"Okay, okay, you decide. I won't say it anymore, alright?"
"My dear Ying'er is the one who breaks my heart the most~" Xie Yuancheng finally got up. The sun was already shining outside. They had been walking this road for more than ten days, and there was still a long way to go.
"Yuancheng, are we on the official road?" I find the road very strange. How could an official road be so dilapidated? Da Zhao is very wealthy; it wouldn't be so stingy.
"Yes, don't you think so?"
"It's completely different! The official road is built like this, which seriously undermines the reputation of Da Zhao as a wealthy country."
"There are too many people on the official road. I want to get close to Ying'er, but if you're shy and won't even let me touch your clothes, why would we walk on the official road?"
“You’re not keeping your word. If we encounter another village like that, we won’t have time to defend ourselves. If you get robbed, I’ll become a widow.”
I'm still young, in the prime of my life at twenty-and-a-half. How can I become a widow? If Xie Yuancheng were gone, I would be devastated.
"Just kidding. How could I bear to make you a young widow? You've been so good lately, I'm so happy every time I wake up."
Xie Yuancheng shamelessly moved closer again: "Ying'er, you smell like me, it's so nice."
I quickly grabbed his hand: "Just talk, don't reach out." He's been too happy or too relaxed lately, and my back is so sore I can't even lift it.
“How can I just look at it? Let me touch the robe I made for you. It has my name embroidered on it. It would be even better if there were some other patterns.”
This is what Xie Yuancheng saw in 2020. His menstrual cycle business is really extensive; now he's even buying women from the Western Regions.
Then he took advantage of the situation to sell underwear. Many women wore them and they looked particularly good. In just over a month, he sold a lot. He told me the amount of money he made.
Even if you did nothing for three lifetimes, you would still have to buy the best things every day to barely squander your money.
"Yuancheng, haven't you been a bit too unrestrained lately? Of course I like it, but you have to consider my back."
"Does your back hurt? Let me massage it for you." Xie Yuancheng then reached out to massage it. "Ying'er, your period is due in two days. I have to wait for several days."
"Shut up!" I completely covered my face. He was even more concerned than I was. If I hadn't huddled in a corner, he would have stayed with me the whole time.
"Ying'er, let's go to a beautiful town tomorrow and rest for three or four days before we leave."
He's always so considerate about these things; he kept clutching my stomach on the way. I held his hand and said, "Yuancheng, if it weren't for you, I would definitely be a cripple."
"That would be even better. If you become useless, no one will like you. You'll be all mine."
I let him do whatever he wanted, but it would still take several days longer. These past two days he told me that he's only returning to Beijing now because he wants to expand his business there as well.
I told him he was being evasive, and that it was always just me misunderstanding. Next time, no matter what he does, I'll just silently support him from behind.
"Ying'er~ Do you want me to rub it for you?" Xie Yuancheng reached out his hand on my stomach, but I was still in pain, so I couldn't let him rub it.
"Go ahead and do your thing. Anyway, you're not allowed to sleep in the same bed with me for the next two nights. I find the smell annoying."
"No, I want to sleep, otherwise you'll feel uncomfortable."
"No, you're always peeking at me. I'd be a fool to trust you again." I brushed his hand away, lay down inside, and curled up. It felt much better that way.
"Ying'er~ I'll just lie behind you and do nothing." Xie Yuancheng was quick enough to take off his outer robe and shoes in no time.
"How can outsiders know about this? It's already good enough that you're willing to protect me. If you take such good care of me, I won't be able to take care of myself in the future. What will I do then?"
"I told you this is the best way~" Xie Yuancheng leaned against my back, but I was in pain and didn't want to waste my breath on him.
I stayed in town for three days without even having a proper chance to explore before Xie Yuancheng took me away. Once we left the town, the roads became much wider; I thought they were main roads, but they were actually narrow paths.
The surrounding area consists of wealthy villages and towns, and each family contributed money to repair the road, so it is very wide.
"The road to Linyang is still better. This time when I go to the capital, I will tell the world about my parents' grievances and also separate Linyang from the capital."
"Send it out? I always thought you wanted a higher position, which is why I had to compromise for you."
Xie Yuancheng patted my butt: "If it weren't for the fact that you haven't done well yet, I would have made you pay. Do you think I'm the kind of person who puts power above all else?"
From beginning to end, all I wanted was to separate Linyang, so it wouldn't be under anyone else's jurisdiction; I would have complete control. A mess like that last time wouldn't dare happen under my jurisdiction.”
"You seem so ambitious, how would I know it's about this? And you're not going to back down anyway~"
"Ying'er!" Xie Yuancheng turned me around to look at him: "When we got married, I said it, and you said you knew, but now you're denying it!"
"I... I was just kidding you. I don't remember anything. I just remember you unbuttoned your clothes quickly and being a gentleman. I can't recall anything else."
"You always overthink things. You never even ask me where I fell last time. I'll make sure the people you care about get hurt too."
"Don't do that, I won't do it again~" I held his hand and played with it. How could you blame me for something like this?
“You always say that, without ever thinking about what I’ve done for you. You’re the only one here who always makes me angry.”
"Oh dear~ you've come to sleep too. I'll only stay with you. You're not at a loss. There are three little ones too, so soft and cute."
"If you're gone, I'll make them sleep next to you and see if you're still cute."
"No! They are our children. How can you be so willful?" This is what I fear most. Xie Yuancheng is a man of his word.
Moreover, he didn't even bother to find out the truth. He knew the man was capable, but he also believed that reason should be considered.
"I'm going to do it this way!" Xie Yuancheng has been quite irritable lately, so I didn't want to talk to him anymore, lest his blood pressure rise. Anyway, I'm still alive, and I'll live a better life from now on, so I quickly tried to calm him down and let him kiss me as he pleased.
After a few more days, I felt that he was deliberately walking slowly, but I could accept walking at a snail's pace with him.
I touched the bag; it was something he had made. There wasn't much left; he had prepared it for me in advance. I keep wondering how the glue at the bottom was made.
"Ying'er, what are you looking at?"
"This glue is something that Da Zhao couldn't possibly make. How did you manage to make it?"
"It's very simple. It's made of rubber and some plant latex. Now I'm even richer than before. And nobody knows that I'm the boss behind it all. They just say I'm a hermit."
