Chapter 276 My Wife, Let's Have a Child
Qin Yi really wanted to answer him with "I don't want to".
But feeling the warm heartbeat in her palm, and his act of returning in the snow, and looking into those eyes that were looking at her, she ultimately couldn't even utter that affected, deliberate "I don't want to."
She murmured an "Mmm" and then leaned against him: "I've been thinking about you. You haven't come back for so long, and I've been thinking about you every day. I've been thinking about when the snow will stop, how much snow is left on the road, and when you'll be able to come back."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan's heart softened completely, as if he himself were the snow in the world outside, and she melted him into water.
He liked seeing her leaning against him like this, but then he remembered that he was cold, so he could only push her away: "I'll let you hold me later, I'm cold."
Just then, Lü Qiao knocked on the door: "My lord, the hot water has been delivered to the bathroom."
"Okay." Cheng Yan straightened his robes again, then touched Qin Yizhen's hair. "I'll go wash up first."
It's so cold outside, and he hasn't showered for several days in the camp. Now that he's back, he should take a good shower.
Qin Yizhen also felt that he was cold all over, so she nodded and told him to go quickly.
As he got up and started to leave, Qin Yizhen called over Lü Qiao: "See if anyone is still in the kitchen? Make a bowl of ginger soup for the Marquis and bring it over."
Lü Qiao nodded: "Yes, yes, the Marquis probably hasn't eaten yet. I saw the Marquis return just now, so I sent someone to wake Yin Niang up and ask her to cook some dishes. I've also started making ginger soup, which will be brought over in a little while."
"That's good. Oh, by the way, bring over a basin of charcoal and put a few hot water bottles in the bed in the dormitory. I'll be sleeping over there later."
Cheng Yan wasn't home, so Qin Yizhen slept on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the side study at night. The kang was heated, and her whole body felt warm.
But now that Cheng Yan is back, this place is no longer suitable.
He has plenty of energy and blood. The room already has an underfloor heating system, so if he sleeps on the kang (heated brick bed), he will sweat a bit and won't sleep comfortably.
After arranging all this, Qin Yizhen lingered on the kang (heated brick bed) for a while before finally putting on warm clothes and getting up.
Soon, a brazier with a blazing charcoal fire was brought over. Lü Qiao tidied up the quilts on the kang and put the kang table back on it. By the time Cheng Yan came out after taking a bath and changing his clothes, the prepared food had already been served.
Qin Yizhen made him drink a bowl of ginger soup before letting him sit down to eat. She then sat opposite him, drinking hot tea and watching him eat.
When did you eat?
"Noon."
"Noon?" Qin Yizhen frowned. "Is there no food at the camp?"
"No, it's not that. The camp had already prepared food for the spring when it warmed up after the winter snow." Cheng Yan answered seriously while eating. "I had lunch at noon and saw that the snow on the road had cleared a bit, so I thought I would come back."
Qin Yizhen frowned again: "So you left at noon and are only getting home now?"
What time is it now? It's midnight!
Cheng Yan was a little embarrassed: "When we were about halfway there, the snow on the road hadn't been cleared, so I led the people back."
It was a snowy day, and the snow on the road was very deep. He was also leading a horse, so he was walking very slowly. Moreover, he had already gone halfway, but he was in a hurry to turn back, so he had no choice but to continue on his way.
It was already late at night when he entered the city. If the gatekeepers hadn't seen him returning so late and thought something had happened, he probably wouldn't have been able to even get through the city gate.
He'll probably be summoned again tomorrow morning and get scolded again.
Qin Yi's face darkened: "So you came back with people? Are you crazy?"
He walked for so long in this freezing weather, he must have thought he was made of iron. No wonder he was so cold, and his clothes were ice-cold.
“I miss you,” Cheng Yan suddenly said. “We’ve already gone halfway, and the snow on this road takes at least five or six days to clear. We’ve only been walking for a short while, not long at all.”
Qin Yizhen was annoyed: "It'll be four or five hours in no time, won't it?"
Cheng Yan picked up a bean and gave it to her, silencing her: "Alright, alright, don't be angry. I've come back to reunite with you. Don't you miss me? Don't you want to see me?"
Qin Yizhen was given a bean and grumbled in annoyance, "I just rinsed my mouth."
"Rinse your mouth later." Cheng Yan picked up another bean sprout with his chopsticks and gave it to her. "This is delicious, have some."
In the freezing winter, there are few green vegetables. The greenhouse in the Pingxi Marquis's mansion is not large, and most of it is filled with flowers and plants, leaving only a small plot for growing vegetables. Therefore, these refreshing and delicious bean sprouts are extremely tasty.
In retrospect, it was all thanks to Fang Shixin.
She disliked and hated her, but she had to admit that she had indeed done a lot of things that benefited the country and its people, such as growing vegetables, sprouting beans, and raising mushrooms in winter, which were all ways for her to make money.
“It’s not that I don’t like you coming back.” Qin Yizhen pouted. “It’s just that I was really worried about you walking back in such cold weather. So, I’d rather you came back later.”
"I understand, I'll be more careful next time."
"And next time?"
"No, if the roads are still impassable next time it snows, I'll wait and come back later."
"That's more like it." Qin Yizhen got the answer she wanted and told him to hurry up and eat.
When it's cold, food gets cold easily. If you eat it slowly, it will be cold by the end.
After having their meal, the couple rinsed their mouths and washed their faces before returning to their room.
After the servants turned off the lights and left, Cheng Yan pressed the person down onto the bed and kissed them incessantly.
The two had been inseparable for a while, but now that they had been apart for ten days, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and they were naturally extra affectionate.
Are you feeling better?
"Huh?" Qin Yizhen was confused and didn't understand why he was asking these questions at this time.
"Mr. Hu said you're feeling better? Are you still taking your medicine?"
medicine?
Qin Yizhen belatedly remembered this: "No... I'm not eating anymore, Mr. Hu said it's done."
After taking the medicine for a month, she did feel much healthier, her complexion became rosier, and she felt less cold. If the medicine hadn't been so bitter, she would have flattered Mr. Hu by calling him a "miracle doctor."
"I'm not eating either." Cheng Yan gently bit her slightly red earlobe, his voice a little muffled, "Wife, let's have a child."
While he was trapped in the camp by the heavy snow these days, he also thought about this question. He always thought that he could stay with her for life and never be separated, but in reality, just one heavy snowfall could trap him and prevent him from returning to her side.
She was all alone at home, hoping and waiting for him to come back.
It would be really nice if she had a child to keep her company.
Therefore, he stopped taking those pills during his time at the camp.
"What?" Qin Yizhen was already dazed from his kisses, and he spoke unclearly, so she couldn't quite hear him.
"Let's have a baby..."
