Chapter: 158 . 2 out of 171

Wei Luo regretted her words as soon as she said them . She anxiously stretched her hand out and grabbed Zhao’s hand, “I was just casually saying those words . It wasn’t my true intention . Don’t be angry . ”

Zhao Jie didn’t move at all . He didn't even turn his hand over to hold her hand in his . He only closed his eyes and tiredly said, “I’m going outside to walk around . ”

Wei Luo knew that he was angry . If she really allowed him to go out without clearing up their misunderstanding, their grievance would only worsen with time . She hurriedly stood up and grabbed his sleeve . “Don’t! You can’t go out!”

She had forgotten that she was soaking her feet . Both of her feet were inside a wooden basin . She stumbled for a moment before she started to fall forward . Wei Luo closed her eyes and thought this fall was really going to hurt . However, she didn’t feel pain and only felt warmth . When she raised her head, Zhao Jie was directly looking at her with an expressionless face . His thin lips lightly curved up as he said, “Don’t think that I’ll forgive you just because you threw yourself into my arms . ”

Wei Luo flattened her lips, then she took advantage of the situation to tightly hug him . “You’re not allowed to go out . ”

Zhao Jie looked at her without saying a word . A short while later, he returned her hug and sat down while holding her . He took a towel from a nearby shelf, lifted up her feet, and lowered his eyes as he dried her feet for her .

Wei Luo look at him for a while before she asked, “Are you still mad?”

Zhao Jie stayed silent and only raised his eyes . He was clearly asking her, “What do you think?”

Wei Luo resigned herself to being wrong and silently accepted his anger .

A while after Zhao Jie had finished drying her feet, Jin Lu came into the room and brought a bowl of prepared medicine . This was the medicine that Doctor Sun had prescribed to replenish blood and improve her qi . As Wei Luo drank her medicine, she said to Zhao Jie, “So bitter . ”

Zhao Jie was sitting at the bedside and his hand was holding a book with the title “Jin Gui Ji Zhu” . He seemed as if he hadn’t heard Wei Luo’s words .

(T/N: This book is part of a collection of medical books . )

Trying to speak to Zhao Jie would only be courting a rebuff . After Wei Luo finished drinking the medicine, applied the lu tai ointment, washed her face, and rinsed her mouth, she climbed into bed . When she rolled herself into the inner part of the bed, Zhao Jie didn’t even glance in her direction .

So petty . Wei Luo raised her head to look at him . She stretched her hand and tugged his arm . She looked at him with a genuine expression on her snow-white face, “Don’t be angry anymore . ”

Zhao Jie was finally willing to look at her, but he only looked at her for a moment before looking away and continuing to read his book .

The servant girls had all left the room by now . The lighting in the room was dim . The only light came from a porcelain lamp that was on the square table that was decoratively carved with chrysanthemums and inlayed with ivory and by the bedside .

Wei Luo sat up . She looked at Zhao Jie and seriously said, “I didn’t mean those words . Big brother is so wonderful . How could I be willing to let someone else have you? You can only belong to me . If anyone dares to delusionally think she can have you, I’ll be the first person to not let her off . You can’t have a child with someone else either . Even if the empress pressures you, you still can’t agree . If you dare to agree, even if that woman becomes pregnant, I won’t allow her to give birth to that child . ”

Zhao Jie looked at her . The more she spoke, the more her words got off track . How did her normal apology become twisted to that direction?

Wei Luo also realized that she had strayed from the original topic . Disregarding everything, she threw herself into Zhao Jie’s arms . “Anyways, I like you the most . I’m sorry . Don’t be angry anymore . ”

No matter how hard Zhao Jie’s heart was, as soon as he heard these words, his heart softened .

Wei Luo seized the book in his hand and brought it in front of her to read . “What’s this? You were looking at this book the entire time . What’s so interesting about this book?”

By lucky coincidence, she saw the page that Zhao Jie had been reading . The topic written on that page was, “Women’s irregular pregnancy pulse illnesses . ” She was stunned for a moment, but her heart quickly felt warm . Even when Zhao Jie was having an argument with her, he was still thinking about her . Wei Luo wrapped her arms around his neck and burrowed her head between his neck and shoulder . All sorts of feelings well up in her heart as she said, “Big brother…”

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain on her neck .

She whimpered for a moment and instinctively struggled to move away, but Zhao Jie’s arms were firmly wrapped around her waist and she couldn’t move at all . Although Zhao Jie was very angry and had bitten down forcefully, he still couldn’t bear to harm her . He quickly loosened his grip .

With tears in her eyes, Wei Luo rubbed her neck . In her mind, she thought she was really pitiful . Li Song had bitten her last time and now Zhao Jie was biting her . Her neck’s fate was truly full of trouble and misfortune . But, if this would allow Zhao Jie to get rid of his anger, she would accept it .

After Zhao Jie bit her, he stretched his hand towards her to touch his teeth mark . Wei Luo thought he was going to bite her again and moved backward to avoid him . Seeing his narrowed eyes, she slowly moved back to her original position .

Zhao Jie said, “Wei Luo, do you want to try to give me to someone else again?”

Wei Luo knew that she couldn’t adopt a confrontational posture with him at this time . She moved forward and rubbed her cheek against his cheek . “Whom can I give you to? You have such a bad temper . You frequently like to discipline people . Your only good point is your face . Other than me, who can tolerate you? I’m still the best option . I like you the way you are and won’t be disdainful toward you . ”

Zhao Jie curved his lips, then he flipped their bodies over so that he was pressing her against the bed . He stared into her eyes and said, “Be good . Say that again . ”

Wei Luo smiled and said, “Not angry anymore?”

Zhao Jie brought her into his arms and a long time later, he finally said, “Ah Luo, don’t say those words again . ”

Wei Luo obediently stayed in his embrace and listened to his heartbeat as she said, “I was just too worried . I’m scared that I won’t be able to give birth to a child . At that time, the empress will definitely pressure you . Although the empress treats me very well right now, she’ll definitely blame me in the future . ”

“This won’t happen . ” Zhao Jie comforted her, “Even if there isn’t a child, I can adopt one of ninth brother’s future children . Moreover, didn’t the doctor say that as long as you treat your body with those methods, you’d become pregnant soon? Imperial mother is fair and reasonable person . She won’t have any prejudice against you . ”

Wei Luo was slightly comforted . She rubbed her eyes and said, “Let’s go to sleep early . I’m sleepy and I still have to go to Zhao Yang Hall to pay respects to imperial mother . ”

Zhao Jie’s hand went inside her moon white sleeping robe and touched her satiny skin . He kissed her and said, “We can’t create a child if we just go to sleep . ”
