Chapter 144: Jerk     Ying Sisi finished showering and leaned against the headboard, waiting for him. When she hadn't seen him get up for a long time, she went to find him.   She gently pushed open the door to the guest room and saw him still reading. She walked over and said, “A-Ci, aren't you going to sleep?”   “You sleep first. I'll read for a while.”   Ying Sisi bent down and made a move to close his book. “Go to bed early and get up early, then you can…” read.   “I can't sleep.” Qin Yanci gently pushed her hand away.   Ying Sisi frowned slightly. What's wrong with him? He was fine in the daytime.   He just gets cold all of a sudden at night.   Jerk!   I have to teach him a lesson about being willful today! She sat on his lap, put her arms around his neck, and gave him a flirtatious look. She tilted her head and said coquettishly, “Why don't we do something else?”   Qin Yanci's breath hitched. She's testing me like this. How ...

  Chapter 143: He Doesn't Believe It     They went back to the family compound and got their tools. Then they went to the forest.   Because it had rained recently.   The place where Ying Sisi had marked was washed away by the rain. They could only carefully explore as they went.   Qin Yanci inconspicuously observed his surroundings. The trees outside were bare, but the trees inside were unusually lush.   The ground was covered with moss, and the humidity inside was very high.   The mud on the ground was loose and soft.   It left deep footprints when you stepped on it.   There were strange cries coming from the depths every now and then. They were chilling when you first heard them.   She's not afraid to go fishing in this kind of place.   “Sisi, let me walk in front.”   Ying Sisi said, “You've been here less often. You're not familiar with the terrain. You should walk behind me. If I get stuck in the mud, it will be easie...

  Translator's Note: Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️ Here's your bonus chapter, translated with love and a heartfelt wish for you to enjoy it! 🥰 I hope you feel the warmth and emotion in every word. 💖 3/3 Chapter 142: On Purpose     Song Hanmei's face turned ugly. “You! I've been feeding you and giving you a good place to stay. Is this how you treat me? I shouldn't have agreed to let you marry into this family if I had known you were so heartless.”   “You can't reason with me. You're being a bully, aren't you? Why did you agree? You know better than anyone what your intentions were.” Ying Sisi was aware of her own value.   She was of marriageable age, and Song Hanmei had never paid anything for her, but she could have a big advantage. She was already overjoyed.   Especially after she married Qin Yanci.   Li Junlu not only received a dowry, but he also got a promotion.   I don't owe them anything.   They owe me.   “What kind of intention...

  Translator's Note: Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️ Here's your bonus chapter, translated with love and a heartfelt wish for you to enjoy it! 🥰 I hope you feel the warmth and emotion in every word. 💖 2/3 Chapter 141: How Dare You!     Qin Yanci got out of bed and went into the bathroom. He saw the toothbrush was already in the cup and the toothpaste was squeezed out.   Those toiletries were prepared for him. The plastic wrap on them hadn't even been removed when he brought them back last night.   She had actually opened them.   The thought of her using her little white hands to get water and squeeze toothpaste for him filled his heart.   It turns out that having a wife is not only enjoyable for your mood, but you can also get help with everyday things.   No wonder that guy hid her so tightly.   Thank goodness heaven has eyes.   They met.   Qin Yanci washed up and went to the dining room.   There was a stack of egg pancakes on t...

Translator's Note:   Hey everyone! Surprise! I'm releasing two extra chapters today in honor of Valentine's Day! ❤️ Happy Valentine's Day!   For those wondering why I didn't do extra chapters for Christmas and New Year's, it's because the release dates weren't actually on the holidays themselves. Hope you understand! 😉 1/3 Chapter 140: Reclaimed     Ying Sisi didn't go back to her parents' house the next day.   Because Qin Yanci said he wanted to stay near the competition venue the night before, she spent the whole day at home.   She packed his change of clothes and made him some snacks.   She made a nest for the pearl bird.   She was busy for the whole day.   Just before Qin Yanci left home, she seemed to remember something and asked, “When will the competition be over?”   “I'll be back on the sixth day of the lunar month.”   “It's going to last a whole week?” Ying Sisi thought, what kind of competition takes so many days? Qin Y...

  Chapter 139: Support     Qin Yanci was equally disgusted. Thank goodness Old Qin chose Ying Sisi for him. If he had ended up with Li Yuwei, who had no shame or skin, he would have died of anger.   To distract himself, he said, “Wife, let's go for a walk around the streets here.”   “Okay.”   They walked along the street for a while.   As they were returning, Ying Sisi's sharp eyes spotted two white round beads, about the size of a bean, on the ground. She picked them up and put them in her palm. “What is this? It's oval-shaped.”   Qin Yanci examined them carefully. “It looks like a pearl bird's egg.”   “Pearl bird? Is there such a small bird?” Ying Sisi was amazed.   “Yes. Hummingbirds are even smaller.”   Ying Sisi said, “Can they hatch?”   “You can try? I raised one when I was studying. Pearl birds are very clingy. They will land on your shoulder, your hand, and play with you.” Qin Yanci rarely showed such a gentle expressi...

 Chapter 138: Relying on Each Other     The gloom in Ying Sisi's heart dissipated. “Yes! It's good that you're here. Otherwise, I'd still be bullied.” She hadn't thought about resisting before, but she was a stranger in a strange land. She had nowhere else to go.   It's different now.   She has money, and a stable home.   When something unfair happens, there's someone to help her fight back.   At noon.   Feng Shuangxi came to the door and shouted, “Yuwei, I asked Mom to make you some chicken soup.”   Li Yuwei was overjoyed. “Aunt is too polite.”   “You're her daughter-in-law. If she's not polite to you, who will she be polite to? How is your foot? It's all my fault. My hand hurts. I reacted slowly and couldn't grab you in time.” Feng Shuangxi said with heartache.   Li Yuwei said sweetly, “It's much better. I don't blame you.”   “I'll feed you the chicken soup.” Feng Shuangxi opened the lid of the box and used a spoon to sco...
