Chapter 211: Isn’t This Nonsense?

“Husband, why is there a scent of egg drop porridge on your body?”

Jiang Qingshang’s delicate, upturned nose sniffed lightly at Lin Xun’s body.

The young girl’s eyes curved into crescents, and that beautiful smile made Lin Xun feel so panicked that he wanted to crawl under the large rock in the courtyard.

“Um, Qinger, I…”

At this moment, countless excuses popped into Lin Xun’s mind.

For instance, Squire Fang’s family took in an eighteenth concubine and insisted he go for a meal, and that egg drop porridge was truly delicious.

Or perhaps Scholar Wang’s seventh concubine gave birth to a baby girl and insisted he go to share in the joy.

But!

At this moment, Lin Xun had an incredibly strong premonition!

If he didn’t tell the truth, he might really end up buried under that rock, with Qinger sitting beside it every day telling him stories.

But if he did tell the truth! Wouldn’t he be finished?

He still remembered back when he and Qinger weren’t married yet, they were walking down the street together. At a corner, a young girl accidentally bumped into his arms; Qinger had pouted her little mouth and didn’t speak to him for half an hour.

Calm down! Calm down! I can do this!

At a time like this, I absolutely cannot panic!

“Qinger.” Lin Xun took Jiang Qingshang’s smooth, tender hand and wrapped his other arm around her slender waist, pulling the fragrant and soft Qinger into his embrace. “When did Qinger get back?”

“Half an incense stick’s time ago.” Leaning in Lin Xun’s arms, Jiang Qingshang had already opened her small mouth, placing her pearly teeth against Lin Xun’s neck.

Feeling Qinger’s teeth, Lin Xun panicked a bit more.

“Qinger.” Lin Xun held Jiang Qingshang even tighter, as if afraid she would suddenly run away. “If I tell the truth, will Qinger be angry?”

“Why would I be angry?” Jiang Qingshang said softly. “No matter what Husband does, Qinger will always forgive you.”

“Then, actually…” Lin Xun organized his words in his mind. “Actually, at first, my stomach really did hurt. After it felt better, I was waiting in the courtyard for you to return, but…”

“But what?” Jiang Qingshang’s warm, fragrant breath hit Lin Xun’s neck.

“But, Miss Bai from the Tofu Shop across the way came over. Miss Bai said she had cooked a pot of egg drop porridge and asked me to go to her courtyard to eat some, to repay my kindness for saving her from the water back then—hiss! Wait, Qinger, didn’t you say you wouldn’t be angry? It hurts… Qinger…”

As soon as Lin Xun finished speaking, Jiang Qingshang bit down on his neck.

In his pain, Lin Xun could only hold the Qinger in his arms even tighter, letting her fragrant, soft body heal his pain.

“Hmph, I’m not angry!” Lifting her head, Jiang Qingshang said softly, but right after finishing her sentence, she bit him again.

In truth, Jiang Qingshang had known from the start about Bai Luoxue wanting to cook porridge for her husband, and she knew Bai Luoxue was expressing her gratitude.

In Jiang Qingshang’s heart, she had actually given her tacit permission for her husband to go there and have porridge.

Jiang Qingshang also knew that Bai Luoxue was different from other women; she didn’t even know what liking someone was, so it was impossible for her to fall for her husband.

Furthermore, her target was that Lin Xun; other than Lin Xun, she wouldn’t have any involvement with any other man.

So even without asking, Jiang Qingshang knew her husband really just went to her courtyard to drink porridge and nothing else would happen.

Regarding this, Jiang Qingshang had already prepared to turn a blind eye.

However, seeing her husband return and thinking about how he had just eaten egg drop porridge made by another woman…

Jiang Qingshang, who thought she could endure it, ultimately felt a tightness in her chest and bit his neck.

“Big idiot! Big idiot! Big idiot!”

Jiang Qingshang kept biting Lin Xun’s neck over and over.

Lin Xun could only hold onto Jiang Qingshang.

Being bitten by Qinger was a minor thing; if Qinger got angry and ran away, that would be the real trouble.

After half an incense stick’s time, six or seven small teeth marks had been left on Lin Xun’s neck.

“Idiot. You clearly were bitten by me, yet you didn’t even know to push me away.”

Looking at the teeth marks on Lin Xun’s neck, the girl’s jealousy subsided slightly as she rested her head on Lin Xun’s shoulder.

“I won’t push you away.” Lin Xun gave Jiang Qingshang’s forehead a light kiss. “I will never push you away in this lifetime.”

“All you know is sweet talk.”

Jiang Qingshang opened her mouth to bite again, but just as Lin Xun prepared himself, he found that his neck didn’t hurt at all.

Lin Xun was overjoyed because he knew Qinger couldn’t bear to bite him anymore; at least half of her anger had dissipated.

Lin Xun quickly picked up his wife in a princess carry, walked into the courtyard, and sat on a stone stool, letting Qinger sit in his lap. “Rest assured, Qinger, Miss Bai and I are completely innocent!”

“Hmph, this wife didn’t doubt Husband.”

Sitting on Lin Xun’s lap and leaning in his embrace, the young girl turned her head away tsundere-ly.

“This wife is not some jealous woman. If Husband likes her and Miss Bai is willing, at most Husband can just take her as a concubine.”

“No!” Lin Xun glanced at the rock in the courtyard. “Qinger, don’t say such things anymore, or I’ll get angry!”

Jiang Qingshang looked up from Lin Xun’s embrace and saw Lin Xun’s serious gaze; he seemed truly a bit angry.

“Fine, then this wife won’t say it anymore.” Jiang Qingshang gave Lin Xun a light peck on the lips, ripples of joy spreading in her heart. “Whether Husband takes a concubine or not, Qinger will listen to Husband.”

“But I only listen to Qinger.” Lin Xun smiled as he toyed with his wife’s small hand. If he actually took Qinger’s words seriously, he probably wouldn’t survive the night.

Feeling that Qinger’s anger had completely vanished, Lin Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xun also made a silent resolution. Since he would definitely meet Bai Luoxue again to help train her emotions, he absolutely must not be found out.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain.

Could he say, ‘Actually, I am the Demonic Seed of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, and I’m helping the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect experience the joys and sorrows of life’?

Isn’t this nonsense?

“Husband.”

“Hmm?”

“Is the egg drop porridge this wife makes delicious, or is the one Miss Bai makes delicious?”

“Does that even need asking?” This was a total freebie question; Lin Xun answered instantly, “Of course the one Qinger makes is more delicious!”

“Then, tonight this wife will make egg drop porridge for Husband to eat, alright?”

“…” At the thought of egg drop porridge for dinner again, Lin Xun’s stomach churned, but in the end, he still nodded. “Whatever Qinger makes, I love to eat!”

And so, for dinner that day, Yaya kept her head down eating. When Yaya looked up to get another bowl, she saw Sister Jiang sitting in Brother Lin’s lap, feeding Brother Lin egg drop porridge spoonful by spoonful.

However, Yaya was a bit confused.

Brother Lin clearly had a smile on his face, but why did he always seem to be in such pain?
