Marry a Duke

Chapter 140 Sleeping Soundly

She regained her composure and smiled faintly.

"Wuyou can't sleep for a while, so Duke, please stay here with her for a while. I'll go take a shower first." Before the smile on her lips became stiff, she turned around and went to the bathroom first.

Nanny Xu had asked someone to prepare water long ago. She had planned to play with Wuyou for a while before taking a bath, and the water was still hot.

She took off her clothes and got into the tub, calculating the time and deciding to soak in the tub for a while longer until he left on his own.

There were many people in the house now, so he probably wouldn't insist on staying in her room.

In order to prevent him from staying, she decided to let Wuyou sleep with the wet nurse tonight.

"Hateful." She clenched her fists and hit the water. She only dared to hit the water and didn't dare to hit him. Besides, she couldn't beat him.

Why did he come here for no reason? He made her unable to sleep with Wuyou tonight.

She hesitated. If the water hadn't been cold, she could have stayed there for another half an hour. Her hands had already turned white from soaking, so she had to get up. If she continued soaking, she would catch a cold.

Then the gain outweighs the loss.

She got up and put on the pajamas that had been prepared long ago. She listened carefully and there was no sound in the room. Wei Xuan should have left.

She exhaled lightly and came out of the bathroom.

What caught her eye was Wei Xuan in a pitch-black nightgown, with his hair disheveled, standing there, facing her, his eyes slightly narrowed, like a black panther, staring at its prey that was walking towards him recklessly.

Fu Ran's little hand trembled, and he looked around for Wuyou.

When did he go back to his room to take a shower and come back? Why was there no sound and no one told her?

"Where's Wuyou?" She didn't see anyone.

"Wuyou has fallen asleep. The nanny has taken him to the next room and we'll ask her to bring him over later." Wei Xuan said slowly.

Fu Ran raised her eyebrows: "Wuyou is not here, why doesn't the Duke go back to his room to sleep?" But it was too tiring to pretend, she couldn't pretend at all.

If it was for Wuyou, she could still force herself.

Now Wuyou has a wet nurse to accompany him, what is the point of him staying here?

Could it be——

Is he thinking about that?

Fu Ran immediately became alert. Last time they successfully created Wuyou, but neither of them had much impression of him. Her physical sensation was worse than his. After all, the structures of men and women are different. After she went back, she still felt uncomfortable for a while.

Whether it is physical or psychological.

"This is my mansion, you are my wife, what's wrong with me being here?"

Fu Ran twitched his lips.

I can't even fake a smile.

Yes, it's his place.

"Your Majesty is right." When you live under someone's roof, it is really hateful.

Fu Ran wanted to move the quilt and pillow to sleep on the couch, but Wei Xuan had already blocked his way outside the bed. He was tall and straight, and took up a lot of space.

If he didn't let her, it would be difficult for her to go out.

"What are you going to do?" She asked him with wide eyes, very defensive: "I know that the Duke is also a man, and men must have their own needs. The Duke not only has no concubines, but also no connecting rooms. It's really unfair for the Duke to be patient for such a long time."

She sighed and said very heavily.

"Tomorrow I will go and ask the old lady to carefully find a few beautiful and dignified concubines for the Duke."

"You are kind-hearted." Wei Xuan's dark eyes were blazing. "Fu Ran, you reminded Mingyue that it is indeed a feasible way to find someone to marry before the Huo family. However, Princess Shou does not want to let Mingyue's marriage suffer. Now Mingyue insists on finding someone and has given a list of names. I will invite them to the Duke's Mansion in the next two days, and you will be the one to receive them."

After all, she is the wife of Duke Weiguo.

Fu Ran heaved a sigh of relief when the matter was brought up.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Although I am the wife of the Duke of Weiguo, I have never been in charge of a household or entertained guests. Mingyue doesn't like the young man from an ordinary family. If I neglect him, I'm afraid people outside will spread rumors about the Duke's Mansion's faults." She didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.

She is different from others in how she treats people, and even if she does it, she might be criticized.

Now Wei Lin is also in the mansion. No matter what she does, whether it is right or wrong, in Wei Lin's eyes, she must be wrong.

Instead of this, she might as well refuse it early.

"If the old lady doesn't want to take care of it, there is still the eldest lady. She will definitely be happy to do it when she returns to the Duke's Mansion." Fu Ran pushed the matter onto Wei Lin.

Yes, Wei Lin did agree.

But Wei Xuan was not satisfied with Fu Ran's answer. She seemed humble but was actually evasive.

She didn't consider herself the wife of Duke Weiguo at all, but just a guest everywhere.

"Fu Ran, you are my wife. Sooner or later, you will be in charge of the inner house of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. Now is your chance to learn. No matter whether you do well or not, mother will guide you from behind."

Now that he has Wuyou, he has no intention of changing his wife.

Although Fu Ran's identity is not prominent, he has never been the kind of person who cares about his identity.

"But..." Fu Ran still wanted to refuse. Since the old lady was willing to give instructions, she would be directly responsible.

"Fu Ran, my patience has its limits." He reminded her kindly, with a warning in his eyes, asking her not to push her too far and refuse blindly.

Fu Ran had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.

"Yes, I will do my best to get this done."

She hugged the pillow and looked at him quietly. Under her gaze, Wei Xuan took off his shoes, got on the bed, and lay down beside her.

Fu Ran's eyes widened, then returned to normal. She opened her mouth again and again, but swallowed the words she wanted to curse.

"Aren't you going back to your room to sleep? I don't sleep well at night, and sometimes I sleepwalk, which will disturb you, Duke, you should go back to your room to sleep, you can sleep peacefully."

She reminded me very kindly.

"Besides, without Wuyou by my side at night, I couldn't sleep well. I tossed and turned, which would definitely affect your sleep."

He should be able to feel how considerate she is.

But Wei Xuan didn't care at all.

"In the military camp, there is always noise around you. There are people keeping watch at night and teams patrolling." He closed his eyes and opened them again, resting on her little face.

"So, your little movement is nothing."

After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

Fu Ran opened his mouth slightly and wanted to insist on asking the man to leave, but he said that he was in the military camp - he was also a man who had suffered on the battlefield for his country.

He was not the Duke of Weiguo, known as the God of War, from the beginning. He was also young, and he had rolled around in the military camp and had his blood stained on the battlefield.

He is also a hero praised by everyone in the Dayue Dynasty.

Fu Ran silently arranged the pillow, lay down and covered himself with the quilt.

After a moment, she closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.

She slept soundly even without Wuyou at night.

She didn't move all night, occasionally turning over, but there was no big noise, and she never sleepwalked.

The two of them lived in peace that night. If Fu Ran hadn't opened her eyes and met Wei Xuan's face the next day, she would have felt better.
