Chapter 102 Reunion after a long absence
Chapter 102 Reunion after a long absence
The umbrella was slightly lifted to reveal half of his face, and he suddenly appeared in front of her in the rain. As he walked towards her step by step, the surrounding scene seemed to be deliberately slowed down, like a rendered painting.
Lu Youqing's heart began to beat violently.
"You're here," she said softly, as if they had never been apart.
Qin Ke held the oil-paper umbrella over her, like a small world, completely isolated from the rain and fog, and nodded, "Well, the spring ploughing is over, and I will ask for a few days' leave from His Highness."
Li Nanqiao was very tactful and retracted her umbrella, leaving them some space to be alone.
"When did you arrive?"
"I just arrived not long ago, and I heard from the government office that you went out, so I waited for you here." Qin Ke's eyes were full of tenderness, and his gaze was fixed on her.
Lu Youqing didn't dare to tell him that she had just gone to chop off a head. She knew that Qin Ke didn't even dare to kill a living thing. If she said that, she was afraid that he would have a nightmare at night, so she changed the subject and said, "Let's go in. You look so tired. Let someone boil some hot water and wash up."
After that, she took him to the inner courtyard, and the two walked side by side. The light was reflected on the puddles on the ground, and the raindrops fell, shattering the light and shadows of people.
Lei Zhong had already brought people to move the luggage in. Qin Ke was eager to see his wife, so he waited for her at the gate of the government office.
Although Qin Ke couldn't wait to be intimate with his wife, he also knew that he hadn't washed for many days, so he calmed down and took a bath first.
Lu Youqing took advantage of his bathing time to deal with the matter of County Magistrate He. County Magistrate He and his chief clerk had been arrested and imprisoned, and the property embezzled or accepted in bribes had to be filed away one by one.
The county government, which was originally extremely poor, became rich instantly after several houses were raided. Lu Youqing checked the taxes evaded by Xihai in previous years and used the money to make up for the losses one by one. She knew that the eldest princess was short of money now.
Now that Qin Ke has arrived, it will be just the right time to escort these properties back.
She also needs to recruit new officials and other people. The Xihai County Government cannot rely solely on the guards. Sooner or later, it will have to be run again by itself. After she gets the Xihai affairs back on track, a new county magistrate will take over.
She was worried about Qin Ke, so she returned to the bedroom after finishing the urgent matters. Qin Ke, who was thinking that he could finally hold his wife, washed himself clean and smelled good, and dressed himself up very neatly.
After not seeing each other for two months, Qin Ke found that his wife was more majestic than before. A glance from her eyes could make people tremble with fear, but that was only for outsiders.
When she looked at Qin Ke, she was the same as before. When her light amber eyes turned to him, the glaciers in them turned into crystal clear spring rain. Her eyes moved, and the tenderness in them seemed to overflow.
When Lu Youqing walked into the dormitory, Qin Ke was sitting at the table with his chin resting on his hand, waiting for her. There were a few simple side dishes on the table.
"You must be hungry. You don't have to wait for me."
Qin Ke snorted lightly, did not respond, and picked up some food for her.
There was a hint of smile in Lu Youqing's eyes, and she naturally knew that he was throwing a tantrum at her.
However, she thought that she might not be able to get up tomorrow morning, so she had to arrange the urgent matters tonight.
As Lu Youqing expected, Qin Ke put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites of food, staring at her with his dark eyes without blinking.
Lu Youqing looked up, his eyes were dark, and the lust in them was undisguised.
The atmosphere in the room became ambiguous and heated, and everything was self-evident.
The next second, Qin Ke slowly leaned over, gently lifted her chin, got close to her, and sprayed his hot breath on her face.
Lu Youqing raised her hand and grabbed his collar, then raised her head and took the initiative to kiss his lips, their breath blending together and their lips and teeth intertwined.
After a while, the two separated breathlessly. At this time, Lu Youqing had unknowingly sat in Qin Ke's arms.
Her slender jade fingers gently slid across Qin Ke's handsome nose. Her fingers brought a hint of cool and numb temperature, which instantly spread throughout Qin Ke's limbs and bones.
Qin Ke raised his eyes and met her misty and affectionate eyes, and then fell on her pink and tender lips.
"I missed you so much, lady."
Lu Youqing just looked at him with a smile, stroked his handsome cheek, and lowered his head to peck him a few times.
She didn't need to say anything, her actions spoke for themselves. Qin Ke was already used to her reserved and introverted nature when it came to feelings, so he just hugged her tightly, and one hand gently reached over to open her clothes.
Touching her cool and smooth skin, Qin Ke couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up, picked her up and pressed her down on the bed.
He was entangled with her, with no gaps between them. Only when she was in his arms did he feel that his empty body was completely filled.
He had missed her scent and embrace for too long, and now he could finally hold her in his arms again.
But the night was too short, and Qin Ke had never felt time pass so quickly.
After the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, Qin Ke still clung to Lu Youqing tightly, his hands tightly wrapped around her waist, wishing he could rub her into his own bones and blood.
"Okay, relax, I can't breathe." Lu Youqing patted his arm gently.
Qin Ke relaxed half an inch.
Lu Youqing had no choice but to try her best to relax her body and find a more comfortable position in his arms.
"How many days of leave did His Highness grant you?"
Qin Ke buried his head in her neck and replied nonchalantly, "Half a month. The Sino-Agricultural Division is idle these days and there is nothing important to do."
"Unfortunately, although the situation in the West Sea has been resolved, it is still tense. I'm afraid I won't have much time to accompany you." Lu Youqing's tone sounded apologetic.
Qin Ke went out early and came back late to finish the work at hand, and then came to accompany her day and night, but the time she could spend with him was limited.
"Hmm," Qin Ke's lips had been lightly touching her skin, and now he used a little force, sucking her skin, leaving a faint red mark.
"It's okay. I know you're busy with official duties."
Lu Youqing felt a slight sting in her collarbone and raised her hand to grab the back of his neck, exactly the same way she had grabbed the back of their necks when they were young on June 15th.
After all, at this time, Qin Ke's behavior of marking his territory and leaving marks on Lu Youqing was no different from theirs.
"I asked Yang Ping to follow you during the day. I was afraid that someone would be cornered. It would not be enough for you to have only Lei Zhong by your side."
"Well, I just happened to check out the crops in the West Sea."
"If that's the case, I'll find a local to take you with me." Lu Youqing nodded.
"Hmm," Qin Ke didn't want to talk about these things when they met again. Every minute and every second they spent together was precious. He felt that Lu Youqing had rested enough, so he turned over and covered her again, and the two of them were already close to each other.
Lu Youqing looked at the shadow falling on her and her heart tightened. The next second, she was pulled into the wave again.
She felt as if she had become a fish, soaking wet, tumbling under him, but unable to escape no matter what.
A small theater about the fight between Qin Ke and the head of the Gu family.
Gu Lanxi accidentally found out that Qin Ke had secretly started a gambling game in the circle.
Press her and Jinyang to see who will be on top.
The most abominable thing is that her odds on the bet are 1 to 100.
Gu Lanxi gritted her teeth, and the next day, word spread in the circle that Qin Ke was a henpecked husband who would go to his wife to act coquettishly even when he had a broken finger.
