Chapter 131 - How Can I Leave You? (1/2)

”I can see the admiration in both of your eyes,” Wang Luo Hai smiled. They should have known that he wasn't going to put his life and his family's life to incompetent princes and he was just lucky that they were both his nephew. The bond was deeper than a master and an ordinary subordinate.

”They are able to prolong our time to make the robe in one night. Not everyone can do that. Who won't admire them?” Yao Ling gave him her honest opinion, smiling.

Wang Luo Hai laughed. ”True that...”

”So... how many days that I have?” Yao Ling asked curiously. She hoped that she at least got more than one week, otherwise, even with her ability... she would have to work crazily to finish it in time.

”One week. Can you do that?” Wang Luo Hai asked her back.

Yao Ling suċkėd in a deep breath, knowing that they were actually asking a bit too much to her. Her premonition came true! She should finish it less than half the time of her usual pace. She knew that she should pull an all-nighter for one whole week. She looked at Yao Ying and knew that she should do this for him. Sighing, Yao Ling nodded. ”I can, but I will not be able to do anything else except doing the embroidery for one whole week.” The meaning was clear... she would stay in this room and would not be able to pay respect to the elders just like usual.

Wang Luo Hai understood. ”I will arrange everything. Don't worry about your lesson, home matter, and Fu Rong matter. Your focus should be fully in finishing the robe. Do you need someone else to have you?”

”I can only trust Ning-jie, Father,” Yao Ling answered. She realized that Wang Luo Hai probably already knew about Ning-jie. She wasn't too naive to believe that Wang Luo Hai didn't know what Yao Ying and Yao Ling did behind his back. Wang Luo Hai probably did nothing, because he wanted them to learn too.

Wang Luo Hai nodded, acknowledging her decision. ”Go ahead!”

Yao Ling turned to Yao Ying and said, ”You can go to General Lin's house. Isn't it time for you to have Shi Fu to teach you? You don't want to be late. I already prepare the wine beforehand.”

Yao Ying nodded. He already saw that Xiu held a jug of wine and brought it along to Fu Rong. If she didn't prepare it for him, he would have forgotten about it. Having a caring wife was truly the best!

That one whole week both of them were working really hard. Yao Lin was focusing herself in finishing the embroidery, while Yao Ying took care of all Fu Rong's matter and learned martial arts skills from Shi Fu along with Lin Jian. His martial arts skills improved a lot because of Shi Fu's special training, but he still wasn't on par with Xiu and Feng's skill. Everything took time... he consoled himself. Besides, based on what Shi Fu said... Yao Ying was talented and he was able to learn everything at a fast rate.

Lin Jian invited him a few times to have a drink together, but Yao Ying rejected and promised him that he would only be able to go with him after Yao Ling finished her embroidery. Yao Ying felt that it didn't seem right for him to go for a drink and have fun when Yao Ling was very busy. He saw with his own eyes how diligent she worked and she only slept for half to two shichen at most every day. He could even see her eyebags were darker than usual and it pained him.

Yao Ying and Yao Ling didn't have the time to spend together, except when he went to Fu Rong and watched her work. Intimate moment? Don't even think about it! He couldn't even steal a kiss from his dedicated wife and it made him a bit lonely. That's why he kept loitering around Yao Ling with a dejected face.

Yao Ling didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. Yao Ying looked like an abandoned puppy --- even Ning-jie noticed his weird behavior but didn't dare to laugh at his face. Yao Ling decided to ask him, ”Husband... why don't you go out with Lin Jian? I heard from Xiu that he had been asking you a few times to have a drink together? Don't worry about me! The robe is almost finished anyway.” Yao Ling hoped that he would listen to her encouragement.

If Yao Ying kept loitering around her with a forlorn look, she also couldn't fully concentrate on doing the embroidery. Her eyes kept darting around him and well... she also wanted to laugh out loud. Yao Ling also knew that he also waited for her promise to give him pŀėȧsurė, but too bad... she didn't have any time to entertain him until the robe was finished. She was very busy ah~

”How can I leave you just like this?” Yao Ying furrowed his eyebrows, feeling dissatisfied with the way she indirectly chased him away. He was just worried about her ah~
