The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 74: A rapist in the middle of the night?

Noticing the movement in the outer room, Ji Man sat up with her back against the wall and quietly stared at the shadowy figure.

"Who's there?"

The person checked Muxu's pulse. After determining that her pulse was stable and she wouldn't be waking up again, he finally turned around and leisurely said, "You're certainly a light sleeper."

The voice was very familiar. Ji Man rolled her eyes. He was a dignified marquis. How could he do something like sneaking into someone's room in the middle of the night?

"My lord, why are you here?"

Ning Yuxuan nonchalantly took off his outer robe, yawned, and said, "I couldn't find a peaceful place to sleep, so I decided to come here. I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Did he really think that he could fool her? Ji Man knew there was definitely something he wanted to say to her. She relaxed and lied back down.

Right now, Marquis Moyu was the least likely person to kill her. With him by her side, she could actually let down her guard.

After lying in bed for a while, Marquis Moyu let out a long sigh and said, "There's a problem that's worrying me. Sangyu, tell me. Wen Wan is pregnant. Do I still want Mu Shuqing's baby?"

Shocked, Ji Man eyes widened slightly. "Why wouldn't you want it?"

Ning Yuxuan unenthusiastically said, "I don't need that many descendants. One is enough."

Was he afraid that there would be a conflict between his offspring for succession? Ji Man didn't understand. What if Wen Wan gave birth to a daughter?

This man's mind was too treacherously deep. She couldn't figure out his intentions, so she decided to stay silent in the end to avoid falling into any potential traps.

"Don't pretend to sleep." Ning Yuxuan poked Nie Sangyu's peacefully sleeping face and chuckled. "You can't escape."

Ji Man turned around and buried her head inside the quilt. Her intuition told her that Marquis Moyu didn't come here with good intentions. He was definitely going to try to use her to benefit himself in some way. She wouldn't fall for his trap this time.

A warm breath came from behind her. Ning Yuxuan hugged her and tucked his chin between her neck and shoulder. He gently asked,"Sangyu, do you want to leave the confinement courtyard?"

Bastard! He was the one that sent her here, and now he was using this as condition? How shameless could he be?!

Ji Man took a deep breath and continued to pretend sleeping.

"You seem to still owe me a dare," the person behind her quietly said, "How about fulfilling it now?"

Ji Man opened her eyes, turned around, and severely looked at him. "My lord, Sangyu thinks that hurting any child would be completely crazy and cruel. If you harm your own child, then you would be worse than a beast. If you didn't want a child, why did you impregnate her? Mu Shuqing is almost four months pregnant. Don't you understand that it would be very dangerous for her to suffer a miscarriage?"

The smile on Ning Yuxuan's face froze. Looking into the eyes of the person in his arms, he saw a trace of genuine disgust.

He stretched his hand out and started to reflect on his behavior. Was he really a cruel lunatic that was worse than a beast? But, if he didn't do this, he would be stepping further and further into the crown prince's faction. What should he do? If the crown prince led him by his nose, he definitely wouldn't be able to guarantee the safety of his entire household.
