"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have anyone I like. It's not right to love you, nor is it right to hate you. Anyway, it has to be you. No one else is as good as my eyes."
"Really?" Xie Yuancheng leaned closer, staring intently at me. "Then why do you always wear men's clothes? It made me think you were a man who looked a lot like you. I know you were fooled by your men's clothes even before your identity was known."
He must be upset. Look at his expression; he looks so uncomfortable. I didn't have the strength to hold him, so I could only talk to him, telling him to overthink it. It's just a set of clothes; why make such a big deal out of nothing?
"You're so petty. If I really didn't like you, I would have left long ago. Why would I have had your child?"
"Hmph! Even if you hate her, she's still my woman, and she has to have my child!"
I just closed my eyes. He's just having his old problem act up again. I don't know if it's because he was seriously injured when he came back from the Western Regions last time, but sometimes his mind isn't clear.
I felt sad just thinking about the blood, so I opened my eyes to look at him. Xie Yuancheng actually blushed. I couldn't let that expression disappear.
"Oh my, even the Marquis is a man who can be charmed by me, he's blushing. Let me pamper you a little."
"Ugh, it's all your fault. Why did you have to give me that affectionate look?" Xie Yuancheng released my pressure points. I had the strength to tease him. This guy is all bark and no bite; he can't take a few words.
"Get up quickly, I still need to read. I can't look at the children, but I'll look at the books the shopkeeper gave me."
"No!" Xie Yuancheng grabbed my waist and wouldn't let me leave. I reached out to touch his hair, and seeing that he wasn't on guard, I reached out and pulled off his hair crown, and his hair hung down like silk.
"Ying'er~ you're teasing me again!" Xie Yuancheng's face turned red again. I wanted to touch it earlier, and this time I actually got my hands on it. It was much better than I had imagined.
"Who told you to blush? My dear Marquis is still so innocent and cute. Come here, let me give you a kiss."
"Ying'er~ Who taught you to be so frivolous~" Xie Yuancheng always knows how to talk, and he still manages to rub his face in his mouth.
I half-embraced him; now I'm the man and he's the woman. This bastard must have been ridiculed by Li Ruowei, otherwise he wouldn't be so frustrated.
In the end, it was Xie Yuancheng who pleaded with me until I changed my clothes. When he saw me put the clothes on the rack, he reached out to burn them, but I quickly stopped him.
"No, I love this outfit the most. It suits you best, Yuancheng~ don't burn it."
"No, it doesn't look good to me at all."
"Then why are you blushing? You just think it's great."
I held his hand tightly, and no matter how strong Xie Yuancheng was, he wouldn't break free. I took the opportunity to put the clothes away and reminded him that I would be very sad if they were burned.
"Ying'er~ you don't like me anymore." Xie Yuancheng saw me protecting a piece of clothing so much, and he started acting silly again. This idiot, how could she be angry with him just because a piece of clothing was ruined?
"No, that's not it. I like you the most, both in the past and in the future. I'll only ever like you, no, I mean love you~"
I hadn't even put on my women's clothes yet, and he was so happy that he wanted me to take a nap with him. I also wanted to go boating on the small lake and have afternoon tea, but Xie Yuancheng actually asked me to postpone it.
"I shouldn't have agreed to your request next time. You always want more than you have." I complained, pinching his arm. Xie Yuancheng had already fallen asleep, leaning on my shoulder.
When he woke up, I helped Xie Yuancheng change his clothes, making sure he was dressed in soft clothing so he could play with the other children. He had slept very well at noon, so he happily agreed, and I took him around without objecting.
"Daddy~" Xi Zhi carried a rag doll over, and Xie Yuancheng squatted down to be at eye level with Xi Zhi. The father and son were talking, although I couldn't understand what Xi Zhi was saying.
I took Su Ling and Yan'er to play on the side. These little ones, despite their young age, have so many ideas. But I could only clearly hear what Yan'er was saying. I had to guess what Su Ling and Xi Zhi were saying, and if I guessed wrong, they would jump up and down and shake their heads, their chubby little faces moving with the action. It was so funny.
It's much more fun at home. Talking with the children and seeing how they change every day makes me very happy. When I told Xie Yuancheng about it, he looked so proud, he practically wanted me to call him "big brother."
The Double Ninth Festival is fast approaching, and this year it's a festival for climbing mountains. I changed my clothes early this morning. This outfit is much simpler than the formal attire I wore for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I had wanted to look at the formal attire more, but our clothes are all worn out, so I could only rely on my imagination.
If I were to mention it to Xie Yuancheng, he would definitely start spouting off about making another one, but the two have different meanings, so of course I wouldn't want a new one.
"Ying'er~ You look better in red, and it should match my clothes, that would be perfect~"
Xie Yuancheng came in from outside. I had painted my face with yellow powder and wore a dogwood tassel on my chest. This time we climbed the mountain at noon, and we would come back as soon as we lit a cigarette.
"Yes, her clothes are either dark red or some other shade of red, and given how beautiful the Marquis's wife is, that's why she looks so good!"
"You've even started to brag! It's a good thing to have this awareness. My sister isn't going out today; my brother-in-law has to take care of the children. We'll just go out for a smoke, take a short walk, and come right back. Would you like to ride in a sedan chair?"
"Forget it, this outfit feels the same as the one I wore for my wedding. If you really want me to ride in a red sedan chair carried by eight men, wouldn't that mean we're getting married all over again?"
If I hadn't strongly objected, Xie Yuancheng would have insisted on turning today into a wedding ceremony. I don't want to marry him again; it's so unlucky.
When the wedding dress was delivered, Xie Yuancheng was unhappy all day, saying that the dress couldn't compare to the one he wore for his wedding. I tried to persuade him until my throat was dry, but he was still unhappy.
"Ying'er, you just like to overthink things. I have to do it again, otherwise it would be a waste of Ying'er's brain. You're smart one minute and silly the next. I need to give you more surprises while you're still young, and see how you escape now."
I watched him speaking with such conviction that I almost wanted to hug him and comfort him, but the makeup was already done, and if I messed it up, I wouldn't make it in time for the auspicious time.
"Yuancheng, if we don't go out now, we'll miss the auspicious time. Let's talk about it once we're in the car."
I started urging him, and Xie Yuancheng finally picked me up. I love snuggling in his arms. Last Mid-Autumn Festival, I felt especially good. I like anything Xie Yuancheng does.
As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw a bright red carriage. If I didn't see the wheels and the horses pulling it, I would definitely think it was a sedan chair, and a sedan chair used for weddings at that.
"You're the one who likes to mess around. I really like it. Hurry up and get in the car~" No wonder he made me cover myself with a red veil with gold thread embroidery. Only he would think of that.
