Chen Jie said, "How could it not work, how could your husband possibly fail?"
Saying this, he actually swept his wife into his arms, startling her. She exclaimed, "Husband, be careful of your wound!"
Chen Jie said, "It’s fine."
"Husband, it’s still daylight!"
"All the better to see clearly."
"Husband, the door, the door isn’t locked!"
Chen Jie said, "It is locked..."
The setting sun shone through the window onto the bed in the room, while birds chirped busily outside.
Everything was so harmonious. Were it not for the swaying canopy and the creaking wooden bed, perhaps, it would be even more harmonious.
A green plum crushed a begonia, the begonia bending to the wind and waves.
The wind rolled as clouds unfurled, passion thick, journeying together to the phoenix’s call at Wushan!
In the evening, Ruirui finally had enough play, following Third Miss Hua back home, only to find no one in the courtyard.
Third Miss Hua furrowed her brows, looking around, and noticed nothing unusual in the courtyard; it seemed they had not been attacked.
*So where could those two have gone?*
The exhausted wife, upon hearing this call, suddenly awoke.
Chen Jie, holding his wife, said, "It’s okay, sister-in-law is watching out for them."
Su Yunjin said nervously, "But ..."
Ruirui, finding no one at home, became anxious and shouted around.
She arrived at the bedroom door, peeked inside, and called, "Sister, brother-in-law, are you in there?"
Su Yunjin’s face flushed red like an apple, caught in such a compromising situation by her own little sister... this...
Chen Jie, however, responded naturally, "Oh, Ruirui’s back, wait outside, your sister is helping me with my wound."
"Sister-in-law, please keep an eye on her."
Third Miss Hua, hearing this, said, "Why lock the door if you’re just treating wounds?"
Chen Jie said, "It’s unsightly with my shirt off."
Third Miss Hua looked skeptically towards the room, "Yunjin, are you okay?"
"Ah, nothing’s wrong, Sister Hua, I’ll be right out."
With this, Su Yunjin climbed up, sitting on Chen Jie to put on clothes one piece at a time, but then suddenly she realized something alarming and bounced up from Chen Jie.
"You want to die, don’t you?"
The wife glared at Chen Jie angrily.
Chen Jie complained, "I didn’t do anything."
"You... you just like causing trouble!"
Su Yunjin said, while rustling into her clothes, whereas Chen Jie simply pulled up his pants, his body still lightly injured and wearing only a simple cloak.
The door opened, and Su Yunjin came out carrying a basin of bloody water.
Ruirui, looking at the blood-stained water, concernedly looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother-in-law, you bled so much, does it hurt?"
Chen Jie said, "It doesn’t hurt."
Ruirui said, "But today, brother-in-law was amazing, with just one spear you killed that bad guy."
Chen Jie said, "How do you know he was a bad guy?"
"Anyone who opposes brother-in-law is a bad guy!"
Hearing what Ruirui said, Chen Jie was startled, then touched the little girl’s head and said, "You’re really smart."
Meanwhile, Su Yunjin dumped the bloody water, and Third Miss Hua said to Su Yunjin, "Can’t you two pay a little more attention?"
"To your health, you know, wounded as you are, and yet..."
Su Yunjin’s face turned red instantly, but she quickly said, "Sister, I truly was inside tending to the wound."
"Uh-huh, your wound, or his wound?"
Su Yunjin was at a loss for words, her face turning red with embarrassment, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
Seeing Su Yunjin , Third Miss Hua laughed, "Hehe... my silly sister, why be embarrassed, it’s your own man, your own home, so do as you please. You’re just too shy, careful you don’t lose out to a little vixen outside."
"Sister, surely there aren’t that many little vixens."
Third Miss Hua said, "Alright, I’m leaving."
Third Miss Hua intended to leave, but Su Yunjin said, "Sister, why not stay for dinner?"
At this moment, Daisy also ran over and said, "Sister-in-law Hua, stay for dinner."
Chen Jie also said, "Sister-in-law, stay and try Yunjin’s cooking."
Hearing this, Third Miss Hua said, "Alright, I just happen to have a basket of crabs back home, I’ll bring them over."
Hearing about the crabs, Daisy excitedly ran around the courtyard.
Chen Jie, watching his family , smiled happily.
*All his efforts were for his family to live peacefully, and this was quite nice.*
Just like that, the family sat down together for dinner, and after finishing the meal, Chen Jie went to bed early. These past few days of non-stop martial arts training had indeed tired him out.
Due to Chen Jie’s injury, Su Yunjin and Ruirui slept together that night.
Chen Jie, having already experienced earthly delights during the day, reluctantly agreed.
Like that, he slept until midnight but was awakened by the System’s notification tone.
