Yuan Jue thought he was speaking in an arrogant and indifferent tone, but in his half-conscious state, his words turned into soft “aowu” sounds. It wasn’t a puppyish milky sound. On the contrary, it was a low-pitched, s*xy, mature, and masculine sound. Not only that, his voice sounded hoarse because most of his attention was focused on restraining the fiend energy. When all kinds of unsuitable qualities were layered together, it formed a sensual attractive rhythm.
While doing her best to support the wolf from falling down, Ruan Qiuqiu tried to extract spiritual energy from her dantian that hadn’t recovered from being overdrawn earlier today to relieve Mr. Gray Wolf’s pain.
When she sent the spiritual energy that she squeezed out with great difficulty to Mr. Gray Wolf, he seemed to wake up from that half-conscious state.
His bright red eyes were half-opened, and there were snowflakes on his long eyelashes.
The wolf rather ferociously snarled at Ruan Qiuqiu. His thin lips were almost bitten through by his fangs. “Aowu!” (Don’t need it!)
Yuan Jue could sense that his wife was already exhausted. He didn’t want Ruan Qiuqiu to continue using her spiritual energy for him when she had so little.
Ruan Qiuqiu was puzzled. Was he acting petulant because he was in too much pain? Did he want to be pampered?
The wolf had never acted spoiled before, so she was very weak to this. She helplessly sighed and struggled to raise her other hand. She gently patted the wolf’s head.
“It’ll be okay,” Ruan Qiuqiu coaxed, “It’ll stop hurting soon.”
The wolf: “…”
He had the nagging feeling that his wife had misunderstood. While trying his best to maintain an arrogant and indifferent character setting, he slightly opened his mouth to clarify. However, he could only make wolf sounds. Those “aowu” sounds only increased the misunderstanding and made Qiuqiuq feel even more distressed for him
The human and wolf maintained this odd form of communication until Yuan Jue couldn’t hold on anymore and fainted. Flustered, Yuan Jue didn’t forget to bare his fangs again and again before fainting. He thought that it would serve a good deterrent effect.
Pretending to be scared, Ruan Qiuqiu consoled herself by clutching the fine fur on his ears to relieve stress. If it wasn’t for the wolf’s weight, she even wanted to touch his tail.
How come she hadn’t noticed before that Mr. Gray Wolf was so good at acting cutely spoiled?
Although she knew that the wolf had probably fainted from pain, she shamefully… thought the half-unconscious wolf had been awfully sweet. Ruan Qiuqiu couldn’t resist laughing at her thoughts.
Her heart felt both sweet and sore. While holding onto the wolf and dragging him towards the willow mat, she wickedly thought; should she tell him later that he had only been making wolf sounds before fainting?
Ruan Qiuqiu’s face was deathly pale. She looked forward to seeing his expression after she told him that. Would he be calm on the surface, but inwardly freaking out? Or, would he flush and be speechless?
From a distance, there was the sound of rustling branches.
Ruan Qiuqiu quickly recovered from being overloaded by Mr. Gray Wolf’s cuteness and became vigilant.
“It’s me.” Grandma Ruyi walked out from the shadows, picked up the extinguished torch from the ground, and relit it by rubbing it. “Don’t be afraid.”
Ruan Qiuqiu squinted at the warm, somewhat blinding light. She quickly adjusted to the brightness.
Somewhat embarrassed, she said, “Grandma Ruyi, I apologize for my husband’s reaction. He probably mistook you for a fiend.”
Qing Ruyi didn’t think it was a big deal. She helped Ruan Qiuqiu with placing Yuan Jue down on the willow mat, and then she pressed Ruan Qiuqiu to sit down next to him.
“Grandma will send you guys back.” Qing Ruyi stuffed the torch in Ruan Qiuqiu’s hand. Smiling, she said, “Grandma thought your husband was unreliable. With his reaction to defend you, he squeaked through with passing my test.”
Ruan Qiuqiu: “…” When did Grandma Ruyi decide to test Mr. Gray Wolf? How come she had no idea?
