Chapter 175: Jealousy (6)

"She passed out in the evening and is resting in another room now."
Xie Xuanchen's expression changed abruptly when he heard those two words: "Passed out?"
When Xiang Nanchun heard that Xie Xuanchen had misunderstood her, she hurriedly added: "She’s fine, it’s just that she got too emotional and fainted. The imperial physician has already taken a look at her pulse, and at night, she drank the medicine that would calm her senses. Now she’s fast asleep.”
Xie Xuanchen didn't believe anyone in this manor except for himself and Mu Mingtang. When he woke up the last time, these people also said that Mu Mingtang was okay, she would just be gone for a while. What happened next?
Xie Xuanchen did not hide his suspicion, and said coldly: "Where is she?"
Xiang Nanchun didn't dare to challenge his temper, and immediately took the initiative to lead the way, she led Xie Xuanchen to the other room. Xie Xuanchen walked past the screen and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Mingtang was indeed asleep in bed.
Xie Xuanchen sat next to her. This was not the first time he saw Mu Mingtang's face when she was asleep, but it was his first time seeing it from a third party’s perspective. The two laid side by side before, as if it was something so common, and Xie Xuanchen didn't pay much attention to how she looked when she was asleep.
Xie Xuanchen looked at her for a while, and saw that her breathing was calm, her cheeks rosy, she must be having a good sleep. Xie Xuanchen felt slightly helpless and yet indulgent, he gradually smiled: "You have no conscience, you can sleep well anywhere."
When Xie Xuanchen finished, he leaned over to pick her up. Xiang Nanchun and the others were originally standing in front of the screen, and when they saw Xie Xuanchen's actions, they were all startled: "My lord……"
The maids didn't even finish their sentence, as they were frightened by Xie Xuanchen's gaze. Xiang Nanchun originally wanted to say that Xie Xuanchen still had injuries on him, and that he should be careful not to rip them, but upon seeing Xie Xuanchen's expression, she swallowed her words back into her stomach.
Mu Mingtang is a reasonable person, but not him.
Xie Xuanchen was worried that she would catch a cold, so he brought her back to the bed along with the quilt. After he placed Mu Mingtang on the bed in their room, Mu Mingtang, who came into contact with the cold bedding, seemed to be unaccustomed to it, she shrank, and moved towards Xie Xuanchen’s side
Xie Xuanchen had just gotten up, and there was still some of his warmth remaining in his quilt. Mu Mingtang moved to a position she liked, felt at ease, and fell asleep again. Xie Xuanchen sat aside, seeing this scene, he had complicated feelings about this.
He thought that Mu Mingtang didn't mind sleeping in a strange bed, it was good to be simple-minded, but now, he brought her to a completely different place, Mu Mingtang was still able to sleep steadily during the whole process, how thoughtless can she be.
If it wasn't him, could Mu Mingtang be this thoughtless if it was another man?
Xie Xuanchen was in a complicated mood, but looking at Mu Mingtang's side profile at rest, he couldn't bear to wake her up. Xie Xuanchen straightened out Mu Mingtang's pyjamas sleeves that were slid up to her arms, with gentle movements, in fear that Mu Mingtang would be woken up inadvertently by him, but he still threatened her in a low voice: "Let me see how you’ll explain this tomorrow."
Xie Xuanchen closed the doors and windows, blew on the candle and fell asleep. Xie Xuanchen was just about to fall asleep, when he felt someone’s head leaning on his shoulder.
Fuzzy, and it slightly gave him the itch.
Nights in November were already starting to get quite chilly, Mu Mingtang was craving for warmth and couldn't help but squeeze to Xie Xuanchen's direction. Xie Xuanchen had to stretch out his hand and gently push her head away. However, after a while, she came over again.
Xie Xuanchen looked down for a while, and finally closed his eyes.
"I’ll let you have some sleep for a night, and I’ll settle matters with you tomorrow."
