Chapter 29

After dinner, Huo Jin returned to the study in the front yard to handle government affairs.

Luo Chaoyan took little Huo An for a walk in the yard until he was tired, then she asked the nanny to take him back to bathe and rest.

Looking at the back of little Huo An who had fallen asleep on the nanny, she couldn't help but sigh that she had actually gotten used to this kind of life with a child.

"Young Madam?" Shu Lan asked with concern when he saw that she looked dazed.

Pineapple also looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Luo Chaoyan sighed and said, "I just suddenly felt emotional, as if the carefree days in Jeju were just yesterday." And now she is actually a married woman.

Fengli smiled and said, "Madam, this sad spring and autumn is not like your personality. I'm afraid you want to go out and hang out."

Luo Chaoyan choked and rolled her eyes at her: "In your eyes, I am so heartless and like to wander around, right?"

Shu Lan and Feng Li nodded together: "Young Madam, you like it very much."

Luo Chaoyan choked again and said in feigned anger, "I will leave the house tomorrow and will not play with you guys anymore."

Hearing that she could leave the house, Fengli's expression changed instantly, and she flattered: "Young Madam, I was wrong, please forgive us if you are magnanimous."

"Young Madam, you are the best master in the world. I am willing to serve you forever without getting married."

Luo Chaoyan said disdainfully: "Then you'd better get married. Otherwise, you will eat and wear out my family's wealth."

“Puff!”

Shu Lan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Young Madam, you'd better not let her cause trouble to other people's families."

"Shu Lan!" Fengli looked at Shu Lan with some dissatisfaction.

Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "I heard that Xiangsulou has launched some new dim sum. Let's go and try them tomorrow to reward our pineapple."

"Young Madam, you are the best!" Pineapple immediately became happy.

The three of them laughed and joked for a while before returning to the house.

Luo Chaoyan felt her scalp was a little itchy, so she asked someone to prepare hot water for a shower and wash her hair.

After being in this ancient place for so long, the thing that annoys her most is that she can't cut her hair. It's long and heavy, and washing and drying it is a big project. Fortunately, she was reborn into a wealthy family. She didn't have to do any work, didn't sweat, and didn't have to wash her hair every day. Otherwise, she would probably have collapsed.

Coming out of the bathroom, she sat on the couch by the window.

Pineapple took a towel and helped her wipe her hair.

She picked up a book of fox spirit stories that she hadn't finished reading last time, flipped through it, and sighed, "This book is getting less and less original. The fox spirits always end up getting beaten to pieces by the scholars and turned into ashes."

"besides……"

Luo Chaoyan read the story in the book and complained to Fengli about it. There was no sign of Pineapple winking at her. Until I heard Huo Jin's voice.

"You should read less books like this."

When Luo Chaoyan heard Huo Jin's voice, she reflexively hid the book behind her and saw that he was looking at her intently. She knew that this time she was really trying to cover up something that was only making it more obvious.

"My dear, you are right. I will just watch less."

"My dear, you must be tired. Should I ask someone to prepare a bath for you?" She gestured to Pineapple to ask someone to prepare it.

When Huo Jin came out after washing up, he saw that she had already placed the chess pieces on the couch.

"My dear, it's still early, let's play chess." Luo Chaoyan said.

Huo Jin nodded: "Okay."

The two played two games in a row, and Luo Chaoyan was defeated every time. She was a little suspicious that this man either had a strong desire to win, or was just an old-fashioned person who didn't know how to give in to a woman.

Luo Chaoyan gritted her teeth and said, "Play another round!"

Huo Jin said, "If you like, I'll find some chess manuals for you to read someday."

Well...actually she didn't like it, she was just suddenly inspired by him and wanted to beat him once.

Luo Chaoyan looked at her in confusion and said, "My dear, isn't it said that the highest level of chess is to lose to the opponent without the opponent noticing?"

Huo Jin pursed his lips, wanting him to let her, but she spoke so confidently that he couldn't help but laugh, and said, "I'll let you have three sons."

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes in her heart, even if she had ten pieces, she still couldn't win. But she nodded anyway, concentrating on the chessboard.

This game of chess lasted a long time, and it was obvious that Huo Jin was letting her win on purpose. In the end, Huo Jin only won by three pieces.

Luo Chaoyan couldn't help but sigh that this guy was indeed a great talent. She praised him sincerely, "My dear, you are really amazing."

"It's late, take a rest." Huo Jin said.

Luo Chaoyan's heart was beating fast. This guy wouldn't want to... No, she hadn't prepared any contraceptive methods yet. Otherwise she would have to drink that smelly contraceptive soup again tomorrow.

Huo Jin stood up and saw her still sitting there. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Um... My dear! I... I feel a little unwell."

Huo Jin heard this and said, "Do you want to see a doctor?"

"No! No need." Luo Chaoyan said awkwardly: "It was last night..." She spoke cryptically, but with this guy's intelligence, he should be able to guess what she meant.

Huo Jin was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that they had just performed the Zhougong ceremony last night, and it seemed that she was not feeling well. But he didn't mean that, and said, "Rest. I won't move you."

Only then did Luo Chaoyan feel at ease and lie down on the bed with Huo Jin.

She glanced at Huo Jin who was lying beside her and saw that he had his eyes closed. She had to say that he was truly a darling of God. Even his eyelashes were longer than a woman's.

"Can't sleep?" Huo Jin said lightly.

Luo Chaoyan thought for a moment and said, "My dear, what do you want from your wife?"

"Respect your elders, love your children, and don't force me to do things I don't like." Huo Jin replied.

This is not a high requirement.

Luo Chaoyan asked, "Don't you want your wife to be able to understand your thoughts, or be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Huo Jin said: "No need."

He looked at her sincerely and said, "As long as she can behave herself, not do anything that would harm the Huo family, and do what she likes, that's fine."

When Luo Chaoyan heard this, her heart was instantly moved. She allowed to like him tonight. After all, she is talented and beautiful, and he is still tolerant of her.
