She slept on the outer side, her little feet kicking the brocade quilt, pouting her lips in dissatisfaction, and turned over with her eyes half-open and half-closed. Indistinctly, she saw a handso and unparalleled face leaning in front of her eyes.
The man had an upright figure like a peak, with high eyebrows, deep eyes, thin and sexy moist lips, and a face so beautiful it was breathtaking, as if an immortal had descended to earth.
What made her heart tremble the most was that he actually lowered his head to kiss the tip of her nose.
She let out a soft cry, closed her eyes again, and fell into a dizzy sleep. She felt the kiss go from the tip of her nose all the way to her lips.
It was an extrely gentle and lingering kiss that left her mind blank.
She took a few deep breaths, thinking she was having a spring dream, otherwise how could the Eldest Prince appear in Ah Si's bedroom?
But the sensation before her eyes was too real. She reached out and touched the distinct side of his face.
"Eldest Prince..."
The man's thin lips left her lips.
Gu Ying suddenly cald down, knowing that she was dreaming. She turned over again, hugged Ning Si in the quilt, and then fell fast asleep.
Zhao Changdu's face showed helplessness, and the corners of his mouth hooked up indulgently. He reached out and pinched the little girl's tender cheek, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
"Do you know that I can't sleep without you?"
He ca so late to pick her up, but she was sleeping with Ning Si.
It was only one day since they last t, yet she had already thrown her husband out of her mind. She really was a fickle little villain.
However, with Ning Si here, he couldn't do anything to her. He just watched the little girl's sleeping face for a while by the bed before silently getting up and leaving the room.
Let it go. Let her stay at the Ning family house for a few days to take care of Ning Si, then he’d co to pick her up and take her back to Qingjiang Manor, it won't be too late.
Nowadays, the two talked less.
He could see that she had a lot on her mind that weighed heavily on her.
If he didn't push her a little, he was afraid the little girl would never get over it in her lifeti.
As for Jiang Yin...
Zhao Changdu leaped onto the top of the Ning house wall, his deep eyes narrowed, he would kill him sooner or later.
...
The next day, when Gu Ying opened her eyes, she saw Ning Si already awake and sitting in a daze on the couch.
The breakfast brought by Cai Xi had not been touched at all.
Gu Ying woke up in bed. She had slept quite well last night and had a nice dream, so her mood today improved a lot.
However, when she rembered the Eldest Prince’s recent coldness towards her, she still felt a little uncomfortable and depressed at heart after all.
From yesterday till now, the Eldest Prince hadn't co to see her, which showed that he really didn't want to et her recently.
Gu Ying sighed silently. This was also good. It would be reasonable and more convenient for both of them to calm down for a while, so she could do other things.
However, for the sake of the child in her belly, she would have to learn to keep herself in a good mood no matter what.
So without thinking too much, she lay for a while and then got up. The Eldest Prince had his own busy matters, and she also had a lot to do herself. Since Jiang Yin knew she had co to Yueyang, they would have to et sooner or later.
"Ah Si."
Ning Si turned her head and pulled the corners of her pale, feeble lips into a faint smile. "Is Ah Ying awake?"
Gu Ying put on her outer garnt and walked over to sit in front of her. "I'm going out to buy dicine for you today. Stay at ho and rest well, don't overthink."
Ning Si obediently nodded her head. Her eyes were sowhat distracted and confused as she slowly placed her little hand on her own lower abdon. Her eyes were full of helplessness and sadness.
Gu Ying noticed her distress and also worried that she might have so irrational thoughts.
As a pregnant woman herself, she naturally knew that it was normal for a woman about to beco a mother who, unless forced, would never choose to kill her own flesh and blood with her own hands.
Ning Si was still young and unmarried. It was normal for her to not be able to accept this for the ti being.
Gu Ying called Yin Lan over and asked her to take good care of Ning Si. She herself changed into n's clothing, tied up her long hair, put on a jade crown, and prepared to go out.
Today she was going to not only buy dicine but also et Jiang Yin. So things had to be resolved sooner rather than later... She couldn't just wait for her doom with folded arms.
...
After taking care of Ning Si, Yin Lan saw that she had returned to her room to sleep again. Only then she went to Huai An's yard.
She quietly changed Huai An’s dicine and re-wrapped the gauze. She remained very quiet the whole ti.
Huai An happily drank the bone soup cooked by Yin Lan’s own hands. While pretending to be in pain, he called out.
Seeing that he was still agonized, Yin Lan suddenly ca back to her senses and compassionately placed her hand on Huai An’s right leg that was almost broken. “General Huai, how do you feel? It’s been so long, is your injury still painful?”
Huai An had extrely thick skin. He bared his teeth and said, “Painful. The bone hurts badly. Yin Lan, help .”
Yin Lan felt a little helpless as she looked at his injured leg, not knowing what to do. “How can I help?”
The soup had been simred and dicine had been applied. With such a severe injury of a broken bone, she shouldn’t casually massage it.
She really didn't know what she could do to alleviate Huai An's pain a little.
Huai An glanced at her imperceptibly. Pretending to be uncomfortable, he knitted his brows and sighed, “I know you can’t do much. Just stay and chat with to relieve my boredom. I feel very lonely recuperating alone in this yard.”
Hearing this, Yin Lan felt even more guilty.
Huai An was originally one of the Eldest Prince's generals with great prospects. Following the Eldest Prince, he could also earn prestige. But now, just because of her, he had injured his leg and could only lie idle in this small yard, unable to do anything...
She knew Huai An liked her. To be honest with herself, Huai An had nearly died for her sake. How could she not also have feelings for Huai An?
She was just afraid to readily accept him.
But if Huai An were to beco disabled for life because of her and could no longer follow the Eldest Prince to build his rits, the only way she could compensate would be to marry him and take care of him for life.
She had seriously considered these matters for a long ti.
"Alright, you speak."
Huai An looked up at her. "Why do you look unhappy?"
Yin Lan took a small bench and sat by the side of the reclining Huai An with her eyes falling indistinctly on his injured leg. "It's not that I'm unhappy. I just feel that sothing strange is going on recently between the Eldest Prince and Madam."
As a man, Huai An didn't notice anything. "Huh? What's wrong with the Eldest Prince and Madam?"
Yin Lan pursed her lips and raised her eyes to et Huai An's. "I don't know why either. The Eldest Prince has suddenly beco much colder towards Madam. I can also see that Madam feels bad inside, but Madam can be very stubborn sotis, so she just bears it. The Eldest Prince doesn't co looking for Madam, and Madam won't take the initiative to find the Eldest Prince either. On the surface, they still look like a loving couple, but in reality, their hearts are not in one place."
"Why are their hearts not in one place?" Huai An didn't notice anything. Recently, under Yin Lan’s caring attention, he had been concentrating on recuperating from his injury and couldn’t spare any thoughts for anything else.
Yin Lan said, "I feel that Madam is hiding sothing from the Eldest Prince. The Eldest Prince also has an introverted personality. There will definitely be problems when neither person asks nor says anything to each other."
Huai An asked doubtfully, "You’re Madam’s personal maid, but don't even know what’s going on?"
