Daily Life of a Powerful Official Supporting His Wife

Chapter 38

The morning light shines on the hollow carved door, and a shallow layer of light is reflected in the window paper as thin as a cicada's wing, lighting up the floor tiles in the house and revealing a yellow glow.

Xie Junling woke up first. Just as he was about to move, he saw Lu Baoer clutching his clothes tightly like a kitten, with her limbs wrapped around him like an octopus, and he couldn't get rid of her no matter what.

Lu Baoer had kicked her own layer of bedding into the air without knowing it. Now a large piece of white skin on her arm was exposed. It felt cold to the touch, indicating that she was severely frozen.

He sighed deeply, unbuttoned his shirt, and let Lu Baoer hold it. This way he could leave without disturbing Lu Baoer's sleep.

Xie Junling recalled an interesting story: there was a cat lover whose favorite cat was sleeping beside him. The man had something urgent to do and could not bear to disturb the cat, so he cut off his robe and left, leaving the corner of his robe that the cat was holding.

Wouldn't Xie Junling also become a cat lover? Going this far for Lu Baoer was considered partial to her.

The servant outside knew the time when Xie Junling woke up. Seeing his bare chest, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Master? You..."

Xie Junling braved the chilly wind and took the clean clothes offered by the servants, letting others help him put them on. After dressing, washing, and eating, Xie Junling got into his sedan chair as usual and headed for the Hanlin Academy.

When Lu Baoer woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She woke up slowly and saw that she was holding a white lingerie in her hand. Looking at the size, wasn't it Xie Junling's?

Her face flushed crimson. Liu Xiang had heard the noise and entered the inner room. Feeling guilty, Lu Baoer hid her underwear behind the pillow. It was normal for a couple to undress, but Lu Baoer felt extremely embarrassed. It seemed like she and Xie Junling weren't that close yet, were they?

On weekdays, when lying on the couch, Xie Junling was always dressed neatly, with his collar and lapels always tightly tied with belts, never revealing his strong chest.

Why did she suddenly take off her clothes last night? Lu Baoer was puzzled, but then she thought about it and realized that maybe she was too charming and it was very likely that Xie Junling couldn't control himself for a while. It was all because she was too beautiful.

Thinking of this, Lu Baoer no longer blamed Xie Junling. It was extremely rare for an ordinary man to sleep on the same bed with her and be as upright and honest as Xie Junling. After all, she was too beautiful.

At this time, the very pretty Lu Bao'er was looking curiously at the breakfast table in the flower hall and asked the old nanny, "Why is there a Jade Face Cake in the mansion?"

The old nanny pursed her lips and smiled, "Some time ago, I saw that the Madam liked to eat this cake, so I asked the cook to make it. But the master also asked for it. When the cook Ye saw that the master and the servants were urging her to make this sweet cake, didn't she steam it as quickly as possible?"

When Lu Baoer heard the old nanny say that Xie Junling had bothered Madam Ye for her own pleasure, she felt delighted. She took a bite of the soft Jade Face Cake and thought to herself, "Since my husband cares so much about me, I will be magnanimous and not mind him stripping and flirting with me at night!"

Of course, Xie Junling, who was working in the Hanlin Academy at the time, had no idea about this. He was still wondering if Lu Baoer would burst into tears of gratitude if she knew that he took off his clothes so as not to disturb her sleep, and would throw herself into his arms and shout that her husband was the best and the best in Kyoto.

Well, it is obvious that these are just Xie Junling’s wishful thinking and are not worthy of being made public.
