Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Indeed, Finding a Good Husband is Important_1 Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Indeed, Finding a Good Husband is Important_1 It was always her mother who did the dishes…
An Jing finally realized something was amiss. Modern men rarely wash dishes or cook, yet just now, she had let Xiao Changyi, a man from ancient times, cook and wash dishes without ever uttering a word about doing it herself.
Even if she had politely told Xiao Changyi that she would do it, that would have been better. But she didn’t even offer a polite word to him…
As if it were a matter of course for Xiao Changyi to cook and wash dishes for her…
“Cough!” An Jing coughed fiercely, amused at herself. Was she already treating him as her husband?
Xiao Changyi heard the noise and turned to look at her, “What’s wrong?”
“Do you feel like something is not quite right?”
Xiao Changyi shook his head.
“Then there’s nothing wrong, carry on with the dishes~” An Jing said with a radiant smile, letting Xiao Changyi continue washing dishes. Indeed, finding a good husband is very important.
Her husband, very good! She, very pleased!
As soon as Xiao Changyi finished the dishes, he took An Jing to the inner room and then brought hot water for her to bathe.
Because of the medicinal herbs applied to her foot, An Jing couldn’t take a proper bath, so she could only give herself a quick wipe-down.
After her bath, An Jing called Xiao Changyi in, and he naturally picked up the bathwater and went out to dispose of it.
Because An Jing’s foot injury made it difficult for her to move, Xiao Changyi found a wooden stick for her to lean on when walking.
The two hadn’t married yet, so it wasn’t proper for them to stay together, so Xiao Changyi gave the inner room to An Jing and moved himself into the firewood shed.
Sitting on the bed in the inner room, An Jing felt somewhat remorseful, “I should be the one staying in the firewood shed.”
“You will stay here,” he said with an irrefutable tone.
If it had been anyone else speaking to her like that, An Jing would have been put off, but at this moment, it was Xiao Changyi, and not only was she not put off, she felt pampered, as sweet inside as honey.
This man was too good to her, there was no way she could not like him.
An Jing smiled and said no more about moving to the firewood shed. Instead, she suggested, “We should get married soon.”
Xiao Changyi actually nodded in agreement, “Mhm.”
The smile on An Jing’s face grew even wider. He might appear cold, but why did she find him so adorable~
Suddenly remembering something, she quickly took out the servitude contract from her bosom and said, “Keeping this thing on me isn’t safe, and it wouldn’t be good if it were lost. Do you have a safe place where I can hide this?”
This servitude contract was the proof that severed all her ties with the Lin family; it needed to be well preserved.
Without a word, Xiao Changyi took the contract from her and placed it inside his chest.
“Pfft~” An Jing couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
Xiao Changyi, unchanging in expression, said, “If there’s any issue during the night, just call for me.”
Then, Xiao Changyi turned and walked out.
An Jing watched Xiao Changyi disappear from sight, the smile at the corner of her mouth growing rather than diminishing. The servitude contract had made its way back to his hands after all, but her state of mind was different from before; now, she felt incredibly content.
Previously, she had given him the servitude contract just to break away from the Lin family as soon as possible. Later on, when he returned the contract to her, it was both expected and unexpected.
She had anticipated that he would return it to her, but she did not expect that he would talk of marriage.
In the modern world, there were men who could match her, but none could make her feel as comfortable as he did. It was as if they had known each other for a long time, already deeply understanding each other’s nature.
Just one look, and they understood each other.
Just one gesture, and they knew each other’s intentions fully.
This feeling, it was really nice.
