The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 241

After sending Li Ling to the south, Li Xian and Xu Wanning also embarked on a journey to Jiangdong to pay their birthday wishes.

It is the most convenient way to travel from central Beijing to Jiangnan, and this is the first time for the two to travel far together in so many years of marriage.

In March of Yangchun, the world is full of spring.Li Xian stood at the bow of the boat, and the boundless and vast river dissipated his frustration of being frustrated in his official career, but it gave him a bit of youthful spirit in the middle-aged man.

Dressed in a plain brocade, he lightly slapped his palm with the jade bone fan in his hand, and chanted: "The road is difficult, the road is difficult, and there are many divergent roads. Where is it now? There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break. Hang the clouds and sail directly to help the sea."

"The sun is coming to an end, you don't mind the cold, what are you talking about here?" Xu Wanning came out of the cabin, rolled her eyes at Li Xian, and complained.

Li Xian turned around and pulled his wife over, pointing to the golden river surface illuminated by the setting sun, and sighed: "If you don't have a panoramic view of such a magnificent mountain and river, wouldn't you be disappointed?"

Xu Wanning shook off Li Xian's hand: "You'd better stay here and enjoy the scenery with the cold wind, I don't think it's cold."

As she said that, Xu Wanning twisted her waist and wanted to go back to the warehouse, but Li Xianqiang hugged her: "It's so boring to be bored in the warehouse. Let's watch the sunset and enjoy the rolling water, okay?"

Xu Wanning broke away from Li Xian with a cold face, and replied angrily: "I don't care about watching these things, you can watch it yourself."

After all, Xu Wanning ignored Li Xian's persuasion and went into the warehouse.

Along the way, Li Xian showed kindness to his wife in every possible way, but Xu Wanning showed no sympathy. The two children were not around, so Xu Wanning simply became impatient with perfunctory.

Although Li Xian was very unhappy with his wife treating each other like this, he also understood that it was his own fault that made his wife feel cold in the first place.So no matter how cold Xu Wanning treated him, Li Xian didn't dare to lose his temper, and kept smiling all day long.

After Xu Wanning left, Li Xian was alone on the deck looking at the river surface dyed by the setting sun. The scenery was magnificent and intoxicating, but he suddenly felt that it was meaningless.

Li Xian turned around in disinterest, and walked towards the cabin.

Xu Wanning was kneeling and sitting on the couch in the cabin, drinking tea by herself, when she saw Li Xian coming in, she said calmly without raising her head, "Why don't you blow the cool breeze at the bow?"

Li Xian took off his shoes, walked onto the couch, knelt and sat opposite Xu Wanning, poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at his wife and raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Madam is worried that I will catch a cold, how can I not accept it as a husband."

Xu Wanning raised her eyes and gave him a blank look, and said with a cold snort, "You're going to pretend to be sentimental."

Li Xian picked up the teapot and filled the teacup in front of his wife, Xu Wanning was not polite, picked up the teacup and drank carefully.

Li Xian also took a few sips of tea. He put down the teacup, changed a comfortable position and leaned on the soft pillow on the couch, carefully sizing up his wife.

Xu Wanning noticed Li Xian's gaze, she raised her eyes and gave him a cold and gouged look, and said displeasedly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Xian replied: "I don't believe it's just me being sentimental, and I don't believe that you don't have any affection for me."

Xu Wanning put down the teacup, perhaps because she was a little sullen, the teacup fell on the table, spilling a little tea.

She glanced at Li Xian lightly, and said with a cold face: "If it is said that I have no affection for you, it is not entirely true, but this affection is also because of the children, because the family respects me and loves me." For the sake of my elders and younger brothers and sisters. As for the affection for you as a husband and wife, since you said you wanted to reconcile with me, there has been nothing at all."

Hearing Xu Wanning's heartless words, Li Xian's face was slumped, his eyes drooped, and he didn't know what to say.

After Xu Wanning took the cloth and wiped off the tea stains on the table, she left Li Xian and went to bed alone.

It was still early at this moment, so naturally she couldn't fall asleep, so Xu Wanning was lying on her side on the bed, squinting her eyes and resting her mind.

Li Xian's only son sat on the couch on the ground.

The husband and wife fell into a terrible silence again.The last rays of the setting sun faded, and the cabin dimmed.

Li Xian looked at the back of his wife and asked in a murmur, "Then what should I do so that you will forgive me?"

Xu Wanning squinted her eyes and replied: "You don't have to do anything for me, no matter what you do, I won't forgive you, let's just make do with it for the sake of the child, you will be here in the future I won't stop her from taking her daughter, and I won't make trouble with you like before, you can be with whoever you want."

She paused, then continued: "It's just that no matter how much you dote on those women, I only have one request, and that is not to let those women ride on my head. If you feel that you have wronged your sweetheart like this, wait until the children grow up Finally, I will take the initiative to give way and fulfill you."

Because Xu Wanning planned this in his heart, he spoke very calmly this time.

Li Xian sat on the couch in silence for a long time, and the cabin fell into dead silence again.

Xu Wanning was about to fall asleep when she suddenly felt someone approaching her. She opened her eyes vigilantly and saw that it was Li Xian. She subconsciously gathered up her pajamas and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"I saw that you fell asleep without a quilt, so come here and help you cover it. It's cold on the boat at night, so be careful of catching a cold." As he spoke, Li Xian stretched out his hand and tore off the quilt from Xu Wanning's feet. He was about to help Xu Wanning cover her body , but was snatched by Xu Wanning.

"I'll do it myself, so I don't need to bother you." After leaving these words, Xu Wanning turned sideways again.

Although Li Xian has always been dissatisfied with Xu Wanning's temper, after experiencing this change, he really lost her heart now, Li Xian only feels that his heart is empty every day, as if there is no hope for the days.

Standing on the ground, he stared blankly at his wife's back, and said, "I will never accept another woman from now on. You just won't forgive me for the rest of your life. I'll wait for you for the rest of your life."

Xu Wanning was completely chilled by Li Xian. Even if she cared about him occasionally, it was because of her personality, and she pitied him for being so sick. The second was that she was looking at the child's face, and she couldn't bear to let the young child because of his illness. It's just sad for adults.

Love is love, and if you don't love, you really don't love.

A straightforward person like Xu Wanning is impatient to be hypocritical with someone who has already been thrown out of his mind. After hearing Li Xian's words, he just changed the topic and said: "I will arrive in Huaiyin tomorrow. The water bandits are infested, and the second brother asked us to stop at Huaiyin and wait for uncle to send someone to pick us up."

Freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and the knot in the wife's heart cannot be resolved in a day or two.

Seeing his wife's reluctance to talk about it, Li Xian didn't bother with the matter, and just followed Xu Wanning's topic and replied: "We will dock tomorrow morning to wait for uncle's people, don't worry, we have Guard, besides, even if there is danger, I will protect you."

Xu Wanning snorted coldly, and thought to herself: In case of danger, it's not sure who will protect whom.
