Chapter 694: Chapter 695 We Did Our Best_1 Chapter 694: Chapter 695 We Did Our Best_1 After a long while, Li Jifan finally spoke again, and his first words were a sigh, “A Farr official, no matter how junior, is still an official. Do you really not feel any reluctance to resign just like that?”
An Jing couldn’t help but find it amusing. This man clearly expected her to lose the bet, to resign her position.
However, An Jing didn’t comnt on the bet. In fact, she wasn’t even sure if the seedlings she and her husband had grafted together would survive. She simply said indifferently, “What’s there to be reluctant about? If that’s the case, then it’s my fate. Everyone has their own destiny, I don’t insist on going against it.”
Li Jifan was first startled, then expressed his admiration, “Lord An, you really are open-minded.”
An Jing laughed, “I have to be, don’t I? I am a woman after all. Even as an official, I’m still a woman and can’t compare to you n.”
Li Jifan failed to detect the irony, and instead, nodded as if it were a matter of course, “It’s good that you can think like this, Lord An.”
An Jing was speechless.
This man was cultured and polite, surely, and his intentions in visiting her were kind, but he was deeply poisoned by the ideology of male superiority, inherently believing that won were lesser than n.
Once An Jing had made up her mind, Li Jifan didn’t stay at her residence for long and soon took his leave.
As soon as Li Jifan left, An Jing turned around to see Xiao Changyi watching her expressionlessly.
Although Xiao Changyi was always expressionless, An Jing could still tell that he was unhappy.
Imdiately, An Jing laughed.
“Husband, you’re being absurdly jealous again,” said An Jing as she hugged Xiao Changyi’s waist, tilting up her small face, and cheerily spoke.
Xiao Changyi didn’t hug her back. While letting her hug him, he said indifferently, “I’m not being absurd.”
“Not being absurd?” An Jing’s laughter grew even heartier, “Here’s soone kindly advising not to resign from office, and you get jealous. Isn’t that absurd?”
Xiao Changyi said, “He does have intentions towards you.”
An Jing paused, then asked, “You’re not joking?”
Xiao Changyi continued without expression, “Do I look like I’m joking?”
An Jing imdiately said, “Then I will keep my distance from him in the future. I won’t speak to him if it’s not necessary. I am a married woman and cannot let an outsider upset my husband.”
Xiao Changyi actually nodded, “Mhm.”
An Jing was greatly amused, laughing, “Regardless of whether soone has intentions towards or not, my heart and eyes only have room for you, and only you.”
Xiao Changyi imdiately countered, “What about Jing’er and the others?”
An Jing fell silent for a mont before saying, “Husband, let’s not delve into that. It will only make you unhappy.”
Xiao Changyi: “…”
“Hahaha—” Finally, after quite so ti, An Jing burst into laughter; she genuinely found her husband’s current silence utterly hilarious.
An Jing almost laughed so hard she ran out of breath.
Once she finally managed to stop laughing, An Jing comforted him, “Jing’er and the others are our children. I love them in a different way. My romantic love is only for you, and I won’t have that kind of feelings for anyone else. Is that enough?”
Xiao Changyi then reluctantly nodded, solemnly responding, “Mhm.”
An Jing felt that her husband was quite the jealous type. Of course, it was also a sign of how deeply he loved her.
However, An Jing still said, “Husband, let’s go and check on the seedlings we grafted yesterday. If any of them are wilting, we can regraft them right away. Even if they don’t survive, we would have done our best.”
“Mhm.”
…
The seedlings they had grafted the day before indeed had wilted quite a bit.
Without overthinking it, An Jing and Xiao Changyi removed the wilting ones and grafted new ones onto them.
