Chapter 229: Sudden Confession (1)
After closing the door, Chi Xinru placed a wooden plank on it to block the door. She looked at Duan Yixin and said, "Xin Xin, you go take a bath first. When you are done, I will help you apply the medicine."
Duan Yixin thanked her and went to clean up. In the next room, Xuan Ruiquan heard Duan Yixin taking off her clothes and blushed. Due to his deep internal energy, his five senses are sharper than ordinary martial arts practitioners. If he listened carefully, he could even hear the breathing of someone a hundred meters away.
Chi Xiyou saw his face turned red and asked, "General Xuan, are you alright?"
Xuan Ruiquan coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment and calmly said, "I’m fine. Young Master Chi should be tired from driving the horse carriage today. You should take a rest, and I will stand on guard tonight."
"Then I’m going to bed first, and I will exchange with you later." Chi Xiyou said while yawning.
Xuan Ruiquan looked at his tired look and said, "It’s alright. I will sleep in the carriage tomorrow."
Since Xuan Ruiquan had said so, Chi Xiyou could only thank him and go to bed. Chi Xiyou fell asleep a few seconds after his head hit the pillow. Listening to his low and slow breathing, Xuan Ruiquan breathed a sigh of relief.
When he entered the room just now, he heard Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru talking. For the first time in his life, Xuan Ruiquan felt really nervous when he was eavesdropping on other people’s conversations. Fortunately, Chi Xinru was able to give Duan Yixin good advice. Otherwise, his progress in pursuing his wife may have been set back a few steps.
It was late at night, and everyone was asleep. However, Xuan Ruiquan was still sitting on the stool, staring at the wall and thinking of ways to pursue his future wife without scaring her away.
