The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 139 Besides the Physical Appearance
Noticing that the person in his arms was breathing more evenly, Lu Chengjing slowly leaned closer and gently placed a kiss on the top of Shang Wan's head.

He stole another kiss from her.

Shang Wan opened her eyes, tilted her head back, and their lips met briefly before parting.

In an instant, Lu Chengjing's body stiffened like a wooden block, and his ears uncontrollably burned.

The light was dim, and he could only make out the outline of the person in his arms.

A delicate fragrance lingers around the nose, and the soft touch seems to still linger on the lips.

His hand on Shang Wan's waist tightened, and he whispered, "My wife."

"Mmm." Shang Wan responded softly, scratching the soft flesh of his chin with her fingers. "Why are you sneaking around if you want to kiss me?"

She caught them more than once.

"I..." Lu Chengjing pursed his lips nervously, a heat spreading from his ears to his cheeks, then to his neck, and down to his heart.

The increasingly rapid heartbeat sounded particularly noisy in the darkness.

When the eyes can't see clearly, touch takes over and becomes clear.

The fingers on his chin gradually moved down, tracing his neck and gently circling over his prominent Adam's apple.

Warm breath sprayed onto my neck, causing an itch that spread, and the skin on my neck almost turned pink.

Shang Wan watched in amazement, thinking how easily her fox could be teased.

He placed a kiss near Adam's apple and whispered, "What do you want to say?"

The pink on her skin was starting to turn red, and Lu Chengjing tightened his grip on Shang Wan's waist, pulling her completely into his arms.

Shang Wan relaxed her body and leaned against his chest, listening to the pounding of his heart beside her ear.

Lu Chengjing murmured softly, "My wife, I will grow old."

"Ah."

"Besides physical appearance, can you like anything else?"

"for example?"

"Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"Not interested in."

"The poems, lyrics, and songs?"

Do I look like that kind of material to you?

Lu Chengjing fell silent, his mind racing as he considered what Shang Wan might be interested in.

The more he thought about it, the more powerless he felt. It seemed that his wife really only loved beautiful women.

He sighed deeply, buried his head in Shang Wan's shoulder, and shut himself off.

Shang Wan raised her hand and poked him, "What are you thinking about?"

"Which book contains a secret to preserving youth?" Lu Chengjing's voice was muffled, tinged with a hint of self-abandonment.

Shang Wan chuckled, cupped his face in her hands and lifted him up, "You haven't even reached adulthood yet, isn't it a bit too early to be thinking about these things?"

"Prepare early." Lu Chengjing moved a couple of inches closer to Shang Wan, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly.

Shang Wan glanced into his dark eyes and thought to herself that the fox's claws were about to be extended.

He eagerly added fuel to the fire, "I heard from Chu Xu that the four young masters of the capital are all incredibly handsome and charming—hmm!"

The light-colored lips are cool and soft.

As it turned, the heat intensified, staining the colors with vibrant hues.

Hmm... the tooth powder has a mint flavor and also seems to have a bit of an osmanthus flavor.

A soft, rustling sound came from the dimly lit cubicle.

"Stop." Shang Wan pushed him away slightly, covered Lu Chengjing's mouth as he leaned in again, and blinked her watery almond-shaped eyes. "I think you need to calm down."

It's really not appropriate to do that now; there are two adults and two children in the shed.

"My wife." The low, hoarse voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance.

"Good boy." Shang Wan knew she was in the wrong; it wasn't right to only provoke him without putting him out. She leaned over and gave Lu Chengjing a comforting kiss on his still-warm cheek, stroking his hair. "It's time to sleep."

This fox may be shy, but it can be quite fierce when it really kisses.

Her tongue was numb.

Lu Chengjing lowered his head and gently nuzzled her neck, his breath warm, his soft lips occasionally brushing against her delicate skin, before finally calming down after a long while.

Shang Wan raised her hand and poked him. Lu Chengjing called softly, "Wife."

"Hmm." Shang Wan pinched his earlobe. "I just thought about it carefully, and having wrinkles doesn't seem so bad."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengjing blinked slowly, his long eyelashes brushing against his skin, causing a slight itch.

A cool, warm kiss soothed the itch.

It's still a clingy fox.

Shang Wan chuckled, "Can you sleep now?"

Recalling their intimate moments just now, Lu Chengjing felt a flush rise in his ears.

He raised his head and adjusted his shoulder position so that Shang Wan could lean back more comfortably.

The two embraced quietly, and sleepiness gradually crept in.

In her daze, Shang Wan heard someone beside her murmur, "There are only foxes, no cats or dogs."

Shang Wan didn't know whether she should have responded or not, but she slept quite soundly.

As the sun rises, the morning mist gradually dissipates.

Dewdrops clung to the blades of grass, glistening and translucent in the sunlight, like glass.

Yuanyuan clasped her two little hands together and sat obediently in front of Xiaohuan, listening to her Aunt Xiaohuan nagging.

Xiao Huan: "You can't go out to play in the middle of the night."

A round little head.

Xiao Huan: "I have to tell my family where I'm going."

Yuan Yuan nodded her little head again.

Xiao Huan: "There are a lot of bad people outside. What if we run into them and they kidnap you?"

This time, Yuanyuan didn't nod. Instead, she waved her little hand and uttered a single word in her soft, sweet voice, "Hit!"

Xiao Huan: "...What if we can't beat them?"

Yuanyuan shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mother!"

Xiao Huan: "..."

Shang Wan came over carrying a small bucket of goat milk, reached out and patted Xiao Huan's round little head, and asked on Xiao Huan's behalf, "What if even Mom can't beat them?"

Yuan Yuan blinked her big eyes, seemingly surprised that there was a bad guy that even her mother couldn't beat.

Her little face scrunched up, she tilted her head and pondered for a long time, then uttered a single word, "Run."

If you can't beat them, run away—that's what Uncle Stone taught her.

"It's good that they were able to escape," Shang Wan said. "As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn."

Yuanyuan didn't understand what her mother was saying, but she felt that her mother was praising her, so she grinned and gave a sweet smile.

Xiao Huan shook her head at this. Her sister's main principle in raising the child was simply to keep him alive; nothing else mattered.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own business, except for Chu Xu, who lay there unable to move, sighing and idly picking at his fingers.

He can't practice martial arts, he has no toys, no snacks, and no one to tell him jokes. It's so boring to recover from this injury.

When Chu Xu sighed for the fiftieth time, Lu Chengjing decided to find him something to do.

Chu Xu examined the small plum blossom dart and asked in confusion, "Why are you giving me this?"

Lu Chengjing pointed to the bat pattern on the plum blossom dart, "Have you ever seen such a mark before?"

"It looks like a bird." Chu Xu tilted his head and looked closely, his voice filled with disdain. "This bird is so ugly."

Lu Chengjing reminded him, "These are bats."

"No wonder it's so ugly." Chu Xu pouted. "It's just as ugly as my family's."

He was never satisfied with his family crest. Bats are so ugly, couldn't they have chosen a prettier bird? A peacock, for example, would have been much better.

Lu Chengjing didn't know how to respond to that, so he simply asked, "Have you seen it before?"

"No." Chu Xu shook his head firmly. "My family crest is two bats, which symbolize good things coming in pairs and double blessings. We would never separate them."

He asked curiously, "Where did this plum blossom dart come from?"

Ordinary households don't have things like plum blossom darts, right?
Lu Chengjing said, "An assassin."

Chu Xu was startled, his cat-like eyes widening instantly. "An assassin came to our door last night?"
