Chapter 1879

Chapter 1879: The Second Day Chapter 1879: The Second Day Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Xuan was left speechless.

“I’m not pretending,” she insisted.

“I just feel like resting a bit longer.” Even in defeat, she refused to admit defeat.

Despite his unreasonable behavior, she tried to see reason in it.

Shao Yunduan didn’t argue, merely smiling.

“You slept from yesterday afternoon till now.

Do you still want to rest?” “What!” Qiao Xuan’s eyes widened.

Was it already the next day?

The brightness of the sun confirmed it.

She realized her perception was skewed; late autumn meant shorter days and longer nights.

She had thought she slept for a significant period with the Elder, but apparently not.

Shao Yunduan noticed her shock, his smile widening.

Qiao Xuan composed herself, refusing to give in.

She couldn’t let him think he’d won.

So she blinked and replied calmly, “I know, but I could still use a bit more rest.” Wanting to say, “I’m just tired and need more sleep,” she changed her words, fearing it might stroke his ego too much.

Shao Yunduan chuckled softly, pinching her cheeks affectionately before enveloping her in his arms.

His voice lowered, carrying a note of sternness.

“Promise me, no more recklessness.

Do you understand the danger?

Think of our son and me.” He had placed too much trust in her, never imagining she’d act so boldly without consulting him first.

The moment he heard the news, a chilling fear gripped him, his heart plunging like it had been struck by lightning.

He dared not contemplate the consequences.

Those mountain bandits lacked even the Fourth Prince’s limited restraint.

If she fell into their hands, the suffering she’d endure was unimaginable.

He wouldn’t blame her, but he couldn’t sway public opinion.

And what if?

What if he couldn’t reach her in time?

He swiftly dispatched guards and headed to Bright Moon Villa, determined to protect her without alarming her, though his heart seethed with silent reprimand.

Although he chastised himself inwardly, Shao Yunduan couldn’t bring himself to forcefully stop her from leaving the city.

So, he silently reproached himself.

This woman dared to be so bold, and he bore some responsibility for it.

Hearing his words, Qiao Xuan felt a pang of guilt, her heart softening.

She reached out, wrapping her arms around his waist, and nestled her head against his chest.

“I understand, my love.

I promise, I won’t put myself in harm’s way.

With Ah-Ye and Ben Lei by my side, along with the guards, I can ensure my safety.

I couldn’t bear to put you and our son at risk.” “I want to support you,” she continued earnestly.

“I don’t trust Fan Ruyin’s intentions, inviting us for a meal.

I just want to see what she’s plotting, what the Fan Family is up to.

Until these matters are resolved, we won’t truly be safe.

I know my limits.” Shao Yunduan’s touch was gentle as he stroked her hair.

“Alright, I’ll trust you from now on.

But promise me, you won’t do something like this again, understood?” He truly had no other choice.

He couldn’t confine her to their home and deny her freedom.
