Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

Ranmo was half asleep when he suddenly felt Qingsheng get up and tiptoe towards him in the dark. Ranmo pretended to be asleep, thinking he would leave in a moment.

Qingsheng squatted gently beside her bed, looking at her face carefully. Ranmo wanted to open his eyes suddenly to scare him, but was afraid that someone outside would hear.

Qingsheng slowly reached for her waist. Ranmo almost bent her knees to give him a push. Just as he was about to touch her, his hand stopped and then moved down again.

Ranmo's knees were poised for action. Just at that critical moment, Qingsheng's hands landed on her knees. He groped for a moment, then slipped his forearm under her slightly bent knees. He then extended his other arm under her neck and slowly moved it to her back.

After completing this set of preparatory movements, he lifted Ranmo from the bed with a single effort, then walked to his bed and placed her on the inner side of the bed. He then lay down next to her.

Ran Mo breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if she should wake up and talk. Unexpectedly, Qing Sheng didn't stop, but stretched out his right arm again, hugged her whole body in his arms and fell asleep.

Ran Mo regretted pretending to sleep earlier. She should have stopped herself earlier. She couldn't get away now, and she didn't dare open her eyes. Fortunately, he didn't make any further moves, just holding her and falling asleep.

The two bodies were pressed tightly together, and their breathing rhythms gradually became synchronized and coordinated.

This soft and comfortable embrace is indeed a natural and perfect place to sleep. No wonder children love to sleep in their parents' arms.

For lovers to sleep in this hugging position, they need to have a high degree of compatibility in terms of body shape, weight, strength, etc., so that they can sleep soundly in each other's arms and will not feel sore in the waist and back when they wake up the next day.

Although Qingsheng and Ranmo have big differences in height, body shape and size, it is strange that when they hug each other, they seem to be one and the same.

Sleepiness set in, and they both gradually drifted off to sleep. In a daze, Ran Mo reached out and wrapped his arms around Qing Sheng's waist...

The next morning, there was a soft knock on the door, and a servant called out, "Master, are you awake?"

Qingsheng and Ranmo woke up from their dreams and heard someone calling them. They looked at each other, smiled shyly, and then quickly got up and dressed. Ranmo also returned to his bed.

Qingsheng asked through the door what was going on. The servant said, "The mistress and the eldest young master asked you to come over, saying they have something important to discuss."

Qingsheng half-opened the door and sent a servant to fetch water for washing. Then he told Ranmo to wait inside and take a stroll in the courtyard if he got bored. He would be back soon. Ranmo nodded, letting him go and answer the question without worry.

About an hour later, Qingsheng returned. He smiled when he saw Ranmo, then his expression grew serious. He sat down at the table without saying a word.

Ranmo walked over to him and asked him kindly, "What's the matter?" Qingsheng looked up at her and shook his head. After a while, he said, "I'm afraid there will be a war on the border between us and the Di Kingdom."

Ran Mo was startled. War was no joke. Then he thought of something else and asked, "Is this the Di Kingdom my mother mentioned earlier?"

Qingsheng nodded. The world is truly marvelous. Last time, Qingsheng had said he'd go to Di Country to find his mother. And now war has broken out. Is this fulfilling a wish or going against it?

Ran Mo asked calmly, "Is this news accurate? Did your elder brother and the others come to you today to discuss this matter?"

"Yes. According to reports, there have been minor skirmishes on the border, but they haven't spread to other areas yet. The imperial court intends to first negotiate with the enemy, and if that fails, then deploy troops for war. The relationship between the two countries fluctuates, and it's difficult to predict where things will go."

Qingsheng glanced at Ranmo and said, "My elder brother and the others asked me to come over so that I can wait for my father to come back and discuss this matter. My father is responsible for commanding the troops to defend against the enemy, and we two sons should help him plan a response."

"Then just focus on helping your father and brother discuss the solution. I'm afraid I can't be of any help here, so I'll go back tomorrow and wait for your news." Ran Mo said hurriedly after hearing this.

Qingsheng stopped her immediately, "No, I brought you here, so I have to escort you back. I'll discuss this with Big Brother later."

Ranmo, knowing the importance of both public and private matters, simply said, "Don't bother. The important thing is to get the job done." He simply booked a return bus for her. Qingsheng remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

In the evening, he went to his elder brother's place and stayed there for a long time. When he came back into the house, he faced Ran Mo with an expressionless face.

Ranmo guessed the result was not satisfactory, and was about to say something to comfort him. He chuckled, hugged Ranmo's arms and said, "There is a way to solve the problem."

Ran Mo asked him what method he had. He said that because the matter was of great importance, his father was planning to notify Wu Shao's family to come to the capital for a meeting. Their fathers had served as generals, and his family, a noble family stationed outside the army, was not among those called up, so they could still shoulder their responsibilities to their country.

The eldest son of the Wu family, Wu Shao, had always wanted to serve his country in the military, so this was a good opportunity to gain some experience. Originally, they had planned to send someone to deliver a letter. Since Qingsheng was going there, it was a good idea to send the letter and pick him up at the same time.

Ran Mo was also happy to hear this. She still felt a little bit like she was holding back. It was a pity that her current skills only allowed her to be a lawyer, unable to prepare for wars and defend her country like they did. Unless she wanted to join the military in the future, she was afraid that her status as a woman would be a hindrance.

Seeing her with her head down, Qingsheng asked her what was wrong. Ranmo explained that she felt a little regretful that she could not do her best for the country.

Qingsheng laughed when he heard this and said that she was thinking too much. Everyone has their own responsibilities. They are also serving the country by taking care of social and domestic order in the rear.

Afterwards, the two discussed it again and decided to leave tomorrow and try to go and return early.

On the second day, the two said goodbye to everyone in the mansion. Not to mention the mistress, the eldest brother, and others, even the servants and maids came to see them off reluctantly.

Ranmo could tell that Qingsheng was quite popular in this family. He must have been nice to them, not putting on airs. Thinking about that, he felt a sense of peace and belonging.

This time, they took a wide, flat official road in the center of the territory. It was faster and more convenient than the previous route. They also rode in a carriage reserved for the government.

The two of them were not interested in the scenery along the way, just talking and exchanging instructions. In just two days, they arrived at Xiaoyue City.

After getting off the train at the station, the two said goodbye for the time being. Qingsheng went directly to Wu Shao's house to deliver a letter and discuss matters. Ranmo returned to his own home. He had been away from home for these days and missed it a lot.

When I got home, I found my mother there. She had returned the day before. I was a little worried when I didn't see Ranmo. But then I thought about being with Qingsheng, and my heart was at ease. Only Weihua had been holding back a lot of anger.

She questioned Ran Mo harshly: "Didn't you say you would be back soon? Mother has seen it, why are you still unable to stop yourself from wandering around? Qingsheng is an inexperienced man, but he blindly travels with you and lives with you. You really bring shame to our family!" If she hadn't remembered the slap her mother gave her last time, she would probably have had even more unpleasant words to say.

Ranmo ignored her and recounted to his mother the details of their detour to visit Qingsheng's home. As his mother listened, her frown softened, and she simply said, "It's a good idea to visit Qingsheng's home. It's a matter of reciprocity. Qingsheng came to our house, so shouldn't we return the favor?"

Seeing that the matter was about to be downplayed again, Wei Hua immediately became unhappy and yelled like a tantrum, "Mom, why do you always protect her? She is so willful and reckless, and sooner or later she will bring shame to our family."

Mother's expression changed and she said, "Don't talk nonsense. I approved Mo'er and Sheng'er's trip together. I trust them both!"

Wei Hua smiled coldly and said, "You are biased! If I did the same, I don't know how you would scold me." She thought of the time when her mother scolded her for associating with others outside, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Seeing this, my mother softened her tone and said, "I used to be a bit strict with you. But if you were as motivated as Mo'er, even if you disguised yourself as a man and went to school, I would treat you the same way I treat Mo'er now. But you don't want to study, and you hang out with those boys gossiping. How can I let you go?"

Seeing that she couldn't convince her mother, Weihua glared at Ranmo angrily, then lifted the door curtain and went back to her room.

Ranmo and his mother exchanged a glance. His mother waved her hand, suggesting there was no need to get angry with her. Ranmo nodded, rubbing the small handkerchief in his hand.

At this time, Weihua was walking out the door again, carrying a basket. Her mother stopped her and asked where she was going. Weihua said in a bad mood that she was going to Aunt Li's house to get some scraps of cloth to process.

Her mother nodded and told her to go and come back early and be careful on the road. Wei Hua grunted and went out.
