Chapter 226

Today's events left Yan Zeli terrified. If he hadn't arrived in time, who knows what might have happened to her.

Sometimes he really wished she could be a little more selfish like Wen Dafu and the others, instead of being so kind and gentle, only ever sacrificing her own well-being.

Wen Xin bit her lip shyly, unsure how to answer him.

Is it bitter? It must be very bitter!

She had simply lived her life like that for the past twenty years, and there was no way to change it all at once.

She looked at him uneasily. "Am I bothering you?"

Today, Wen Gui and Wen Man actually came to the Yan family's house and made a mess of the place, which really caused him a lot of trouble.

And herself...

Wen Xin knew that Wen Dafu and his wife were not honest people; they were greedy and difficult to deal with, and they were determined to use her to exchange for more money.

But she ended up with Yan Zeli.

Because of the Yan family, they didn't dare to ask Yan Zeli for an exorbitant amount, but for them, that would be a huge loss.

They definitely won't be happy about it, and they might even do something to annoy people in the future.

Yan Zeli understood this, which is why he brought the village chief and others to the Wen family this morning to resolve any potential troubles for her.

I wonder how much money he gave to Wen Dafu and the others?

But there must be quite a lot!

Wen Xin's eyes reddened, and her eyes filled with tears of guilt.

Since she came into his life, she has only brought him trouble and annoyance.

Yan Zeli reached out and pulled her into his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness, and sighed softly, "What on earth is that little brain of yours thinking all day long?"

"What's bothering you? Do you know how long I've wanted to marry you?"

Wen Xin stared at him blankly. He had wanted to marry her for a long time...?

Yan Zeli kissed away the tears on her eyelashes. "Yes, I've been thinking about it since I was twelve, and I've been thinking about it for ten years!"

She was the treasure he had longed for but could never have!

If she had been willing to get even a little closer to him in the past, or confide in him about her troubles, he would have solved all her problems without hesitation. Now that she is his wife, he is even more grateful.

Wen Xin nervously clutched his clothes, "I...I didn't know anything about it."

Yan Zeli kissed her delicate nose, "The past doesn't matter anymore, what matters is that you're right here with me now."

Wen Xin's eyes shimmered with tears. "Yan Zeli, you're so kind."

Yan Zeli said disapprovingly, "Little darling, you should call me husband."

Wen Xin: "...Husband!"

He laughed: "Just call me husband, don't add 'old' to it. Your man isn't old at all, he's young and strong, um, Xiaoguai should know best."

Wen Xin glared at him shyly, "You...you're not serious."

Yan Zeli said, "Listen to this, you only have this one word to curse. Sweetie, let your husband teach you how to curse properly."

Wen Xin punched his arm with her small fist, "I won't learn it."

Yan Zeli clicked his tongue and said in a flippant tone, "That's true. With your sweet and soft voice, even if you scold me, I'll feel like you're seducing me. It really makes it harder for me to be a decent person."

Wen Xin: "..."

Could this man be any more shameless?

When his wife was so angry that she was about to ignore him, Yan Zeli chuckled, picked her up and sat her on his lap, and applied anti-swelling ointment to the wound on her arm.

She could never resist his gentleness, and would nestle softly in his arms.

“I didn’t know Wen Man and Wen Gui would cause such a fuss. I won’t let them into our house anymore.”

Yan Zeli didn't seem to care about the mess his house had made; he was only worried about her. "Let them do whatever they want, but remember to stay far away from them next time, so they don't hurt you again."

Wen Xin nodded obediently, "I understand."

Yeah, we can't beat those two up openly, but we can do it secretly! No problem!

As for Wen Dafu and Liu Hui?

Tsk, there's no point in fighting them.

Let them be tormented to death by their beloved son in the future; that would be the best fate for them!

Take your time and enjoy it.

However, Wen Xin had no intention of wasting all her time on them; those scumbags didn't deserve it.

Just think, the college entrance examination will be reinstated this September, right?

In his past life, the most regrettable thing about the fragment of his soul was that he couldn't take the college entrance examination to change his fate.

When she went to the provincial capital with Xu Haoyu, she looked at the vibrant, free and confident female students on campus and felt incredibly envious.

She had fantasized that she was one of them, freed from her shackles...

It's a pity that she treated everyone kindly throughout her life, so why did she end up like that?

A tragic story plot?

Oh!

Since they don't want sincerity and kindness, Wen Xin doesn't mind taking up the butcher's knife in this life and sending those scumbags to hell one by one.

But dreams still need to be realized. If she could live another life and still have regrets, then she would have lived in vain.

Wen Xin looked at the man holding her; it was too early to talk about these things now.

What if Yan Zeli asks her how she knew the college entrance examination was going to be reinstated?

What did she say?

Hmm, this is giving me a headache!

"By the way, why do we have ice in our house?"

This thing would be a rare find if it weren't for winter.

As for high-end appliances like refrigerators, they are not something that people in the countryside can afford; at least, no one in Linghou Village would buy one.

It's better to save money for emergencies or to build a house.

Yan Zeli said, "There is a cellar in the warehouse, where ice is stored."

He told her that the Yan family was once a very prominent family with excellent feng shui, and their food, clothing and daily necessities were even more exquisite than those of royalty.

There is a large cold storage room in the ancestral home, which stores ice all year round for the use of the Yan family's distinguished descendants.

Later, although the Yan family dwindled in number, they still enjoyed life to the fullest and were particular about their possessions.

His parents also built a small icebox when they built this house, and they would go to the ancestral house from time to time to use it.

However, Yan Zeli felt that it was fine before, but now that he has a wife, who would want to keep going to the deep mountains and forests?

He muttered, "It would be more convenient to buy a refrigerator."

Wen Xin: "...No need!"

What a waste of money!

Yan Zeli patted his wife's head and said, "I'll take you to the city in a while. There's just too little to see in this small county town."

Wen Xin grabbed his large hand, urging him to restrain his urge to shop madly. "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Yan Zeli knew what she was worried about and laughed, "My wife is really virtuous. But you really don't need to save money for your man. If all else fails, there are plenty of valuable things in the ancestral home. I can just move them out and sell them."

Wen Xin: "..."

Are you really sure that the Yan family ancestors won't be so angry that they'll lift the coffin lid and beat you up, you unfilial descendant?

"I'm not being polite, it's just that there's really no need for all this trouble."

Before he could say anything more, Wen Xin looked at him and asked, "Have you thought about leaving Linghou Village?"

Yan Zeli was slightly taken aback, his smile faded, and he stared at her with his deep eyes. "Do you want to leave?"
