"We've already sent a message to our master. Someone will come to pick us up soon." Hong Yi led his men in, greeted the waiter, and then followed him to a secluded room in the backyard.
"Sir, if you have any business, you can just come to me."
"Go and prepare some food for us. Then find a medical expert among our men. We have an injured man here."
The waiter glanced at Tule Haojia but asked nothing. He just nodded and left. Although they were all their master's men, there were ranks among them.
"Qier, Tule Haojia has been rescued. He's now in an inn outside the capital. Where shall we arrange him?" Jing Xinche asked Mu Fengqie, who was practicing calligraphy.
"Tule Haojia is back? How's the situation on their side?" Mu Fengqie stopped writing and asked. She'd recently taken a fancy to calligraphy, always feeling that her handwriting wasn't good-looking.
"Hong Yi wrote that Tule Haojia is seriously injured and has been in a coma. He still hasn't woken up." This Hong Yi was getting worse at handling things. What did Tule Haojia's business have to do with him? He even went into such details. If he hadn't said so and Qier found out later, he'd surely be in big trouble.
Mu Fengqie frowned after hearing Jing Xinche's words. "I want to go and see him." She wouldn't be at ease until she saw him with her own eyes.
Jing Xinche looked at Mu Fengqie jealously. "Qier, I have doctors. You don't need to go there in person. Besides, since he's been rescued, we surely won't let anything happen to him."
"No, I'm still not at ease, Ache." Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xinche with bright eyes.
In the end, Jing Xinche was defeated by Mu Fengqie's look. Who could withstand this? Anyway, he couldn't. But he should surely get some reward, right?
"Cough... Qier, I can take you there, but shouldn't you show some appreciation?" As he said this, he pointed at his lips. The meaning couldn't be clearer.
As long as you come and kiss me, I'll take you there. Mu Fengqie surely understood what Jing Xinche meant. How come she hadn't noticed before that Jing Xinche had a merchant's temperament? He really wouldn't let himself suffer the slightest loss.
Mu Fengqie had no choice but to get up and kiss his lips. She originally intended to just peck and leave, but Jing Xinche reached out and grabbed the back of her head. Since the prey had come to him on its own, it would be stupid not to act.
Mu Fengqie stared at Jing Xinche with wide eyes. Seeing the look of entitlement in his eyes, she smiled, closed her eyes, and devoted herself whole - heartedly to the kiss.
Seeing Mu Fengqie's reaction, Jing Xinche was overjoyed. In his joy, he held Mu Fengqie and kissed her for a long time. When they separated, Mu Fengqie was out of breath, and her lips were as swollen as a sausage.
"It's all your fault. How can I go out like this?" Mu Fengqie reached out and touched her swollen lips. She felt that Jing Xinche had almost kissed the skin off her lips.
"I couldn't help myself. Besides, it's not entirely my fault. It's just that Qier, your charm is irresistible to me." As Jing Xinche said this, he took out a box of Bingqing Yujiji Ointment from his sleeve and gently applied it to Mu Fengqie's lips.
Mu Fengqie glared at him discontentedly. Who knew that this look directly... affected Jing Xinche.
"Qier, don't look at me like this, or I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself." Jing Xinche hurriedly averted his gaze. This was simply a sweet torture.
"So it's my fault, right?" Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xinche angrily. This guy had taken advantage and was still acting innocent.
"Qier, I love you so much." Jing Xinche lay on Mu Fengqie's shoulder, breathing in the fragrance of her body. He felt that his heart was completely filled. It was just a pity that for now, he could only touch but not fully possess.
"You've hugged and kissed me. Shouldn't you start preparing to take me to see Tule Haojia?" Mu Fengqie slapped away Jing Xinche's wandering hand on her body.
"It's too late today. I'll take you there tomorrow. Now let's go back and rest." It was already night. How could he let this delay his chance to hold his wife and sleep?
Before Mu Fengqie could react, Jing Xinche had picked her up. "Jing Xinche, you're such a cheat!" He didn't keep his promise. He'd promised to take her to see Tule Haojia.
"I've never heard of such a thing as martial virtue. Isn't there only female virtue? Qier, what is this martial virtue? Tell me about it." Jing Xinche seriously asked Mu Fengqie this question. But Mu Fengqie had no intention of answering him now.
All she wanted now was to get off Jing Xinche's body.
Their voices gradually faded away. It was another peaceful and happy day.
The next day, when Mu Fengqie woke up, Jing Xinche was still sleeping. Looking at Jing Xinche's sleeping face, Mu Fengqie had to admit that this man was really handsome, making people can't help but...
But even so, she couldn't forgive what he'd done last night. Mu Fengqie blushed and kicked the sleeping Jing Xinche out of the bed with one foot.
"Thud—"
Jing Xinche had been sleeping soundly in Mu Fengqie's arms when he was suddenly kicked awake.
"Bold! Who..." How dare someone kick him? Before Jing Xinche could finish his sentence, he saw Mu Fengqie sitting on the bed, looking at him leisurely.
He looked at Mu Fengqie's exposed foot and then at his own situation. He instantly understood what was going on.
"So what if I kicked you? Do you have a problem?" Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xinche and said.
"How could I have a problem? Are you still angry, Qier? Do you want to kick me a few more times? Or hit me a few times?" Jing Xinche looked at Mu Fengqie with a big smile.
He'd indeed gone a bit too far last night. But when he thought about it, if he could have such nights or even something more in the future, he'd be willing to be kicked every morning.
Mu Fengqie could tell what Jing Xinche was thinking just from his expression. This pervert! "I'm telling you, don't even think about what happened last night. It'll never happen again!"
"Qier, I didn't even say what I was thinking. How do you know? Could it be that you were thinking about it too?" Jing Xinche ignored Mu Fengqie's warning and started throwing a tantrum.
Joke. He'd learned a lot of these things from those erotic picture books. He'd just tried it last night and unexpectedly succeeded. In the future, he must work harder to win Qier over as soon as possible.
"Hurry up and get ready. If I still can't see Tule Haojia today, Jing Xinche, you're dead!" After Mu Fengqie said this, she kicked Jing Xinche out of the room without even giving him his clothes.
Jing Xinche was only wearing his inner robe...
