Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

He was going to wait for a bit longer, till he passed the examination.

By that time, he would be a good match for her, and he could ask her then..

Shao Yunduan flushed and believed that she should like him too.

For now, he said nothing except for just two words, “Don’t worry!”

Qiao Xuan could sense that he was very resolute at the moment. She felt his heart soften and started to feel a bit guilty.

She should not have teased him like this.

They should have understood by this point that they were not going to divorce as they had agreed at the beginning.

“I am not worried!” Qiao Xuan smiled and tugged at his arms. “Let’s go back! Qi and Taotao should be back by now. They will be worried about us!”

Shao Yunduan was very happy to be pulled by her. “Let’s go!”

There was no better wife than her. She was nice to him and treated his siblings warmly too.

They ran into Taotao and Qi on the way back to the hotel. Shao Yunduan wondered how he felt when the duo had two more people joining them. He suddenly lost the sweet air which existed a while ago.

The four of them headed back to the hotel together.

As they were going into the room, Shao Yunduan suddenly stopped at the entrance and looked at Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan seemed to have sensed that he was looking at her, and she returned the look.

As their eyes met, Shao Yunduan stiffened slightly and panicked. He was feeling a bit strange.

He was just about to move away when Qiao Xuan smiled. “Good night!”

Shao Yunduan also replied in a relaxed tone. “Good night!”

Then he hurried into his room.

Qiao Xuan chuckled and felt slightly emotional as well. She could not help but smile.

Early the next morning, Yuezheng Xiao came over with a wagon and took them to visit Xie Jingrong’s abbey in the outskirts.

Xie Jingrong’s abbey was his personal property, which was located at Peach Flower Site, more than ten miles away in the southern outskirts of the city.

The abbey wasn’t enormous but looked really beautiful.

There were rockeries, a small lake and more.

They could either go into the rockeries or row a boat in the lake in hot summer.

Xie Jingrong’s abbey was located in the valley, and there was a green lake outside the path.

At the back of the abbey was a large bamboo forest that was well-maintained. Passing through the bamboo forest was a maple forest. A white waterfall fell from the mountain, and the sound of rumbling water brought forth bursts of coolness.

Xie Jingrong was already waiting for them when they arrived.

Xie Jingrong was only entertaining them on this day. No other guests were around.

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao both let out a sigh of relief.

They were very afraid of running into strangers like Lady Yuezheng. That would be awkward.

Rich families varied as well. Brother Yuezheng and Brother Xie were very different from others.

Without any outsiders around, they talked happily.

The garden was small and exquisite, quiet and elegant. Taotao could not move her legs when she saw the koi swimming in the water lily pond, so Xie Jingrong ordered his maid to bring fish food and accompany her to feed the fish.

Shao Xiaoqi was quite looking forward to seeing the horses in the abbey when he heard about it.

Xie Jingrong took them to see the horse.

In the valley outside the manor, there was a small horse farm, enough for beginners to practice.

Shao Xiaoqi was really excited. He touched and patted the horses, smiling happily.

Yuezheng Xiao laughed and sent away the coachman, offering to teach Shao Xiaoqi to ride a horse personally..
