Marry a Duke

Chapter 190 Lie Down Well

Fu Ran didn't force him.

There is no need for a nominal one. From now on, she can just treat him like her brother.

Cheng Jiang indeed saved her several times regardless of his own safety.

When I helped her deliver the letter, I was risking my life.

She is not ungrateful.

She kept Cheng Jiang and A Lin by her side. They were not guards of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, but her personal guards.

"Cheng Jiang and A Lin saved my life. Their places to go have been cut off because of me. I want to find a way out for them. From now on, I will keep them with me. I can pay for their monthly expenses myself." She was still in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

If Wei Xuan disagrees, she can first send Cheng Jiang and A Lin to the Shen family's temporary residence.

When the day comes when she leaves the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion completely, she will take them with her.

But her words were too polite, making Wei Xuan narrow his eyes.

He has a bad temper and has been enduring and restraining himself for so many years.

It's no longer the same as when I was young.

But Fu Ran kept pushing himself away and reminding him again and again how fragile their relationship was, which made Wei Xuan very unhappy.

"Why are you talking to me like this? It's so formal. We are husband and wife." He reminded her.

Fu Ran wanted to refute, but gave up.

There's no end to it.

"Then let Cheng Jiang stay in the mansion to recuperate first, and we can make plans after he recovers."

"Ah."

Back at Chaoguangyuan, Wuyou was awake, and Wei Xuan played with his daughter for a long time.

The older the child, the longer they are awake.

No more just sleeping all day.

It responds more to adults, like a little person who can communicate but cannot speak yet. It's very interesting.

Wei Xuan held Wuyou's little hand, his heart was soft.

He was very patient with the child and kept entertaining Wuyou until she fell asleep again, then he put her in the crib.

The wounds on Fu Ran's body and face still hurt.

She tried her best to bear it.

There is no point in yelling, it will only make you more exhausted.

She was a little tired and fell asleep as soon as she got into bed.

In the middle of the night, he felt a little hot, so he opened his eyes and found that she had fallen asleep in his arms again.

Fu Ran was a little angry.

Why was her sleeping posture so bad that she often rolled into his arms? Clearly before going to sleep, she had been lying on her side, quite far away from him. The bed was big enough that at least two more Wuyou could fit between them.

She was not aware at all that she turned over and rolled over, but every time she opened her eyes, she was in his arms.

Her face touched his chest, causing a slight pain.

She snorted.

Very quietly.

Wei Xuan woke up again.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" He had just woken up and his voice was still a little hoarse, giving people the illusion that he really cared about her.

Fu Ran slowly moved out of his arms without looking up, so she didn't know that his eyes had become darker.

"Someone is coming."

"Wait." Fu Ran tried to stop him, but it was too late. It was Bi'an who was on duty outside.

"My subordinate is here."

Wei Xuan glared at her with his dark eyes: "Should we let Bi'an go and find Su Yu, or should we let Doctor Feng?" He let her choose.

Fu Ran chose no one.

"It's late at night, and they have rested. There's no need. The wound on my face won't heal in a while, and I need to heal it slowly. I just accidentally touched the wound just now, it's okay." She lay down flat.

This way the wound won't be disturbed.

Wei Xuan paused for a moment before letting Bi'an outside the door leave.

Fu Ran closed his eyes again, but couldn't fall asleep.

Wei Xuan fell asleep instead.

Then, she saw it firsthand, and he casually pulled her into his arms in the middle of the night.

Fu Ran protected his face with one hand and gently touched his forehead to his chest.

It was already slightly bright outside the window.

Her eyes widened.

I see--

She asked why she slept so badly every day and rolled into his arms every time without her having any impression of it. It must be sleepwalking, which made her wonder how to cure this disease.

Now, the truth is out.

It's all because of him. Once he takes action, it's useless for her to hide anywhere.

Fu Ran took a deep breath, but Wei Xuan didn't wake up.

She was very angry and struggled violently to get out of his arms.

Wei Xuan woke up.

"What?" He put his hand on her waist.

"Wei Xuan." She called him by his first name.

Wei Xuan's eyes opened, without a trace of sleepiness in them.

"Ok?"

"Do you know how bad your sleeping posture is? You pulled me over here in the middle of the night." She glared at him. "I thought I was sleepwalking and ran over here by myself, but it turned out to be you who pulled me over here."

Wei Xuan remained silent. It was indeed he who pulled her over, but not every time. Occasionally, she rolled over by herself.

He remained calm, but could see the displeasure on her face.

He narrowed his eyes.

"Fu Ran, I am your husband. Have you forgotten this? Do you want me to carve it on your hand bones?" He held her hand, and her slender wrist could be broken in two with just a little force.

He didn't use any force.

"So, what?" A wise man knows the current situation. "Even if it's my husband, he wouldn't do this."

"Does a husband and wife need the Milky Way to separate them when they sleep in the same bed? You avoid me like the plague. Do you really not want to continue living with me and are planning to leave me step by step? I, Wei Xuan, have no shortage of women, but the position of my wife is not something you can just come and go as you please." He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear.

He tried not to make any noise so loud as to disturb Wuyou.

"You, why are you so fierce?" How scary.

She pushed him, but couldn't move him.

His big hands clasped her waist, not hard, but firmly, and she couldn't struggle at all.

Fu Ran's heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of his chest.

"If you pull and tug like that, it will touch my face and the wound will hurt." When necessary, learn to give in. Saving your life is the most important thing.

As soon as she said this, she could clearly feel that Wei Xuan's attitude softened.

"Let me see." He was really looking, very close.

Fu Ran was forced to close his eyes.

There was gauze on the wound and nothing could be seen.

"There is no bleeding, and the wound should not have opened. It's just been bumped. It's okay, let's change positions." He let her sleep on the outside, on her side, with the other face facing down, so that it would not be easily bumped.

Fu Ran is really a big talker.

Fortunately, daybreak is approaching.

She deliberately made some noise to wake Wuyou up, and immediately got out of bed to hug Wuyou.

"Wuyou must be hungry." She used her hands and feet.

Wei Xuan took her back.

"Lie down and I'll go."

He got out of bed and was gentle with his daughter. He picked Wuyou up and coaxed her for a while, then changed her diaper. Knowing that Wuyou was hungry, he carried Wuyou out and asked the wet nurse to take her over to feed her. Then he came back.

Continue lying in the same position, facing her.

Fu Ran looked up at him, sometimes wanting to knock open his head to see what was going on in his mind.

But she definitely couldn't beat him.

"Sleep a little longer." His hand came over again and pulled Fu Ran in to prevent her from falling under the bed.

So, Fu Ran was forced to take a nap in his arms.
