Chapter Index

    *Smack, smack, smack.*

    In his sleep, Lin Xun rolled over onto his side, his mouth smacking a few times as he reached out to pull someone into his embrace.

    Usually at this time, Lin Xun would catch an armful.

    But this time, Lin Xun grabbed nothing but air.

    Perhaps the winter sun was too dazzling, or perhaps it was because he hadn’t embraced his soft and smooth wife, but Lin Xun groggily opened his eyes.

    As he opened his eyes, Lin Xun’s palm was still patting the space beside him.

    When Lin Xun gradually woke up, he finally realized that his soft and smooth wife was truly gone.

    Subconsciously, Lin Xun thought Qinger had gone to cook breakfast.

    But feeling the winter temperature and the intensity of the winter sunlight, Lin Xun quickly realized something was wrong!

    With a salted fish flip, Lin Xun sat up from the bed.

    Looking out the window at the position of the winter sun, it was actually ten o’clock in the morning!

    During work days, Jiang Qingshang would wake up at six every day and wake Lin Xun at seven, serving him as he washed up and changed.

    On rest days, Jiang Qingshang would wake up at eight and wake Lin Xun at nine.

    In the nearly one year since they married, this routine had never been broken!

    Qinger didn’t wake him up today?

    What on earth happened?

    While Lin Xun was questioning this, he also noticed that the lion plushie he had bought for Qinger was gone.

    Suddenly, Lin Xun had a very bad feeling.

    Walking to the courtyard, Lin Xun hurriedly looked at the fish tank in the yard, only to find that the small goldfish he had caught back then were also gone.

    This is a big disaster!

    “Yaya, did Sister Qinger say anything last night—”

    Yaya was even more of a sleepyhead; if no one woke her up, Yaya could sleep the whole day.

    However, when Lin Xun hurriedly pushed open the door to Yaya’s small room to ask about last night, he found that Yaya was also gone.

    On Yaya’s small bed, a letter had been left behind.

    Without a word, Lin Xun hurriedly tore open the envelope.

    He pulled out the letter, which carried Qinger’s faint body fragrance.

    【Big Pig Trotter! Why are the small goldfish two sizes fatter, and why does the lion plushie have no whiskers! I clearly remember it had them! Big Pig Trotter! Can’t you even lie to me properly?

    Go die! I don’t care about you anymore! I’m running away from home with Yaya! Big Pig Trotter! Big Pig Trotter! Big Pig Trotter!】

    Qinger’s handwriting was originally elegant and small, like cute little ants.

    But now, appearing before Lin Xun’s eyes were bold characters full of anger.

    At the end of the paper, a large pig’s head was drawn.

    Holding the envelope left by Jiang Qingshang, Lin Xun sat in the courtyard, looking rather melancholy.

    In an instant, Lin Xun felt like his wife had left in a fit of rage, taking the child and all the gifts he had given her back to her parents’ home.

    Lin Xun wiped his face.

    He wasn’t worried that Qinger would go very far in her anger.

    If he guessed correctly, Qinger should be staying at the Female City Lord’s house with Yaya.

    Back when he and Qinger weren’t married yet, and hadn’t even confirmed their relationship, he had been pestered by a rich woman.

    He really hadn’t done anything back then, but Qinger still misunderstood, and she “ran away from home” in a fit of rage.

    Lin Xun had been incredibly anxious, and just as he was thinking about whether to flip Luo City upside down to find her, a maid from the City Lord’s Manor informed him that Qinger was staying with the City Lord. Only then did Lin Xun breathe a sigh of relief.

    After that, many times when Qinger was too angry, she would run to the City Lord’s Manor.

    However, although he didn’t need to worry about Qinger’s safety, she was definitely quite angry this time.

    Should he go to the City Lord’s Manor to find Qinger now?

    Based on his experience, Qinger was definitely in the heat of her anger right now and wouldn’t see him.

    He had to wait a few days. Once Qinger’s anger subsided a bit in a few days, he would go pick her up.

    Yes, exactly, that’s what he’d do.

    He would stay up late for the next few days to make himself look a bit haggard, so that when others saw him, they would get a sense of “losing interest in food and drink because his wife and daughter ran away.”

    Only…

    He looked up at the sky.

    He would have to order takeout again for the next few days.

    Wait?

    Maybe he didn’t need to eat takeout. Should he subtly hint to Nong Qin to cook a bit more when she makes dinner later?

    Zilin Holy Land, Saintess Peak.

    Jiang Qingshang huffed as she hugged the little lion in her arms, looking at the several goldfish that were two sizes fatter in the glazed fish tank.

    At this moment, Jiang Qingshang had already changed back to her original form.

    Compared to Jiang Qing, Jiang Qingshang was several levels higher in both looks and figure.

    Jiang Yuerou’s second appearance was also much inferior to her actual beauty.

    After all, if one’s identity and looks were too outstanding while training in the mortal world, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

    Outside the courtyard, Yaya was happily chasing a small butterfly.

    Actually, Yaya didn’t know what was going on.

    Anyway, when she woke up, she was on this beautiful mountain peak. Sister Qinger said she wanted to give Brother Lin some punishment.

    Though Yaya didn’t know what the punishment was,

    She didn’t have to go to class, so Yaya was very happy~

    “Sigh, you really…”

    Sitting beside the young woman, Qu Ke looked helplessly at the peerless beauty next to her.

    With Jiang Qingshang’s explanation, Qu Ke also knew what had happened.

    As for Lin Pei writing a poem for Wang Xing, this silly girl beside her had actually been close to forgiving him.

    But then the gifts had completely changed, and it was very likely the original gifts had been given to someone else.

    Then this young woman had run to her manor with teary eyes, running away from home once again.

    Looking at the girl staring blankly at the fish tank, Qu Ke gave a soft sigh: “You say you don’t like this plushie and these fish, yet didn’t you bring them along?”

    “I don’t like them!” Jiang Qingshang pouted and turned her head away.

    “Fine then, I’ll go turn these fish into a dish, and this lion plushie is quite nice, I’ll take it.” Qu Ke made a move to take the fish tank and the plushie in Jiang Qingshang’s arms.

    “No!”

    Jiang Qingshang reached out to protect them.

    They were clearly the most ordinary mortal items, yet for the young woman, she was as nervous as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.

    Qu Ke smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you didn’t like them?”

    “That… that…” Jiang Qingshang slightly lowered her gaze, her cheeks faintly red, her voice soft and sweet, “They were still gifts from that Big Pig Trotter…”

    “You… forget it, forget it.” Looking at her best friend, Qu Ke said helplessly, “Do you want me to send someone to tell Lin Pei that you’re staying at my place? Just like before?”

    “No! I want that big idiot to worry!” Jiang Qingshang lifted her fair little chin.

    “You say that, but every time you run away from home, don’t you always ask me to notify Lin Pei that you’re with me, for fear that he’ll worry?”

    “I’m not telling him this time!” Jiang Qingshang said with a firm tone.

    “Alright then, I’ll go back and sleep for a while.” Qu Ke didn’t persist; having been pulled up in the middle of the night by Jiang Qingshang to listen to her grievances, she wanted to go back for a nap.

    However, just as Qu Ke had taken a couple of steps, she felt her skirt being lightly pulled.

    “Um…”

    The graceful young woman hugging the lion plushie lowered her head and gently pulled Qu Ke’s skirt.

    “If… if you insist on telling him, Xiao Ke… it’s… it’s not impossible…”
