Chapter IBMLS Ch.89 Sleep (1)
Mu Mingtang counted on Xie Xuanchen to refuse, she winked at Xie Xuanchen, and Xie Xuanchen also opened his eyes wide and stared at her. The two looked at each other for a long time, even until Mu Mingtang felt embarrassed, Xie Xuanchen suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.
Mu Mingtang breathed a sigh of relief. This person was really slow to react, but he finally came back to his senses.
Immediately afterwards, she heard Xie Xuanchen say: “Okay, bring it over.”
Mu Mingtang almost choked on her saliva,bring it over? Bring what over? Didn’t she just tell him to refuse her, why is he saying okay?
Mu Mingtang turned around in disbelief, her eyes widened. Mu Mingtang’s expression was way too obvious, and Xie Xuanchen realised that something was wrong. However, at this time, the maids had got the message and started to enter the room, they neatly placed the bedding and pillows on the round stool, then bowed as they exited. Xiang Nanchun followed at the end and blessed Mu Mingtang: “Princess, the bedding has been put in place. May the prince and the princess sleep in peace, we’ll leave now.”
After Xiang Nanchun finished speaking, she walked out quickly, and closed the partition door gently as she went out.
Only Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were left in the enclosed bedroom, they looked at each other.
Mu Mingtang couldn’t help it anymore, she lowered her voice and asked, “Didn’t I ask you to refuse?”
Xie Xuanchen also felt inexplicable: “Did you mean to refuse? You kept looking at me, I thought you were embarrassed to agree, so you asked me to help you agree.”
“Who said I wanted to agree?”
“Then why did you look at me?”
The two questioned each other, their voices gradually raised. After saying this, both Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang realized that they were being too loud, and the both shut up.
Mu Mingtang stared at the bed cover for a long time, then gradually collapsed: “What should I do now?”
Xie Xuanchen leaned on the bed, with his delicate chin, and his light lip color, he said rather weakly: “It’s already here, just sleep first. You can move out tomorrow.”
“Easy for you to say!” Mu Mingtang wanted to grab his hair, “Where do I sleep?”
Xie Xuanchen turned slightly, then innocently and calmly pointed to the side.
Mu Mingtang’s expression collapsed at that moment, will she be sleeping next to Xie Xuanchen?
Mu Mingtang held it back for a long time, and finally blurted: “But, we’re the only ones here, if we sleep in the same bed, I’m afraid it won’t sound good when the others hear about this.”
After Xie Xuanchen listened to her, his eyebrows moved, and he looked at Mu Mingtang with a very hesitant look: “We’re a married couple, why are we afraid of other people knowing?”
Mu Mingtang was completely speechless. Since things cannot be changed, the more helpless she feels, the sooner she’ll accept things. Mu Mingtang stood on the ground and stared at Xie Xuanchen for a while. After her emotional breakdown, she slowly developed a strange sense of calmness: “Okay.”
Mu Mingtang thought optimistically, she experienced a period of time which was way tougher than this, and now she had a bed to sleep in, and a roof to shelter her from the wind and rain, it was just sleeping here for one night, she shouldn’t be so caught up about it. Mu Mingtang thought she had figured it out, so she walked to the bed with her fluffy bedding. Unexpectedly, many problems popped up when she was making the bed.
Mu Mingtang realized that her thinking was way too simple.
“It’s hard for me to make the bed with you here, move inside.”
“No, why should I move aside. You sleep inside.”
“You’re the patient, and I have to take care of you. It’s not convenient for me to walk around if I sleep inside.”
“Then it’ll be convenient for me to move around if I sleep inside?”
“How can this be the same? I’m not sure how long you’ll sleep in tomorrow, but I have to get up at dawn. It’s too inconvenient for me to get up if I sleep inside.”
“What does it have to do with me?” Xie Xuanchen had an arrogant expression, obviously lacking the virtues of sharing or cooperating. “Anyway, I won’t move, if you have the strength, then move me away.”
