Chapter 406: Satisfied

Having just come out of combat, even though Mu Yangling knew that it was safe in the General’s Residence, her combat awareness was still hidden in her body. Hence, the moment Qi Haoran approached, he was kicked by Mu Yangling before he could even touch her. Fortunately, Qi Haoran was quick to react and leaned back to dodge it. Otherwise, with Mu Yangling’s strength, he would definitely have to lie down for three days even if his bones did not break.
Qi Haoran sat on the ground and stared blankly at Mu Yangling, who was sitting on the brick bed.
Mu Yangling opened her eyes in a daze and glanced at Qi Haoran. After confirming that it was safe, she immediately closed her slightly opened eyes and lay down on the brick bed. She lifted the blanket and continued sleeping.
Qi Haoran, who was about to shout, shut his mouth again. He got up and stood by the brick bed to look at her for a long time. In the end, he poked her face with his finger and quickly retracted it. Seeing that she did not react, he knew that she was no longer on guard.
Qi Haoran lay on the brick bed and secretly kissed her face. Only then did he lie down at the side in satisfaction and close his eyes to sleep.
When Mama Wang opened the door and entered, she saw Qi Haoran lying outside the brick bed with his wet hair. She exclaimed and hurriedly went forward to pull him up. Seeing that Mu Yangling was sleeping soundly, she reprimanded in a low voice, “Fourth Young Master, why are you lying here? Hurry up and go back to your room. What if others find out? You and Miss Mu aren’t married yet.”
“But we’re engaged,” Qi Haoran said unhappily.
“Engagement is not marriage. You have to get married before you can be considered husband and wife. Hurry up and get out. Otherwise, if Eldest Master finds out, he’ll whip you.” Mama Wang pushed Qi Haoran out. Seeing that he had wet hair, she said, “How do your servants serve you? Fei Bai is getting more and more lazy. How could he let you out like this? What if you get sick when the wind blows?”
Mama Wang pulled him into the side room to dry his hair. Qi Haoran explained on Fei Bai’s behalf, “I asked him to go down and rest since he hasn’t slept for a few days following me. It’s not his fault.”
Just as Qi Haoran finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and leaned against the couch.
Seeing this, Mama Wang’s heart ached. She quickly helped him lie down, covered him with a blanket, and dried his hair.
Hence, Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling did not wake up for dinner tonight. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, Qi Xiuyuan did not instruct the servants to wake them up and let them sleep.
Li Jinghua hesitated if she should carry Qi Haoran back to his own courtyard. Although he and Mu Yangling were already engaged, it was not a good idea for them to sleep in the same courtyard.
However, Qi Xiuyuan didn’t care at all. “If the people in Spring Courtyard don’t say anything, who will know?”
