Chapter 33 Jinghe also did not sleep.
Downstairs at the inn, Lu Jinghe paid the bill and booked a room for A-Lu as well.
As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Gao Yang holding the sleeping Xiao Sizi and waiting for him.
Lu Jinghe felt inexplicably guilty. His fiancée was waiting for him here, but he had brought a woman home instead.
She's also quite attractive and has a good figure.
"I thought you'd be back late." Gao Yang glanced at A-Lu calmly. Apart from being a little taller, she was nothing special and couldn't compare to her at all.
"How's it going? Have you found any clues?" Gao Yang walked up, completely ignoring A-Lu.
No matter how you look at it, she is the wife. No matter how beautiful this woman is, she's just someone to play around with, at most she could be taken as a concubine.
"I'm starting to get a clue." Seeing that Gao Yang didn't care about A-Lu's matter, Lu Jinghe felt relieved, even though he and A-Lu really had no relationship.
But as a well-educated modern young man, if he takes a pretty woman to an inn late at night and is discovered by his fiancée, anyone would panic, right?
Lu Jinghe spoke seriously, saying, "There's a merchant surnamed Zhao in Lantian County. The strange things in Lantian County are definitely related to him. It's getting late today, let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's rest first."
"Then let's rest first. Would you like to share a room?" Gao Yang couldn't help but ask, looking the person up and down.
Lu Jinghe:
"
How could you say that so casually?
"No, no, no," A-Lu retorted before Lu Jinghe could speak.
"Young master, you've booked me a room; we won't be staying together."
Ah-Lu waved her hands incessantly and even took a half-step back.
"Young Master~" Gao Yang rolled his eyes, mimicking Ah Lü, but with a different tone, more seductive, and sneered, "Get some rest."
After saying that, Gao Yang returned to the house, no longer paying attention to Lu Jinghe and A Lü.
"Young Master—" Ah Lu was a little embarrassed. These two looked like a married couple; their child was already so big.
"Madam, have you misunderstood something? I'll go explain right away!"
Ah-Lu stamped her feet in frustration and tried to push open the door to Gao Yang's room.
Gao Yang's sarcastic tone just now must mean he's angry!
"Never mind, it's not a big deal." Lu Jinghe stopped A-Lu, who was looking a little dazed.
"You go back and rest, I'll take care of things here."
Lu Jinghe led A-Lu to her room, then returned to the door of Gao Yang's room and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
Who is it?
"It is I, Zhao Ning."
"Who are you? Who gave you the right to call me Zhaoning? Call me Your Highness."
Gao Yang sat on the edge of the bed, feeling quite pleased with herself. Lu Jinghe hadn't gone with that woman; instead, he had come to find her.
That's great, Gao Yang definitely didn't misjudge a man.
It's just finding a woman, nothing serious. She's not a jealous woman.
"Alright, Your Highness, may I open the door?" Lu Jinghe wanted to get down to business. He could tell that Gao Yang wasn't angry about A-Lu's matter; her previous attitude was purely playful.
"No." Gao Yang shook her head with a smile and whispered, "Si Zi is asleep."
"Not long after you left, Sizi started clamoring to see her brother. I held her and stood at the door for a long time. She was already asleep when you came back."
Lu Jinghe said, "Then do you want to see me?"
"Why would I want to see you?" Gao Yang said, blushing. "I don't want to see you at all. Haven't I seen enough of you these past few days? I'm already tired of you."
Lu Jinghe smiled but didn't say anything, then turned and walked back to his room.
His arrogance has faded, meaning he can only sense other people's emotions and feelings; otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand Gao Yang's hypocrisy.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, Lu Jinghe began counting the stars outside the window: "One star — two stars — thirty-five stars." On the other side, Gao Yang blushed and fantasized about the two of them missing each other and wanting to stay together for a long time.
Lost in thought, she lost track of time, and after a while, she asked in a daze, "Jinghe, are you still there?"
"Jinghe—Jinghe—"
Gao Yang was afraid of waking the sleeping Xiao Sizi, so he didn't dare to shout loudly, only calling out softly a few times.
"Jinghe, have you left?"
Gao Yang suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that she had angered Lu Jinghe and made him run away?
Gao Yang first glanced back at Xiao Sizi, who was lying on the bed hugging her blanket and sleeping, then tiptoed to open the door and walked to Lu Jinghe's room.
"Knock knock knock————"
"Knock knock knock————"
"Jing, have you slept with him?"
Gao Yang called out softly, knocking on the door repeatedly.
There's a saying that goes something like this: "Huaimin—Jinghe also hasn't slept."
Although Gao Yang didn't know the sentence, she knew that Lu Jinghe definitely wasn't asleep.
Lu Jinghe has sharp ears; he definitely wasn't asleep.
And they were talking at her door not long ago, how could she fall asleep so quickly? Does she really think she's some kind of little devil?
Jinghe was also awake!
Gao Yang knocked harder, and the door opened with a click.
Gao Yang's eyes lit up; Lu Jinghe hadn't locked the door at all.
That's great!
Gao Yang never imagined that Lu Jinghe had deliberately left the door open for her; he knew she would come.
By the moonlight, Gao Yang could clearly see Lu Jinghe's "sleeping face".
"Gulp." Gao Yang swallowed hard and tiptoed onto Lu Jinghe's bed.
Although Lu Jinghe is a restless sleeper, he sleeps very soundly, and as long as she is careful, she will not be woken up.
Gao Yang quickly lay down next to Lu Jinghe, feeling both regretful and slightly relieved.
She regretted calling out to Lu Jinghe a few times, thinking he wasn't asleep yet.
Fortunately, Lu Jinghe was sleeping soundly, so she could sleep in the same bed with him again.
She always felt like her brain was broken. The rules of etiquette were so clear, and she understood them perfectly well—
But she just couldn't resist; she just wanted to climb into Lu Jinghe's bed.
She usually didn't want to say anything, firstly because her father rarely allowed her to leave the palace to see Lu Jinghe, and secondly because Lu Jinghe was a Taoist priest, and in her mind, the more powerful a Taoist priest was, the more otherworldly and dignified he seemed.
Lu Jinghe is so capable, he must be even more capable, and he definitely wouldn't like her climbing into her bed before they were married.
So she knows she was wrong and can correct it. She was caught sleeping in last time, but she definitely won't do it again this time.
Gao Yang thought to herself, she must get up early!
Poor little Gao Yang had no idea that Lu Jinghe was some kind of legitimate Taoist priest.
As a Taoist priest from the 21st century, he is quite open-minded.
He was overjoyed when Gao Yang climbed into his bed; it felt so comfortable to hold her, so fragrant and soft.
As soon as Gao Yang settled down, Lu Jinghe reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
"Oh dear!" Gao Yang exclaimed softly, sensing that something was amiss.
Lu Jinghe is so amazing, is he really sleeping?
Or was he faking sleep, pretending to be asleep all night?
She understood, and Jing Hezhen was also still awake!
