Chapter 148: Chapter 144 Lucky Break Qin Ye knew his wife’s water consumption was considerable, so he carried water three times. On the last trip, he didn’t leave immediately. Rong Yan looked at him still standing there and couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows, “What’s the matter, you’re not leaving?” Qin Ye looked at her, and this was the first time they were alone together since she had returned. Before, there were always people around, and he never had a chance to be alone with her. Reason told him to leave quickly; it was inappropriate for him to be there now, but at this moment... looking at his beautiful wife, reason was useless. He just wanted to hold her. To soothe the longing of so many days. When he looked at Rong Yan, his pupils deepened, and he just couldn’t move his feet. “Wife, I’ve missed you a lot, may I hold you?” Rong Yan: ... Shouldn’t even an honest person refrain from making such a request? Before she could speak, her hand was already grasped by someone, then before she could react, her whole being crashed into someone’s embrace. Her waist was tightly encircled. “Wife...” his voice was husky and gruff. Rong Yan was stirred by that voice. In his arms, she realized for the first time the difference in their heights... quite a difference indeed. Her nose was filled with the scent of his masculine hormones, the kind that made one’s legs go weak. Tilting her head back, because of the proximity, her lips just touched his chin. This seemed to flip a switch for Qin Ye. The emotions he had been suppressing suddenly sprang forth. He didn’t hold back, and leaned down to kiss her... At the very last moment, when all his rationality was on the brink of snapping, Qin Ye fiercely restrained himself. He was a picture of distress. “...Wife, take your time with the bath, I’ll go out first.” He knew if he didn’t leave then, he might never manage to do so. Dropping those words, he didn’t dare look at her swollen lips, and left precipitously. Rong Yan: ... You’re just going to kiss and run? Taking a deep breath to quell the trembling desire within her. She went to lock the door, then entered the space. She had no choice; she too needed to take a bath to cool down. She hadn’t expected kisses to be so delectable. And this man, who seemed so meek, was far from it... she liked his wild side. When Qin Ye came out, he was relieved to find the yard empty, which allowed him to hastily retreat to his room to calm down. Otherwise, given his current state of losing control... it would have been too embarrassing. After several minutes, when his whole body had settled, and he appeared completely normal, he then went out. Madam Rong happened to come out of the house and upon seeing Qin Ye, she immediately said, “Son-in-law, I have something to ask of you.” As soon as Qin Ye heard his mother-in-law had something to ask of him, he went over at once, “Mother, what is it?” “It’s like this; I want you to find a piece of wood that can serve as a crutch for Yanyan’s dad! He’s in his recovery period, and it would help if he had something to lean on.” Upon hearing it was such a trivial matter, Qin Ye immediately responded, “Mother, I’ll make one for Dad in a little while.” “Ah, good,” Madam Rong was pleased and then asked, “What do you want to eat tonight? I’m free in the afternoon, so I’ll make some buns for you!” She brought some flour and also brought some cured meat from the city, which wasn’t too salty, perfect for making buns. “Mom, you’ve been on the train for so many days, just rest; I’ll take care of the cooking. I’ve practiced my culinary skills recently and feel confident.” “It’s okay; there’s no need. As long as I’m here, I’ll do the cooking.” Madam Rong found herself increasingly pleased with her son-in-law. She had heard that men in rural villages rarely, if ever, set foot in the kitchen, so this son-in-law—who didn’t mind such matters—was a surprise. A man who can cook... how bad could his character possibly be? This big guy had it tough, raising such small siblings on his own. She had heard his parents passed away when his brother and sister were only seven, and at that time, he was just 15, wasn’t he? He was still such a child himself then! Thinking about this, a hint of pity flashed through her eyes. “Enough talk about cooking. Go find some wood for Yanyan’s dad!” she said. Qin Ye could certainly sense his mother-in-law’s fondness for him, and naturally, it made him happy. “Alright.” There was no suitable wood at home... At this moment, Qin Ye was eager to make the best possible cane for his father-in-law. He grabbed the ax from under the porch eaves and swiftly set off. Now, he was off to the mountains to find the perfect piece of wood. The thought of that previous kiss had his steps light and brisk with excitement. In the evening... just thinking about it, he felt the daytime was dragging on. He wished it were evening already so he could start a family with his wife. From that previous kiss, he knew his wife was willing. Full of energy at the thought of eating meat tonight, he felt he could run laps around the entire mountain without any trouble. He quickened his pace and found a very straight piece of wood halfway up the mountain. Then he sprinted down, but just before he reached the bottom, a rabbit suddenly darted out and collided with his leg. Qin Ye looked down... stunned. Was he this lucky in his entire life? A rabbit presenting itself on a silver platter. He bent down and picked up the stunned rabbit. It wasn’t good to bring it back just like that; after some thought, he cut some firewood and hid the rabbit in the middle of the woodpile. By the time he got home, Rong Yan’s freshly washed hair had already dried. “Did you go up the mountain?” she asked. Although her medicine was good, his recovery was unusually strong. “Yeah, wife, I found a rabbit. I’ll cook it for you tonight.” Qin Ye set down the firewood and untied it. He took out the rabbit, which he had later killed. Qin Yu came out just in time to see this, having heard his older brother’s words, so he blurted out, “Big bro, did you just get incredibly lucky?” Qin Ye’s face turned dark instantly; he gave his brother a cold look, feeling like he could just throw the guy out. Qin Yu, catching the death glare from his older brother, chuckled sheepishly and retracted his neck. “...I just thought it was too unexpected. Big brother never even encountered a rabbit before, and now you’ve just found one...” Wasn’t that just incredible luck? Qin Ye: ... Had his wife not been there, he felt he could’ve tossed the kid out on the spot. “Go boil some water.” The tone sounded somewhat ominous; Qin Yu didn’t dare say another word and quickly ran to the kitchen. “Did you really just find it?” Rong Yan asked, looking at Qin Ye. Qin Ye nodded, “Yeah.”
