After returning from Shi Xiaolan’s, An Jing still felt quite uneasy, and because of her bad mood, she decisively pinned down her husband, Xiao Changyi, on the bed.
Xiao Changyi was pinned down but didn’t say anything; instead, he held her, allowing her to press firmly against him.
An Jing laid her ear against his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and spoke in a muffled voice, "Husband, if I bear you a daughter, you would be very happy, wouldn’t you?"
An Jing immediately smiled and looked up at him, "Husband, I really want to have a child for you."
"Didn’t we agree to let things take their natural course?" He paused, "Not having children is also quite good—just you and me."
An Jing knew her husband preferred their world of two, and her heart instantly became as sweet as honey, but she still asked, "Don’t you think if we had a child, it would be even more complete?"
"I don’t think so, we are already complete as we are. If we could have a child, that would just be an embellishment."
An Jing became even happier and sighed with bliss, "You really do like having just the two of us in our world."
Xiao Changyi actually nodded: "Mm."
An Jing climbed up a bit, hugged her husband’s neck, and lay on him again, before changing the subject, "Husband, do you think Brother An Fu will really remarry?"
"I don’t know about others, but I know I wouldn’t."
"Of course you wouldn’t, since you’ve joined my family. Only I can divorce you, and if I don’t, you’ll have to be mine alone for your entire life."
"Even if I hadn’t joined your family, I would still belong to you and you alone."
"I love to hear you say that!" An Jing climbed up and kissed her husband on the lips. Then, with a smile, she requested, "Husband, in the future, you should say things to me more often, then I won’t need to eat candy—so sweet indeed."
"Mm." Xiao Changyi tilted his head up and also kissed her.
An Jing’s heart grew even sweeter. After a while, she got more serious, "Xiao Lan is very emotionally unstable right now. Let’s wait a while longer before going to the Capital. I’m a bit worried about her."
Xiao Changyi immediately said, "Your heart should only have room for me!"
An Jing found this extremely amusing and sweet, and soothingly kissed him several times on the lips before speaking, "How many times have I told you? We can have many friends, but there is only one of you. Why are you still jealous?"
"I’m not jealous; just reminding you," he replied.
"Pfft." An Jing laughed out loud, shaking with mirth. Her husband, though aloof, could always say one thing that made her very happy, very happy.
She was truly fortunate, much more so than Shi Xiaolan!
For six consecutive days, An Jing visited Shi Xiaolan in An Village every day.
On this day, seeing that Shi Xiaolan had stabilized and wasn’t as distraught as on the day of the childbirth, and appeared relatively normal, An Jing was finally at ease. Then, she and Xiao Changyi planned to go to the Capital in a couple of days.
Before going to the Capital, An Jing intended to speak with Wang Youbao, lest he come looking for them and not know where they had gone, getting anxious in the process.
As soon as An Jing and Xiao Changyi arrived at the entrance of the Wang family, the Wang family’s gatekeeping young servant warmly and politely welcomed them inside. Then, encountering a servant, the servant informed them that Wang Youbao was in the backyard pavilion.
Following that, the servant led An Jing and Xiao Changyi to the backyard.
Wang Youbao was drinking tea in the backyard pavilion when he saw An Jing and Xiao Changyi arrive, and he was very pleased.
Catching a glimpse of the jade pendant given to him by Li Wuyu on Wang Youbao’s waist, An Jing’s eyes were filled with deep meaning, but she said nothing specifically about it.
