Chapter 29 (2/2)
Fu Shen said he was ”fine”, then reached out to hook Yan Xiaohan around the waist, atte to pull him back down and press hi particularly rigidly, and Fu Shen was instead made to roll froainst his leg like a boneless cat Yan Xiaohan treated this as if he were throwing hi a free ar up all the way yet?” he asked with a shed like a weary elder ”It's no good to fight against old age, man”
”Don't be so ht next to his ear, teasing hiorous one, Marquis; you latched onto et?”
Fu Shen finally realized that so down, cuddling, so why did the feeling of it in hindsight… see defeat?!
To hell with fucking Lixia Hui! He should have dealt with this chump on the spot yesterday!
He squeezed Yan Xiaohan's waist coltishly, putting on a fake s as you folloith all your heart, you'll have no li protected by this Marquis… Yan Meng'gui!”
One of Yan Xiaohan's hands had his, and he lifted hi Fu Shen, suddenly suspended inplaced onto Yan Xiaohan's lap soon after, a coat co down to cowl his head
Across the barrier of the soft silk, a fleeting kiss seeht it was like an illusion
”Of course you have all my heart, Marquis,” Yan Xiaohan replied
Tily in theearly into his retire their ti privately murmured to Xiao Xun; Fu Shen's mood was more than a little better than it had been before, with no low spirits fro truth On the contrary, he waswith that surname Yan every day and was never apart froon Guard a thousand-year-old fox that had changed its for Dragon Guards in the capital had the sa enticed their Sir Royal Inspector Envoy off to, and why could they not even find his shadow?
When Shen Yi'ce had received an order to coue's sentiments to Sir Yan while he was at it, the pair of honorable spouses were in theand pickling duck eggs
Within the yard was a ss at its side The Yan-Fu couple sat opposite each other, one steeping the eggs in strong spirits, the other responsible for rolling them in a jar packed with salt
The yard had a neatly-plowed garden bed planted with freshly-geretables, and to its side was a big constructed floral arbor holding wisterias, its flowers co down like a waterfall Chickens and ducks ran about underneath it, honking and clucking They were busy with their tasks, lips flapping about unis Shen Yi'ce stared blankly on as a duck stepped on their Sir Royal Inspector Envoy's foot while saidto the scenery… planting vegetables in a fruit orchard, having a flowering arbor and raising fowl under it – this garden of yours could be said to have been overtaken by it”
Fu Shen shot back at hieneral ruins the scenery even more, and isn't that what's taken over you?”
Yan Xiaohan shut up ih the corner of his mouth was raised suspiciously
Doctor Shen, duht to himself: I seem to be one person too many
”Jizhi's here” Yan Xiaohan noticed hireet hi, as if he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with two incredibly powerful, ether at all
”Sir, Marquis” Shen Yi'ce cupped his hands towards the: ”Are you…?”
Fu Shen sh, Mr Shen”
”How could I dare, how could I,” Shen Yi'ce quickly replied
Were the ru he heard in the outside world true, then? That his heart was broken, he'd changed in personality, and was now planning on re to civilian life?
Yan Xiaohan washed the salt off his hands, wiping the new in the capital?”
”This subordinate came for precisely that reason,” Shen Yi'ce responded ”Another Golden Crow Guard died He expired at ht in the city's East Emerald Pavilion, and someone came to report it early today This incident alarmed the Son of Heaven; His Majesty has ordered you return to the capital as soon as possible Full authority over the case has already been shi+fted over to the Flying Dragon Guard”
Yan Xiaohan instinctively lance, whothat this had nothing to do with hi to himself a bit, Yan Xiaohan put on a not-very-sincere sht, then It's quite odd; how has the Golden Crow had such completely awful luck lately? Is it an ill-starred year for theet involved before, but this ti, the Southern Office couldn't carry it anyon Guard Shen Yi'ce thought that Yan Xiaohan was holding a flicker of fire in his heart, hence the particularly obvious ridicule ”Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer,” Fu Shen said casually ”Be careful with everything”
The two see to talk about and returned to their rooether Shen Yi'ce sat in the yard, absent- his eyes over the chickens and ducks that were everywhere Suddenly, his ears picked up so, and he skeptically turned his head to look
