Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1011: Respect

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xiao Rongyan hurriedly took an invisibility pouch and placed it behind Bai Qingyan’s waist, untied the ribbon of the Jinxian Guan, and set it aside. He squatted down to help Bai Qingyan take off her shoes, then grasped her feet as he sat on the edge of the bed and placed her feet on his lap, kneading them for her: "How are you feeling? Any discomfort?"

Xiao Rongyan remembered when his sister-in-law was pregnant, his brother said she couldn’t stand for too long, as her feet would swell. Every night, his brother would massage her to provide relief.

Bai Qingyan tightened her grip on the invisibility pouch, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks...

Through the thin layer of foot cloth, Xiao Rongyan’s palm radiated warmth, making Bai Qingyan instinctively want to pull her foot back, her heartbeat quickening.

Perhaps they were not yet an old married couple, and their intimacy... still made Bai Qingyan feel nervous.

Feeling uncomfortable from Xiao Rongyan’s massage, Bai Qingyan quickly pulled her feet back under her clothes and smiled, "Stop it, it’s very ticklish..."

Seeing that Bai Qingyan’s feet were fine, Xiao Rongyan was relieved. Gazing intently at Bai Qingyan, who had become his wife today, he said softly, "Even though it’s under the name of Xiao Rongyan, we are married... I’m very happy, Kid... from now on, you’ll be my wife."

The flickering red candles cast a glow on Bai Qingyan’s profile. Xiao Rongyan moved a little closer to her, placing his hands on either side of Bai Qingyan, slowly leaning in, wanting to kiss her.

Locking eyes with Xiao Rongyan and watching his handsome features draw nearer, her heart raced even faster.

Seeing Bai Qingyan’s shy appearance, Xiao Rongyan could no longer restrain his emotions. He gently kissed Bai Qingyan’s forehead, quietly watching for her reaction, then let his gaze fall to her lips, planting a warm kiss at the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Rongyan edged closer to Bai Qingyan, and the rustling sound of his clothes made her ears burn with heat.

"Your Majesty..."

Before Xiao Rongyan could deepen the kiss, Nanny Qin’s voice suddenly came from outside the hall, startling Bai Qingyan, who promptly pushed Xiao Rongyan away.

"Nanny Qin, come in!"

Bai Qingyan ignored Xiao Rongyan, slipped on her shoes, and sat primly and properly at the edge of the dragon-phoenix bed, appearing dignified and composed, though her ears were flushed red.

Xiao Rongyan could only sit properly as well.

Nanny Qin entered alone, carrying the soothing soup Xiao Rongyan, passing through layers of sheer silk and brocade, and greeted Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan. Only upon seeing their attire was neat, did she smile and say, "This is the soothing soup ordered by Madam for the son-in-law."

Upon hearing it was sent by Mrs. Dong, Xiao Rongyan hurriedly stood up to thank her, taking the jade cup from the black lacquered tray Nanny Qin held, and drained it in one gulp. He then took a step back and bowed to Nanny Qin, "Please convey my gratitude to Mother."

Nanny Qin, seeing Xiao Rongyan’s courteous demeanor, was very satisfied, nodded and softly said, "Now that the eldest young lady is expecting, and these first three months are crucial, the Madam is worried that the young lady and son-in-law, being young and inexperienced, might not know the importance of rest. Thus she sent the old servant to remind the son-in-law... ensure the young lady rests well, and the son-in-law should also retire early if feeling unwell."

Only then did Bai Qingyan understand, Mother was worried about them getting carried away, and so she sent Nanny Qin with a bowl of sleep aid for Xiao Rongyan, ensuring he slept early.
