Chapter 700 River God 7

"I don't!"

God knows, all he said after seeing it was: "Small and cute!"

I didn't mean to complain about the size at all, but that angered people. I should have just kept quiet.

He Wei was filled with regret. He was so anxious that he kept scratching his head, afraid that the girl would never talk to him again.

"Don't be angry, I really didn't mean it that way. I like him too much to even think about it. I'm serious."

After saying that, he took out a bead and said, "Here you go, it's a water-repelling bead, so you can swim even if you can't swim."

Water-repellent beads?

She also has water-repelling beads, but the one in her hand seems to be slightly different from hers.

How do I use it?

He Wei has been giving her a lot of gifts lately, from the most ordinary luminous pearl to magical artifacts with immortal power; he has been very generous with them.

He Wei was delighted and immediately explained, "If you wear it on your body or put it in your mouth, you can breathe underwater like a fish."

As expected, it's different. Her water-repelling beads envelop the person in bubbles, focusing on the word "repellent," so the person can't get wet.

This was something she didn't have, and she happily accepted it.

"Then will you take me swimming?"

What could He Wei do? Of course, he had to do as she said!

However, swimming was inconvenient for women in ancient times, so he decided to buy a manor with water in his own home, where the little girl could swim however she wanted.

Ning Yan didn't know when his enemy appeared. Perhaps it was a case of "the gods take revenge even after three years." He Wei's mind was entirely focused on buying a manor with water, and he actually did buy one before the new year.

"Don't rush. We've bought the estate, but we need to renovate it first. It's winter now, and it's too cold to play in the water outdoors, not even in the hot springs. We can go there next summer."

"Alright, next year it is."

Seeing her displeasure, He Wei coaxed, "We can't go to the manor, but we can go to town. How about I take you to buy some new clothes?"

Ning Yan wasn't very interested, but she was going to finish reading all the books in the study every day, so going out to play was fine too.

So the two tidied themselves up, took their maid, and rode in a carriage into the street.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the streets were bustling with activity. Ning Yan had plenty of money and bought whatever she liked.

He Wei was inherently kind and grateful for her life-saving grace, so he was almost always willing to grant her requests. Now that he had fallen for her, he wished he could give her everything he had. He would do anything to make her happy.

Even though he clearly didn't like the food, Ning Yan would obediently eat it if she threw it in his hand when she couldn't finish it.

It was just an ordinary wooden hairpin, but Ning Yan stuck it in his hair, and he wore it happily. With someone so supportive, Ning Yan's mood naturally improved, and she laughed non-stop the whole way.

"How about this jade fan? I think it would suit you perfectly. Why don't you buy it?"

He Wei glanced at it; the jade fan was emerald green, and when the fan was unfolded, it formed a natural landscape painting. A red jade bead hung below, and the bead chain was made of gold. It was obviously very valuable, but it was also truly beautiful.

"Do you really think it's right for me?"

"A gentleman as fine as jade, unparalleled in the world."

"Your jade fan is just right."

He Wei is so beautiful. This little girl has only been in school for a short time, yet she can already use such elegant and literary verses to praise him. She's really amazing.

"Then let's buy it."

A jade fan was originally priced at three thousand taels of silver, but after bargaining, it was still two thousand three hundred taels. He Wei readily paid the silver.

"And you? Didn't you see any jewelry you liked?"

Ning Yan shook her head. "I already have more than I can wear all the gifts you've given me, so there's no need to buy any more."

He Wei wouldn't listen to her; what little girl wouldn't like these sparkly things?

Although he lived a long life, he only came into contact with three women, including this one.

One was Ning Qiulan, who was tormented to the point of wishing for death because that woman wanted gold, silver and jewels and wealth.

And then there's that vixen, who's even worse. Every time I see her, she's covered in gold and silver jewelry, so shiny it's blinding.

The only one left is the young girl beside him. She definitely likes her too. She may say no, but she certainly doesn't mean it.

So, he dragged Ning Yan along and bought several more sets of jewelry.

Anyway, he has plenty of money, and he's happy as long as the girl is happy.

This is true. Whenever he sees the little girl smiling at him with her eyes crinkled, he feels extremely happy and can't help but smile himself.

I always feel like I wasted over a thousand years in my previous life.

The days we live in this life are the days we should live as human beings.

Ning Yan said she didn't lack jewelry, and of course, she really didn't. But the man insisted on giving her several sets of jewelry, which made her very happy. Unfortunately, this happiness only lasted until she came out of the jewelry store. She had only taken a few steps when someone called her back!

"Sanya?!"

Ning Qiulan stared at Sanya in disbelief. In her memory, this girl was dark-skinned, thin, and short. How could she have become like this in less than half a year?

If those eyes hadn't remained unchanged, she wouldn't have dared to recognize the person on the spot!

Ning Yan looked up at Ning Qiulan and smiled, "Oh, it's Auntie. You've come to the city to buy things again."

Ning Yan's tone was somewhat sarcastic. Normally, Ning Qiulan would definitely have taught this easy-to-bully niece a lesson, but at this moment, she didn't care at all.

Because she saw the river god!

How could the River God be with Sanya?

Ning Qiulan's eyelids kept twitching, making her feel flustered and disoriented. Ning Qiulan was not stupid; on the contrary, she was very smart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been pampered by the Ning family for more than ten years.

She was knocked unconscious, but woke up by the river, where Sanya was with the river god.

Based on her experience of being reborn, she was certain that either Sanya or the River God had been reborn.

She was knocked unconscious in the morning, so the person who was reborn is Sanya. She stole the credit for saving the river god, which is why she is with the river god.

There was another reason for her judgment: if the river god were reborn, he would definitely kill their entire family immediately!

Why couldn't God have let her be reborn sooner? That way she wouldn't have suffered that blow from Sanya!

That damned Sanya, she's just a lowly girl, how dare she hurt her and steal her opportunity!

"Sanya, you're too impulsive. Do you know how worried your family was when you suddenly left that day? Come home with me today."

“I am already married. Whether I return home or not is up to my husband. I can only go back if my husband agrees. Please don’t make things difficult for me, Aunt.”

Ning Qiulan's right eyelid was twitching at first, but now her left eyelid is twitching wildly too. These two are actually married?

"Sanya, you're not even of marriageable age yet, what are you talking about getting married?"

The conversation between the two attracted the attention of many people, and several people nearby were listening.

"Didn't Grandma sell me for ten taels of silver? My husband bought me and we got married. What does this have to do with whether I'm of marriageable age or not?" As for not getting the silver, that's not important.
