[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 18

Chapter 18: Xue Mu Coaxes Her Wife

The third day after the wedding was the eighth of the seventh month. When Xue Mu woke up, she didn’t know what time it was. She only saw that it was still dark outside, presumably not yet the Hour of the Rabbit. She discovered that she was still holding Dugu Yuan’an.

Yuan’an was still asleep. The inside of the quilt was rolling with heat and overflowing with a faint fragrance. Xue Mu secretly smelled it for a while, her face pressed against the soft pillow, not wanting to get up at all.

It seems I need to find time to go back and ask Mother what exactly one does to consummate the marriage after getting married. If that day really comes, I can’t make a fool of myself in front of Dugu Yuan’an.

Thinking this, she took another deep breath of the fragrance on Yuan’an’s body, climbed out of bed to put on her clothes, and walked towards the cold pool. Zi’ang was dozing off outside the door. Seeing Xue Mu’s back with sleepy eyes, she suddenly woke up and chased after her!

“Where is the Young Madam going?”

“To the cold pool—the cold pool of the Dugu Manor.”

Xue Mu looked at Zi’ang’s relieved appearance and said, “You are also loyal to your master. For her sake, I won’t take your past offenses against me to heart.”

Zi’ang was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, Xue Mu had already walked far away.

When Dugu Yuan’an woke up, Xue Mu wasn’t by her side. A sudden sense of emptiness hit her. She slowly sat up. Hearing the noise, Zi’ang pushed the door open and came in. “Master.”

“Where is the Young Madam?”

“In the Dugu Manor’s cold pool.”

“…Good.”

Hearing her say this, Zi’ang hurriedly said, “Master must not go to the cold pool again to be attacked by the cold air!”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled. “Don’t worry, I won’t go… Help me up.”

Two hours later, Xue Mu returned to the room. The breakfast on the table had already gone cold. She didn’t mind and started eating in big mouthfuls. Zi’ang happened to come in with hot food and was stunned. “Young Madam, that’s cold.”

“As for me, I just like eating cold things. Give me this portion too, I can finish it.” Xue Mu felt refreshed and laughed loudly.

“Is Madam in a very good mood?” Dugu Yuan’an’s wheelchair appeared outside the door. Xue Mu stood up and clapped her hands. “Yuan’er, have you eaten? Don’t wait for me anymore.”

“I have eaten. Didn’t you notice that some things were missing from the plates and dishes?” Dugu Yuan’an let her push the wheelchair in. Xue Mu said, “You are just like a cat, eating so little. How could I tell?”

Dugu Yuan’an blushed at her words. “I’m not like a cat.” But the feeling in her heart was incredibly sweet.

Zi’ang asked for instructions and left after delivering the food. While eating, Xue Mu said to Dugu Yuan’an, “Yuan’er, can I go to the Xue Star Tower again today?”

“Go ahead. However, I find that Maiden Mu Ruo somewhat special,” Dugu Yuan’an said.

Xue Mu thought for a moment. “Did Mu Ruo say something to you?”

“No, I mean, the moment I saw Maiden Mu Ruo, a chilling feeling in my heart reminded me not to underestimate her.” Dugu Yuan’an pondered. Looking at Mu Ruo, she always felt a sense of déjà vu.

“Mu Ruo is beautiful, and you are also beautiful. Could it be hostility between beauties?” Xue Mu joked.

Dugu Yuan’an looked at her and snorted softly. “You are also beautiful. Why don’t I have hostility towards you?”

Xue Mu pretended to be distressed. “Oh my, I don’t know. Yuan’er looking at me probably only feels close to me and won’t have hostility towards me. What should be done about this?”

Dugu Yuan’an’s eyes flashed as she said, “Madam is different from Maiden Mu Ruo. I am going to consummate the marriage with Madam.”

Xue Mu almost choked on the food. After coughing several times, she said anxiously with a hoarse voice, “Look, you’re mentioning this again!”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Xue Mu’s lips tickled, and a strange sourness and softness lingered on the tip of her heart. Staring blankly at Dugu Yuan’an’s focused eyes, she suddenly started to feel hot all over.

She hurriedly avoided Dugu Yuan’an’s gaze, moving her head back to avoid the handkerchief. “No rush to wipe, I haven’t finished eating yet!”

Dugu Yuan’an put away the handkerchief and took out the medical texts to read calmly. Xue Mu ate four big fruits, ten sweet glutinous rice cakes, half a roasted chicken, and a bowl of beef and sweet potato noodle soup in one breath.

Seeing her eat so much, Dugu Yuan’an sighed. “Will you still eat lunch?”

“Naturally I will. Are we going to have lunch with Father and Mother?” Xue Mu asked.

“Father and Mother went out,” Dugu Yuan’an said. “Since you’ve finished eating, shall we go for a stroll in the garden?”

Xue Mu’s state of mind was different from yesterday, so she said happily, “Sure!”

She pushed the wheelchair in the garden, admiring flowers and watching birds with Dugu Yuan’an, and told some interesting stories about the Xue Star Tower. For example, someone insisted on inviting Mu Ruo to a private room to chat, laugh, and drink after her performance.

Actually, this was allowed, but four Guardian Stars were required to accompany them—two outside the door and two inside.

This rich young master thought that since all four Guardian Stars were women, they were a big gift delivered to his door by the Xue Star Tower, so he tried to flirt with them. As a result, the person he flirted with happened to be Xue Wuluo, and this guy directly broke the rich young master’s finger.

This matter was considered a fault on both sides. In short, the Xue Star Tower compensated the rich young master for his fractured finger, deducting it from Xue Wuluo’s monthly salary. As a result, Xue Wuluo lost half a month’s salary.

Later, Mu Ruo took responsibility for the food for both of them. Xue Wuluo felt guilty, so she squatted at the door nibbling on steamed buns, refusing to eat Mu Ruo’s meat and vegetable dishes at all, resulting in her mask being poked quite a bit.

Hearing this, Dugu Yuan’an said, “This Maiden Mu Ruo is also kind-hearted.”

“Yes. when Xue Wuluo was picked up, half of her face was burned and ruined. My mother asked someone to treat her injuries, and later she wore a mask,” Xue Mu said. “Her relationship with Mu Ruo is still very good.”

Halfway through their stroll in the garden, Xue Mu suddenly heard dull sounds of bodies colliding. Dugu Yuan’an also noticed it; she was the first to follow the sound and look towards the sky.

A person suddenly landed on the square pavilion in the garden—Dugu Fengxing. Immediately after, Dugu Yunuo also flew down from the roof, diving downwards in a swift posture. A straight kick attacked towards Dugu Fengxing, the leg shadow like sunlight breaking through clouds, unstoppable!

Dugu Fengxing retreated repeatedly, jumping from the top of the pavilion to the water surface. With the tips of his toes tapping lightly on the water, he jumped onto the wooden bridge in two or three bounds. Stepping on the wooden pillars, he soared into the air, actually changing directions several times in mid-air, launching a continuous series of rapid kicks towards Dugu Yunuo. Leg shadows layered upon each other, and Dugu Yunuo continued to dodge.

Both of them drew a glimmering long sword from behind their backs at the same time. From the top of the pavilion to the wooden bridge, and then to the rockery, sword shadows were like clouds and mist in the wind, changing in thousands of ways.

Xue Mu listened to the humming sound of the long swords colliding. She saw Dugu Yunuo leaping to a high place, her sword momentum plunging straight down from the air. Seeing that Fengxing was about to be unable to escape, his figure suddenly changed, circling to the back. After Yunuo landed, she was surrounded by heavy sword shadows, making it difficult to judge the true direction of the attack.

Fengxing suddenly thrust towards her neck. Yunuo didn’t have time to block with her sword, letting the sword tip rest horizontally across her throat.

“Good!” Xue Mu suddenly clapped and cheered, distracting Fengxing. Yunuo parried with her sword, leaped up, and flew in front of Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an, curling her lips in a cold sneer.

“So it’s Third Sister and Third Sister’s wife.”
