Chapter 175 Let's get down to business
Ye Wan felt that she was lucky; otherwise, how could she have lived one more lifetime than others?
Now that she's rich and good-looking, she must be God's favorite. (Continued)
Although this place is patriarchal and backward in many ways, it is still a beautiful place with clear waters and pleasant air.
Now she no longer needs to hide anything and has revealed her true self.
As the saying goes, fair skin can cover up three flaws. Ye Wan's skin, which is not dark, is as tender as a peeled egg.
"Now Wanwan doesn't have to put anything on her face anymore. With this makeup, she looks like a fairy in a painting. How lucky I am to have such a beautiful daughter."
Aunt Cai personally combed Ye Wan's hair, looking at it from left to right, feeling very pleased with herself, praising her again and again.
A daughter should always look beautiful.
"Mom, I'll get arrogant if you praise me like that." Ye Wan touched her face; her skin was indeed very good.
It's probably because of the space; even in her previous life, when she frequented various beauty salons, she didn't get this good.
Huigu has arrived.
“Madam, the village chiefs from Shengou Village, Wangjia Village, and Lijia Village have all come. They say they want to see you and bring you New Year’s gifts.”
With the Lunar New Year approaching, many people have come to give Ye Wan New Year's gifts. It's good to be in a high position; you don't have to say or do anything, and people will fawn over you.
Ye Wan met the people in the main hall; several village chiefs each brought two large baskets.
The baskets were filled with eggs, pickled vegetables, dried radishes, old hens, and other things, all collected from door to door.
"You are... from the Ye family?"
The village chief was taken aback when he saw Ye Wan.
Is the woman in front of me, who is so fair-skinned that she looks like a rich young lady, Ye Wan?
"The village chief doesn't recognize me?" Ye Wan smiled, her tone as polite and familiar as before.
The village chief spoke cautiously, "We really can't believe it. We know Madam Ye doesn't like beating around the bush. We've come to deliver your New Year's gifts and also to ask you about what happened before..."
Ye Wan interrupted him, "Just plant the potato seeds I gave you using the method I taught you before. I keep my word."
She harvested all of these potatoes after they were planted.
With Lin Anyuan's current status, she was much more persuasive, as potatoes were well-suited to the soil here.
"Lin Anyuan?!"
Suddenly the village chief shouted, then quickly covered his mouth.
Lin Anyuan, wearing a cloak, walked in. "What brings you village chiefs here?"
Looking at Lin Anyuan, who was completely different from before, the village chief hurriedly spoke up, "We've come to deliver New Year's gifts to Madam Ye. She's a benefactor to our entire village..."
"The village chiefs are very kind. I was also very fortunate to have been taken care of by them when I was in the village. Why don't you stay for a meal?"
Lin Anyuan smiled, making it even harder for onlookers to look away.
"No, no, it's getting late, we won't stay any longer."
The village chief ran away as soon as he finished speaking.
Asking them to stay for dinner was just a polite gesture; it would be truly tactless of them to actually stay.
"Wanwan, what are we having for dinner today?"
Without any outside interference, Lin Anyuan took off his cloak and came over.
"We're having hot pot today, why are you back so early?" Ye Wan asked Lin Anyuan.
Lin Anyuan has been very enthusiastic for the past two weeks, and Ye Wan has gotten used to it quite a bit.
"There's nothing urgent anyway, so I came back to keep you company. Wanwan, you look so beautiful today!" Lin Anyuan said, taking Ye Wan's hand with a burning gaze.
Ye Wan: ...
Thinking about how she couldn't resist kissing him that night, she couldn't help but blush.
She flung Lin Anyuan's hand away and walked out.
"Wanwan, where are you going?" Lin Anyuan followed.
"I'm going to the kitchen to cook, why are you following me?"
"I'll go start the fire."
...
"..."
When the weather gets cold, it's so cozy for the whole family to gather around a hot pot.
At the dinner table, Er Ya asked, "Father, what kind of official are you now?"
Lin Anyuan placed a piece of mutton on Ye Wan's plate. "It's not really an official position. It's just that the emperor has given me a temporary job to manage some things. It's all temporary."
Now that King Jing has conquered the north, which is equivalent to taking one-third of the Xia Kingdom's territory, he will not be considered an official until King Jing succeeds and rewards him for his contributions.
"I'm not an official, I thought I could become a rich young lady too."
Er Ya, with her delicate fingers, asked coquettishly, "Father, why do you keep looking at Mother when I'm talking to you?"
Lin Anyuan blinked. "Your mother is beautiful."
Ye Wan: ...
Aunt Cai smiled and said, "This boy is like a completely different person since he came back. He's much more pleasing to the eye now. That's more like it. If he didn't care about my Wanwan, he wouldn't be as good as Pei San."
Lin Anyuan astutely grasped the key point: "Who is Pei San?"
As a result, no one spoke at the dinner table.
Lin Anyuan gritted his teeth.
After dinner, it was getting late. Ye Wan took a shower, wrapped her hair in a cotton cloth, and casually picked up a sketchbook while her hair dried.
Lin Anyuan came in from outside and naturally used a cloth to dry Ye Wan's hair.
Ye Wan was so engrossed in her book that she didn't notice Lin Anyuan had arrived.
He immediately put down the book he was holding.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Anyuan stroked her hair gently, one stroke at a time.
His black hair was shiny and had a faint fragrance that wafted into his nose, making him feel a little itchy.
"Nothing much." Ye Wan couldn't very well say that there was a lewd description in the storybook, and that she was blushing and her heart was pounding when Lin Anyuan arrived.
They probably weren't seen, right?
"Wanwan is so pretty."
Lin Anyuan inhaled the fragrance of her hair and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and peace.
Over the past year, he had thought of her countless times, and now that she was by his side, he finally felt at ease.
He hadn't felt this way since he was twelve years old.
"Stop being silly. Do you still stand by what you said before?"
Ye Wan sat up straight, ready to get down to business.
It's not right to leave things like this, all unclear and ambiguous.
"What did you say?"
Lin Anyuan sat down next to her.
"Don't play dumb. We made a three-year agreement before. Although it hasn't been three years yet, I've raised Sanya to adulthood. She's very healthy and hasn't even caught a cold. You've seen Da Ya and Er Ya as well. They were raised in the same way. Shouldn't you keep your promise?"
Ye Wan's tone was serious, and Lin Anyuan's hand, which was holding her hair, froze.
"You're leaving?"
Ye Wan nodded. "Of course. I've heard that the scenery in Jiangnan is beautiful and the winters aren't cold. My parents and I will go there to live."
“You’re someone important now, so you’re not short of women and servants. They’re talking about people raising your children, but I’m not going to join in.”
Finally, she smiled lightly at Lin Anyuan and said, "Lord Lin, what do you think?"
