followers could barely keep up. Seeing the candlelight in the distance, the laughter and chatter, he regained his spirits. He leaned against the doorframe, his anxiety only subsiding when he saw Luo Yining again. Luo Shenyuan loosened his grip slightly.
Yi Ning coaxed the little girl to sleep. Her soft little face rested in her arms, flushed in the firelight. She found it amusing, gently pinching the child's tiny fingers. It was so much fun. She even bit them gently, and the little girl felt a tingling sensation, kicking her feet under the covers.
Luo Shenyuan hadn't gotten used to the child yet, and he didn't feel happy seeing her with the child.
"It's too late, let's rest." Luo Shenyuan took the child out of her arms. The little girl struggled to kick her legs in her father's arms, wondering if she was dreaming. But in a moment, she was in the nurse's arms.
Luo Yining was shocked. If Baoger didn't sleep with her, he would definitely cry when he woke up in the middle of the night. She felt tired taking care of him, but there was nothing she could do. No one could comfort him.
"I won't cry. Didn't I cry last night?" Luo Shenyuan was unmoved.
Luo Yining whispered, "You were lucky last night..." But the elder has just started eating meat and is full of energy now.
The maids all left, and he took her to bed. The curtains were drawn, leaving only two candles in the room.
Luo Yining's body was as taut as a string, smooth and pliant, mirroring the aquamarine quilt embroidered with gold-thread peonies. Her slender waist and plump hips were incredibly beautiful. He pressed her down from below, breathing heavily. The tension from their struggle was sore on him. The wet swamp was still difficult to enter.
His temples were wet, probably from sweating.
Luo Yining looked at Luo Shenyuan's demeanor, his jaw, his neck, his slightly protruding Adam's apple. The sweat under the candlelight only accentuated his manly sensuality.
Luo Yining was lifted slightly by him. Her legs were trembling slightly, numb and weak. The aftereffects of last night had not yet completely subsided.
His waist sank slightly, and Luo Yining grabbed his back. After letting her adjust a little, he didn't care whether she begged for mercy or said it was too fast or too deep, and went straight in.
Yining felt her legs ache from the tension, but the man hadn't come once yet. Luckily, she'd had a child, otherwise, with his size, she wouldn't have been able to grow for three years. It was already swollen and painful. Luo Yining had already been pushed to the top of the wave once, and now, seeing him speed up, she thought it was over, but he picked her up and changed positions...
He bent down and kissed the side of her face, his breath still heavy: "Are you okay?"
"Third brother..." Luo Yining paused and asked, "I just want to ask, will every night from now on be like last night?"
"What do you think?" His voice was low, not understanding why she asked, "You are my legally married wife, so now naturally... who do you want me to be with?"
"No." Luo Yining wanted to explain to him directly, but when they moved, both of them tensed up, and Luo Yining felt very sore and swollen. Thinking about the endless days ahead, they had to discuss it. "Can we take a break sometimes, like every other day? Or every two days?"
