Chapter 374: Sweet
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Was Han Qiao a good person?
Doctor Miao thought that he had to observe this woman for himself.
No matter how good his junior brother painted her, it was better to see it with his own eyes.
Tomorrow would be the fifteenth day of the eighth month.
Han Qiao was a little distracted that night.
When she woke up on the fifteenth day, Heng Yi hadn’t returned. Han Qiao was worried that something might have happened to her husband.
She was on tenterhooks and ate very little in the morning. She only ate two bites at lunch.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a happy occasion.
Family reunion, mooncakes, and moon appreciation…
Even with Heng Yi’s absence, Han Qiao tried her best to make herself happy, but the children could still tell that she wasn’t very happy.
The children were very perceptive.
Although Ah-Yao was young, he knew that his mother was unhappy today. He hugged her neck and kissed her again and again.
She pouted and kissed him every now and then.
A kiss later.
Han Qiao looked at him and laughed, “You’re so smart.”
Heng Yi didn’t come back. She was worried about him, but she was more worried that something might have happened to him.
So, she was understandably worried.
Just as the mother and daughter were playing, she heard the neighing of horses coming from outside.
Immediately after, Han Qiao smelled the stench of sweat mixed with a sour smell. A tall figure swiftly walked towards her.
“Stinky, stinky, stinky!” Ah-Yao pinched his nose.
He was disgusted by the stench.
As for Heng Yi, whose face was covered in dust and beard, Ah-Yao didn’t recognize him as his father.
He despised this stranger. Stinky, stinky, stinky.
Han Qiao’s eyes were filled with joy. She wanted to step forward, but Heng Yi avoided her, “I’m very dirty. Don’t dirty your clothes.”
Without Han Qiao’s order, Duan Yue and Shulan ordered people to prepare hot water and clothes for Heng Yi.
Han Qiao handed Ah-Yao to Pucao and asked her to take him to play with Sun Xiu and Sun Yi.
When she entered the bathroom, she saw Heng Yi taking off his clothes.
“Who is it?” Heng Yi said warily.
“It’s me.” Han Qiao said gently.
She went up to take off Heng Yi’s clothes and saw the wound on his back.
Han Qiao was stunned, “You’re hurt,”
“It’s just a small injury. Not a big deal.” Heng Yi held Han Qiao’s hand.
After rushing for three days and two nights, he didn’t even close his eyes. Now that he was home, he was full of energy and excitement.
He rinsed his mouth and let Han Qiao shave his beard.
After cleaning up, he hugged Han Qiao and kissed her lovingly.
The gentleness at the beginning soon turned into deprivation toward the end.
He really missed her and wanted to return to her side.
He became one with her and hugged her.
He made love to her.
At this moment, all his fantasies came true. He was as excited as a young boy.
The two of them were in the bathroom…
A few moans could be heard.
It was quiet at the door. The servant girls had already left.
When the love ended, Han Qiao leaned into Heng Yi’s arms.
Heng Yi kissed her gently, “I miss you. I miss my son.”
“I miss you every night. I can’t sleep.”
“There were a few times when I wanted to run away at the last minute. I didn’t want anything and just ran back to stay by your side at all times.”
Heng Yi’s eyes become glassy.
“But I can’t…”
“The Emperor has high hopes for me, I can’t let him down.”
“Next time, you and Yao can come with me to Sanzhou Town.”
Heng Yi couldn’t leave Han Qiao for too long.
The past month had been too torturous.
“I’ve built a house over there. It’s not very big, but it’s enough for you and Ah-Yao to live in…”
Heng Yi thought of many words to persuade Han Qiao.
Han Qiao gently kissed his lips and whispered gently, “Okay.”
How could she bear to let her husband, who was not good with words, rack his brains to coax her?
Hearing that, Heng Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the houses in Sanzhou Town had been built, the environment was definitely not as good as the big houses in the city. Even the food and drinks were not as sumptuous.
“It’s just that you’ve suffered….”
“Suffer? There were things to do there.” Han Qiao said gently.
With a clear conscience, she ordered Heng Yi to wipe her body and put on her clothes.
She went to seduce him barefooted.
Heng Yi scratched the soles of her feet.
Han Qiao giggled.
The couple played around in bed for a while. Heng Yi saw the red hickeys on Han Qiao’s fair skin, and his heart felt warm.
Han Qiao sat up straight and put on the clothes she had made to prevent her breasts from sagging.
As she was tying the belt, Heng Yi caught her from behind.
He was dawdling around her like a big dog.
Han Qiao kissed him, “If you continue to make a scene, everyone will know what we did in the room.”
“You are my wife.”
Han Qiao raised her eyebrows.
However, she was still feeling warm and happy.
Looking at how anxious he was earlier, he must have been holding back his thoughts about her.
Han Qiao wrapped her arms around his neck, “Let Ah-Yao and Cheng’er sleep at their sisters’ place tonight.”
Heng Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded.
“Do you miss your son?” Han Qiao asked and instructed him to get her clothes.
“Yes. I’ll hug him more later.” Heng Yi brought Han Qiao some clothes.
After Li Mi took care of the house, the clothes and fabrics she bought for everyone were different from before.
It was gorgeous, but at the same time, it was especially thin and airy, making it comfortable to wear.
Han Qiao’s outfits were all made of silk, which made her look especially elegant.
Heng Yi went out for a while and came back with a brocade box.
Only then did Han Qiao remember that when he returned, he was carrying a big bag.
Heng Yi opened the brocade box and revealed a pink jade hairpin.
It was cool to the touch and gleamed under the light.
“It’s from my subordinate.”
Han Qiao raised her eyebrows.
She tied her hair into a bun and asked Heng Yi to insert the jade hairpin into her hair.
“There’s more.”
Heng Yi took out the same bracelet, earring, and Ruyi pendant.
“I say, your brocade box is quite good at storing things.”
He put on the bracelet, earrings, and pendant.
Han Qiao had even specially applied some rouge and lipstick, making her look energetic. She was already seventy percent colored, and now she looked extremely beautiful.
“Does it look good?”
Heng Yi was a little dazed.
He nodded vigorously, “Yes.”
Han Qiao glanced at him coquettishly. When she got up, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Heng Yi quickly reached out to support her.
Han Qiao punched him a few times before holding his hand.
The maids and old women were responsible for cleaning the room, while Han Qiao and Heng Yi went to look for the children.
From afar, she could hear Ah-Yao barking like a dog. When she walked in, she saw that he was chasing after Cheng’er’s big yellow dog.
The big yellow dog was mischievous, jumping around and teasing him.
“Ah-Yao,” Heng Yi called out.
Ah-Yao stopped and looked over. He was stunned for a while before he recognized the man beside her, “Father!”
He shouted happily and ran towards Heng Yi.
Heng Yi reached out and hugged him, kissing him again and again.
“Father!”
“Yes.”
“Hot, hot!”
Han Qiao laughed.
This child had Heng Yi under control.
Heng Yi took out a fan and fanned him. He happily played while asking Heng Yi to fan him.
Heng Yi doted on his child. He would do whatever Yao wanted him to. He followed him around and fanned the child.
At first, Ah-Yao felt comfortable, but soon, he felt that Heng Yi was blocking his way.
“Father! Go, go, eat, eat!”
Heng Yi was obviously being given the cold shoulder.
Han Qiao covered her mouth and laughed..
