Chapter 58: The Innocent Little Country Dog Strikes
The thatched cottage was at the end of the village, nestled against the base of the mountain, somewhat shaded from the sun, with only a few households scattered nearby.
An old man by the edge of the field took a puff from his pipe and cheerfully called out, “Li, come here!”
This old man was surnamed Zhang. He had exchanged greetings with the old party secretary and had some connections with Xia Li’s father, so he promised to keep an eye on the young man who had moved over.
Xia Li smiled politely at him while tidying up with Jiang Chenyi, listening to Old Man Zhang chat outside about the past.
He reminisced casually, saying that Xia Li’s father had learned to cook in the Xia family’s main household, was diligent and eager to learn, and had excellent skills at a young age.
At that time, whenever there was a wedding or a funeral in the village, everyone liked to invite Master Xia to take charge of the kitchen, ensuring that the food was satisfying.
Old Man Zhang had tasted his cooking, especially a dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables that melted in the mouth. He later never tasted anything better than what Xia Laosan made; that flavor was truly unforgettable.
“Xia Laosan was always lazy and loved to cut corners since he was young; his cooking skills were far inferior to your father’s. Tsk, he still dares to call himself a master…”
Old Man Zhang reminisced about the past, exhaling a ring of smoke.
Xia Li listened while helping to clean up the humble thatched cottage.
After placing some cloths and a basin for daily necessities, it barely looked livable.
She sat by the wooden bed, glancing around, and told the man that they would still eat at her place, while daily life and activities would take place here.
“Although it’s simple, this is your home for now. Having your own place is great.”
The man felt gloomy and unhappy.
But what could he say?
Thinking about how he was currently empty-handed and had nothing, how could he marry a little wife and have children with her?
The young girl sat gracefully and obediently by the wooden bed, a strand of black hair hanging by her ear, gently swayed by the wind, brushing lightly against her delicate, pale face.
She raised her sweet, gentle eyes and looked over at him.
Jiang Chenyi silently gazed at her, feeling his throat involuntarily tighten.
A surge of impulse struck him as the door was heavily shut.
The man, tall and solidly built, suddenly half-squatted in front of the bed, like a large wolf dog, his arms bracing against the sides of the bed, firmly enclosing Xia Li in the middle.
Xia Li’s almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise: “Huh?”
With determination, the man tightened his jaw, his sun-kissed face outlining sharp and defined features.
His dark eyes were fixed intensely on her, his tall and broad frame moving closer and closer…
They were so close that Xia Li could see clearly the blackness of his eyes and the handsome shape of his high nose.
She thought he was about to do something.
Instead, with their noses just a few centimeters apart, their breaths heavy, they stared into each other’s eyes…
“Wife.” Jiang Chenyi’s voice was low and hoarse as he fixed his gaze on her petite form enveloped in his embrace, his eyes revealing a deep sense of insecurity.
“You can’t abandon me.”
“You can’t hold hands with anyone else.”
“You can’t… be someone else’s wife.”
His dark eyes were deep as he stated succinctly:
“You are my wife alone, and in the future, you will have my children. You have to hold my hand every day, sleep with me, and, um… you have to give me that.”
Xia Li thought about pushing him away, but he held her loosely yet securely by the bedside, not actually touching her, but ready to wrap around her if she moved.
The solid shoulders and arms before her formed an impenetrable wall.
So this is… a bed confrontation?
Has the innocent little country dog finally shown his power? Seeing that they were about to live separately, did he want to do something with her?
