Chapter 39
Xu Qi wasn’t angry, but after that incident, she always suspected that people who came to her house looking for Ye Lan might have something inappropriate to say to him. Therefore, she rarely went out, staying at home every day to be with her husband.
Ye Lan was very satisfied with this kind of life. He was happy with his wife and just wanted to stay with her. Since his wife could stay at home to take care of him, he naturally felt very willing.
However, on this day, Xu Qi made an appointment with Xu Zhi to go hunting wild boars on the mountain, so she had to let go of her husband, whom she had been holding for several days.
Standing at the door, she said to Ye Lan seriously, “If someone comes today and talks nonsense to you again, you must not believe them. Otherwise, when I come back, you’ll be in big trouble, understand?”
Xu Qi poked Ye Lan’s forehead.
After that extremely pleasant experience, Ye Lan dared not overthink anymore. If it happened again, he would be doomed.
“I got it. I’ll wait for you at home, and you should be careful when you’re out.”
Ye Lan handed Xu Qi what she wanted, completely looking like a soft-hearted person.
Xu Qi comforted him, “I’m just scaring Xu Zhi. We can’t handle those wild boars ourselves anyway. I just want to make her stop nagging every day.”
With that said, Ye Lan felt much relieved, but then he remembered to remind Xu Qi, “You should come back early, I’ll make drunken chicken for you.”
Xu Qi’s eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed.
The process of hunting wild boars was very simple because after the two of them went up the mountain, they didn’t even see the shadow of a wild boar. Xu Zhi didn’t seem like she wanted to hunt wild boars either. Instead, she kept talking about her family affairs.
For example, how her father’s temper was getting worse, and how her brother didn’t want to get married. Xu Qi just occasionally nodded in agreement.
Finally, Xu Zhi sighed, “If possible, I also want to buy a husband to serve myself. There are clearly two men in my family, but I have to take care of everything myself, even their meals.”
Saying this, Xu Zhi couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Xu Qi advised, “Then just buy one. What’s there to worry about?”
Xu Zhi looked miserable. “If my father finds out, he’ll break my legs.”
Xu Qi had nothing to say to that.
“What about you now?”
“What else can I think? Just sneak out from being busy and play with you. Oh right, where do wild boars usually appear?”
Xu Qi had never seen a live wild boar before, so she naturally didn’t know. The two of them wandered around aimlessly and finally found a wounded rabbit.
They looked at each other while holding the rabbit.
In the end, they decided to take the rabbit home with Xu Qi.
Xu Zhi also liked the rabbit very much, but those two men at home... they might end up cooking and eating the rabbit.
It might not necessarily be cooking; frying was also possible.
Thinking about it made them both unable to resist.
Xu Qi put the rabbit in her arms, already thinking of several dishes in her heart.
On the way back, Xu Zhi told Xu Qi that there was a plague in some areas, and it was said that the disease spread quickly among humans, so she reminded Xu Qi to be careful.
They parted ways at the intersection.
“Ah Lan, I’m back.”
“Oh, Qi’er finally came back.”@@@@
In contrast, Ye Lan, who had always wanted children, was in a daze on the bed.
Xu Qi didn’t pay attention to him for a while and nervously asked the doctor what precautions to take.
When the doctor mentioned less physical activity, Xu Qi’s face blushed uncontrollably. But until she sent the doctor away, Ye Lan was still staring blankly on the bed.
Uncle Man was happily offering his blessings to her, but it didn’t take long before he left the space for the newlyweds who had just received good news.
“Ah, why aren’t you happy?”
Xu Qi calmed down and walked to Ye Lan’s side.
Ye Lan was a little confused. He had wanted children very much, and he was very happy when he heard that she was pregnant. But when he turned his head and saw his wife’s happy face, he wasn’t as happy anymore.
Especially when his wife was so happy that she forgot to ask about his injury...
“Hug me.”
Ye Lan reached out his hands.
Xu Qi immediately hugged him under his armpits and pulled him into her arms. She also lifted his buttocks and shifted him a bit so that he could sit completely on her lap.
He was deeply embedded in his wife’s arms, feeling the familiar smell and warmth, and he felt a vague panic in his heart.
Xu Qi knew Ye Lan so well. Seeing him like this, she knew he must be starting to overthink things again. She couldn’t help but touch him with her hand.
“Didn’t you promise not to overthink things anymore?”
Ye Lan raised his head in a daze and saw his wife’s face very close to him. He said softly, “Wife, you didn’t apply medicine for me.”
Xu Qi:...
“I, I got too excited just now and forgot.”
She felt a little guilty and kept blaming herself. How could she forget this? Was she losing her mind?
Ye Lan didn’t say anything and hung his head. Xu Qi could feel his displeasure, so she put him down on the bed.
She rubbed her head against his neck and sincerely apologized, “I was wrong this time. Forgive me, next time I’ll prioritize you in everything!”
“Even the child will come after me?” Ye Lan followed up with a tight question.
Xu Qi was startled for a moment, then she patted his fair face, “You’re even jealous of the child.”
She wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but Ye Lan’s eyes were fixed on her tightly, making it impossible for her to joke. She could only helplessly say, “Of course, the child is yours, so I love it, but you’re the one I care about the most.”
Xu Qi rubbed Ye Lan’s head.
Finally, Ye Lan was a little happier. He moved his feet lightly, but couldn’t help but cry out in pain again.
Xu Qi hurriedly looked over in distress, “What’s wrong? Does the wound hurt?”
Ye Lan lay in Xu Qi’s arms, weakly nodding, and said with a hint of complaint, “You didn’t even remember my injury just now...”
Xu Qi immediately blamed herself, quickly applied medicine to his foot, hugged him, and comforted him with kisses and sweet words for a long time before he finally felt better.
