Chapter 46

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Meng Yunhan, who was lying in bed with closed eyes, opened them with a smile, also seeing the man hanging his clothes on the rope at the corner of the wall.

Especially when she saw her underwear — her face flushed with embarrassment, burning hot.

“Can’t you sleep?” After hanging up the clothes, Yun Hao closed the room door and came toward the bed, naturally sitting on the edge of the bed.

Before Meng Yunhan could answer, he added, “Is it too hot?”

It was kind of hot, but tolerable. She had gotten used to days without air conditioning or a fan.

“Not hot.”

Yun Hao grabbed a palm leaf fan from the desk and fanned Meng Yunhan. She wasn’t used to this kind of treatment.

In her reincarnation, they had only been together for a few days around their wedding. After that, it had been correspondence — with replies taking two months at a slow pace and a little more than a month at a quick pace. Consequently, over half a year, they had only exchanged a few letters.

One wrote about matters at home, another giving brief instructions to take care of the family. Rarely was the army ever mentioned.

“Ahao, don’t you want to rest?” Meng Yunhan tentatively asked. She felt somewhat tongue-tied. This man seemed to know everything but would never express it.

Yun Hao didn’t respond. He feared that once he lay down, he wouldn’t be able to control himself.

His heart was in tumult, yearning to possess her totally.

He often thought of the thrill of their wedding nights. When he missed her, he would take out her letters, smelling her lingering scent and falling asleep.

Meng Yunhan decided to ignore Yun Hao. This man was as cold as ever, despite her being his wife. Couldn’t he give her a smile? Instead, he always looked as if she owed him something. A true ice-face.

Feeling the cool breeze on her skin, Meng Yunhan gazed at Yun Hao. Putting everything else aside, Yun Hao was indeed handsome — with clearly defined features. Despite the sunburn, his skin was smoother than other men’s, lacking large pores. And his eyes were attractive.

“Go to sleep.” Yun Hao’s icy voice echoed in the pink, bubble-filled room, instantly shattering the flirtatious atmosphere.

“I can’t sleep.” She really couldn’t. Although she had been on a train for over two days, she had slept all the way back here. Even now, despite being fed and bathed, she couldn’t sleep.

“Sleep.”

“…..”

“Close your eyes.”

“……”

Meng Yunhan obediently closed her eyes.

Feeling her hand enveloped by his large, warm hand, Meng Yunhan knew this man was ‘smilingly sullen’.

She had spent a long time searching for the right words to describe him.

Now, without a doubt, he treated her well.

And she was learning how to be a good daughter-in-law. Because of guilt, she wanted to treat Yun Hao well, too.

Looking at her in this pink coarse cloth dress, Yun Hao realized how good she looked in it.

Meng Yunhan, lulled by the cool breeze, drifted off to sleep again. The next time she woke up, there was an aluminum lunch box on the desk.

“Awake?”

Yun Hao was the first to notice that Meng Yunhan had woken up, and his gaze drifted over to her.

Rising from bed, Meng Yunhan was somewhat in a daze.

With each awakening, Meng Yunhan felt she was dreaming, hence her befuddlement.

“Ahao, I fell asleep again.” Again, she had unabashedly slept by his side.
