Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue was somewhat stunned; she almost didn't react at all.
Looking at the person in front of her who was looking at her expectantly, Jiang Jingyue spoke softly and called out to him.
"My husband."
That soft, sweet "husband" made Qin Hanwu's heart melt.
He couldn't resist any longer. He reached out and lifted Jiang Jingyue's face, then slowly leaned down and kissed her luscious red lips.
The moment he took it into his mouth, it felt like something exploded in his mind.
He couldn't help but grip the woman's slender waist tightly with his hand, lifting her slightly so that she could get closer to him.
In the past, Qin Hanwu would never have believed that he would do such a thing in public.
But now, ever since he met the little woman lying in his arms.
He felt that all the principles he had always adhered to had crumbled in front of this little woman.
He couldn't help but deepen the kiss. For a moment, it seemed as if only the two of them remained in the world, making one marvel at the beauty of the world.
If Jiang Jingyue hadn't kept pushing him, Qin Hanwu wouldn't have wanted to let go, nor would he have been willing to let go.
However, in the end, Qin Hanwu had no choice but to let her go.
As soon as she was released, Jiang Jingyue gasped for breath.
At this moment, she was leaning against Qin Hanwu's chest, her hair disheveled and her lips swollen.
He looked pitiful, as if he had been bullied terribly.
Jiang Jingyue's appearance only fueled his urge to bully her.
However, since they were outside, and seeing the people around them pointing and whispering, Qin Hanwu put his arm around Jiang Jingyue and went to a place where there were few people.
Seeing the little woman still clinging tightly to him, Qin Hanwu was both amused and exasperated.
"Xiao Jing, there's no one here anymore. You don't need to be like this. Come out!"
Once she felt that all those unwanted gazes were gone, Jiang Jingyue immediately pushed Qin Hanwu away, no longer letting him hold her.
Suddenly, he was pushed away, and the sweet, soft little girl was no longer in his arms. He felt as if he had lost a lot.
Jiang Jingyue looked up at Qin Hanwu and couldn't help but glare at him.
She spoke in a soft, delicate voice.
"Your Highness... why are you suddenly acting like this towards Xiao Jing? You scared Xiao Jing half to death."
Qin Hanwu didn't like hearing this, so he couldn't help but frown.
"Xiao Jing, take back those words. I don't like them. I can't help myself to treat you this way; I couldn't control myself. It's mainly because you're such a wicked person, Xiao Jing..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but his eyes remained fixed on Jiang Jingyue, his gaze filled with an unfathomable darkness.
Feeling his murderous gaze, Jiang Jingyue sensed something was wrong.
She immediately reached out and grabbed the man in front of her, then sweetly and affectionately pleaded with him.
"Your Highness, why are you like this? Didn't you say you were going to take Xiao Jing to see the lanterns? Let's go see the lanterns instead, okay?"
What man could resist that sweet, coquettish tone?
Before Qin Hanwu could even react, his head was already nodding.
The moment she saw him nod, Jiang Jingyue immediately pulled Qin Hanwu and walked out to a crowded area.
The streets were filled with lanterns, and there were many people watching them, making it a very lively place.
Jiang Jingyue looked at the large crowd surrounding her and became very curious about what was happening.
"Husband, it looks lively up ahead. Shall we go and see what it is?"
Since Qin Hanwu brought Jiang Jingyue along, it's because he hopes she can have fun.
As long as she's happy, seeing her happy makes him feel better too.
"If I'm not mistaken, they're playing a riddle game over there. Since Xiao Jing is interested, let's go take a look."
When we arrived at this place, we saw a fairly large stall in front of us, with a frame made of bamboo on top of it.
The shelf was filled with countless riddles.
Seeing so many riddles, Jiang Jingyue was itching to try them out.
After listening to the game rules for a while, Jiang Jingyue pulled Qin Hanwu and squeezed in.
With her superb crowd-pushing skills, she quickly squeezed to the front.
As soon as she arrived at the front, Jiang Jingyue immediately asked an old man guarding the stall.
"Grandpa, does this mean that you can guess riddles and then get the lantern you like?"
Older people generally prefer well-behaved children like Jiang Jingyue.
The old man immediately looked up at Jiang Jingyue when he heard her voice.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, who clearly didn't seem like the type to solve riddles, the old man couldn't help but laugh.
"Little girl, take a look and see which lantern you like. Grandpa will give it to you. You don't need to guess any riddles. Whichever one you like, Grandpa will give it to you, okay?"
Seeing how generous the old man was, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but smile amidst the envious gazes of the crowd. However, in the end, Jiang Jingyue still didn't agree to the old man's request.
"Grandpa, I still want to try solving riddles. Things that I earn through my own efforts will feel more meaningful."
After hearing what Jiang Jingyue had said, the old man didn't try to persuade her any further.
"Little girl, it's good that you've thought it through yourself. These riddles of mine are not simple at all."
"Don't come crying later when you can't guess it."
The old man's words left Jiang Jingyue both amused and exasperated.
With no other option, she reached out and pulled up the man who had been standing behind her as part of the background.
"Grandpa, don't worry. If I really can't guess, I'll ask my husband to help me. My husband is very good at it."
Looking at the tall, imposing man in front of him, the old man immediately nodded, but he figured they definitely wouldn't be able to guess the riddle he had specially made.
"Alright, in that case, let's begin. If you can guess five riddles correctly, you can choose any of these lanterns you want."
Jiang Jingyue had already decided on the lantern, so she pulled out five riddles without hesitation.
The fire has died down and the furnace is cold, leaving only a restless mind – guess a Chinese character.
Jiang Jingyue took the paper, and the character "donkey" jumped out onto it.
Part-time farming and part-time studying – guess the Chinese character.
Jiang Jingyue picked up her pen again and began to speak.
…………
Jiang Jingyue solved the next few riddles without breaking a sweat.
Not to mention the old man, even Qin Hanwu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Jiang Jingyue to be so capable.
Jiang Jingyue held the lantern she had won by solving riddles, grinning from ear to ear, and kept showing it off to the people next to her.
"My husband, look, isn't this lantern beautiful!"
