Xia Fen complied

with respect to the stronger person, this little bit of discipline by w.a.n.g Yun

Feng could not tame him.

Although he

was holding the writing brush, he didn’t actually write a single character, he

directly drew over w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s name into a hiding turtle, moreover making

the last stroke of the `Feng` character into a thick and long tail. Extending

it continuously filling the entire writing paper.

Xia Ling

Mei looked over through the window several times, only seeing his writing brush

moving, as if he was diligently studying

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng lifted his head while he was working through his numerous affairs, seeing

Xia Ling Mei’s distressed expression in the corner. Sighing, he couldn’t help

diverge her mind asking: “Call your messenger over, help me deliver a letter to

father-in-law.”

Xia Ling

Mei slanted her head, her temper rising on behalf of her son: “It’s not like

you don’t have your own, my Fei Dao cannot be used by just anyone.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng had a rather deep meaningful smile: “But I’m not an outsider.”

Xia Ling

Mei was stumped for word, in her mind the pa.s.sion last night involuntarily

appeared. Her eyes completely narrowed, cheeks filled with love, she turned her

head again to see w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s gentle smiling expression, distracted.

He hasn’t smiled

with such carefree in such a long time.

In her

memory, all his tenderness was given to Xia Ling Mei when she was younger,

indifferently alienating her Xia Ling Mei; after they married, in the end all

his love was given to Xia Ling Wo, hate buried at w.a.n.g Residence where she was

withdrawn; after she had gotten her divorce paper, the him that she saw again, all

his happiness was frozen under his unmoving tranquil mask, only when he hoped

to see her would there be eagerness and devotion.

She has

also accidentally seen his appearance when he faces outsiders, unfeeling,

intense, extreme, as if he was a cold blade being unsheathed, every word could

injure someone.

Right now,

his gentleness once again appeared in front of her, yet made her feel she had

already experienced a lot in life.

Xia Ling

Mei felt somewhat indescribably sad.

Not knowing

when w.a.n.g Yun Feng had already pulled her into his arms, stroking her hair: “I

don’t like seeing your anxious expression, my Ling Mei should behave

unscrupulously, the temper in this world which solely holds supremacy over me.”

Xia Ling

Mei pushed him several times but he wouldn’t move, she coldly snorted: “You

don’t even consider my age, do you think we’re still young and frivolous, that

we can randomly squander our own family’s power, not hiding our own true

desires.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng pushed aside her messed up hair, softly saying: “We really are no longer

young people at a loss and ignorant, even you know how to think of your own

desires, let alone other people.”

Xia Ling

Mei stared at him: “Did you suffer hards.h.i.+p these past years?”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng deliberately made her feel guilty, he firmly nodded: “A lot of hards.h.i.+p.”

Xia Ling

Mei exhaled slowly, suddenly she pushed his arms away, proudly raising her

head: “Serve you right, you bought it on yourself.”

This

arrogant and as it should be by rights manner made w.a.n.g Yun Feng happy to the

bottom of his heart, making fun of her: “Placing my suffering above your

happiness, it’s too insincere.”

Xia Ling

Mei clenched her teeth: “You volunteered, you can’t blame me. Stop shedding

crocodile tears pretending to be a gentleman in front of me, be worried that I

will tear apart that dignified skin of yours, let everyone see just how

hard-hearted you are.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng pacifyingly patted her back: “Your worthy to be called mother and son,

both have an unruliness difficult to tame. I’ve made a mistake, wife forgive

this husband, how about it?” His mouth was saying such words begging for mercy,

his expression was unperturbed and calm, where was he admitting his wrong? If

others saw it, they would only think he was only patiently coaxing an

insensible Xia Ling Mei.

Xia Ling

Mei looked at him, pondering over the fact she was just intending to stick up

for her son, how could she in a moment be swayed by his smiling expression,

then feel regretful? Feeling regretful was normal, reflecting on her past

ignorance was also normal, complaining about his manner towards her in the past

was also normal, he told her he regret it, he truly apologises, but how were

his words odd? Clearly he was the one who suffered, but nevertheless she was

feeling sorry; obviously he was the one who had taken every step back, however

it appears she was the one who was overbearing; undoubtedly it was his fault,

instead in the end it felt like she was incorrigibly obstinate and cold.

Knowing and

feeling later, Xia Ling Mei only then discovered, she had been played seemingly

by some sort of crafty person. A burst of green and a burst of white on her

face she was so angry she couldn’t speak a word for a while.

Unwittingly,

her mood was already completely in his control, twisting it around, unable to

throw him off.

Third

ranked senior imperial censor, expectedly was an expert at fiddling with

people’s hearts. Looking at it in this way, in the past he really was lenient

towards Xia Ling Mei. If on the first day they had met again he had used a

tenth of today’s method, Xia Ling Mei would have long ago become a thing within

his pocket, unable to runaway unable to escape.

Perhaps,

even if she was sold off she would still help him count the money? Xia Ling Mei

angrily thought about it.

The two

people tormenting each other, Xia Ling Mei again flying into rage out of

humiliation nevertheless called the bird over.

Xia Ling

Mei knew the meaning behind w.a.n.g Yun Feng wanting to definitely use this bird

to deliver the letter, he needed to tell Xia Ling Mei’s daddy, tell the Xia

family, Xia Ling Mei has once more returned to his side. Her pet, his letter,

were fairly convincing, and also inadvertently remind Xia Ling Mei: you are a

member of the w.a.n.g family, you can no longer run off.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng saw Xia Ling Mei was no longer staring at Xia Fen, he was a bit less

worried.

He also

understood the importance of Xia Fen in Xia Ling Mei’s heart, he himself had

mixed feelings at first when he found out he had a son. There was joy, with a son

the family relations.h.i.+p could no longer break apart again; there was worry, his

son was considerably naughty and mischievous, if he was sent to Beiding City

like this, not talking about bringing honour to the family, other than relying

on the two family’s power to stir up trouble, it would bad for him to do

something wrong. Beiding City is located under the emperor’s eyes, any trivial

matter could implicate a dispute between the influential families and the

imperial court, becoming information that can be used against them by other

people.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng only had one son, if Xia Fen really did do something wrong, no matter what

he would not ask the Xia family to step in, he could only rely on his own

strength to hold up the sky above his son’s head.

Before he

was by himself, even if he had moved Xia Ling Mei’s heart, thinking deeply

about the past of them two the love, regret, pa.s.sion and hate, how much

confidence did he actually lack. The numerous times his plans were frustrated

he had turned a stream filled with pa.s.sion into a cold murmuring stream, apart

from abandoning himself to despair his temper increasingly worsened, anyway no

one cared for him, sincerely protect him with love, it would be better for him

to use all his boldness to work on behalf of the dynasty, help the emperor with

his worries and difficulties, so his mortal life would not be in vain.

Many a

times when he was confronted with a.s.sa.s.sination, he was somewhat faintly

pleased, in death, he would be completely free. He truly could not stand the

emptiness of that full residence, as well as the shadowing loneliness. It had

to happen, when the blade was coming down, in his mind that only night brushed

by, Xia Ling Mei’s face of painful struggle and weeping. He still hadn’t gotten

her forgiveness, he still wanted to see her once again, he… didn’t want to see

her tears again.

If he

really did die, would she cry? Maybe she would be like how she was long ago,

avoiding outsiders, withdrawing by herself under the great ancient tree, unable

to cry.

This Xia

Ling Mei, he couldn’t let her go.

“Xia Fen, who

made you like this?” A sickened shout, disturbed everyone inside and outside

the house.

When w.a.n.g

Yun Feng raised his head from the new report from his subordinates, he saw a

fl.u.s.tered and exasperated Zhuang Sheng in the middle of the courtyard rus.h.i.+ng

into the corridor with Xia Fen in his arms.

Xia Fen

sunburnt chubby bottom looked like two round steamed roll rocking twice, he

extended both hands tightly holding Zhuang Sheng’s neck, his ink covered claws

making the other person’s collar jet-black. Breathing out a heavy sigh out of

his nose, Zhuang Sheng upon seeing this quickly undid his acupuncture point.

Xia Fen

cried out loudly: “Brother Zhuang…Sheng, someone’s bullying me. He won’t let me

eat, forcing me to write the scoundrel’s name, and torn my clothes, allowing

ants to bite the soles of my feet. I’m so hungry, my stomach has shrivelled,

listen to it, isn’t it still rumbling and grumbling? The scoundrel’s name is

long and ugly, he even said if I can’t write it I can’t rest. Don’t worry, I

turned the scoundrel’s name into a b.a.s.t.a.r.d turtle, I added to his name and it

became a turtle, I drew a lot of turtles…”

Everyone’s

foreheads burst out in cold sweat, the Xia family and w.a.n.g family’s guards

could not help glancing at w.a.n.g Yun Feng. Really wanting to remind Xia Fen, if

your father is a huge turtle, then you’re a small turtle, idiot.

Xia Fen

wiggled twice in Zhuang Sheng’s arms, Zhuang Sheng forced himself to stifle his

laughter and tears asking him: “What else?”

Xia Fen

secretly glanced at Ying s.h.i.+ and Xiu Yu by the door, face bright red, his hands

suddenly covering the two red beans on his own chest, rudely saying: “Lecher,

don’t peep at me.”

The two

maids were stared blankly, from his infant chubby cheeks sweeping to his sun

basked like honey peach chest, suddenly realising, they covered their mouths

laughing heartily: “Young master Fen’s own naked body doesn’t know how to be

embarra.s.sed, instead calling us perverted women.”

Ying s.h.i.+

also deliberately said: “Just now, all of us has seen your entire body from top

to bottom, front and back.” Inadvertently shooting a glance below the young

master’s waist, ignoring it: “A small child, it’s nothing special.”

Xia Fen

loudly screamed, one hand covering his chest, one hand going to cover his small

elephant nose, covering his top half he couldn’t cover his bottom half,

covering his bottom half, again his top half was exposed. Originally he didn’t

understand these things, on the wars.h.i.+ps apart from his mother was soldiers and

his general grandfather, everyone went into the sea a lot of times, the

majority of them bared their chests and showed their backs, only where Xia Ling

Mei appears do they drape on an outer garment, those people said, this is

called the difference between men and women. Also he had never seen his

mother’s body, he only vaguely knew mother’s chest was warmer than the

officers, and was softer than the soldiers, he didn’t know what was actually

different. And just now outside, he discovered the maids would secretly look at

him, some took a quick look, he would feel numb from top to bottom unable to

make head or tail of it. Some people when they walked past behind him, he would

feel his naked b.u.t.t somewhat itchy. That’s when he thought of what happened on

the s.h.i.+ps, many times when mother wasn’t there, he went swimming with the

soldiers, numerous times he would compare his small elephant nose between his

thighs with everyone’s, afterwards, without a doubt, his was the smallest.

Everything of his was smaller than everyone’s, especially his small elephant

nose was the smallest amongst everyone’s.

He was

mocked by everyone!

After

coming onsh.o.r.e, Kong Xian also reminded him many times, the principle of

hara.s.sment and the difference between men and women, he didn’t understand it

too well. However after experiencing today, he vaguely felt, uncomfortable all

over being looked at by the maids, he didn’t want everyone to say he was

`small`.

As a

result, he was embarra.s.sed, distressed, angrily covering his own small chest

and small elephant. Oh, even if he’s beaten to death he wouldn’t tell them,

just now outside, ants had crawled over his small elephant nose, boo hoo, he

nearly wet himself.

Seeing the

usual fierce young master’s chaste movements guarding himself with his life,

everyone restrained themselves again restrains, finally they burst out

laughing.

Xia Ling

Mei glanced at w.a.n.g Yun Feng once, afraid he would once more send their son out

into the sun, hurrying over with her arms stretched out: “Come, mother will

take you to put on clothes.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng moved, finally seeing his son in the embrace of Xia Ling Mei, behind Xia

Ling Mei’s back he bared his teeth and claws at him pulling a face. Expression

slightly warm, thinking to himself that he would deal with him once more

shortly.

Unexpectedly,

Zhuang Sheng blocked the mother and son’s path, staring at Xia Ling Mei,

profoundly saying: “A few days before, what you said before about repayment,

does it still hold?”

“Repayment?”

Zhuang

Sheng took a deep breath, saying one word by one word: “I want you to marry

me.”
