Wan Feng hurriedly agreed. “Yes, do you need me to go with you, Master?”
The State Preceptor said, “There’s no need. I’ll go alone.”
“Oh.” Wan Feng was still feeling guilty about lying and did not mind that his master had left him behind.
… .
On the other hand, after Yan Jiuchao finished dealing with official business in the cabinet, he really did not attend the usual meeting. He flicked his sleeves and sat in his carriage arrogantly.
After entering June, the day became longer and longer. When Yan Jiuchao and Shadow Thirteen arrived at Lotus Flower Village, the sky was still bright. The villagers who came to apply for jobs had already left one after another. The village returned to its usual tranquility. Smoke curled up from the chimneys and the fragrance of food filled the air. The adults called back their dogs and began to enjoy their dinner.
Ever since the Yu family opened a workshop, the villagers’ lives had improved. Not only did they no longer have to go hungry, but they could also eat meat every few days. Along the way, the gluttonous worms in Yan Jiuchao and Shadow Thirteen’s stomachs were attracted by the fragrance of meat.
Yan Jiuchao alighted from the carriage in front of his house. Shadow Thirteen pulled the horse to the backyard to eat grass. Yu Wan heard the commotion from the carriage and walked out. When she saw Yan Jiuchao, she was stunned.
Yan Jiuchao had come straight from the cabinet and did not have the time to change his clothes. He was wearing a purple court dress. The purple brocade that was like a pendant made the black python belt tightly wrap around his strong waist. He was tall and slender. His sleeves casually hung down. It gave an inviolable dignity that was different from his usual appearance.
The twilight shone on his jade-like face, making him look like he was covered in a faint Buddha light.
Yu Wan was once again stunned by her husband’s divine face. The Nine Temples High God was probably only so-so compared to him.
After staying at home for a day, she naturally understood what he had done for the Yu family. The problem of the bandits had been resolved, and those who were willing to stay were all legal small miners. Those who were unwilling to stay had also been resolved by him without any hidden dangers. In addition, she had also obtained the document to open the mine. These were all things she did not know.
In this world, there were always men who were all talk and no action, and there were also men who were all action and no talk. Obviously, her little husband was the latter.
Yu Wan smiled at him.
“What are you looking at?” Yan Jiuchao asked indifferently.
“Looking at you,” Yu Wan said with a smile.
“Shameless.” Yan Jiuchao turned his face away coldly.
This bad temper had angered her a lot in the past. Now, she only felt that it was extremely cute. Yu Wan continued to look at him without blinking.
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “Even if today is a day for sex, you don’t have to be so impatient, right?”
“Huh? The day of sex?” Yu Wan was stunned and started calculating.
Yan Jiuchao frowned. Yu Wan’s almond-shaped eyes widened.
“You forgot?”
“You remember?”
The two of them spoke in unison.
This was awkward. One was someone who talked about having sex all day, and the other was someone who was as cold as ice and abstinent as a fairy. However, the former had forgotten, and the latter remembered. The expressions of the two of them instantly became very subtle.
Yan Jiuchao snorted and said, “I thought you were talking about such an important day day and night, but it turns out you don’t remember. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come.”
“You make it sound like you’re counting the days every day,” Yu Wan muttered casually.
Yan Jiuchao’s expression tightened.
Yu Wan exclaimed, “Are you really counting?”
Yan Jiuchao said seriously, “No!”
This matter began with curing the poison and was loyal to his instincts. Although every round could make her feel uncomfortable every night, that was mainly because he could last for a long time and had not done it many times. During the day, he did not let her touch him at all, and after announcing that they were only going to have sex every ten days, he had never shown any impatience. She once suspected that he was actually not interested in this kind of thing.
Yu Wan thought about how he secretly counted down the days every day and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yu Ah Wan!” Yan Jiuchao’s face darkened!
Yu Wan held back her laughter with great difficulty.
Yan Jiuchao blushed and said coldly, “Go in!”
Yu Wan did not move.
Yan Jiuchao took a few steps and realized that she did not follow. He turned around and asked, “What are you doing again?”
Yu Wan handed her hand to him.
Yan Jiuchao did not move his hand behind his back. He glared at her coldly. “It’s indecent!” With that, he crossed the threshold like a gentleman.
Yu Wan looked at his seemingly calm back and smiled. “Let’s see if you can still say this at night.”
The family had dinner at the Ding Family’s new residence. The more Aunt looked at Yan Jiuchao, the more she liked him. She said that since it was late, they might as well stay for the night and leave tomorrow.
