"And the Crown Prince, they have to split everything evenly, five catties each," Xiao Changyi added indifferently.
"Jing Er?" When he didn’t get a response from An Jing for a while, Xiao Changyi called out. He didn’t believe she was scared. His wife was quite fearless.
An Jing wasn’t scared; she was stunned.
Her husband must be the first person in history to dare to sell things to the Emperor and the Crown Prince, and to charge them money no less.
After a long silence, An Jing finally whispered, "You sold things to the Emperor and the Crown Prince... and you charged them money..."
Xiao Changyi said, "Fermented bean curd and reeves shad have cost us time and effort, naturally we should charge for them." He didn’t think anything was wrong.
After another long silence, An Jing excitedly tiptoed up, wrapped her arms around Xiao Changyi’s neck, and gave him a fierce kiss, "Husband, you are just so badass!"
"It means very impressive!"
Xiao Changyi didn’t speak, but the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Husband, I think you better just secretly tell me your real identity," An Jing said, drawing her ear close to Xiao Changyi’s mouth.
Xiao Changyi replied in an extremely soft whisper right beside An Jing’s ear.
An Jing heard it clearly, and she fell silent again. After a while, she patted Xiao Changyi on the shoulder with all seriousness, "Don’t worry, I will keep your secret."
Though Xiao Changyi’s face showed no expression, he affectionately rubbed his forehead against hers.
An Jing, smiling with her eyes squinted, said, "No matter who you are, I only know that you’re my husband."
"I am your husband," Xiao Changyi said, rubbing his forehead against hers again, feeling it was not enough, he rubbed his nose against hers too.
An Jing was still smiling, but then her smile suddenly faded quite a bit, "Husband, you don’t care about fame and fortune, right?"
"Hmm." He paused, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come back." He paused again, "It’s because I came back that I was able to meet you," and he paused once more, "I would like to live with you, simply and ordinarily, amid the mountains, rivers, and fields, forever and ever."
An Jing’s smile widened, and she teased, "You’ve already promised me an eternity without even finishing this lifetime, what would you do if I didn’t agree?"
Xiao Changyi nuzzled her nose with his, his hot breath all over her lips, his voice sounding as if it came from his mouth yet also his nose, "Would you not agree?"
An Jing, still grinning, knew her husband was really being naughty, aware that she couldn’t resist such intimacy, "How could I not? Of course, I would love to!"
Xiao Changyi’s cool lips curved up. After looking forehead to forehead for a while, he finally kissed her.
Fame and fortune are nothing compared to you. I only wish to be with you for all eternity.
Because the Government Official spread the good news loudly with gongs, many people learned that An Jing was now a First-class Good Citizen. Not only Shi Xiaolan and the people from An Village came to congratulate An Jing, but even the people from other villages came to offer their congratulations.
Many people from Pan Family Village also came. The Pan family actually wanted to share in the joy since becoming a First-class Good Citizen was a great honor. However, considering the past conflicts between Pan Shuangquan and An Jing, they dared not come, afraid that instead of sharing in the happiness, they would stir up trouble.
The An Jing of today was no longer the Lin Anjing of the past, who could be pushed around at will.
Pan Shuangquan’s parents were thoroughly disappointed in him; they had no idea that he had been involved with Lin Luye long before, and now they were also caught off-guard by An Jing’s elevation to First-class Good Citizen.
