Chapter 44: The Passing Years

Laughter in the courtyard was heard from afar, and her laughterโ€”Jing Xuan stopped and listened intently, her eyes unconsciously falling on the snow-covered hedge.

"E-niang, E-niang......" Yun Ke's laughter was also joyful, and his speech was already very clear, but it still had the unique milk of a four-year-old child.

He slowly raised his hand and grabbed some of the snow from the hedge, it was cold, he clenched it tightly, and the snow turned into cold water and ran down his fists between his fingers.

Four years ......

His ears were filled with the sound of her and the child's playful laughter, and as he listened, a faint smile rose to the corners of his mouth. In this hurry, without a trace of four years, is he happy? Is she happy?

He walked to the gate of the courtyard, and the maids all smiled and watched Meili take Yun Ke to build a snowman with a snowball, and Meili laughed and hit Yun Ke's fat little ass with a small snowball from time to time. Yun Ke was not convinced, and threw snowballs at his mother, causing Meili to dodge left and right.

"Amma!" Yun Ke caught a glimpse of him at the door, smiling and running towards him in the snow, four and a half years old, he was extremely dependent on his father, and as long as he saw Amma, he would haunt him.

Jing Xuan habitually picked him up and patted the snow marks on his body for him, but his eyes were fondly reminiscing about the playful smile that had dispersed on Meili's face.

"Lord Wang, are you back?" She smiled at him, softly and quietly, but like a good wife specially prepared for him.

"Hmm." He nodded, hugged Yun Ke, and reached out to take her cold hand from playing in the snow into the house together.

She was obediently pulled by him, but her eyes looked at Yuemo, who was already married, and told her to sweep away the snow in the courtyard.

Every time it was such an unintentional moment, it pierced his heart the deepest.

Disappointment, approaching helpless disappointment.

She is a good wife, she shushes him warmly, serves him carefully, is also respectful and polite to Su Ying, and loves Yun Jue very much. In the past four years, she never let him worry about it, but he knew that four years, forty years...... He could no longer go back to her heart, and her heart was all thrown into her son.

She was finally his wife, and her heart was already obedient, but ...... But it's no longer the beauty he wants.

She had already filled a hand stove for him, and placed it gently and carefully in his hand, and she smiled at him: "Hungry? Today there is your favorite snack. โ€

He nodded and smiled, it turned out that he was not a lucky person either, God gave him some, and he must take some away. He also confessed.

After the meal, afraid that Yun Ke would make him annoyed, Meili took him to play tangram, Jing Xuan sat in the warm chair behind the bookcase, holding the paperwork that he was not busy with during the day, and silently watched the expression of a mother and a son sitting on the kang and playing.

She is twenty-two years old, and the vivid expression when she plays games with Yun Ke makes him so familiar and nostalgic. Although this sincere smile is not for him, as long as he can still see it, he is satisfied.

Whenever this happens, he will be a little unwilling to thank Yun Ke, it was Yun Ke who grabbed the woman he loved so much and didn't let her disappear from this world completely.

After looking at it for a while, he lightly ordered: "Prepare water." โ€

The maid went away in response, and Meili also kissed Yun Ke's little face knowingly, personally sent him out of the door, and watched him being led back to the room by the nurse. But when she returned, she still had a gentle smile on her face.

He looked at her smile, and his heart would be empty in an instant, and then, get used to it.

The warm water filled his neck, and he felt a little pressure on his breath and his heart was stuffy. Whoa, whoa...... The slight sound of water, it was behind her who was wiping his back.

"Miri." He couldn't help but call her again, in fact, he didn't know what he was going to say, and gradually, he didn't know what to say to her. After four years of calm and calm, they are familiar with each other, but the strangeness in their hearts is accumulating silently.

"Huh?" Her hands were so gentle, yes, she and he were already too familiar, bathing and sleeping together...... Unalterable principle.

He shook his head, indicating that it was okay.

"Su Ying is about to give birth, right?" She rubbed his smooth and strong back, and her tone was so light that he was helpless.

"Hmm!" He snorted impatiently.

Husband and wife, he really understands the meaning of this word so deeply, he and Su Ying are husband and wife, and so is Meili. Lovers need love, husband and wife...... No, you don't!

"You want a daughter, don't you?" She asked, in fact, she wanted a daughter very much, very much, but she couldn't bear to have another child to share Yun Ke's maternal love. She loves Yunke, and she has fallen into obsession. Moreover, she doesn't want to have another child who is destined to be embarrassed, she can't afford so much guilt.

"Whatever." He stood up, and she quickly got up from the water and wrung out a towel to wipe him down. He stepped out of the tub and lay down on the lid of the kang. Every time he heard her talk about Su Ying and Yun Jue so calmly, including the child Su Ying was about to give birth, he couldn't help but be irritable.

She dried herself, put on her underwear but did not immediately put on the kang, and there was a bowl of warm decoction on the table, which she drank seriously.

He looked at her, she had been drinking this medicine for four years, and she didn't shy away from him, and he didn't stop it. Although every time he thought that she was unwilling to give birth to a child of his, he would feel a burst of regret and heartache, he smiled coldly, he did not lack children, and he did not want her to have another one to take away her heart, Yun Ke had already gotten too much, and another ...... He was left even less.

He didn't blow out the bedside lamp, her expression when she was emotional, her misty eyes that were addicted to desire, he was addicted to love, it was he who made her so happy, he could satisfy her like this, please her, the moment when they got each other, his heart was steady, it was hot.

She was no longer haunted by nightmares, and she often smiled sweetly when she slept in the crook of his arm, and he knew that she was ...... It wasn't him who dreamed about.

Who cares? What has become of the passing years, what have become of them in the passing years, who cares?

In his arms is warm and soft her, he closes his eyes, only this moment of peace of mind and satisfaction, enough for him to live a lifetime!

There was a soft knock on the door, and Yun Ke whispered, pretending to be pitiful: "Amma, Eniang." โ€

She trembled in his arms, and everything about Yun Ke made her extremely sensitive. He sighed secretly, took the underwear next to the pillow and put it on, Meili also woke up, and dressed in a panic while answering Yunke's call.

After tidying up, Jing Xuan got off the kang and opened the door, and Yun Ke jumped in and hugged his legs, "Amma, I'm afraid, I want to sleep with you." โ€

Miri lowered her eyes, looked at the unlit darkness in the corner of the room, and didn't speak.

Jing Xuan frowned and picked up the little doll on his lap, "Wearing so little to come?" Where's your nurse? โ€

Although she didn't say it, he didn't know what she meant.

"The nurse is asleep, she is not as fragrant as the mother." Yun Ke drilled into his arms and blinked slyly, obviously a flattering lie, "There is no Amaxiang." โ€

Jing Xuan carried him into the quilt and hugged him deadly, quite suspected of retaliating for him for lying, "I'm fragrant, right?" Sleep on my side. โ€

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Yun Ke pouted, "Actually, Eniang is a little more fragrant." โ€

"Either sleep with me or go back and sleep with your nurse!" He forcibly pressed Yun Ke, who wanted to crawl away.

Miri couldn't help but smile.

"Okay." Yun Ke failed to agree, was restrained in his arms by the evil-hearted Amma, twisted for a while and finally fell asleep.

Meili pulled up the quilt for the father and son, and lay down close to Jing Xuan's back...... Yes, with this warmth, she can also live her life.
