Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 294: Chapter 294 My Life Begins with Meeting You_1

An Jing immediately said, ”I also think that farming is simple and comfortable, especially when I do it with you.”

Xiao Changyi’s cool lips couldn’t suppress the smile that was trying to emerge.

An Jing tiptoed and kissed the corner of his slightly raised lips before asking, ”Did you really come back because your adoptive father kept wanting to arrange a marriage for you and it bothered you?”

”I had already planned to return. I don’t like that kind of life, but the old man wouldn’t let me come back, and he was whining and crying, so I stayed in the palace with him for a year.”

The old man...

The current Emperor...

An Jing: ”...” He used to call him that before. It seems he really got used to it...

”Later,” Xiao Changyi continued, ”he thought about arranging my marriage every day, and Chengyu would go on and on about it whenever he got the chance. I found it annoying, so I ran back home.”

”With only ten taels of silver?” An Jing raised her eyebrows, her lips tinged with a smile, the teasing intent very clear.

Xiao Changyi wasn’t annoyed. He just slightly curved his lips, bowed his head, and affectionately rubbed his forehead against hers, saying, ”I didn’t think I would meet you at the time, and I thought ten taels of silver would be enough for me, so I only took that much.”

”And Meng Zhuqing didn’t give you, the young master, any gifts?” An Jing continued to tease.

Xiao Changyi said, ”He did. He took most of what the old man gave me and offered it to me, but I didn’t take it.”

”Why not?”

”Those were all things from before I met you, and my life began only when I met you.”

An Jing was instantly smitten, sweetness reaching the core of her heart. Without caring if Xiao Changyi was prepared, she pounced onto him, pushing Xiao Changyi down onto the bed.

In the end, she kissed Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi indeed liked it when An Jing took the initiative, but he wouldn’t stay passive forever. He hugged An Jing back, kissing her while slowly rolling over, and then An Jing found herself pressed beneath him.

The night was still long.

But the night for you and me has just begun.

...

The next day, after breakfast, Su Chengyu was preparing to depart for the Capital. Although Xiao Changyi had sold him four jin of vermicelli, An Jing still prepared some farmer’s produce to give to him for free to take back.

Like sweet potatoes, like potatoes.

Su Chengyu accepted them all without disdain. If it were anyone else, he would certainly not care for these items, but they were grown by his Brother Yi, and he valued them highly.

”Brother Yi, the reason I could come to see you and Sister-in-law is that the Emperor allowed it,” Su Chengyu said. ”The Emperor is old and can’t endure the hardship of travel. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been my turn to visit you.”

An Jing: ”...” Could it be that the Emperor himself wanted to come?

Regardless of whether Xiao Changyi was paying attention to him, Su Chengyu continued with a gentle smile, saying, ”Brother Yi, the Emperor truly misses you and wants to meet Sister-in-law. I hope you can bring Sister-in-law to the Capital to see him someday.”

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

But An Jing laughed and said, ”We’ll visit the Capital when we have the chance.” It would be nice to travel occasionally.

Su Chengyu immediately said, ”That would be wonderful!” After a pause. ”Parting is such sweet sorrow, and you and Brother Yi’s sister-in-law shouldn’t see me off further. Let’s part here.”

”Wait.” Xiao Changyi suddenly spoke up, his tone indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations.

The excited and joyful Su Chengyu, who was just turning to leave, turned back around and said, ”Brother Yi, what is it?”

Xiao Changyi took a letter from his chest and handed it to him: ”For the old man.”
