Chapter Fourteen: After the Fact

  She felt like she was in a very warm place, just like a small baby being held in her mother's arms, feeling so safe and comfortable. All kinds of uneasy and disturbing negative emotions were excluded from this embrace. It seemed that as long as she was in this embrace, nothing could hurt her.

  But little did he know, Pei Mingxuan was already at his wit's end, the warmth and softness in his arms pushing him to the limit. Yuan Shuhan was still trying to snuggle closer into his chest, wanting to pull away but seeing Yuan Shuhan frown, as if he had done something unforgivable. Pei Mingxuan thought to himself, if you don't leave soon, I'm afraid I'll do something that can't be forgiven.

  Moreover, Yuan Shuhuan is now an eleven-year-old child, just at the age of talking about marriage. If he did something himself, that would be truly beastly. But looking at Yuan Shuhuan's sweet sleeping face, it feels like this is actually a kind of sweet torture. Compared to the tangled thoughts from this afternoon, it's a thousand times more unbearable.

  At this moment, however, he heard Yuan Shu Han muttering a sentence in a low voice, "Mother." This made Pei Ming Xuan even more unsure of what to do. After all, he couldn't enter Yuan Shu Han's dream at the moment and had no way of knowing what she was thinking about right now. Although this situation was somewhat puzzling and absurd, for now, he could only silently endure it, feeling a bit helpless and frustrated.

  Looking at the slightly late sky, the person in his arms still didn't make a sound, so Pei Mingxuan simply pulled over the quilt on one side. Rather than being like this and not knowing what to do with himself, it was better for the two of them to just sleep together. Anyway, things had already turned out like this, if they were wrong then so be it?

  Contrary to Pei Mingxuan's expectations, Yuan Shuhan woke up at dawn on the second day. When she saw Pei Mingxuan, she blinked her eyes and was slightly dazed. What had she done yesterday that led to this situation today? It seemed like she had come to talk to Pei Mingxuan yesterday, and then while chatting, she fell asleep, and now it's become like this.

  "Awake?" Pei Mingxuan was indeed much calmer than Yuan Shuhuan, but he still felt a little embarrassed. After all, the person Yuan Shuhuan had called out for in his dream yesterday was his mother.

  "That... I didn't do anything yesterday, did I? Like, for example, eating and drinking to the point of collapse or something. That kind of thing shouldn't have happened. I just fell asleep, not drunk, so how could that have happened? But looking at Pei Mingxuan's current appearance, Yuan Shuhan has a somewhat bad premonition."

  Adding to that the dream he had last night, Yuan Shu Han felt a bit more uncertain and just hoped that he hadn't actually done anything. However, neither of them noticed that their current posture was somewhat ambiguous.

  "Yuanniang also can't help but overestimate Mingxuan, if this continues, Mingxuan doesn't know what will happen." Pei Mingxuan's voice became increasingly hoarse and low. Yuan Shuhuan looked up and could vaguely see the small spark in Pei Mingxuan's eyes. She instinctively moved away from Pei Mingxuan a bit, then prepared to get out of bed.

  Discussing such matters with a man in bed, the one who will ultimately suffer is always the girl. Yuan Shu had heard someone mention this before, and now it naturally comes to mind. However, he didn't know that at the same time, Pei Mingxuan also let out a sigh of relief. Having a warm and delicate body in his arms was enjoyable, but if the other party wasn't mature enough and couldn't do anything, it would easily turn into another kind of torment.

  It's estimated that after this, even if Pei Mingxuan kissed Yuan Shuhuan, it would only be a peck on the cheek. Otherwise, he'd be the one to suffer. For the nth time, he lamented why Yuan Shuhuan was still a kid. If she were an adult woman, things wouldn't be so suffocating. But watching Yuan Shuhuan leave quickly, Pei Mingxuan felt that this matter wasn't going well in his heart, and no matter how he looked at it, it just didn't feel right.

  He's been suffering and putting out fires here, but Yuan Shu Han has been hiding from him and ended up in this state. Pei Ming Xuan can't even be happy if he wants to. The gap between the two people is too big, making it impossible for Pei Ming Xuan to accept Mu Yu.

  "Han'er……" You're such a heartless little thing! The last words, Pei Mingxuan couldn't bring himself to say out loud. But looking at Pei Mingxuan like this, Yuan Shuheng felt a twinge of guilt. No matter how they had handled things in the past, but now he was the one who could be considered the culprit, while Pei Mingxuan could be considered an innocent victim.

  As for the warm and comfortable embrace last night, it must be Pei Mingxuan's. And Yuan Shuhuan had a few impressions of trying to lean in when he felt the distance between them. This thing is really embarrassing, although Yuan Shuhuan's face has always been quite thick-skinned.

  "Last night, of course, there were things, and you muttered the two words 'mother' in your sleep. Repeatedly saying that Huan'er will be obedient, it's heart-wrenching. It just so happens that I met a heartless little girl like you, and Pei Mingxuan really has no one to talk to about his troubles. Of course, this is also something that Pei Mingxuan willingly accepts, otherwise Yu Shuhuan wouldn't have been able to make Pei Mingxuan surrender."

  A hint of melancholy flashed across Yuan Shu's downcast eyes, she had vaguely forgotten last night that the woman could be so gentle to her. For that man, she didn't even want her own parents or children, only her grandparents were kind to her, but in the end, they ended up like that.

  "Thanks for last night..." If Yuan Shu Han still couldn't feel it, Pei Ming Xuan's tolerance had reached a point where he would have grown up in vain. Even if Yuan Shu Han's emotional intelligence wasn't that high, these things wouldn't be something he could just ignore and not take to heart.

  Don't look at Pei Mingxuan's usual clumsiness, but in this matter, he knows what to do and what not to do. Yuan Shuheng is a light sleeper and wakes up easily from sleep. Last night, however, he slept soundly, all thanks to Pei Mingxuan's thoughtful care.

  "If you can't sleep later, you can come find me." Pei Mingxuan left with these words, thinking of Yuan Shuhan's sleeping face last night. What exactly happened to Yuan Shuhan, even Si Kongzi Hong, who had been connected to Yuan Shuhan for two lifetimes, couldn't explain clearly, let alone Pei Mingxuan.

  But if it wasn't that memorable, why couldn't he forget even in his dreams? Who made him so uneasy, and even after switching to another world, he was still so uneasy. This question Bai Mingxuan asked himself countless times, but he never had the courage to ask Yuan Shuhan. In fact, he wasn't as fearless as he imagined, at least not when it came to Yuan Shuhan's affairs.

  "In that case, you probably won't be able to sleep peacefully every night." She never had a good time with anyone, if she had to say there was one, it would be before she found that man. Although her mother abandoned her and left her to be raised by her grandparents, they gave her the warmest feelings.

  It's a pity that all the good things were reduced to ashes because of a woman's foolish love. The sacrifice of love was her own parents, and that woman still seemed to be enjoying it. Even if she died for that man in the end, her original intention never changed. Yuan Shu Huan didn't know whether to describe that woman as infatuated or foolish and heartless.

  "It's just a habit." Pei Mingxuan's smile still had a hint of tolerance, but his eyes looking at Yuan Shuhuan were even more heart-wrenching. Such gentleness made Yuan Shuhuan feel like he couldn't escape, yet he couldn't bear to leave such a gaze.

  "I'll go get you something to eat first." Neither of them had eaten dinner last night, and today's breakfast was a bit hungry for Yuan Shuheng himself. But his current appearance should look very disheveled, like the behavior of fleeing in a hurry. Fortunately, he met Pei Mingxuan, a man who could tolerate his shortcomings.

  Pei Mingxuan chuckled, this silly little girl. Yuan Shuheng had a special kind of confusion and inability to face himself when he was with her, perhaps it was all mixed with some unspoken affection. Just like his own feelings for Yuan Shuheng. It's just that this little girl is really too confused, and there's also a bit of resistance in her heart, so she hasn't discovered such emotions.

  Otherwise, how can he sleep peacefully in his own arms and show such a sweet smile. Feeling Yuan Shu Huan's hidden intentions in her heart, Pei Ming Xuan was overjoyed. In fact, as long as Yuan Shu Huan is by his side, even if the two of them don't do anything, he can still sleep very soundly.

  Bai Mingxuan had never experienced such a feeling before, in other words, no woman had ever made him want to hold her in his arms and care for her for the rest of his life. For people like them, this kind of thing was somewhat unthinkable, yet it still made one feel a warmth in their heart.

  Yu Shu Han cured his illness, but also took away his heart. He said he wanted to take care of Yu Shu Han himself, but it was always Yu Shu Han who took care of him. It's just that I don't know when Yu Shu and Yu Tian will come back, fortunately Dong Qingyuan is not in the capital now.

  It seems that this time also shook Dong Qingyuan's foundation, otherwise how could Dong Qingyuan care so much and even deliberately come over here. However, Yuan Shuhuan eventually entered Dong Qingyuan's line of sight, according to Dong Qingyuan's thoughts, how could he let go of Yuan Shuhuan. Only afraid that there are some things in this that cannot be stopped by oneself either.

  It's fortunate that Yuan Shu Huan, despite not seeking fame and fortune, still has his skills intact, so there's no need to worry about his own well-being. However, these peaceful days are probably coming to an end. Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed across Pei Ming Xuan's eyes. If Dong Qing Yuan really doesn't know what's good for him, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

  Although this place has always been guarded by himself, he now has something more that he wants to protect. What he is especially afraid of now is Dong Qingyuan taking action against the two children, which is also the weakest link among them. No matter how others look at it, they are all strong alliances, but these two children...
