Chapter 241: Jiajia Was Caught Climbing into Bed

Ah Xun seemed to be very dissatisfied with this statement. He pouted and said, “No, I didn’t know that she was your wife at first, let alone that the rumored Heir of Duke Song, whose legs were crippled, would appear in Xunyang.”

If he had known earlier, he would not have left with that group of refugees in the first place. He would not have suffered so many beatings for no reason. Wouldn’t it have been better to come to Xunyang directly?

At first, he thought that Shen Yijia’s husband was one of Xunyang’s soldiers.

On the other hand, those people chasing after him were relentless. As a child, he could not defeat them at all. If he continued to follow the refugees, he would either starve to death or be hunted down by those people.

Thus, he decided to follow Shen Yijia to Xunyang. Didn’t they say that the most dangerous place was usually the safest?

Those people who wanted to kill him definitely didn’t expect him to dare to run into Xunyang, but they didn’t expect the heavens to help him.

As for his guess about Shen Yijia’s identity, it was only after he opened the city gate that he confirmed his guess.

It was impossible for Lord An Le to marry at his age. Other than Song Jingchen, who was dragged into this mess with him, he couldn’t think of anyone else who would come when Lord An Le was in trouble.

Song Jingchen was not interested in what he knew. He only said, “Then you should know why I’m here.”

“I know. I waited for you for the same reason.” Ah Xun shook his head innocently.

The two men chatted in the room for an hour. Song Jingchen called South Wind to the study and handed him a letter. He gave him a few instructions before returning to the bamboo courtyard.

He stood at Shen Yijia’s door for a long time. He wanted to go in, but he was afraid that he would wake her up. In the end, he did not push open the door.

Song Jingchen didn’t know that as soon as he approached Shen Yijia’s room, she closed her eyes.

She thought that she could pretend to be asleep after he came in. Then, she wouldn’t have to chase him away just to act like she was angry.

Shen Yijia thought happily. She could hug her beautiful husband to sleep without affecting her anger.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, he did not hear the door open. Instead, he heard footsteps gradually disappear, followed by the sound of the door next door opening and closing.

Shen Yijia was dumbfounded.

Why was this different from what the book said?

“Why won’t you do what I want?” Shen Yijia punched the bed board angrily.

There was a moment of silence.

The sound of the night watchman striking the gong was especially obvious in the quiet night. A black shadow left the residence through the back door and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yijia tossed and turned in bed until the gong sounded for the third time.

She jumped out of bed and carefully put on her shoes before leaving.

As soon as she opened the door,she saw a pair of eyes that emitted a dim light in the night.

Shen Yijia was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat.

When she saw who it was, she felt inexplicably guilty. Ever since she came here, she had been focused on her beautiful husband and had forgotten about Furball.

Furball was not familiar with the people here, and it was unknown when it had crawled to her door.

After some thought, Shen Yijia opened the door and waved at Furball. The two of them entered the room. Shen Yijia squatted down and stroked its head. She muttered softly, “You want to sleep here tonight, right?”

“But if you sleep here, where will I sleep?”

“Sigh, I have no choice. I can only make do with my beautiful husband.”

“I didn’t want to go. It’s because you occupied my room.”

Shen Yijia muttered to herself for a long time and felt that she had a reason. She left Furball in the room and walked out.

Furball thought, “Master, I thought you had found your conscience, but you still wanted to use me. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Seeing the door close again, Furball gritted its teeth and looked sharply at the bed in the room. It jumped onto the bed.

Shen Yijia rubbed her hands and came to Song Jingchen’s room. She leaned her ear close to the door and listened for a long time, but she didn’t hear anything inside.

He should be asleep.

Her eyes shone with excitement as she gently pushed open the door.

She stood on tiptoe and slowly squeezed in, closing the door again.

The room was dark, but she could still see a person lying on the bed.

Shen Yijia bared her teeth proudly. It was even better if her beautiful husband was asleep. She could run away after sleeping.

However, she was not afraid of being discovered. She had a legitimate reason.

Although she thought this, she did not dare to make a sound. She quietly approached the bed.

Song Jingchen slept on the side further from the wall. If she wanted to sleep, she had to cross over his body.

Shen Yijia blinked, took off her shoes, and climbed into bed. She raised one foot and crossed over Song Jingchen’s body. Unexpectedly, the person who was sleeping suddenly rolled over.

Shen Yijia was so frightened that she immediately closed her eyes and did not dare to move.

Fortunately, Song Jingchen only turned over and didn’t wake up.

Shen Yijia had just heaved a sigh of relief when she suddenly slipped and sat on Song Jingchen’s waist.

Song Jingchen grunted from the impact.

Shen Yijia froze.

She felt the air freeze for a few breaths. Suddenly, she heard the muffled laughter of the person under her.

Shen Yijia’s eyes widened. If she still didn’t understand that Song Jingchen had woken up long ago, she would really be stupid.

She was about to explain that Furball had taken over her room when he grabbed her wrist. She felt the world spin.

She took a closer look and saw that she and Song Jingchen had already fallen, but Song Jingchen was lying on her.

Shen Yijia’s face turned red when she was caught red-handed. She snorted and turned her head away from Song Jingchen.

Song Jingchen found it funny and didn’t dare to anger her. If this girl flew into a rage and ran away, it wouldn’t be worth it.

He turned around and lay back on the bed. He hugged Shen Yijia tightly and rested his chin on the top of her head. She coaxed softly, “I know you’re still angry. You only came over because Furball occupied your room.”

“Hmph, it’s good that you know,” Shen Yijia said without much confidence. She seriously suspected that it was her beautiful husband who instructed Furball to appear at her door.

It didn’t matter.

She enjoyed this moment.

Song Jingchen chuckled and stroked Shen Yijia’s black hair. He lowered his head and kissed her head. “Go to sleep.”

The corners of Shen Yijia’s lips curled up. She reached out to hug Song Jingchen’s waist and closed her eyes to sleep.

It was a dreamless night.

The next morning, Shen Yijia woke up first. She looked up and saw Song Jingchen’s handsome face.

For a moment, she thought she was back in Xiagou Village, but the unfamiliar room told her otherwise.

It was only when she looked at Song Jingchen up close that Shen Yijia realized that he was very haggard. He had clearly slept for the entire night, but there were still dark circles under his eyes. Even when he was sleeping, he was frowning.

Her heart ached as she reached out to gently smooth his wrinkles. She sighed softly.

She was about to retract her hand when someone grabbed it.

Meeting Song Jingchen’s half-smile, Shen Yijia blushed again.

“You started it,” Song Jingchen suddenly said.

Shen Yijia was stunned for a moment before she realized that he was referring to what she had said yesterday about not allowing him to touch her.
