Chapter 51: Chapter 51 She, Adored and Welcomed!_1 Chapter 51: Chapter 51 She, Adored and Welcomed!_1 “Xiao Changyi, you said you trusted me.” An Jing tilted her face upward, gripping Xiao Changyi’s hand tightly, her eyes intently fixed on him, her voice soft and low.
Xiao Changyi opened his eyes and looked back at An Jing.
An Jing added, “Uncle Liu died of illness.” So, it was not your curse that killed him.
Xiao Changyi held her hand in return, tightly. He nodded slightly, “Mhm.”
At last, An Jingxin’s heart settled. After a moment, she said, “Actually, you’ve always known, right?” She knew that Mrs. Hongxia hated him deep inside, just like Xiao Chen’s family, they all wished for his death.
An Jingxin’s heart wrenched with pain for her beloved, but she didn’t say anything to comfort him. Instead, she simply said, “Bend down.”
Xiao Changyi obediently bent down.
With a faint smile on her face and an extremely tender gaze, An Jing reached out her other hand to touch Xiao Changyi’s handsome face.
Xiao Changyi stiffened for a moment, but soon relaxed, allowing her to touch.
While touching, An Jing softly said, “Xiao Changyi, from now on, you have me, understand?”
Xiao Changyi looked at her intently, feeling the warmth from her palm on his cheek. He nodded, “Mhm.” After a pause, he added, “You also have me.”
An Jing smiled, her dimples blooming like flowers, “Mhm~”
Perhaps, her crossing over to this time was merely to meet him—Xiao Changyi.
“Go and cook, I’m hungry~” she said.
Since her foot was injured, An Jing had temporarily not planned to show off her cooking skills, so for now, Xiao Changyi was still the one cooking.
Although the meals Xiao Changyi cooked were not delicious, An Jing found them much tastier than before, simply because they contained the emotions of both her and Xiao Changyi as a catalyst. Even if it was bitter, it tasted sweet in her mouth.
After having dinner and a bath, An Jing started lying in bed to sleep.
Before drifting off to dreamland, she was still thinking that since Xiao Changyi hadn’t gone to see Mrs. Chen today, Mrs. Chen was probably very angry and might not be able to sleep from the rage.
As for Mrs. Chen’s possible sleepless rage, An Jing felt very pleased.
She quite enjoyed it!
Elsewhere, the Xiao family’s house was rarely lit at night.
Even though she felt it was a waste of lamp oil, Mrs. Chen thought that Xiao Changyi would definitely come over today. When he did, she would ask him for a lot of Silver, so what did a little lamp oil matter to her.
But from the hour of Shen, to the hour of Xu, Xiao Changyi still hadn’t shown up. Mrs. Chen, who was getting more and more impatient, became angry, “Gousheng, go and see why that Wretch hasn’t come over yet!”
Xiao Gousheng was idly shaking his leg while sitting on a stool. Upon hearing Mrs. Chen’s words, he immediately ordered his wife, “Hehua, you go!”
Hehua shrank her neck back, but eventually stood up and walked to the door. Seeing that it was pitch-black outside, she recoiled back in fear and whispered in a very low voice, “Gousheng, it’s so dark outside, I… I am scared…”
“What’s there to be scared of!” Xiao Gousheng kicked Hehua with his foot.
Hehua was kicked, but she dared not utter a peep. Her eyes simply reddened and she looked pitiful, as if she could burst into tears at any moment.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chen scolded, “Don’t cry at this time, it’s bad luck. If your crying scares away my windfall, just wait and see how I’ll have Gousheng deal with you!” She paused, “Both of you go together and see what’s going on for heaven’s sake, why that Wretch still hasn’t come!”
In this era, observing filial piety was extremely important. Although Xiao Gousheng was a scoundrel, he still respected his mother very much. Seeing that Mrs. Chen was genuinely angry, he hurriedly dragged Hehua out with him.
