Sang Yao didn’t actually pretend to be asleep.

She was just feeling a bit dizzy and didn’t want to answer. She just wanted to lean on Xie Yun quietly and listen to him talk.

She never expected to hear him say this at this moment.

Her heart beat faster and faster.

The hand that was placed by Xie Yun’s side gradually tightened on his sleeve.

The long lashes of the girl blinked up and down, brushing against the fabric of the man’s chest.

Although she had only taken a sip of wine, Sang Yao felt as if she was now as dizzy as if she were immersed in a wine vat.

He spoke so casually that, in the blink of an eye, Sang Yao began to doubt whether she had misheard him.

She held back her excitement and didn’t say anything, wanting to hear what he would say next.

But in fact, her disguise was too clumsy, and when Xie Yun finished speaking, her body’s stiffness betrayed her.

Xie Yun just didn’t understand why.

Sang Yao was still anxious.

What would he say next?

Sang Yao’s fingertips, gripping the sleeve, turned white as she urged herself in her mind.

… Why isn’t he speaking?

Did he just say that casually?

The carriage continued to move, the curtains quietly fluttering, occasionally letting in a few points of light.

He still didn’t say anything.

Sang Yao had never hated Xie Yun as much as she did at this moment for being so taciturn.

After a few breaths, Sang Yao couldn’t bear it anymore. She sat up, looked up at him.

The result was that she met the man’s gaze, and in the dim light, the two of them stared at each other silently.

Sang Yao felt that her face must be very red, because she was really hot now.

But it was so dark in the carriage that Xie Yun probably couldn’t see it clearly.

In order to hear it again, she endured her impatience and pretended to look like she had just woken up and said, “Um… what did you say? I didn’t hear it clearly.”

To be honest, the traces of her performance in this sentence were really heavy.

Xie Yun couldn’t ignore it.

He half-closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and then patiently cooperated with her performance under Sang Yao’s expectant gaze. He said, “… Do you see me giving others a chance?”

What was he doing? It wasn’t this sentence!

Sang Yao continued to hesitate, “But I think… you said a lot just now, don’t you have another sentence?”

Xie Yun’s eyes were filled with a smile.

On one hand, he felt that there was no one in the world cuter than Sang Yao, and on the other hand, he held up a face that was calm and unyielding to continue watching her act coquettishly.

Sang Yao was getting anxious.

She had never been so impatient in her life.

She couldn’t wait for a moment and wanted to shake Xie Yun’s shoulder to make him say it again.

But Xie Yun was still saying, “You should explain to me why you said that just now, right?”

He chuckled, seemingly intentional, and said, “I like you. Do you see me giving others a chance?”

His tone was light and mocking, but Sang Yao still felt her heart skip a beat.

She didn’t have the patience anymore. She said, “It’s not this sentence.”

But today, Xie Yun seemed determined to oppose her. He said indifferently, “Actually, I didn’t say anything just now. Even if you knew, it wouldn’t make a difference.”

Sang Yao wanted to beg him. She said, “No, your words are very important.”

Xie Yun laughed, seemingly deliberate, and said, “Then explain to me why you said that just now.”

“… “

Why else? Of course, it’s to upset you.

Sang Yao felt that he wouldn’t say it again.

This man was very shrewd. Even if it was just a casual remark revealing his feelings, he wouldn’t say it a second time.

She didn’t want to talk to him.

Sang Yao hung her head dejectedly against his chest.

The man’s hand landed on her waist, caressing up and down, sliding from the girl’s back to her hips.

Sang Yao was not in a good mood and didn’t have a good expression towards him. She said, “Stop groping around.”

Xie Yun shamelessly responded with an “mm” and then said, “But my hand, it’s out of control.”

Sang Yao didn’t want to deal with him anymore.

She had felt resigned to this before.

She didn’t have to hear Xie Yun say that one word “like.” She married a dog, followed a dog.

She couldn’t force this emotionally cold man to become the kind of person who always speaks sweetly.

But even so, Sang Yao awkwardly thought, it would be better to say something.

Who doesn’t love to hear sweet words?

At least it can please her.

Damn it, he said it too fast, she didn’t have time to savor it, now she’s going to forget it.

So unfortunate.

The more she thought about it, the more sad Sang Yao felt. She felt like she was going to miss this rare moment of Xie Yun expressing his love and admiration.

After holding it in for a long time, Sang Yao still felt angry.

She suddenly sat up straight from him and asked directly, “What did you just say about me?”

Xie Yun heard the grievance in her tone and asked, “Who made you unhappy?”

After Xie Yun repeatedly avoided answering, Sang Yao suddenly realized that Xie Yun was doing it on purpose.

The girl’s slender fingers grabbed his lapel, half threatening and half coquettish, and said, “Hurry up and say it, you must understand what I mean.”

Her voice was very soft, with a gentle ending tone, “Stop pretending, Xie Yun, what did you say about me?”

Xie Yun rewrapped his waist, the two of them pressed against each other, and with a little force from Xie Yun, Sang Yao leaned directly against him.

The girl’s red lips were close to Xie Yun’s neck, her breath falling on his Adam’s apple, mixed with a bit of complaint in her coquettishness, she continued to chatter:

“If you don’t speak, then I can’t do anything about you. Actually, whether you speak or not doesn’t matter to me, I don’t particularly want to hear it anyway.”

Xie Yun pretended not to hear and asked, “What did you say about me?”

Sang Yao held her breath, then buried her red lips in his neck, saying, “You like me, right?”

Xie Yun followed with an “mm” and said, “I like you.”

This time it was very clear, definitely not misheard.

Sang Yao didn’t speak, and the carriage fell silent.

Sang Yao said, “I didn’t hear you clearly.”

Xie Yun cooperated very well and said again, “I like you.”

Sang Yao was very excited.

She used to think that those who were easily swayed by sweet words were silly women.

Now she suddenly understood a bit.

Not to mention being swayed, Sang Yao felt her head numb from listening.

She happily twisted her body and then said in a reckless manner, “Then do you just like me?”

Xie Yun pondered for a moment, then self-taught, “No, I still love you very much.”

Sang Yao continued, “Then what am I to you?”

Xie Yun fell silent again, and Sang Yao didn’t say anything either, silently giving him time to think.

After a while, Xie Yun said, “Baby, I love you?”

So clever, so clever, he got it right away.

Actually, Xie Yun’s love was very obvious, but hearing Xie Yun say it in his own words at this moment, Sang Yao still felt it was very different.

It’s indescribable, but she’s happier than she imagined.

No wonder those people like to hear sweet words from men, and those noble ladies in books are willing to endure hardships with those stinky men because of their sweet words.

Now it seems that these words do have their charm.

The girl’s excitement was too obvious.

Xie Yun could feel the girl’s shoulders shaking slightly with suppressed laughter just by hugging her.

He leaned against the carriage and was a bit puzzled. “Why do you want to hear that?”

Which couple talks about liking each other all the time? That’s too sappy.

Sang Yao said, “It’s none of your business.”

Xie Yun said with a smile in his tone, “Didn’t I say a lot before? I didn’t see you like this.”

“It’s different.”

Xie Yun had almost forgotten these days. His wife had always been a girl who liked to hear sweet words.

But a few days ago, he said so much, and she didn’t react much. It turned out she was fond of this phrase.

But then again, he always felt that this phrase was too direct and simple, unable to accurately express his love for Sang Yao, so it was never within his consideration.

Of course, other words don’t seem to work either.

Sang Yao wanted to hear it again. She began to pick at Xie Yun’s faults, saying, “Are you not confident?”

“Why did you ask that just now?”

In the dim light, Xie Yun’s smile deepened. He seemed to be unable to understand the behavior of the girl who wanted to hear him say it again. He said, “Why is it different?”

Unlike Sang Yao, Xie Yun was not entangled. In his eyes, their relationship had been determined since they got married.

Although he felt it was unbelievable, he didn’t want to avoid it.

Sang Yao didn’t intend to explain to Xie Yun. She was still coaxing him, “Hurry up and say it.”

Xie Yun slightly increased the distance between them and said, “Do you really like that phrase so much?”

Not really, even if a phrase is heavy, it’s not heavy enough. It’s just that this phrase has a different meaning for Sang Yao.

After all, for Sang Yao to say “baby, I love you” to Xie Yun, she had tried many times.

The carriage stopped at this moment.

A clear voice came from outside, “Young Master, Young Madam, we’ve arrived.”

Sang Yao said, “Finish what you were saying before getting off.”

Xie Yun let her hold him hostage, his face smiling.

He slightly opened his legs, allowing Sang Yao to lie on him more comfortably.

The night was deep, and the stone lamps were surrounded by mosquitoes. Originally, he was thinking happily that he could see his young master and young madam being affectionate before going to sleep, and there was probably nothing more wonderful in this world than that.

He waited for a while, but there was no response.

Huh?

A mosquito landed on his arm.

He gently killed it, but there was still no movement inside.

“…”

He somehow understood.

His gaze changed.

Just say it, once a man gets into bed, he becomes an animal.

His young master was even more outrageous, not waiting until he got into bed but turning into an animal on the carriage, not caring about the time.

But as a qualified servant, he had to sort things out for his young master.

He looked at the coachman and said softly, “Old Li, you can step back first. I’ll take care of the carriage later.”

He glanced at the carriage, then said, “The young master and young madam have something important to discuss.”

Indeed, there was something important.

Xie Yun didn’t know why, but this time, he refused to speak.

If he didn’t speak, Sang Yao couldn’t do anything about it.

Originally, just hearing him say that phrase was just a matter of satisfying her ears. Now that she had achieved her goal, she had no use for him. Let him continue to be his dull gourd.

She didn’t want to force it, so she turned to get off the carriage.

But she was pulled back by Xie Yun.

Sang Yao: “What are you doing?”

He took the opportunity to say, “Actually, I can say it to you every day.”

“But I have a condition.”

Sang Yao was dissatisfied, angrily saying, “What do you mean? Isn’t this something you should do willingly?”

“Why are you talking about conditions? If you don’t want to, forget it. I’m not interested.”

Knowing he was in the wrong, Xie Yun softened his voice and began to coax her, “Yao Yao, the condition I’m proposing is very simple.”

But Sang Yao was still unmoved.

She said, “Do you love me or not?”

She didn’t care if he called her baby or not.

But Xie Yun still didn’t let go.

Sang Yao didn’t want to look at him with a turned face.

After a while, the carriage fell silent.

Xie Yun looked silently at her, and she seemed to feel the calm but persistent gaze of the man in her dream.

She pursed her lips and then said somewhat awkwardly, “Well, what’s the condition?”
