On the way to the dock, the carriage was relatively quiet. Yuchi Ziling had something on her mind and didn't say much.
Jiang Hai felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he asked,
"What's wrong with you, my lady? What are you thinking about?"
"Hehe, it's okay."
"Oh, I see. You're homesick. Maybe you're excited about going back to the new city soon."
Jiang Hai himself was excited, but the eldest lady was not thinking about it and just responded with a smile.
Cai'er echoed,
"It's great! There are so many delicious foods in Xincheng. I can go shopping with Hong'er again."
"Tsk, you foodie."
…
Jiang Hai chatted with Cai'er in a random manner that hurt each other.
Soon, we returned to the dock.
By this time, the ships in Xincheng had already unloaded their cargo.
Because Jiang Hai had previously instructed them to go back with the ship, the crew did not rush to set sail. Instead, they slowly packed up things on the deck and waited for the young master to come back.
Jiang Hai returned and the ship set sail.
It takes about two days to get back to Xincheng by boat, which is faster than traveling by land.
After getting on the boat, Cai'er went straight into the cabin to find a place to rest. Jiang Hai took his wife to the bow, and Wenzhi did not follow them because this was Xincheng's own boat.
At the bow, Jiang Hai looked at the familiar sea, felt the South China Sea breeze, and watched the seabirds flying on the shore, feeling happy.
Beside him, Yuchi Ziling couldn't hide her thoughts and asked,
"Jiang Lang, do you like Li Wanji?"
The voice was not loud, and carried a hint of loneliness.
Jiang Hai was thinking comfortably that he would be able to go home comfortably soon.
The sea breeze was whistling, I couldn't hear clearly, so I turned around and shouted,
"What did you say? It's too loud, I can't hear you clearly..."
It was already approaching evening, and the wind was blowing hard on the sea. Yuchi Ziling wanted to imitate him and shout, but hesitated and didn't say it out loud.
I tilted my head and leaned on his shoulder, then stood with him at the bow for a while.
The direction to the new city was west, and the two stood at the bow and watched the sunset quietly.
It was not until the sunset dyed the sky red and the setting sun sank into the horizon that they held hands and returned to the cabin to rest.
As night falls, a full moon climbs out of the sea in the east and gradually rises into the night sky.
Inside the cabin, Yuchi Ziling sat by the window looking at the full moon in the sky. The bright moonlight shone through the window onto her beautiful face, as if a layer of beauty filter had been added.
Jiang Hai was lying on the bed, almost falling asleep, but when he saw the beautiful scene in front of him, his sleepiness disappeared a little.
Lying on his side, he held his head with one hand and admired the moon quietly. He did not say a word to disturb his wife from appreciating the moon, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Does Jiang Lang also like Li Wanji?"
The eldest lady didn't turn around, but when she heard the noise behind her, she knew that Jiang Hai was not asleep, so she asked the same question again.
She met Li Wanji twice, both times with Jiang Hai, and Jiang Hai's actions always made her feel that things seemed to be like this.
Li Wanji is indeed very beautiful and charming. It is normal for normal men to be attracted to her.
However, it is not normal for the young lady to forget her man.
Jiang Hai was shocked by this sudden question. He lost his grip and his head hit the bed.
Fortunately, the mattress is soft.
"ah?"
Young Master Jiang let out a puzzled cry and stopped moving to get up, looking confused.
He just thought that Li Wanji was a very powerful woman and didn't have any other complicated thoughts.
How did my wife understand that I liked it?
However, Yuchi Ziling thought he was confirmed and said to himself,
"Indeed, she is indeed beautiful and good at business. It is natural for my husband to like such a capable woman. But..."
She wanted to continue speaking, hoping that Jiang Hai could give her some time to prepare herself mentally.
Jiang Hai's mouth twitched, and he interrupted her.
"Stop, stop, stop, my lady, you misunderstood me. I don't have that idea."
Raising three fingers, taking a look, and adding another finger, Jiang Hai continued,
"I sent four, it's definitely not what you think, I just simply think she is capable.
If we can recruit them, it will be a good thing to contribute to the new city.”
After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Yuchi Ziling looked back.
Seeing Jiang Hai leaning his head against the bed with four fingers raised, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Really? I just feel like you treat her differently, and you even asked the doctor to examine her again. Are you really not in love with her?"
"Ahem, I was deliberately teasing her, didn't you notice?" Jiang Hai said with a smile.
"She was always trying to snoop around in our new city, I just wanted to disgust her.
Alas, it seems that you, my lady, really have no idea what love is."
"I see. It seems I was worrying too much."
Yuchi Ziling suddenly felt relieved, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Hai patted the place beside him and made a gesture.
"Come here, let me tell you what love is."
The eldest lady naturally knew that he had bad intentions, but it was getting late and it was time to rest after untying the knot in her heart.
He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, smiled slyly, and asked,
"Oh, what do you mean by like?"
Jiang Hai stretched out his hand, trying to pull her down to lie down, while saying,
"that is……"
If it doesn't work, keep trying.
"that is……"
Still no pull.
"Uh, could you please give me some face?"
Jiang Hai was puzzled. His wife who practiced martial arts was a little bit bad, just like the current situation.
It seems that I need to practice more kung fu, otherwise I won’t be able to control my wife.
In the end, the eldest lady kicked off her shoes herself and got into bed with a smirk on her face.
As the night deepened, in an era without electronic navigation equipment, ships dropped anchor at night along the shore.
The boat rises and falls slightly on the sea surface, swaying and rocking with the waves, as if dancing to the dynamic rhythm...
…
The next day.
Jiang Hai slept until he woke up naturally, and it was already noon.
I opened my eyes, feeling refreshed. I stretched and found that my wife was still half asleep.
The days spent on the sea are quite long, and now I don’t go to see the sunrise very often. It’s more comfortable to sleep in.
Jiang Hai pushed his wife and said,
"Get up, my lady, the sun is shining on your butt."
Yuchi Ziling narrowed her eyes and said in a muffled voice,
"No, I have nothing to do anyway. I'm going to sleep in the new city."
“…”
Jiang Hai had never seen this side of his wife. It seemed that her true nature was revealed after they got to know each other. It turned out that she could also stay in bed.
Reaching out and touching her forehead, Jiang Hai asked, "She should be fine."
"Are you feeling well?"
"I'm sore all over. It's all your fault."
After saying that, Yuchi Ziling pulled up the quilt to cover her entire head and continued to sleep.
Jiang Hai grinned foolishly. This boat rocks really well and even made his wife seasick.
Humming a tune, he got up, dressed, found something to eat, and brought some for his wife.
Young Master Jiang felt very comfortable at the thought of returning to Xincheng. He thought that he should be able to live a stable life in the near future and would not have to go out and wander around anymore.
