Chapter 471
Xie Xuanchenrealised that she was awake as he put her gently on the bed. Then, he touched the top of her head, Are you awake?
Mm.
Why did you fall asleep on the table? You should be careful in case you catch a cold. Does your shoulder hurt?
If left unmentioned, she didnt think much of it. However, once he said this, Mu Mingtang could feel that the back of her neck was indeed a little sore. Xie Xuanchen understood when he saw Mu Mingtangs expression. He sighed helplessly and kneaded the muscles in her shoulders and neck.
If you feel sleepy, go to sleep first. You dont have to wait for me.
Xie Xuanchen now bent his arms to support Mu Mingtang and slowly relaxed her shoulders and neck with his other hand. The two were so close that they could feel each others breath on their skin.
With that, Mu Mingtang really didnt dare to move. Xie Xuanchen put his arm around his wifes slender and soft waist as he continued to use his other hand to relax her shoulders and neck. The fragrance of Mu Mingtangs body came in waves. He felt a little bad for her needing to suffer uncomfortably by following him around like this, so he tried to control himself. Merely leaning on Mu Mingtangs shoulder, he inhaled her scent as he murmured to her, Sleep peacefully.
Mu Mingtang, though, was doubtful and said, Im still wearing my normal clothes, so I still need to change into my nightdress.
Ill change it for you when you fall asleep.
Mu Mingtang saw that coming from miles away, so she slapped Xie Xuanchens hand away in disgust and got up to change her clothes. However, the government office residence was severely damaged in the chaos. The screen was tattered and scratched, so Mu Mingtang had already asked the servants to move it out. After taking her outfit out from her suitcase did she realise that there wasnt a screen around to offer her privacy.
Mu Mingtang held the clothes in her hands, feeling a little embarrassed. Xie Xuanchen laid on the bed and looked at her leisurely, Why dont you change?
Mu Mingtang became angry and turned around to glare at him, Close your eyes.
I wont. If you have the ability, you can cover them for me.
