Chapter 570 Extra Thank You Banquet (37)
Xie Zhiyan knew better than anyone why Jiang Wantang suddenly became so "arrogant".
In fact, in his opinion, it can't be considered as arrogance.
In the eyes of others, Jiang Wantang is willful and spoiled, but only Xie Zhiyan knows that every time she acts willfully and mischievously, she is trying to get closer to him.
She is opening her heart to herself little by little...
His little fox, young and lonely, without anyone to rely on, was also harmed by the beasts in the Jiang Mansion...
She longs for love, but also questions it.
There is a high ice wall in my heart. I yearn for the warmth of the world and the bright sunshine, but I am afraid to get close to it. Once I touch it, I will immediately withdraw.
After moving away, I couldn't help but look back at that warmth, and couldn't help wanting to get closer again, again and again, over and over again...
I just want to confirm whether this ray of sunshine and this warmth really belong to her.
When a person who has never felt loved is loved for the first time, what she subconsciously feels is not happiness and joy, but fear and anxiety.
She was at a loss, she was panicking, so she tried again and again, carefully, repeatedly confirming...
Therefore, Xie Zhiyan never thought that she was acting, but felt distressed.
I feel sorry for her past, and I feel sorry for her being so cautious even when trying to get close to him...
Therefore, every time Jiang Wantang took half a step forward, he would be more proactive in moving towards her, telling her with his actions that he was there and he would always be there.
However, Zhao Yi’s pupils widened at this moment:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ ???
He looked at the man in front of him, who should have been the most aloof and reserved, but now he was staring at the girl intently, the tenderness and heartache in his eyes almost overflowing...
Zhao Yi was shocked...
Almost subconsciously, he reached out and touched Xie Zhiyan's forehead, but the latter avoided it in disgust.
Zhao Yi grabbed Xie Zhiyan's hand as he was about to pour tea, and leaned closer with an exaggerated look: "Ah Yan, even if you are delirious with fever, you can't say such nonsense!"
"Brother, if you are possessed by a demon, just blink..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Zhiyan actually blinked——!!!
Zhao Yi was shocked and thought to himself, "As expected," and hurried forward to exorcise the evil spirit for him.
Xie Zhiyan brushed him away nonchalantly, his eyes still following Jiang Wantang who was picking flowers in the distance.
Zhao Yi followed his gaze and saw Jiang Wantang standing on tiptoe to reach the high tree. Her scarlet shawl fluttered in the wind, revealing the blood-red jade bracelet on her wrist.
Zhao Yi's pupils widened again. Wasn't that the blood jade bracelet, the heirloom of the Yong'an Marquisate?!
Before she could react, Xie Zhiyan beside her stood up. Before leaving, he took away the plate of peach blossom cakes that Jiang Wantang loved. "Let's stop here today. I'll go to Xunhuan Tower to have a drink with you another day."
After saying this, the man walked out of the pavilion.
Zhao Yi hurriedly stood up and asked, "Hey! The game isn't over yet, what are you doing?"
Xie Zhiyan waved his hand without even turning back: "Go pick some flowers for my wife."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yi witnessed him walking up to Jiang Wantang, reaching out to pick a branch of the crabapple tree in full bloom for her, with a gentle smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Zhao Yi stood dumbfounded in the pavilion, looking at someone with a worthless smile. He felt it was unbearable to watch, and even "tsk" several times before shaking his head and leaving.
Men after marriage are so scary!
......
Xie Zhiyan not only doted on Jiang Wantang with all kinds of beautiful things, he also took her on horseback rides in the suburbs, on spring outings in a painted boat, and to the theater to listen to music...
He took her to indulge in the mountains and rivers, taught her to be wanton and free...
He took good care of the weathered crabapple flower again.
So, the little white rabbit gradually shed its obedient appearance and revealed its fox tail bit by bit.
The relationship between the two became closer and more tacit.
Xie Zhiyan also successfully slept on the couch instead of sleeping on the floor.
At first, Jiang Wantang just felt that she woke up on the floor every day. In order not to make herself feel wronged, she simply let Xie Zhiyan sleep directly on the bed.
Anyway, the bed was big enough, so she used pillows to divide the bed into two parts, and she was domineering and didn't allow Xie Zhiyan to cross the line. But she woke up in Xie Zhiyan's arms every day.
Over time, she was too lazy to even put down a pillow.
That day, the two of them woke up in the morning. After Jiang Wantang finished dressing up, she turned around and saw Xie Zhiyan in a crimson Dali Temple official robe, sitting meticulously on a golden nanmu chair, with his legs casually crossed, his posture dignified and lazy.
The corners of his eyes raised slightly, full of teasing, and he stared at her intently.
The morning light filtered through the gauze window, casting dark rays of varying shades on his crimson and purple official robe.
When Jiang Wantang turned around, the pearl hairpin in her hair swayed. Seeing the man behind her, she was startled and said, "You... why are you looking at me like that for no reason?"
Xie Zhiyan curled his lips and said with a half-smile: "This is the third time..."
"What do you mean the third time?" Jiang Wantang asked suspiciously.
Xie Zhiyan raised his lips in a devilish arc, his eyes still fixed on her: "Tangtang, you kicked me again last night while I was asleep..."
"Tangtang, what dissatisfaction do you have with your husband?"
Jiang Wantang coughed lightly a few times to hide his guilty conscience.
She laughed secretly in her heart, but didn't show it on her face. However, her eyes unconsciously revealed a sly smile: "I sleep very well and won't move around. You must be dreaming."
She thought to herself: Who made this bastard Xie Zhiyan always like to tease her for fun?
Not only did she kick him, she also pinched his face...
Xie Zhiyan stared at her for a moment, then suddenly tilted his head and laughed out loud, the arc at the end of his eyes slightly raised with a hint of doting: "Since Tangtang said I was dreaming, then I am dreaming."
"It's just that in this dream, my face still hurts..."
Jiang Wantang said calmly, "It must have been a mosquito bite."
"Oh, really?" Xie Zhiyan was skeptical, a mischievous smile flashing across his eyes, "It seems to be a rather large mosquito..."
Jiang Wantang avoided the topic guiltily: "I'm hungry. I'm going to have breakfast first."
The smile in Xie Zhiyan's eyes deepened. He stood up, took her hand, and they went to the yard to have breakfast together.
The stone table was filled with Jiang Wantang's favorites, including chicken porridge, blood bird's nest soup, fresh meat wontons... and all kinds of exquisite snacks.
Xie Zhiyan served her soup and dishes as usual. Looking at Jiang Wantang eating like a little hamster, he thought she was so adorable.
He unconsciously raised the corners of his lips and watched Jiang Wantang pick up a piece of peach blossom pastry. After eating it, there were still crumbs on the corners of her mouth. He asked her with an ambiguous smile: "Is it delicious?"
Jiang Wantang nodded, picked up a piece generously, and handed it to him: "Would you like to try it?"
