Chapter 122 Differences

Chu Ci was speechless and turned to complain to her husband: "Is it necessary to run so fast?"

Fan Jingrui pursed his lips and chuckled, "My lady, the Purple Envoy is afraid that you will fleece him."

Chu Ci immediately thought of Jin Yang, who was still with Divine Doctor Hua. "Don't blame me. Jin Yang got here on his own."

Fan Jingrui suppressed his laughter and said in a surrendering tone, "Okay, it's my husband's fault."

Seeing Chu Ci's satisfied smile, Fan Jingrui took the opportunity to say, "Madam, aren't you tired? Take this time to rest for a while, or the Purple-Robed Envoy will come to visit you again later."

You know what, this possibility is quite high. Chu Ci immediately took off his coat, opened the quilt and turned over to lie down, "Sleep."

Then fell asleep in a second.

Fan Jingrui looked at Chu Ci's sleeping face and murmured to himself, "You seem free and uninhibited, but in fact you don't trust others. When will my lady allow me to enter your inner world?"

Chu Ci's eyelashes trembled slightly while she was sleeping, but it only lasted for a moment before she regained her composure.

Fan Jingrui sighed lightly, but didn't say anything else. He just moved closer to Chu Ci, stretched out his long arms, and held her in his arms.

Chu Ci did not resist Fan Jingrui's actions, but instead leaned in the direction of his force.

Seeing this, Fan Jingrui seemed to be thinking about something.

Is it really because we spend too little time together?

As he thought about it, Fan Jingrui gradually fell asleep.

The two woke up again, woken by Xiaowu's knock on the door. "Boss, Master Fan, the boat will arrive in a quarter of an hour."

Chu Ci looked towards the window. The sun had already illuminated most of the room. She quickly responded loudly, "Okay, we got it."

Since they were in an inn and it was already morning when they went to sleep, the two of them only took off their coats.

Including washing up, it only took a few minutes in total.

When they reached the first floor, Mo Yan had already prepared buns for them. Chu Ci picked one up and started chewing on it. "Hmm, is it filled with crab roe?"

Mo Yan secretly glanced at Fan Jingrui behind Chu Ci, and when he saw Fan Jingrui nod, he said, "Yes, that's what the young master ordered last night."

Although Chu Ci was very pleased with Fan Jingrui's intentions, Mo Yan's action still reminded her of yesterday's events. "Mo Yan, you're quite good at distinguishing who is the head of this family?"

"I..." Mo Yan subconsciously asked Fan Jingrui for help.

Although Fan Jingrui realized that something was wrong, he felt that Chu Ci was overdoing it. So he started to persuade her, "My wife, yesterday's order..."

Little did she know that this made Chu Ci's face even uglier, and some details that she had always ignored gradually emerged in her mind.

"So, my husband, do you think from the bottom of your heart that what Mo Yan did was right?" Chu Ci stared at Fan Jingrui intently.

It seemed as if if he dared to say "no", everything would be over between them.

Such a thought inexplicably flashed through Fan Jingrui's mind.

Although Fan Qianyan didn't know what Chu Ci was thinking about, she could clearly feel the tension between her brother and sister-in-law.

He looked cautiously at this and that. Then he interrupted, "Brother, sister-in-law, this is not the place to discuss things. How about we talk on the boat?"

Chu Ci did not refute Qian Yan's words, but just glared at Fan Jingrui fiercely before leaving.

Fan Jingrui was completely bewildered, while Mo Yan asked innocently, "Sir, why is the young lady angry with Mo Yan?"

Chu Ci paused slightly when she heard this. She wanted to hear how Fan Jingrui would respond.

Fan Qianyan wanted to persuade him but didn't dare to, and could only hope in his heart that his elder brother would be more helpful.

Fan Jingrui naturally noticed Chu Ci's behavior, raised his voice slightly, and asked, "Mo Yan, why do you have such thoughts?"

"I..." Mo Yan's eyes flashed with panic. "I didn't. Yesterday, yesterday, I just remembered the days in the mountains. Sir, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so kind."

Mo Yan thought he handled it very well.

However, this hint of panic did not escape Fan Jingrui's eyes.

Chu Ci, who was not far away, also fell into deep thought. She was too lazy to listen to the conversation between the two and said, "Let's go!"

Qianyan still wanted to fight for her eldest brother, so she approached Chu Ci and whispered, "Sister-in-law, shall we listen again?"

Chu Ci shook his head.

After calming down, Chu Ci understood that whether Mo Yan did it intentionally or unintentionally, the key lies in the difference in thinking patterns.

If she were an ordinary woman, she might not care about Mo Yan's little action.

But she happened to be from another world, and she had experienced equality for all beings and equal rights for men and women. No matter how much she tried to ignore it, as long as there was a trigger, the details she ignored on a daily basis would become a barrier between her and Fan Jingrui, and even the entire Fan family.

For example, now.

She blamed Mo Yan verbally, but her actions targeted Fan Jingrui.

Having found a reasonable explanation for his behavior, Chu Ci felt a little relieved, but his movements did not slow down, but instead accelerated.

Xiao Wu followed Chu Ci closely and showed her the way.

When Fan Jingrui, who was behind, saw this scene, he no longer had the heart to explain to Mo Yan. He followed in two steps at a time.

Therefore, the couple did not notice that Jin Yang was no longer beside Doctor Hua.

He also missed the opportunity to learn about the Purple-Robed Envoy's condition in a timely manner, and this miss almost cost the Purple-Robed Envoy his life.

However, Chu Ci knew nothing about this at the moment.

At this moment, Chu Ci was sitting opposite Fan Jingrui in the cabin.

"My wife, I..." Fan Jingrui started to speak, but was interrupted by Chu Ci. "My husband, let me speak first!"

"Okay." In fact, Fan Jingrui was also worried about this matter. As soon as Chu Ci opened his mouth, he went along with it.

After receiving Fan Jingrui's affirmative answer, Chu Ci slowly spoke: "My husband, you should know that although I am the daughter of the Chu family, my education is completely different from that of the noble ladies of the Chu family or even the entire capital, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Jingrui nodded again.

Chu Ci then continued, "In the education I received, although parents are great, their mistakes can be pointed out directly. Husbands and wives should help and respect each other, but they are also independent individuals. Do you understand what I mean, my husband?"

Fan Jingrui was thoughtful after hearing this, "I will let Mo Yan stay when I go back this time."

Chu Ci knew in his heart that if the overall environment remained unchanged, no matter who replaced him, he might end up like Mo Yan.

So, Chu Ci simply shook her head and refused: "My husband, you misunderstood what I meant. What I meant was that I also need someone who belongs to me alone in the future."

"Okay, I'll send someone to look for him after I return to Lianzhou." Although Fan Jingrui didn't understand what Chu Ci was thinking, he would choose to respect it.
