Chapter 455 His Attitude
Chapter 455 His Attitude
The word "husband" came out of her mouth so smoothly and naturally.
Her love doesn't seem fake.
But she didn't seem to care much about the fact that they slept separately and did not share the same bed. Perhaps she concealed it well, and he did not see any look of loss on her face.
She didn't even ask any questions, but considerately handed him a blanket. This action didn't seem to be intended to be friendly, as if she was simply afraid that he would catch a cold.
Looking at her smiling face, Yue Fuli's originally calm heart was inexplicably slightly disturbed.
However, there was no expression of abnormality on his face.
It was late at night and the candlelight was flickering.
Neither of them said anything else. When Si He returned to the bed, Yue Fuli extinguished the candle and went to bed.
The room fell into darkness and silence.
The air was still filled with a faint fragrance, which could soothe the mind and promote sleep, but Si He was not sleepy at all.
After lying quietly for a long time, she gently turned over and lay on her side facing outside the bed, looking at the figure on the recliner not far away. Although the room was dark, it did not hinder her at all.
In fact, she was very content just to be able to stay in the same room and see him as long as she opened her eyes.
He was lying on the recliner, covered with a thin blanket, sleeping upright with his breathing shallow. If you looked closely, you could tell that he was sleeping in a defensive position.
Was it because she was in the room? Or was it because the environment he was in had made him develop this habit? So he was on guard even when he slept.
She sighed silently in her heart, but this was also good. Being prepared could better protect herself.
As she looked at it, a slight curve appeared on her lips.
It was unknown how long it was before she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
The moment she withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes to fall asleep, Yue Fuli slowly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked towards the bed, with a complex look in his eyes.
……
The next morning, Yue Fuli got up early. Si He was a light sleeper, so when she heard the noise, she woke up quickly too, but she didn't open her eyes, as if she was still sleeping soundly, so as not to make him uncomfortable.
She listened intently, hearing rustling sounds and light footsteps. From these subtle sounds, she could tell he was getting dressed, putting on his shoes, and arranging the thin blanket...
He moved very quietly, obviously not wanting to wake her.
Then, his footsteps paused.
Si He could vaguely feel his gaze on her, but it was only for a brief moment, and the sound of light footsteps sounded again, gradually fading away.
He seemed to have gone to the side room to wash up.
Only then did Si He open her eyes, slowly sit up, and look towards the outside of the dormitory.
After a while, he looked to the side and saw that the thin blanket on the recliner had been neatly folded and placed in the middle of the chair.
She stood up, walked over and picked up the blanket, which was still warm. She stretched out her other hand and gently pressed the recliner. Fortunately, the cushion on it was quite good, so it shouldn't be uncomfortable to sleep on.
She withdrew her hand, tucked the blanket away, and then went to get her coat and put it on.
After she had finished packing, she called the maid in.
Although it is still early, I have to visit my parents-in-law this morning and cannot delay, so as not to give others a chance to talk about me.
After washing and dressing up, it was already dawn.
Her makeup today was lighter and brighter, not as elegant and graceful as yesterday. Her long hair was combed into a high bun, and she was dressed like a bride in an elegant dress.
When I walked out of the outer room, I saw Yue Fuli, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He was sitting at the table, drinking hot tea.
Today he changed into the same dark brocade shirt he usually wore, with a handsome figure and a straight posture.
Without his festive wedding attire, the dark color made him look even colder, and he exuded an aura of majesty that made people afraid to approach him.
At this moment, the servants were bringing in breakfast and placing it on the table.
Hearing footsteps, he glanced sideways and saw her smiling and saying, "Good morning, husband."
She was dressed gracefully today, with light makeup, looking elegant and refined, and her smile was like a newly blooming pear blossom.
"Well, let's have a meal."
He responded lightly, and then withdrew his gaze.
"it is good."
She sat down opposite him and sat properly.
The breakfast was rich. In addition to several exquisite side dishes and rice porridge, there were also cakes and preserved fruits, flower soup cakes and pastries, each of which was delicious.
While eating, Si He tried her best to restrain herself and avoid looking at him.
However, if she didn't speak, he wouldn't take the initiative to speak, which was a perfect example of the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
Eat in silence, and after breakfast, when the time comes, go to the front yard to greet the elders and serve them tea.
Before leaving, he said, "If you don't have enough servants, I'll have some sent over later, or you can buy more."
After all, when they were on the road before, they encountered "bandits" and many of the servants of the Guo family who were accompanying them died. The most important thing is that she may not want to use these people who were planted here.
Hearing this, she smiled again, "Thank you, husband. It's up to you."
She did care about how many servants she had, but those people were planted by the Guo family after all. Even if they seemed willing to obey her orders, she still had to keep a close eye on them and be on guard against them.
Besides, now that he had asked, she didn't want to refuse his kindness.
But she thought for a moment, then asked, "How do you want to arrange for the concubines?"
Her words were meant to test his attitude. Even though she had asked him related questions before and he had expressed his attitude at that time, saying that he didn't care at all, now that those people were here, she still had to ask him what he thought.
And Guo Zan will definitely not be content. It is estimated that he may have been testing the attitude of the Yue family last night and started to work on the matter of elevating his wife.
She had to handle these matters properly according to Yue Fuli's attitude.
Yue Fuli said: "It's up to you."
Hearing this, she hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't say what she wanted to ask.
But he seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and took the initiative to say: "It won't work to elevate my wife."
Hearing this, her eyes lit up and she looked happy.
"Let's go."
As he spoke, he walked out.
Si He hurriedly followed him, but the moment she stepped out of the door, she quickly stopped.
Because the sun has risen at this time, although the sunlight is not yet very warm, she cannot stand the light after all.
Yue Fuli heard the noise and stopped, turning around to see her saying to Gao You, "Hold an umbrella."
Gao You and the others were no longer surprised by this. They just thought that she didn't like being in the sun and that girls were afraid of getting tanned. They had already prepared an umbrella, but she left in a hurry and they were a step slower.
"Yes."
Gao You walked to the door and opened the umbrella.
Si He saw Yue Fuli's gaze and said with a wry smile, "I get dizzy easily when I'm in the sun."
