Chapter 121 Willing and reluctant to agree are different
In the early morning, wisps of golden sunlight filtered through the clear glass windows, pouring into the room like broken gold, softly hitting her delicate face, as if covering her face with a layer of warm and bright glow.
Tang Man turned away somewhat uncomfortably, away from the sunlight shining on her face, opened her eyes and looked at the strange room. It took her a while to remember where she was. She glanced around her and saw no one. The quilt was already cold.
She didn't rush to get up. She quickly entered the spiritual spring space, soaked in the hot spring, and scooped up water to wash her face.
I've been staying in the car these few days and I stink so badly. I have to wash myself clean.
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound outside the space. Knowing that someone was about to come in, Tang Man hurriedly left the Lingquan space and hid himself under the quilt.
At the same time, the door was pushed open. Xie Yan walked into the room quickly and saw that the person on the bed had opened his eyes. He immediately strode over and said, "Wife, wake up..."
Before Xie Yan finished his words, he noticed Tang Man's exposed shoulders. His eyes changed immediately, but when he thought about his wife who had just become pregnant, he immediately suppressed the heat in his heart and pulled the quilt to wrap Tang Man's shoulders completely into the bed.
"Why did you take off all your clothes? Are you testing your man's willpower?" Xie Yan looked at her resentfully, approached her and kissed her on the lips. "You know, my willpower is not that good."
There was a flash of embarrassment in Tang Man's eyes. She had no idea that he would suddenly return to the room, leaving her no time to put on her clothes. Her eyes swept across the neatly folded clothes on the pillow. She immediately found an excuse for herself and glared at him angrily.
"What are you thinking! I just want to change my clothes."
"Haha! Come, let me help you put it on." Xie Yan smiled and picked up the underwear on the pillow and was about to pull the quilt off Tang Man.
Tang Man grabbed the quilt tightly and said, "No, I'll put it on myself. You go out first."
Xie Yan didn't move, still holding the inner garment in his hand. "We are already an old married couple, and you want me to go out to change clothes."
"You..." Tang Man's face turned red. She glared at him and warned him in a low voice, "Be serious. This is my house. How can I let my parents see us?"
"My parents and my eldest brother are all at work, no one will know."
"You..." Tang Man couldn't find a better excuse for a moment, so she could only stare at him and say, "Get out."
"Yes, yes, I'll go out right away." Xie Yan was just teasing her. He was not stupid and he also had a tendency to be masochistic. He didn't want to be provoked, but he could only take a cold shower to cool down. It was the coldest time of the year and taking a shower could easily make him sick.
After Xie Yan left and closed the door, Tang Man took her clothes, put them on, and walked out of the room.
Xie Yan just came out of the kitchen. "Wife, I've squeezed the toothpaste for you. Go wash up and have breakfast."
"Yeah!" Tang Man had actually washed up in the Lingquan space, but she still went to the bathroom to use the toilet and brush her teeth. It was her own fault. She knew that he would prepare these for her every day, but she still washed up in the Lingquan space. Now, in order not to be discovered, she had to wash again.
"Did you make this?" Tang Man sat on the stool and looked at the lean meat and vegetable porridge on the table. People of this era would not use meat to make porridge. At most, they would add some wild vegetables to the porridge. It was only after Xie Yan had seen her make lean meat and vegetable porridge that he would do this from time to time.
"Yes! I always have to perform in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law to win their favor and make them willing to marry their daughter to me."
Xie Yan's words were met with a roll of Tang Man's eyes. "We are already married, and now we are even pregnant. How can they not agree?"
"Wife, there is a difference between agreeing willingly and agreeing reluctantly."
Xie Yan smiled and rubbed Tang Man's head, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up some shredded potatoes for Tang Man.
"Wife, you have been in low spirits in the car these past few days. You even fell asleep on the road last night. I didn't have a chance to discuss it with you, so I decided to talk to my parents about our marriage first."
They are both married, what else is there to talk about?
Tang Man glanced at Xie Yan and waited for Xie Yan to continue speaking.
Xie Yan said, "We have a marriage certificate, but we haven't held the wedding banquet yet. If I let you follow me to the Xie family like this, others will gossip about you behind my back. I know you don't care about these things, but we still have to consider our parents' face. And my eldest brother, he hasn't gotten married yet, so we can't let him be affected by us."
Tang Man nodded, indicating that she had no objection. She had never thought about these things before and didn't care much about them, but what Xie Yan said was true.
Most people of this era do not recognize marriage certificates. In everyone's eyes, having a marriage certificate does not count as a marriage. Even if there is no marriage certificate, they are still a couple just by having a wedding banquet.
"So I discussed it with my parents and eldest brother, and I want you to live at home first. When I marry you in a grand manner, you can move to the Xie family. Don't worry, I will be here with you most of the time."
Tang Man rolled her eyes at Xie Yan's words, "You sound like I can't live without you."
"How could that be possible! It's me who can't leave you. If I don't cook for you or see you for a day, I'll feel uncomfortable all over. I feel very uncomfortable."
Xie Yan reached out and touched Tang Man’s belly, then continued.
"Besides, our baby also needs his father. We don't want him to be too far away from him, right?"
Xie Yan's shameless behavior undoubtedly earned Tang Man another eye roll. "Then what are you still doing here? Why don't you go back to see Grandpa and the others? They must be looking forward to your return when they know you're back."
"Originally I was going to go back by myself in the morning, but Grandpa called and asked you to come with him. He also said that you can go over to dinner with Mom, Dad, and Big Brother to discuss our marriage. Mom has prepared the ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and will make it for you tonight."
"Then why didn't you call me." Tang Man glanced at her watch. It was almost ten o'clock. The old man must be getting impatient.
"Don't worry, let's just go back and have lunch."
Having said that, Tang Man still quickly finished the food in the bowl.
Xie Yan also stood up and went to the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a bucket of hot water and went to the toilet.
When he came out again, Tang Man had already put down the bowl and chopsticks, so he said, "Go wash up first. Haven't you been complaining about being uncomfortable on the train for a few days?"
"I'll wash it when I come back in the evening. Go back first. Grandpa and the others must be waiting anxiously."
"Take a shower first. I told grandpa that our pregnant woman needs to rest. We will wait until she has rested enough before going over. Grandpa also told you to have a good rest and not to disturb you. They will wait for us to have lunch at noon."
Xie Yan explained and pushed Tang Man into the toilet.
"Be good, take a shower first. We can go back after you've cleaned up. Be careful and don't fall."
