The Qin family is not a wealthy family. What little wealth they have is earned by the hard work of Old Qin and Aunt Feng. Qin Yifan is an official but he is not greedy and always sticks to the bottom line, so he cannot afford to buy a big house.

The house was small, and the rooms were naturally small too. The two of them were trapped in the cramped space, and Ding Youtian was secretly delighted. It wasn't that he wanted to go back on his word, but when the day came for his name to pass the imperial examination, he wouldn't be able to defy fate, could he?

"What are you laughing at?" Jian Ning rolled his eyes at him. "You deadhead, stop being so proud."

A bed can be a problem for her? What a joke.

Jian Ning took out a military blanket from the Baicao Room. It was the one she used when she was on a mission and camping in the wild. Baimei had been thrown back to the Baicao Room, and now he was well behaved and didn't dare to make trouble again. Jian Ning took it out along with the blanket.

Someone's eyes fell on the quilt that Jian Ning took out, and the corners of his mouth twitched. For the first time, he felt that it was not a good thing for her to have that Baicaojian.

After washing up, the two of them lay on the bed side by side, each covered with a quilt. Ding Youtian tilted his head and stared at Jian Ning without blinking.

"What are you looking at? Turn off the lights and go to bed."

The energy-saving lamp was placed on the chest of drawers on Ding Youtian's side. He didn't move, so she had no choice but to get out of the quilt in her underwear. Without thinking, she leaned over his head and went to turn off the light.

Suddenly, her mind went blank and her outstretched arm froze.

He couldn't help himself and went up to her to sniff her lightly. Seeing that she didn't move, he simply opened his mouth and bit her.

Jane Ning seemed to be struck by an electric current, and the warm touch made her mind waver.

They were originally husband and wife, and this body belonged to his wife. Well, there was nothing wrong with it. It was a matter of time. Her hands dropped softly, and the other hand took the initiative to hug him.

This made him even bolder.

The long-lost land of gentleness, the familiar feeling, he was like a starving baby, greedy but not reckless, but eating away at it carefully.

Little by little, inch by inch.

When he bit her lips, she lowered her eyebrows and met his eyes. His gaze was like water, soaked with a thousand kinds of tenderness, pouring over her, filling her eyes and drowning her deeply.

"Gah!"

Baimei stared at them on the beam for a while, as if he didn't understand what they were doing. Perhaps to see what was going on, he landed on the chest of drawers again, tilted his head and called out to them.

Jane Ning straightened up quickly, crawled back into her quilt, and pulled the quilt over her face.

That was a close call. She was in someone else's house. What was she doing?

The scenes just now flashed through her mind, and she felt like she was at a disadvantage. He was a veteran, and his whole series of movements were as skillful as flowing water.

What a loss, this old rogue, she has no experience at all, it's unfair. Although her body is his, her heart is hers. She is now one in body and mind, so in a sense, the body is also hers.

He got it too easy, what should I do? I really want to slap him to death.

"If you take advantage of me again or touch me, I'll fight you to the death!" She pulled off the quilt, revealing her head and face. Her face was still red, and she glared at him fiercely.

"Fight to the death?" Ding Youtian turned his head and glanced at Baimei, muttering, "I want to fight it to the death, I want to kill it!"

"Ga!" I didn't expect Baimei to understand human language. What does it have to do with it? I want to kill it, but there is no way. It flapped its wings and flew back to the beam.

It's the Air Force.

"Madam..." His throat was a little tight, and Jian Ning's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and she unconsciously said "hmm".

He said nothing more.

After a while, he called out again: "My wife...you are mine, forever."

"ill."

"It's okay, you have medicine."

"Go to sleep, the lights are off."

"I will wait. Tomorrow is the first month of the lunar year. I will definitely keep my promise."

"Well, turn off the lights."

Jian Ning didn't dare to get up to turn off the light again. After urging him several times, he sighed softly and finally raised his arm to turn off the light.

The next day, Jian Ning woke up and thought about the scene before going to sleep the previous night. Her face suddenly turned red. Strangely, she felt good and inexplicably happy.

Ding Youtian had already gotten up and washed, even earlier than her? Being a guest at someone else's house, he got up first without even bothering to wake her up. Jane Ning raised her arm to tuck her loose hair and glared at him sideways.

It was all his fault. He kept her thinking all night and she didn't fall into a deep sleep until the second half of the night.

She didn't know that in his eyes, every move she made at this moment was full of charm, like a half-opened flower.

"What are you looking at?" She glared at him again, tied her hair up, and when she got out of bed, dressed, washed, and went back to her room, she saw him holding a jade pen and writing with a purple hair brush. She walked forward and tilted her head to take a look, but she didn't recognize what was written.

If you don’t understand, ask.

"What kind of words are these? They look like ghostly scribbles."

Ding Youtian raised his eyebrows. He had gotten up early in the morning and was wearing a smoky purple cross-collared shirt with dark patterns. Around his waist was a light blue sash, from which hung the stuffed doll of Jian Ning and the sachet made by Duan Xinning, which he always wore. His hair was casually tied up, which made him look even more handsome and elegant.

He glanced at her sideways, narrowing his eyes slightly. "This isn't calligraphy, it's a house-protecting charm. It's a popular way to put this up during the New Year here. Brother Qin insisted on asking me to write something, so I'm reluctant to do it. I have to show off my ugliness."

Jian Ning saw him slightly curl his lips, his tone was a little teasing, he must be laughing at her lack of culture, mistaking the talisman for a word. Embarrassed, she said unhappily, "Then you really made a fool of yourself. This is obviously not a proper talisman, and it's not meant to protect the house. Don't bother..."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" Jane Ning stopped herself from saying anything and spat three times. Today was New Year's Eve, and she couldn't say anything unlucky.

Fortunately, it was stopped in time.

She applied some homemade face cream and said, "I'm going to help make breakfast. Yuechan and her sister are coming over too. If they ask you about Ah Man's whereabouts, just say you don't know."

Ah Man was able to communicate with Qiu Ge. Ding Youtian knew at a glance that Huo Jincheng had no relationship with Yuechan and the others, and could only be Ah Man's mother.

"Okay, I won't tell you."

Yuechan and his sister did not ask him. They came to say goodbye. Yue'e went to Tianxiangju early in the morning and gave all the jewelry and silver she had saved over the years to the madam. She only kept some loose change for herself, took a bag filled with a few clothes, shoes and socks, and left without taking anything else.

At first, the madam was reluctant to give up her as a cash cow and tried to keep her by using her eloquence. Although she only sold her art and not her body, she was beautiful and had excellent piano and singing skills, so many customers came for her because of her reputation.

Yue'e was unmoved. Tianxiangju was just her temporary shelter. She said frankly that she was a member of the Ganao tribe. If they forced her to stay, the worst that could happen was that they would die together.

When the madam heard this, she was scared. She didn't want to die, so she had to let her go.

When Jian Ning came downstairs again, the two of them greeted her, refused to stay for breakfast, and did not say where they were going. After bowing to Qin Yifan, they said goodbye and left.

"Sister." After the brother and sister left, Mei Niang held Jian Ning's hand mysteriously, pulled her aside and said, "You said it's magical or not. You asked me when I came back yesterday. I seemed to have a dream last night about having a baby."

"Oh, what did you dream about?"
