I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

These words made her heart skip a beat, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand in fright.

Although she had seen and touched certain parts of him before, and witnessed the changes there, it was when she was taking care of him. At that time, she did not treat him as a man, but only as a patient, so she never had any improper thoughts about him.

At that time, she secretly mocked him, saying that his place was really small.

After touching it, her perception of that place completely changed; it felt like there was a rock there, incredibly hard.

Especially after the passionate kiss, and thinking about what he had just whispered in her ear, her face turned red to the roots of her ears in an instant.

She buried her head in his chest, a feeling of shyness welling up inside her.

Overwhelmed by his feelings, he could no longer control his desire to love her.

He suddenly felt a surge of strength throughout his body, and was able to effortlessly lift her up and slowly walk towards the bed.

His change surprised her. She didn't stop him or interrupt him. She just wanted to slowly experience his changes and let him do what he wanted to do like a real man.

Because she had already fallen in love with him, and she was willing to give herself to him.

He carried her to the bedside, gently placed her on the bed, looked down at her rosy cheeks, and kissed her lightly while his hands couldn't help but gently unbutton her clothes.

She closed her eyes slightly, quietly waiting for that moment to arrive.

But when he was halfway through unbuttoning her clothes, he suddenly stopped and hurriedly fastened them.

She opened her eyes, puzzled, and saw him running to the window in frustration, opening it and breathing in the fresh air to cool himself down.

She stood up in surprise, went to his side, and asked softly,

"Mo Ning, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

He shook his head,

"sorry."

Why say sorry?

She had no idea where he got those words from.

Mo Ning turned to look at her, reached out and plucked a stray hair from her forehead, then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I had some inappropriate thoughts just now and almost defiled you."

She clearly didn't object, so why would he have this strange idea?

She placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered words of comfort:

"We're husband and wife, it's normal for us to do this kind of thing, why would you think that way?"

Mo Ning closed her eyes slightly, let out a soft breath, and murmured to herself,

"I'm not sure I can make you happy, so I'm sorry, I can't be so selfish, I shouldn't have touched you."

It turned out that, in the heat of passion, he couldn't control his love for her and was so focused on expressing it that he completely forgot his own identity.

He regained his senses the moment he started unbuttoning her clothes.

He realized that he was now healthy and wanted to avenge his dead relatives and brothers. He couldn't guarantee that he would come back alive, nor could he guarantee that he could give her the happiness she wanted. He couldn't guarantee anything, so why should he possess her?

His sudden change surprised her, but she still comforted him:

"It's alright. You've just recovered, so you can't rush things. I reckon the food will be ready soon. Sit down for a bit, I'll go check on it."

She needed to find a cool place to cool down and ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Lan Zhi".

She was about to turn around when he called out to her.

She turned to look at him.

"what happened?"

With an apologetic look, he said softly:

"I'm sorry about what happened just now."

She smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing."

He added:

"Don't tell anyone that my leg has recovered yet."

Although she didn't understand why she was hiding it, she nodded nonetheless.

"I see."

She had Xiaoxin remove the protective gear from the room, then pushed open the door and went straight to the backyard.

She wanted to be alone for a while.

Judging from Mo Ning's unusual behavior, she had a vague feeling that Mo Ning might not be the Mo Ning she saw with her own eyes, and that he must be hiding some secret that he didn't want her to know.

Adding to this the fact that his hands and feet were brutally severed years ago, Aunt Mo's sudden disappearance, and the appearance of Yuan Tianxiong, who was completely obedient to him...

Furthermore, he said he couldn't guarantee her happiness. His health had clearly recovered, and if he wanted to, he could make her happy. So why did he say such a thing?

She couldn't understand why this was happening. She finally came to the conclusion that he must be hiding something from her. Thinking of this, she felt a chill in her heart.

She has given so much for him, yet he still has something to hide from her?

This was something she couldn't figure out or understand.

"Sister Lan Zhi..."

Xiangxiu's voice came from behind her, and she quickly pulled herself out of her thoughts, turning around to look. Xiangxiu stepped forward and asked.

"Why did you come here alone? Mo Ning asked me to call you back for dinner."

She nodded and asked casually, "I came out for some fresh air. Have you and Mao Mao found anything fun here?"

"This place is much more prosperous than our Binjiang Town. It's the most bustling place we've passed along the way, especially at night, it's so lively."

Seeing Xiangxiu's smiling face, Lanzhi felt very gratified.

At least she has temporarily forgotten the things that made her unhappy, and that's enough.

When she returned to her room, she found everyone waiting for her. She apologized and invited them to sit down, then, as usual, began to serve food to Mo Ning.

Mo Ning placed a piece of pork rib on her plate and, like a child who had done something wrong, said softly and cautiously:

"Lan Zhi, you've lost weight recently, eat more."

She shook her head casually, then put the rib back into his bowl.

"I'm not hungry, you eat!"

Her actions tugged at his heartstrings.

He had already guessed that she must have begun to suspect him.

Even so, he couldn't tell her the truth, nor could he reveal his true identity to her, otherwise it would only cause her trouble.

He has to face everything on his own; he must not drag her down with him, even if she hates him.

The journey from Rongcheng to the capital took five days. On the surface, they treated each other with respect, but in reality, they harbored resentment towards each other.

Lan Zhi had always wanted to uncover his secrets, but he was deliberately hiding them.

Lan Zhi was quite dissatisfied with this. This was the first time she had felt that he had changed since she had known him. He no longer seemed to be the sensitive and suspicious Mo Ning who was very dependent on her and would cry over anything she said.

On the night they arrived in the capital, Nie Yuan arranged for them to stay at the Home Inn. He then took the servants from his mansion to the Ministry of Revenue to deliver a visiting card, waiting to enter the palace the next day to see the Empress Dowager.

When it was quiet and no one was around, she made his bed and prepared to leave. He stood up from his seat, went over, and grabbed her arm.

"Lan Zhi".

She turned back.

"Is something wrong?"

"I have something to tell you."

Lan Zhi's brows furrowed slightly before she nodded.

"Okay, go ahead and say it!"

"You... have been very cold to me these past few days. Are you angry with me, or do you doubt me?"
