Chapter 768: Chapter 769 My Husband Hates Being Threatened the Most_1

”By the way,” Gong Juechen added, ”I still care a bit about my own face.”

An Jing: ”...”

Although there was hardly any food left on the table, Gong Juechen eventually ate two large bowls of rice before leaving.

As soon as Gong Juechen left, An Jing asked Xiao Changyi, who was standing by the stove washing dishes, ”Husband, how much of what he said just now do you think was true?”

Xiao Changyi said indifferently, ”Less than eighty percent was true.”

An Jing: ”...”

”There is one thing he said that should be true.”

”Which one?” An Jing was curious.

”The one where he said he cares about his sister, Gong Juese.”

”Then does he really like Wild Goose Jade?”

”He truly likes Wild Goose Jade’s face; whether he likes Wild Goose Jade herself, I do not know.” After a pause, ”He is probably more complicated than we think.”

Another pause, ”However, even if he is complicated, it doesn’t matter. With Meng Lanqing restraining Gong Juese, even if he harbors ill will towards us, he won’t do anything to us.”

An Jing also knew about Meng Lanqing’s loyalty to her husband, and how that loyalty would lead Meng Lanqing to follow her husband, protect him, obey his commands, and never betray him for life. Thus, An Jing had nothing to worry about.

...

Three days later, the wounds on the back of An Jing’s hand started to scab over, and as she and Xiao Changyi were in the yard helping the four little ones ride wooden horses, Wild Goose Jade arrived.

An Jing originally thought Wild Goose Jade had come to bid them farewell, since she had already been staying with them for nine days. Although her body had not fully recovered, she was well enough to leave.

But to their surprise, as soon as Wild Goose Jade entered the courtyard, she knelt before Xiao Changyi.

An Jing tried to help Wild Goose Jade up, but she refused to rise.

Wild Goose Jade not only refused to get up but also said, ”Wild Goose Jade wishes to take Brother Xiao as her master, and hopes Brother Xiao will grant her this wish!”

An Jing finally understood why Wild Goose Jade was kneeling, and seeing that Xiao Changyi paid no attention to her, she could only offer a dry laugh before saying, ”Wild Goose Jade, my husband does not take disciples. Previously, a girl wished to take my husband as her master just like you, but since he doesn’t take disciples, that girl ended up taking me as her master.”

Wild Goose Jade said, ”If Brother Xiao refuses to take Wild Goose Jade as his disciple, then she will not stand.”

An Jing: ”...” My husband really hates being threatened like this, yet you’re still doing it...

Xiao Changyi continued to ignore Wild Goose Jade, as if she didn’t exist, and went on helping the children ride the wooden horses. The children were riding the wooden horses, laughing merrily, glee in their giggles.

All An Jing could do was to speak again, ”Wild Goose Jade, my husband really doesn’t take disciples. Even if you were to kneel to death here, he wouldn’t take you.”

Wild Goose Jade had made up her mind to take Xiao Changyi as her master; how could she change her mind just because of a few words from An Jing? She still knelt there, back straight, aura cold and aloof, her gaze unwaveringly firm, clearly determined not to rise unless Xiao Changyi accepted her as a disciple, even to the point of kneeling to death on the spot.

”Ignore her,” Xiao Changyi finally spoke, but it was only these three words, instructing An Jing to continue helping the children play with the wooden horses along with him.

An Jing saw the staunch resolve in Wild Goose Jade and wasn’t sure what to say for a moment, so she just let Wild Goose Jade kneel there, and went to assist her husband with the children as they played on the same wooden horses her husband had once made.

The four children all especially enjoyed riding the wooden horses, but because they were still too small to sit steadily on them, An Jing and Xiao Changyi stayed close by, supporting them, to prevent any of the children from falling off.
