Chapter 133 I Can Afford You

Lin Nuan is no longer the indecisive and timid Lin Nuan.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jingyan seriously, with a faint smile on her lips, and asked jokingly: "Are you in love with me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He tightened his grip on her hand, then raised his head and looked at her, his expression even more serious and solemn than when he was in Lin Shuhong's study just now.

"yes."

Hearing his answer, Lin Nuan was stunned. Her mind went blank for a moment and she didn't know how to start.

She turned her eyes away from his face, not daring to look at him again.

Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.

She felt a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to respond to him.

You don't need to look to know that her face must be very red now.

The carriage fell silent for a moment, and the two held hands all the way to the General's Mansion. When the carriage stopped, Lin Nuan wanted to rush out of the carriage immediately, but she forgot that the two were still holding hands, and she fell into Xiao Jingyan's arms without standing firmly, and he hugged her tightly.

Lin Nuan's face turned even redder. She struggled to get up and quickly got off the carriage. Listening to the hearty laughter coming from the carriage, she fled into the mansion and returned to her own yard.

When he returned to the yard and saw that Xiao Jingyan did not follow him, he slowly calmed his rapid breathing and the beating of his impatient heart, secretly cursing himself for being useless.

I was clearly the one who asked first, so why did I run away first in the end? It's so embarrassing.

She was secretly thinking about how to turn the situation around, whether to confess her feelings or to test Xiao Jingyan.

As she was thinking, it was time for dinner, but she hadn't made up her mind yet. Lin Nuan was still a little nervous, worried about how she should face Xiao Jingyan when she had dinner with him later and what she should say.

Then think about the fact that two of us have to sleep together at night. It’s so awkward.

She was a little fidgety sitting at the dining table. Before dinner was served, Xiao Jingyan came back. It had been a long time today, but she still hadn't seen him. She couldn't help but get worried again, thinking: Did he regret it and didn't want to admit what he said?

Lin Nuan was daydreaming when she saw a maid leading Xiao Jingyan's personal servant Fu Lai in.

Fu Lai bowed and said, "Madam, the general asked me to come and tell you that he has some things to do and will not be back for dinner."

Even though Lin Nuan had guessed it, she still felt a little disappointed. She nodded and said "yeah" to indicate that she understood, then let the person leave.

After everyone left, Lin Nuan said in a petulant tone, "If you have the ability, don't come back to sleep at night, and don't come to see me in the future."

Having said that, I stopped waiting. No one was coming anyway, so what was there to wait for?

I didn’t eat much for dinner. As soon as it got dark, I took a shower and washed up early, turned off the lights in the room, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Lin Nuan originally thought that she couldn't fall asleep, but unexpectedly, she felt sleepy not long after lying on the bed.

In the middle of the night, Lin Nuan suddenly felt that there was someone beside her. She turned over in a daze and rubbed against the man's arms out of habit.

Xiao Jingyan looked down at the person in his arms and said softly, "Why are you going to bed so early today?"

Lin Nuan woke up when she heard the voice, "Didn't you say you had something to do?"

"I'll come back naturally after things are dealt with." Xiao Jingyan said, reaching out and gently stroking Lin Nuan's hair.

"Is what you said in the carriage today true?" Lin Nuan asked.

"Yes." Xiao Jingyan replied.

"Then why are you hiding from me again? You didn't even come for dinner, and you came back so late?" Lin Nuan asked.

"I left the mansion as soon as I entered it. Something happened in the military camp that needed my resolution. I was worried that you might have wild thoughts if you couldn't find me halfway, so I asked Fu Lai to come back and tell you. Didn't that kid explain it clearly to you?" Xiao Jingyan said.

Lin Nuan snorted, "He said you had something to do, and I thought you were avoiding me on purpose."

Xiao Jingyan couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. "Why would I hide from you? Don't think too much." He hugged Lin Nuan tightly in his arms. "No matter what happens, I will be with you."

After hearing this, Lin Nuan felt warm in her heart. She leaned on Xiao Jingyan's chest, feeling his body temperature.

"Then don't do this again in the future. Tell me everything." Lin Nuan said softly.

"Okay, I promise you." Xiao Jingyan said gently.

The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms and had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, when Lin Nuan woke up, Xiao Jingyan was no longer around. She thought of what happened last night, and felt a little sweet and shy.

Although the two of them just slept in each other's arms last night, both sides were sure of their feelings for each other.

After Lin Nuan finished washing up, she was thinking about looking for Xiao Jingyan when she saw him walk in.

"Good morning." Xiao Jingyan greeted with a smile.

"Morning." Lin Nuan responded shyly.

After they had breakfast together, Xiao Jingyan took Lin Nuan out to the market.

The streets were bustling with activity, and Lin Nuan looked at everything around her excitedly.

The mood of the two people now is different from when they first arrived. Since they are here, they might as well make the best of it. Even if they want to complete the task, they cannot rush. Right now, the two of them just want to - date.

Although the streets in ancient times were not as dazzling as they are today, and the food and toys sold were not as exquisite, the snacks nowadays do not contain any preservatives, so people can eat them with confidence.

The customs of the Great Xia Kingdom are relatively open, so there are many young men and women on the streets, including some ladies from wealthy families. However, their clothes are more luxurious than those of ordinary people, and they are accompanied by maids and servants.

Before you came, you were fond of ancient costumes and jewelry made by skilled craftsmen, so you walked around the street for a while and bought some food. When you saw clothing stores and jewelry stores, you would go in to have a look. Soon, the maids and followers were carrying large and small bags in their hands.

By the time Lin Nuan realized that she had bought too much, she had already reaped a lot. You know, even if Xiao Jingyan was a general, his annual salary was not that much.

"Did I buy too much?" he asked a little embarrassedly.

"Although the general's mansion is still a little poor now, I will work hard to earn money. If you want to buy something in the future, just go to the butler and ask him to pay you from the mansion's account. I can still support you." Xiao Jingyan said.

It is said that to see whether a man loves you or not, you just need to see how much money he has, whether he is willing to spend money on you, and how much he is willing to spend on you.

Lin was quite satisfied with Xiao Jingyan's performance.

"I also have a dowry, I can also do business and earn a lot of money, so I don't have to spend money all the time."
