In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 1390: Chapter 26: Setting Sail (26)

Qin Shuan’er’s emotions were like a roller coaster ride—from the initial anxiety to the final gratification, the thrill of happiness was simply indescribable!

Her sprained ankle also fully recovered. When she learned about the Zhang Family’s misfortune, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of sorrow for others.

On the day when Zhang Zhongding left Shengjing, Qin Shuan’er also went to the city gate to see him off. But she only watched him from afar, without letting him notice her, nor did she speak to him.

At the end of April, Qin Shuan’er and Su Ke got engaged.

Qin Shuan’er had been on tenterhooks, terrified that Lei Yu would show up and cause trouble.

After all, when she first sprained her ankle, she was forced to stay at the Qin Mansion to recover, and in the process, she was good company for her third auntie, chatting to relieve her boredom.

But as soon as Su Ke left the Qin Mansion, Lei Yu immediately clung to him. Worse still, Su Ke left to confront Zhang Zhongding, and his whereabouts were exposed several times because of that. Ultimately, Lei Yu’s actions even endangered Su Ke’s life, nearly resulting in his death, before he returned to the capital, utterly disheartened.

Because of this, when everyone returned to the capital, Academician Lei even came knocking on their door to apologize on behalf of Lei Yu. During that time, he also brought up his marriage to Lei Yu.

Had it not been for Su Ke’s steadfast refusal to budge, there would not be this engagement banquet with him today.

Fortunately, it was all in the past!

What Qin Shuan’er did not know was that the night before their engagement, Lei Yu actually went out of his way to block Su Ke’s way home on his return journey.

"Why? Give me a convincing reason. Why is it her?"

Lei Yu could never have expected that she and Miss Hanmei would fight to the death, inflicting mutual destruction, and even going as far as to damage oneself to attack the enemy a thousand times over, only to have closely watched that object of her desire ultimately be poached by Qin Shuan’er, the Cheng Yaojin who emerged halfway through.

How could this not make her upset and heartbroken?

"Why can’t it be her? Liking someone doesn’t need any reason. Liking is just liking, and those you don’t like, no matter how much effort you put in, you won’t come to like them."

Su Ke’s reply was indifferent, and he couldn’t help but persuade her, "Miss Lei, with your family circumstances, what kind of talented young man can’t you have? To you, I, Su Ke, am nothing more than a trinket worth fighting over! Once the novelty wears off, it’s like a discarded shoe. Why bother?"

"You’re not me. How do you know I’d throw it away?"

Lei Yu retorted bitterly and wanted to continue, but Su Ke’s gaze painfully stabbed her heart, silencing any more words she had.

Su Ke was truly fed up with such entangling days.

"Junior sister, out of respect for our mentor who has taught me for many years, I have repeatedly been tolerant towards you. Otherwise, just based on what you’ve done, if I really wanted to hold a grudge, not even our mentor could save you."

That disdainful gaze stung Lei Yu’s eyes.

She slightly opened her mouth but remained silent.

Her thoughts raced, and suddenly a person came to mind: "Was it you who sabotaged Miss Hanmei? You..."

Originally Miss Hanmei and she were engaged in a back-and-forth struggle like playing Tai Chi, but unexpectedly one day Miss Hanmei suddenly disappeared and never showed up again.

Lei Yu initially thought that Miss Hanmei had given up on Su Ke and returned to the capital on her own. However, after secretly investigating upon her return, Lei Yu discovered that ever since Miss Hanmei left the capital, she had never returned.

As Su Ke suddenly brought this topic up, she instantly remembered Hanmei...

"Do not ask about things you are not supposed to know. It’s not good for you. Just take care of yourself!"

Su Ke looked at her deeply and left with long strides.

Lei Yu’s face continuously changed between shades of green and white, but the outcome showed that this conversation was very effective. Their engagement proceeded smoothly.

In June of the same year, Qin Shuan’er and Su Ke were finally joyfully married, fulfilling both of their wishes.

After the wedding, the couple was dearly in love, provoking envy in others.

On the other side, there was happy news from Su Xian’er too!

Ten years after Su Xian’er’s marriage to Lui Muyi, they finally announced the joyful news that Su Xian’er was pregnant!

Su Xian’er’s pregnancy was exhilarating news for the sparsely populated Lui Family. Lui Ming was so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling, personally sending a large group of female servants and maidservants to attend to Su Xian’er’s diet and daily life, taking care of her thoroughly.

Just as Su Pan’er was rejoicing for Lui Muyi, Lui Muyi suddenly entered the palace, for matters concerning The Maritime Silk Road. The voyage across the ocean naturally required the right people. In charge of this matter, Su Huarong was troubled about whom to send to lead the task. Unfortunately, at this time, Lui Muyi, this unfortunate child, volunteered to take on this difficult task.

The news soon reached Su Pan’er’s ears, and afterward, Lui Muyi was summoned to enter the palace.

"Big Brother Lui, I’ve heard that you plan to personally escort goods adrift at sea? Once at sea, isn’t life and death out of your own control? Speaking of which, now that Su Xian’er is pregnant, how can she be left without someone by her side? You might as well stay, and perhaps next time..."

"Pan’er, there’s no need to persuade me. My mind is made up!"

Lui Muyi was determined to leave: "Her... her being pregnant now, that’s truly great! My parents are looking forward to the birth of the child; with the two of them taking care of a pregnant woman, there will be no problems. As for going to sea, I’ve also heard about the rules on the ship. Fourth sister, don’t worry, I will surely return safely."

But Su Pan’er could see further and understand more. She knew that once at sea, it was not something that could be simply explained by Su Ke in just a few words.

"Big Brother Lui, you don’t understand the terror of the sea. It... what I mean to say is, the sea is merciless. You now have a family, a child, and your own career, why struggle for that slim chance of success? How about this, you don’t have to deal with it, I’ll go and speak to His Majesty for you, ask him to find someone else!"

For The Maritime Silk Road, Su Huarong had already dived in deep. Seeing Lui Muyi about to do the same, she decided on the spot to pull him back, but Lui Muyi’s mind was set as firm as iron, and he insisted on going.

Lui Muyi repeatedly emphasized his desire to go, but he couldn’t reveal the real reason to Su Pan’er. The reason he was leaving was that he was tired of his current life.

He once naively believed that he wasn’t greedy and thought it was enough to just watch the woman he loved live a worry-free life, sitting in a high position, happily and safely. But suddenly, he had an epiphany! Especially after Su Xian’er got pregnant, it strengthened his resolution to leave!

Now that the Lui Family had a future heir, even if he truly perished in the vast ocean, he would have no regrets!

"He wants to go, so just let him go!"

Qin Yi understood his heart and persuaded Su Pan’er: "A man needs to carry responsibilities to achieve great things. Since he wants to leave, let him break new ground. Who knows, he might carve out his own piece of the world."

There is only one Su Pan’er!

Qin Yi would never sympathize with the other side, trying to persuade Su Pan’er.

Half a month later, Lui Muyi and his people finally set sail, heading towards an unknown future.
