Early the next morning, it was already bright outside, but Dong Lingjiu and Xia Tan'er still stayed in bed and refused to get up.
But this time the main responsibility lies with Dongling Jiu.
He really couldn't bear to part with Xia Tan'er's soft body and this warm moment. Several times, Xia Tan'er wanted to get up to make arrangements for today's affairs in advance, but she rolled off the edge of the bed and Dong Lingjiu hugged her waist and pulled her away. He hugged her back and pressed hard against her.
Seeing that the sunshine outside the window was shining brightly, Xia Tan'er turned around helplessly and poked Dong Lingjiu's chest as if to vent her anger.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, if you continue like this, I will become a beauty and trouble. The spring night is short and the sun is rising. From now on, the king will not come to court early. Fortunately, we have made an agreement not to tell outsiders about our relationship. If outsiders find out, they will not know how to make it up. There are so many incredible stories.”
"I'll just lie down for a while if I don't have anything to do today. I've written a lot of what I said in the book outside. How could I have ever cared about it?"
Brother...you don't care, I do. Looking at the whole Dongling, who dares to write bad things about you.
Xia Tan'er pursed her lips. It was the first time she discovered that Dong Lingjiu was such a clingy person and a potential wife slave. Could it be that the wise and cold and serious nature of the wise god in the past was all just an act.
"Who said there is nothing to do? We still have to rush back to organize the Kyushu Festival. Uncle Nine Emperors, have you forgotten that one of the competitions between my uncle and me is to get the first place in the Kyushu Festival and get the qualification to go to Tianheng Academy."
If you can't act coquettishly, then you can only mention business matters. It's her business matters, and Dong Lingjiu will never be careless.
Just as Xia Tan'er had expected, this trick would work every time. When Dong Lingjiu sat up immediately and was about to say something, Xia Tan'er was the first to add the reason why he had to get up.
"Besides, there is also the matter of the treasure map. I have to find out what Linqin has to do with the treasure map. I finally came here secretly, but it won't be that easy next time."
"So before we leave, let's quickly go to the suspicious place to investigate."
"What's more, Linqin is now an empty city. With the horse bandits gone, there will be no major threat. Linqin will definitely become prosperous again based on its geographical location. If we don't completely control it now, when will the right time come? It’s a shame we just left like this.”
"So, we still have a lot to do."
Each of the listed reasons made more sense than the last, and Xia Tan'er considered all these things for him that should have been considered by him. What more could a man ask for when he has a lady like this.
But... Dong Lingjiu stared at Xia Tan'er for a long time before he spoke in confusion.
"Tan'er."
"Um?"
"Sometimes I feel that you are the husband. You have considered everything properly, and I just listen to your instructions and follow them. I don't have any room for improvement. If this continues, will my husband's relationship be weakened? "
"..."
Uncle Nine Emperors, does this mean that she is too strong and that has hurt his pride?
I'm sorry, she also has her eye on Lin Qin's treasure. As the saying goes, strike first to gain the upper hand, she must intervene in this matter to the end. What's more, a man's self-esteem is worth a few copper coins.
However, Xia Tan'er would not say this directly in front of Dong Lingjiu. A man has to be coaxed, especially a man like Dong Lingjiu. She made him think that he was the one who made the decision, but in fact, he always acted according to her words. Just fine.
