CHAPTER 142: CHAPTER 139: I WANT A DAUGHTER, AND I’VE ALREADY THOUGHT OF A NAME

However, after he seriously tried for half a day, he barely managed to wear two pieces.

After a closer look, he still felt something was off.

The man furrowed his handsome brows, lost in thought.

Did he put it on wrong? Do girls’ clothes fit differently from men’s?

The only option was to take it off and put it back on.

But after trying another way, it seemed even stranger?

Definitely different!

Nangong Mo pursed his lips, taking it off and putting it back on once more.

The result was still far from satisfactory.

Nangong Mo: "..."

Girls’ clothes are easy to undo but so hard to put on!

With the night getting deeper, it might be better to study this another day.

Finally, Nangong Mo managed to drape the clothes on Yun Ran, wrapped her in a blanket, and held her in his arms, carefully using a towel to dry her hair.

Only then did he gently place her on the bed.

Seeing she was sleeping soundly without any sign of waking, Nangong Mo climbed in quietly and lay down beside Yun Ran, stretching his long arm to pull her into his embrace.

Looking at the girl’s sweet sleeping face, the man felt a wave of softness and satisfaction in his heart and leaned over to plant a kiss on her forehead.

The girl in her sleep reached out to hug him, burrowing into his arms like a lazy kitten.

Nangong Mo touched her forehead lightly, his eyes full of indulgent warmth, "Such a good girl!"

...

The next day, Yun Ran woke up, and it was already near noon. She shot up in bed at the sight of the dazzling sunlight.

"Oh no! I’m late!"

Yun Ran quickly got out of bed to find clothes, glancing down absent-mindedly at what she was wearing, her mouth twitching fiercely.

What on earth is this mess...

Suddenly she remembered soaking in the bath last night, too exhausted and sleepy to notice she had fallen asleep.

And then...

She woke up now, with a blank gap in between.

So during the time she accidentally fell asleep...

"Nan Gong Mo!"

"What are you calling me for?"

Yun Ran turned towards the voice to find Nangong Mo coming to bed with a food box.

Seeing him, Yun Ran shot him a chilly look, grinding her teeth, "Did you dress me?"

The man pursed his lips and nodded honestly, "Yes."

Yun Ran: "..."

[To dress someone like this, you’re quite talented!]

With a slight frown, the man hesitantly asked, "Is it... really bad?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Bad? It’s a new style!]

[If it weren’t for knowing you couldn’t see, I’d suspect you’re doing it on purpose!]

Nangong Mo: "..."

On purpose about what?

He really did try...

And aren’t girls’ clothes supposed to be worn like this?

When he was undoing it earlier, he only knew there was a ribbon, and pulling it opened it.

Yet he realized there were several ribbons yesterday!

Not knowing how they should be tied, he did it according to his understanding...

Is it wrong?

The man, feeling a bit guilty, pressed his lips together, "Lin Wanyue, this was my first time dressing a girl, lacking experience, so it wasn’t well done."

Yun Ran looked up to the sky speechless, rolling her eyes silently.

[Not well done? That’s shamelessly well-done! What kind of beastly person would come up with that way of dressing?!]

"If you dress people like this, you’ll get beaten to death!"

Nangong Mo: "..."

So severe?

"Lin Wanyue, I’ll practice more in the future; it’ll definitely be better."

Hearing this, Yun Ran gave him a side glance, "You want to practice more? Dream on!"

Nangong Mo: "..."

"Besides, didn’t you agree not to come in last night? Who let you sneak in?"

"I knocked."

Implying, it wasn’t a sneak-in?

"Did I answer you?"

"...No."

"There you have it! You snuck in without permission! Acting like a rascal!"

Nangong Mo raised his eyes to look at her seriously, "I was afraid you might drown."

Yun Ran: "..."

[Across the world, through millennia, have you ever seen someone drown in a bathtub?!]

"You could have woken me up!"

"I called you, and you didn’t wake."

"..."

[You sure? Why do I not believe it?]

"Why didn’t you call more? Why didn’t you shout?"

The man lifted his chin slightly, acting proud, "I am not a dog!"

Yun Ran: "..."

"Drink this bowl of bird’s nest porridge."

Yun Ran looked at it, and it did seem appetizing, but...

"I’ll drink it later; I haven’t washed up yet!"

Ying Yue appeared out of nowhere with a basin and toiletries.

Yun Ran saw the setup and blinked, "Here?"

"Princess, he said you didn’t sleep much last night, so eat something and get more rest later."

"..."

Yun Ran was speechless: she didn’t sleep much last night but slept half a day today! And want to sleep more? She isn’t a pig~

But Nangong Mo and Ying Yue insisted she stay in bed, eat, and nap.

Unable to resist and genuinely hungry, she let him have his way.

After a satisfying meal, Yun Ran stretched luxuriously, "Look, I’m wide awake now, and I have things to go out for."

"Take a nap, and go in the afternoon."

"..."

[Nap? You wish!]

"I have classes in the afternoon!"

[Hurry up, I could still go for two hours!]

Nangong Mo gave her a glance, "No class today."

Yun Ran: "?!"

"Really?"

"My territory, my rules."

"..."

"Aren’t you afraid they’ll report you to the emperor?"

The man raised a brow, smiling teasingly at her, "Lin Wanyue, since you care for me so much, how about having a child for me?"

Yun Ran had just taken a sip of water and choked into tears.

"...Get lost!"

The man gently patted her back, soothing her as he emphasized, "Lin Wanyue, I like daughters; I’ve even got a name—Nangong..."

Yun Ran slapped his hand away, "Get far away! I don’t know you!"

...

Yun Ran smoothly left the mansion, setting up her stall, and when passing through the bustling market, she saw the wanted posters on the street walls.

Upon seeing the person in the picture, Yun Ran’s eyes lit up, feeling instant excitement.

[Scoundrel! You have a day like today! Didn’t expect this, did you? Haha!]

"Five thousand silver for clues of the whereabouts?"

Yun Ran tilted her head thoughtfully—would certain places count as clues?

Should she report now or after finishing at the stall?

From the shadows, Feng Xuan looked at the posters of his master in disguise, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

Maybe take one down to show him?

He’s become a wanted criminal...

Wait?

Why is the princess taking down a wanted notice?!

Could it be righteous betrayal?!

...

Prince Qin Mansion, study.

Nangong Mo looked at the wanted notice Ye Xiao presented, his face calm and composed.
