Xiao Tianyao said this to Lin Chujiu, not to complain about his difficulties, nor to show his ability. He just wanted to tell Lin Chujiu that he didn’t mean to not return to the mansion on purpose, nor did he mean to waste Lin Chujiu’s heart. He just wanted to settle the matter in hand as soon as possible.
Ordinarily, he could tell Lin Chujiu directly, but when did he explain it to others?
Who dares to ask him to explain to Xiao Wangfu? It was already his biggest concession that he could achieve this step.
Xiao Tianyao thinks that he has done a good job, after all, it was not his fault. Lin Chujiu didn’t tell him anything, he didn’t know that Lin Chujiu had prepared meals for him to eat together when they came back. If Lin Chujiu had told him in advance, he would come back on time, and he would never let Lin Chujiu wait for a second.
Of course, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to blame Lin Chujiu. He had been with Lin Chujiu for so long, and he somehow knew how proud and vengeful Lin Chujiu was, oh, and narrow-minded.
He blamed Lin Chujiu this time. In the future, Lin Chujiu might never wait for him to eat together again, let alone prepare the meals for him.
For the sake of a happy life in the future, and the stability of the husband and wife, he should be aggrieved and take a step back.
Xiao Tianyao thought he had explained the whole story in detail, Lin Chujiu should be happy, right? What would she say at this time?
However, after waiting for a long time, Lin Chujiu did not speak. Xiao Tianyao felt unhappy. When he looked up, he saw Lin Chujiu propping her head with her right hand, looking like she was about to fall asleep.
Xiao Tianyao’s good mood disappeared in an instant, and he said with a dark face: “Lin Chujiu, don’t you have anything to say?”
“Huh? Say, what are you talking about?” Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao in a daze, as if she hadn’t woken up.
She was sleepy. Because of the assassins, they changed the route for three days and changed it for two days. Today, they got up before dawn and hurried on the road without closing their eyes. Their return to the capital was also full of trifles. Although it was not that tiring, there was no time to catch up on sleep.
“At this time, what do you think you should say?” He left his official duties and came back. Even if there were no surprises, she should be moved, right?
“Wangye, I’m sleepy.” Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao anxiously, with tears in her big eyes.
When Xiao Tianyao knocked on the door, she was brushing her hair, and she dozed off while wiping. If Xiao Tianyao hadn’t knocked on the door, she would probably have fallen asleep lying on the dressing table.
“Benwang hasn’t eaten yet!” Xiao Tianyao said through gritted teeth.
He could tell that Lin Chujiu was sleepy, but the problem was that he came back. How can Lin Chujiu still have the heart to sleep? Can’t she think about him with her not-very-bright mind?
“Didn’t someone pass the meal?” Lin Chujiu yawned as she said, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes, drop by drop, glistening under the candlelight, coupled with the pitiful appearance of wanting to sleep and being unable to sleep, it was indescribably tempting. Xiao Tianyao had a thought, and when he reacted, he had already leaned forward, stroked Lin Chujiu’s face with his right hand, and pressed the corners of Lin Chujiu’s eyes with his fingertips.
The two were very close, their noses touch faintly, and as long as they exhale lightly, they can breathe heat into each other’s faces. The atmosphere in the room became ambiguous in an instant, Lin Chujiu woke up in an instant, and shouted in shock: “Wangye?” What was he doing? How can he move his hands and feet again?
“Don’t move.” Xiao Tianyao was also surprised. Looking at the big hand on Lin Chujiu’s face, Xiao Tianyao lowered his eyes silently.
He didn’t even know when he put it up, it was really… …
Lin Chujiu was Lin Chujiu, a casual movement that made him lose control.
“You, can you move back a little?” The heat was blowing on her face, she was uncomfortable. The most important thing was that her face seemed very red and hot.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t move, but said with a serious face: “There is dirt, don’t move around.”
“Wangye, this joke is not funny at all.” Lin Chujiu pulled Xiao Tianyao’s hand away forcefully and silently rolled her eyes.
Xiao Tianyao wanted to eat tofu, so he said that. But how could there be eye mucus on her eyes just after washing?
“Benwang never lies.” Xiao Tianyao was not angry when Lin Chujiu pulled him away, he stretched out his right hand and handed it to Lin Chujiu: “Look for yourself.”
At the fingertips, there is a mass of white sticky matter, and Lin Chujiu doesn’t need to look carefully to know what it was.
Lin Chujiu had black lines all over her head, and said with a cold face: “Thank you, wangye.” She was not sleepy now, but she doesn’t want to talk to Xiao Tianyao anymore. This man was too incomprehensible.
Even if he found eye mucus in the corner of her eyes, he doesn’t need to say it. It makes her so embarrassed, seriously.
“You owe me an apology.” Xiao Tianyao signaled Lin Chujiu to hand over a handkerchief to wipe his hands.
This woman will give him more and more embarrassment, and she can’t do without a little majesty.
Lin Chujiu got up and picked up the handkerchief, took the initiative to wipe off the gum on Xiao Tianyao’s fingers, and said flatly: “Wangye, I’m sorry.” She was not a hypocritical woman, nor does she have the capital to be hypocritical. It was her fault and she readily admitted it.
“It’s rare to be obedient.” Xiao Tianyao smiled brightly, obviously, he was flattened.
Lin Chujiu laughed, didn’t answer, turned around, and put the handkerchief back on the hanger, just as she turned around, she heard Xiao Tianyao say: “Now, are you still sleepy?”
“If I say I’m sleepy, will you let me go to sleep?” Xiao Tianyao frightened her from dozing off. It was true that she was not that sleepy anymore, but she was tired.
Xiao Tianyao did not answer directly, but said: “Benwang hasn’t had dinner yet.”
“So…” Lin Chujiu didn’t stupidly take the initiative to deliver it to the door.
“Accompany me for dinner.” Xiao Tianyao said calmly. As soon as his words fell, there was a burst of footsteps with different weights outside the door. Lin Chujiu knew without asking, that the servants must have brought the food.
Lin Chujiu sighed lightly: “Go out and eat, I don’t like the smell of food in my room.” When she was at the most difficult time before, she lived in only one room, and she could only eat in the room when it was cold. After the meal, the whole room smelled of food, which was not pleasant.
At that time, she had a big appetite but had no money. She often couldn’t get enough to eat. At night, the smell of food in the room made her feel even worse, and she was often so hungry that she couldn’t sleep. Later, when she had money, she was able to eat enough, but her habit of hating the smell of food in the room did not change.
“Let’s go, go to the flower hall.” As long as Lin Chujiu cooperates, Xiao Tianyao doesn’t mind where to eat.
The two walked out the door one after the other, and as soon as they crossed the threshold, Housekeeper Cao trotted forward and said with a look of liking: “This old slave greet wangye, and wangfei, may you live a thousand more years.”
“Send the food to the flower hall.” Xiao Tianyao ordered coldly and walked towards the flower hall after speaking.
Housekeeper Cao responded and quickly arranged for the servants to light up the lights in the flower hall. When Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu entered, the flower hall was as bright as day.
Xiao Tianyao sat down with Lin Chujiu, Housekeeper Cao immediately ordered someone to bring food. Seeing Housekeeper Cao who was sweating profusely, Lin Chujiu felt strangely balanced.
At least, she was not the only one who can’t sleep tonight!
