Looking at Mu Fengqie's self - righteous little expression, Jing Xinche found her extremely cute. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and reach out his hand to stroke Mu Fengqie's hair.
Facing Jing Xinche's sudden move, the smile on Mu Fengqie's face froze, and her facial muscles twitched involuntarily.
She was a virgin from birth. In her previous life, she had devoted all her attention to her career. Now, was she being flirted with by someone from the grandson's generation?
Mu Fengqie's eyes were full of embarrassment. For a moment, the two were at a standstill. Jing Xinche also noticed Mu Fengqie's expression and took his hand away, looking a bit disappointed.
"You must be hungry after all this. I'll go cook something for you." Jing Xinche turned around aimlessly to hide his disappointment.
Mu Fengqie was taken aback and followed Jing Xinche with her eyes. She didn't need to think to know that the young man was unhappy.
An idea flashed through her mind. She smiled slowly and said, "I'll go with you. While it's still not dark, let's prepare what we're going to sell on the street tomorrow."
The income in the past few days had been quite substantial. If this continued, they could get rich!
As the saying goes, men and women working together makes the work easier. Before long, the smell of food wafted out, and Mu Fengqie's stomach growled in good time.
Since coming here, due to various reasons, she hadn't had a full meal. Today, she could finally have a good feast.
The summer heat receded, giving way to the afterglow of the setting sun. The orange - red light shone on the green pine trees, making everything seem so beautiful and peaceful. Mu Fengqie quietly enjoyed this pleasant time.
It was already evening, and it wasn't advisable to go out. Fortunately, they lived at the foot of the mountain, and the round - trip journey was short enough for them to return before it got dark.
It was Mu Fengqie's first time on the mountain. She didn't expect there to be so many good things. The rare Chinese herbal medicines from her previous life were everywhere on this mountain, and she picked quite a few precious medicinal materials.
"It seems we can only pick some medicinal materials today. I'll go hunting early tomorrow. It's getting late. Let's go back."
Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, and knowing that there were many wild beasts on the mountain, and considering Mu Fengqie was pregnant, it would be a great loss if she was frightened.
Mu Fengqie nodded with a smile. Today had been a very rewarding day. These herbs were very precious and could be sold for a good price. It seemed she had really had good luck today.
The two were walking down the mountain when not far away, Mu Fengqie stumbled over an unknown object. She was about to curse, but the sight in front of her stopped her.
There were wild fruits on the mountain!
Although these peaches looked small and wrinkled, they could be made into peach cans after peeling. She knew that peach cans were very popular in her world.
"Why hasn't anyone picked the fruits on this mountain? Let's hurry up and pick as many as we can before it gets dark!"
"Okay."
Night fell quietly. The two returned home as the moon rose. Mu Fengqie put down her things and started boiling the cans. By the time she finished, Jing Xinche had already made the containers as she had instructed.
"Here, taste my craftsmanship."
Jing Xinche looked at the canned food in the bowl with great interest. Under Mu Fengqie's expectant gaze, he put the canned food into his mouth. The sweet taste that melted in his mouth made his expression change involuntarily.
He had never eaten anything so delicious and didn't know there was such a wonderful food in the world.
Seeing Jing Xinche's incredulous expression, Mu Fengqie quickly took a bite. Yes! This was the taste!
Jing Xinche looked at Mu Fengqie lovingly. "Wife, it's getting late. Go to bed early."
"Okay. You've been tired all day too. Go to bed early."
With that, Mu Fengqie got into bed. She had been busy all day, especially since she was pregnant, and she was really tired.
Jing Xinche then lay down beside Mu Fengqie. Although it wasn't the first time they had shared a bed, Mu Fengqie, being a virgin from birth, even with her advanced thinking, couldn't help but stiffen her body.
Feeling Mu Fengqie's change, Jing Xinche couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. "You go to sleep first. I'll sleep outside."
"Don't! Sleep here."
She couldn't just take over the bed and drive him out!
Jing Xinche smiled upon hearing this. He pulled Mu Fengqie into his arms and placed his big hands on her belly. A warm current spread through her, making her heart beat faster.
What was this kid up to? Was he going to force himself on her? Thinking of this, Mu Fengqie's mind couldn't help but wander. Was she like an old cow eating young grass...
Jing Xinche stared at Mu Fengqie's stiff back and couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry. I won't do anything to you. You're my wife, and I'll respect your wishes and won't force you. Holding you like this will keep you warm. Go to sleep."
Having her little thoughts exposed, Mu Fengqie felt extremely embarrassed. She blushed!
Through these days of contact, she found that Jing Xinche was a reliable and honest young man, someone worthy of her trust. If she had to live in this body for the rest of her life, she wouldn't mind "eating the young grass".
Thinking like this, Mu Fengqie fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until it was late in the morning. Jing Xinche had already returned from hunting when she woke up.
"You must have been too tired yesterday. Fortunately, it's still in time. Otherwise, yesterday's efforts would have been in vain."
Mu Fengqie quickly packed her things. After simply drinking two bowls of porridge, the two of them got their things ready and went to the market by cart.
Looking at the variety of food in the market, Mu Fengqie couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, food was the paramount necessity of the people. She just didn't know if the people here could appreciate the deliciousness of canned food.
They finally found an empty space and put down all their things. After finally finishing their work, when Mu Fengqie looked up, she saw Li Biquan's infatuated face.
Good grief! Was she like a piece of dog - skin plaster? She had actually chased them here!
Mu Fengqie didn't believe it was a coincidence. She had just met Li Biquan yesterday. How could it be such a coincidence to meet her here again today? Li Biquan's intention was as clear as day.
Li Biquan looked at Jing Xinche shyly, not caring about Mu Fengqie beside him at all. "Brother Jing, what a coincidence! We meet again."
"Coincidence? I think someone did it on purpose." Mu Fengqie couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Jing Xinche focused all his attention on Mu Fengqie and didn't even give Li Biquan a glance.
Li Biquan snorted. "Some women are just vixens. They only know how to seduce men!"
In Li Biquan's mind, only she was worthy of Jing Xinche. Just thinking that Jing Xinche had married Mu Fengqie made her angry.
It was really like a flower being stuck in cow dung.
Of course, the so - called "cow dung" at this moment was undoubtedly Mu Fengqie.
