Xie Yuancheng walked very fast. He didn't even listen to my explanation. Although I have long legs, compared to his speed, I'm nothing.
"I don't want to go, I'm so tired~" I leaned against a willow tree to rest. The mansion is really big. I'll come out for a walk whenever I have free time.
“Ying’er, you can’t even keep up with my speed, so I declined the teacher’s offer. You can learn from me first, and then learn from the teacher when you’ve mastered the skills.”
"What? You're going too far!" I continued to rest against the willow tree. He just liked to make decisions for me. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, so it was fine if he made the decision.
No wonder I haven't seen the teacher. It turns out he was the one who interfered, preventing us from becoming apostles. Xie Yuancheng walked over, his hand unconsciously twitching at a nearby branch.
"Ying'er, are you unhappy?" Xie Yuancheng can also lower his head and admit his mistakes. I'm really getting defeated by him.
"No, not at all." I jumped into his arms: "You've done so much for me, this is nothing. But don't even think about escaping, go back and give me a massage."
I was out for a long time today and didn't want to walk, so I asked Xie Yuancheng to carry me. I originally wanted him to carry me, but he insisted on holding me. Anyway, it's him who's going to get tired, not me, so I just won't walk.
"Ying'er, I can hardly believe you don't throw a little tantrum at me." Xie Yuancheng, this masochist, just wants me to get angry with him.
I braced myself against his back and leaned close to his face: "I'm not going to be angry with you anymore. I have such a good man by my side. If I don't cherish him, he'll fall for someone else later. How am I supposed to live then!"
"Ying'er, don't talk nonsense. How could I like someone else? We've been through so much together. Even though you're all talk and no action, I've always relied on you to turn things around when it matters."
"You're good at talking, but I really appreciate it. I won't get angry with our handsome young marquis anymore."
"I'll just say it: you have to tell me wherever you go, and if you leave smiling again, I'll get angry."
I felt safest next to him; although Xie Yuancheng was thin, he was still strong. As soon as we entered the courtyard, Xizhi and Suling chattered around us, saying they wanted a hug too.
"Father, take Mother inside first. You two go to your studies." Xie Yuancheng told the two little ones to go to their studies, though he could barely speak properly.
"Yuancheng, they're still young. All they can do is greet people. How can they study?"
"They're almost two years old, they should have learned to speak by now. If you hadn't spoiled them at the Ji residence, they could be practicing martial arts with little sticks by now."
"Your expectations are too high. It's better to teach slowly."
I really feel sorry for my two little ones. They've only just learned to walk, and now they have to start learning a whole bunch of things as they grow up. Xie Yuancheng let me go to the hot springs, but he won't let me leave until he comes back.
"I want to play with Xizhi and Suling too~" It's rare to see them laughing and jumping around like that. They're all holding a small book and reading along with their teacher.
“Ying’er~ It’s already too late for us to teach them now. If you don’t want them to be able to protect themselves in the future, I don’t object.”
I remembered the villains behind this, but I still steeled myself and let him make the arrangements. I definitely want to take Xizhi and Suling out to play later. Yu'er is really lucky to be a little prince; he doesn't have to learn things at such a young age.
Xie Yuancheng went out for a while, and I heard Xizhi calling out "Daddy" with a grin, and Su Ling also called out happily. They hadn't played for long before Xie Yuancheng sent them away.
"Why don't you play with them a little longer? They're still young and need their parents' company." I reached out to pull the thin blanket covering Xie Yuancheng, but he shook his head.
“Ying’er, I can do whatever you want with everything else, but not this. Back then, Mother didn’t agree with my brother and me learning things so early. If it weren’t for my father-in-law, I would have been dead long ago.”
"Don't talk nonsense, I won't say anymore." I hugged his waist. Xie Yuancheng talked about the current situation again. He wasn't 100% sure that the future would unfold as he predicted and planned.
However, he has already prepared a way out for us all, so Xizhi and Suling cannot be raised as ordinary children, otherwise the small courtyard would not have been built.
"Okay, then you have to promise me that if you decide to do something bad and you have no chance of succeeding, you'll take me with you. Even if we're buried together, we'll be in the same place."
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng held me in his arms. He was so gentle, how could I leave him and go far away alone?
It was already evening, and I pulled the bed curtains back. Xie Yuancheng, unusually, agreed to let me sleep inside. I saw that he was still asleep, and just as I was about to get out of bed, he pulled me back into his arms.
"We won't let you wander off, let's sleep a little longer~"
“You don’t even comfort me when I sleep at home.” I touched the scar on his chest, a stab wound from the battlefield, a scar that can’t be covered up.
"It's all because of Ying'er. I was in the Western Regions King's tent, and we hadn't finished talking when I heard the news that you had disappeared. I was thinking, what if one day I fall asleep and you disappear even when you're lying next to me?"
"No, you're overthinking it. I really wouldn't do such a thing."
