30 Accident
◎My husband.◎
Cui Huaifeng came back to his senses and glanced at Jiang Yan's arms around him.
Jiang Yan understood immediately, let go of his hand with a smile, and honestly picked up the bowl to finish the leftovers.
After dinner, it was already dark and time to go to bed, but Jiang Yan still showed no intention of leaving.
Cui Huaifeng ignored her and walked straight towards the main house. Seeing the opportunity, Jiang Yan immediately stood up and followed him.
Cui Huaifeng stopped and looked sideways at Jiang Yan. His expression was calm, and there was no ripple in his eyes. "What's the matter?"
Jiang Yan smiled and looked at his abdomen. "No, I just want to take care of you."
"No need. Let's take a step back. There is still Zheng Pu. Your Highness, please go back." After saying this, Cui Huaifeng walked into the house without looking back and closed the door.
Jiang Yan stood at the door, the moonlight and the light from inside the house intertwined and fell on her, stretching her shadow very long. She sighed deeply, feeling unhappy.
No matter how cold Huai Feng was before, he always left room for maneuver and wouldn't be so decisive towards me. It was I who repeatedly brought up Zhao Qiuxin's affairs, driving the two of them apart.
Jiang Yan stood there for a long time, then turned and left.
Cui Huaifeng, who was in the house, heard the sound of Jiang Yan leaving. He wanted to look out the window, but stopped the idea.
A few days later, one morning at the market.
Jiang Yan had already found out Cui Huaifeng's whereabouts and knew that he would get up early to buy groceries today. After waiting for half an hour, Cui Huaifeng really showed up.
Cui Huaifeng stood in front of the vegetable stall. The morning light shone on him, outlining a golden edge with a faint glow on his outline.
Although he was six months pregnant, his physique made it seem unnoticeable, his abdomen remaining roughly the same height as if he were four or five months pregnant. His figure was like a pine or bamboo, and even with his pregnancy, his every move was still graceful. A few strands of long hair fell over one shoulder onto his chest, adding a touch of paternal maturity to his otherwise aloof figure, making it impossible to look away.
"Huaifeng." Jiang Yan had admired him enough and walked forward to greet him.
"Why are you here?" Cui Huaifeng didn't expect Jiang Yan to suddenly appear in the market, but after thinking about it, he probably had the answer.
Either Jiang Yan had hinted to Zheng Pu about it before leaving, or one of her men was following her. When she first arrived in Dingtong, she did see a few guards near her home. But after she moved next door, aside from a few of her subordinates who came and went to assist her with errands, she rarely saw anyone watching her. However, the outcome was already decided, so why bother searching for the cause?
"I'll be wherever you are." Jiang Yan laughed and didn't answer directly. As he spoke, he approached Cui Huaifeng and looked down at the fresh fruits and vegetables on the vegetable stall.
The lady at the vegetable stall looked Jiang Yan up and down, and finally looked at Cui Huaifeng, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and watched the two of them interact quietly.
After a while, she looked at Jiang Yan and couldn't help but say, "Don't blame me for being nosy. I have something to say about you. You are really irresponsible as a wife. You always let your husband buy groceries, and your husband is pregnant."
Cui Huaifeng slowly raised his head and looked at the old lady in disbelief.
Jiang Yan blinked her eyes, then pretended to be calm after realizing what was happening. She quickly answered the old lady's words, as if she was afraid that she would not continue, "Yes, yes, you are right, old lady. I was negligent. I was busy farming the past few days and my husband worked hard. I will never do that again."
Cui Huaifeng's clear eyes were filled with surprise. He had not expected Jiang Yan to react so quickly. He explained palely, "We are not..."
Jiang Yan turned around and took the basket from his hand, gazing at Cui Huaifeng affectionately, "Huaifeng, I know you've been wronged. I wasn't considerate enough before. I'll come buy it after I finish hoeing the land."
The old lady smiled happily, "Oh, that's right. We should be considerate of each other in life. You are busy with your own things on weekdays, but you should also think more about your husband when you are free."
Jiang Yan's eyebrows curved, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely treat my husband well."
The old lady and Jiang Yan sang in unison, and Cui Huaifeng's thoughts were in a mess.
After leaving the vegetable stall, Cui Huaifeng stopped and Jiang Yan also waited. He said seriously: "Don't say anything that is completely untrue in the future."
Jiang Yan asked knowingly, staring into Cui Huaifeng's eyes with a bright smile on his lips, "What did you say?"
Cui Huaifeng's ears turned red and he was speechless.
Jiang Yan smiled happily and repeated deliberately: "My husband, that's right."
Cui Huaifeng was definitely not the one, and it was no use refutating. As long as he opened his mouth, no matter what he said, it would only fulfill her wishes. He could only glare at her resentfully.
Jiang Yan felt better.
Cui Huaifeng was too lazy to argue and walked straight forward. Jiang Yan hurriedly followed and carefully protected him.
On their way home, they happened to run into Zheng Pu setting up a stall.
The stall was simple, with only a long table and a bench to rest on. The long table was covered with a beige coarse cloth, on which were placed several unfolded calligraphy and paintings.
Jiang Yan stopped to admire, "My husband's handwriting is truly unique."
Zheng Pu, who was sitting in front of the stall, opened his eyes wide and stared at his master blankly.
Cui Huaifeng's face was ugly, but his ears were pink. He didn't know whether he was angry with Jiang Yan or embarrassed. "Jiang Yan!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. I was wrong." Jiang Yan decided to stop while he was ahead.
At the entrance of the alley in the distance, two women with rough faces, one tall and one short, stared at the three people like poisonous snakes locking onto their prey.
The tall woman was called Gao Cheng, and the shorter woman, Ai Shan, were notorious local hooligans. The government had been cracking down on them recently, so they'd become more restrained. Lately, it seemed like they'd been neglected, so they'd started to think crookedly. The stalls nearby had been operating there for years, but the three of them were new, making them an easy target.
The two exchanged glances, then walked to the front of the stall. They looked at Zheng Pu with ill intent and said in a harsh tone, "You've been running this stall for over a year, haven't you? Since you're new here, we two sisters have been so generous and haven't asked you for protection money. It's time to pay it this month, right?"
Jiang Yan frowned unhappily, subconsciously took a step forward, stood in front of Cui Huaifeng to protect him, and Cui Huaifeng paused.
Zheng Pu's face looked a little ugly. He had heard of these two gangsters and was unsure of what to do.
Gao Cheng took a quick look and saw that among the three people, there was only one woman, and one of the two men was pregnant. They posed no threat to the two men at all.
Gao Cheng overturned the stall, and the clean calligraphy and paintings fell to the ground, covered with mud.
Cui Huaifeng's hard work was treated so rudely. Jiang Yan stepped forward and grabbed the tall woman's wrist.
Gao Cheng was shocked. She had thought this woman was just a pretty face, but she was so strong that she felt her hand would be broken.
Ai Shan, who was standing by, was enraged by Jiang Yan's actions. He raised his fist and rushed towards Jiang Yan, shouting, "Damn it!"
Jiang Yan dodged and easily grabbed Aishan's collar, leading both of them forward while commanding, "Zheng Pu, protect Huaifeng!"
"Hey!" Zheng Pu was about to pull Cui Huaifeng away. Cui Huaifeng looked at Jiang Yan worriedly and refused to move until Zheng Pu used all his strength to pull Cui Huaifeng away.
People nearby were afraid of being implicated but were also curious, so they watched from afar.
Jiang Yan was a skilled fighter, and having come from the battlefield, what could two hooligans do to her? Without much effort, she beat them both until they were dazed, while she herself remained unscathed.
As Jiang Yan dodged the blows from the two men, she glanced hurriedly at Cui Huaifeng, feeling relieved only after confirming he was alright. While she was distracted, Gao Cheng grabbed a wooden stick from somewhere and smashed it down on Jiang Yan's face.
Jiang Yan could have avoided it, but she suddenly changed her mind and deliberately relaxed her strength, so the wooden stick hit her arm that was raised to cover her face.
Cui Huaifeng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he called out in a lost voice: "Jiang Yan!"
