No one, doing something for someone, should be taken for granted, even if husband and wife, and even if parents towards their children.
Jing Wan wanted to say, don’t be this good to me, I’m unable to shoulder it. However, her lips just moved, and nothing came out.
Jing Wan was rational, not easily having her emotions exposed out. But, sometimes, her thoughts were all written on her face, just like right now. Her thoughts, Li Hong Yuan for the most part can guess pretty accurately. Even if he wants to obtain her heart, he still hoped for her feelings to be relaxed and joyous, and that falling in love with him was a happy thing. That’s why, he didn’t want to make her feel these feelings were heavy and a kind of burden, carrying complicated emotions. This wasn’t what he wanted.
Li Hong Yuan smilingly pinched the tip of her nose, “Just moved like this? Remember to also be a little good to me, understand?”
“En.” Jing Wan said with a smile, but also couldn’t help but want to cry a little.
Li Hong Yuan was a bit helpless. To want to let his wife have other people’s good towards her be considered as to be expected as a matter of course, there was still a very long process. However, because the future outlook was bright, and not a hopeless abyss, it wasn’t likely to make one sink into impatience.
Li Hong Yuan suddenly leaned over, having Jing Wan picked up horizontally, even mischievously tossing her a little. Being caught off guard, Jing Wan cried out from being startled, subconsciously embracing his neck. “Bastard………..”
“Wan Wan’s cursing doesn’t have the slightest innovation.”
Excuse me, this is even disdaining that one didn’t get cursed satisfying enough?!
In reality, it’s no wonder Jin Qinwang is the capital’s hidden number one wastrel. Towards abandoning oneself to a life of pleasure, he was quite proficient. Even if bringing along his wife, there was still depth and appeal in his fun. And Jing Wan, probably never thought that in this estate, hidden under the beautiful sceneries, there were also other good things. Throughout the entire afternoon, she played around relatively crazily. Even the time back in Qi’an Fu was all far inferior in comparison. One has to know, at that time, although she played around, there was still someone advising at the side, so she won’t go too overboard, but right now wasn’t the same. With her husband indulging, as long as Jing Wan has that intention, even without her opening her mouth, Li Hong Yuan will still take the lead. He was the boss, so he had the final say. Who would dare block and say no?
It can even be said that they completely abandoned the rules, sweat drenching the clothes, the hair in a mess, and on their face and body, there was even mud from don’t know where, as well as the dew from the tree leaves. The two of them, regardless of which one, both lost their usual image.
Jing Wan pointed to the completely disastrous looking Li Hong Yuan, laughing to the point of being unable straighten her back.
Li Hong Yuan carried both helplessness and indulgence, “Whose fault is that I’m like this?” Because of his birth and upbringing, he was just destined to not be able to have himself turned into a mess. This right now, whether it’d be in his past life or this life, was all considered a first. Truthfully speaking, even in his past life, getting chased by assassins, and afterwards spending several years out in the battlefield, he was still never in such a sorry state before.
Jing Wan admit, she was precisely being deliberate. Crossing her hands at her waist, slighting raising her chin, carrying a bit of pride, what can you do?
———–What can I do? Just itching to have you cupped into the heavens, so what can I do?
Even if she crawled up onto his head, that’s still because of his pampering.
And the people serving at the side, regardless whether it’s Gong mama, Eunuch Mu, or the servant girls and bodyguards, they all renewed their perception towards these two. As expected, probably aside from one another, it was all impossible to have this side dug out.

When going back, they didn’t ride the horse. Li Hong Yuan just carried Jing Wan on his back the whole way, walking neither quickly nor slowly. Jing Wan hugged his neck, leaning by his ear, whispering private words. Not only Li Hong Yuan, but even the others were all able to sense her excitement.
Speaking of which, letting a dignified qinwang carry someone on their back, although it wasn’t without precedence, it was still more than enough to prove many things.
“Just this happy?” Li Hong Yuan turned his head, softly asking.
“En, en.” Jing Wan nodded with all her might, “Very happy.”
“As long as you’re happy.” Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled.
“Is Ah Yuan not happy?” As someone who’s obsessed with cleanliness, indulging her to play like this, towards her, as expected, was true love. This recognition, although was a bit cliche, but it still made Jing Wan’s heart feel even more delighted, and also a bit proud.
“How can that be, I’m also very happy.” For Li Hong Yuan, this was also a great truth. Ever since returning to this time, at just ‘ten years old’, he just began working out a plan. The times where he was able to be relaxed both mentally and physically were practically none. Moreover, because he’d continuously thought of Jing Wan, no matter how relaxing of a matter, for him, it was also just that.
Jing Wan crawled upwards, using her face to stick to his face.
Along the way, secretly whispering to one another, there was actually a kind of ‘the years all well’ feeling.
Returning to the villa, the servants have long prepared the hot water. Right now, having the body washed clean was what’s proper.
Just, they were a bit too dirty, needing people to serve. Thus, the two of them washed separately.
Even if she didn’t see Shi, Ci, Ge, Fu, the four of them, Jing Wan also won’t assume that they are at Li Hong Yuan’s side.
Just, while Jing Wan was in rather high spirits sprinkling the water for fun on this side, letting the servant girls wash her hair for her, loud movement sounds came from next door.
“What’s going on?” Jing Wan somewhat surprisingly lifted her brow. At this time right now, aside from a certain someone, probably no one else will make this kind of disturbance.
“This servant will go have a look.” Gong mama said.
Gong mama left quickly, but also returned quickly, just that face was somewhat unsightly.
Jing Wan looked to her, carrying confusion in her eyes.
“Two lowly sluts from the estate.” Gong mama coldly stated.
Jing Wan instantly understood. This estate was different from other estates. Although majority were flower growers, a great majority still had a family to feed. As for whether they were tenant farmers or household slaves, Jing Wan temporarily haven’t looked in to. A certain someone’s assets were too numerous, and she also wasn’t in a hurry to understand, thus only looked over a very small portion. Towards these people’s composition, these’s actually a detailed roster of names, but that thing, if without a face to match with, it was useless to look over.
Since Li Hong Yuan was this attentive towards this estate, then the times he’s come shouldn’t be few. Then, for some of the girls in the estate to have thoughts towards him, this was also something that couldn’t be more normal. One has to know, their birth wasn’t good, and their knowledge and experience limited. To want to climb onto a tall branch and become a phoenix that was also something very normal. Compared to rough fabric and hemp garments, plain tea and simple food, how many girls were able to resist against the temptation of exotic delicacies, brocade garments and jade meals, a life of luxury. By climbing onto the master’s bed, these things were further easily obtainable.
This kind of mentality won’t be looked down on, and perhaps would even be wantonly encouraged. And the ones that’ll say sour words are probably just those that don’t have a good face and good figure, or don’t have this kind of girl in the family to climb up with.
In the afternoon, when the two of them were madly playing around, Jing Wan already noticed some unfamiliar people’s existence. However, they all only dared to watch from afar, so Jing Wan was only able to see a person’s silhouette.
Because it was within expectations, Jing Wan actually didn’t have the slightest ripples inside.
After she finished bathing and nimbly tidied up, she finally neither slowly nor quickly went out. Inside the room, the lanterns were already lit.
Li Hong Yuan was reading a book, his hair scattered over his shoulders. The exterior clothes also just draped on his body, carrying some stains from blossoming water droplets, very much possessing an enticing air. However, Jing Wan furrowed her brows, going forward, “How come didn’t have the hair wiped dry? Careful not to catch a cold.” As she said this, she picked up the towel carefully wiping for him.
“It’s fine, my body is perfectly well.” However, he didn’t refuse Jing Wan’s intention.
“Even if the body is well, still can’t not have it taken seriously. ———–What book are you reading?”
“Travel records, read it to you?”
“Alright.” A certain someone’s voice was too pleasant to hear, practically forming a direct proportion with the face. Listening to him read, definitely was a great pleasure.
