Wasn’t she sleeping? How come the bedroom door is open while sleeping?
After changing his shoes, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes!
"Sister Wang, how was the young madam at home today?"
"She’s been fine. She went out with the lady at noon and came back in high spirits, feeling very good," Sister Wang said, skirting around the main issue.
She actually wanted to say something else, but she feared that her words might stir trouble in the family and disrupt their harmony.
Fortunately, after hearing what she said, the young master did not ask further. He changed his shoes and went straight upstairs.
The temperature on the 28th of the twelfth month was actually very low, especially in A City. As night fell, the heavy hoarfrost descended like snow, making it astonishingly cold with just a crack in the door or window.
Yet, when Ou Mucen came upstairs, he saw that although the bedroom was open, there was no one inside. Instead, at the end of the hallway, in the direction of the balcony, he saw a figure sitting there.
Slim, slender, lonely...
Just like an abandoned cat, she sat there in such cold weather, not moving at all.
What was she doing? In such cold weather?
Ou Mucen frowned and walked over. Feeling the chill of the hoarfrost, he hadn’t yet reached her when he took off the coat bearing his body warmth, "Why are you sitting here? It’s so cold."
As his voice of dissatisfaction fell, the warm coat in his hands was draped over her.
In the wheelchair, the girl was staring blankly at the night sky outside the balcony. Suddenly hearing the voice behind her, she turned around to see a familiar-smelling coat already covering her.
"Husband, you’re back?" Turning her head, she saw clearly the man standing in front of her. In just a second, the worried frown on her face disappeared, replaced by a sweet smile.
Ou Mucen reached out, took her hands into his palms to feel them, and noticing they were chillingly cold, his handsome face grew stern, "You’re grown up now, how do you still not know how to take care of yourself? Running out here without enough clothes in such cold weather?"
Ye Ning looked at her hands held by his, with sparkling joy in her eyes, "I was watching for you."
"Yeah, waiting to see when you would come back."
She looked up at the man bending over before her, feeling the chill from outside that he brought with him. So she withdrew one hand and reached for his handsome face, "Are you cold?"
What do you think? His face was turning into an icicle with her touching it, could it not be cold?
Ou Mucen, looking into her bright eyes that shone like jewels and seeing the care and joy in them, warmed inexplicably inside and blurted out an insincere lie, "Not cold at all!"
Ye Ning smiled, "Really not cold?"
"Then sit with me for a while. I think the night is lovely tonight. Look, there are even stars above!"
What nonsense, stars in the middle of winter?
The man who finally realized he had been tricked, his handsome face darkening, stood up. Without any room for negotiation, he pushed her back from the balcony, "Didn’t you say you were sleeping? When did you wake up?"
"Not long before you arrived," she replied.
