Chapter 439: Between you and me, why bother with so much
Shen Qionghua stayed in Lin Wanru's courtyard for a whole day, watching her decide everything from what clothes to wear tomorrow, what headgear to wear, how to style her hair, and then ordering the maids and servants to clean the house from top to bottom and replace the teacups for guests with new ones...
If Shen Qionghua had not dissuaded her in time, she would have even replaced the set of rosewood tables and chairs in the living room.
It was Shen Qionghua who was getting married, but Lin Wanru was even more nervous than her.
Shen Qionghua stayed with Lin Wanru until she had prepared everything. She accompanied her to finish her meal and helped her digest the food. Only when it was completely dark did she return to her room.
After Shaoyao helped her wash and bathe, she blew out the lights, drew together the bed curtains, closed the quilt, and lay down on the bed.
The room was pitch black, and the sound of steady breathing was infinitely amplified in the quiet night, accompanied by the occasional sound of turning over.
After a long time, Shen Qionghua sighed helplessly in the darkness and rubbed his swollen temples.
I'm obviously exhausted today, but for some reason I feel a little upset and can't sleep.
But there are important things to do tomorrow, so I have to sleep.
Shen Qionghua forced herself to close her eyes and clear her mind, hoping to fall asleep quickly.
I don’t know how long it took, but just when Shen Qionghua was a little dazed, she heard a slight creaking sound in the dark.
That was the sound of the window opening.
Shen Qionghua suddenly opened her eyes. The door was clearer than ever before. She sat up suddenly, turned sideways to lift the bed curtain, and saw that the window frame in the room was wide open. A tall and broad figure was standing by the window, supporting himself with his hands and slowly lowering the window pane.
The moonlight poured in through the gaps, illuminating Xie Nanyuan's handsome face.
Shen Qionghua gritted his teeth secretly. Is he addicted to sneaking into women's boudoirs?
Shen Qionghua watched helplessly as the window pane fell, and the room was plunged into darkness again.
There was a rustling sound in the house, and then a fire was lit.
Xie Nanyuan held a tinder in his hand, strode briskly, and walked skillfully to the candlestick beside the table. He lit the candle, blew out the tinder, put it away, and put it back into his sleeve.
During the entire process, there was no awareness of sneaking into a woman's boudoir. Shen Qionghua was so skillful and at ease that she felt dazed for a moment, as if she was not in the Shen family, not in her own boudoir, but in the Prince Rui's Mansion, in Xie Nanyuan's house.
Otherwise, how could this man enter her boudoir so calmly and light the candle himself?
This is her boudoir, right?
Shen Qionghua frowned and stared at Xie Nanyuan with her eyes, as if she wanted to see through Xie Nanyuan's face to see how thick it was underneath.
Xie Nanyuan held the candlestick and slightly turned sideways, meeting Shen Qionghua's eyes.
He was slightly stunned, then smiled.
How should I put it? That smile contained three parts of surprise and seven parts of pride. He said, "You're still up so late? I knew you were waiting for me."
Shen Qionghua: “…”
Shen Qionghua twitched the corners of her mouth and spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "Your Highness, you are being too self-indulgent. You clearly woke me up."
"Your Highness is becoming more and more capable now. Even after being caught sneaking into a woman's bedroom, he still managed to remain so confident and calm. I really admire him."
Okay...you're calling me Prince again.
It seems that he is a little angry.
Xie Nanyuan hurriedly took a few steps closer and sat down beside Shen Qionghua's bed. He said awkwardly, "I was a little nervous and couldn't sleep tonight, so I thought of coming to see you."
"Besides, I guessed that you must be too nervous to sleep, so I lit the candle and wanted to talk to you."
Well, now he has a status and is no longer the kind of person who is ashamed to be seen in public.
It’s not too much to light a candle for yourself, right?
"You guessed wrong. I wasn't nervous at all. I fell asleep, but you woke me up." Shen Qionghua said stiffly with a stern face.
Xie Nanyuan choked, knowing that this was a fight with him.
"Okay, whatever you say is what it is. It's all my fault."
He put down the candlestick in his hand, and while watching Shen Qionghua's face, he secretly hooked Shen Qionghua's hand that was resting on the quilt and shook it gently. "Besides, there's no need to worry about so much between you and me. When the sun rises, our relationship will be determined."
