Thankyou 8oclocksleeper for your support ><

Xiao Qiao woke up from a night’s sleep at noon the next day. Wei Shao is not in bed anymore. She could hear the sound of footsteps and people talking in the hall.

Chun Niang assisted her in getting up. Wei Shao came back from outside.

The house’s owner sent a fresh meal.

There was a plate of Chinese fern, wild vegetables, and beans. There was also a carp. They served the rice in an earthenware pots shaped like bowls. They brought the food along with a food table.

It was already the best service ordinary people could do.

All the hard work last night was not in vain. Xiao Qiao’s status was enough to sit opposite Wei Shao and eat with him today.

While eating, Xiao Qiao glanced at the man across from her from time to time.

As they spent time together, Xiao Qiao found Wei Shao’s characteristic: a beast in bed. But he became disciplined once he got out of bed and put on his clothes.

Just like this moment. Not sure what Wei Shao did in the morning while she was asleep. She didn’t see him in the morning. He came back, sat upright, and ate his meal.

Xiao Qiao was tormented by him last night. Now her legs were still sore. He looked like a normal person, and she constantly glanced at him.Wei Shao looked at her and put a piece of fish in her bowl.

Xiao Qiao smiled at him: “Thank you, husband.”

Wei Shao replied, “Eat more. You are too thin. It’s good to grow more meat.”

Xiao Qiao stared at him.

“Why aren’t you eating yet?” Wei Shao slightly raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Qiao’s mind recalled his cheeky appearance last night when he buried his head in her chest. She decided to forgive him for his thoughtless offense. She lowered her head and ate the rice in the bowl one bite at a time.

They finished their meal, rinsed their mouths, and put away the food case. The house owner offered a plate of golden tangerines.

They sat side-by-side on a thick floor opposite the window. At the end of the window was a white, frozen river.

Xiao Qiao, having eaten her fill, leaned lazily on Wei Shao’s shoulder and took a tangerine. She played with it in her hand.

Wei Shao wrapped his arm around her waist and said he had sent someone to the next crossing a hundred miles away from here early in the morning to check it and was still waiting for the report.

Xiao Qiao casually mumbled. She slowly peeled the tangerine. The refreshing aroma of orange peel lushed in the middle of the two.

“What are you thinking? I saw you lost in thought for a long time.”Wei Shao stroked her long, silky hair and asked softly.

Because they were not going to leave today, Xiao Qiao did not coil up her hair, only tied it up at the back of her head.

Xiao Qiao hesitated, looked up at him, and said: “Since it is inconvenient to cross the river, why not wait a few more days? I am a little worried about Lingbi and my brother-in-law. This place is closer, and news can be transmitted quickly ……”

“You mean the green-eyed straggler?” Wei Shao’s tone immediately became cold.

“If he can’t even handle Xue Tai, what makes him justify himself? You don’t have to worry.”

Xiao Qiao was faintly stunned and silent.

Wei Shao put his arm around her, and his voice softened again, “Before I left that day, I asked him if he needed assistance. He refused. There should be no problem. You don’t have to worry.”

Xiao Qiao softly mumbled, “I know.”

Wei Shao watched her for a moment and saw her eyes lowered to the tangerine in her hand. He hesitated again but said: “How about this? I knew Yang Xin a bit. I will send a message to him. If the head of the stragglers can’t win, I’ll let Yang Xin help him. This way, you should be relieved, right?”

Xiao Qiao had no time to care about how he addressed Bi Zhi as ‘the head of the stragglers.’ She heard his speech and suddenly looked up. She widened her eyes, nodded hard, and then sat up on her knees, wrapping her arms around his neck: “Husband is really nice.”

Wei Shao posed, tilting his head back to avoid her hug, grunting twice: “You still haven’t told me. You went to such great lengths to travel south. What exactly do you want to do? Do you really want to visit your sick Aunt?”

Xiao Qiao’s heart jumped slightly, but her face was full of smiles: “Naturally, I’m visiting my sick Aunt. And to visit my sister who is pregnant.”

When she finished, she saw him raise his eyebrows slightly and seemed unconvinced. She peeled a clove of tangerine and fed it into his mouth. Then she kissed his lips.

His nostrils filled with the aroma of tangerine and the sweetness of her lips.

Wei Shao was deeply intoxicated.
