Quiet room.
Xie Ruotong soon fell asleep.
Having hardly slept last night, she quickly succumbed to drowsiness as soon as she lay down on the bed.
On the contrary, Song Yanqing, after enduring a night of tornt, sohow found himself unable to sleep.
He could feel the subtle breathing of the person behind him.
His heartbeat was inexplicably and sowhat rapid.
He must admit, his opinion of Xie Ruotong had changed a bit.
He had always thought that Xie Ruotong married him just to seize everything, but now he felt that he might have misunderstood her.
Could she also be forced into this plight against her will?
Song Yanqing just lay on the bed, lost in thought.
The room was silent and still.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed.
There was a slight disturbance.
At the door, he heard people talking, "The young master and the miss are still sleeping, it’s too early to disturb them, it might not be good."
"The old lady has ordered to co over and help the young master and miss wash up. Qiao’er, don’t worry, if the young master and miss haven’t gotten up, I won’t disturb them."
"Oh," Qiao’er dared not say more.
After all, no one dared to offend the Chief Maid who serves at the old lady’s side.
The Chief Maid then walked in.
Xie Ruotong, who had been sleeping soundly, was imdiately awakened by the noise at the door.
Indeed, as expected.
Her grandmother had really sent soone to check on them.
She gritted her teeth, "Song Yanqing, pardon ."
Song Yanqing, who had finally drifted off to sleep after great difficulty, was instantly awakened by Xie Ruotong’s words.
He turned over.
As he turned, he saw Xie Ruotong loosening her white nightgown.
Song Yanqing’s eyes flickered.
Xie Ruotong only loosened it a little, wearing it too properly would arouse suspicion.
Now, by loosening her clothing a bit and revealing a large portion of her neckline, she nestled her entire body into Song Yanqing’s embrace.
Song Yanqing’s body beca tense.
Xie Ruotong hugged Song Yanqing around the waist.
Song Yanqing didn’t dare to move an inch.
"Relax a little," Xie Ruotong could clearly feel Song Yanqing’s stiffness, "I won’t do anything to you."
Song Yanqing pursed his lips.
As a man, he never imagined he could be more reserved and awkward than a woman.
Knowing it was all for show to the grandmother, he didn’t understand what he was getting so twisted up about.
Song Yanqing gritted his teeth.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Ruotong into his embrace.
Xie Ruotong was sowhat surprised.
She had never expected Song Yanqing to take the initiative.
But then she thought, Song Yanqing probably didn’t want her grandmother to keep such close watch on them every single day.
So she didn’t dwell on it.
She rested her head against Song Yanqing’s chest.
The two bodies lay close together, both pretending to be deep in sleep.
The Chief Maid quietly approached their bed and lifted the bed curtain.
The ambiguous sleeping position of the son-in-law and the young miss under the curtain... The Chief Maid’s face turned red, and she roughly understood the situation.
She indeed did not disturb their sleep.
Then she quietly retreated.
After leaving.
Xie Ruotong intended to leave Song Yanqing’s embrace.
"They might co in again soon," Song Yanqing said, "Let’s sleep like this for now."
"..." Xie Ruotong was sowhat taken aback.
Not because she was excited about Song Yanqing’s initiative in skin-to-skin contact.
But rather because she didn’t expect Song Yanqing to be so cooperative with her.
Xie Ruotong naturally did not refuse.
The Chief Maid might indeed co in again soon.
If that were the case, she would remain absolutely vigilant while sleeping, and every ti the Chief Maid ca in, she would have to pretend with Song Yanqing, hardly being able to sleep well.
But if they kept this posture now, she would have no such worries.
Having understood this.
Xie Ruotong also slept peacefully.
Song Yanqing, holding Xie Ruotong, also drifted off to sleep.
It was indeed to sleep in peace, to let both him and Xie Ruotong have a good sleep, that he embraced Xie Ruotong.
Nothing more.
Daylight was shining through.
The Chief Maid couldn’t help but call out to them from behind the screen.
She had been waiting at the door for two hours, and during this ti, she naturally had to check on them now and then.
The old lady had instructed her to observe more closely.
So she paid extra attention, checking several tis.
Every ti, she saw the son-in-law and the young miss embracing each other; their intimacy left little room for doubt.
All she needed to do was to confirm the presence of the bridal blood stain later.
"Young master, young miss, it’s ti to get up. The old lady, the master and the mistress are waiting for you to have breakfast." The Chief Maid was extrely respectful.
Xie Ruotong frowned slightly.
Song Yanqing also felt quite exhausted.
