Chapter 221: I’m Not From the Qing Dynasty
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A few days ago, there was a piece of news about a girl who wore relatively light clothes in winter. As a result, she was accused of being immoral.
There were many similar cases. For example, an innocent girl was raped, but the public said that she attracted people to commit crimes because she wore too little.
At that time, when Jin Nian had changed out of her waist-revealing top, Lu An had been beside her. He had asked her why she had changed out of her clothes.
When Lu An saw Jin Nian wearing that dress, she looked delighted. She should have liked that dress.
“I really like this dress…”
At that time, Lu An crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame. He looked frivolous. “If you like it, wear it.”
“But…”
“What?”
“Don’t you think it’s too…revealing?”
“It doesn’t. Does it?” Lu An asked indifferently. I’m not from the Qing Dynasty.”
His reply surprised Jin Nian. She thought that a strong person like Lu An, who looked a little like a male chauvinist, didn’t like his partner to wear such revealing clothes.
However, Lu An’s circle was more open and free, so he shouldn’t be sensitive to such things.
In fact, it wasn’t because Lu An had seen too much that he wasn’t sensitive. Fie just had a more correct view of the world.
Lu An had always felt that women had their own way of dressing. It had nothing to do with being immoral, whether it was exposing their waists or thighs.
What was genuinely immoral was the hearts of those who looked at everything as “immoral”.
Therefore, Lu An felt that she was not in the wrong as long as she liked whatever she wore, regardless of whether it was revealing or inappropriate to some people.
Lu An didn’t intend to declare his ownership of Jin Nian by controlling her freedom of dressing. What he liked was her happiness from the bottom of her heart, not his control over her feelings.
Jin Nian could wear whatever she liked, and Lu An would not interfere with her way of doing things. Even if society did not conform to the freedom that Jin Nian pursued, he would do his best to create an environment that was suitable for her.
That night, Jin Nian hesitated for a long time. She decided to wear clothes that looked a little revealing which she liked very much.
Lu An said that she only needed to wear the clothes she liked, and he would take care of the rest of the trouble.
Gradually, the people around Jin Nian realized that she seemed to have gained more confidence. When she first joined a new team, there would always be a period of adjustment. In the past, she would secretly feel sad in a corner, but now she would not.
She learned from Lu An and walked her path. She insisted on her thoughts. What others said and thought had nothing to do with her.
That afternoon, Lu An had just returned home from a meeting. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the fragrant smell of food from the kitchen. The entire house was filled with the fragrance of kitchen fire.
Of course, the so-called kitchen fire was actually because Jin Nian forgot to turn on the range hood. As the price for her carelessness, she was irritated by the onions, and snot flowed down her face.
Ever since Jin Nian married Lu An, she had rarely cooked for herself. She liked to cook. When she was resting, she would hum a tuneless tune and make some food. She felt relaxed in this way.
There was no housekeeper at home, but there would be a part-time helper who would come to clean up and occasionally help with dinner.
At this moment, Jin Nian had just finished cooking a dish of braised vegetables. When she heard the sound at the door, she immediately ran to the entrance to welcome Lu An. “Babe! You’re finally back!”
Jin Nian was wearing a white knitted sweater that fit her perfectly. Her long hair was pinned back by a white shark clip and she was wearing a pink ap.r.o.n.
Lu An walked over and put his arm around Jin Nian’s shoulder. “Are you cooking?”
“Yeah.”
“Didn’t we agree that 1 would pick you up for lunch?”
“Anyway, I’m off today. I have nothing else to do at home, so 1 learned a new dish.”
As she knew that Lu An didn’t have a good appet.i.te for chili, she put less chili in this dish. To make up for the lack of spiciness, Jin Nian even carefully mixed other seasonings.
Jin Nian excitedly took out a dish that she had just cooked and handed it to Lu An. She took off her ap.r.o.n and sat beside Lu An, waiting for his comments with antic.i.p.ation.
Just as the dish entered Lu An’s mouth, he closed his eyes and praised before he could taste it, “It’s especially delicious!”
“Is this dish spicy?” Jin Nian asked with concern.
Spiciness was a form of pain, but it was not something that could be felt the moment it entered the mouth. Usually, it would take a few seconds before it could be detected.
“It’s not spicy,” replied Lu An instantly..
