Chapter 442 - 442 443 Absurdity
Chapter 442: Chapter 443 Absurdity Chapter 442: Chapter 443 Absurdity A crystal-clear voice instantly captivated Qi Yue’s gaze.
His distinct black and white phoenix eyes, every bit of tenderness and charm gathered at the corners of his eyes and brows, just one look and Qi Yue could no longer shift her eyes away.
“My lord, how did you come here?”
“You asked the same thing last night, why are you asking again?”
Zhao Xiyan spoke as he stretched his arm to embrace her, his other hand deftly pressing on her waist, gently kneading.
“Still tired?”
“What do you think?” Qi Yue lightly punched him while nestled in his embrace.
“Don’t worry, your husband will tend to you, just a good rub.”
The hand under the blanket began to become restless as it kneaded.
Qi Yue scratched his waist, half seriously and half pleadingly, “If you keep this up, I really won’t be able to take it anymore.”
In the past, to treat Zhao Xiyan’s leg injury, Qi Yue had used an entire batch of Thousand-Year Panax Notoginseng and White Rhino Horn essence on him.
Furthermore, with the daily nourishment of Spiritual Spring Water over these years, Zhao Xiyan’s energy and physical strength had become unmatched by ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, this fellow would be just like a normal person even if he didn’t sleep for half a month.
If you took a bowl of his blood, it could save someone’s life.
Even though Qi Yue’s energy also exceeded that of ordinary people, she could not compare with him.
A wild night was already her limit.
“It’s my fault.” Zhao Xiyan held her a bit tighter, his voice carrying a hint of apology, “I’ll remember that in the future.”
Qi Yue pursed her lips and said nothing.
It wasn’t Zhao Xiyan’s fault after all.
He was a man with energy beyond ordinary humans who had also been pent up for a month.
What about the future?
Could he really keep himself pure and be faithful to only her for a lifetime?
Wouldn’t that become unbearably tedious?
“It will be better in the future, as long as you are by my side, your husband won’t have to suffer so much…”
Her ears tingled pleasantly, and Zhao Xiyan’s lips pressed against hers again.
Qi Yue suddenly came back to her senses, her heart trembling…
This man really doesn’t listen!
…
The midday sun streamed through the window lattice, traversing the room.
The two people under the canopy were still intimately engaged, occasionally making heart-stirring sounds.
A startled ray of sunlight quickly flashed in front of the bed, then returned to the window.
Several young maids tiptoed into the courtyard, the leader holding a food box, quickly approaching the corridor.
“Stop!”
Qingzhu flashed out from behind a nearby tree, blocking their way.
“The master has not yet risen, please leave for now.”
The young maids looked at each other, concern appearing on their faces.
“Brother Qingzhu, the young master has not yet risen, is he feeling unwell? Let us go in and attend to him!”
“Yes, we’ve even brought lunch, the young master can have it as soon as he gets up.”
“…”
Qingzhu’s face darkened.
Allowing these girls to attend to their master and the Marquis?
That would blow their cover!
“Off you go, my master doesn’t need your attendance, move along or I might have to get tough!”
Regardless, the black flute in his hand, though a formidable weapon, did not intimidate the inexperienced maids as much as a knife would.
Therefore, they did not take his warning seriously and became even more boisterous.
“Brother Qingzhu, what are you doing? Attending to the young master is an order from the lord!”
“Exactly, the lord expressly instructed us to take good care of the young master. You’ve stopped us several times already this morning. If the lord blames us, we won’t let you off the hook!”
“…”
Qingzhu’s handsome face had already turned into a lump of charcoal.
As the leader of the Black Feather Order, ever since he was assigned to protect Qi Yue, he hadn’t encountered danger, but had been threatened by several young girls!
He wondered how he would teach these blind ones a lesson.
He had just touched the flute when he heard Qi Yue’s voice coming from inside the house.
“Qingzhu, let them put down the things and go back,”
Upon hearing Qi Yue’s movement, the young maids flitted towards the corridor eave like butterflies, reaching the door in just a few steps.
“Young master, you’ve awakened! Let us come in and help you dress and wash up!”
“Young master, I can help tidy up your bed…”
“…”
Qingzhu hummed disdainfully and put away the flute.
The intentions of these women were too obvious.
Unfortunately, the “young master” in their hearts and eyes was actually a woman!!
Besides, she would under no circumstances let others enter the room now!
Sure enough, after a moment of silence in the room, Qi Yue opened the door, looking refreshed.
She dismissed the young maids in a few words and took the food box inside.
“Please tell my uncle that I need to rest today. If there’s nothing urgent, do not come over. I have Qingzhu with me if anything arises.”
The young maids could only respond feebly, chatting quietly as they departed.
“Our young master looks good and is polite to us servants, but he’s just too aloof!”
“Exactly, I heard he’s not even betrothed yet!”
“Isn’t it better that he’s not betrothed? Little hooves, I saw your eyes nearly sticking to the young master…”
“…”
Qingzhu helplessly curled his lips.
…These women really dare to dream!
In the room, the figures of the two had already disappeared.
Qi Yue took the food box and pulled Zhao Xiyan into the space.
Some things were safer to discuss in the space.
Swiftly returning to the kitchen, she cooked two servings of dumplings, paired with the quaint small dishes the young maids had brought, and the two quickly resolved their hunger.
After the meal, as they discussed the current situation, Zhao Xiyan’s face was solemn, his first words were to urge Qi Yue to return with him.
“You want me to go back with you?”
“Yes, I’ve already made it very clear in my letter a few days ago. If you don’t return, I’ll come and take you back.”
Zhao Xiyan was righteous and tough, his beautiful phoenix eyes filled with firm determination.
Qi Yue hesitated, pondering how to persuade him.
“Husband, how about waiting a few days? I’ve only started half of the things here…”
“How is it only half,” Zhao Xiyan interrupted her, his eyes cool, “From what I see, you haven’t even started yet?”
Qi Yue fell silent.
There was no hiding anything from this man!
Still, she wanted to struggle a bit.
“…Otherwise, you go back first, and I’ll follow in a few days.”
“Impossible.” Zhao Xiyan was definitive, relaxing into the back of the sofa, sporting an attitude indicating he was not leaving.
Qi Yue was exasperated.
This man, how he grumped like a child.
“Then could you stay for a day or two? After all, the Longnan County Government can’t do without you… Oh right, I’ve been asking you for half a day now, how are things on your end since you came over so suddenly…”
She leaned close to the man, smiling coaxingly, but Zhao Xiyan did not fall for her tricks, even turning his face aside.
“If you want to know, then come back with me! I won’t go back alone…”
Watching Zhao Xiyan act petulantly, Qi Yue playfully lifted the corner of her lips.
“You don’t need to say it; I know you came because the situation on all fronts is excellent, right?”
“You know nothing and don’t think about me at all,” Zhao Xiyan pouted, turning his body away.
What do you think?
