NOVEL NEXT Chapter 54
Chapter 54, Not Leaving Again? I Suspect Honey Is Teasing Me!
“Sister Zi, Sister Zi, I heard from the girl in front, did sir come?”
“I still have questions to ask him!”
“Huh? Where’s sir?”
Nongyu, who received the news from somewhere, hurriedly ran in while lifting her skirt.
After looking around, she found that besides Sister Zi standing with her back to her near the window, there was no sign of Li Mo inside.
Nongyu’s attention then fell on Sister Zi. Walking towards her, she curiously asked, “Sister Zi sister, what did sir come to you for? Where is he?”
Sister Zi’s figure moved slightly, and she looked down at her chest. In a weak tone, she said, “He’s gone.”
When Nongyu saw her like this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face. She pursed her lips and said, “Well, I haven’t learned how to use the abacus yet. I’ll ask him when he comes tomorrow.”
Sister Zi’s voice sounded again, “He won’t come tomorrow.”
Nongyu was taken aback and said, “Then we’ll wait for him the day after tomorrow.”
Sister Zi raised her head, her long purple hair swaying gently in the wind. She hugged the abacus tightly to her chest.
Looking ahead, her eyes were unfocused. Her charming face at this moment seemed dim and lifeless. She seemed to have lost her strength, leaning weakly against the window. Her lips were pale, making her look as if she had been seriously ill.
Nongyu, who had just walked to her side and saw her like this, was startled. She quickly supported her and asked concernedly, “Sister Zi sister, what’s wrong with you? Why… why are you crying?”
Sister Zi’s lips trembled a few times, and with a gentle tone and a sad expression, she said, “He… he’s gone… He will never come back.”
A brand new carriage flew in the night. Li Mo did not stay long at Purple Orchid Pavilion. When he said he was leaving Xinzhen and Han Empire, Sister Zi did not try to persuade him to stay. However, from her expression at the time, Li Mo already knew Sister Zi’s state of mind.
On the way, Li Mo was considering whether to go to Sabei to herd sheep with his wife or bathe in the sun on the shore of Sanghai.
The speed of the carriage was much faster than his usual walk home. In just over ten minutes, he had already reached the small road leading home.
The path was quite narrow, with ponds on both sides. Li Mo stopped the carriage, tied the horse to a tree inside, and walked back home. He did not see the scene of Jing Ni packing up and waiting for him as he had expected. Instead, he “saw” Jing Ni busy in the kitchen.
“Husband is back? Are you hungry? The porridge is ready, let me serve you a bowl, you rest first.”
Jing Ni poked her head out of the kitchen, revealing the familiar smile of Li Mo. The Li Mo in the yard was completely stunned.
“Weren’t we supposed to leave?”
Jing Ni walked into the yard with two bowls of hot porridge, handed one to Li Mo, and smiled, “We’re not leaving, this place is quite nice.”
Li Mo: “…”
I bought a carriage, quit my job, and you say we’re not leaving?
If it were not for the unique body fragrance of the Jing Ni that told him that this was indeed his wife, Li Mo would have wondered if someone was impersonating her!
At this moment, the Jing Ni looked no different from usual. The smile at the corner of her mouth was still sweet, and the look in her eyes was just as affectionate. There was no trace of the lost and confused look from before.
“Okay, okay, I won’t leave… then I won’t leave.”
What else could Li Mo say? His own wife, treat her well!
The north of the river cannot herd sheep, and the shore of Sanghai cannot sunbathe.
“Honey, is there something bothering you today?”
The couple sat in the courtyard, blowing the cool night breeze, savoring the sweetness of the millet porridge.
Li Mo knew that his wife must have encountered something today, otherwise she wouldn’t be like before. Is it because she noticed that he had been getting too close to Sister Zi recently?
Impossible!
The wife knows that Sister Zi is clean. If he had really turned to Sister Zi, she wouldn’t mind. It’s not that the wife is unwilling now, but he himself is unwilling because he doesn’t want to involve his wife in danger.
The wife is never one to say one thing and mean another, let alone lie. When she lies, she blushes. Last time when he asked her if she still wanted it, she said she didn’t. But her face turned red right after saying it!
The Jing Ni paused her sip of porridge and slowly took the spoon out of her small mouth. Holding the bowl, her facial expression gradually solidified.
It was a long time before she looked up, staring at Li Mo intently and slowly said, “Husband, can you please not ask me?”
“No matter what happens, you just need to know that I love you, I won’t harm you, and I will never leave you, okay?”
