After she finished her morning routine, Yao Zhi thought of checking the progress of the wasteland project. In the past month, after the workers finished fertilizing the land, they went to help dig the pond.
Thanks to this, the wells were almost completed, and three ponds had already been dug. She needed to go there to check whether the ponds were leaking or not.
The bamboo water pipe was also connected, and the mountain spring water was collected in the pond.
With so many things to do, she was so busy that she forgot about her husband.
Before she could climb onto Yun Feng, she heard Ye Ying and Bai Xue’s growls coming from the front yard. Fearing that they would injure soone, she quickly went to check the situation.
At this mont, Fu Chen’an was staring at the two wolves in front of him. He had already pulled out his blade and was ready to kill them. His eyes were red as he stared at them with killing intent.
He didn’t know how these wolves could be here. But just looking at their size, they were strong and powerful. He tried his best to focus his mind and not think about his wife’s possible danger.
He had only one thought—to kill these beasts and save his wife. But before he could make a move, he saw his wife walk out from the backyard.
Seeing her husband facing her pets with a drawn blade, Yao Zhi was shocked. She didn’t want them to hurt each other and quickly said, "Ye Ying, Bai Xue, stop! That’s your Father!"
After she said this, not only the wolves, but even Fu Chen’an was stunned.
Thinking that he was injured, Yao Zhi quickly walked over and checked on him. "Husband, how are you? Are you injured?"
Fu Chen’an regained his senses after hearing this. He sheathed his blade and said, "Wife, I’m fine." After a mont of silence, he asked, "Wife, what’s with these wolves?"
"These are my pets. They were injured back then. After I treated their wounds, they refused to leave, so I just raised them. The black one is called Ye Ying, and the white one is called Bai Xue."
After she said this, both Ye Ying and Bai Xue finally walked over and sniffed at their male master’s scent.
They could recognize the bloodlust and murderous intent in his body and knew that this person was not soone they could offend easily. So, they were very careful while sniffing him.
Seeing this, Yao Zhi rubbed their head and said, "Alright, your Father is tired. Both of you go play and co back when it’s alti."
The wolves’ intelligence had improved by leaps and bounds. Now, they were already able to communicate with her using gestures. After receiving this order, they happily went to the mountain to play.
Fu Chen’an was dumbfounded by his wife’s actions. Looking at the agile, majestic wolves, he suddenly felt that the coat made from the wolf fur he had hunted was no longer appropriate.
Not knowing about her husband’s conflicted emotions, Yao Zhi held his hand and led him to their room. After he sat on the wooden chair, she poured a bowl of water for him and asked, "Husband, when did you co back?"
As he drank the water, she continued, "Why didn’t you tell about your return? Have the Tatars been driven away?"
Fu Chen’an finished his water before saying, "I arrived at the military barracks twenty days ago and was busy with military training. I was only inford by my supervisor yesterday that I could return ho. This ti, I can only stay for three days."
When she heard this, Yao Zhi felt disappointed. Although she could et her husband when she sent lunch to the barracks, it was not the sa as spending ti together at ho.
Noticing her mood, Fu Chen’an held her hand and said, "Wife, I’m sorry."
Yao Zhi shook her head and said, "It can’t be blad on you. I admit that I do feel disappointed, but as I said before, you have your responsibilities, and I understand."
Fu Chen’an felt complicated seeing how understanding his wife was.
Back then, when she had been unreasonable, he had felt helpless and saddened that she couldn’t understand his difficulties. But now that she did understand him, he felt heartache and guilt instead.
Thinking that her husband was tired, Yao Zhi patted his arm lightly and said, "There is hot water in the kitchen. You should take a bath first."
"Okay."
While her husband was filling the wooden bathtub with well water, Yao Zhi added five drops of spiritual spring water to the big pot of hot water.
Although he said nothing, she noticed the dark circles under his eyes and saw how haggard he was. Soaking in the water mixed with the spring water could reduce his fatigue and improve his health.
Not long after, Fu Chen’an went to the kitchen and carried the hot water to their room. While he was taking a bath, Yao Zhi prepared a al for him.
It was seven o’clock in the morning, so she didn’t prepare a heavy al. She made a big bowl of chicken noodles with two fried eggs for him. Then, she took out two Roujiamo from her system’s storage.
When the food was ready, she carried the tray to the room. At this mont, her husband had just finished his bath.
Seeing her walk in, Fu Chen’an quickly put on his outer robe.
He was still too shy to show his body to his wife. He had been injured, and his body was covered in scars. He was afraid that his wife would find his body scary or ugly. So, if possible, he didn’t want her to see it.
After he tidied up, he poured out the water in the area near the well. Then, he finally sat beside his wife.
"Husband, I made chicken noodles and Roujiamo for you. Try it," Yao Zhi said as she handed a pair of chopsticks to him.
Fu Chen’an looked at the baked buns with at filling and asked, "Wife, how did you cook these buns?"
