Chapter 142: Dining with Wang Ye

  "Can't sleep?" I don't know how long it's been, but just as I was about to drift off to sleep in a daze, suddenly came Song Tang's soft voice. I suspected it was my own illusion, and looking out the window, everything was pitch black, and I had no idea what time it was.

  "Susu, have you fallen asleep?" Song Tang asked again with caution and in a soft voice.

  "Are you awake? Want some water?" I struggled to get up.

  "No!" As soon as Song Tang finished speaking, I lay down immediately. He said: "I heard you tossing and turning, what's on your mind?"

  I said in my heart, "You heard me tossing and turning, didn't you sleep all night?" Then I smiled and said, "Did I disturb your sleep?"

  "No, I couldn't sleep either!" He said softly, as if he had also turned over to face me: "The weather is getting colder and colder, you're sleeping there, you might catch a chill, I was thinking about what to do."

  My heart skipped a beat, you wouldn't be thinking of sharing a bed with me, would you?

  "No, I won't catch a cold, I'm very healthy." I muttered: "In the winter, we also burn charcoal in the house, it's okay."

  "I was thinking of letting you move into the house next door, there are still a few empty rooms in Yihua Xuan." He seemed to smile slightly and said: "I was just thinking, if my wife and mother-in-law ask, what should I say?"

  "I'll just live in this house then, you can give me orders if there's anything." His heart couldn't help but move, he still cares about me.

  "I was thinking, if I gradually get better, you must be leaving, and we'll always be in the same room, but I'm afraid it won't look good for our reputation." Song Tang said softly, in a voice that only I could hear.

  My heart was even more moved, his tone seemed helpless, I listened and couldn't help but feel a pang in my eyes, saying: "Don't worry about it, let the old people worry, just stay here, it's nothing."

  "Aren't you afraid that your future husband will misunderstand something?" He paused for a moment, with a slightly cautious tone.

  "If it were someone else who misunderstood even this, what kind of good person would they be?" I couldn't help but smile wryly. I thought, surely Chihiro would understand me.
