“Where should I, the groom, go on my wedding night?”
Feng Tianlan hesitated to leave.
Gu Qingluan chuckled lightly, her eyes gleaming with playfulness as she assessed him. “Did you forget that our marriage is just for show?”
Feng Tianlan’s expression stiffened.
With recent events and the change in Gu Qingluan’s attitude towards him, he had indeed forgotten this fact. Fie thought they were truly married, and from today on, she would be his wife.
Seeing his expression, Gu Qingluan knew he had indeed forgotten. She took advantage of the situation, feeling quite pleased. Her peach-blossom eyes curved elegantly as she glanced at the door behind him with the words “Double Happiness” attached to it. “Prince Lan, feel free to leave. I won’t be seeing you off!”
Feng Tianlan snapped back to reality and also chuckled. “Although it’s a fake marriage, if I remember correctly, we can’t let others know it’s fake. So, on this wedding night, I cannot leave the bridal chamber empty, or it might raise suspicions.”
This time, it was Gu Qingluan’s turn to be speechless.
Feng Tianlan scored a point, and a faint smile curled on his lips.
“You’re right. In that case, Prince Lan will sleep on the chaise lounge.”
With a gentle sweep of her hand, the canopy curtain slid down, covering the view of the bed.
Looking at the bed now securely concealed by the canopy, Feng Tianlan fell into a brief silence.
Well, even though they wouldn’t share the same bed tonight, sharing the same room was a step forward.
Someday, half of that bed would belong to him.
Silently, Feng Tianlan made his way to the chaise lounge near the window.
Inside the canopy curtain, Gu Qingluan listened with bated breath for a moment, making sure Feng Tianlan didn’t approach any closer. She quietly sighed in relief.
As she lay in bed, the thought of having a man in the same room made her somewhat uncomfortable.
She turned over a couple of times, feeling like she might have trouble sleeping tonight.
However, she fell asleep without realizing it.
Meanwhile, lying on the chaise lounge, Feng Tianlan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
Gu Qingluan sensed a familiar presence drawing near and thought, “This man really can’t resist! Sneaking up on me while I’m asleep!”
She abruptly opened her eyes and saw Feng Tianlan holding two children. She couldn’t help but be stunned.
Feng Tianlan said in a calm voice, “I was afraid they would wake up.”
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help feeling both amused and annoyed.
“If you’re afraid they’d wake up, why did you bring them to the next room?”
“It’s the wedding night; there shouldn’t be sons in the bridal chamber,” Feng Tianlan replied confidently.
Gu Qingluan was left speechless.
She reached out to take her son, and her peripheral vision caught the changing light around her. She looked up and glanced outside.
Through the paper door, the daylight outside was bright.
Had she slept until the next day?
“Just past the ninth hour, if you want to sleep a bit longer, go ahead,” Feng Tianlan said.
After all, he held the highest authority here, and there were not so many formalities to follow. On the first day of their wedding, there was no need for her to perform the tea ceremony for her in-laws like other brides.
Gu Qingluan was surprised. “It’s already past the ninth hour?”
Feng Tianlan smiled and nodded. “Yes.”
“I won’t sleep anymore,” Gu Qingluan replied as she settled her two sons and prepared to get up.
Seeing him still standing there, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “I need to change. Aren’t you going to leave for a while?”
Feng Tianlan stared at her with an ambiguous expression, which irritated Gu Qingluan. Only when she showed signs of getting angry did he turn around and leave.
As Gu Qingluan thought about her future life with him, she suddenly felt like she had dug her own grave.
Was it too late to change her mind now?
Not long after Gu Qingluan finished changing and freshening up, her two sons woke up one after the other.
They were surprised to find her not in bed, and they quickly got up. When they saw Gu Qingluan at the dressing table, combing her hair, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking that they had spent the entire night with their mother, their little faces turned rosy, and they greeted her enthusiastically.
“Good morning, Mother!”
Gu Xiaonan greeted her energetically, followed by Feng Yuanxi.
Gu Qingluan smiled at them as she inserted a hairpin into her hair. “Good morning!”
Seeing the innocent and cheerful expressions of her two sons, Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but feel a rush of tenderness.
Poor sons, they probably thought they spent the entire night sleeping with her on the same bed..
