Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Her Husband is Really Cute, So Cute~_1 Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Her Husband is Really Cute, So Cute~_1 Xiao Changyi stared at An Jing for a long time, and only when he saw that An Jing was still watching him did he let out a helpless sigh, saying, “Uncle Liu is a good man. He never expects me to repay him.”
“It’s good that you can see it that way.” An Jing let out a big sigh of relief, not hiding her worry for him. She was indeed a bit afraid he’d be too hasty in repaying favors.
Yes, if it were possible to repay, one certainly should. But one must not be reckless in doing so. Like Liu Sanya, not disciplining Liu Sanya would be considered repaying Old Hunter Liu’s kindness.
Seeing An Jing so worried about himself, Xiao Changyi slightly curved his lips, murmuring in a near whisper, “My dear Changyi…”
An Jing was initially startled, then with a proud arch of her brow, she said, “What, am I not yours?”
Xiao Changyi immediately replied, “Yes, I am yours.”
“Pfft~” An Jing was amused into laughter again. She glanced at the empty bowl in his hand, teasing him once more, “Finished drinking?”
He actually nodded, “Mm.”
“Pfft~” Her man was really so adorable~
Once her laughter subsided, An Jing finally asked, “You were angry just now.” It was a statement, not a question.
Xiao Changyi was silent for a moment, then nodded honestly.
“Why were you angry?” An Jing pressed.
“Because of you.” After a pause, “No one else is allowed to bully you.”
An Jing’s heart trembled. After a long moment, she said playfully, “I wouldn’t let anyone bully you, either~”
Though the words seemed joked, each and every one was heartfelt. Initially, An Jing was a little worried that Xiao Changyi, a man of the past, wouldn’t accept it. After all, given the prevailing chauvinism, how could a man possibly accept a woman’s protection?
But seeing Xiao Changyi nod and respond, An Jing’s heart settled down, and she was also taken aback.
How did she get the sense that Xiao Changyi knew she harbored concepts of gender equality deep down in her bones?
When she came back to her senses, she said, “You’re different from other people.” Different from other men.
“You’re also different from other people.” Different from other women.
An Jing smiled, raising her eyebrows, “Then, are we a ‘match made in heaven, a pair fashioned by the Earth’?”
Although Xiao Changyi’s expression was still impassive, he affirmed An Jing’s question with great certainty, “Yes.”
An Jing’s smile made her eyes disappear.
Xiao Changyi couldn’t resist and reached out to touch An Jing’s head.
“What if I go bald from all your petting one day? What then?” An Jing suddenly said.
Xiao Changyi’s movements froze, and after a moment, his hand slowly withdrew from An Jing’s head.
An Jing immediately grabbed that hand moving away from her head, tightly grasping it with both of hers, and then enveloped his large hand completely with her own.
Looking up at him, she smiled brightly, “I’m just kidding~”
Xiao Changyi also looked at her, feeling the warmth and strength transmitted from her hands to his, and seeing the smile on her face, the corners of his usually cool lips slowly curled up.
“If you smile a bit more, I’ll give your hand back to you~” An Jing teased Xiao Changyi again.
Xiao Changyi immediately stopped smiling, the slight curve in his lips fell.
An Jing: “…” Did this mean she should just keep holding it, never letting go?
An Jing’s smile widened.
In the end, An Jing still returned his hand to him, because it was already the hour of Shen, and Xiao Changyi needed to fetch water for cooking dinner; otherwise, they would have to light the lamps again, wasting lamp oil.
There is a well in the center of Jiuping Village. Just as Xiao Changyi stepped out with the water bucket, someone came to the door—
