Chapter 160

He stood by the bed and waited for her to finish drinking the water. He then reached out and picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. The maids had already prepared hot water in the bathtub.

Knowing that the girl in his arms was shy and might not be willing to bathe together, Pei Yuqing put her into the water and then stepped out.

After Xie Wan Ning finished her bath, she stepped on the floor. Her two thin legs felt a little weak, but she didn't want the maids to see her in this state, so she forced herself to walk out of the bathroom.

Pei Yuqing was waiting at the door. He was stunned for a moment when he saw her trying to get out by leaning against the wall. Then he picked her up and said, "Why are you trying so hard? Why don't you call me in?"

Inside the house, the bedding on the bed had been replaced with new ones, and the windows had been opened. The night breeze washed away a certain smell in the air, and except for her appearance of a weak chicken who could not bear it, the room had returned to normal.

Seeing that this man was in high spirits, and thinking of his own weak legs, Xie Wan Ning lowered his head silently, feeling secretly indignant.

Knowing that he had gone too far and made the little girl a little angry, Pei Yuqing rubbed her waist very attentively, coaxing the person in his arms with a gentle and soft voice.

"Alright, be quiet." Xie Wan Ning pushed him and said, "I want to sleep."

Pei Yuqing responded to everything, held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed her, "Go to sleep."

Sure enough, after his desires were satisfied, even the most handsome man would change into a different person.

After Xie Wan Ning finished complaining in her heart, her exhausted body could no longer hold on, so she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Pei Yuqing stopped massaging the girl in his arms until her breathing became long and steady.

After a long time, he gently lifted her chin, lowered his eyes to look at the well-behaved and lovely girl with her eyes closed in his arms, and couldn't help but bent down and kissed her forehead.

After making sure she was asleep, he held her hand and felt her pulse.

On the second day, Xie Wanning slept until noon before waking up slowly.

Sensing the body next to her that was constantly transmitting warmth, she opened her eyes and met Pei Yuqing's smiling eyes, her mind a little dazed. "Are you awake?" He gathered her hair and asked gently, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Xie Wan Ning blinked, "Don't you have to go to court?"

Pei Yuqing chuckled, "Going to court is not as important as my wife."

"Slippery tongue." Xie Wan Ning didn't want to pay attention to him. She was about to get up with her hands. As if she felt something, her body suddenly stiffened and she turned to look at him, "Did you give me medicine?"

Pei Yuqing hummed, "You're injured there, you have to take medicine."

Seeing her face flushed, he said with a smile: "I was afraid that you would be embarrassed, so I took advantage of you sleeping..."

“Shut up!” Xie Wan Ning was so angry that she grabbed his neck with both hands. “It’s all your fault!”

"Well, it's all my fault." Pei Yuqing put his arm around her waist, pulled her into his arms, and said gently, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Xie Wan Ning snorted, "My whole body aches, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere."

Last night she had lost all her temper due to his torment. She even felt worse than the day they consummated their marriage.

Pei Yuqing knew what was going on and didn't even go to court, for he was afraid that the girl would feel aggrieved when she woke up and couldn't see him.

"Then don't go out today," he said softly, "I'm leaving Beijing in a few days, so you should stay at home and accompany me."

Since the beginning of spring, Xie Wan Ning couldn't stay at home and went out to play almost every day.

Hearing this, she raised her head from his arms, her eyes alert, "I can accompany you, but I can't get on the bed."

"...Okay." He agreed with difficulty.
