After getting married, she spent every night alone in her room; when she asked for a divorce, he kne

He moved with lightning speed, and by the time Liu Yuansheng reacted, there was already someone beside her. Liu Yuansheng was stunned, and Ying'er was even more at a loss. Just as she was pondering whether to add a quilt for Xiao Jinghan or pull him off Liu Yuansheng's bed, Granny Tian pushed open the door and helped the old lady in.

"You're still awake? That's good. I really can't rest easy if I don't come and check on you."

The old lady, leaning on her cane and supported by Granny Tian, ​​walked slowly, each step fraught with difficulty. Seeing this, Xiao Jinghan said, "Your legs aren't strong enough; why did you make this trip in the middle of the night?"

As she spoke, she tried to take the opportunity to leave Liu Yuansheng's bed.

The old lady quickly pressed Xiao Jinghan down, saying, "You lie down, I came to see Yuan Sheng, not to see you."

The old lady sat down on the round stool in front of the bed, smiling as she looked at Liu Yuansheng, and then glanced at Xiao Jinghan beside her. "Yuansheng, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"

Liu Yuansheng was stiff all over; he was far from being in good condition.

The canopy bed was spacious, and the brocade quilt was soft, but at this moment she felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles, because there was another person beside her.

Even though Xiao Jinghan was fully clothed and his clothes weren't touching her body, she could still clearly feel the aura emanating from a young and strong man, along with a faint scent of cedar.

Xiao Jinghan had long limbs, and his long legs were faintly visible under the brocade quilt. Even though he had his arms crossed, his elbows and shoulders would still touch her, bringing a strange ticklish sensation.

Liu Yuansheng felt slightly uncomfortable, so she turned to the side and quietly looked at the old lady, pointing to her own neck and then to the old lady's legs.

The old lady already knew about Liu Yuansheng's loss of voice. It was because of this that she couldn't sleep, which is why she endured her discomfort to come and visit Liu Yuansheng. "Grandmother's legs are an old problem, so you don't need to worry about them. But your voice..."

The old lady sighed sadly, "Child, why have you suffered so much misfortune..."

The words "misfortune and hardship" struck Liu Yuansheng's heart like a boulder. Master Jing'an had said more than once that she was full of misfortunes and her fate was full of twists and turns.

She chuckled self-deprecatingly, pointed to her neck, and shook her head to indicate to the old lady that her throat was fine.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find someone to heal your voice so you can speak again." The old lady solemnly promised, then glanced at Xiao Jinghan, who was pretending to doze off, "You wretched child, you should also pay more attention to this matter."

"Grandmother, I understand." Xiao Jinghan lowered his hand, his arm naturally brushing against Liu Yuansheng's shoulder. Liu Yuansheng stiffened instantly, but Xiao Jinghan said as if nothing had happened, "Coming over so late to give you these instructions, you really know how to keep things going. Go back to sleep!"

"If I wasn't worried about you, would I have made this trip?" The old lady glared at Xiao Jinghan, then saw him lying lazily next to Liu Yuansheng, looking very intimate with her. She forced a smile and said, "Alright, I'm going back now. You two should go to sleep early."

After saying that, she added to Xiao Jinghan with some concern, "She's not feeling well, so don't bother her."

"I understand, Grandmother. You should go now."

The old lady snorted, patted Liu Yuansheng's hand, and then slowly left.

Stepping into the courtyard, the old lady finally managed to smile, saying, "They say seeing is believing, and that's absolutely true."

Recalling the scene of the two lying neck to neck, she said with great satisfaction, "Everyone outside says that Han'er and Yuansheng are not close, but I think they are very affectionate! Look at Han'er, clinging to Yuansheng like a leech."

Granny Tian supported the old lady's arm, hesitating to speak. She looked around and finally pointed to the east wing, saying, "Old lady, look, there are still candles lit in the east wing."

"Oh?"

The old lady craned her neck to look into the east wing and saw that there were indeed candles burning inside and bedding spread out on the bed. She nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmm, this child is quite sensible. He knows that Yuansheng is pregnant and it is inconvenient for them to sleep in the same room, so he moved to the east wing to sleep."

After speaking, he solemnly instructed Granny Tian, ​​"Send someone to keep an eye on Chenxiang Courtyard, don't let anyone with ulterior motives take advantage of the situation. As long as I live, I will never allow any other woman to get close to Han'er!"

Granny Tian replied with a complicated expression, "Yes, Madam."

The sound of the courtyard gate closing intermittently drifted into the bedroom.

Liu Yuansheng, who had been waiting for the old lady to leave, breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Xiao Jinghan beside her.

Xiao Jinghan lay casually on the bed, his eyes half-closed, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

Seeing her look over, he smiled and said, "Grandmother has left, hasn't she?"

Liu Yuansheng blinked.

"She's such a troublemaker, forcing me to put on this show so late at night instead of sleeping." Xiao Jinghan shifted in the warm blankets and accidentally bumped into Liu Yuansheng's leg.

Liu Yuansheng sat up straight immediately, quickly pulled her legs back, and looked at Xiao Jinghan with a cold and indifferent gaze.

Xiao Jinghan paused slightly, though only for a moment, but he still felt the warmth and alluring fragrance emanating from Liu Yuansheng.

He looked at Liu Yuansheng and saw that she was looking at him with a hint of reproach in her eyes. He smiled to himself and said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you. I'll leave now."

He took a long stride, intending to step over Liu Yuansheng, but Liu Yuansheng was startled by his action and instinctively covered her face, shrinking into the quilt.

The brocade quilt was smooth and silky. As she moved, she inadvertently pulled on Xiao Jinghan, who was trying to step over her. Fortunately, Xiao Jinghan reacted quickly. The moment he was pulled down, he quickly braced his hands on either side of Liu Yuansheng's body to prevent himself from falling on top of her.

However, the situation is not much better now.

Xiao Jinghan lifted his eyelids, his eyes landing on Liu Yuansheng's smooth forehead. Looking further down, he saw a pair of cool, willow-leaf eyebrows and a pair of gentle, captivating, and affectionate eyes.

His gaze slid from her pert, delicate nose to her thin, moist, red lips, which were being gently bitten by her pearly teeth.

Xiao Jinghan stared at those red lips, his throat involuntarily bobbing.

He remembered her lips.

It's very soft and cool.

Right now, he was only half an inch away from those lips, and he could easily pluck them with just a slight tilt of his head.

But he didn't do that.

Because she was trembling.

Xiao Jinghan slowly lifted his eyelids, looked into Liu Yuansheng's trembling eyes due to nervousness, and said, "Be good, don't move."

Liu Yuansheng didn't move at all.

She never expected that a subconscious action would almost cause Xiao Jinghan to fall on her.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and managed to hold himself up.

Even so, his lower body was still firmly pressed against her, and through the thin quilt, she could even feel Xiao Jinghan's blood surging.

Their breaths mingled. They were so close that she could see his distinct, thick, long eyelashes, and her pale face was reflected in his brown eyes.

Liu Yuansheng's throat grew increasingly dry and painful. Just when she could barely breathe, Xiao Jinghan suddenly leaned down, swallowing up the last bit of distance between them...
