Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home - Chapter 237

237 Blank In Mind

“Is that really the case?” Shao Yunduan looked at the clothes around her waist.

Qiao Xuan looked down subconsciously and saw that her clothes had some strings stuck on them.

She would not have such a thing attached to her, if she had been in the yard for medical herbs.

“I…” Qiao Xuan snapped at herself inwardly.

!!
Her husband must have become suspicious. She should have found a better excuse.

She could have used this excuse to get herself out of the suspicion of the others in the family, but her husband was smart enough not to believe her words…

“Oh well..” Qiao Xuan smiled and confessed, as she came to Shao Yunduan. “Well, don’t get mad if I tell you. I visited Ding Xiang at the ancestral hall, and I brought her some food.”

“What?”

“Hush!” Qiao Xuan covered Shao Yunduan’s lips. “Keep your voice down!”

As the gentle and soft hand covered his mouth, he could feel softness spreading across his body so he was dumbfounded, not daring to move.

He was about to talk when he realized that his lips would rub across her hand. He stiffened even more, and did not dare to move at all. His ears were totally red and he got so nervous that he started to breathe heavily.

Qiao Xuan was so anxious that she did not realize what she had done. She blinked as she turned to him, looking pitiful. “I can explain it to you…”

The two of them were standing very close to each other, and she looked so beautiful. She seemed to have a stimulating fragrance that went in from the tip of his nose, making him feel excited.

With his eyes staring at her, he felt his mind turn blank.

As she felt some warmth on her hand, Qiao Xuan suddenly realized what she had done. She had her palm over his mouth. This was very embarrassing!

Qiao Xuan let out a small, low cry and blushed. She calmed down after a moment and withdrew her hand, repeating her words just to drive away the embarrassing moment. “I can explain to you…”

As the soft feeling on his lips went away, Shao Yunduan let out a secret sigh of relief.

But at the same time, he wished that the palm could have stayed on for a bit longer.

“You can explain now…”

His head had turned messy, and he spoke up randomly.

Qiao Xuan coughed and composed herself. She started speaking in a small voice. “I am telling you the truth. It is just… I found Ding Xiang very pitiful to have a family like that. No one would help her, so I gave her some food to eat. You won’t think I’m nosy, right? I just… I was reminded of how I was treated at the Qiao Family…”

“I am not blaming you.” Shao Yunduan’s heart softened, as he heard her mentioning the Qiao Family. He asked her gently. “You were not noticed, right?”

Qiao Xuan had not expected that her explanation would work so well. She felt a bit guilty but smiled. “I was careful!”

“You should discuss such matters with me in the future, okay?”

“Okay!”

“I will keep this a secret for you. Don’t mention it to anyone else.”

“Of course, you are the only person I told this to!”

Shao Yunduan smiled and felt much better. He reminded her again. “Don’t tell Mom about this either, it is never good to tell one more person about it.”

Actually, he was worried that his mother would blame her if she knew about it.
