Bai Qianfan entered the house and sat at the makeup table to take off her hair. She roughly wiped her face, then sat by the side of the bed, listening to the sounds coming from outside the door.
She understood in her heart that Morong Gan treating him like this was probably because of what happened last night. She knew that he was still angry, so she took the initiative to show her goodwill. However, he could not accept her efforts at all. She even felt uncomfortable being stabbed in the heart, causing her heart to sink to the bottom again and again. She really hated him to the point that her teeth would itch, and no matter what she said, she would not let him off.
She was not a person who liked to be a petty person. She did not hide anything, and tonight's matter had truly annoyed her. Can't they just shut the door and say something? He had to be so angry with her, to make her lose face.
Speaking of which, this was their first real conflict. Back in the Prince Chu Palace, he had also pampered her. But she knew her own limits and didn't dare to kick her nose in the face like that. But now it was different. The room had been filled up, and they were now husband and wife, and children. Even if she had a small temper, it didn't matter. It also let him know that she wasn't a soft persimmon that was easy to pinch.
She pursed her lips when she heard his slightly angry words. Hmph, you're still being unreasonable.
The noise outside died down, and no one spoke. There was the sound of footsteps walking away. Startled, she thought he was gone. Since he couldn't enter the inner chamber, he probably went to the front courtyard. There was a duty room, and a duty room with a bed. He wasn't as particular as the crown prince.
She could not help but grumble inwardly. Why was he so impatient? Please, coax, maybe she'll open the door. What was the point in trying to coax her? Didn't they say that no matter what she did, he wouldn't get angry? They were all lies. When the critical moment came, he immediately saw her true colors.
Suddenly, she heard a sound, like a newborn baby mouse, trying to cry out but unable to, making a small squeaking sound.
She listened for a moment, holding her breath. She could tell he was pulling the bolt, something she'd done before, and she didn't expect him to do it. His heart skipped a beat. He quickly kicked off his shoes and got into bed.
After a while, he came in and the sound of his footsteps arrived at the bedside. After standing for a while and leaving, he heard the sound of water splashing, so he probably went to wash up.
After a while, he came over, took off his clothes, and laid down on the bed.
Bai Qianfan's back was facing him and her eyes were lightly closed. It was too quiet in the room, and all the sounds seemed to have been magnified as she heard him move the pillow a little, and then lie down, breathing slowly and evenly. It seemed that she had decided to ignore her, humph, ignore her, and see who could be more stubborn than who!
But after a while, he opened his mouth and calmly asked, "Qianyan, are you asleep?"
She kept silent and pretended to be asleep.
He waited a moment, then said, "I know you're awake. Let's talk, shall we?"
She made up her mind to ignore him. Instead, he reached out his hand from under the blanket and tried to cover her waist. She impatiently pulled it away, saying, "Stop messing around, I'm asleep."
"Why are you still talking when you're asleep?" He gave a stifled laugh and stopped pretending. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace. "Are you angry?"
She struggled in his arms, but was unable to break free. She felt a burning sensation on her back like a piece of charcoal, making her feel a little hot.
"Hot," she said, shaking his hand. "How am I supposed to sleep?"
"When you turn around, I'll let go."
~ What is there to be afraid of? Bai Qianfan pouted and turned around without saying a word.
"Speak, why are you angry?" He pulled out the hair on her face. "Tell me everything you don't like about me. We won't leave any overnight accounts. Let's calculate it now."
She lifted her eyelids. That was good too. She breathed out all the gloom in her heart and slept soundly.
"Why didn't you tell me that you had prepared a gift for the birthday of Big Sister Pearl? I'm going, but you didn't welcome me, and instead went to chat with them, so you didn't tell me to sit by your side when it was time to eat. You're standing so far away from me, "she raised her hand and gestured at him, then said angrily," You're even carrying food with you in the Big Sister Pearl! Don't you remember what she likes to eat, and ignore me as well. "
Morong Gan said, "You are accusing me wrongly, I gave you food first."
She snorted. "You're afraid of hungry children! Also, I offered my good intentions and even reached out my hand, but you just ignored me, "the more she spoke, the angrier she got." Even though you know that I don't understand those antiques, you didn't help me and only wanted to see me lose face. If I said I was going to catch a loach, you just said that you were going to fish for crabs.
"When I came back, I wanted to hold your hand. You didn't let me hold it, didn't you?" The corner of Morong Gan's mouth curved into a faint smile, "Speaking of which, even if I remember what she likes, I actually only remember those few, but I remember all the things that you like. As for the antiques, I thought you were interested. I asked you for the name of that Primeval Blue Flower a few times and thought you wanted to ask her. Besides, yesterday was her birthday, so things should be fine. "
"All lies!" Bai Qianfan ground her teeth in hatred, "I know you did that on purpose."
"Why should I?"
"You're still angry at me and Du Changfeng for what happened last night …"
He interrupted her, "You get angry when you see me and Zhu'er talking, but you're in the same room with Du Changfeng. What do you want me to think, I've been tired all day, and even thought about rushing back in the middle of the night to accompany you. But when I entered the door, what did I see? I found him and didn't call anyone over. I wanted to send him out secretly. "
"I'm afraid of making a big deal out of it. You'll get angry if you know about it."
"I'm more angry when you do this. On one hand, you're afraid that I'll be angry, but on the other hand, you're also afraid that I'll harm him. You're still more or less taking care of him, aren't you?"
Bai Qianfan moved her lips and realized that she had no power to refute him.
"The reason why I did that tonight was simply to let you feel the same. Everything I've done is in front of you, so I'm not afraid to let you see. As for you, you're afraid to let me see it. Qian Fan, I am a man, even if Du Changfeng looked at you once more, I won't be able to take it, let alone that kind of situation, can you understand how I feel? "
Bai Qianfan's heart was filled with mixed emotions. She originally wanted him to taste her grievance, but she didn't expect that he wanted her to taste his grievance. After thinking about it, she was indeed the one who was wrong.
"Th-that …" She hesitated.
He understood, however, and his face darkened. "You still want to know more about him?"
"No," she hurriedly explained, "I mean, since he is your subordinate, there is always an opportunity for us to meet. How about letting him leave this place?"
He held her hands, "You don't have to worry about that, I have my own plans. Qianyan, let's not make any more misunderstandings for the sake of someone unrelated, no matter if it's Du Changfeng or Zhu Er, what do you say?"
"All right," she said, putting her hand on his waist and raising her face to kiss his chin.
