Yu Wenhao asked for the details of the case and then waited for the sheriff and the police to come back to report. He didn’t get the result of the forensic autopsy, either. What he could do was just wait. It was dark by now.
It was already evening when he left the Jingzhao Department.
He hurried to Yu Wenhuai’s Residence without stopping. When he went in, he saw Yuan Qingling talking to princess Luoping happily.
He was curious. Since what happened in Prince Residence, Princess Luoping hated Yuan Qingling.
He went in with doubts. Seeing him coming in, Princess Luoping smiled. “We were just talking about you and here you are. Are you OK? You look so pale. Are you sick?”
Yu Wenhao glanced at Yuan Qingling who was holding a cup of water, secretly blinking at him.
He couldn’t help smiling and said, “I’m OK. I was busy with government affairs so I’m a little tired.”
“Tired? Then why don’t you go home with Qingling.” princess Luoping said.
“I want to say hello to Wenhuai first.”
“Please don’t. He just fell asleep.” princess Luoping waved her hand.
With a sigh of relief, she looked at Yuan Qingling and said, “I didn’t know why father asked Qingling to treat Wenhuai but I got it now. Wenhuai is much better. He has coughed less and hasn't coughed up blood so far. It seems that things are getting better.”
Yu Wenhao took a look at Yuan Qingling. Now he knew why Princess Luoping was friendly to her.
“Well, please take care. We are going,” Yu Wenhao said to Princess Luoping.
“OK. Please come back early tomorrow,” Princess Luoping said.
Both of them turned around. Nurse Xi didn’t follow them but stayed in Prince Huai’s Residence to take care of him and made sure that he didn’t miss any medicine.
Princess Luoping believed that Prince Huai would like to take medicines but she just worried that there were others who wanted to prevent him from doing so. Nurse Xi of who even Ms. Lu was in awe was bold enough to protect Prince Huai. As long as she was present, no one dared stop him from taking medicines.
The carriage stopped outside. Yu Wenhao got on the carriage first and then stretched out his hand to Yuan Qingling. Yuan Qingling hesitated for a while and then put her hand into his slowly and boarded the carriage.
After sitting down, Yu Wenhao kept holding her hand.
His hand was a little wet with warmth and coolness.
His hands were hard and hers soft. Both hands were intertwined.
They sat stiffly. None of them spoke.
Their hearts seemed to beat louder than the carriage.
Yu Wenhao felt that he had been tortured and kept thinking about that kiss in the government office for a whole day.
He had urges for many times to go back to Yu Wenhuai’s Residence immediately for her.
He had never had such a crazy impulse.
He didn’t even miss Chu Mingcui, whom he grew up with, that much.
He had been to the front with a pouch from Chu Mingcui but he didn’t take it out and take a look at it three months after leaving home.
Today, he looked at his palm over a hundred times.
That hand had been placed on Qingling’s breast. He would never forget the thrill of that moment.
And now his hand was holding hers.
He didn’t know why but he was peaceful.
Yuan Qingling was also thinking about what happened today but not in the same way as Yu Wenhao. She was wondering what Yu Wenhao was thinking.
Why did he kiss and hug her all of a sudden?
Did he finally resigned himself to the fact that she was his wife?
Or was it male lust and she was the only woman present?
