Something's Wrong With My Wife

Chapter 44: Miss Is Coming

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the small courtyard.

The moonlight was still like water.

The young girl was dressed in white, and her black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. She sat there quietly, like a fairy of the Moon Palace. She looked aloof and very lonely. She was as pretty as a picture.

Every time Luo Qingzhou saw her, he inexplicably had a false sense of delusion.

This unsullied beauty sitting in the moonlight was just in front, yet she also appeared to be miles away.

She seemed to be so far away that it seemed like she was not in the mortal realm.

She was right in front of him, and he could see her clearly, but he felt that she was so blurry that she did not even look like a real person.

Sometimes, Luo Qingzhou wanted to reach out and give her a light touch.

He wanted to see if the person in front of him was real.

Would she disappear like bubbles with a touch? Would she rise into the air and float on the clouds?

Of course, he only dared to think about it and not act on it.

Even though she was his wife and had already “slept” with him twice.

The cold gaze of the girl, who stood under the shadow of the roof every night with the sword in her arms, made him shudder.

What happened in Chengguo Residence on his return visit would sometimes appear in his dreams.

The moment the sword was unsheathed, those on the opposing end died.

As soon as the person heard the sound, he was already gone.

Her name was Xia Chan, Xia Chan who carried out a one-strike kill.

That was the first time Luo Qingzhou had seen someone kill right in front of him. It was also the first time he knew that there was a sword in this world that was faster than lightning.

That was when he realized that a human’s life was insignificant and could be ended easily.

Therefore, he seemed to be traumatized by the cold girl.

Even though he knew that the other party would not kill him without any good reason.

But tonight…

Bai Ling was not around, and neither was Xia Chan.

Luo Qingzhou stopped in front of the beautiful girl without any hesitation. He bowed and lowered his head. “First Young Miss.”

His voice was very soft.

However, in the quiet courtyard and the night, it seemed a little out of place.

Qin Jianjia did not seem to see him or hear him speak. She was still staring at the moonlight on the stone table in a daze.

Luo Qingzhou did not leave like before.

He raised his head and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. He greeted respectfully again, “First Young Miss.”

This time, Qin Jianjia seemed to have heard it.

She raised her gaze and looked at him. There was a hint of doubt and unfamiliarity in her cold and hazy eyes.

She seemed to be wondering who the young man in front of her was.

Luo Qingzhou froze. He looked up and met her gaze. After a pause, he said respectfully, “First Young Miss, can you speak to me?”

Qin Jianjia stared at him in a daze.

After a moment, she nodded slightly.

However, she still did not speak.

Luo Qingzhou waited for a moment before speaking again. “If you don’t want to talk to me, then don’t. However, I have a few questions to ask you, and I hope you can answer them. You only need to nod and shake your head.”

Qin Jianjia looked at him in a daze and nodded slightly.

Luo Qingzhou no longer hesitated and asked respectfully, “Were you the one who married me that day?”

This concerned the true relationship between the two of them.

If it was Qin Jianjia, then in this era, the two of them were a legitimate couple.

If she was not, then there was no need for further questions.

Qin Jianjia paused for a moment before nodding.

Luo Qingzhou’s heart skipped a beat. He asked again, “Were you the one who consummated the marriage with me that night and made love with me the other night?”

He raised his head and met the girl’s gaze. He stared into her incomparably dark eyes that were like the night sky without stars and held his breath, awaiting her reply.

The small courtyard was still silent.

Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.

His heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and stopped talking. He waited silently.

Under the shadow of the eaves beside him, unknowingly, a cold figure had appeared.

Like a ghost, she was silent.

Footsteps suddenly came from the door.

Bai Ling’s clear voice sounded. “Sir, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to wait in the room tonight? You don’t have to come and pay your respects to Miss tonight.’

Luo Qingzhou knew that he had lost the opportunity. Without any hesitation, he raised his head and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. He still did not get a response from her, nor did he hear her thoughts.

“First Young Miss, I’ll go back now.”

He cupped his hands and left.

As he brushed past the ripely attractive girl, Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and suddenly said, “Miss Bai Ling, are you going to look for me tonight?”

Bai Ling stood there dumbstruck for a moment before laughing. “Sir, what are you talking about? Why would I look for you?”

Then, she frowned and pouted. “Sir, you can’t say that in front of Miss. You make it seem as if I seduced you. I didn’t do anything of that sort!”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her again and did not say anything else. He cupped his hands and walked out of the small courtyard. Very soon, he blended into the darkness.

Silence returned to the small courtyard.

After a long time, Bai Ling walked to the stone table and squatted down beside the girl. She looked at Qin Jianjia’s impeccable face under the moonlight and said in a low voice, “Young Miss, you’re back? Did you talk to him?”

Then, she muttered, “I know that you’re unwilling to speak before you have cut off ties with the mortal world… However, Sir is your…”

“Hmph!”

A cold snort suddenly came from under the roof beside her.

Bai Ling stopped talking and rolled her eyes. She stood up and looked at the cold figure under the eaves. “Lass, why are you snorting? I’m talking to Miss, not you. Why? Are you jealous?”

The figure under the roof snorted.

Then, she turned to the side and crossed her arms. She held a sword in her arms and looked elsewhere with a cold expression.

“Why are you snorting? I know you’re itching down there and craving for it.”

Bai Ling sneered and ignored her.

Luo Qingzhou returned to the small courtyard and closed the door.

He stood in the courtyard and thought for a while. He went to the corner and grabbed a handful of dried leaves that were piled together. He placed them on the ground of the small courtyard, one by one, at the window.

After entering the room, he hid the Lunisolar Mirror and the Martial

Evaluation Stone under the bed and placed a few dead leaves in the room.

Xiao Die heard the sounds and was about to come out of the room when Luo

Qingzhou suddenly lifted the bead curtain and walked in.

“Young Master…”

Xiao Die had just said that when Luo Qingzhou carried her and walked into her room. He placed her on the soft bed.

On the small bed were two undergarments embroidered with lotus flowers.

Xiao Die was laid flat on the small bed and was stunned for a moment. Her face immediately turned red as she hurriedly said, “Young Master, you can’t. Tonight… you can’t tonight..

Luo Qingzhou placed his index finger on her mouth and shushed her. He said softly, “Don’t speak. I am only going to hug you to sleep.”

After saying that, he bent down to help her take off her embroidered shoes and socks. He held her snow-white feet and placed them on the bed.

Then, he took off his shoes and socks and got into bed too. He hugged her in his arms.

Xiao Die said shyly, “Young Master… Miss will be coming over tonight. Y-you can’t stay with me…”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything. He looked at the moonlight outside the window and the image of the young girl under the moonlight in the courtyard earlier appeared in his mind.

“Young Miss is coming?’ he thought.

This seemed to be a joke. A very funny joke.

Why would god’s favored daughter, a divine-looking person like her, secretly come to sleep with him in the middle of the night?

It would not even happen in his dream.

Tonight, he wanted to see who the girl who was willing to give her virginity to him and sleep with him was. It was a clear moonlight night.

Time passed quietly.

The night sky became even darker..
