Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 569: Chapter 571 Look at You, You’ve Turned into a Butterfly Afterward, several people found a spot not far away and began to picnic. Saying it was a picnic, in reality, was just finding a spot, setting up a rack, and grilling the game they had just hunted.

Of course, such things as the rack and the firewood needed to start a fire were all handled by Acheng, who even always carried fire-starting materials with him.

Anyway, Chu Lian and Yang Ming were completely useless in this situation, and Acheng, having thrown away the snake, became the focus of the two women again.

Wang Xiangxiang liked Acheng more and more as she watched him. She felt Acheng was different from previous coachmen; he seemed more meticulous and being able to hunt suggested he might know some martial arts. She had been encountering dangers lately and would feel safer with someone like him around.

So, she spoke up, ”Acheng, stay with us once we go back.”

”...” Acheng didn’t speak but feigned difficulty.

As soon as Xiaoxiao heard Wang Xiangxiang’s suggestion, she quickly voiced her approval, ”Sister, that’s a great idea, Acheng is so capable, he should stay to protect you.”

Chu Lian was listening from the side, his lips slightly curled. This was exactly his thought; her suggesting it saved Acheng from having to find excuses.

”Acheng, think about it, I won’t make it difficult for you,” Wang Xiangxiang continued when Acheng remained silent.

”Thank you, miss. Acheng will definitely protect you well,” Acheng agreed and expressed his sincerity, but internally he thought about completing the young master’s orders well.

After Acheng agreed, Wang Xiangxiang was quite pleased, ”That’s wonderful.”

She felt that with him, she would be much more at ease when going out in the future. She still didn’t like to bring too many servants, so this arrangement would be better.

At this moment, she didn’t know that all this had been arranged by Chu Lian to protect her.

Soon enough, the meat was ready, and they could eat. Yang Ming and Chu Lian, gentlemanly, tore a piece of meat for their favored ladies and approached them.

Yang Ming sat down naturally and intimately with his wife, ”Wife, here you go, be careful; it’s hot.”

Xiaoxiao took the meat, internally complaining about the tough and unseasoned meat that couldn’t compare to modern grilled meats. However, there wasn’t any other food available, so she had to make do for now.

As expected, it tasted quite poor. Xiaoxiao’s face turned gloomy as she ate, and Yang Ming quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his wife’s face while saying, ”Slow down, look at you, you’ve become like a little spotted cat.”

This display of adoration made Wang Xiangxiang extremely envious. She thought they would probably never have such a day. She became a bit distracted while eating her meat, and her face also turned into a floral butterfly.

Seeing her face change, Chu Lian also unconsciously took out his handkerchief, wanting to help her, ”Look at you, you’ve turned into a floral butterfly too.”

This gesture made Wang Xiangxiang snap back to reality. Chu Lian was actually helping her wipe her face, and his gentle manner was just like Yang Ming’s. Although she was covetous, she didn’t want Xiaoxiao and the others to misunderstand, so she quickly reached out to stop him, ”I’ll do it myself.”

Chu Lian didn’t give the handkerchief to Wang Xiangxiang but said, ”You can’t see your own face.”

”...”

Despite Wang Xiangxiang’s discomfort, Chu Lian gently and carefully wiped the smudges off her face.

At that moment, Wang Xiangxiang’s face blushed with shame, and after he finished, she said shyly, ”Thank you.”

Then she quickly lowered her head and continued to gnaw on the meat in her hands, concealing her current bashfulness.
