Chapter 28: Cold War Between Husband and Wife

After a series of events, Chi Wan’s life finally returned to peace.

There was no annoying Lu Xiangxiang, no arrogant Sun Guihua, and even Song Jing was forced by Captain Zhang to work in the fields every day, exhausted and no longer had the energy to bother Chi Wan.

At home, Huo Dongzhi’s decision to go to school was made.

The two brothers had a conversation, and although no one knew what Huo Dongzhi said, Huo Nanchuan’s furrowed brow relaxed, and he walked out with a look of relief.

Everything was going in a good direction.

The same was true in the Lingbao Space.

With Chi Wan’s tireless efforts, the warehouse in the space was filled to the brim.

In the farm, wheat and rice grew into a field, and recently, potato, peanut, and corn seeds were unlocked.

Chi Wan readjusted the planting ratio in the farm and planted all the potatoes, peanuts, and corn.

The peanuts were just blooming, one by one, white and delicate, looking cute.

The Xiao Tuanzi had never seen such a sight before, and she found everything new in the Lingbao Space magical.

She followed Chi Wan around all day, busy coming and going, becoming happier than before.

Every night when Chi Wan entered the Lingbao Space, the Xiao Tuanzi would chatter non-stop, as if she truly saw Chi Wan as her mother.

And Chi Wan also had the illusion that she was raising a daughter.

That night, the corn in the space matured for the first time.

The Xiao Tuanzi looked at the green and yellow things that looked like sticks, blinking her round eyes, her expression full of curiosity.

“Master, can this thing really be eaten?”

“Master, can I take a bite now?”

“Master, it smells so good!”

Chi Wan took a quick look and immediately identified that this corn was not sweet corn, but ordinary glutinous corn, which didn’t taste good raw.

However, roasted over a fire, it was definitely delicious, fragrant, powdery, and glutinous.

“Xiao Tuanzi, don’t be impatient, this thing doesn’t taste good raw, wait for me to process it, you’ll definitely eat until you can’t stop.”

The big and small figures sat down by the Spirit Spring Creek, excited.

Chi Wan just thought about it, and a small bonfire appeared.

She inserted a stick into the tail of the corn, the corn leaves didn’t need to be removed, and could be directly placed on the fire.

She kept turning it around, ensuring the corn was heated evenly.

Ten minutes later, a sweet and refreshing aroma began to spread.

“Master, is it done? Is it roasted? Xiao Tuanzi wants to eat.”

The Xiao Tuanzi kept swallowing, her pink lips glistening with saliva.

She was clearly a spirit power-formed pet, but after spending time with Chi Wan, she also developed an appetite like ordinary people.

Chi Wan looked at the corn, “It should be almost done.”

She endured the burning temperature and carefully peeled off the blackened corn leaves with her fingertips, revealing the plump kernels inside.

The aroma, accompanied by the heat, instantly became more intense.

“Wow! It smells so good!”

“Master, this corn is really delicious! It’s so delicious!”

Each of them held a corn cob, and they couldn’t stop eating.

The Xiao Tuanzi ate three corn cobs in one go, her little belly was round and bulging, and she even burped.

“Burp…”

“Burp…”

“It’s so delicious… burp…”

Chi Wan was really amused by the Xiao Tuanzi’s chubby appearance, her heart felt as soft as the creek, flowing endlessly.

She wiped her hands, held the burping Xiao Tuanzi in her arms, and gently rubbed her belly.

“Xiao Tuanzi, you can’t eat so much next time. Even if it’s delicious, you have to eat slowly, one bite at a time, one meal at a time.”

“Burp… I… I know… Master… burp… I know…”

The Xiao Tuanzi lay comfortably in Chi Wan’s arms, obediently admitting her mistake.

She felt an unprecedented warmth, accompanied by a faint floral fragrance, emanating from Chi Wan’s embrace.

So comfortable…

Even more comfortable than sunbathing…

The Xiao Tuanzi slowly closed her eyes, rubbing against Chi Wan’s arms, unconsciously getting closer.

Chi Wan held the soft and white creature in her arms, her palm gently stroking it.

She couldn’t help but think, if she and Huo Nanchuan had children in the future, what would they look like, would they be as cute as the Xiao Tuanzi?

It was originally something to look forward to.

But the more Chi Wan thought about it, the angrier she became! The angrier she became!

Because forget about having children, they hadn’t even taken the first step!

She had been married for almost a month, and she was still a virgin!

If this were told to others, no one would believe it.

Even Chi Wan herself didn’t believe it.

Since Huo Nanchuan took the initiative to kiss her that day, Chi Wan thought that the stubborn blockhead had finally opened up, and it was a leap forward in their relationship, and things would follow naturally.

However, everything was just stuck in place!

Huo Nanchuan was indeed no longer subconsciously avoiding intimacy between them, but he had no intention of going any further.

Was there really a Liu Xiahui in this world?!

Or was her chest not big enough, her body not soft enough?!

Otherwise, with their relationship of sleeping in the same bed every day, how did Huo Nanchuan hold back?!

…

With this doubt, Chi Wan held the Xiao Tuanzi in her arms and unconsciously fell asleep in the Lingbao Space, forgetting to return to the real world.

She didn’t know how long it had been.

Just as she was sleeping soundly, she heard the Xiao Tuanzi’s call from beside her.

“Master, Master, Master, wake up!”

The Xiao Tuanzi had already woken up and was gently pulling Chi Wan’s arm.

Chi Wan was sleeping comfortably, her beautiful face was full of drowsiness, and she finally opened her eyes.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Tuanzi?”

“Master, listen! Listen! There’s a strange sound!”

The Xiao Tuanzi frowned, confused and puzzled.

Chi Wan became slightly more awake and listened carefully.

Vaguely, she did hear some sounds, a man’s low and heavy breathing.

The Lingbao Space was empty, and besides Chi Wan, there was no one else, so this sound was transmitted from the outside world through Chi Wan’s body’s perception.

Therefore, the sound was made by Huo Nanchuan!

Chi Wan listened to the urgent, powerful, but suppressed breathing, and immediately understood what was going on!

In an instant, a wave of heat rushed to her cheeks.

Chi Wan immediately covered the Xiao Tuanzi’s ears with her hand.

The Xiao Tuanzi opened her round eyes, “Master?”

Chi Wan blushed and said, “Children shouldn’t listen to this, close off all your senses!”

The Xiao Tuanzi nodded blankly and closed off her five senses.

And Chi Wan listened to those faint sounds, but the blush on her face wouldn’t fade.

And she thought angrily in her heart.

She said that they slept together every day, Huo Nanchuan was holding a fragrant and soft beauty, how could he hold back.

It turned out that every morning, before she woke up, he was taking care of himself!

Good for you, you stinky man!

Even so!

Do you just want to treat the beautiful wife you married as a decoration?!

Humph.

…

After a low grunt, the rapid rise and fall of his chest calmed down.

As the intense darkness in his eyes dissipated, Huo Nanchuan also regained his composure.

He simply tidied up, fastened his belt, and then, as usual, got up and left the bed quietly before Chi Wan woke up.

After he left, the faint scent in the room would gradually disappear.

Just like the previous few days, Chi Wan wouldn’t know anything.

Huo Nanchuan thought so, just as he was about to lift his arm to get up, he heard a sound from beside him.

“Huo Nanchuan, so you solve it like this?”

Chi Wan called his name in her soft and sweet voice.

Huo Nanchuan was startled.

The nerves in his temples instantly tightened!

All the panic he had experienced from childhood to adulthood probably couldn’t compare to this moment.

He turned around in a daze and met Chi Wan’s clear and bright eyes.

Those eyes didn’t have a trace of drowsiness.

In other words, Chi Wan had heard everything.

She knew what he had just done.

Huo Nanchuan’s heart sank, as if it was being weighed down by a large stone, even his breathing became difficult.

Chi Wan looked at the stiff Huo Nanchuan.

Her fair face was not only filled with playful self-deprecation, but also a touch of sadness.

And it was precisely this sadness that deeply pierced Huo Nanchuan.

They were like two people standing on opposite ends of a balance scale, each struggling with something in their hearts, just not knowing how to approach each other.

“Huo Nanchuan, why… why… we… we… we are married…”

Chi Wan’s eyes were slightly red, staining her long and beautiful eye corners.

When she smiled, the corners of her eyes would curl upwards.

Now, not only were they red, but they were also slightly moist.

Huo Nanchuan wanted to reach out and hug Chi Wan, and he also wanted to touch her eyes and wipe away the moisture.

But his whole body was stiff, and he didn’t dare to move.

What he had just done deeply hurt Chi Wan’s self-esteem as a woman, as a wife.

But in his heart, how could he be willing?

Who wouldn’t like to have a warm embrace, who would be willing to be lonely.

Huo Nanchuan’s hand hanging by his side silently clenched into a fist.

Chi Wan bit her lip hard, suppressing the sob in her throat and asked, “Why… why… Nanchuan… we… we are husband and wife!”

This was also what Chi Wan was most annoyed about!

They were husband and wife!

She wouldn’t forget Huo Nanchuan’s previous tenderness and care for her because of his actions.

When he kissed her, he was clearly moved.

But what was going on in this man’s mind.

Chi Wan was determined to get to the bottom of it today.

Her eyes, sparkling with moisture, stared intently at Huo Nanchuan.

When Huo Nanchuan heard Chi Wan’s slight sob, his heart softened.

But he was afraid of regret.

He was afraid that Chi Wan would regret it.

Huo Nanchuan let out a long sigh, wanting to hold Chi Wan’s hand, but he made a slight movement and finally froze in mid-air.

He just looked at Chi Wan, his eyes deep and unfathomable, and said in a low voice.

“Xiao Wan, are you really willing to marry me, to marry me?”

This question suddenly stunned Chi Wan.

She frowned, her expression a little dazed.

Then, she heard Huo Nanchuan’s voice again.

“Xiao Wan, are you really willing?”

“When Director Ye came to me, he told me about your situation. Your family had problems, and it would also affect your situation in the production brigade…”

These words from Huo Nanchuan brought back some forgotten memories for Chi Wan.

It was something that happened before Chi Wan transmigrated…
