I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 225

Chapter 225

Mu Mingtang was startled and hurriedly shoved that thing under the pillow. She spun around and found that Xie Xuanchen was walking toward the screen.
Thank God! He has not seen it.
So Mu Mingtang pretended to be okay and stood up, patted the pillow, and stretched the quilt.
Actually, Xie Xuanchen had seen what Mu Mingtang did, but he pretended not to know that she was hiding something under the pillow, and did not ask anything. However, Mu Mingtang had a guilty conscience and could not help telling, “I was making the bed just now. Oh, the new quilt was not very comfortable.”
Xie Xuanchen pressed his lips to hold on to his laughter. “Hmm”
Mu Mingtang was afraid that Xie Xuanchen would find out, so she quickly changed the subject: “Why are you so fast?”
Xie Xuanchen gave her a strange look.
“What’s the matter? Is there anything wrong with this sentence?” Mu Mingtang asked anxiously.
“No.” Although Xie Xuanchen said no, the expression on his face told another thing.
What’s wrong? Why does he look like this? She got more scared after seeing his face.
At this moment, the two of them had changed into their sleepwear. The maids in the room had all retired, and red candles were burning high, spreading a calm atmosphere in the room.
Both of them had just taken a shower, their clothes were thin, and their hair was half-dry. When Xie Xuanchen came to bed, Mu Mingtang was already on the bed while yawning but could not sleep. When Xie Xuanchen was about to lift the quilt, he saw Mu Mingtang looking at him eagerly, so he stopped getting on the bed and lifted his pillow instead.
He saw a purse under the pillow.
“This is the New Year’s money I prepared for you! Surprise or not?” Mu Mingtang asked happily.
“Well, I’m surprised.” Xie Xuanchen nodded in cooperation and picked up the red purse. When he picked it up, he was still thinking, Is there really lucky money? If she really dares to give money… Xie Xuanchen thought about it and found that he couldn’t do anything about Mu Mingtang either.
Xie Xuanchen, full of helplessness, untied the purse. When he saw what was inside, he slowly pulled it out and was very surprised: “You made it?”
He was holding a Ruyi knot[1], which was different from what he had seen at the market.
“It looks like you made it yourself.”
Mu Mingtang came over and said, “That’s right. Turn it over and see.”
Xie Xuanchen turned it over and found that there was a character woven with silver thread on the back of the Ruyi knot. It was the character “Chen.”
Xie Xuanchen’s heart filled with warmth. It was not an expensive gift, but to prepare such a delicate thing, she needed a lot of thought. Even his name was in it, which is obviously a unique gift that belongs to him in the whole world.
Seeing that Xie Xuanchen did not speak, Mu Mingtang explained, “I made it myself, lines are different from an ordinary knot because I sewed your name on it. Your name, ‘Chen’, means stars, so I used blue and silver thread to make it.”
Xie Xuanchen understood how much patience and time had taken to made this delicate knot.
“Thank you, I like it very much.” He said in a low voice.
Mu Mingtang was delighted after hearing Xie Xuanchen’s words. “The constellations are eternal, do not fade. I want you to be like that. Be safe, and I wish you a hundred years.”
Xie Xuanchen looked at Mu Mingtang. Her long hair was loose, and she was sitting in the red tent with only a single coat, with a serious expression. She said that the stars are eternal and not decayed, and he was similar to stars.
Xie Xuanchen had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He reached out and brushed Mu Mingtang’s long half-dry hair and took Mu Mingtang into his arms.
“Okay.”
