Chapter 1022: Chapter 1023: I’m Not Angry, I’m Just Worried About You

Xiao Changyi didn’t hold An Jing for long, soon, he let go of her and took out a Fulan flower cake from the basket, ”This is a Fulan flower cake given by Gong Juechen. The Fulan flowers haven’t been gathered into the city so quickly, you eat this first, it should relieve a lot of pain.”

An Jing, however, smiled and shook her head, ”I helped Se Se yesterday, I know how many cakes the Fulan flowers Se Se brought into the city can make, I can still hold on, better give this cake to someone who needs it more than I do, saving one is saving a life.”

Too many people had died in this city. She truly did not want to see anyone else die.

Xiao Changyi fell silent, then placed the cake back in the basket. He then stood up, giving the basket with the cake to Qin San, telling him to deliver it to the Medicinal Diet Hall, for the people there who needed it most.

When he walked back, Xiao Changyi hugged An Jing again, tightly embracing her while he whispered in her ear, ”Jing Er, you’ve worked hard.”

This past month, you’ve worked hard.

An Jing shook her head, her heart aching as she said, ”You worked harder.” This past month, he had to be consulted for everything in the city, his burden was so much heavier than hers.

Then, An Jing smiled, ”Still, it’s almost over... almost over... We’re about to return to the Capital, to see the children...” As she spoke, tears filled her eyes.

”Mm.” Xiao Changyi hugged her even tighter and angled his head to place a light, gentle kiss on the back of her neck.

With the urgent need to combat the epidemic, Wang Youbao and Meng Lanqing learned that Fulan flowers could treat the epidemic and hurriedly led a large group of people to pick these flowers on all the mountains in the South Shen area.

With many helpers, they quickly gathered a lot of Fulan flowers.

”I’ll take these in to save people first, you keep having people pick more, and then you can bring them in,” Meng Lanqing said.

”Mm!” Wang Youbao had no objections.

By noon that day, Meng Lanqing had delivered the first batch of Fulan flowers to Nanshen City, and Gong Juechen had people quickly boil them while also adding a few other medicinal herbs.

As soon as Gong Juese saw Meng Lanqing, she gleefully came over and hugged his arm, ”Husband~”

Meng Lanqing ignored her.

”Husband~” Gong Juese was not at all angry and continued to giggle.

Meng Lanqing kept ignoring her.

”Husband, don’t be mad, I promise I won’t fight with you anymore, is that okay?” Gong Juese playfully assured.

Meng Lanqing scoffed, ”You’ve made promises before to always listen to me, what happened, did you listen?”

Gong Juese immediately forced a laugh, ”Cough cough... well, I feel so guilty, my brother was forced to come here by me, if he caught the epidemic and died here, how could I live pretending nothing happened?”

Meng Lanqing wasn’t unreasonable, he understood that Gong Juese wasn’t trying to not listen, she was just overwhelmed with guilt. Therefore, he stopped being pretentious and said, ”I’m not angry, I’m just worried about you.”

”Oh oh oh, Husband, this is the first time you’ve said you care about me!” Gong Juese was overjoyed. ”Come on, give me a kiss.” Saying that, she even tiptoed and moved her mouth towards Meng Lanqing.

Meng Lanqing: ”...”

Gong Juechen couldn’t bear to watch, ”Se Se, I’m still here.”

”What does that matter, you’re not a stranger,” Gong Juese boldly stated.

”It seems so,” Gong Juechen earnestly nodded in agreement.

Meng Lanqing: ”...”
