Chapter 589: Chapter 589 Mutual Admiration_1

"You don’t need him to accept..."

Listening to Xiao Changyi say this, An Jing found every word pleasant to hear and sweet to her heart, no matter how she listened.

"I just need you to accept me, right?" An Jing hugged Xiao Changyi’s waist, tilted her little face upward, and playfully smiled as she asked.

Xiao Changyi actually nodded, "Mhm."

"When did you accept me?"

"The first moment I met you."

An Jing immediately praised him, "Husband, you really are bold, not even afraid that I could be some demon or ghost, and you just fancied me like that."

Xiao Changyi said indifferently, "I used to fear nothing."

Fearing not even death, what else was there to be afraid of... An Jing felt a pang of heartache, tightened her grip around Xiao Changyi’s waist, yet still asked with a smiling face, "How come I sense that you now have fears?"

"Mhm."

"Afraid of what?"

"Afraid of not being able to grow old with you."

No sooner had Xiao Changyi finished speaking than An Jing tiptoed and sealed his lips with hers.

After the two exchanged a kiss, An Jing then looked at him and smiled, saying, "If we can grow old together, that would of course be wonderful. If we cannot, not only should we be together in life, but we should also die together."

The implication was quite clear; if he were gone, she would never live on alone.

Now that they had the bond of children, his wife still felt this way about him, showing not a single drop of her love for him diminished because of the children. Xiao Changyi’s heart swelled with sweetness, and his usually cool lips curved into a smile as he said, "I feel the same."

If you leave before me, I—will never live on alone!

An Jing said nothing, only wrapping her arms around his neck and smiling at him.

Xiao Changyi did not say anything more; instead, he hugged An Jing’s waist, bowed his head, and pressed his lips to hers.

Feeling the softness on her lips, An Jing closed her eyes with a smile and kissed Xiao Changyi deeply and tenderly.

Meanwhile, she thought to herself: I know I am your life, but you are also mine.

...

The next day was the auspicious one hundred-day celebration for An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s four sons.

Su Chengyu had already delivered gifts for the four children to An Jing and Xiao Changyi the day before, and he also brought gifts from the Emperor of Xiyun for the children, which he handed over to them as well.

Li Wuyu, Wang Youbao, and Shi Xiaolan had also prepared gifts and came to congratulate them.

Upon seeing Su Chengyu, Li Wuyu was so frightened that he wanted to kneel down and perform a grand salute to Su Chengyu, the Crown Prince, but An Jing, quick-witted and discreet, prevented him from doing so to avoid revealing everyone’s identity.

Even so, An Jing introduced him, saying, "Wuyu, Youbao, Xiao Lan, this is my husband’s sworn brother Yu Chengsu, whom we met in the Imperial Capital during our trip to the capital. The capital is too far from here; he could not catch up to drink at Jing’er’s one-month celebration, so he could only attend Jing’er’s hundred-day celebration."

With the Crown Prince using an alias, it was clear that she was not to reveal his identity, so Li Wuyu had no choice but to refrain from giving Su Chengyu the grand salute.

As soon as Wang Youbao entered, he saw the stranger in the room—Su Chengyu. Noticing Su Chengyu’s elegant jade-like demeanor, splendid bearing, and fine clothing, he understood that Su Chengyu must come from a notable family.

With An Jing’s introduction, the courteous Wang Youbao clasped his hands and politely said, "Master Yu, I have long heard of you, I am Wang Youbao."

Su Chengyu had heard of Wang Youbao from An Jing and knew that he was a merchant skilled in making money. He had not expected Wang Youbao to be so handsome and young, and even his movements showed the grace of a gentleman.
