The butler bowed modestly and said, "Then I won't disturb you three from resting."
After he left, Lin Yitang placed the jade in front of Wen Zeli and said, "I'll give it to you."
Wen Zeli pushed it back and said, "Just keep it. It should have been yours."
Lin Yitang silently grasped the jade in his hand, the thoughts in his heart were like tangled silk threads, which could not be cut off and were in a tangled mess.
In fact, until today, she still wanted to leave after completing the mission, just to make sure Wen Hangxing could live a good life.
Of course, as she stayed in this world for longer and longer, and had her own friends and career, Lin Yitong did feel hesitant and reluctant at certain moments, but she still suppressed these emotions.
Wen Zeli was tall and had long legs, but when they walked together he was always half a step slower than her, and she never seemed to catch up with him.
Looking at his cold profile, Lin Yitang thought to himself: Then I'll help keep it for now, and I'll return it to him when I leave.
Thinking of this, Lin Yitang did not refuse anymore and put the jade back into the box.
When she raised her head, she was surprised to find that Wen Hangxing was staring at her with an indescribable expression on his face. Lin Yitang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he saw something?
Wen Hangxing suddenly said with a look of jealousy: "Ji Bo really likes you. He didn't even look at me the whole time."
Lin Yitang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wen Hangxing lovingly. Forget it, seeing how silly he looked, he probably didn't notice anything was wrong.
Wen Hangxing's original intention was to provoke a war, but the result seemed to backfire. He thought it was Lin Yitang's new trick, so he took a few steps back cautiously, crossed his arms and said, "Your expression is disgusting, don't have any evil thoughts."
Lin Yitang was speechless: "Look at you being so silly, I really can't stand it."
Wen Hangxing tilted his mouth, like a silly roe deer: "Tsk, tsk tsk."
Lin Yitang couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled Wen Zeli's sleeve and said, "Look at your son, how did you educate him?"
Wen Zeli glanced at Wen Hangxing from the corner of his eye, taking in his ugly face. However, he did not lecture him as Lin Yitang had imagined. Instead, he said, "I'll take care of the outside affairs, and you take care of the inside affairs."
Is this still her responsibility?
Lin Yitang refused to take the blame, "No, the perfect wife for an excellent man is one who is responsible and beautiful. Mr. Wen, it seems that you are not so good."
Wen Zeli did not refute, but replied indulgently: "That's because he is stupid."
Lin Yitang continued: "I agree."
Wen Hangxing: “…”
Very good, today is also the day to play a supporting role in the love of parents!
He had no chance of winning against the two men in front of him. One controlled the economy, and he didn't want to be broke next month; the other was eloquent, and he didn't want to humiliate himself.
Wen Hangxing pushed open the door of the bedroom next door in grief and anger, and escaped from his parents, whose fighting power crushed him.
Lin Yitong and Wen Zeli also returned to the room. When Lin Yitong had tidied everything, he discovered a very serious problem.
Wen Zeli came out and saw Lin Yitang standing motionless beside the bed. He asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yitang said blankly: "I suddenly realized that there is only one quilt tonight."
Wen Zeli glanced at the quilt on the bed and said, "It's okay. There should be a spare in the cabinet."
He opened the cabinet and saw the thin quilt inside and fell silent.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Lin Yitang stood on tiptoe to look at him from behind, and only saw a few sets of sheets.
"What should we do?" Lin Yitang looked up and asked him. Although they were sleeping in the same bed with Ting Lanting, the two of them continued the habit of sleeping in the same room for the first time, each sleeping in their own quilt.
Wen Zeli pondered for a moment and said, "You cover yourself with the quilt, and I'll cover myself with this blanket."
Lin Yitang looked in the direction he was looking and saw a thin blanket at the end of the bed. He took a deep breath.
"Are you sure? This blanket isn't even long enough to cover your feet. Don't catch a cold."
The temperature difference between day and night is large in summer. In addition, the garden is surrounded by mountains and water, with nearly ten artificial canals. Although the temperature is not high at the moment, Lin Yitong can still feel the cool breeze blowing in from the wide-open window while standing by the bed.
Wen Zeli put his hand on the blanket and said, "How about you sleep with me?"
Lin Yitang changed his tone instantly, "Then you should cover yourself with a blanket."
Wen Zeli chuckled, shook out the thin blanket and spread it flat on the bed, then got up and went out.
Not long after, he walked in with a quilt in his arms. Lin Yitang asked in surprise, "Did you go to see Ji Bo?"
Wen Zeli looked at her with his eyes downcast, thinking to himself: Normally when she gets angry with me, she is sharp-tongued and quick-witted, but now she is so stupid.
"We can't let Ji Bo and the others know about this. They'll notice something's wrong with just a little guess. I got a quilt from the guest room."
Lin Yitang knew that he had made a fool of himself and said "Oh" slowly.
"Go to bed quickly. I'll return the quilt tomorrow morning." Wen Zeli urged.
"Why?" Lin Yitang asked in genuine confusion.
Wen Zeli was bending over to make the bed. "The guest room is cleaned daily. If the servants come in and find that the quilt that was originally placed on the bed is missing, how are we going to explain it?"
Lin Yitang: "You have a point, leave me alone."
Wen Zeli curled his lips and said, "It's okay, silly beauties are also cute."
Lin Yitang: "...implying something about me, right?"
Wen Zeli stood up and looked at her, denying it flatly: "No, my wife is beautiful and has a frank and innocent personality. She is my blessing."
It must be said that men have a way of praising others. Lin Yitang's tail was almost raised to the sky. She said proudly: "Boss Wen has good taste."
Wen Zeli nodded in agreement: "Not bad luck."
Lin Yitang was really embarrassed now. Her eyes wandered around the room, but she was too embarrassed to look at Wen Zeli.
His eyes fell on a photo frame on the cabinet. Lin Yitang walked over with interest, picked it up and found that it was a photo of Wen Zeli and a lady when he was a child.
The woman in the photo sat upright on a chair, holding the impassive young Wen Zeli in her arms, her eyes soft and tolerant as she gazed at the camera. Lin Yitang suspected this must be Wen Zeli's mother, who looked like a well-read, elegant artist.
Wen Zeli didn't know when he had finished packing up the things in his hands and walked behind Lin Yitang, "This is mom."
Lin Yitang felt a burn on her back, and she quickly put the photo frame back to its original place, "I didn't mean to touch your things."
Wen Zeli's hand passed through her shoulder and held down her flustered hand. "It's okay. You really should meet her."
"Ah..." Lin Yitang wanted to call her aunt, but when she met Wen Zeli's insightful gaze, she subconsciously changed her words, "Mom, how did she..."
Lin Yitang's words lingered in his mouth for a long time, but he still couldn't say the last two words.
