Just when those big hands were about to touch the soft quilt, a clear female voice sounded from the quilt.
"Can you see clearly in such a dark place? Don't step on me and the baby in my belly when you go to bed."
The generous figure paused, and his dark eyes suddenly glowed with light in the dark night. Dongling Jiuqing exhaled a breath of filthy breath and sat next to the bed.
"You haven't slept yet. Are you waiting for me to come back?"
"Who is waiting for you to come back? I just slept late and couldn't sleep in bed."
Whether she recognized the bed or just his arms and scent, Xia Tan'er always knew Dong Lingjiu's tough words. The more she denied it, the more it showed that her thoughts had been guessed.
"Okay, okay, okay, you didn't wait for me to come back. It's because I thought too much."
"Of course, Uncle Nine Emperors, you can light the oil lamp and wash yourself before going to bed."
"Um."
Dong Lingjiu obeyed, took out the fire stick from his arms and blew it, and walked to the table obediently with the light of the lamp. As soon as the oil lamp was lit, he saw a handful of skewers on the table. Dong Lingjiu also liked it. The food.
Donglingjiu glanced at Xia Tan'er behind him in confusion, then picked up a bunch and sniffed it under his nose. After making sure there was no problem, he took a bite and chewed it carefully in his mouth. Donglingjiu didn't have much interest in food. Just ask to be full, but compared to the taste of the skewers, Dong Ling Jiu was more surprised that it was hot.
Xia Tan'er had no way of knowing when he would come back, and it was already midnight. The night market in the nearby town had closed at 11:00, so how could the kebabs still be hot.
As if aware of Dong Lingjiu's strangeness, Xia Tan'er on the bed closed her eyes and opened her mouth to explain.
"I know you didn't prepare dinner specially. Eat early and go to bed early. There are still a lot of things to be busy with tomorrow."
Dong Lingjiu's lips curled up, and his eyes once again revealed a hint of doting. Xia Tan'er really loved him.
But then, Dong Lingjiu was silent again. He looked at Xia Tan'er's back and thought about it before deciding to explain in person why he left without saying goodbye.
"Tan'er...don't you ask me where I have been?"
"Do not ask."
"Why not ask?"
He would ask the families of ministers or husbands who had not seen him for a moment to see if they were having secret meetings with beauties. Why didn't he ask Xia Tan'er when he came here?
Thinking of this discrepancy between the two of them and other couples, Dong Lingjiu got angry and insisted on getting a confirmation.
"Is it necessary?"
"Why isn't it necessary?"
Xia Tan'er opened her eyes and rolled her eyes. She sighed and sat up from the bed.
"Did you go to look for flowers? Did you go to have a private meeting with a beautiful woman to apologize to me?"
Dong Lingjiu shook his head.
"No."
"That's fine. I believe that you, Uncle Nine Emperors, will not do anything to make me sorry. And you, Uncle Nine Emperors, have indeed not done anything. This is enough. Why bother to go into details and make both of you unhappy?" .”
After hearing these words, Dong Lingjiu was startled. He really didn't expect that Xia Tan'er would trust him so much.
A feeling of pleasure slowly rose from my heart, and all explanations were not important at all in front of this sentence.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to have another meal with me?"
Xia Tan'er opened her mouth slightly and was about to say no when her stomach growled at the right time.
The two of them were silent at the same time, and Dong Lingjiu showed a relaxed smile again.
"Tan'er, come here."
