Chapter 261 Apology and Reconciliation
"No wonder you came back so early, they actually dragged you into this." Fan Qingyin was almost laughing in anger. When he heard Jiang Yu talk about what happened in the Forest Empire, all he could think was whether those people were crazy.
He was certainly not completely ignorant; he knew something about the messy state of the Forest Empire's royal family. But he never expected that Jiang Yu, who was just a guest, would almost be implicated.
"Thanks to Kong Yiche, his attitude gave me a lot of signals, so I made my escape as soon as possible," Jiang Yu said while flipping through information about the commercial district.
"If I stay there, it might actually get me involved with Xin Xin. Although it might be narcissistic of me, I feel that neither the King nor the Regent of the Forest Empire are normal people."
“That’s right, staying away is the best course of action.” Fan Qingyin sat down next to Jiang Yu and helped her neatly stack the documents she had read. She was thinking about Kong Yiche.
Only now did he truly believe that Moya's involvement was both necessary and correct. With Moya by Jiang Yu's side, at least he no longer had to worry about Jiang Yu's safety.
Jiang Yu suddenly rested her head on his shoulder and suggested on a whim, "Qingyin, let's go have some alone time!"
"?" Fan Qingyin paused, her mind immediately wandering, her fair face flushing red: "Now...now?"
"What?! Are you thinking the wrong thing?! What are you thinking?!" Jiang Yu pushed him irritably: "I want to go with you to visit the nearby counties."
“How about we hand over all the work to Moya? You can hold one more blessing ceremony, and then we’ll set off.” Jiang Yu raised her hands and hugged her husband’s neck.
Fan Qingyin snapped out of her reverie and quickly understood Jiang Yu's meaning: "Xiao Yu wants to go to the surrounding counties to scout things out, to see how the merchants who submitted their lists are doing, and maybe even visit the big merchants who are still observing and have no intention of participating?"
“Hmm, nothing can be hidden from Qingyin.” Jiang Yu pouted: “If you want to revitalize commerce, it’s not enough for just Hollandpur County to get moving. The best and most practical way is to work with the surrounding counties.”
She shook Fan Qingyin's hand and said coquettishly, "Although it's a work plan, if you come with me, we can also go on a trip around the area. Qingyin, I've never gone out alone with you before."
“Alright, everything will be as you say.” Fan Qingyin kissed Jiang Yu affectionately. “There’s nothing to worry about with Moya taking over all the affairs. I’ll make the arrangements, and we’ll set off no later than next week.”
"Great!" Jiang Yu clapped his hands. "Then I'll have time to make a detailed travel plan. I'll also draft a list of the people accompanying me. I need to meet with Mr. Halbus again; he's very knowledgeable, so I need to ask him what gifts to bring. I can't go on a visit empty-handed."
Seeing Jiang Yu about to slip away again after speaking, Fan Qingyin grabbed him and pulled him into her arms.
He couldn't resist kissing Jiang Yu's ear, and watching his wife's face flush instantly, he let out a soft, pleasurable laugh.
"Even though I misunderstood, can't Xiaoyu grant my wish too?"
As if a string in her mind had suddenly snapped, Jiang Yu looked up blankly and first saw the Adam's apple moving up and down unconsciously as it swallowed, then the slightly smiling, alluring lips, the slightly trembling nostrils, and a pair of seductive eyes.
Besides the pounding of her heart, Jiang Yu felt as if her five senses had been amplified in an instant, becoming extremely sensitive.
The icy, snowy fragrance emanating from Fan Qingyin almost enveloped and overwhelmed her. The scent, which usually smelled calming and aloof, was now nothing short of an aphrodisiac that awakened one's inner desires.
Jiang Yu felt herself getting hot and unconsciously opened her mouth to breathe, but Fan Qingyin seized the opportunity to invade her body.
The long, wet kiss fully expressed Fan Qingyin's longing and affection. He always missed her, even though they lived together. Whenever she wasn't by his side or in front of him, he would miss her.
Jiang Yu could sense her husband's passion. Compared to his usual restraint and demureness, he was much more ferocious in this aspect. Although gentle, he was very assertive, making no attempt to hide his preferences and desires, and he would only stop when he was completely satisfied.
When everything calmed down, Jiang Yu lay on Fan Qingyin's bed, feeling languid all over and not wanting to move a single finger.
I had planned to have some work to do today, but now I have absolutely no energy or motivation. I just want to sleep and lie comfortably in bed all day.
"It's true that male beauty can be a trap." She gave Fan Qingyin a reproachful look.
Looking at his wife's accusing eyes, Fan Qingyin felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey. He held her as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
He held Jiang Yu quietly for a while, and when he felt that his wife was about to fall asleep, he covered her with a blanket, kissed her gently, and then quietly got dressed, got out of bed, and left.
He can handle most of the work. Since the delay was caused by him, let him catch up on the original schedule.
After closing the door for his wife and leaving the bedroom, Fan Qingyin resumed her composed and polite deity persona.
Inside the study, Moya was also handling some matters. Fan Qingyin didn't hold back; after accepting him, she could be said to have taught him everything she knew.
He also wants to better integrate into this family and into human society, so he works very hard and diligently in this regard. Because of his natural advantages, these basic things are not very difficult for him.
For him, interpersonal relationships are more difficult. His thinking is relatively more direct, and he often gets impatient with complicated interpersonal relationships.
But Jiang Yu values these things. It's unavoidable for aristocratic families, and Fan Qingyin is particularly good at them. He doesn't want to be outdone.
"You're getting more and more skilled; that's truly commendable," Fan Qingyin said sincerely, standing at the doorway.
Upon smelling the strong scent emanating from the other person, Moya froze for a moment before rolling his eyes and letting out a soft snort.
"You taught me well."
Fan Qingyin remained noncommittal, went inside and explained Jiang Yu's next plans to Moya, handing over all the affairs of the county to him.
Moya didn't react much and accepted the task without resistance. In return, he told Jiang Yu to bring more guards and gave him a specially made magical artifact, saying that if Jiang Yu encountered danger, he could crush it and arrive quickly.
Fan Qingyin looked at the exquisite magical artifact in her hand, pursed her lips, and said, unusually, "I apologize for my previous prejudice and resistance towards you."
"It's alright." Moya smiled indifferently. If it weren't for Jiang Yu, Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi would be less important to him than a grain of sand on the seabed: "I've never cared about them."
They never took them seriously.
