Chapter 112: Insulting
As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Yuduo realized something was wrong and raised his head.
He took a quick look at Chen Qi's expression, which seemed like she was swallowing bitter medicine, and guessed most of what was going on. He felt a little unhappy, but he still wanted to tease her and pretended to be deep in thought.
"Oh... Xiao Ling has grown up and is much prettier than before..."
He paused deliberately.
“I think she’s pretty good-looking.”
Chen Qi's heart was gripped with grief. She pressed the bed with one hand and straightened up immediately.
"No, Xiao Ling, no!"
Xie Yuduo deliberately avoided looking at her and spoke in a casual tone.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Qi was speechless for a moment.
"It just won't work."
He spoke calmly and turned another page.
"Oh, okay. If you say no, then no."
"Then...where are the other maids?"
"Anyone else? I don't know any of them."
"Pah! You say you don't recognize someone you see every day? Who would brag to me that they have a photographic memory?"
Xie Yuduo stopped and looked at her meaningfully.
"Maybe I've been with you for so long that I've picked up on your bad habits—I've seen you several times before, but you forget about it the moment you see me."
He was hinting at something, but Chen Qi didn't notice it at all - she had always been slow to recognize people, and really couldn't remember a face she had only seen a few times.
Having said that, Chen Qi gritted her teeth and decided to draw her sword directly, believing that a short pain is worse than a long one.
"Don't you feel like your family is missing someone who can serve you?"
Unexpectedly, this person is very good at talking and is good at dealing with enemies with soldiers and blocking water with earth.
"With so many servants at home, who dares not serve me?"
"No, it's... the waiter in the room."
"There are quite a few servants serving in this room!"
"No, it's the kind of person who...sleeps with you."
"How old am I? Do I still need someone to sleep with me?"
Shen Qi gritted her teeth in anger.
Normally, this guy can't even say three serious words in front of me before he starts to talk nonsense.
Today, despite how cruelly I had brought up this matter, he turned out to be a righteous gentleman, with an exceptionally open mind.
"snort!"
She leaned her head back on the pillow.
Xie Yuduo felt a little proud when he saw that she had nothing to say.
It was already winter, and silver charcoal was burning in the gilded brazier in the room, emitting a faint fragrance. In the intervals between the two people's silence, there were slight crackling sounds.
Chen Qi's heart felt like it was on fire, and the sound was only slightly louder than the burning of silver charcoal.
"I was thinking... I've been feeling unwell lately, and there are quite a few pretty maids at home. If... someone could serve you for me, you'd feel more at ease..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her expression became uglier and uglier.
Seeing that she had finally spoken out, Xie Yuduo sighed softly, put away the documents, put them aside, and walked to the bedside.
"I've been quite busy, and I've noticed quite a few handsome clerks and servants in the shop up ahead. How about I pick two for you to entertain you while I'm too busy to come back?"
Chen Qi was feeling upset, and his words made her laugh and cry, and she couldn't help but punch him.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xie Yuduo grabbed her hand and frowned slightly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Only then did Shen Qi realize that he had done it on purpose from the beginning and sighed deeply.
It was not easy for her to say this.
Whenever Xie Yuduo nodded, it would be more painful than stabbing her heart with a knife.
She might even stab him in the heart with a knife.
Now that the conversation was over, Xie Yuduo stood by the bed and held her in his arms.
Chen Qi lay in his clothes and made a muffled sound.
"If it were in Pingshan County, I would rather die than say such a thing, but now in the provincial capital..."
Xie Yuduo interrupted her.
"Once we get to the provincial capital, you and I will no longer be the couple we were in Pingshan County?"
"Of course we still are. But today I saw... I saw the rules of the provincial capital..."
"I've already told you, don't worry about those bullshit rules out there. Those mundane cliches have nothing to do with us. You don't have to worry about anything. Just follow your heart. That's the biggest rule in our house."
She couldn't say anything.
Her heart really didn't want anyone to get involved with him.
Xie Yuduo lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"You're always worried. Didn't I tell you this long ago? Having you in my life is enough. If you're worried, I swear to heaven that I will never let you down. If you break this oath, I, Xie Er, will die in poverty."
Chen Qi looked up at him, feeling a little guilty, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"No, you really don't have to. I... was just saying it, and I really don't want to do it."
"I've known this for a long time. If you really have this in mind, then you've really wasted your time knowing me, and you've let down my heart for you."
Chen Qi wiped her tears on his body and no longer wanted to say these nonsense that made both of them sad. She simply buried her head in his arms and smelled the familiar scent on him.
Xie Yuduo sighed lightly, touched her hair, and raised his chin to look at her expression.
"Okay, okay, just say it. If you know I won't accept it, then just let it go. Why are you crying?"
He saw tears on the corners of her lips and lowered his head to suck them.
Chen Qi's eyes were blurred with tears, and she mistakenly thought that he was going to come to her in person, so she leaned forward to greet him.
But a slight touch of warm fragrance made this guy's heart flutter and he took the initiative to respond.
For months, he had restrained himself for a long time, but now that the golden wind and jade dew met, the man tried to endure it again and again, but when he really couldn't bear it anymore, he simply kissed him even more fiercely.
…
After a while, he guided her hand to caress...
She was clearly backing away, but the man followed her lead and climbed onto the bed step by step...
…
Seeing her clothes disheveled and the arrow on the string, Chen Qi breathed slightly, with a hint of anticipation in her heart.
"I remember... several doctors have said it's fine..."
Xie Yuduo's heart was like boiling water and his body was like burning fire, but he was very hesitant.
"...That being said... there are still some... However, I have a more foolproof method."
He whispered something in Shen Qi's ear, which made her ears itch. She couldn't help but laugh and tease him.
"Pah, where did you get so much... Sir, are you hiding business secrets or pornographic pictures in the study up front?"
Xie Yuduo chuckled softly, intending to tease her.
"I have both. I'll show them to you someday."
"Humph, you're almost going to be my father, and you're still so... so..."
Chen Qi thought of the new words she learned from Meng today.
"In Sister Meng's words, this is truly... a breakdown of etiquette and music, a disgrace to civility!"
When Xie Yuduo heard the name Meng, he looked displeased and raised his eyebrows.
"It's perfectly natural for a couple to enjoy each other's company. Even if her sage ancestors were reborn today and stood by this bed watching, they wouldn't be able to say anything!"
“Ahhh you—”
Chen Qi smiled and tried to cover his mouth, but was bitten by someone...
That night, there was a heavy snowfall.
In the courtyard, the wind is blowing, and in the greenhouse, the curtains are fragrant... The warmth is getting stronger and spring thoughts are surging, and the mandarin duck embroidered quilt is turning red waves.
"...Yue'er, be gentle. Even if you become my father, we will still need you in the future..."
"...Shut up...You are truly...disrespectful..."
Winter has arrived, and spring is not far away.
