His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

"Don’t worry! I can ask Ning jie’s help. Her skill is quite good, so I can teach her a little bit to reduce my workload," Yao Ling said. She grinned at him, "I’m doing this for you. So... what will you give me for an exchange?"

Yao Ying stared at her mischievous look and twinkling eyes, knowing that she was joking. Her playful side looked so endearing to him and a smile graced his lips. "Oh... what kind of presents that my little wifey wants?"

"Hmpf! You have to be creative and think about it yourself! I want it to be a surprise... a... surprise!" Yao Ling acted spoiled, unlike her usual graceful behavior. In front of Yao Ying, she behaved more openly about her feelings.

Yao Ying laughed. "Since when you act cutely like this?" He pinched her nose, which earned a pout from Yao Ling.

"I will give you something that you enjoy later," Yao Ying smiled mischievously while whispering softly on Yao Ling’s ears. He didn’t forget to nibble her ears for a little bit, making Yao Ling’s ears reddened. ’This man! He always behaves like a rouge! This is Fu Rong! Not their own house!’ Yao Ling complained inwardly.

Yao Ling pushed him away and touched the part that he had nibbled on like it was burning her. "Stop doing an ambiguous thing in the broad daylight!" Yao Ling scolded him, but he didn’t feel any remorse at all! Instead, he smiled wolfishly.

"No one is here and I’m just tasting my wife for a little bit. What is wrong with that?" Yao Ying grinned sheepishly at the panicked woman in front of him. The way Yao Ling touched her ears with an indignant face made her look like a little rabbit.

’Shameless! Really really shameless! Where does his unexpressive husband go?’ Yao Ling berated him inside her mind.

Yao Ling remembered back at the time when they lived with Jiu Lan in the village. The first time she found him, Yao Ying never showed any of his emotions and went into depression, making her feel sad for him. But looking at the current Yao Ying, he felt way too different from back then, but actually in a good way. He was more relaxed than before, smiling more, laughing more, and... loving her more? Did she dare to say that he loved her?

Yes, he was indeed more intimate with her, but did it mean that he loved her? She realized that she had become greedier and wanted him to love her. After the appearance of Qin Xiu Ai who had coveted Yao Ying and the hua lou incident, she started to analyze their relationship and realize her feelings more.

If she didn’t have any feelings toward him, would she feel jealous when Qin Xiu Ai fell on top of him? If she didn’t have any feeling toward him, would she feel the pain in her heart when she heard about the hua lou incident? If she didn’t have any feelings toward him, would she still cared when he was sick or when he was in deep trouble?

The answer is no... If she didn’t have any feelings for him, she wouldn’t feel all of those emotions. She would just take advantage of him instead of caring about him. She started to come in term with her own feelings... yes... she loves him with all her heart. However, telling him about this probably wouldn’t be a good idea. She must be sure of his feelings first.

Yao Ling sighed and answered Yao Ying, "Nothing is wrong if you put it that way! But the place is wrong ah~ This is not our own bedroom! It will be... too... too immoral!" Yao Ling covered her face with both of her hands in embarrassment.

"Oh okay... so in other words... it will be fine as long as we do it in our bedroom, right?" Yao Ying started to behave playfully once again. It seemed like he got her permission to do as he wished inside their own bedroom.

Yao Ling groaned, knowing that she couldn’t run away from this topic! "Yes... yes... as long as we do it in the bedroom, I’m fine with it!" Yao Ling tried to appease him by saying that, but she didn’t actually take it to heart. It was better than being pounced by him right here! What if someone came in? It would be embarrassing to death!

Yao Ying nodded gleefully, after getting the answer that he wanted to hear. "I will hold you on that," Yao Ying smugly said. Somehow, Yao Ling could feel a chill on her spine and felt like she was falling into Yao Ying’s trap. Could she take back what she had said? She could only groan inwardly.

"Ying... the fabric for the inner part... have you already gotten it?" Yao Ling asked curiously. She thought that it was better to distract him with work-related discussion, so he could become more serious. She wasn’t as shameless as him!

"I did. I actually wanted to give it for you as a replacement for yours, but it seems like you have to wait for a little bit. I actually bought a lot, but we still don’t know how grand and long the Empress’ robe is. So there might be a chance that you won’t get this fabric for now," Yao Ying explained, feeling sorry for his wife. He knew how much she loved this fabric!

Yao Ling sighed in disappointment, but oh well... she could just wait for the next batch. This matter was important for Yao Ying, so she should wait patiently then. It wasn’t like she didn’t have a backup inner garment. She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why did you buy a lot? I only need it for an inner garment. There’s no other use for that fabric other than for that. It will be too pricey to sell it as inner garments."

Yao Ying smiled at her wickedly. "Oh... you know why... it’s because of you."

"Huh?" Yao Ling was in confusion. Because of her? Why?

Yao Ying smiled. "I’m afraid that you will be angry with me if I don’t have a backup for you. After all, I’m planning to tear a lot more of your inner garment in the future."

Yao Ling, "..."

Yao Ying continued talking, "If I tear one, you can just make a new one, right?" He looked at her smugly, making Yao Ling more speechless. If he put it that way... then wouldn’t she have to make her own inner garments every day?!

How could he say something like that without blushing and batting eyelashes? The man really didn’t hesitate to release his shamelessness to the max. Yao Ling could only mumble while rolling her eyes in annoyance, "Whatever you say."

Yao Ying, who felt like he had already won the battle, was nodding arrogantly. Yao Ling could only shake her head and give up. Being the wife of a shameless person really brought a headache to her. Haiya~

When they were in the middle of bantering, Xiao Yu asked permission to come in. Yao Ling allowed her to and Xiao Yu quickly gave her the Empress’ measurement. "Master’s personal servant gave me this. He said that we should make the robe first because the embroidery pattern is still on the way." Xiao Yu explained.

Ah... so it meant that they were approved to make this robe then...

Yao Ling nodded, "Good! It will save us time." Then she turned to Yao Ying and said, "Ying, I’m going to start working on this first. You can go back home first! I think it will take a lot of my time and I can’t go back early to Wang Fu."

While talking to Yao Ying, her eyes were still glued to the rough draft of the robe and she was in awe at how grand it was. She really didn’t understand the mind of the royal family. This kind of robe could feed a few towns for a whole year, but what else could she do? She just shook her head in amazement, but still needed to dutifully do her job.

Yao Ying saw her serious expressions and couldn’t help but find her adorable. He smiled dotingly and said, "You don’t have to mind me. I will just stay here and I won’t distract you. I bet you will forget about dinner, so I can be at your service here and will buy dinner for you later. For now, I just want to watch you work." The wifey was working hard for him, how could he just lazily stay inside their Wang Fu without doing anything?

Yao Ling nodded, even though she was feeling shy because of his presence, she said nothing. She happily received his offer, because they could spend more time together.

"If you need any help, just ask me," Yao Ying offered his assistance.

Yao Ling laughed. "Your presence here will be enough." Yao Ling said truthfully, after all, they usually only spent the night time together.

Yao Ling told Xiao Yu to tell Ning jie to come and help her, while Yao Ying told Xiu to prepare the fabrics for Yao Ling. They did it without being obvious to the others. For the fabric, it was easy to cover it up, because it was already widely known in Fu Rong that Young Master was specifically buying them in a bulk for Young Mistress. When the fabrics were being carried away from the warehouse, they only thought that the young mistress would make an inner garment out of it, so they didn’t really pay any attention to it.

They stayed cooped up in the office, after all, the second floor was the place where Yao Ling did custom or special orders for their clients. Yao Ying looked at the women and couldn’t help but feel bewildered about the complicated works that they did for just one robe. Creating a pattern, cutting the fabric, stitching... He was quite proud of his wife for being able to master those skills perfectly. She did it all with ease and even doing it while humming, showing Yao Ying how much she enjoyed doing her jobs.

The funny thing was... she was sighing from time to time when touching her favorite fabric that she had sacrificed for the greater good. She still felt a bit unwilling to part with the fabric. Yao Ying chuckled inwardly and promised himself that he had to find more of those fabrics just to satisfy his wife.

When he knew it was Hai Shi (modern timing: 9pm-11pm), Yao Ying reminded Yao Ling that it was time to go home. "Ling-er, why don’t you stop for the day?"
