As dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room.

The little girl on the bed was still lost in her dream, a smile playing on her lips.

The man who shared a bed with her last night had already gotten up and was hanging his pants out to dry in the yard.

Wen Qinghe rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. For a moment, she couldn't remember that it was a dream. She reached out her right hand and picked at her ear.

Huh? Where did it go?

She tilted her head, refusing to believe it, and tried to empty the contents of her ear.

But even after patting her earlobe for a long time, nothing fell out.

She was a little anxious.

When Yan Xiao pushed the door open, he saw the little girl tilting her head and patting her ear.

He rushed forward, his voice tense: "What's wrong? Qingqing? Does your ear hurt?"

When Wen Qinghe heard Yan Xiao's voice, it was as if she had heard a savior.

"Brother Yan, the thing in my ear is gone!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiao assumed that the little girl had accidentally put something inside.

His expression was grave, but his tone was as reassuring as possible.

"What's missing? Can I show it to my darling?"

After saying that, I wanted to check her ears first.

"It's the treasure I got last night, I even chanted a spell on it!"

Oh, right, the spell!

"Mommy Mommy Boom! Mommy Mommy Boom!"

Yan Xiao froze upon hearing this, his large hand on her fair earlobe paused, and then, thinking of last night, his expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Cough, sweetie, is it possible... it... cough, it's just a dream?"

…

Wen Qinghe stopped patting her ear and raised her head.

Only when she saw the man's sharply defined face did her eyes clear and she return to reality.

Thinking about her series of foolish actions that morning, she felt so embarrassed she wanted to bang her head against the wall...

Yan Xiao probably doesn't think he married a stupid wife!

Ahhh~~ She buried herself in the blanket in embarrassment and anger.

The man's large hand quickly pulled the blanket back, "Qingqing, be good~ don't cover yourself with the blanket."

The little girl only revealed a pair of bright, star-like eyes, while a hint of a smile flashed in his dark eyes.

"Qingqing is very cute, I won't laugh at her."

Wen Qinghe covered her face: "Ouch~ Don't you think I'm so silly..."

"No, Qingqing is innocent and adorable no matter what she does."

Yan Xiao truly believed this, and his words came from the heart, making his listeners feel very convinced.

Wen Qinghe put down the quilt after hearing this.

Yan Xiao brought over the clothes the little girl was going to wear today and was about to help her put them on when he heard birds chirping outside the door.

"Sweetie, get dressed and wash up first. Breakfast is in the pot. I'll be right back."

…………………

Outside the door.

Xu Xian saw Yan Xiao come out from inside and crane his neck to look into the courtyard.

"Brother Yan, is your wife awake yet?"

Yan Xiao shot him a sharp glare, his expression unfriendly, his tone cold.

"Whether my wife gets up or not is none of your business!"

Xu Xian said awkwardly, "Well, I was just concerned about my sister-in-law~"

Seeing Yan Xiao's eyes narrow dangerously, he quickly changed the subject.

"Hey, Brother Yan, when are we going? We need to hurry. Hei Zi got the news that the goods there are not only cheap, but he also needs to sell them urgently."

When it came to serious matters, which couldn't be discussed openly, Xu Xian lowered his voice:

"Quite a few people have already received the news and set off; if they're late, they might..."

Yan Xiao frowned slightly, even though it was a decision he had made long ago.

But he just got married yesterday, still a newlywed, thinking of the little bundle he held in his arms last night.

This will make him leave for a few days, and he is extremely reluctant to leave.

But he promised to make the girl a rich woman.

That's all...

It will only take a few days in the end.

If he acts quickly, he can come back to be with the little girl sooner.

“I will talk to your sister-in-law and we will set off first thing tomorrow morning after I have settled things at home.”

Xu Xian chuckled: "Alright, I'll go back and prepare the money and tickets first. See you at the usual place tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he left first.

Sigh, I thought I'd see a fairy!

That Yan Ge is a real beast!

How did that delicate fairy become that beast's wife?

"What beast? What are you muttering and babbling about?"

Xu Xian was startled when he suddenly heard the sound.

Looking back.

Sure enough, it was Brother Yan.

Xu Xian was so frightened that he accidentally blurted out his inner thoughts. He realized that he should never speak ill of others behind their backs.

"Ha, Brother Yan, didn't you go inside?"

Yan Xiao, remembering the purpose of his pursuit, spoke in a stiff tone.

"Um, you guys prepare more money, and I can just deduct my share from it."

Xu Xian was shocked. "Brother Yan, you're out of money? That shouldn't be the case. You should have at least ten thousand, right?"

Getting married wouldn't cost that much.

Yan Xiao said proudly, "I have a wife. When a man gets married, he should naturally hand over his money to his wife. Aren't you one?"

Oh, I forgot, you're not married yet.

After saying that, she gave him a disgusted look from head to toe, shook her head, and left.

Xu Xian was left alone, bewildered in the wind.

Xu Xian: Damn it, of all people I could have picked, I had to pick this henpecked husband who'd go looking for trouble...

………

When Yan Xiao returned, Wen Qinghe was sitting in the main room, sipping her porridge.

The little girl was wearing a beige sweater that he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, and over it was a red jacket that she had previously criticized for its red and green color combination.

The morning sun shone with rays of light, its golden rays illuminating the corner of the table in front of the little girl.
