She didn't want to wait until she was in her sixties or seventies to leave, when everyone would be so old and wrinkled that they wouldn't even look at her. She didn't know if it was because she was often exposed to the sun, but now she was not only dark-skinned but also had wrinkles.
I've used plenty of skincare products and face masks, but they still can't save my face. The supplements in the warehouse have all been used up; I'll replenish them when I get back to Beijing.
“I’ll go back with you. I’ve scared the barbarians at the border. As for the Prince of Qi, I’ll deal with him in the next few days. As for me returning to the capital, I’ll summon Wen Shi and give him the military seal once Yan Zhen takes the throne,” Xiao Yubai said.
An Shuyi glanced at him and said, "Are you really willing to give it up? After all, you trained it from scratch. Isn't it a bit of a waste to just give it to someone else like this?"
This man is really generous. Xiao Zili desperately wanted the military tally, but he gave it to someone else so casually. If he knew, he would be furious.
"Wenshi is your son, so he's mine too. It's no pity to give him to me. But after I go to that world with you, you must give me a few children." He didn't particularly like children, but he would love them if they were his and his wife's.
"I'm not a pig, why would I have several? Dream on, anything is possible in dreams."
"Doesn't my wife want to bear me a child?"
"No, it's just that I was only twenty-one in that world, and you hadn't proposed to me yet, nor did we have a ring. It's too early for me to talk about these things." She also wanted to have her own children.
Although she had never raised any children herself, and all the children in the family were raised by the original owner of the body, and her grandchildren had their own parents, she still wanted to raise a few of her own children.
Watching them grow from tiny babies to adults, calling out "Mom and Dad" and sweetly saying, "Mom, I love you the most," is the kind of happiness she desires.
Xiao Yubai looked at her and said, "Madam, what is a marriage proposal? Is it the same as a matchmaker coming to your door? I have a ring here. You can choose whichever one you like when you move in tomorrow."
He could fulfill any condition his wife desired, provided she was willing to marry him.
An Shuyi glared at him. "You wouldn't understand now. You'll understand later. I'm going to wash up and go to sleep." It's a waste of time to talk to such an ancient person.
"You were sleeping peacefully just now, why are you angry now!"
"I'm not angry, I'm just tired of talking to you!" After saying that, she went to the corner, took out the water and basin, washed her face and brushed her teeth, sat back on the bed, tore open the face mask and put it on.
Now that I'm getting older, I can't go without using face masks. This one doesn't even need to be washed off, which is so convenient.
"Madam, you look rather frightening." He had just washed his face and feet, and when he turned around, he saw her like this.
"This is a face mask, it's good for your skin. Don't talk, I need to sleep, come up here quickly."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yubai's eyes lit up. He blew out the tent lamp, took off his clothes, leaving only his underpants, and then lay down next to her.
An Shuyi saw him come up and was sleeping with her eyes closed. After all, with him there, she would sleep very well. Then she found her hand being held and then she was pulled into his arms.
"Why did you take off your robe? I just can't sleep. It'll be easier for you to sleep next to me." This old man clearly misunderstood her meaning.
"Take off your robes so you can sleep. Madam, aren't you going to take that thing off?"
"I won't take it. I'll take it tomorrow morning. Let go of me, or the face mask will fall off."
“Madam, you are already very beautiful, you don’t need this.” After saying that, he took off the strange thing and threw it away, picked up the robe next to him, and wiped the thing off her face.
"That's much better, madam. Let's take care of some important business." He then hugged her and kissed her lips.
He hadn't seen his wife for years and couldn't sleep at night thinking about her. Now that he saw her, how could he not make it up to her? Before, he didn't want to disturb her while she was sleeping, but now that she was awake, it was time to get down to business.
Helpless, An Shuyi could only respond to him. For a moment, the tent was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. As time went on, she felt something was wrong; this old man was serious.
"Madam...!" Xiao Yubai's voice became low and deep. After a long time, he finally lay down again. For a moment, the tent was filled with the sound of the two of them breathing heavily.
Looking at the person next to her, An Shuyi wanted to kick him. What a spineless coward! He thought it was for real, but it wasn't. Her hands were sore and her body was covered in marks.
"Quickly bring me some water, I need to wash my hands."
Xiao Yubai could hear the dissatisfaction in her voice, so he had no choice but to explain, "The place and the timing are not right now, I will not touch Madam."
"I will make it up to you when we get married after you pass away." He did want to, but this body didn't belong to her, so he decided to wait.
He got out of bed, took a towel from the shelf, carefully wiped the lady's hands clean, and then lay back down. "Madam, go to sleep."
An Shuyi glared at him, closed her eyes, and fell asleep quickly.
When I woke up the next morning, I thought he had already gone to train the soldiers, but he was still there. "Aren't you busy?"
"No rush. I'll take care of everything and stay by your side for the next few days. After we deal with Prince Qi, I'll accompany you to the capital." His subordinates aren't just sitting idly by; if he has to be there every day, then he might consider replacing them.
"Then let's go to the border town for a while. We've been staying in Wucheng for the past few years and haven't had a chance to go out and have fun."
"Great, the jewelry I had made is almost ready to be picked up."
"Made for me?"
"Naturally, apart from my wife, there is no one else I can put my heart into." He took the gemstones for those jewelry pieces, and he also drew the designs.
"Haven't seen you for years, you've got quite the way to talk."
“If the lady likes to hear it, then we must learn it.”
"Stop being so glib and get out of here. I need to change my clothes." With that, a clean set of clothes appeared in her hand.
In the past few years in Bianwu City, I've always worn basic clothes and rarely wore ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). These clothes are stored in the warehouse and I haven't worn them.
"I've never met the lady before, why be so formal?" Although he said this, he still left the tent.
After he left, An Shuyi changed her clothes, then washed her face and brushed her teeth. Xiao Yubai heard the noise and came in.
I saw her washing her face, so I waited beside her.
After washing my face and applying skincare products, I took breakfast out of the storeroom. "What would you like to eat?"
Xiao Yubai walked over, hugged me, and kissed me hard. "Madam, you should call me husband. Say it for me."
"What are you dreaming about? Are you going to eat or not? If you don't eat, you'll go hungry."
But the next second, she was kissed again, followed by her neck.
"Stop! My name is Husband!" If there are marks on her neck, she won't need to go out and see anyone.
Xiao Yubai released her triumphantly. "Remember, call me that next time, or I'll keep doing it. My wife, I can eat anything."
An Shuyi took out a bowl of noodles before starting to eat. This old man is becoming more and more reckless. Fortunately, he's not going too far, otherwise she would have kicked him out long ago.
After finishing their meal, the two rode their horses to the border town. Instead of rushing back, they booked a room at an inn, left their horses there, and went shopping.
"Madam, this is it." Xiao Yubai led her into a jewelry shop. "Boss, how is the jewelry I asked you to make?"
