Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 51 Sudden Tenderness

This voice is - Nangong?
I opened my eyes.

In front of him was a dilapidated wooden bed, which still seemed to emit a faint musty smell, and Ling Shaoyang was sitting by the bed, and when he heard Nangong's teasing behind him, he said lightly: "This joke is not funny."

Nangong who was standing behind him made a grimace and stepped aside.

Only then did I see clearly that this was a simple hut with nothing but a bed and a table.

What is this place?
Ling Shaoyang leaned down to look at me, and said softly, "Is it better?"

"..."

"Hand, does it still hurt?"

"..."

I suspect that I haven't woken up from the dream, otherwise - how could he be so gentle to me?
Seeing my cautious, even somewhat wary expression, Nangong on the side laughed again: "My lord, it looks like you have such a gentle and considerate face, you really don't have the essence of it."

Ling Shaoyang was cold and didn't speak. At this time, a little eunuch came in through the door, and walked to the bed with a bowl of steaming porridge. I saw that it was the child who was almost killed by Ling Shaoyang. He was respectful at the moment. She looked at me with concern and gratitude in her eyes.

"Your Highness, let's eat something."

"Yeah." I smiled, and just about to get up, I saw Ling Shaoyang took the bowl and said coldly: "Everyone go out."

Nangong even had a suppressed smile on his face, turned around and walked out with the little eunuch who was at a loss.

In the room, only Ling Shaoyang and I were left.

When it came time to face him alone, I became nervous again, not because I was afraid, but——his insult and abuse hurt me too much these days. Even if this moment is as gentle as water, who knows what will happen next moment? It will become a deep injury.

Seeing him reaching out to me, I subconsciously closed my eyes: "No—"

That strong arm suddenly embraced my waist, and with a little force, hugged me up.

I was stunned for a moment, and when I opened my eyes, I found that my cheek was pressed against his chest, and I seemed to be able to feel the hot body temperature and the sound of a strong heartbeat through a layer of warm clothes.

He is-

Being hugged by him and sitting on the head of the bed, I was still in shock and completely unable to recover. He had already scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to my mouth.

"eat."

Now I suddenly feel that maybe it would be better if he said some hurtful things, at least I was always on guard when he was hurting people, but now, I'm just afraid that I can't guard against the sudden hurt.

This feeling is even more frightening.

So, I said softly: "I, I will do it myself."

"No need," he said lightly, "you can't move."

What?I looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly realized that I really couldn't move, my arms on both sides seemed to be dismantled, numb and weak, and I could barely move my fingertips.

"You are on the boat——, and your physical strength is overdrawn."

He lowered his head and stirred the hot porridge with a spoon, his slender eyelashes covered a pair of deep eyes, as if there was something flickering, then he raised his head and looked straight into my eyes.

"Before, I never believed it."

"……what?"

The corners of his mouth curved slightly.

My eyes widened all of a sudden—that is, a smile?

He smiled at me?

The next moment, he still scooped up a spoonful of porridge, brought it to the corner of my mouth, and said softly, "Eat."
