"Knocked out again..." Gong Jue Chen’s demonically charming face was filled with grievance, "If you keep knocking me out , one day you might knock me silly, right...?"
An Jing had no sympathy whatsoever, "That would be nothing less than you deserve!"
Gong Jue Chen fell silent for a moment before saying, "Then I’ll try not to pester my wife. I’ll wait until her injuries are healed."
After a pause, Gong Jue Chen went on, "However, I feel that trying, I probably won’t be able to do it."
Try? Gong Jue Chen truly didn’t manage to. He’d no sooner finished dinner at An Jing’s place than he went to pester Yan Yao. Unfortunately, as soon as he began, Meng Zhuqing appeared and knocked him out with a hand knife.
For the next two days, every time Gong Jue Chen tried to pester Yan Yao, Meng Zhuqing would knock him out.
Gong Jue Chen was not only unafraid of being beaten but also unafraid of being knocked out; Meng Zhuqing had knocked him out countless times, and he had not learned his lesson at all. The more he was defeated, the more courageous he became. The more Meng Zhuqing knocked him out, the more he wanted to burst into Yan Yao’s room and pester her.
Having knocked out Gong Jue Chen countless times and seeing that he wasn’t afraid, Meng Zhuqing even thought about just killing him outright.
But this time, Gong Jue Chen managed to sneak into Yan Yao’s room while Meng Zhuqing wasn’t paying attention.
Meng Zhuqing hastily entered Yan Yao’s room as well, and as Gong Jue Chen was about to reach the bed, Meng Zhuqing raised a hand knife and struck him on the back of the neck, instantly knocking him out.
Before passing out, Gong Jue Chen had only one thought: Just a little bit more... just a little bit more and he would have held the beauty on the bed in his arms...
As soon as Meng Zhuqing knocked out Gong Jue Chen, like every other time, he planned to carry him out.
"Thank you." The usually expressionless Yan Yao, lying in bed, suddenly spoke. Her voice was very faint but was indeed filled with gratitude.
Yan Yao had never spoken to him before, so Meng Zhuqing was surprised at first, then his ordinary face turned slightly red, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, even a little incoherent.
"No... No... You’re welcome."
Immediately after, whether it was to hide his awkwardness or not, Meng Zhuqing quickly carried out the unconscious Gong Jue Chen.
With Meng Zhuqing looking after Yan Yao and preventing Gong Jue Chen from doing anything inappropriate, An Jing felt quite at ease.
After all, it was just a matter of a hand knife from Meng Zhuqing.
Feeling reassured, An Jing and Xiao Changyi took their four children for a day out in town.
For An Jing and Xiao Changyi, the adults, the plain town didn’t offer much excitement.
But the four children found it fascinating; they found everything new and exciting. Their eyes shone brightly at all the things they had never seen before, as if they had opened the doors to a new world.
Whenever they really wanted something, they would point at it with their little hands. They couldn’t speak, but they could shout for their parents. So, they would point at the item while eagerly calling out to An Jing and Xiao Changyi, desperate for them to give them what they wanted.
An Jing had always felt that it was good to take the children out to see the world, and certainly much better than letting them just wander around their house all day. Now, seeing the children so happy in town and clamoring for things, An Jing herself felt delighted.
"Husband, why don’t you buy one for Jing’er and the others?" Seeing that the four children really liked the sugar blowing man’s creations, An Jing said this to Xiao Changyi with a smile.
