Chapter 1551: 1551 sleep talking wife 2

"My Maid is waiting in the hall; let her return to the Gongsun Mansion to fetch some clothes for me to change into, and then head straight to the West Garden," Gongsun Qianru, with a face of poised grace, said, "I’ll stay here and keep Brother Chuan company."

"That’s fine," Shen Yun nodded, "I still have some things to attend to, so please excuse me."

"Lady Xiao, please do as you wish," Qianru bowed slightly, in a gesture of respectful farewell.

Doctor Li also excused himself, and soon, there were only Gongsun Qianru and a Maid of the Xiao Mansion left in the room.

Qianru found a chair to sit down, and the Maid respectfully poured her a cup of tea, "Miss Gongsun, please enjoy."

"What is your name?" Qianru glanced at her.

"This servant’s name is Xi’er."

"It is indeed a festive name." Gongsun Qianru listened to Xiao Yuchuan’s continuous sleep-talking, all about ’wife, wife... Qingyue, Qingyue’, and her jealousy burned intensely. She wished she could slap Xiao Yuchuan several times, "How long has your young Master been like this? Is he always asleep, or does he wake up occasionally?"

"Responding to Miss Gongsun, the young Master sometimes wakes up, but the times are brief. The doctor said the medicine used for the treatment has a sedative effect," Xi’er had the privilege of serving Xiao Yuchuan personally; naturally, she had been instructed not to speak carelessly by her master.

"I mean, how long has he been calling Su Qingyue’s name?"

Xi’er thought to herself that the young Master was truly lovestruck. As soon as she began to take care of him upon his return, he was sleep-talking about Su Qingyue day and night, to the point his mouth was dry and peeling, probably because of the deep and incessant mumbling, which had even rendered his voice hoarse.

A smart Maid surely knows what should and should not be said, "This servant only just heard the young Master calling Su Qingyue in his dreams."

"Is that so?" Gongsun Qianru was clearly skeptical.

"This servant would not dare to deceive Miss Gongsun."

Gongsun Qianru did not confirm or deny, holding the tea cup in her hand, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while, she stood up and sat down beside the bed. Seeing Xiao Yuchuan covered with a quilt, sweat beading on his forehead, she picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Qingyue... I love you..." he murmured painfully, "Don’t leave... I love you... I can’t be without you..."

Although his voice was raspy, Gongsun Qianru could clearly hear what he was saying. Her movement of wiping his sweat stiffened, "Brother Chuan, I am Qianru, your fiancée. I am not Su Qingyue."

Unfortunately, he was deeply asleep due to the effect of the medicine and could not hear her words. He was caught up in a dream, suddenly shouting, "I won’t allow you to be with Chang Haotian! You are mine, you are mine!"

Gongsun Qianru frowned, "Could it be that Su Qingyue is a whore, cheating behind your back?"

She had heard about Chang Haotian courting Su Qingyue even before their divorce was finalized, "To have you so deeply enchanted, that woman must be something special."

Xiao Yuchuan was completely unaware of Gongsun Qianru’s words, and kept sleep-talking ceaselessly.

Gongsun Qianru, who was already rather petty, found her fiancé hysterically calling out another woman’s name in his dreams. Not only did this embarrass her, but it also stirred a hatred in her so intense she wished she could tear Su Qingyue apart!

What a disgraceful woman, haunting him even after the divorce.

"Wife... don’t go... I love you..." Xiao Yuchuan, in his asleep state, suddenly shed tears.

Gongsun Qianru’s eyes widened in shock. What a despicable man, daring to cry for another woman!

She was furious!

Maid Xi’er observed her stiff, angry expression, standing on the side, trembling and gripping the handkerchief tightly, fearing her burst of anger.
