As the saying went, the hedonistic love food and sex. The lady boss was naturally no exception.
She covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly. “Not only are you handsome, but you’re also very considerate to your wife.” Then, she winked at Yu Niaoniao.
“You have good taste. You chose a good man.”
Yu Niaoniao’s face was so red that it was about to bleed. She hid behind Xiao Juan, looking like an extremely embarrassed wife.
The lady boss could not help but laugh. “Haha, you’re so cute.” She sashayed and led the way, leading them to the guest room.
“Rest well. Hot water will be sent over later.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Thank you.”
“The chef has already gone home. If the two of you want to eat, you can only go to the kitchen to cook yourself. The money for the ingredients will be calculated with the room fee later.”
After explaining this, the lady boss looked at the two of them again. She had been running the shop for so many years and welcomed them every day. She had also seen eloping couples, but in terms of looks, none of them could compare to the couple in front of her.
She couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t worry, there’s no one living in the guest room next to yours. Even if you make any noise tonight, no one will hear you.”
With that, she closed the door and walked away humming a tune. Yu Niaoniao heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally sent her away.
It was very tiring to pretend to be shy!
The guest room was not big. There was a bed against the wall and a cabinet beside it. There were tables and chairs by the window. There was nothing else.
Xiao Juan placed the bag on the table. “It’s been hard on you.”
“You’re the one who should feel wronged.”
As Yu Niaoniao spoke, she walked over, opened the bag, and took out gauze and a medicine bottle.
“Sit down and take off your shirt.”
Like a large canine, Xiao Juan obediently followed her instructions and took off his shirt, revealing his strong chest wrapped in gauze.
Yu Niaoniao said as she helped him remove the gauze.
“You could have continued to be your Duke Lang in the Imperial Capital and lived a luxurious life every day. Now, you’ve become a wanted criminal for my sake. Now, you have nothing. If I were you, I would definitely feel wronged.” Xiao Juan sat on a stool with his hands on his knees and his back straight.
He said softly, “I don’t feel aggrieved.”
Yu Niaoniao gently wiped the edge of the wound with gauze.
The edge of the wound was a little swollen and looked a little inflamed.
She couldn’t help but worry. There were no antibiotics these days. Inflammation could kill.
When the ointment touched the wound, Xiao Juan involuntarily tightened his muscles and curled his index finger slightly. Yu Niaoniao became even gentler. “If it hurts, tell me.”
Xiao Juan said, “It doesn’t hurt.”
Yu Niaoniao thought to herself, How could such a deep wound not hurt?
If it were her, she would definitely cry from the pain.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
Right on the heels of that, the lady boss’s voice came from outside the door. “Sirs, the hot water you wanted has been delivered.”
Xiao Juan wanted to get up to open the door, but Yu Niaoniao stopped him.
“Sit still. I’ll open the door.”
Yu Niaoniao casually took a shirt and put it on Xiao Juan. She quickly walked to the door.
She pulled open the door and saw the lady boss standing outside with a bucket. She immediately reached out to take it.
The lady boss said warmly, “How can I let you do it yourself? Let me carry it in for you.”
Yu Niaoniao declined. “No need. I’ll do it myself.”
The lady boss glanced into the house and saw Xiao Juan sitting on a stool. He was wearing a coat, and his firm chest muscles could vaguely be seen.
She immediately imagined many inappropriate scenes and could not help but chuckle.
Yu Niaoniao looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she was laughing.
The lady boss patted Yu Niaoniao’s shoulder and said meaningfully.
“I didn’t expect you to be so playful. Teach me when you’re free later. I want to find a handsome man like your husband too.”
Yu Niaoniao immediately blushed.
This time, she wasn’t pretending to be shy. She was really shy.
She did not even dare to answer the lady boss. She quickly thanked her and hurriedly closed the door.
Xiao Juan’s hearing far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Even though Yu Niaoniao and the lady boss’s voices were not loud, he still heard them.
He could not help but feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to say something, but he did not know where to start.
Yu Niaoniao pretended that nothing had happened and walked to his side to continue changing his dressing.
It was unknown if it was because of the lady boss’s words just now, but the two of them, who were originally focused, were a little distracted at this moment. Even the atmosphere became romantic.
Although the two of them had been married for more than two years, they had yet to consummate their marriage.
This matter did not make sense no matter what.
Yu Niaoniao bandaged his wound again.
Xiao Juan put on his clothes, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Yu Niaoniao hurriedly stopped him. “It’s so late. Where are you going?” Xiao Juan said, “Take a bath. I’ll wait outside.”
Yu Niaoniao hesitated before saying, ‘You haven’t bathed for a few days. Why don’t… you bathe with me?”
By the time she finished, her face was flushed and her heart was pounding.
She said it so bluntly that even a blockhead would know what she meant.
Xiao Juan looked at the closed door in front of him and was silent for a long time before speaking.
“You don’t have to,”
Yu Niaoniao felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head. She immediately felt cold from head to toe.
He had actually rejected her!
He didn’t want her!
Yu Niaoniao had never been so embarrassed in her life!
She felt ashamed and angry. She wanted to rush forward and bite him.
“Say that again if you have the guts!”
Xiao Juan did not say anything else. He silently opened the door and walked out.
Soon the door was closed again.
Yu Niaoniao was left standing there sulking.
She angrily undressed and sat in the bathtub. As she scrubbed her body hard, she cursed fiercely.
“You cowardly bastard, how dare you reject me? Just you wait. Don’t even think about touching me for the rest of your life. Let’s see who can last longer!”
Outside the room, Xiao Juan stood quietly under the porch, the cold moonlight falling on him.
Ahead of him, all he could see was darkness. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩
He did not know where this path would eventually lead, nor did he know how many days he could protect Niaoniao.
The faint pain on his back kept reminding him that he was guilty of regicide. He could not give Niaoniao the future she wanted.
In that case, he could not hope for more.
The door behind him was pulled open.
Yu Niaoniao glared at him angrily. “I’m done!”
Xiao Juan walked into the house in silence. He washed his face with the remaining hot water and lay side by side with Yu Niaoniao on the bed.
The bed was not big. It was just enough for two adults to lie on.
Although she was still very angry, Yu Niaoniao was too tired after running around for so long. Soon, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She unknowingly leaned on Xiao Juan.
Xiao Juan silently reached out and hugged her.
He knew that was wrong, but he couldn’t bear it.
It was just a hug.
He could only do it for a moment..
