Chapter 529.1: This is Preparing for a Child?
Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan were still idle. However, Jing Wan felt that her husband lately seemingly was a bit strange. For a time, she even suspected whether or not she lost her attractiveness towards him, because a certain someone became abstinent.
These words weren’t just said for fun. Ever since marrying, towards a certain someone’s ability in a certain aspect, she very much understood from experience. Outside of her period days, although it wasn’t sounding the pipes every night without restraint———-The next time mainly depended on the previous bedroom rite’s duration. There were two consecutive nights in a row, but three nights in a row were relatively few. And the longest time in between was also just four to five days. This kind of situation was just relatively common when they were in the northwest. Because they were busy, they won’t indulge every time either. But this time, it wasn’t the same. It was already over ten days! A certain someone had matters at hand, very busy? Completely no. It can be said that because Li Hong Ming was dealt with, there were even lesser matters.
But to really say that she didn’t have any attractiveness towards him, it seemingly wasn’t the case either. When needing to be clingy, he was still clingy, and when needing to be lovey-dovey, still lovey-dovey. Aside from not having zero distance intimacy, everything was all very normal, further not having any little vixens.
Jing Wan felt baffled inside. Afterwards, after slightly taking notice, it’s not that a certain someone didn’t have any desires towards her, just every time, it was stopping before going any further and absolutely won’t overdo it. It didn’t even reach the levels of what they did prior to marrying. Sometimes, looking into the dark depths of his eyes, it was like as if wanting to have her devoured, but in the end, he all endured. So speaking from this bit, there still wasn’t any problems.
Jing Wan propped up her chin with one hand, her finger lightly tapping her face. What was he up to now?
That bit of curiosity of hers that wasn’t very intense got aroused, although a very large portion of the reason was because of boredom, and moreover, the target was also her own husband, so she can just unrestrainedly go seek confirmation. Thus, Jing Wan began ‘courting death’, provoking the living Enma from time to time, even having his birthday present from last year brought out once more.
The living Enma was never a Liuxia Hui[1], catching Jing Wan and ruthlessly sorting out, but he still didn’t ‘sort out’ until the end. Locking Jing Wan’s waist, he tightly confined her in his arms, pinching her chin, “Wan Wan is feeling lonely?”
Jing Wan’s clothes were partly undone, her disorderly breath having yet to calm down, the corners of her eyes clearly flushed. Upon hearing this, she shot Li Hong Yuan a glare. However, this appearance of hers right now truly didn’t have any destructive power, instead making him restless again.
Li Hong Yuan ruthlessly kissed Jing Wan on the lips. Afterwards, he had Jing Wan picked up, preparing to go bathe. Moreover, judging from his meaning, it was preparing to ‘ceasefire’ again.
As such, Jing Wan was just increasingly confused as to what this person was up to. However, precisely because she wasn’t able to get an answer, Jing Wan instead became even more ‘courageous’, continuing to ‘court death’ in all kinds of ways, for example, stewing the living Enma some soup that can ‘build up the kidney’s yang[2]‘ and such. The demonic flames in Li Hong Yuan’s heart was already vigorous enough to begin with. Sometimes, he really want to directly have the person stripped and ruthlessly sort out. However, whenever Jing Wan was occasionally being mischievous like this, she always carried a happy smile, so although Li Hong Yuan was burning inside, his mood was actually pretty good. As for getting repeatedly interrogated, exactly what he wanted to do…..
The thing Li Hong Yuan wanted to do, actually, even now, he was still hesitating. This, for him, was a very rare matter. However, he still persevered. Alright, in reality, this kind of perseverance was very unpleasant and unbearable. As for the final outcome, this time, he chose to leave it up to fate. As for whether it was what he wanted, or not what he wanted, what did he want, what did he not want? These questions, he didn’t have an answer, because he never once properly contemplated. In his eyes, it actually wasn’t necessary.
Li Hong Yuan didn’t have any control in front of Jing Wan, but when he really wanted to do something, this man’s self-control was absolutely formidable. That’s why, every time Jing Wan ‘courted death’, she got sorted out very miserably, but in the end, she still wasn’t able to achieve her goal.
After playing around for some time, Jing Wan also just settled down. In any case, exactly what her husband wanted to do, she will eventually know, merely a matter of sooner or later. This kind of thing already wasn’t the first time.
Jing Wan resumed her daily routine of planting flowers, painting, and raising pets. Her intimacy with Li Hong Yuan was still the same as before, just she won’t deliberately go provoke him anymore. This, for Li Hong Yuan, just meant missing quite a bit of joy. One has to know, to be able to have his wife take the initiative truly wasn’t easy, having finally become a little demon for once, yet now returned to being Luo Wangfei.
While the outside was fighting battle after battle, both openly and in the dark, Li Hong Yuan already haven’t left the manor gates in a very long time. For those that to this day, still believe Li Hong Yuan was powerless and useless, towards this, they naturally didn’t have any complaints. After all, he was a giant wrecking ball. If he doesn’t come out to promote his existence, for certain people, it was truly too good. However, for those that secretly worked for him, their feelings were just another matter. That was just like a bunch of officials being both mentally and physically exhausted, yet the one they served was a muddled ruler that just played around to his heart’s content, completely not bothering to work. It couldn’t be more exhausting.
Probably really having been ‘cut off’ from the outside for too long, some people began to protest. For others, it wasn’t good for them to come to Jin Qinwang Manor, but Jing Wan’s maiden family sister-in-law completely wasn’t a problem. Thus, Sun Yi Jia came carrying the Luo family elders’ certain tactful regards.
Sun Yi Jia right now had a big belly. Because it was the second child, this one’s situation was also very good. That’s why, she wasn’t as careful and cautious as the first time. Moreover, Sun Yi Jia right now was increasingly casual. Those etiquette and rules that were integrated into the bones seemingly were dissipating little by little. At least, it was no longer that proper and orderly like following the textbook to the letter.
TN: All
Jing Wan saw that she was walking quite quickly, somewhat carrying wind. As for the servants following behind her, that was truly being scared witless, seemingly just fearing that Sun Yi Jia will just accidentally fall.
“Alright, alright, the manor’s paths are smooth and leveled, and there won’t be any place that’s slippery, so would I even fall?” Su Yi Jia waved her hand at the people serving her, not bothering with the pleasantries and pointless etiquettes either, directly just sitting down.
A living environment’s influence towards a person, sure enough, was very big. That Sun Yi Jia from the very beginning, did she ever think that she would become like this today? However, in a sense, it wasn’t bad at all.
“How come older sister-in-law thought of coming to Jin Qinwang Manor?” Jing Wan had the drink specially prepared for Su Yi Jia on the table pushed over.
Su Yi Jia also wasn’t polite, picking it up and just taking a sip. The weather was too hot, and after getting pregnant, the body temperature will also be a little higher. “How is it not because you’ve been hiding in the manor for too long. Everyone at home is all quite worried, so I just came for a look.
Jing Wan was speechless, “It’s merely because the weather is getting hotter, so don’t want to go out, that’s all. What’s there to worry about?”
“I’m not worried, but grandfather and grandmother are worried.” Sun Yi Jia looked to Jing Wan and said, “Especially grandfather, lately having lots of matters to attend to. In my eyes, he is absolutely a well-tempered person, but lately, he appears to be a bit irritable.”
Alright, Jing Wan understood what she was saying, “You all should urge grandfather a little, don’t tire himself out too much. Seeing that even now, there still isn’t any movements, looks like this year we won’t be going to the Changde imperial summer residence again. When the sixth of the sixth month comes, I will go back for a look.”
Su Yi Jia nodded, “Since little sister Wan doesn’t go out, what are you doing all day?”
“Cultivating the body and mind.” Jing Wan took a sip of the specially made flower tea.
[1] Liuxia Hui – He is known for the legend of holding a beauty for a whole night and not doing anything, considered a model example of traditional virtue. The story is basically when out on a very cold night, he encounters a woman with nowhere to go and about to freeze to death, so he let’s her stay with him, but because they don’t have anything for warmth, he let’s her sit in his arms for the night to keep warm. According to the story, because his mind was filled with worries about the state and the endless wars, he didn’t have any other thoughts and didn’t do anything inappropriate to the woman. The idiom, 坐怀不乱 (sitting in the arms and not be disturbed), is based off of his story.
He was a real historical figure that lived during the Warring States period. His father was a senior official of the Lu state. His real name is actually Zhan Huo. Liuxia Hui is just a nickname that he was later known as. Hui was his posthumous name, meaning benevolence, and Liuxia was the name of his feudal fiefdom. He is also the primogenitor of the Zhan and Liu surname.
