Chapter 97 It Won't Hurt You

He walked over and sat down on the bed. He looked sideways and saw her fair feet. The five small toes were slightly spread out, and one of them was being pinched by a slender finger.

It was the first time for him to see a girl's feet. He didn't look away, but stared at them for a while.

"I'll help you."

Before Jiang Youning could react, Xie Jing reached out and took the scissors from her hand. With his other hand, he held her ankle and put it on his leg. The whole set of movements was done in

one go. Jiang Youning was stunned and didn't react for a while. It wasn't

until she saw Xie Jing holding her toes that she realized that he was going to cut her toenails.

She raised her head in confusion, "General?"

Xie Jing raised his eyes to look at her and soothed her, "It won't hurt you."

Jiang Youning was stunned when she heard that.

Xie Jing lowered his head again, pinched her toes with his hands, and found that her feet had grown well, white and tender, with light pink nails and smooth skin like satin.

His eyes darkened, and he focused his mind and began to cut her toes carefully.

Jiang Youning froze in place, staring at Xie Jing's profile with her beautiful almond eyes for a while. Under the candlelight, the handsome face became a little softer.

He pursed his lips tightly, as if he was doing something extremely important.

She moved her eyes down to his hands.

Even though she applied lotion every day, her skin was still a little rough compared to a woman's skin from all the hard work.

It was a little itchy when she pinched her feet, and her toes moved involuntarily.

Xie Jing paused in trimming and looked up, "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Youning looked at the bottomless black pupils, vaguely seeing the rare tenderness, and her heartbeat accelerated. She blushed and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little itchy."

[Who can resist being looked at so tenderly by such a handsome man? ]

Xie Jing looked down at her feet, then glanced at his hands, and continued to trim her nails.

Jiang Youning didn't dare to move, for fear of accidentally cutting the flesh.

She suddenly thought of her elder brother, who would also trim her nails like this.

Xie Jing raised his head and looked over again, "Change the other foot."

"Oh." Jiang Youning took back the foot on his leg, stretched out the other foot and placed it on his leg.

Xie Jing lowered his head again and continued to trim her nails without saying a word.

After trimming, Xie Jing stared at the foot in his hand for a while. It looked like a child's foot, white and tender, small and delicate.

His eyes fell on her ankle, which felt so slender that it could be broken without any effort.

Jiang Youning found that after the toenails were trimmed, Xie Jing was still holding her feet. She raised her head in confusion, "General, are you done?"

Xie Jing retracted his gaze, "It's done."

Then he held her foot and moved it off her leg and stuffed it into the quilt.

Jiang Youning moved her butt inside, pulled the quilt over her legs, and then lay down.

Xie Jing put the scissors back on the table, turned around and came to the bed, looking at Jiang Youning who was already lying down, he sat down on the bed, but did not rush to get on the bed.

Jiang Youning grabbed the edge of the quilt with her small hands, only her head was exposed, looking at Xie Jing who was sitting on the bed.

[Xie Jing is so good to me, I can't help but feel sad when he dies young.]

Xie Jing listened and turned to look at her.

Jiang Youning blinked her beautiful almond eyes guiltily, "General, don't you want to sleep?"

"Sleep."

Xie Jing retracted his gaze, lifted a corner of the quilt, and then lay down.

Jiang Youning saw him lying down and was about to close her eyes and go to sleep when she heard him say, "Where are you going to go after the divorce?"

Jiang Youning opened her eyes and saw Xie Jing's dark eyes staring at her. He seemed

to be interested in chatting.

"I don't have any plans to leave Jinling for the time being."

Xie Jing asked again, "Don't you want to get married?"

Jiang Youning shook her head, "I don't have any plans to get married for the time being."

Xie Jing understood, but it was just not for the time being, not for the future.

Jiang Youning asked curiously, "General, are you afraid that I won't be able to get married after I get divorced?"

Xie Jing was silent for a while, then nodded, "Although we are not husband and wife in reality, in the eyes of outsiders, we are a couple in name only."

Jiang Youning said indifferently, "So what? I don't have to get married. After I get divorced, I have a house and money. What kind of life can I live? You won't die without a man, but you will die without money. Besides, someone who really wants to marry me will naturally not mind that I have been married before. If he minds, it means he has other intentions. I haven't concealed my marriage history. He wants to fall in love with me when he knows that I am married for the second time, but he doesn't want to marry me. This is just to take advantage of me."

Xie Jing chuckled, "You are young, but you think very clearly."

Jiang Youning smiled proudly, "General, you are too kind."

[I am a modern person, so my thoughts are naturally more advanced than those of the ancients. If I have money, I can have delicious food. What am I afraid of?]

Every time Xie Jing heard Jiang Youning mention the modern times, he would be very curious. Where exactly is the modern times she is talking about?

Such a strange idea.

Jiang Youning stared at Xie Jing for a while, and asked with courage: "Why did the general marry me as a wife?"

Xie Jing said: "To deal with the emperor, he wanted me to marry the princess."

Jiang Youning suddenly realized why Xie Jing suddenly wanted to get engaged to her and why he suddenly got married when they first met.

[If the princess is married and stays alone in the empty room, Xie Jing will be deceiving the emperor and will lose his head.]

[Marrying me is different. If you can get rid of it with money, you can kill two birds with one stone. 】

"General, you gave me those gold and silver jewelry. Is it your affirmation of me?"

Xie Jing asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Youning explained, "How did I behave after I married you?"

Xie Jing said, "Very good."

Jiang Youning said, "That's right. You gave me gold and silver jewelry. Is it because I behaved well?"

Xie Jing said bluntly: "No."

Jiang Youning, "What is it?"

"I want to send it." Xie Jing's answer was concise.

Jiang Youning was stunned.

"Go to sleep." Xie Jing guarded his sight, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Jiang Youning retracted his doubtful eyes, closed his eyes and fell asleep in a short while.

Jiang Youning finished breakfast and went to assemble the velvet hairpin. Chuntao was too late to do it alone.

When she was done, the old lady came.

"Mother." Jiang Youning went to greet her.

The old lady asked, "Do you know what Jing'er is busy with recently? I haven't seen him for a long time. It will be New Year's Eve in two days."

Jiang Youning said, "The general is busy training elite soldiers. He should rest tomorrow."

The old lady asked, "Did he say when he wants to have a child?"

Jiang Youning was most afraid of the old lady asking this. She was vague, "The general is training elite soldiers now. He is so tired that he falls asleep on the bed every day. I didn't ask."

The old lady's eyes froze when she heard this, and then she looked at Jiang Youning. She was a little relieved, "You are still thoughtful. Jing'er is really tired. I don't want to force him, but I have no choice."

Jiang Youning smiled, "It's what a daughter-in-law should do."

Wanbao

Pavilion Xie Jing walked in with a swagger, "Is what I want ready?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Don't worry, General. We have worked day and night and finally finished it today. I will show it to you."

Good night, babies!
