Chapter 387 - 0244 There are several types of "No" (2-in-1)

"I betrayed Miss, I couldn’t control myself," Xu Chang’an said remorsefully.

As his voice fell, Yun Qian paused for a moment, the curl of her body gradually unwinding.

She felt at ease.

Miss thought he meant it wasn’t a good dream, and assumed he was referring to it being unpleasant to be intimate with her.

Although Yun Qian did not think Xu Chang’an could be completely satisfied, she had tried her best.

It’s raining outside.

The rain poured forcefully onto the bluestone ground.

——

Betrayal.

This word, for Yun Qian, did not carry that much weight. It was far less significant than dislike or abandonment.

Inside, listening to the pouring rain, Yun Qian stared at Xu Chang’an and said, "You... had a third dream?"

Besides the intimacy and that strange dream, could there be a third dream where he betrayed her?

"Three? What three?" Xu Chang’an was confused: "I only had one dream."

"..." Hearing this, Yun Qian blinked her big eyes twice, suddenly realizing, and for the rare occasion showing a helpless expression, her pale fingers poked at Xu Chang’an’s waist beneath the quilt, while saying, "Things in dreams cannot be taken seriously, and there’s no need to tell me."

"How could that be?" Xu Chang’an grasped Yun Qian’s mischievous hand, shook his head, and earnestly said, "When you make a mistake, there’s no reason to hide it."

In his feelings for Miss, even a trace of sand should not taint them. For Xu Chang’an, even if it was a fleeting dream from a night’s drink, he would clarify it with Miss Yun.

"I thought it was something significant." Yun Qian stopped resisting as Xu Chang’an pinned the quilt beneath her hand, then relaxed her body, nestling against him, and seriously said, "Because of this small matter, I’ve lost my sleepiness."

Yun Qianxin thought her whole body ached, and she had wanted to nap again... but now awakened abruptly, she had no interest in sleeping.

"...Miss," Xu Chang’an sighed helplessly.

With Yun Qian leaning against him, he could feel her smooth long hair slipping into his collar along the force, coupled with Yun Qian’s slightly resentful expression, leaving Xu Chang’an puzzled as to how his confession turned into Miss fussing with him.

Despite the helplessness, after Yun Qian leaned in, Xu Chang’an still wrapped his arm around her waist, saying, "Small matter? How can it be called a small matter; today I dared to do such a thing in a dream, what’s to say I wouldn’t do worse tomorrow."

A room apart, stored away was the elixir Qinling had given him, the "delicate thing" to make a woman more beautiful, and who knows when his mischievous side might use it on her.

"I’m not concerned; rather than this matter... I’m hungry." Yun Qianxin thought she was completely spent now and needed to eat some breakfast carefully prepared by him to regain her strength.

"Miss, your temper is too good," Xu Chang’an rubbed his forehead with one hand.

"Should I be mad about this?" Yun Qian was perplexed.

Not to mention she didn’t know how to be jealous, even if she did, there would be no justification to be jealous of herself; moreover, in her current state, she had no excess energy to think about anything else.

All she wanted now was to melt into his embrace.

After all... after the ’ravaging,’ Yun Qian deeply appreciated Xu Chang’an’s tender embrace at this moment.

This should be akin to the saying ’absence makes the heart grow fonder.’

"It’s not that you should be angry..."

Xu Chang’an was about to say something else when Yun Qian interrupted.

"It’s good if not," Yun Qian lowered her head, glancing at the hand resting on her waist, her eyes flickering before she said, "Even those women in books, it’s rare for them to be angry over a dream... Did you want me to be petty like that?"

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Sigh.

"Petty is not the word, just sometimes, I wish Miss could be less generous," Xu Chang’an said truthfully.

"I ought not to be so generous." Yun Qian thought at least she didn’t want to share certain things, even if the possibility of having children was slim.

"You don’t get to decide," Xu Chang’an retorted.

"...Hmm," Yun Qian responded.

Xu Chang’an was momentarily lost for words.

He knew Yun Qian would not get angry over such minor matters, so he had deliberately used the word ’betrayal,’ a rather exaggerated term, and chose the time when most people get cranky in the morning to help Yun Qian understand the seriousness of the matter, even if it was just a hint of dissatisfaction.

Pain makes one remember.

Xu Chang’an believed that if Yun Qian showed even a hint of anger today, he would firmly stick to his principles when dreaming of such things in the future.

Even if it was just a look.

By then, if the girl in his dreams came to seduce him again, he only had to think of Yun Qian’s expression at that moment... and no thoughts would arise.

In the end, Miss Yun didn’t care at all.

Dissatisfaction?

She was indeed dissatisfied, but not because of his ’cheating,’ but because he disturbed her nap.

Deep in thought, Xu Chang’an suddenly felt something, and turned his head to see Yun Qian guiding his hand to her lower abdomen.

"Miss?"

"A dream is only a dream, but... after all, it’s still a dream," Yun Qian felt the warmth of her husband’s palm, her once pale face looked better now, she said, "Don’t be unhappy because of a dream."

"I’m quite pleased," Xu Chang’an shook his head, thinking he got away with everything, could he really complain now?
