Chapter 762: Chapter 761: Su Pan’er’s resentment!_1
Hearing about eating, Little Yanyan stopped fussing.
Instead, she reached out to grab her bowl, making baby noises. For a moment, the house was lively.
Watching Qin Yi stare at the celery in his bowl with a deep-seated resentment, Ye Han realized that Qin Yi didn’t like celery. Indeed, a bedmate knows their partner’s preferences best, right down to which vegetables they don’t like.
Ye Han shook his head in amusement, picked up his half glass of wine, and took a small sip.
The wine slid down his throat, making his heart ache with its chill.
Ye Han was a man of his word!
After returning home that night, for the next few days, he continually sent many nice things to Little Yanyan.
All of these items were exquisite and valuable, making Su Pan’er’s eyelids twitch, unsure of how to handle them.
Su Huarong, who had recently traveled to Yongzhou Prefecture, did not forget to send various novel items to Little Yanyan via the postal relay station. The value might not compete with the gifts from Ye Han, but they won in their intricacy and thoughtfulness.
Mrs. Zhang also visited again, bringing with her a niece from her maiden family. She apologized for not taking good care of Su Pan’er that day, making Su Pan’er a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke Hwa, also visited with her two daughters-in-law. They couldn’t help giving a few nice things upon seeing Little Yanyan being so cute and well-behaved.
Plenty of people from Chang’an City who tended to curry favor also came over, but many were stopped by the gatekeeper.
Although these people were denied entry, they left behind many gifts.
Because Qin Yi’s family only had one daughter, the gifts for Little Yanyan quickly piled up like a mountain.
After spending much effort sorting through them, Su Pan’er couldn’t help saying to Qin Yi, "All these things people have sent over, especially those jade, pearls, and coral agates Brother Ye gave to Yanyan, aren’t these beyond what a child her size can play with?"
Qin Yi was reading a military book and, without looking up, said, "Why can’t she play with them? Didn’t you say there were pearls? If you spill the pearls on the floor for her to play marbles with, wouldn’t that be it?"
From the day Ye Han instilled in Qin Yi the idea that a girl should be brought up in wealth, Qin Yi had specifically sought out Ye Han for advice. Qin Yi also brought back several nannies, intending to raise Little Yanyan like a privileged lady. The material provisions were extravagant.
"Pearls can be played as marbles?"
Su Pan’er widened her eyes in anger, "Yanyan is still so small, what if she puts a pearl in her mouth and swallows it? What if it gets stuck? Haven’t you thought of that?"
Qin Yi finally looked up from his book, "Right! The pearls are easy to get stuck. No, we must hurry and store these in the warehouse. You could open a small warehouse for Yanyan to spare her from putting something in her mouth out of ignorance."
Su Pan’er rolled her eyes. The main point of her conversation with him was not this, right?
However, after thinking it over, she did as Qin Yi suggested and opened a separate warehouse for little Yanyan, where she stowed all the valuable items.
Looking back to see Qin Yi engrossed in his military book again, she marched over, snatched the book from his hands, suddenly held his face, staring into his eyes. She seriously looked at him!
"Tell me, do you also think that a girl should just embroider flowers, take care of children, and manage housework in the inner courtyards?"
Qin Yi was engrossed in his book, but seeing Su Pan’er’s seriousness, he sighed, pulling his attention from the book.
"Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"
"What do you mean, ’this’? You said that you’re going to raise Yanyan into a well-bred lady. I am Yanyan’s mother. If I don’t fight for her, who will?"
"What are you fighting for her?"
Qin Yi felt a throbbing headache.
"Obviously I’m fighting for..."
She paused for a moment, then vigorously pinched his cheeks: "What do you mean by fighting for? Of course, it’s for her freedom! What if, in the future, she’s not cut out to be a lady of the house, and, just like me, she has natural godlike strength and likes to dance with guns. How would you deal with that?"
Qin Yi felt a bit helpless, he turned his head to escape from Su Pan’er’s hand, and randomly tousled her hair.
"Well then let her dance with guns! I’m just a scholar and I still love to dance with guns. In the officialdom, I understand what etiquette and rules I should have. What’s wrong with that?"
"Excellency in both literature and military?"
There was a sparkle in Su Pan’er’s eyes!
Qin Yi once again picked up his book on military tactics, glanced at her, and said, "If she wants to learn both, then we will teach her well. If she doesn’t want to learn anything, I, Qin Yi, would never force her."
"Hmph! She doesn’t need to know anything when she’s at her maiden family, but what if she’s despised by her in-laws? Are you planning to support her for the rest of her life, letting her be an old maid in the house?"
Su Pan’er was still filled with concern.
"Rest assured! If I could accept your personality and never despised you, no one would despise our little Yan Yan."
Qin Yi said proudly, "Besides, if she doesn’t want to get married, then she can stay. I, Qin Yi, can afford her!"
Although Qin Yi was not filthy rich, he had enough to keep Yan Yan well-fed and clothed for her whole life!
Su Pan’er moved her lips, still looking unsatisfied: "If she really stays at home as an old maid, wouldn’t she be the laughingstock of others!"
"You..."
Qin Yi felt utterly helpless: "Yan Yan is not even one year old yet, and you’re already worried about her entire life. Don’t you find yourself worrying needlessly? She’s still so small, let her have a happy childhood! That’s better than anything else!"
With that, a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Su Pan’er suddenly remembered what he had once mentioned about his unpleasant childhood. She suddenly understood the meaning behind Qin Yi’s words.
At the moment, Yan Yan was still young, nothing was more important than giving little Yan Yan a happy childhood!
All of a sudden, she felt as if her whole world had brightened up, knowing what she had to do!
Her wound is almost healed, and it’s time to move on with some things.
On this day, Qin Yi stayed home instead of attending court, fully absorbed in the book in his hands.
Su Pan’er was lying beside him on the chaise lounge, seeming a bit uncontent, wearing only a thin spring tunic that accentuated her slim and delicate waist.
Unable to resist, she turned over again, taking on an even more enticing and appealing posture trying to gain the attention of the man with the book.
But the figure behind the book was still immersed in it, not sparing a single glance her way.
"My lord––"
Su Pan’er intentionally drew out her words.
"Hm?"
The man behind the book answered succinctly.
"My lord–– look..."
Trying to catch his attention, Su Pan’er called out in a deliberately coquettish voice.
