Lin Xiuyan thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes, but Ye Junfei was still chopping wood.
Lin Yunzhi said with great disdain, "You usually seem so clever, but you're actually so stupid that you can't even chop firewood properly. You're really useless!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Before she married Ye Junfei, Lin Yunzhi found Ye Junfei pleasing to the eye in every way.
Since their marriage, Lin Yunzhi has been very critical of Ye Junfei.
She was worried for her father, because with Ye Junfei's temper, he might just pick up an axe and chop Lin Yunzhi up.
To her surprise, Ye Junfei did not kill Lin Yunzhi.
Instead, he smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, I'll chop the firewood in a bit, so it won't delay making breakfast for Xiuyan."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
So all this time, he had been working tirelessly under Lin Yunzhi's orders, just so he wouldn't be late making breakfast for her.
The Lin Yunzhi couple had just moved in, and many things were not yet fully prepared.
Two more people came to freeload yesterday, so we cooked a few extra dishes in the kitchen, and we ran out of firewood.
Ye Junfei was conscripted by Lin Yunzhi as soon as he woke up this morning. Upon hearing that he was chopping wood to make breakfast for Lin Xiuyan, he readily agreed and began chopping wood. (M.cascoo.net)
Ye Junfei sensed her gaze and looked at her.
The moment he saw her, Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes lit up.
The morning mist partially enveloped him, dampening his eyebrows and eyes.
The already gentle person appeared even more refined and gentle under the half-concealment of the moisture.
A smile bloomed in his eyes, then spread to his entire face, and the corners of his lips curved into an extremely alluring arc.
The young man had a clean and bright demeanor, and the first rays of the morning sun gilded him with a golden edge. Lin Xiuyan could hear her own heartbeat.
Years later, when Lin Xiuyan recalled his smile, she still felt her heart flutter.
Lin Yunzhi followed Ye Junfei's gaze, paused for a moment, and then reached out and slapped Ye Junfei on the back of the head: "What are you looking at! Get to work!"
"Yan'er is already awake, and you still dare to slack off!"
Ye Junfei chuckled lightly: "Father is right, I'll start chopping wood now."
After he finished speaking, he picked up an axe and chopped a log in front of him in two with a swift and impressive motion.
Lin Xiuyan couldn't help but laugh too.
Lin Yunzhi said from the side, "Yan'er, what do you want to eat for breakfast? I'll have the kitchen make it for you."
Lin Xiuyan replied, "I haven't been able to eat my father's rice noodle rolls since I arrived at the Prince's Mansion, and I miss them terribly."
Lin Yunzhi happily replied, "Okay! I'll go make it for you right now."
After saying that, he scurried off with a bundle of firewood in his arms, but after only a couple of steps, he turned back to Ye Junfei and said, "Don't just stare at Yan'er, chop some more firewood!"
Ye Junfei smiled and agreed, then chopped up another piece of firewood before Lin Yunzhi left.
Although Lin Yunzhi felt somewhat unhappy that someone else's pig had taken away the cabbage he had raised for many years, he was still a little annoyed.
However, when he saw the unwavering affection in Ye Junfei's eyes as he looked at Lin Xiuyan, he felt less distressed.
For him, Lin Xiuyan's happiness was more important than anything else.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiuyan used her lightness skill to jump down from the building.
She walked up to Ye Junfei with a grin and said, "Young Master, you can actually chop wood! I had no idea before."
Ye Junfei was in a great mood and laughed, "I know more things than you think."
After he finished speaking, he moved closer to her and asked softly, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Lin Xiuyan's face instantly turned bright red. She glared at him, gave a soft snort, and turned to leave.
Ye Junfei took her hand and said, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. You rest over there. After we finish breakfast, I'll take you out for a walk."
Lin Xiuyan glanced at him, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
She pulled her hand away from his and said, "I'm going to check on Qingwan and Yu Zhan."
Ye Junfei didn't stop her anymore. He smiled and nodded, but then reached out and pulled her into his arms, quickly kissing her on the lips.
Lin Xiuyan's face, which had just flushed, turned red again. She reached out and pushed him away, glaring at him.
He said gently, "Go!"
Lin Xiuyan gritted her teeth, snorted, took a few steps forward, then turned to look at him and said, "Actually, you were pretty bad last night too."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran away.
It's just that she was too exhausted last night, so she wasn't as agile as usual when running far.
She heard Ye Junfei's muffled laughter: "Then I'll keep trying tonight until you're satisfied."
Lin Xiuyan almost collapsed to the ground upon hearing these words.
Are you coming again tonight?
My back will break!
Lin Xiuyan ran even faster.
The smile in Ye Junfei's eyes deepened.
Wu Dao emerged from the bushes nearby. Ye Junfei looked at him, and he immediately raised his hand and said, "I didn't hear anything!"
Ye Junfei glanced at him sideways. This stupid guard! He shouldn't have saved him last time.
Wu Dao, however, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on achieving your wish!"
Ye Junfei tossed him the axe in his hand: "Chop all this firewood."
Wu Dao looked at the room next door filled with firewood and was completely dumbfounded.
The Lin family was not short of money. When Lin Yunzhi bought firewood, he filled the entire woodshed, which weighed two or three thousand catties in total.
If he were to chop all of these, he'd probably break his arm.
Wu Dao swallowed hard and said, "Young Master, my injuries haven't fully healed yet!"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "You can call Wu Ge over to help."
After he finished speaking, he walked away with one hand behind his back. Wu Dao felt quite pathetic; he had only told the truth, yet he was being punished again!
When Lin Xiuyan went to the guest room, Ye Qingwan and Yu Zhan were already up.
Both of them looked a little listless because of their hangovers, but that didn't stop them from bickering.
Ye Qingwan glared at Yu Zhan and asked, "You hit me last night?"
Yu Zhan shook his head vigorously: "You're a god of wealth, how could I possibly hit you?"
"You're asking where the injury on your face came from? Pshaw, you got drunk and fell down!"
Ye Qingwan pointed at Yu Zhan's face and asked, "The injuries on my face were from a fall, so where did the injuries on your face come from?"
Yu Zhan touched his face and said, "The injury on my face is from when I was helping you up and you pulled me down."
"Princess, please consider how hard I've tried to protect you and give me some money for your medical expenses?"
Ye Qingwan: "..."
Ye Qingwan punched Yu Zhan in the face and said, "Have you no shame? Do you really think I don't remember anything from last night?"
Yu Zhan covered his face and said, "Princess, you shouldn't hit someone in the face!"
She prepared to retaliate, but Ye Qing took out a gold ingot weighing five taels and said, "Do you want it for medical expenses?"
Yu Zhan: "..."
She felt that taking the money would be a slap in the face, but not taking it seemed like a loss.
