Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside

Chapter 912: Chapter 912: A Bit Intense

Qin San Lang reached out and picked up the box, handing it to her.

Gu Jinli took it, opened it, and angrily said, "You spendthrift, why did you buy something so expensive?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

This is a ruby, although not large, it’s still very expensive.

The two of them are about to get engaged, and Gu Jinli had a feeling... that he was wasting her silver.

Qin San Lang said, "I asked you before, and you said you liked rubies, so I found one for you."

Seeing her heartache over the silver, he added, "Don’t worry, it wasn’t bought with silver; it was exchanged with pearls."

He had given her the two best Drunk Beauty Pearls and exchanged four not-so-good ones for this ruby.

"But pearls are money too." Gu Jinli was still distressed, "You’ll need silver in the future, don’t waste money like that. I was just mentioning it, you didn’t have to exchange it for me."

He planned to seek revenge, requiring people, horses, and iron tools, all of which are extremely costly endeavors, needing piles of gold and silver. They really couldn’t waste money.

Qin San Lang, hearing this, felt very sorry and hugged her tighter, saying remorsefully, "I’m sorry... but I don’t want you to suffer; no matter what, I must give you what you deserve."

He loved her, wanted to marry her, and wanted to treat her well, not letting her suffer with him.

He continued, "Don’t worry, the village has already started following your advice and is looking for other treasures from the sea, which will be transported to Da Rong for trade, bringing back more silver."

Previously, people in the village only dove for pearls. Now, they also seek high-quality coral, tridacna, shellfish, and medicinal sea goods to sell, earning much more silver than before.

Gu Jinli, hearing this, still said, "Even if we’re earning more than before, we can’t waste silver. Only with money and food in hand can we feel secure."

His family’s grudge was not an ordinary one, and taking revenge would not be easy.

Qin San Lang noticed her concern and promised, "Rest assured, Xiao Yu, I will be careful and cautious and will not let the revenge plan have any mishaps that could harm everyone."

Gu Jinli didn’t want him to feel too pressured, so she proactively hugged him and said with a smile, "It’s okay, I can earn money too, so let’s use our silver together in the future, and we won’t have to fear being broke. Let’s also seek revenge together, you don’t have to bear it alone."

Qin San Lang’s heart ached with a bittersweet feeling. How could his Xiao Yu be so good? Not only did she not despise him, but she also helped him like this.

Gu Jinli saw him dazed, poked his chin, and said, "What’s with the blank stare? Stupid? I won’t marry a..."

Before finishing her sentence, her view was suddenly shadowed. He leaned toward her, preventing her from continuing.

By the time she came back to her senses and intended to ask what he was doing, he was already kissing her.

Gu Jinli was stunned. What happened?

Brother Qin actually, actually...

Hell, (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ shut your mouth!

Qin San Lang hugged her, did what he wanted most, kissed her tenderly and cherished her, wrapping her in his embrace.

The wind rose outside the window, blowing gently inside, brushing her face as softly as he kissed her.

Soon, the wind picked up strength.

With a rumbling sound, spring thunder boomed in the night sky.

Gu Jinli was startled back to her senses by the thunder and pushed him away, saying, "It’s thundering..."

Qin San Lang looked at her face trying to seem composed amid her panic and laughed, "Xiao Yu isn’t afraid of thunder."

Gu Jinli twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "It’s thundering, and it’s going to rain. You should go back now."

You should go first, let me catch my breath. You suddenly became somewhat fierce, and I can’t handle it.

Qin San Lang heard this, and his smile deepened... How could his Xiao Yu be so cute?

Gu Jinli looked at his smile and got angry, "What are you laughing at? Go home, it’s so late, I want to sleep."

Qin San Lang knew she was shy, so he didn’t stay to tease her further, and went along with what she wanted, "Okay, I’ll go back now. Close the window and sleep, don’t let the rainwater into the house."

"Got it, you’re so nagging, hurry up and leave." Gu Jinli pushed him, her face burning hot, almost unable to look at him anymore.

Yet she felt cowardly if she didn’t look, so she raised her head and glared at him.

Qin San Lang put his hand on the window sill, flipped himself over, and leaped out of the window. Just as she closed the window, he stopped it with his hand.

Gu Jinli was angry, "Why are you blocking the window? You’re the one who told me to close it."

Qin San Lang looked at her pretending to be fierce and reached out his hand to her, "Xiao Yu, come here."

Gu Jinli frowned, "What for?"

Even though she seemed unwilling, she still took two steps forward, leaning against the window to look at him.

Qin San Lang’s long arm swept her in, and he leaned down and kissed her again. But this time, it was just a light peck before he pulled away, saying to her, "Xiao Yu, you look very pretty when you’re blushing."

She always teased him for blushing, but she didn’t know her face was as red as a rosy dawn right now.

Gu Jinli was momentarily stunned and, upon realizing, angrily said, "Get lost!"

With those words, she pried his hand off the window and pushed him away, slamming the window shut with a bang.

Qin San Lang wasn’t bothered; he already knew she liked him.

He stood at the window, laughing softly, feeling incredibly happy inside. A while later, raindrops began to fall from the sky, and he gently knocked on the window, saying, "I’m leaving now, you should sleep."

He added, "It’s raining, and it will be cold tonight. Remember to take out the quilt, don’t catch a chill these days."

Gu Jinli’s face grew hotter at those words, almost catching fire. Bastard, he actually remembered her little days!

"Got it, leave quickly, if you dare say one more nag, I’ll poison you!"

Qin San Lang knew she was already exasperated, so he didn’t dare to say more, but rather listened to her and walked away, returning to his courtyard in the rain.

Gu Jinli listened to his footsteps getting distant, then listened to the pouring rain, somewhat regretting not giving him a hat. Walking back in the rain like that, though he wouldn’t get sick from just one rain, it is uncomfortable to be soaked.

She thought about him kissing her and couldn’t help but touch her lips... Is this what that feels like? It’s not bad.

"Ah, I can’t think about it anymore, I need to sleep!" She patted her cheeks, hugged the box with the ruby, and crawled into her blanket.

But unfortunately, she couldn’t sleep, her mind filled with images of him kissing her.

Qin San Lang wasn’t much better off, either. He returned through the rain, grinning like a fool, and after returning to his courtyard, he still lingered unwillingly, standing under the eaves, gazing in the direction of her courtyard.

Xiao Yu likes him too and let him kiss her.

Even though he was overjoyed, Qin San Lang still remained alert, turning his sharp gaze to the left porch pillar, "Who’s there?"

"It’s me." Gu Jin’an walked out from the pillar, looking at Qin San Lang, "You were gone for so long, did things work out?"

San Lang and Xiao Yu’s affection for each other was clear to everyone, even the adults at home saw them as a suitable match, and marriage was a certainty.

However, Xiao Yu always had her mind set since childhood. If she didn’t agree, the Qin family wouldn’t dare propose marriage.

As the elder brother, he allowed San Lang to visit Xiao Yu at night because he trusted San Lang, long considering him a brother-in-law, and secondly wanted San Lang to clarify things with Xiao Yu and settle the marriage sooner.

Being the eldest brother and the backbone was truly not easy; once he married off his two younger sisters, he would be much more relaxed.
