Chapter 408: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (31)
During the time that Ruan Qingyue lived in the Marquis' Mansion, she witnessed with her own eyes Wei Jingzhou's love and care for Ruan Guannan, as well as his expectations for their child.
Looking at the loving appearance of the two, Ruan Qingyue was envious, but at the same time, she couldn't help but recall her own lonely life in her previous life.
Without the care of her husband and the presence of her children and grandchildren, she was held in a high position in the second wife's house like a jade sculpture.
Comparing the scene of the loving couple in front of her, she felt like her heart was being stabbed by needles and she almost couldn't maintain the obedient smile on her face.
Until the moment Ruan Guannan gave birth, Wei Jingzhou looked at Ruan Guannan as if she were the apple of his eye.
She privately guessed that it might be because she cared more about the child.
But looking at the man who was always dignified, proud, and handsome, his face was as pale as paper when he stood at the door of the delivery room.
If he hadn't been chased out by his cousin, he would probably have stayed in there to accompany the birth.
Wei Jingzhou's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
From the moment Qingqing suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain until he carried her into labor, Wei Jingzhou's mind was blank.
He suddenly remembered the words "not conducive to childbirth" that the doctor had diagnosed at the beginning.
Wei Jingzhou staggered and his whole body began to go numb in panic.
Ruan Qingyue was not invited in to accompany the birth, so when she saw that Wei Jingzhou was in a bad condition, she hesitated for a moment before walking forward to comfort him:
"The baby will be born safely, brother-in-law..."
Before she could say anything, she was suddenly frightened speechless by Wei Jingzhou's bloodshot and ferocious eyes, which looked like he wanted to eat someone.
"What I want is my wife's safety."
Wei Jingzhou withdrew his gaze, a storm of surprise surging in his dark pupils.
The voice was hoarse as if it had been polished by sandpaper.
Heavy and cold.
Listening to the cries of pain coming from inside, Wei Jingzhou's eyes turned red with heartache, and he no longer had any thoughts about other irrelevant people.
Even when the Marquis's wife hurried over, Wei Jingzhou did not react at all. He stood at the window and watched over her silently.
After more than three hours of agony, their eldest son was finally born.
Wei Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Lingshu reacted in time and caught him.
Seeing his appearance, the marquis's wife asked the wet nurse to take the little grandson away and take good care of him.
When everything was almost cleaned up, Wei Jingzhou quickly went into the inner room and stared at the tired and haggard person on the bed without blinking.
Ruan Guannan slept for a very long time and showed no signs of waking up until late at night.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the man sitting at the head of the bed, watching over her.
When Wei Jingzhou saw her wake up, his drooped eyes were full of tenderness and pity.
After not speaking for a long time, his voice became a little hoarse.
"Are you awake? Are you still in pain? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Wei Jingzhou was very worried.
Seeing that his current condition was not good, Ruan Guannan shook his head slightly.
"It doesn't hurt anymore..."
The voice he made was hoarser than Wei Jingzhou's, and carried the fatigue of exhaustion.
Seeing that she was obviously in pain but trying hard to say it wasn't painful, Wei Jingzhou felt so distressed.
He lowered his head and kept kissing the back of her hand, his eyes red as if he was about to cry.
He raised his voice and asked the people outside to bring the warm rice porridge, then he carefully helped the person up and leaned him against his shoulder.
He fed her with a spoon.
After she lay down again, the nurse brought the child in and placed him on the bed.
Looking at the tender little baby in the cradle, the hearts of the two new parents almost melted.
The two of them leaned their heads against each other and looked down at the sleeping little guy with gentle eyes.
Enjoying the warmth and peace of a family of three.
*
The direct line of the Marquis's mansion has a new heir, so it stands to reason that the third-day baptism ceremony and the full-month banquet should be held in a grand manner.
But now the situation is tense. Due to the harsh terrain, the barbarians from small countries often loot the towns on our border.
Causing massive casualties.
Before Nguyen Guan Nan finished her confinement, she heard that the imperial court had decided to send troops.
That day, Wei Jingzhou returned to the main house early, took the swaddling clothes from the wet nurse and held them in his arms.
The little ball has grown a lot and is now round and very cute.
Wei Jingzhou's eyes were full of tenderness and kindness.
It was not until bedtime that she reluctantly sent him to the next room.
Getting on the bed, Wei Jingzhou hugged Ruan Guannan tightly in his arms, nestled in her neck and said nothing.
Ruan Guannan's eyes curved slightly, and he raised his hand and gently hugged him back.
She rubbed her hands against his broad chest and asked softly, "When do we leave?"
Wei Jingzhou's arms suddenly tightened and his jawline tensed.
The sound seemed to be stuck in the depths of his throat, and after a long while his Adam's apple rolled, he finally uttered a few words in a hoarse voice.
"You knew already?"
Ruan Guannan's slender jade-white fingertips gently stroked his back, the sound was gentle and soft in the dim tent.
"At this critical moment, you and your father have been in the study all day. You can't be appreciating poetry and books, right?"
Wei Jingzhou's lips curled up slightly, and he held her hand tighter, unwilling to let go even a little bit.
"I, your husband, am a playboy. How could I possibly appreciate those flowery things?"
Ruan Guannan tilted his head back and met his deep, smiling eyes.
"Since you are a playboy, why do you still want to go to the battlefield?"
Wei Jingzhou's raised eyebrows suddenly drooped, his dark pupils stared blankly at her face, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ruan Guannan had no intention of pressing him.
Seeing his helpless and pitiful look, Ruan Guannan sighed slightly.
She raised her eyes to meet his and said softly, "Come back safely, okay?"
Wei Jingzhou's throat tightened and his nose felt sour.
He reached out and held her head back, rubbing his cheek against her hair, his eyes full of attachment and reluctance.
He reached out and lifted her chin, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Ruan Guannan reached out and hugged the back of his neck, responding to him eagerly.
The question just now was not answered, but was replaced by the man's increasingly red eyes and passionate kiss.
Amidst his rapid and disordered breathing, Wei Jingzhou's heart was filled with love surging wildly.
His dark pupils stared at the lover in front of him, kissing her devoutly and passionately.
The hot breaths blended together, burning each other's skin, and were extremely passionate.
Wei Jingzhou kissed her for a long time before he was reluctant to let go of her slightly swollen lips.
Without waiting for the person to get far away, he reached out and hugged the person tightly in his arms again.
Wei Jingzhou inserted his big hand into her hair and stroked it back and forth. The depths of his covered pupils were filled with forbearance and restraint, as well as an unconcealable pity.
The battlefield was changing rapidly, and Wei Jingzhou was unable to make a promise to her and could only choose to remain silent.
But if something happens to him...
His beloved is still so young and so dazzling, there must be many people who will hold her in their hands and take good care of her.
Wei Jingzhou felt bitter, but couldn't help but said in a hoarse voice:
"I will definitely come back to see you, but what if something happens..."
"I will talk to my mother in advance and ask her not to stop you from leaving."
Ruan Guannan looked up at him with surprise.
"You mean, I can remarry?"
The corners of Wei Jingzhou's mouth drooped, and after rolling his throat for a long time, he finally squeezed out a "hmm" from his mouth.
It was clearly his suggestion, but now he was so angry that his chest hurt.
Just thinking about the fact that in the future there will be another man replacing him and being gently called husband by her.
She would still be held intimately in the arms of that wild man like she is now.
Maybe they will have children in the future.
Wei Jingzhou's head was buzzing with anger, and he felt wronged for himself and his son.
His throat was choked with soreness.
"I haven't done anything yet, and you're already thinking about remarrying? You're such a cruel woman..."
The words he hadn't finished were suddenly stuck in his throat.
He stared blankly at the face that was getting closer, and his lips opened and closed for a long time but no sound came out.
Ruan Guannan raised his hand and stroked his deep brow bone and narrow and unrestrained eyes, then leaned over and placed a kiss on the small mole on the side of his nose.
Her voice was so soft that it seemed like water could drip out of it. She wrapped Wei Jingzhou in her whirlpool and stared at him with her eyes lowered.
"I don't ask you to be full of achievements, but I hope you can return safely."
"The children and I will be waiting for you at home."
Compared to before, this was the first time that Wei Jingzhou was looked at by her eyes full of tenderness and love.
It seemed as if there was only room for him in her eyes.
His blood boiled and his heart beat so fast that it seemed like it would burst through his chest at any time.
Ruan Guannan took out the thing under the pillow and handed it to him. Wei Jingzhou took it blankly, his lips slightly opened,
“Is this what you’re busy with these days?”
Ruan Guannan nodded.
"It contains the amulet that we both prayed for. I hope that every time my husband sees it, he will take more care of his own life."
In addition to what he prayed for from the temple, Ruan Guannan also spent his points to redeem the 'amulet' he had used before, which could help him resist a fatal attack.
Wei Jingzhou's Adam's apple rolled slightly, his eyes were dazed, and even his breathing was trembling imperceptibly.
"I will, ma'am..."
His dear...
It is neither a chameleon nor a warm jade.
But it is armor that keeps him physically and mentally stable.
