Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

Chapter 156 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber

Occasionally, voices could be heard coming from the courtyard. Ye Wanning, who was sitting, felt very nervous when she heard the light footsteps.

"it's me."

A deep voice seemed to be telling Ye Wanning not to be afraid, but after recognizing Xie Bohuai's voice, she clenched her fists even tighter.

When the red veil was lifted, neither of them dared to look at the other.

It wasn't until Xie Bohuai brought over the wine glass and said that according to custom, everyone should drink one at a time that Ye Wanning finished her drink.

When Xie Bohuai leaned closer, he smelled faintly of alcohol and had a strong masculine aura.

The rouge on Ye Wanning's face faded a bit, leaving a natural blush.

"I've had some wine and food prepared. You should wash up first, so you won't feel heavy wearing it." Xie Bohuai considerately asked Yunzhi to come in and bring water.

Ye Wanning felt very uncomfortable hearing Xie Bohuai speak like that; on the contrary, she felt more at ease with the cold and aloof Lord Xie.

After washing her face, Ye Wanning was indeed hungry. She sat down with Xie Bohuai, but Xie Bohuai didn't touch the food; Ye Wanning ate by herself.

After eating and drinking her fill, Ye Wanning finally thought about going to bed that night.

Xie Bohuai seemed to have seen through Ye Wanning's thoughts and offered, "I'll sleep on the soft couch tonight."

"This……"

"It's alright, I'm a rough guy, I can sleep anywhere." With that, Xie Bohuai carried the bedding to the soft couch. Just as he was about to put it down, he heard Le Ge'er knocking on the door, so he quickly took the bedding back.

"Mother, are you there?" Le Ge'er was not used to the new environment and was afraid that his mother was not there, so he ran over while Chunxi went to pour hot water.

Chunxi hurriedly picked up Le Ge'er, but Le Ge'er squirmed in her arms and broke free to the ground. She quickly coaxed him, "Le Ge'er, be good. Madam is busy right now. Come back with me, and you'll see Madam when you wake up tomorrow."

"No, I want to see my mother! I want to sleep with her!" Le Ge'er cried out. "Mother, please open the door! Don't you want me anymore?"

Ye Wanning, who was inside, couldn't bear it and came to open the door. As a result, Le Ge'er immediately threw himself into her arms.

"Mother, sob sob... I'm so scared. I don't know anything about this place. I'm afraid I'll be all alone. Can I sleep with you tonight?" Le Ge'er hugged his mother's leg and acted coquettishly, ignoring Chunxi and holding his mother tightly.

Ye Wanning was in a dilemma. Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but Xie Bohuai was destined to sleep in this room tonight. If Le Ge'er moved in, how could she let Xie Bohuai sleep on the soft couch?

But Le Ge'er was making a fuss and refused to leave until Xie Bohuai took the initiative to let Le Ge'er stay, saying, "The child is still young, and since he is scared, he can sleep with us."

sleep together?

Ye Wanning didn't know what Xie Bohuai meant, but Le Ge'er, having been given permission, ran into the room with a smile, climbed onto the bed, and immediately lay down, saying, "Mother, come quickly, I'm ready."

Tonight is their wedding night, and Chunxi is afraid that Lord Xie will kill her, so she anxiously goes to see Yunzhi.

Yunzhi had no choice but to close the door and pat Chunxi on the back. "Alright, don't think too much about it. With Madam here, the Master won't be angry with us. We've all had a hard day, go and rest."

"But……"

"You're so young, don't worry about things like that. Look at those adults' attendants, they're all completely drunk. Learn from them." Yunzhi was also sleepy, so she pulled Chunxi back to bed.

In order to get married, Xie Bohuai bought the adjacent house and demolished the wall, making the house twice as big, so that there would be a place for Le Ge'er and the others to live.

However, the courtyard is still not very big, with two courtyards plus two more, but only three or four more rooms. Small has its advantages, though; it's cozy.

At this moment, Ye Wanning was still standing on the edge of the bed, looking at Le Ge'er helplessly.

The child was exhausted today, and seeing his mother made him feel at ease. He lay down and fell asleep soon after.

Ye Wanning mouthed to Xie Bohuai, "Why don't I have Chunxi come and take the person away?"

"Let's not. Le'er is too young. If he wakes up tomorrow and doesn't see you, he'll be scared. Since he's here, let's sleep together. Let him sleep in the middle. Don't worry, I sleep very soundly." Xie Bohuai emphasized the word "sleep soundly."

He actually wanted to get closer to the child, but Le Ge'er was a complete stranger to him, just like meeting an ordinary person.

Ye Wanning agreed to sleep with Xie Bohuai, but couldn't figure out why. She took off her shoes and slept at the innermost part of the room. After Xie Bohuai blew out the candles, the room instantly went dark.

Le Ge'er was not behaving himself. He turned to the side and hugged Ye Wanning's arm, which startled Ye Wanning so much that she thought she had run into Xie Bohuai, and her body trembled.

Xie Bohuai was also tense; it was the first time he had been so close to Ye Wanning and her son.

"Le-ge might get up at night, why don't you sleep inside?" Ye Wanning asked softly.

"No need, I'll take him," Xie Bohuai said, adding that he was fine. "Go to sleep, you've had a long day."

The two lay there like that, with Le Ge'er occasionally shifting his position, but they couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't until Le Ge'er woke up to get up in the middle of the night that Xie Bohuai carried the child behind the screen, but he was inexperienced and Le Ge'er peed on his trouser leg.

After putting Le Ge'er on the bed, Xie Bohuai hurriedly went to find his pants. Thinking he needed to change quickly, he didn't think much of it.

Ye Wanning heard Xie Bohuai open the cabinet but didn't come back, so she got up and saw Xie Bohuai standing in the square moonlight.

As Xie Bohuai took off his trousers, revealing his long and firm legs, Ye Wanning froze instantly and quickly lay down with her back to Xie Bohuai.

Xie Bohuai didn't notice Ye Wanning's side; he changed into long pants and went back to lie down.

Ye Wanning dared not move at this moment. The moonlight was hazy, but her general outline could still be seen. It was truly...

She shouldn't have been curious.

After much thought, Ye Wanning finally fell asleep, aided by drowsiness.

When Ye Wanning woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight. Before she could get up, she heard Le Ge'er and Xie Bohuai talking in the courtyard.

"If I practice boxing every day, will I grow as tall as you?" Le Ge'er looked up at Xie Bohuai. He didn't know what people outside were saying about Xie Bohuai. When Chunxi whispered that he should call him father, Le Ge'er tilted his head and asked, "Why should I call you father? Are you really my father?"

Le Ge'er had asked about his father before, but his mother and Chunxi both said that his father was dead.

How can the dead be brought back to life?

Looking at the person in front of him, Le Ge'er had many questions.

Xie Bohuai squatted down, looked at the chubby little boy, and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm your father from now on. You can practice boxing, but you're too young now. You have to wait until you're stronger. Also, we need to keep our voices down so as not to wake your mother."

"Okay." Le Ge'er covered his mouth and looked Xie Bohuai up and down with curiosity. "I'm very strong. Even my cousin Ye is not as strong as me. Don't underestimate me."

As they were talking, Le Ge'er caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye. He turned around and ran over excitedly, "Mother, you're awake!"
