Chapter 228

However, Wen Xin expressed concern, "Is it okay to just leave these valuable items lying around like this?"

Yan Zeli raised an eyebrow: "What's the problem?"

Wen Xin seemed to want to say something, but then fell silent.

Okay, no problem. Anyone who dares to steal from the Yan family is basically dead!

Under Yan Zeli's enthusiasm to give his wife everything he had, Wen Xin could only helplessly choose some jewelry that was suitable for her current needs.

Afterwards, Yan Zeli took her to the study.

The study was also very spacious, with large bookshelves on three sides, filled with books. Even the large bookstores in the county town did not have as many books as this one.

Wen Xin's eyes lit up, her pretty face shone, and her expression was much more vivid than when she saw the gold and silver jewelry.

Yan Zeli had long since figured out the girl's personality, and told her with a smile.

"These two bookshelves are filled with ancient books on feng shui, geomancy, divination, and astrology, as well as the handwritten notes of the Yan family ancestors. The bookshelf on the left has some ordinary books, including history books, travelogues, poems, and essays. You can read whatever you like."

Wen Xin smiled and nodded happily.

This time he didn't say thank you. He didn't like her being polite to him, believing that husband and wife are the closest of couples, and that it was only natural for him, as her husband, to do anything for her.

The word "thank you" stung him.

What made Wen Xin even happier was that there were brand new junior and senior high school textbooks, including Chinese, math, and English, on her desk.

She picked them up carefully, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling like stars. "These textbooks?"

Yan Zeli raised his hand and gently stroked her face. "I bought all of these for you."

He had known for a long time that this girl was studious, but unfortunately, she only attended primary school for two years before Wen Dafu and his wife stopped letting her go to school.

But she still studied hard by helping Wen Man and Wen Gui with their homework. Even when she went to the mountains to cut pig feed and collect firewood to rest, she would take a twig and write words on the ground and recite ancient poems.

Yan Zeli once heard a fifteen-year-old girl recite "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops" and "Li Sao" fluently.

Compared to her two foolish younger siblings who only had fun on their minds, she actually had a great talent for studying.

Unfortunately, Wen Dafu and his wife, who were both brainless, mistook pearls for fish eyes and fish eyes for pearls.

When they went to the county town a couple of days ago, how could he not have noticed her cautious yet longing gaze as she looked at the bookstore?

Fools don't cherish her, but he will.

She wanted to study, and he would support her!

Wen Xin's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled slightly, "Ze Li..."

Seeing that she was so moved that she was about to cry, Yan Zeli's eyes were full of pity. He gently pinched her nose and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't seduce your man in broad daylight?"

Wen Xin: "..." I was so touched for nothing!

However, "Aren't you going to ask me why I read these books?"

Before the college entrance examination was reinstated, what use was it for a peasant girl like her to read these books? It would have been better to work in the fields or find work in the commune, which would have helped her family solve their food and clothing problems.

At this point in time, not to mention farmers, many of the educated youth who went to the countryside had no hope of the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Yan Zeli raised an eyebrow. "My wife likes it, what reason do I need?"

He placed his hands on her shoulders, leaned closer to her, and his deep eyes softened. "There's no land at home that you need to farm, and you don't need to worry about making a living. I told you, I'll take care of you, my darling. This is the last time. You're not allowed to question your man's abilities again..."

Wen Xin quickly said, "I didn't."

Yan Zeli chuckled: "I know, but I marry you so that you can be happy, not so that you can be toil and worry all day long. You can just do what you like every day, and I'll take care of everything else, understand?"

Wen Xin's eyes sparkled. "But I said I would share the responsibility of this family with you."

Yan Zeli said, "Who said you don't have any?"

She was stunned. "Huh?"

The man chuckled softly in her ear, his voice magnetic and alluring, "You let me do what I like at night, so you have to do what you like during the day too, right? Otherwise, it's not fair, and you'll feel miserable."

"Wife, your man isn't really that heartless and beastly."

Wen Xin: "!!!"

Her cheeks flushed, and she shyly slapped his hand, "You, you...you rascal!"

Yan Zeli raised an eyebrow and said proudly, "Not bad, wife, you've learned another swear word."

Wen Xin: "..."

Yan Zeli wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pressing their bodies tightly together without leaving a gap, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Honey, if you really care about your man, how about I help you take a bath tonight? Hmm, we can bathe together too. While we're splashing around in the water, I'll teach you a few more swear words. You can use me as your practice subject then. Your husband loves you, right?"

Wen Xin... Wen Xin's pretty face turned completely red!

...

After marrying Yan Zeli, Wen Xin lived a leisurely yet fulfilling life.

There were no more endless chores, no more scolding from her parents, and no more bullying from her younger siblings. The timidity and sorrow in the girl's eyes were gradually replaced by a bright and cheerful smile.

This made a certain Yan feel a great sense of accomplishment, and he became increasingly infatuated with her, wishing he could be with his wife all the time!

Yes, Wen Xin feels like she's gained weight recently.

Well, it would be strange if it didn't grow!

He provided her with meat and vegetables for every meal, and he also stewed various nourishing soups for her every day, as if he wouldn't stop until he had fed her until she was plump and healthy.

Upon hearing her complain about gaining weight, the man immediately put on a serious face and began to grope her all over, only saying with satisfaction after he had thoroughly enjoyed her:

"Gaining this little bit of weight counts as gaining weight? Tsk, I haven't even had enough to eat yet. No way, I still need to keep working hard to support my wife!"

Both Da Yan and Xiao Yan were absolutely determined: for their own happiness!

Wen Xin raised her trembling hand and, feeling both ashamed and annoyed, smeared it on his face.

To some beastly man, it just seemed like his wife was seducing him again. Tsk tsk, his wife is so passionate, he loves her.

And then... that was it!

Wen Xin always fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion, thinking to herself: With this amount of exercise, no wonder he has to work so hard to replenish her energy, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for him to burn off!

Fortunately, she had worked for many years and had excellent flexibility and endurance; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand his torment.

While feeling sorry for her past, Da Yan also occasionally remarked that Xiao Yan was truly blessed!

Ah, getting married is so wonderful!

Wen Xin: "..." You pervert!

The two lived a warm and peaceful life, and the Wen family no longer dared to casually step into the Yan family's gate.

Of course, it's also because they're too busy!

...

Wen Xin is a homebody. She spends her free time at home reading, making clothes for Yan Zeli, and occasionally helping to tend to the small vegetable garden in front of her house.

Since marrying Yan Zeli, she has basically never left the small bamboo grove or gone into the village.

There's no need to go out. As for the Wen family and their relatives, let's not talk about them.

Yan Zeli has been very busy lately, leaving early and returning late every day. Wen Xin asked him what he was busy with, but he gave her a vague answer.

She roughly understood that a big shot from the provincial capital had returned to rebuild the ancestral graves and had contacted him through the village chief, wanting his help.

Previously, this was just a casual business deal for him, and he had no reason to be skeptical.

But now that he has her, he has to be careful.

He was born a jinx, with an incredibly tough fate; the Yan family's curse couldn't harm him, but what about her?

The two became the closest of couples, and no matter how talented Yan Zeli was, he could not predict her fate.

He couldn't afford to take any risks, so he could only try his best to keep her out of these things and protect her in the safest place.

If it weren't for the fact that the time wasn't right and he still needed his skills to protect her, Yan Zeli would have given up this profession without hesitation and never gotten involved in any more karma.
