Mo Qian’er knew that the place Lu Fenying was staying in was freezing. Gu Bailu had done it on purpose.
Although she didn’t feel sorry for him, she didn’t want to see him tortured.
After all, he was her master. Even if she was disappointed, she actually truly didn’t hate him at all.
She probably had been a slave for too long.
“Mo Qian’er, what’s with your attitude?!” Lu Fenying slapped the table and stood up, staring at her coldly.
He had held back at Mo Qian’er’s indifferent tone for a long time.
Although it was still soft and wasn’t aggressive, it sounded unpleasant to the ear.
“Your Highness, what’s wrong?” Mo Qian’er frowned in confusion.
She was doing a good job and was treating him well. He wanted to stay, so she had a maid serve him tea.
Worried that he would be cold, she told him that there was a stove in the house.
She was truly a qualified slave.
She didn’t know why he was angry.
Lu Fenying’s breath got stuck in his chest. What could he say?
That he didn’t like her like this, and wanted her to face him with emotions?
Or that she could be as scared of him as before?
But how could he say that?
Lu Fenying was very angry, but he still sat on the couch next to the bed, his face frighteningly cold.
Mo Qian’er got up, and the maid helped her back to the bed. The imperial doctor had told her that she needed to lie down more.
She had planned to read on the couch, but now that Lu Fenying had claimed it, she could only go back to the bed.
She still didn’t understand why Lu Fenying was angry.
Looking from the bed, Lu Fenying’s face was illuminated by the snow outside the window. His facial features were extremely beautiful. It was undeniable that Lu Fenying was an extremely beautiful man.
She had liked his face the moment she saw him.
That was probably why she had been able to endure so much abuse.
Sometimes, when she was very weary, seeing the satisfaction on his face made it all worth it.
Of course, that wouldn’t happen again.
Mo Qian’er could tell that he was in a bad mood. She sighed and didn’t intend to say anything; if she did, he might get even angrier.
“Get ready. We’re going back tomorrow.”
Lu Fenying couldn’t stand the cold anymore.
Mo Qian’er frowned. In her heart, she was very reluctant to go back, but she said, “Alright.”
Mr. Xiao was still in Prince Zi’s residence, and given how much Lu Fenying hated him, Lu Fenying certainly wouldn’t stay any longer.
Mo Qian’er felt conflicted at the thought of leaving tomorrow. Compared with the crown prince’s residence, Prince Zi’s residence was more like her home.
If possible, she wanted to stay here forever.
Of course, that was only “if.”
Lu Fenying walked over, bent over to pick her up, and carried her to the couch. He looked at her and asked, “Why? You don’t want to go back?”
She had said yes, but her face clearly wasn’t as calm, and was a little unhappy.
“No. Your Highness wants me to go back; of course I’ll go.”
She couldn’t escape, and he wouldn’t let her go. She was still the only woman who could give him a baby, and her only choice was to go back with him.
“Is there nothing you want to say?” Lu Fenying asked.
Leaning into his embrace, Mo Qian’er thought for a moment and said, “Your Highness, I don’t want to live in the main courtyard after we go back. I want to live in a separate courtyard.”
“That’s all?”
Mo Qian’er thought for a moment. “Send more guards to watch over me. I hope the baby will be born smoothly.”
Lu Fenying nodded. “Alright.”
