339 Coveting Your Beauty

“A newborn child can turn things around? Moreover, a premature baby?” Jiang Xi was dumbfounded. It was Zhao Ruifeng’s first time being a father, but he still had some common sense. The third daughter was sleeping on her side. She felt swaying and accidentally fell back to lying flat. It seemed that she had turned over subconsciously.

“I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel a little awkward.” Zhao Ruifeng said softly.

“Me too,” Jiang Xi said.

Although the third daughter was lying flat again, her head was tilted to one side. She was lying with the eldest son and the second daughter like a little kid. Jiang Xi hugged Zhao Ruifeng’s waist. It felt great to get back what she had lost.

“If you leave, I probably won’t be able to control myself.” Jiang Xi said softly. In her previous life, she had also lost her temper once because of Zhao Dengqi.

Zhao Ruifeng’s expression changed as he thought of something. He hugged Jiang Xi tightly and said, “I’m not leaving. I’ll never leave, but…” Zhao Ruifeng suddenly let go of Jiang Xi and looked at her with a frown. “I don’t know if I should say something …”

Jiang Xi was confused.

Zhao Ruifeng said, “We separated after a few days of marriage. There’s one thing I haven’t told you. I never slept with anyone when I was young. I slept with my mother for a year, and then my mother told me not to let anyone break in when I was asleep. Do you know why?”

Jiang Xi replied, “It’s because I’m afraid that people will covet your beauty. Don’t worry. You can sleep next to me in peace. I’ll protect your beauty and chastity. This will never happen again!

Zhao Ruifeng chuckled and touched Jiang Xi’s little head with a helpless expression. “On the day I was born, my mother sent away all the midwives and servants because I wasn’t breathing when I was born. However, with a pat from the midwife, I came back to life. After that, my mother discovered that whenever I fell into a deep sleep, my breathing would stop, my pulse would stop, and there were no signs of life.”

Jiang Xi was stunned. “I think I have a friend who’s like this…” As the best actor, Zhao Dengqi was directly involved in the day’s work. He would not sleep outside and would return to his hotel or room to rest after the time was up. He would not allow anyone to disturb him. Because of this, he even made the news headlines, which made the best actor very angry when he woke up. Even when Zhao Dengqi was sleeping, the Zhao family would specially send people to watch over him so that no one or anything could disturb him.”

Something flashed through Jiang Xi’s mind when he heard Zhao Ruifeng’s words.

Zhao Ruifeng’s eyes were filled with tenderness, as if he had become gentler and loved Jiang Xi more after dying. “I’ve been sleeping alone since I was young. My mother didn’t allow anyone to disturb me. Because of this, I’ve escaped death several times on the battlefield. I only need to lie down and fall into a deep sleep to be a quiet corpse.”

Zhao Ruifeng’s eyes were still, and Jiang Xi was speechless for a long time. “So you were just unconscious? Had a long sleep? No breathing, no pulse, no heartbeat?”

“If I wasn’t kicked awake by a naughty child, I would probably be able to sleep for a few more days. But that kid’s kick was really painful, it almost broke my bones.” Zhao Ruifeng was a little shy. He did not know why, but he had been very tired recently. He always dreamed of some messy things. There were a lot of people in his dreams, flying in the sky and swimming in the water. There were also a lot of people surrounding him, screaming and shouting around him. Some people would call him with a glowing stick. Even every time he went out, there were more than a dozen people escorting him, as if he was some important person. Those people would be crazy for him. However, he could only hold one person in his heart. The dream was so long that he thought he would never wake up. That was until he saw ‘himself’ and Jiang Xi lying in a white room with tubes all over their bodies. His heart ached, and he returned to the dark room and met the three children.

As he looked at Jiang Xi, Zhao Ruifeng felt like he had regained something he had lost. “I won’t sleep for so long in the future. I almost, almost got burned to death…”

Jiang Xi looked at Zhao Ruifeng worriedly. What should she do? she felt that her husband could be judged dead at any time…

“Hey, hey, hey, is anyone there?” Outside the saintess’ palace, a person had been pacing back and forth several times, looking around on tiptoe.
