Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 113 The bumpy road of love

The next day—

Ran Qianxi did not return home at night, and Shang Zijun did not return home either. The two of them seemed to be together again, talking about everything and making love madly.

"Zijun, if you don't go home, won't your wife look for you?"

"Don't mention her when we're together."

"Well... but she likes you very much..."

Shang Zijun was washing her hair, his movements were very gentle.

"I don't know, I just know that I don't like her."

Hearing this, Ran Qianxi felt a little guilty, but not too much. After all, Ke Nian was very good to him, and he not only married a virtuous wife, but also had her at the same time.

"Okay, I won't mention her anymore. I'll just talk about the new tonic soup I've been researching. I'll make it for you later."

Shang Zijun sneered. The two of them fell in love just because of a bowl of soup.

"Haha, okay. I happen to have some free time today. I'll help Xier try the soup."

"Okay, okay, then wash quickly."

Shang Zijun smiled faintly, and was willing to continue with him like this.

When the two had enough fun, it was already evening. Although they were reluctant to part, they still made an appointment to meet next time.

On the way back, she unexpectedly ran into Cheng Mo.

"Oh, isn't this Cheng Siqing? What a coincidence."

He was obviously hesitant.

"Xier, I..."

Ran Qianxi glanced at him and guessed that it was her childhood sweetheart who was causing trouble. Women are always very accurate in their judgments of other women at first sight.

Yesterday I guessed at first glance that my childhood sweetheart was not an easy person to deal with.

"Oh my... Could it be that Master Cheng's childhood sweetheart is sick? She needs you to see her before she can get better."

Cheng Mo remained silent, and Ran Qianxi knew that she had guessed right.

"Okay, go check it out. Don't blame me for stopping you if something happens."

Although Cheng Mo is well-read, facing the tough Ran Qianxi, his meek childhood sweetheart of humble origin is more convincing.

"Hey, this little girl is amazing. You are so busy every day, but you still find time to see her."

"No, Xier, it's just that she has no one to rely on, so I just helped her out."

"Hahaha."

Ran Qianxi laughed a few times and it was not difficult to hear that she was feeling sad. Before she could say anything, she received an anxious explanation.

Maybe it's because I owe too many debts of love. I see men all the time, but in fact there is no one around me.

"Sure enough, when facing a so-called gentleman like you, it is more useful to show weakness and gain sympathy."

"Xier..."

Ran Qianxi smiled faintly and never asked for anything.

"I know, go ahead."

The next day—

Hearing that Cheng Mo did not return home all night, I guessed that he stayed at his childhood sweetheart's house last night and did something unspeakable.

Ran Qianxi was drinking tea in the teahouse, feeling very angry. She actually lost to such an ordinary woman. She had not even tasted Cheng Mo's virginity.

"Damn it, it's my fault for not meeting enough people. I actually had such a defeat. It's really depressing."

While complaining, he saw Wei Jiguo passing by the teahouse.

"Jiguo."

Wei Jiguo raised his head slightly and walked up with anticipation and a smile.

"Why are you drinking tea here?"

"Wait for you. I guess you will pass by."

Wei Jiguo naturally didn't believe it, but he was still happy to hear her say that.

"That's not very credible."

"Why not? I was just waiting for you."

Although her lies were easily exposed, he still chose to believe her and was determined to be with her.

"Eh? Logically speaking, the appointment documents should have come down in the next few days. As a top scholar, you should be appointed as a general to protect the country."

He smiled, and under the guidance of Tan Qianhuan, Hao Biao and a group of military officers strongly recommended him to go to the border. If he could repel Pu Wan, he would be awarded the title of General of Protectorate the Country when he returned to the court.

"Yes, we will set out in a month."

"Did Pu Wan violate the border again?"

"Pu Wanren is a tyrant by nature. He has committed numerous acts of arson, murder and looting, and has killed hundreds of people living on the border of Dachang. Your Majesty has long been planning to send troops to wipe him out."

"Then you should do your best, and you will bring honor to our family when you come back."

"In three years, I will make all the people of Puquan surrender."

Looking at his serious and determined expression, Ran Qianxi fully believed that he could do it all.

"Okay, work hard and bring back two more border girls. Then you'll have wives."

"No, none of them are as interesting as you. If I can become successful, would you consider me?"

"Haha, don't wait until you become famous, why don't you be together now?"

Wei Jiguo couldn't hide his excitement and stood up directly.

"Is what you said true?"

"Yeah, why are you so excited..."

Although the two had known each other for only a short time, he looked down on the frail girl and felt that she was different when he first saw her on the road to the palace.

"Let's celebrate, what do you want to eat?"

"Hmm... copper pot..."

Wei Jiguo laughed happily and carried her straight to the copper pot shop.

"Eat until you have enough for today."

It was not difficult to see that he was truly happy, and his happiness infected Ran Qianxi, who laughed as happily as he did.

"Okay, eat until you're full!"

Wei Jiguo was busy running around in the copper pot shop, serving her willingly, helping her with meat and adding wine.

"Hey, what are you busy with? Eat too."

Wei Jiguo followed Yan and smiled.

"okay."

Throughout the entire copper pot meal, the smile on Wei Jiguo's face never faded.

"Try my hotpot."

Wei Guoji happily raised the bowl, and Ran Qianxi felt happy looking at him.

"it is good."

"Haha, why do you keep saying yes?"

Although he was not a talkative civil servant at ordinary times, he still talked quite a lot. But today, he finally fulfilled his wish and became a little embarrassed.

"I don't know what to say, but I think it's good as long as you say it."

"Haha, then tell me how many girls you have kissed?"

Wei Jiguo looked serious. From childhood to adulthood, he had never had any contact with any girl except Wei Jide, let alone kissing.

"I've only kissed you once."

Ran Qianxi obviously couldn't believe it. After all, he was so handsome and heroic, with an amazing body. He must be very popular with girls.

"real or fake?"

"real."

"How old are you, then?"

Wei Jiguo smiled.

"I am twenty-four this year."

"He's three years older than me, just the right age."

"Yep."

Ran Qianxi picked up a piece of mutton for him, and seeing his nervous expression, she thought it was right and smiled happily.

"Haha, I'll show you how to have fun later."

"okay."

Upstairs Rooms -

Ran Qianxi calmly sat down on the bed, while he stood there in a daze, not daring to move forward. The secret was self-evident.

"come."

Wei Jiguo hesitated for a moment and sat down as well.

Such a close distance and subtle atmosphere were as dangerous as fire. Just the slightest touch would be enough to devour her and burn her to ashes.

"This... is what you said?"

"Yeah, have you ever played it?"

Wei Jiguo's heart began beating faster as soon as he took a look at her. He was bound and imprisoned by desire and was about to break free.

"there has never been."

Ran Qianxi smiled and sat on his lap. The only thing that kept him from having any sanity was her dress.

"Then let's play a little."

"But...but...I haven't proposed to you yet..."

Ran Qianxi gently turned his face, kissed the corner of his mouth, and said ambiguously.

"Just tell me whether you want to or not~"

Wei Jiguo uttered a word without thinking.

"think."

"That's unacceptable. Why would we even propose marriage?"

Wei Jiguo looked at her lovingly. If he took this step, he didn't know if he could protect this woman for the rest of her life.

“But I’m scared.”

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that I'll have you but won't be able to protect you, and I'm even more afraid that I'll let you down."

Ran Qianxi gently laid him down, and her fingers gently tickled his earlobe.

"I'm not afraid~"

There was a flash of desire in his eyes, which faded away and was replaced by a pair of certainty.

"I will never let you down."

Ran Qianxi smiled gently and kissed him again.

“So long-winded~”

After a while, ambiguous voices rang out and he became a little out of control, panting heavily, his eyes slightly closed revealing satisfaction.
