Chapter 148

Feng Qingyi stared at him blankly, "Are you alright? You seem to be in a bad mood."

"Don't worry, Qingqing. I'm fine." With you by my side, my mood has already improved.

"There's really nothing between Song Jingyuan and me. He just gave me a ride today. Don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to hide it from you, I was just afraid you might overthink it."

She felt that they should be honest with each other in their relationship. She should explain things clearly to him. She didn't want any misunderstandings between them.

Qin Yuchuan patted Feng Qingyi's head, "I know. I'm just angry at myself for not being able to accompany you properly, leaving you to carry such heavy things alone."

"You have your own responsibilities, and they're important matters of state. I understand."

Looking at the obedient girl in front of him, Qin Yuchuan held her hand, "Having you as my companion in this life is my greatest fortune."

"I can't be by your side like others can. These days I haven't even had time to check your messages. Have you been upset with me?"

Although she could understand his situation, she couldn't deny occasionally envying other couples who could be together.

Over the past month, she had thought about many things. When her messages went unanswered, she considered not sending any more.

But then she consoled herself, believing he wasn't unwilling to reply, just too busy. She should understand him.

Once he finished fighting in the war, they should be able to spend time together like a normal couple.

She was still young, and it was a time when she should be working hard too. Using this period to enrich herself was also a very meaningful thing to do.

Life shouldn't always revolve around romance. With a broader perspective, everything would be different.

"Of course I've been upset, but since I chose you, I should accept these things. You're a great general serving the country and the people, the kind of person I've always admired."

"I can't help you much, all I can do is live well and ensure you don't have to worry about me."

Qin Yuchuan wrapped his arm around Feng Qingyi's waist, "Qingqing, thank you."

How fortunate he was to have such a sensible and understanding girl.

Looking at the shining eyes of the girl in his arms, Qin Yuchuan leaned down and captured her lips.

This kiss was unlike the previous gentle ones, filled with a strong sense of possession, like an impending storm, giving her no chance to resist.

After the kiss, Qin Yuchuan looked at Feng Qingyi's blushing face and chuckled, "Qingqing, you're so adorable."Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

"...It's already late. I'm going to bed. What about you?"

Feng Qingyi escaped from his embrace and stood up, preparing to head to the bedroom.

Qin Yuchuan: "Then I'll accompany Qingqing to sleep."

"Be good, sleep."

Feng Qingyi, resting her head on Qin Yuchuan's arm and inhaling his scent, snuggled closer to him.

Feeling her movement, Qin Yuchuan spoke up.

"Aren't you worried about what I might do to you today?"

On other days, she would keep her distance, but today she seemed different.

"Would you?" Feng Qingyi asked in return.

Qin Yuchuan turned on his side, pinning Feng Qingyi beneath him, "What do you think?"

Feng Qingyi didn't push him away, "...Girls have a few days each month, I think in ancient times you called it 'moon time', so even if you wanted to do something today, you couldn't."

Hearing Feng Qingyi's words, Qin Yuchuan's face reddened, a rare occurrence.

How could a girl speak so openly about such matters with him?

"So you're feeling invincible?"

Feng Qingyi laughed, "Yes, I am. Don't press on me, I'm uncomfortable."

Qin Yuchuan rolled back, resuming their previous position.

Feng Qingyi suddenly thought of something, "But what if you don't wake up when it's time? Would you be transported back dressed like this?"

"If Yan Yang and the others see you like this, they'll definitely get the wrong idea."

Qin Yuchuan: "Wasn't it you who said we should sleep? Now you keep talking. Aren't you tired?"

"My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, I can't sleep," Feng Qingyi said softly.

Qin Yuchuan asked worriedly, "Does it hurt a lot? I'll take you to see a doctor."

Feng Qingyi shook her head, "No need, it's just a bit uncomfortable. It's normal."

"Let me warm you up," Qin Yuchuan said as he placed his hand on Feng Qingyi's lower abdomen, the fabric of her nightgown between them.

Feng Qingyi wasn't sure what he was doing, but she felt a growing warmth spreading across her belly.

The mild pain she had been experiencing gradually dissipated, replaced by a soothing, all-encompassing warmth throughout her body.

Drowsiness overcame her, and she drifted off to sleep in Qin Yuchuan's embrace.

Once he was certain she was asleep, Qin Yuchuan withdrew his hand and settled down beside her, holding her close as he too succumbed to slumber.
