Chapter 1114 About Nanny Wei’s Future
Shao Wanru sat before Chu Liuchen. Her dark hair had just been washed and combed, and Chu Liuchen was drying it up for her. Accidentally, he touched her arm, and Shao Wanru felt Chu Liuchen’s hand stiffen.
She stretched out her injured arm, gently pulled his sleeve, and comforted him softly with a smile, “The medicine from Mingqiu Nun and Doctor Qi is good. The wound has almost recovered. It won’t burst open if I don’t exert much strength.”
As she spoke, she exerted a little force and slightly pulled down the sleeve of his robe.
“Okay, I know. Stop pulling it, or my handkerchief will drop!” Chu Liuchen said helplessly. He reached out to touch her hair and found it was almost dry. Then he put down the handkerchief in his hand and led her to lie on his lap. Her black hair spread out.
He changed a comb and carefully combed her hair.
Shao Wanru opened her eyes and stared at his serious and handsome face. With great care, he combed her long hair. When there was a kink, he would straighten out her hair there. For fear that she would get hurt when he pulled her hair, he gently pinched the top of the kink before handling it with a comb.
Shao Wanru blinked her eyes and blinked again. Her eyes were full of tenderness. When she was reborn, she would never have imagined such a scene.
Everything in her previous life had gone with the wind. Even if there had been something between him and her, she could no longer remember it. Fortunately, she was blessed with a new life. In this life, he had walked into her heart without her noticing it, and his eyes were no longer the fierce and bloodthirsty ones in her memory.
She valued this man at the bottom of her heart, perhaps not merely in this life but also in her previous life!
Her vague and lost memory might be about him. Fortunately, in this life, they were together.
...
The rims of her eyes turned red unconsciously. The memory of her previous life was cut off when the part about him appeared.
“What’s wrong? Does it hurt?” Noticing that Shao Wanru’s eyes were red, Chu Liuchen put down the comb in his hand, gently pressed her forehead, and asked softly.
“No…” Tears suddenly rolled down from the corners of her eyes, slowly sliding down her fair and tender cheeks.
Chu Liuchen sighed softly. Suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed her pink and tender lips. At this moment, Shao Wanru froze.
All her senses and emotions surged out because of this warm kiss. Though with overwhelming emotion, he kissed cautiously. She could feel his heavy breath and unique scent with a faint smell of medicine, reminding Shao Wanru that the person before her was Chu Liuchen.
Her long eyelashes covered the excitement in her eyes. She could feel that his breath became increasingly hot, and he was tasting the corner of her mouth…
This posture was not comfortable. His chin pressed against her nose, and all her breaths seemed to have gathered on him. It became difficult for her to breathe. Yet, she felt incredibly relieved. Involuntarily, she wrapped her arms around Chu Liuchen’s neck. But after exerting strength, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. “Ah!” She cried out in a low voice.
Chu Liuchen moved his lips away from her cherry lips and stared at her with his pretty eyes still burning with passion. “What’s wrong? Did you get hurt?”
As he spoke, he gently lifted his hand and let her wide sleeves fall. He checked the white bandages around her wound and found nothing wrong. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Luckily, it’s fine.”
“I’m fine!” Shao Wanru bit her lip and muttered. At that moment, not only his but also her passion was aroused.
“May I continue?” Chu Liuchen’s eyes lit up. He looked at her watery eyes with his charming ones and asked in a gentle and elegant way, but for Shao Wanru, the meaning in his words was too embarrassing to be mentioned aboveboard.
...
Shao Wanru had never expected that he would ask such a question. Her face turned scarlet. Could he be more shameless? She pinched his hand hard with her uninjured hand.
“Well, I know. There will be a time for that. It’s not appropriate for us to do that now. So, let’s talk about it after your recovery,” Chu Liuchen said primly as if he were asking if she would like to take a meal.
Shao Wanru blushed furiously, biting her lip, and looked at Chu Liuchen as he said these shaming words gracefully.
Could he be even more shameless?
Chu Liuchen helped her pull back her sleeve, put her hand down gently, and placed it well. Then, he glanced at Shao Wanru’s burning face. After hesitating for a while, he couldn’t bear it anymore. He lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead. Then he raised his head and said in a very matter-of-fact way, “That’s all I can do now. Why haven’t you reached an adult age?”
Shao Wanru quickly closed her eyes, feeling too ashamed to look at him. How could he say such shameful and meaningful words so openly? Wasn’t he afraid of ruining his gentle and elegant reputation?
Well, he only had a reputation for being refined. What he had done had nothing to do with his reputation at all. His delicate appearance could only deceive those who met him for the first time. Whoever believed it and tried to take advantage of him would be in trouble.
“I’ve been waiting for a long, long time!” His sigh entered her ear, making her feel even more ashamed. How could he appear as if he had suffered a significant loss?
“You… How is the Empress Dowager? What about the table screen…” To avoid talking about this, Shao Wanru had to suppress her embarrassment and change the topic.
Hearing Chu Liuchen’s clear laughter, she knew he was laughing at her.
Shao Wanru pretended not to understand and continued to ask, “How is it going?”
...
She finally realized that she could never be as thick-skinned as Chu Liuchen, so she might as well change the topic and talk about something serious.
“Of course, someone intended to frame you up with the screen. First, they besieged our mansion to kill you. Then, there was the incident with the table screen. It was even related to Nanny Wei, who served my Imperial Grandmother. After all of this, you were drugged. Fortunately, you didn’t eat the rice and escaped the disaster. Anyway, the murder with poison happened.”
Chu Liuchen answered Shao Wanru.
Looking at her, Chu Liuchen knew she would become angry from embarrassment if he went on their previous talk. At this time, he had better stop before going too far, lest she got anxious and deliver him a blow. He was most experienced in stroking cats. That cat enjoyed his massage, didn’t it?
“How is Nanny Wei?” Shao Wanru’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly opened her watery eyes, looked into Chu Liuchen’s beautiful eyes, and asked subconsciously. Nanny Wei was actually a key figure.
How could such an important person become useless before doing anything critical?
“Imperial Grandmother demoted Nanny Wei’s rank, but she still serves my Imperial Grandmother. According to her, she had been serving the Empress Dowager for many years, so my Imperial Grandmother needed her for the time being. Besides, she was deceived by her nephew and deliberately misled you into choosing something the Empress Dowager didn’t like. She promised that she would never do it again!”
Chu Liuchen said with a faint smile.
When he went to the Palace of Benevolent Peace, Nanny Wei kept kowtowing to him, saying that she felt very reluctant to leave the Empress Dowager. At present, the Empress Dowager fell ill, and there was no proper servant to take good care of her. At this time, she would rather die than leave. Nanny Wei begged him for forgiveness.
When the Empress Dowager recovered in the future, she was willing to accept any punishment from her.
Chu Liuchen agreed on the spot.
...
“Did you leave her there on purpose?” Shao Wanru thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
“It was good to keep her there. She is in the open now, and it is easier for us to deal with her than those in the shadows. She was right about one thing: my Imperial Grandmother was in poor health, so she would feel uncomfortable if served by someone else. It was better for Nanny Wei to serve her. I would ask someone to keep an eye on her!” Chu Liuchen reached out and gently combed Shao Wanru’s hair again, with a trace of gloom in his eyes.
His black eyes looked bottomless and dark.
Shao Wanru didn’t see his eyes. She just thought for a moment and said, “That’s good!”
Nanny Wei was exposed, so she was better than those who acted under cover. Even if Nanny Wei persuaded the Empress Dowager to keep her, it would be inconvenient for her to say anything for Wei Dahai. After all, Wei Dahai was the cause of this matter.
As for the affairs in the imperial court and the siege of so many men in black in his mansion, Chu Liuchen would deal with them. Shao Wanru wouldn’t ask too much about these things. At present, she just needed to heal her wound and recuperate. Chu Liuchen would take care of other affairs.
Since Chu Liuchen returned to the mansion, Shao Wanru had been much more relaxed. It seemed that she didn’t have to worry about anything because Chu Liuchen was here.
Chu Liuchen helped her up and held her in his arms with a faint fragrance of medicine. Chu Liuchen’s chest wasn’t quite broad but was firm, which made her feel safe that secure. She knew she wasn’t all alone in the world. Leaning her head close to Chu Liuchen’s neck, she smelled his warm scent, feeling comfortable and languid. It seemed she had nothing to worry about because he was protecting her the whole time.
With his backing, she feared nothing. Whatever happened, she had someone to rely on.
This secure feeling was excellent, so good that Shao Wanru felt like crying. After her previous life, she ended up in this world. And in this life, she had been alone and had no one to depend on. What she wanted most was a warm and safe harbor, which could calm her down when she was nervous and fearful.
Sensing Shao Wanru’s dependence on him, Chu Liuchen reached out and held her tighter and tighter in his arms. Her fragrant and soft body filled the most delicate part of Chu Liuchen’s heart.
...
He had always been heartless. Since he could even abandon himself, what couldn’t he give up? But he cherished Shao Wanru, considering her more important than himself. He must be stronger to protect this beloved woman in his arms. He glanced at her injured arm, blaming himself for not being powerful enough and making Shao Wanru suffer so much!
He could go ahead with his continuous plans step by step. Since he had taken a fancy to that position, he wouldn’t give it to anyone else. To achieve his purpose, he wouldn’t hesitate to make a hell where blood flew in rivers.
A smile appeared in his eyes. If Shao Wanru saw this smile, she would find it both gentle and soul-stirring. A gorgeous young man, as beautiful as a picture, turned out to be so unearthly and chilling. Like a divine being climbing out of bloody hell, he appeared bloodthirsty and evil…
