Chapter 21: The End(1/2)
Spring goes and autumn comes, and time flies.
Three years have passed since Dong Cailing succeeded as the owner of the manor.
Three years are not long or short.
But these three years have been the most difficult three years since Dong Cailing became the owner of the manor.
After all, at the succession banquet, she offended most of the colleagues who had been friends with Linwu Villa.
Even though she had shown her fearless confidence through Achao.
But this does not mean that other sects and practitioners will bow their heads and buy it.
therefore.
In the past three years, Linwu Villa has encountered too many intentional or unintentional difficulties, which once made Dong Cailing anxious. Fortunately, with Achao's assistance and Xia Fan's occasional guidance, Dong Cailing has been able to stand up and Linwu Villa has gradually begun to get on track.
"Those three old guys finally gave in?"
at night.
Every time Dong Cailing is busy, she returns to the boudoir.
She would habitually tell Xia Fan about all the problems she encountered and her worries.
perhaps.
Only Xia Fan can let her take off her guard and open her heart.
This is not only Xia Fan's husband, but most importantly, what Xia Fan did shows that he is a person worthy of complete trust.
"Yes, after all, Cailing has gradually grasped the substantial power of the villa. Seeing that the situation is unstoppable, everyone is worried that Cailing might target them in the next step, so they simply sent someone to express their compromise to Cailing."
Dong Cailing said softly.
"What are you going to deal with them? After all, they have caused you a lot of trouble in the past three years."
Xia Fan casually ate the exquisite pastries placed on the table.
"The outs who should be sent out, and those who should be idle should be idle, Cailing tries not to let them touch the core of power of the villa again, and at the same time, they must be able to play their strengths."
Dong Cailing said in a deep voice.
"It's not bad, very good, very capitalist, I'll talk about their surplus value."
Xia Fan smiled and said.
"…Husband is saying something Cailing doesn't understand again."
Dong Cailing immediately smiled bitterly when she heard this.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. Anyway, you can barely be called a qualified owner now. Sure enough, the more pressure you are, the more you can train a person. Compared to you who pretended to be strong three years ago, you are really smarter and more capable now."
Xia Fan picked up the teacup and took a sip and said lightly.
"But all this cannot be separated from the help of you and Achao. If it weren't for you, Cailing wouldn't know if she could stick to it until now."
Dong Cailing sighed lightly.
"Who told you to be my wife? If I don't help you, I will help you."
Xia Fan shrugged.
"...Husband, do you really treat me as your real wife now?"
Dong Cailing suddenly fell silent for a moment, and looked at the man in front of her with complicated eyes and said.
"Well??? Cailing, you have something to say."
Xia Fan suddenly shook his eyebrows and looked at Dong Cailing thoughtfully.
"...Husband, Cailing never knew what it was like to like someone before marrying her husband, but Cailing recently found that she was a little confused because Cailing didn't know if she really fell in love with her husband."
Dong Cailing bit her lips lightly, as if she had plucked up her courage and looked straight into Xia Fan's eyes.
"Ha ha……"
Unexpectedly, Xia Fan shook his head and made an inexplicable laughter after hearing this.
"What are you laughing at?"
Dong Cailing immediately said.
"Cailing, are you sure you really like me, not get used to or rely on me? If you really like me, then you won't be confused."
Xia Fan raised his hand and gently scraped Dong Cailing's little Qiong Nose and said with a smile.
“…What does it feel like to like someone?”
Dong Cailing said in a daze.
"Do you like someone's feeling? This kind of emotion cannot be explained clearly in a few words. If you really want to know, you might as well observe and experience it yourself."
Xia Fan said lazily.
"...Husband, Cailing suddenly wanted to know, did you like Cailing? Even if you only have a little bit of it?"
Dong Cailing's face hesitated for a moment.
"If you have a little bit, there will definitely be some. After all, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? But, my love for you is just that for the time being."
Xia Fan said without any concealment.
“…Where is the peach?”
Dong Cailing couldn't help but clenched her fist.
"Just like you."
Xia Fan said lightly.
"Same..."
Dong Cailing murmured to herself and soon fell into silence again.
"Cailing, love affairs are unforgivable. What you like is like, and if you don't like, you don't like it. There is no reason to say, let alone our days in the future are still long. I can't say which day I may fall in love with you."
Xia Fan said softly.
"...Cailing knows, husband." Dong Cailing forced a smile and said. "It's getting late, Cailing is planning to rest, where are you, husband?"
"You go to bed first, I want to go out and bask in the moon later."
Xia Fan waved his hand.
"All right."
Dong Cailing didn't say much, and walked straight toward the bed.
After eating pastries on the table.
Xia Fan gently patted the desserts on his hand, got up and walked out the door.
moment.
He came to the courtyard.
Sitting on the familiar rocking chair, he slowly swayed.
"Shopkeeper..."
The next moment.
A complex and low voice rang in my ears.
"Don't be polite, sit down."
Xia Fan didn't even raise his eyelids, and he pointed to the stone bench next to the table.
"Yes, the shopkeeper..."
The voice said respectfully.
"You are the first to come to me in the past three years. Why? Finally, I figured it out?"
Xia Fan thought casually.
"...Shopkeeper, I'm actually here to say goodbye to you."
The voice was silent for a moment.
"Farewell? Where are you going?"
Xia Fan seemed a little surprised.
"Leaving the Bird Dynasty, I want to see the wider world outside."
That voice said.
"This is what I thought about in the inn for three years before I figured it out."
That's right.
The person who spoke was Xiao Ming.
