Chapter 314: The Clumsy Ms. Farmer
The only one who could truly affect his emotions was none other than Shangguan Ning. In fact, her influence had already broken through his willpower, making him helpless in front of her.
Because he cared about Shangguan Ning too much to move his heart away from her.
“Ning, you must be careful in the coming days and make sure Lu is with you when you are outside. She is intuitive towards danger and will sense any potential threat. Lee Duo is abroad right now, but I will ask someone else to follow you and keep you safe.”
Hearing his serious tone, Shangguan Ning couldn’t help but get nervous. “You must keep yourself safe too, make sure you have enough men with you.”
She had no idea who was it that wanted to bring Jing Yichen down and how many of them were there. But judging from how Tang Yun was behaving – extreme and fierce, she understood that these people wouldn’t fight with him openly.
Seeing her getting nervous, Jing Yichen laughed and then patted her back softly as he said, “It is okay, don’t worry. They won’t dare to do anything impulsive. If I was easily defeated and Family Jing could be broken down so easily, then it could not have prevailed for hundreds of years. For four generations, Family Jing has had only one son. Jing Yiran is the only love child in my generation, otherwise I would have been alone. There are few people in Family Jing and killing the heir would be the fastest way to bring down Family Jing. But for so many years, no one has managed to realize this wish, do you know why?”
Shangguan Ning looked up and curiously repeated Jing Yichen’s words. “Why?”
“Because Family Jing is not only powerful but also vicious. No one dares to offend us easily. When I was shot the last time, dad spent the entire day forcing the killer to kill himself and destroyed the entire Family Yang. There are no more than five people of Family Yang in the entire world left now and the number is getting smaller. There will be none left in the end. Other people say that he is too vicious, but if he weren’t, Family Jing would not stand firmly on the ground and I would not have been protected so well. Anyone who hurts me would be ruined, including his family, no matter how powerful a family could be. Grandpa once did the same, and he is more vicious and crueler than father.”
“Therefore, no one dares to take my life. Family Yang found a willing killer last time because they aimed at you. If Family Yang had known your real identity, they would not have done what they did.”
“After our wedding, my identity will be publicized and it will be spread around so that all the forces know of me. Although my life would be exposed, yet that can also lead up to a powerful umbrella of protection. Family Jing is famous in both the legal and illegal field. Some people might get resources from us but few would try to break us down. Anyone who tries to bring us down is dead.”
Jing Yichen was describing the status and ability of Family Jing in a calm tone, but to Shangguan Ning’s ears, it sounded incredibly intimidating and proud.
Crisis had arrived and blizzard was on the way, but Shangguan Ning felt somehow rather assured with him beside.
He was safe. Shangguan Ning got assured and fell asleep holding his waist and nestled in his arms.
Shangguan Ning woke up in Jing Yichen’s arms the following morning.
The moment she opened her eyes, she could see the perfect side profile of Jing Yichen in deep sleep. She could smell his unique scent, making her feel warm and secure.
Outside the villa of the village, the happy chirping sound of birds could be heard everywhere, making the sunny morning full of vigor.
Shangguan Ning went up and kissed the tempting lips in front of her.
But the moment she leaned in, Jing Yichen opened his eyes and looked at her, making Shangguan Ning flush.
She struck upon Jing Yichen’s chest and said in a hoarse voice, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you!”
Jing Yichen chuckled and kissed her before saying, “Yes, I did it on purpose. I just wanted to see if anyone was going to steal a kiss from me.”
Shangguan Ning snorted and threw a glance at him. “I am not stealing a kiss, I am giving a generous kiss. You are my husband, and I am totally allowed to kiss you.”
She barely talked in such a proud way and right now sounded just like Jing Yichen.
The smiles on their faces were also identical.
“Alright then, get up now. Let’s get back to the city today, we have loads of work to do at the company!” Shangguan Ning pinched his arm and tried to drag him out of the bed.
But Jing Yichen remained on the bed. With fingers intertwined with hers, he said softly, “There are always loads of things to do at the company. I have hired those people so that they can be useful at this point. We are on a holiday and you can have as much fun as you wish. Leave everything aside until you are fully satisfied.”
Shangguan Ning thought for quite a while before deciding to stay for two more days here. She liked this place that only belonged to her and Jing Yichen.
They got up, changed, ate breakfast and then went out.
Seeing her newest outfit, Jing Yichen laughed all the way.
Ning had changed into a set of cotton cloth which belonged to Aunt Fu. She had just bought the clothes yesterday and Shangguan Ning took them to wear. Jing Yichen had given her some more money to buy a new set.
Aunt Fu was as tall as Shangguan Ning, but she was a few sizes bigger than Shangguan Ning. Dressed in baggy clothes with white and red floral patterns, Shangguan Ning did look like a Ms. Famer with the veil on the head, basket in arms.
“No laughing!” Shangguan Ning pinched Jing Yichen furiously and threatened. “One more smile and I will get you dressed in this way too.”
She had been feeling very happy after getting dressed in these clothes as a farmer lady. With a basket in her arms, she was fully prepared to dig sweet potatoes with Jing Yichen from the ground. But Jing Yichen kept teasing her, making her feel conscious.
Jing Yichen restrained his laughter. “Alright, alright, no more laughing! Your being farmer is enough, don’t make me one too, or I will not even step outside. Let’s go and dig the sweet potatoes. The lunch depends on you!”
“Of course!” Shangguan Ning responded happily and ran to the sweet potato field confidently.
But she had no idea how to use the shovel, as a result several sweet potatoes had been cut into halves by her while digging them out and the leaves were left everywhere.
Jing Yichen took the small shovel from Shangguan Ning and shook his head helplessly. “Just take a break, wife. We will starve if you continue in this way. Let me do that instead. You just wait aside for food.”
