Chapter 233 Doing More Than Saying
The carriage soon stopped at the Marquis of Jing'an's residence.
Wen Jiayue stepped down from the carriage, carrying the sleeping Zhaozhao as she ascended the steps.
Shen Fuhan reached out his hand: "Let me hug you."
Wen Jiayue shook her head, insisting on doing it herself.
Shen Fuhan did not insist, withdrew his hand, and watched carefully from the side.
Stepping onto the last step, the two crossed the threshold and entered the mansion.
Suddenly, a person jumped out from behind the door and called out, "Big brother and sister-in-law, you're back!"
Wen Jiayue was startled: "Third Sister, why aren't you asleep?"
"It was all to wait for you," Shen Funian observed her expression, "How was your trip out this time?"
Wen Jiayue forced a smile: "It's fine."
It would have been better if I hadn't met Li Zhilan.
Perhaps because Zhaozhao was there, Shen Fuhan did not walk quickly this time. He followed his daughter's instructions completely, going wherever she asked, and was extremely obedient.
If Shen Fuhan had done the same thing in town, she wouldn't have been so resistant.
Thanks to Zhao Zhao, she was able to witness Shen Fuhan's relaxed side.
Shen Funian thought to herself that things were going badly. Wen Jiayue's expression didn't look happy at all, so it seemed that she had messed things up again.
She couldn't help but glare at Shen Fuhan, "You can't even seize the opportunity I gave you."
Shen Fuhan frowned: "Third sister, why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Funian quickly put on a fake smile: "How could I see you? It's too dark, you must have mistaken me for someone else."
Seeing that Wen Jiayue had already left, Shen Funian quickly grabbed her elder brother.
Shen Fuhan's expression was displeased: "What are you doing?"
"Brother, you're not going to walk like crazy again this time when we go out, are you?"
"No."
Shen Funian was stunned. Had her older brother finally figured it out this time?
But that wasn't the point. She quickly asked, "But I can tell my sister-in-law isn't happy. What's wrong?"
“We met the Princess…” Shen Fuhan paused, “and then Zhaozhao cried, so we came back.”
Shen Funian didn't think much of it: "So it was because Zhaozhao cried. It seems I'll have to let the two of you go out alone next time."
Shen Fuhan continued walking forward: "I'm going to the Princess's residence tomorrow, so you and Yao'er don't need to come."
Shen Funian glared at her: "Aren't you and the Princess getting a little too close? You see each other every other day."
“This is not something I can refuse,” Shen Fuhan glanced at her, “I’m leaving now.”
Wen Jiayue walked slowly, and it didn't take long for him to catch up with her.
The two walked side by side toward the main courtyard.
Wen Jiayue carried Zhaozhao directly to the bedroom. Shen Fuhan hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.
The two washed and dressed, and blew out the lamps.
Wen Jiayue closed her eyes, and the image of Zhao Zhao's stiff and cold body suddenly appeared in her mind.
She held Zhao Zhao's warm body, but it was still to no avail.
The scene will repeat itself as long as you close your eyes.
She could only hold Zhaozhao tighter in order to gain more security.
"Loosen your grip a bit, it will hurt Zhaozhao."
Shen Fuhan suddenly spoke, grasping her hand that was gripping him even tighter.
Wen Jiayue paused for a moment before realizing that Zhao Zhao was struggling, kicking her legs and whimpering.
She quickly released her daughter, and in an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. She had almost hurt Zhao Zhao.
"Zhaozhao, is anything bothering you?"
Fortunately, Zhao Zhao had already fallen asleep again, smacking her lips a couple of times before drifting off to sleep even more soundly.
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Shen Fuhan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Jiayue hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
“When the eldest princess holds Zhao Zhao, I always feel a little uncomfortable.”
She didn't want to say it originally, but it's good to say it now, so that Shen Fuhan will know what she's thinking.
If Zhaozhao were to meet the Princess again in the future, it would be easy to explain if she gave her a cold look.
Shen Fuhan asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"
“It’s my intuition,” Wen Jiayue said. “I feel that the Princess is also hostile towards Zhaozhao, just like she is towards me.”
“Perhaps,” Shen Fuhan said slowly, “In that case, it would be best to see each other less often in the future.”
Seeing that he agreed so easily, Wen Jiayue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Fuhan said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."
Wen Jiayue hummed in agreement, closed her eyes, but the scene she least wanted to see still floated into her mind.
She sighed in frustration. She was exhausted, but she didn't dare to sleep.
How to fall asleep quickly...
A thought gradually surfaced in her mind, but she suppressed it fiercely.
If you don't want to sleep, then don't. You'll fall asleep when you can't hold on any longer.
She stared at the top of the tent for a moment, then Shen Fuhan suddenly spoke.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Wen Jiayue asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
“Your breathing is sometimes light and sometimes heavy,” Shen Fuhan explained, “It’s hard not to notice.”
Wen Jiayue bit her lip, mustered her courage, and asked softly, "Husband, are you sleepy?"
Shen Fuhan's breath hitched. Husband?
He looked at her, his eyes filled with such deep, dark light that they seemed to engulf her.
Wen Jiayue avoided his gaze and stammered, "Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."
She must be crazy to think of using this method to help her sleep.
Shen Fuhan sat up without saying a word and put Zhaozhao into the cradle.
After confirming that his daughter was still sleeping soundly, he drew the mosquito net.
Shen Fuhan hugged Wen Jiayue tightly and asked in a low voice, "Do you want it?"
Wen Jiayue subconsciously retorted, "I didn't..."
She was actually a little nervous. In both her lives combined, this was the first time she had brought up this matter on her own initiative, and she couldn't help but feel flustered.
Shen Fuhan didn't give her a chance to back out and loosened the ties.
"Tonight is a full moon night, and spending this wonderful evening together is a truly delightful thing."
Wen Jiayue's face turned completely red, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Don't say anything more."
“Okay,” he said, pressing down, “no talk, just do.”
For some reason, Wen Jiayue felt that he was unusually excited tonight, which made her unable to resist.
In her drowsy state, she opened her hazy eyes and looked down at Shen Fuhan.
...Looking down?
She was terrified and hurriedly tried to get down, but Shen Fuhan groaned and tightened his arms around her waist.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move."
Wen Jiayue felt a little ashamed, and her voice trembled with a hint of sobs: "I don't want to..."
Shen Fuhan pulled her down, and Wen Jiayue thought he had softened and was about to leave, but he kissed her lips.
"Keep your voice down, Zhaozhao is still here."
Wen Jiayue had no way to stop it.
In a daze, she felt as if she had turned into a light, floating flower, not knowing where she was going, only knowing that she could never land on the ground.
Even when she was exhausted, she was carried by the wind, swaying and bobbing.
Before Wen Jiayue fell into a deep sleep, she bit Shen Fuhan with all her might.
Shen Fuhan hissed and looked at the teeth marks on the back of his hand.
It looks like it won't subside for another two or three days.
He chuckled softly and hugged her tightly.
