Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1482: Chapter 1483: I’ll Wait for You Here, You Must...

An Jing burst into laughter instantly, ”There’s nothing I can do about it. Alright, don’t be like that, kiss me again.”

”Hmm.” As he responded, Xiao Changyi lightly kissed An Jing’s lips, this time just a gentle touch, leaving almost immediately.

An Jing first smiled at Xiao Changyi, then buried herself in his embrace, pressing her ear against his chest. She loved listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, it made her feel safe.

After a while, An Jing laughed and said, ”The word-of-mouth spreads really fast, you know? Meng Zhuqing said that people in several cities in Xiyun already know that the flattening of Chilin by Xiyun was destined by heaven, and since you’ve sent so many people to Chilin, surely this talk of destiny will soon spread everywhere there. Just waiting for Ye Zhi and me to cause an earth-shattering explosion, proving this is indeed heaven’s will.”

”Hmm.” Xiao Changyi first responded, then added, ”You’ve worked hard.”

An Jing shook her head, ”You always say I’ve worked hard, but I feel you’ve worked harder.”

Pausing for a moment, An Jing looked up and smiled directly at Xiao Changyi, ”Husband, do you know why you think I’ve worked hard, while I feel you’ve worked harder?”

Xiao Changyi responded cooperatively, ”I don’t know.”

An Jing was very pleased with Xiao Changyi’s cooperation, and continued joyfully, ”Of course, it’s because we love each other! You can’t bear to see me work hard, and I can’t bear to see you work hard, even if you’re just a little bit tired, I’ll feel bad about it. Just like when I’m a little bit tired, you’ll feel bad for me too.”

Pausing again, An Jing’s smile grew even brighter, ”Husband, we’ll continue to be this happy, won’t we?”

”Hmm.” One word, simple and powerful.

An Jing immediately said, ”Husband, I love you.”

”I love you too.” As he said this, Xiao Changyi lowered his head and exchanged a kiss with An Jing.

An Jing giggled with glee, ”I said, since we have the chance, let’s kiss a few more times—did you really kiss me?”

Xiao Changyi ignored An Jing’s teasing and instead reminded her, ”Think of me.”

”Hmm hmm.” Although she had said she would miss him earlier, now that he asked, she nodded immediately.

”Stay safe.”

”Hmm hmm.”

”Return safely.”

”Hmm hmm.”

”Return safely without a scratch.”

”Hmm hmm.”

Xiao Changyi had many things he wanted to say to his wife, but in the end, he didn’t know what else to say, so he just held onto his wife tightly, cherishing the time she was still in his arms.

If it weren’t for ensuring everyone believed it was destiny, he would certainly have sent someone to protect his wife, allowing someone to accompany her to blow up the mountain.

An Jing also knew that no matter what she said, the deeply loving Xiao Changyi couldn’t completely ease his worries, so she said nothing more, simply holding Xiao Changyi tightly in return.

And right before An Jing fell asleep, Xiao Changyi whispered softly in her ear, ”I’ll be waiting here for you, you must return safely.”

”Hmm...” An Jing had already closed her eyes, and the words were half-dreamily uttered just as she was about to drift into slumber, and then she fell completely asleep.

Xiao Changyi, however, did not sleep. Instead, by the moonlight, he watched An Jing sleeping in his arms until dawn.

...

Meanwhile, as An Jing slept, on the other side, Ye Zhi couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning on her bed, feeling like something was left undone.

After tossing and turning for quite a while, Ye Zhi finally resigned to it, got up, dressed, and went to find Gong Juechen.

But when she reached the entrance of Gong Juechen’s tent, Ye Zhi hesitated and retreated.
