Chapter 74 Absolute Loyalty in Marriage
Shi Yin froze.
He remained frozen in place for a long moment, as if petrified.
The person lying on her neck didn't make any more noises, so she slowly lowered her eyes and reached out to push him slightly. He still had his eyes closed and showed no intention of waking up.
Is he talking in his sleep?
Shi Yin patted his cheek lightly and called out tentatively, "Han Zhan?"
Called a few times.
Still no response.
The housekeeper rushed in from outside, not even having time to put down what he was holding, and said hurriedly: "Madam, the master has fallen asleep and can't be woken up."
"What?"
"I added sleeping herbs to the ginger and jujube tea I made for my husband. I was planning to clean up the kitchen and come help him upstairs, but I didn't expect you to come down."
Shi Yin nodded.
Together with the housekeeper, he helped the man to the study.
After placing Han Zhan safely on the bed, Shi Yin covered him with the quilt. He slept soundly, his breathing long and drawn out, which made Shi Yin curious. What was that herbal sleeping aid? It was so effective that he didn't wake up even after being moved from the first floor to the second.
She always suffers from insomnia at night.
Maybe drinking some of this herbal remedy will help you sleep longer?
"Uncle Han, do you still have those herbs that help with sleeping?"
"some."
"Can I drink?"
"Madam, you——"
"I'm afraid of the cold. Since winter came, I've had a poor appetite and sleep."
"I'll cook you a bowl tomorrow night," the housekeeper agreed, then thought of something and said, "Madam, sometimes the master doesn't like what he says. Please don't take it personally."
Shi Yin frowned.
I don't quite understand what the butler means.
To be honest, Han Zhan was indeed quite noisy, and listening to his chatter for a long time would make one's ears a little noisy, but Shi Yin never felt annoyed. At most, she would use snow cake to block his mouth, which was just a joke, not an accusation.
"As someone in the industry, I've also heard about you and the eldest son of the Song family," the housekeeper said honestly. "You and Mr. Song are married, and everyone would have possessiveness and jealousy. Mr. Song seems generous and tolerant, but after all, he's your husband, living under the same roof with you, so it's inevitable that he'd develop some immature feelings."
After hearing this, Shi Yin understood a little.
While making snow cake in the afternoon, he walked around her and talked a lot, and finally turned to the topic of Song Sinian and Shi Qinghe's wedding at the beginning of next month, and said that he had ordered an evening dress for her.
She was very nervous at the time.
All his attention was focused on his battered arms.
No time to pay attention to his words.
I didn't expect that he was testing me secretly.
Thinking back to what he had said in his muttering when he hugged her in the living room ten minutes ago, asking her not to be angry with him, Shi Yin quickly figured it out. Her pale face and haggard demeanor due to illness showed, in Han Zhan's view, that she was hurt by love, and that he had deliberately mentioned Song Sinian to irritate her.
So he set off fireworks.
Let the housekeeper carry the pink deer upstairs to send her off.
Even opened a soft apology.
I just felt that I had made her sad and wanted to make amends.
At this moment, Shi Yin's heart, which was as dead as dead water, seemed to be suddenly hit by something. She lowered her eyes and looked at Han Zhan's handsome face who was sleeping soundly. This bully who was idle and lazy in the circle, who was called a heartless and selfish son by Ms. Bai (Han's mother), was actually kinder than anyone else.
Protective and considerate.
Gentle and delicate.
Even though he thought that she was sad because of Song Sinian, he still tried his best to make her happy. He had an extremely good temper. If the roles were reversed, Shi Yin would not be able to do the same as him.
…
The next day.
Han Zhan slept until noon.
When I woke up, it was already bright outside the window.
The week abroad was too busy, and I had to squeeze in time to catch the flight back to Beijing. I also drank the ginger soup that Uncle Han added with calming herbs. He was in a deep sleep, the kind that couldn't be woken up even at level 18 noise.
but.
He had a dream last night.
I dreamed of Shi Yin.
It would be harder than climbing to the sky to get the Second Young Master Han to apologize and admit his mistakes in real life. But in his dream, he could let go of all his pride and ego, say sorry to her, and never use her sorrow to provoke her again.
This apology worked quite well in the dream.
Shi Yin stayed with him for a long time, tucking him in the quilt and wiping his face. Although he was too sleepy to open his eyes, his body could feel her approaching.
Han Zhan threw back the quilt and got out of bed.
Washed in cold water.
He changed into a new bathrobe and walked out. As he took his next step, Shi Yin's figure suddenly appeared in his sight. She pushed the door open, holding a cup of warm milk. She glanced at him and said softly, "Uncle Han has prepared lunch. Come downstairs after you wash up. I've heated up the milk. Drink a few sips to fill your stomach. You've slept too long."
Han Zhan stood there in a daze for a few seconds.
His dark eyes fixed on the woman not far away, and he looked her over several times.
This floral homewear.
She seemed to be wearing the same outfit in my dream last night.
Same set?
Not only can he guess the color and style of the clothes she wears in real life, but also in her dreams?
Han Er didn't say anything for a long time. Shi Yin, who had just put down the milk cup, looked up and glanced at him. Seeing his eyes wandering on her pajamas, she didn't know what he meant. "You said my pajamas looked good last night, and you plan to say it again at noon today?"
Han Zhan: “?”
"Did you sleep too long and forget?"
"I--"
"You fell asleep on the chaise longue in the living room downstairs, and Uncle Han and I helped you up here."
Before he finished speaking.
Han Zhan's black pupils constricted.
Shi Yin took in the flash of embarrassment on his face. As if guessing his thoughts, Shi Yin imitated his usual tone, deliberately walked closer to him, and teased: "Someone was sleeping too soundly, especially pious, pulling me to apologize to me, and said in a coquettish tone that I was wrong, please don't be angry with me-"
"Where's the coquettish tone?"
"Remember?"
Han Zhan: “…”
He started coughing.
He walked towards the door with his head down and coughing.
However, Shi Yin was quicker than him and reached the door first, blocking his way. He suddenly lowered his head and met Shi Yin's raised almond-shaped eyes. In their close gaze, he saw his own evasive expression in her beautiful eyes.
Not a dream.
It really happened.
Why didn't he fall asleep last night? How did he come back to life? How could the arrogant second young master of the Han family act like a spoiled child and beg for peace in front of a little girl?
Looking at Han Er's red ears, Shi Yin raised her eyebrows, changed her tone, and said seriously: "Song Sinian and I did have a relationship. It is a past that I cannot erase. But the past has long become history. Now Song Sinian has nothing to do with me anymore, and it can't affect my mood."
"So yesterday you—"
"I've been too busy since returning to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. I'm a little tired." Shi Yin made an excuse and didn't give him a chance to speak. She added, "Han Zhan, don't worry. I'm a reasonable person. As long as we are still husband and wife, as long as this marriage continues, I will be absolutely loyal to you. I will protect you externally and care about you internally. I won't even look at other men."
Han Zhan's eyebrows twitched several times.
The corners of his lips unconsciously rose.
He immediately lowered his head, not wanting his expression to be reflected in Shi Yin's eyes. He touched his nose and said in a lukewarm voice, "You don't have to be so formal. I don't really care about this."
"I care."
“…” Han Zhan raised his eyes.
As they looked at each other, Shi Yin told him, "Han Zhan, please believe me. As long as I am your wife, I will remain steadfast to you, fearless of any hardship or storm."
