Chapter 214
Yan Zeli gently wiped away her tears with his rough fingertips, his eyes full of tenderness. "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Wen Xin reached out and hugged his neck, rubbing against his neck in a coquettish and pitiful manner, accusing him with a tearful voice, "I dreamed that you abandoned me."
Yan Zeli: "...Impossible."
He would rather lose himself than abandon her.
Wen Xin looked at him with teary eyes, "But I dreamt that you left with Wen Man."
Yan Zeli was even more speechless. "Are my eyes covered in shit?"
Wen Xin: "..."
The male lead was being subtly implied by him!
One of the men, Da Yan, bluntly remarked, "Your sister is both wicked and stupid, yet she has an inflated sense of self-importance. She's so brain-dead it's unbearable to watch."
Wen Xin: "".
Although that's the truth, it's really putting me in a difficult position since you've said it so directly, brother!
Should I applaud you? Or should I applaud you?
Wen Zhushen bit her lip innocently, "Don't say that, she's still young and doesn't understand."
Yan Zeli scoffed: "What do you mean she's still young and doesn't know any better? She's eighteen! Think about how well-behaved and sensible you were when you were eighteen. Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have compared my wife to that idiot. That's an insult to you."
The little voice in Wen Xin's heart was overjoyed, rolling around with happiness. Darling, you have such good taste! Mwah!
Seeing her pretty face turn red again, Yan Zeli chuckled and touched it, "Why are you so easily embarrassed?"
"You're just trying to flatter me."
Wen Xin scolded him, her voice soft and sweet, melting the man's heart. Looking at her rosy lips and recalling the sweet taste, his Adam's apple bobbed.
If we weren't on an oxcart, I really wanted to hold her and have another good meal together.
But it doesn't matter, the girl is already his, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Yan Zeli took a deep breath, his thin lips brushing against her jade-like ear, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You always seduce your man, I'll settle the score with you when we get home."
Wen Xin: "!?"
She couldn't help but slap his arm. It was clearly him who was being indecent and driven by lust, yet he blamed her!
Yan Zeli chuckled softly, "Who told you to be so juicy and tender? It's hard not to get addicted."
Wen Xin, embarrassed and angry, reached out to cover his mouth, "You're not allowed to say anything."
Yan Zeli grabbed her small hand and kissed it, "Tsk, my wife is so domineering."
Wen Xin stared at him with watery eyes.
Yan Zeli was so captivated by her alluring gaze that he almost lost his soul. He cursed her in his heart, thinking, "Damn it!" and "Beast!" Otherwise, why would he want to bully her until she cried every moment?
Getting married is fucking awesome!
However, all Yan Zeli wanted was this soft and cuddly little wife in his arms!
His unserious interruption dispelled all of Wen Xin's bad mood.
Yan Zeli lowered his head and kissed the insecure girl. "We're almost in the county town. Let's go eat first, and then I'll buy you some clothes."
The girl blushed as he kissed her, but she grabbed his sleeve and said, "I... I don't actually need to buy clothes."
Yan Zeli suddenly said, "What kind of wedding doesn't include new clothes? Don't you want to be a beautiful bride?"
Wen Xin was stunned for a moment, her ears turning bright red.
Why wouldn't she want to?
Which girl doesn't want to get married looking beautiful?
Yan Zeli was charmed by the silly little girl and gently pinched her delicate nose, saying, "My wife will definitely be the most beautiful bride!"
Wen Xin blushed even more, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with tears, a mixture of shyness and joy in her eyes.
But she suddenly tugged at his sleeve, a little uneasy, "That...that must cost a lot of money, right?"
She felt ashamed and dejected. "I have no money."
She has done a lot of work over the years, feeding pigs, raising chickens, ducks and geese, and also raising rabbits and shearing their fur, but after selling all of these, Liu Hui kept all the money.
Wen Xin didn't receive a single penny. Her younger brother, Wen Gui, ate at least one egg every day, but Wen Xin, who worked tirelessly raising hens from dawn till dusk, didn't even get a bowl of egg drop soup, let alone any money.
If it weren't for the fear of being pointed at and gossiped about by the villagers, Wen Xin would have been forced to sleep in a pigsty.
The more Yan Zeli learned about her past, the more he felt sorry for her, and the deeper his resentment towards Wen Dafu's family became.
That family of bastards!
He felt she deserved it!
Over the years, he shouldn't have just watched her silently from behind. If he had put aside his concerns earlier and brought her to his side, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
Yan Zeli ruffled her hair. "Your man is here. Do you think I don't have any pride?"
Wen Xin stammered, "What...what kind of talk is that?"
And it made it seem like she deliberately tried to get close to him, like she was a woman who was greedy for small gains.
Wen Xin said uneasily, "I still have clothes at home that I can wear, so let's not buy any more?"
Yan Zeli knew what she was thinking, and he was extremely helpless with the straightforward girl. "Little darling, if you don't let me spend money on you, does that mean you don't recognize me as your man?"
Wen Xin quickly shook her head, "I didn't think that way."
Besides, she was already willing to get a marriage certificate with him, so why would she deny it?
Why does he always think of her like that?
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry again, Yan Zeli quickly surrendered, "I misspoke, wife, please don't hold a grudge against me, okay?"
He held her in his arms and sighed softly, "My darling, if you're willing to marry me, then I'm also willing to spend money on you and think about how to treat you well. Otherwise, what kind of man am I? How could I be worthy of you?"
Wen Xin buried her head in his chest and mumbled, "I'm not good enough for you!"
"nonsense!"
Yan Zeli couldn't stand these words at all. "Go ask around the surrounding villages. Everyone knows you are the most beautiful girl, capable, sensible, and kind-hearted. Whoever marries you is definitely blessed with good fortune."
Wen Xin was amused by him, her eyebrows curved into a smile, and she felt very sweet inside. "How could I be as good as you say?"
Yan Zeli raised an eyebrow. "I'm the most senior person in the entire Linghou Village, so I'm in charge. Understand?"
Wen Xin tilted her head. "Then won't I be promoted in terms of seniority?"
Yan Zeli laughed: "Yes, so, are you happy? Don't you think your man is amazing?"
Wen Xin slapped him again, "Have you no shame!"
Yan Zeli squeezed her soft little hand, "Be good, don't always seduce me when you're out."
Wen Xin: "..."
The two chatted and laughed all the way to the county town.
Ah Niu, who was driving the oxcart in front, couldn't help but wipe away tears and sweat. He missed his wife too; the feeling of being all alone was too unbearable.
However, Ah Niu also had a shocked expression on his face, as if saying, "My mother!"
Holy crap, is this Uncle Yan?
That fierce and cold-as-ice Uncle Yan?
Men with wives are different; even a ruthless character like Uncle Yan can be melted. Tsk tsk.
