Chapter 139: About Acting Coquettish 3_1
Caught spying on him? Can he somehow sense it?
He Teng had a corner of his lips hooked up, looking at He Zhilan with a smirk, "Can’t sleep?"
"I can sleep!" He Zhilan shook her head emphatically, then shut her eyes tightly, "I’m asleep! Don’t talk to me!"
"Heh~" Also being amused by He Zhilan’s slightly asinine statement, He Teng mused secretly. Despite the obvious pretend, is she so worried about being found out spying on him, that he would hit her?
"He Zhilan, there’s no need to lie to me." There’s no need because he can find out. Plus, there shouldn’t be any lies between a husband and wife.
"I’m afraid of you getting mad~" He Zhilan shrank back a bit, her fear of He Teng was unlikely to change overnight. Even if the relationship between her and He Teng was drastically different from before, this fear, like an innate opposition, was ingrained in her and could not be changed in a short time.
"I am a man." The implication is, as a full-grown man, he deems it beneath him to have such pointless animosity with his wife.
He Teng moved a little, pulling out the woman who was only showing her eyes from the quilt and drawing her into his arms, "If you can’t sleep, then don’t sleep."
After a pause, as if thinking of something, he added, "If you have something to say to me then just say it, but if you don’t feel like talking or sleeping, then just quietly accompany me to sleep for a while."
