Chapter 284 - The Good Wife

Along the way, the man kept talking, "Lady Ning, I"m not talking about you. There aren"t many good men like you in the whole Peach Blossom Town. You"re the most learned one in our town. Besides, the private school business is not bad.

This was indeed a society where men and women were inferior to women. It was always women who were accused of quarrelling, Wei Yuanwei muttered in her heart.

After about an hour of walking, they heard a low male voice reciting a poem, followed by the child"s tender voice: "Guan Ju-ge, on the River Continent. A beautiful lady is someone that a n.o.ble should be able to get his hands on. "

The man snapped his whip and the donkey stopped.

Ning Zhiqiang looked out from the window just in time to see Wei Yuanwei sitting on the donkey cart. Her clothes were hooked by the car wire and she was trying her best to pull at the hem of her dress.

Ning Zhiqiang put down the book in his hand and quickly walked out.

"Let me do it." Only then did Wei Yuanwei realize that the two were very close. It was as if her chin was caressing his black hair, and her face was slightly flushed, she had never been so close to a man other than Yun Xie.

Seeing that her long fingers had saved her clothes from being torn off the wire, Wei Yuanwei thanked her in a soft voice.

Ning Zhiqiang raised his ink-jade-like eyes to look at her, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face. His eyes slightly curved upwards, as if locking in the flowing light. "You and I are husband and wife, there is no need to be so courteous."

Why did this sound so familiar? It was as if Yun Xie had said those words countless of times. Just as Wei Yuanwei was about to lose his train of thought, she felt his body floating away, and the red and green flowers in front of his became a colorful floating ribbon. His feet gently landed on the ground, and everything else appeared clearly in front of her.

Ning Zhiqiang withdrew his hand from her waist with a smile. At this moment, the children stuck their heads out the window and laughed crisply. "Mistress is shy, hehehe …"

Wei Yuanwei felt even more embarra.s.sed. She pa.s.sed the basket in his hands to Ning Zhiqiang to ease the awkwardness, "You haven"t eaten yet right? This is for you."

Ning Zhiqiang opened his basket and looked at Wei Yuanwei with a strange expression. However, a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth...

Wei Yuanwei"s eyes swept across the basket and saw that it was empty. Only then did she suddenly remember that she was tired and thirsty so he ate the glutinous rice ball.

"About that, about that, I seem to have forgotten to put it on." Wei Yuanwei said awkwardly.

"My wife, you have enough." Ning Xi smiled.

Hearing the students jeering, Ning Zhizhan smiled and said, "My wife, you can go back first. I still have to give lessons to the students."

Wei Yuanwei was even better. She suddenly remembered that he didn"t even know the way back, so he said: "I"ll wait for you to come along."

Ning Zhiqiang"s eyes gradually turned black. His thick eyelashes cast a shadow over Ruyu"s face, so no one could tell what he was thinking.

Ning Zhizi returned to his room to continue his lesson, while a small child guided Wei Yuanwei to Ning Zhizi"s study.

Wei Yuanwei sat on the wooden chair, bored out of her mind. A small child came in with a few plates of dessert and a plate of apricot.

Wei Yuanwei could not help but admire Ning Zhiqiang"s meticulous thinking. He actually was able to tell that she was not full yet, and immediately grabbed onto something to eat after cleaning her hands. Her speed was simply like a tornado, causing the little boy to be dumbstruck.

Wei Yuanwei thought for a while, then said: "Has Sir eaten?"

The little kid shook his head. Wei Yuanwei felt even more embarra.s.sed, he had actually eaten Ning Zhiqiang"s lunch, if he had known earlier, she would have eaten less of it.

Just as Wei Yuanwei was a little impatient, a series of crisp sounds came from outside. The children ran out like wild horses that had escaped with their books and bags in their hands, laughing and laughing all over, scaring the birds on the tree into flying.

Seeing Ning Zhiqiang slowly walk in, Wei Yuanwei pushed the remaining two apricots on the table, which were thin, small, and still had insect eyes, to Ning Zhiqiang, "I heard that you didn"t eat lunch, so you should first eat these two apricots to fill your stomach."

He picked up Shui Xing and put her in his mouth without even looking at her. From Wei Yuanwei"s perspective, she could even see the smile on Ning Zhiqiang"s lips.

The two of them walked back along the small path, one walking behind the other. Both sides of the path were fragrant with the spring breeze blowing by. The narrow path was covered with pink petals, making it look extremely beautiful.

Petals would occasionally fall on Ning Xi"s hair, the pink and black contrasting colors wove together to form a bewitching beauty, Wei Yuanwei couldn"t help but to step forward and caress the petals on her hair.

Ning Zhiqiang stopped in his tracks. His pair of black jade eyes reflected Wei Yuanwei"s figure, and the corners of his lips slightly curled upwards. "My wife is so nice."

Only then did Wei Yuanwei realize his disrespect. She gently coughed and said: "Does Master Ning still remember when we were in the underground palace?

Ning Zhiqiang raised his brows. "Of course I remember."

Wei Yuanwei seemed to have caught on to hope as she excitedly tugged at Ning Xi"s sleeve. "Did you remember something?"

Ning Zhiqiang extended his hand to grab hold of Wei Yuanwei"s finger and said in a pa.s.sionate manner, "My wife, every year, I will help you caress the flower petals on your shoulder. I hope that I will do this for the rest of my life."

The hope in Wei Yuanwei"s heart was shattered as she pulled his hands out from Ning Zhiqiang"s warm big palms.

After returning home, Ning Zhiqiang changed into his usual clothes and sat under the lamp to repair a somewhat dilapidated kite. On the kite, he drew a beauty, rather than being a beauty, it was more accurate to say that she was an enchantress. Her ink-black hair flowed down from her head, and a garland of peach blossoms adorned her head, giving her a somewhat enchanting appearance.

Wei Yuanwei could not help but become interested: "What are you doing?"

Ning Zhiqiang dotingly scratched her nose. "That kite broke on the tree. Of course, I have to repair it. Otherwise, how could I have gotten the top spot on March 3rd?"

Wei Yuanwei had always been a fun person. When she heard that the Kite of Three Winds was a good example, she laughed and said, "What"s the reward if you get the top spot?"

"The reward is ten gold coins and ten silks. You can go to the Peach Blossom Pavilion in the town and listen to the show ten times." Ning Zhiqiang slowly explained.

Wei Yuanwei"s eyes lit up. She was in need of money right now, 10 gold coins was enough to open a small clinic.

Seeing Wei Yuanwei"s expectant expression, Ning Zhizi was even more serious in repairing the kite. He lowered his head, picked up the brush, and meticulously drew the picture on the kite.
