Chapter 276: Once You Miss This Opportunity, It’s Gone

Lin Xun left Bai Luoxue’s courtyard.

If he didn’t leave now, a man and a woman alone in a room, the atmosphere was becoming increasingly subtle.

Plus, Bai Luoxue seemed exceptionally charming tonight, with even the air filled with a peach blossom-like scent.

But it was clearly winter.

Lin Xun couldn’t guarantee he could remain unmoved by such temptation.

To avoid any accidents, Lin Xun hurriedly escaped and took a breath of the street air to cool down.

Truth be told.

Ever since Bai Luoxue moved across from Lin Xun.

Over the past two months of back-and-forth between Lin Xun and Bai Luoxue, Lin Xun felt his willpower had risen to a new level!

But Lin Xun was still a bit worried.

Worried if one day he really would…

“No! I have to be careful from now on. I also need to find a way to see if I can send Bai Luoxue back. Otherwise, if you often walk by the riverside, how can you not get your shoes wet?”

Lin Xun lay on the bed, thinking seriously; he had just taken a bath to remove the scent lingering from Bai Luoxue’s courtyard.

“Brother Lin, we’re back.”

Just as Lin Xun was still trying to figure things out, Yaya’s voice came from the courtyard.

At this moment, Lin Xun didn’t want to think about anything else and quickly lay on the bed, playing dead.

After his bath, Lin Xun had also drunk some wine, intentionally getting some wine Qi on him.

This way, when Qinger entered the room and saw him dead asleep on the bed, no matter how much Life Qi she had tonight, she wouldn’t kick him out of bed.

Then, once Qinger got into bed, he could sneakily do “bad things” while “half-asleep” and “dazed.”

“I am simply a Genius!”

Feeling his plan was perfect, Lin Xun continued to play dead peacefully on the bed.

Soon, Lin Xun heard voices from the courtyard again.

“Sister Qinger, hasn’t Brother Lin come back yet?” Yaya asked.

“He should be back.” Jiang Qingshang stroked Yaya’s head. “The courtyard gate is open.”

“Then why isn’t there any sound from Brother Lin?”

“Brother Lin must have drunk a lot of wine again and fallen asleep.” Jiang Qingshang picked up Yaya. “Come, let’s go take a bath first.”

“Mm-hmm, bath time, bath time! Yaya wants to take a bath with Sister Qinger.” Yaya said happily.

Playing dead on the bed, Lin Xun felt a bit of regret.

If he had pretended to be slightly tipsy, could he have bathed with Qinger?

But Lin Xun quickly shook his head, feeling it was impossible.

With so many things happening at Luo Lake tonight, forget entering the bathroom, Qinger might even pour cold water on him.

Laying there peacefully for a full half a double-hour (one hour), Lin Xun vaguely heard the sound of Qinger and Yaya saying goodnight.

However, as he lay there, aided by the slight buzz from the wine, Lin Xun actually fell asleep.

Having just finished her bath, Jiang Qingshang put on her nightgown and walked toward the room.

But as Jiang Qingshang passed the small fish tank in the courtyard, she leaned over to look inside.

Why did these goldfish feel two sizes fatter than the ones her husband had given her before?

Was it her imagination?

Or was this a special breed of goldfish? Did they grow quite large?

Subconsciously, Jiang Qingshang recalled that Sister Wangxing was also carrying a few goldfish today, and they looked extremely familiar.

Could it be?

Jiang Qingshang frowned slightly.

A bold thought formed in her mind.

“Impossible, impossible. Husband has the desire but not the guts; he wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Qingshang gently pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom quietly.

Lying on the bed was the man who was meant to be with her for lifetimes.

“You only know how to make me Life Qi.”

Smoothing her nightgown, Jiang Qingshang sat down beside Lin Xun.

The young girl pouted and gently pinched this Big Pig Trotter’s nose.

The Big Pig Trotter grunted twice, gently pulled his wife’s small hand, and continued to sleep while holding it.

“Silly.”

Seeing Lin Xun’s sleeping face, Jiang Qingshang leaned down slightly and gave him a light peck on the corner of his mouth. She took off her Embroidered Shoes and the Tabi Socks covering her fair, tender feet, then lay down beside her husband.

For the young girl, she was indeed a bit Life Qi tonight and really wanted to ignore this Big Pig Trotter, leaving him out in the cold.

But now, looking at him sleeping soundly, her heart softened again.

Jiang Qingshang even began to wonder if she was being too strict and harsh with her husband.

To carry on the family line, even ordinary commoners would take a Secondary Wife if they had the means to expand their family lineage.

But this Big Pig Trotter had never taken a concubine, only worrying that she wouldn’t like it or wouldn’t be willing.

“So silly.”

Resting her head on her husband’s chest like a little cat, Jiang Qingshang’s eyes curved slightly as she rubbed against Lin Xun’s chest.

“If you want to take a concubine, just say so. I’m not some petty person.”

Listening to Lin Xun’s steady breathing as he slept, Jiang Qingshang seemed to be talking to him, but it was more like she was talking to herself.

“If you insist, it’s not like I can’t let you take one concubine.”

Jiang Qingshang turned over, her body as soft as water, lying on top of Lin Xun.

Beneath the nightgown, the girl stretched her feet, her shapely, long legs kicking up and down against Lin Xun’s legs. Her jade-like fingers reached out, the soft tip of her finger gently pressing against the tip of Lin Xun’s nose.

As if she wanted to press Lin Xun’s nose into a little pig nose.

As she pressed, the pig-nosed husband in front of her made the girl smile radiantly.

“Who told you to be so cowardly? I’ve said Husband can take a concubine, but it’s always Husband who refuses.

I’m not a very persistent person, you know. Since Husband refused, then forget it.

Husband, I’ll give you one more chance. If you want to take a concubine, just nod your head, and I’m willing to welcome a sister into the family.

However, if Husband doesn’t show any sign this time, then once you miss this opportunity, it’s gone.

I’ll count to three.”

“Three,” Jiang Qingshang looked at her husband with a smile. “Two.”

At that moment, Lin Xun felt his nose itch and wanted to wiggle it up and down.

But Jiang Qingshang immediately pulled Lin Xun’s head into her chest, making it impossible for him to wiggle it.

“One.”

After finishing the three numbers, Jiang Qingshang happily kissed Lin Xun’s forehead. “Husband, I am very sensible; it’s Husband who doesn’t want to take a concubine.”

Slipping into the covers and leaning against Lin Xun’s shoulder, smelling the scent of the Big Pig Trotter, Jiang Qingshang was satisfied.

However, why did her knee seem to touch something fluffy?

Reaching into the covers to pull out the fluffy object, she found it was a Lion Plushie.

Jiang Qingshang felt even sweeter inside because this Lion Plushie was a gift from her husband.

But…

As Jiang Qingshang lay in Lin Xun’s arms playing with the plushie, her brow furrowed slightly.

“Why… does the style of this Lion Plushie seem a bit different from the one Husband gave me before?”
