Xiao Qiao slowly opened her eyes and saw Wei Shaos worried eyes watching her. He had returned, and the room was bright. She had tears in her eyes, her cheeks streaked with wetness, her chest and back covered with cold sweat, and her clothes clinging to her flesh. Even though he tightly held her in his arms, her shoulders still trembled.
Whats wrong with you?
Wei Shaos voice was anxious, and he held her tighter, lifting his calloused palm to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead and tears from her face.
Xiao Qiao leaned weakly against his chest, closed her eyes, and shook her head.
Wei Shao looked at her intently.
Bad dream?
Xiao Qiao didnt say anything.
Dreaming about what? He urged, What exactly did you dream about?
Xiao Qiao shook her head again. She didnt want to cry anymore. It was just a dream, and now that she had woken up, there was no need to be afraid anymore. But the tears continued to pour out of her closed eyes. The more he questioned, the more her tears flowed. In the end, she couldnt hold back. Her body trembled like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, and tears soon wet his clothes.
Wei Shaos heart was also soaked by her tears, tightly twisted into a ball.
After he found his mother in the family temple, he sent her to her room. When he once again heard his mothers deep-rooted hatred for Xiao Qiao, he subconsciously felt opposition and disdain.
But the moment he saw the woman who had given birth to him look frightened and uneasy for fear of his reprimand, a twinge of guilt welled in his heart.
Thus, he stayed with his mother, whom he had neglected for a long time, and waited for her to sleep before returning.
It was already the fifth period in the morning. Xiao Qiao was sleeping very deeply.
He didnt wake her up. He planned to wait until dawn to look at her again and then leave according to the scheduled plan.
In this next battle in Langya, he was determined to win.
Liu Yan indeed did great work in Yanzhou, but he chose to attack Langya this time not only for revenge. It was a plan for the world.
This war required thousands of people, and the preparation was complicated and detailed beyond ones imagination. Although Gongsun Yang, Wei Quan, and others will take care of everything, he still wants to go over earlier to personally supervised the army. It was necessary to take the right step. Then, her murmurs awakened him. Never before had he seen her so restless in her sleep. At first, he could not even wake her up.
Man Man, dont be afraid! I am here!
Wei Shao held her trembling body tightly and lowered his head, repeatedly kissing her sweat-covered forehead, and could not stop whispering to comfort her.
Xiao Qiao curled up in his arms and buried her face in his chest, repressing the whole thing.
A ring of a bell came over.
Fei Fei, in the crib, was awakened by Xiao Qiao crying. She stirred her legs, trying hard to roll over, rolled halfway and back, whimpered twice, still not seeing her mother beside her, and cried in aggravation.
Xiao Qiao opened her eyes and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, still choking, and wanted to break free from his arms and get out of bed.
Wei Shao did not let her go. Holding her, he gently laid her down on the bed, wiped the tear stains on her face with his palm again, and said, Lie down.
After covering her up, he got out of bed to pick up Fei Fei and coaxed her a few times.
Fei Fei stirred her feet, closed her eyes, and cried, looking for her mother.
Give her to me -
Xiao Qiao sat up.
Wei Shao instructed her not to get up and open the door himself, calling out. Chun Niang and the nurse quickly came over.
Carry Fei Fei out and put her to sleep. He said.
Chun Niang glanced at Xiao Qiao on the bed, and without asking any more questions, she picked up Fei Fei, who was still crying. The nurse took a cloak, wrapped it around her, and the two of them retreated out.
Her daughters cries seemed to be ringing in her ears. Xiao Qiao sat up again and hastily lifted the quilt.
Its better if I do it, Fei Fei acknowledges me , her voice was still hoarse and interspersed with sobs.
Wei Shao closed the door, turned towards her with quick steps, pressed her back, and said, Fei Fei has Chun Niang and the nanny to look after her. Its fine.
His tone was not to be questioned. After saying that, he took a towel for Fei Fei to wipe her sweat. He sat on the bed and started to wipe her neck, chest, and back. Then, he leaned over and took her into his arms again.
What did you dream about just now? How can you be so scared?
His fingers gently stroked her still red and swollen eyelids with pity and asked softly.
Xiao Qiao shook her head: Nothing its fine A thin layer of tears slowly emerged again in her beautiful eyes.
Talk to me. Say it, so you wont be afraid anymore-
