Chapter 560: Chapter 560

The next evening, dinner was different from the night before.

At the dinner table, Xie Ruilin behaved properly, no longer daring to let Song Yanqing assist her or serve her food.

It seems that Ming Yufang had a private talk with Xie Ruilin.

Xie Ruilin felt uncomfortable, but under Ming Yufang’s pressure, she could only temporarily acquiesce.

She couldn’t help but look up at Xie Ruotong sitting next to her.

Seeing her eating dinner as if nothing was different, without any abnormalities.

She still displayed the elegance and intelligence of the young madam of the Song Family.

Xie Ruotong felt Xie Ruilin’s gaze.

She glanced over, her eyes carrying a hint of a smile.

The faint smile was clearly tinged with sarcasm.

Xie Ruilin was provoked by Xie Ruotong’s subtle expression.

Ming Yufang’s visit today to persuade her to advise Song Yanqing to leave her room was definitely Xie Ruotong’s scheme.

Has never stopped trying to compete with her for Song Yanqing’s heart.

All the previous seeming indifference towards her and Song Yanqing’s relationship was just a pretense.

A disguise for the Song Family to see.

Xie Ruilin clenched her teeth in anger.

Yet she could only endure it, not daring to lose her temper.

"Yanqing, you work hard at court every day. Zhu Hong, give the young master a few more bowls of soup," Ming Yufang instructed her attendant.

"Yes, Madam." Zhu Hong promptly bent down to serve Song Yanqing with more soup.

Song Yanqing had already had two bowls.

He involuntarily frowned.

Xie Ruotong of course knew Ming Yufang’s intention.

To be exact, it was her that instructed Ming Yufang to have the kitchen prepare a nourishing soup for Song Yanqing that could enhance his male health.

These soups weren’t as potent as medications; they would only cause subtle sensations in his body, just enough to make his heart itch, all without arousing Song Yanqing’s suspicion.

Song Yanqing had no choice but to drink another bowl.

Song Yanqing still accompanied Xie Ruilin back to her room.

Ming Yufang naturally had spoken to Song Yanqing previously about not staying in Xie Ruilin’s room, using the reason Xie Ruotong gave to Ming Yufang that Xie Ruilin was pregnant and may harm the child. Song Yanqing outright refused, asserting he was prudent.

Ming Yufang mentioned his father did not approve of his behavior toward Xie Ruilin.

Song Yanqing still said he was prudent.

Prudence meant being somewhat colder to Xie Ruilin at the dinner table, and even colder toward Xie Ruotong.

Xie Ruotong noticed it.

Song Yanqing did not look at her at all from beginning to end.

Inside Xie Ruilin’s room.

Xie Ruilin spoke in a grievous tone, "Yanqing brother, your mother asked me to persuade you not to stay in my room. Maybe you shouldn’t sleep here tonight? I’m worried she might come to harass me again tomorrow, criticizing me for not considering your well-being, saying I’m without manners."

"I will handle it," Song Yanqing reassured, "Don’t be afraid."

"Yanqing brother..." Xie Ruilin leaned into Song Yanqing’s arms with a tender expression.

A wicked smile crept across her lips.

Xie Ruotong really thought she could so easily take Song Yanqing away from her room.

The affection Song Yanqing has for her, Xie Ruotong could never match in her lifetime.

After both had washed up, they laid on the same bed.

Even though Xie Ruilin was pregnant, she still lay close to Song Yanqing’s body, and Song Yanqing gently embraced her.

Yet tonight, he suddenly found himself suffering from insomnia.

Normally, Song Yanqing would fall asleep quickly at night.

After all, he wakes up very early.

Usually feeling sleepy as the hour arrives.

But tonight, he kept feeling like something was missing.

Mysteriously agitated.

Not even knowing what he was irritable about.

Even his body mysteriously felt somewhat feverish.

As he embraced Xie Ruilin’s soft body, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A strange thought suddenly surged from his heart.

Song Yanqing’s body tensed.

He also understood what he wanted to do now.

Ever since Xie Ruilin became pregnant, he had only held her to sleep each night, knowing not to harm her body so he never thought beyond that.

But tonight, his heart itched unbearably.

He wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about such matters.

But he was a man after all, with physical needs, though he considered himself disciplined and steady, definitely not one to lose control in such matters, confident that he would never harm Xie Ruilin in any way, yet tonight he felt a bit restless. This update is available on NoveIＦire.net
