Not long later, Ling Chaofeng walked through the screen wearing his pajamas. Xiaowan stood up quickly and was about to clean up the room when her husband stopped her: ”We'll do it tomorrow morning. The stairs are too dark, so you shouldn't step on them.”
Xiaowan was carried to the bed. She thought that her husband wanted it again, but …
”Sleep early, I'm very busy tomorrow.” But Ling Chaofeng just laid down and turned to look at her, and said gently, ”The caravan is full of men, if you are not willing to deal with them, you can just rest upstairs. ”But they are not bad people, you are my wife, even if they have lust, they don't have fear, and won't hurt you.”
Xiaowan said, ”I'm not afraid. This afternoon, only Aunt and I are in the shop. I'm not afraid either.”
Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”So powerful.”
Xiaowan was very happy to be praised.
Her husband was a very mysterious person. He could be so fierce that her heart would tremble, and he could be so gentle that he could almost melt her. He could help the Mrs. Sun ”revive”, and also accept Second Madam's silver to teach her how to ”avoid disasters.”
But he was good to her, and everyone here was good to her, the Xiaowan never thought that there would be a day where she would be pampered by others.
”Hubby.” The bride read softly.
Ling Chaofeng looked at her deeply, but after his red lips moved slightly, he did not say anything.
Now that everything was fine, only that strange thing. How was she going to explain the whirlpool in the basin when the bucket and the laundry stick flew up? If it never happened again, could she pretend that nothing had happened?
”I'm asleep.” Ling Chaofeng covered her with a blanket, ”Wake up early tomorrow.”
Xiaowan's body rubbed against each other as she tried to lean against Ling Chaofeng's body. This was an instinct to him, and after determining that this man was the other half of her life, she couldn't help but want to stick together.
Ling Chaofeng smiled faintly as he embraced the petite girl. After finding a comfortable position with her, the Xiaowan went to sleep contentedly.
Another morning, the bride woke up early today. She foolishly looked at his husband through the window until Ling Chaofeng woke up.
She got a sweet kiss before she got up, and the bride's face never left it without rouge.
Xiaowan showed Ling Chaofeng the things left behind by the Miss Yue, while Ling Chaofeng gave her another bottle of ointment. ”I brought it back yesterday and forgot to give it to you.
After they had eaten breakfast, they opened up the shop. Ershan used a big broom to clean up the fallen leaves and dust in front of the door. Xiaowan came over with a bucket of water to sprinkle it. People with Qingling Village passed by the door. They clearly knew each other, but they didn't greet the Xiaowan. They went around far away and quickly left.
Not long after, dust started to rise from the direction of the Baisha River Pier. Ershan took a glance at it, then walked into the shop and said loudly: ”Innkeeper, the customer is here.”
When Ling Chaofeng slowly walked out, the Xiaowan ran over to his side and asked curiously: ”It seems like there are a lot of people here.
