Chapter 225: It Shouldn’t Sleep On The Bed Anymore
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At that moment, as Xiao Nanye approached the bed, Xiao Bai lying next to Jiang Peihuan opened its eyes.
However, upon recognizing that the intruder was Xiao Nanye, it closed its eyes again.
Jiang Peihuan, on the other hand, didn’t wake up even when Xiao Nanye sat down by her bed.
The darkness didn’t hinder Xiao Nanye’s vision. As he gazed at Jiang Peihuan on the bed, his eyes softened.
Admiring Jiang Peihuan’s beautiful face, he couldn’t help but reach out and gently touch her cheek.
That touch made Jiang Peihuan open her eyes.
Seeing Xiao Nanye sitting beside her bed, she was somewhat dazed.
“Xiao Nanye, can you actually enter my dreams?”
When Jiang Peihuan opened her eyes, Xiao Nanye was startled, feeling like a child caught doing something mischievous. But her words left him dumbfounded.
After a moment, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Do you really think this is a dream?”
He reached out to her again.
But this time, Jiang Peihuan grabbed his hand.
“Xiao Nanye?”
It took her a few seconds to realize that this wasn’t a dream and that he had indeed sneaked into her room.
Sitting up, Jiang Peihuan looked at the man beside her bed with disbelief.
Meeting her gaze, Xiao Nanye felt a rare moment of awkwardness. “Did I wake you up?”
“I just wanted to see you. I won’t disturb you.”
As he finished speaking, he prepared to leave, but Jiang Peihuan grabbed his sleeve.
Facing his puzzled look, she whispered, “There’s a snowstorm outside. Wait it out here.”
Han Feng, who was standing on the tree outside and facing the wind and snow, heard the conversation in the room. His eyes were filled with resentment.
But soon, Han Feng stopped complaining because Jiang Peihuan’s door was opened a crack. Then, a white figure was thrown out.
Xiao Bai, who was tossed out, rolled a few times in the snow. Then, with wide eyes, it looked confusedly at Xiao Nanye at the door.
“If you dare to sleep on the bed again, I’ll skin you alive.”
After saying that, Xiao Nanye closed the door.
Realizing it had been left outside, Xiao Bai rushed to the door, scratching it desperately.
Han Feng, who was on the tree, saw this scene and quickly flew down to held Xiao Bai in his arms.
Seeing that Xiao Bai was tired to escape, Han Feng said in a soft voice,” I advise you not to disturb Master and Eldest Miss. Otherwise, your wolf skin will really be peeled off.”
Perhaps understanding Han Feng’s words or feeling too cold, Xiao Bai shivered.
Smiling, Han Feng tucked Xiao Bai into his cloak.
Seeing Xiao Bai trying to escape, Han Feng said with a smile, “Just stay inside my cloak. While it’s not as warm as the eldest miss’s bed, it’s still warm.”
“Moreover, I’m quite bored up in this tree alone. Keep me company.”
Afterward, a man and a wolf silently crouched in the tree, watching the door to Jiang Peihuan’s room.
Inside the room.
Jiang Peihuan, now on her bed, looked at the closed door and was speechless.
Looking at the man sitting by her bed, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why on earth did you throw Xiao Bai out?”
“It shouldn’t sleep on the bed anymore.”
“Why?”
Having Xiao Bai’s warmth, Jiang Peihuan always felt cozier in bed.
“Because it shouldn’t.”
Facing Jiang Peihuan’s puzzled look, the man cleared his throat and continued, “If it gets into the habit, it’ll probably always want to sleep on the bed.”
“Are you suggesting that after our wedding, 1 should make room for it?”
His voice filled with lament, Xiao Nanye’s eyes showed a hint of jealousy.
He wouldn’t admit it, but he was jealous.
He hadn’t even laid down on Jiang Peihuan’s bed yet. Why should a wolf like Xiao Bai get to?
Jiang Peihuan always felt there was something off about Xiao Nanye’s words, but she couldn’t pinpoint the issue immediately.
She didn’t want to dwell on the topic of whether to sleep or not with Xiao Nanye, so she brought up the matter of the gifts bestowed upon her by Emperor Qi Ming.
Looking at the man by her bedside, Jiang Peihuan softly said, “I asked Chief Eunuch Wang, and he mentioned it was due to you. What did you do to make the Emperor grant me these gifts?”
Hearing this, Xiao Nanye raised an eyebrow.
Smiling gently at Jiang Peihuan, he replied, “Since the Emperor has given you a gift, just accept it.”
“I didn’t do much. 1 just sent him a cloak from the storeroom.”
Jiang Peihuan was speechless.
Whether it was in her past life or this one, she had always heard of Emperor Qi Ming’s extreme fondness for his only brother, Xiao Nanye. She hadn’t believed it before, but now she truly did.
After chatting a bit more, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but yawn continuously.
Seeing her continuous yawning, Xiao Nanye stood up, then said to Jiang Peihuan, “You should rest. I’ll be leaving now.”
Truly feeling drowsy, Jiang Peihuan nodded in agreement.
Watching Jiang Peihuan lie down, Xiao Nanye carefully draped the blanket over her and then quietly exited the room.
Just as Xiao Nanye stepped out, Han Feng, holding Xiao Bai, descended from the tree.
“Master, are we leaving now?” Han Feng asked, worried he might freeze to death on that tree if they lingered any longer.
“Yes, let’s go.”
Seeing Xiao Nanye’s nod, Han Feng’s eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly followed.
As they reached the wall, it seemed Han Feng remembered something. He took Xiao Bai out from his cloak and placed it on the ground. Xiao Nanye gave it a glance before departing with Han Feng.
Xiao Bai, left behind, immediately ran to Jiang Peihuan’s door. It carefully pushed the door open with its paws and dashed in.
In her drowsy state, Jiang Peihuan faintly heard some movement. Opening her eyes, she saw Xiao Bai lying beside her. Remembering what that man had said, Jiang Peihuan looked at Xiao Bai with a full smile.
“Xiao Bai, go to sleep.
She stroked its head, then closed her eyes.
Outside the General Manor.
Zuo Ma sat in a carriage. Even though there had been a coal fire in the carriage, it had long since died out, making her feel so cold her hands were stiffening.
Just as she was considering whether to leave or not, she heard her maid’s excited voice, “Princess, King Cheng has come out.”
Hearing the announcement, Zuo Ma immediately lifted the curtain and, upon seeing Xiao Nanye on horseback, her eyes filled with excitement.
Turning her gaze, Zuo Ma stared intently at the general’s mansion.
As for all these matters, Jiang Peihuan remained oblivious. Perhaps winter really was a season to sleep deeply, as she slept soundly until daylight.
“Eldest Miss, are you awake?”
