Chapter 108 - 108 Blushed

108 Blushed

Su Binglan wanted to jump down from the eaves, but Luo Jin’an was watching, so she could only pretend to climb down clumsily.

She got drenched in the rain, so Luo Jin’an immediately approached her and covered her with the oil-paper umbrella.

Su Binglan could not see Luo Jin’an’s expression due to the heavy rain at night. She only said softly, “I-I was excited that it started to rain, so I climbed up there to have a look.”

‘That should be a good explanation so Jin’an wouldn’t suspect me of anything strange.’

“Mhm.” Luo Jin’an nodded.

Su Binglan did not know if Luo Jin’an believed her or not. The atmosphere between the two was awkward. Maybe she was embarrassed, but was Luo Jin’an?

Su Binglan tugged at her dripping clothes and continued, “Weren’t you asleep? Why did you wake up?”

Luo Jin’an said, “I heard something, so I came out.”‘

Su Binglan wanted to say something and opened her mouth. However, nothing came out. ‘He heard something? Was it the sound of me exiting my room that woke him? Did he see me summoning the lightning and rain just now? Is it too late to find a reason for my actions?’

Su Binglan wanted to make an excuse, but she abruptly changed her sentence halfway through, “D-Did you see everything?”

Her question came out involuntarily, and she wanted to bite her tongue. Su Binglan lowered her head and continuously wrung her clothes. She thought Luo Jin’an would respond, but he did not.

She looked up to see Luo Jin’an’s expression and met his eyes.

‘What’s wrong? Why is he looking at me like that?’

She looked at her clothes and noticed how wet they were. Her nightgown was thin, and now that it was wet, it stuck to her body, exposing her frame. Su Binglan realized something, and her face turned redder than a tomato.

She hurriedly hugged herself and said, “T-That…”

Su Binglan was at a loss for words. She was a goddess and had never experienced such an embarrassing moment before.

“It’s pouring out here. Let’s go inside,” Luo Jin’an spoke to ease his wife’s awkwardness.

Su Binglan nodded and hurriedly responded, “Y-Yes, let’s go inside so I can change.”

Luo Jin’an held the umbrella for Su Binglan as they went inside. Still, the umbrella was not very big, and the rain was heavy. Even though the rain had already drenched Su Binglan, her husband held most of the umbrella over her head.

After entering the house, Luo Jin’an lit a candle. He placed the candle in his wife’s room and went left.

Su Binglan changed her clothes in the room in a flustered manner. She did not see Luo Jin’an when she came out and only heard the sound of crackling firewood.

When she went to the stove, she saw Luo Jin’an burning firewood. She asked in puzzlement, “What are you doing?”

Luo Jin’an replied, “Boiling water because you got wet in the rain. You should take a hot bath soon. Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold.”

Su Binglan felt touched when she heard that. Luo Jin’an was typically reclusive, so she did not expect him to be so attentive.

Still, she did not know if Luo Jin’an had seen what she did on the eaves.

“Thank you,” Su Binglan thanked her husband sincerely.

She felt a warmth in her heart that someone cared for her. It was something she had never experienced before.
