placed Dengdeng on a rattan chair near him, swiftly undressed, and jumped into the pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then ruffled Bai Ruozhu thoroughly under the guise of the hot spring water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, doing it in the water felt distinctly invigorating, leaving Bai Ruozhu nearly screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face turned so red, almost as if blood were dripping from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know if it was because of the steam emanating from the hot springs, her shyness, or anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Ruozhu now understood that when Jiang Yichun pursued her, he was cautious and gentle, but now he was like a wolf, tormenting her every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How despicable, how shameless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth and pinched the root of his thigh, hoping it would be painful enough for him to grimace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was weak, and it was slippery in the water, so she wasn’t able to use much force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she tickled Jiang Yichun, leading him to once again overpower her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu felt like crying but had no tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She resented that Dengdeng was having a good time playing with bath toys without even protesting his father’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they left the Hot Spring Mansion, Bai Ruozhu was so tired she could hardly walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided that she needed to work on her physical strength so she wouldn’t be so easily overpowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also decided to start practicing martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, she would overpower him instead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink of an eye, it was Bai Ruozhu’s birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got up early to get dressed, ready to have the longevity noodles cooked by her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the thought of eating the noodles cooked by her mother uplifted Bai Ruozhu’s spirits, even though she knew she wouldn’t see her parents for a while as she had to go to Capital City soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun hugged her slender waist from behind and nudged his face against her back, with a reluctant demeanor that prevented her from getting to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head back and gave him an annoyed glance, saying, “Stop being silly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today is my birthday, and I’m going to have longevity noodles prepared by my mother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today is your birthday?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t you tell me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t prepared any gifts.” Jiang Yichun said with a hint of complaint, as if Bai Ruozhu was in the wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was instantly annoyed, glaring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could you, as a husband, not know your own wife’s birthday?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You blame me for not telling you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t even started blaming you for not preparing a gift!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, seeing her angry, chuckled lowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, you’re the birthday girl, and I won’t tease you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I not know your birthday?” He then mysteriously produced a beautifully crafted box and handed it to Bai Ruozhu, saying, “Here, your gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the box, Bai Ruozhu’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box was exquisitely designed in a Western style and adorned with tiny rubies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box itself was so luxurious that the contents most certainly had to be more valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, drooling with anticipation, couldn’t wait to open the box, revealing a pocket watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gold pocket watch with a crowned embossment on the cover, and a large ruby embedded in the center of the crown!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pocket watch was ticking rhythmically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it couldn’t compare to modern watches in functionality, none could rival its grandeur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Covering her mouth, Bai Ruozhu said excitedly, “This, this is a pocket watch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it’s from the British royal family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s a pocket watch, but as for it being from the royal family of some country, I wouldn’t know.” Seeing the happiness on Bai Ruozhu’s face, Jiang Yichun was also all smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly threw her arms around his neck, cooing, “My dear husband, you are the best!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, feeling quite smug, pointed at his cheek, indicating for Bai Ruozhu to give him a peck on the cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She eagerly obliged—after all, the gift had perfectly hit the mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was luxurious or not didn’t matter; she desperately needed a watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a pity that there was no place in Danliang Country that sold watches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she herself was a modern person, she lacked the complex skills required to craft a watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recalled the day she casually mentioned watches, and he took it to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pocket watch must have cost a fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he borrow money previously just to buy this pocket watch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilt washed over her as she pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, as a man, he wouldn’t ask his beloved woman for money to buy her gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, he definitely wanted to surprise her, hence the secrecy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had misinterpreted it, leaving her feeling guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she wasn’t planning on revealing that she knew about Jiang Yichun borrowing money from Xu Huilin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also a prideful person; revealing it would only make him feel mortified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, feeling quite smug, again pointed to his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu kissed him as instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he didn’t let her off as easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers weaved into her hair, his hand cradled the back of her head, and he kissed her passionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passionate kiss left them both panting for breath, burning with desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu, with both arms wrapped around his neck, pouted, “Mom and Dad are awake, and I need to go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll make it up to you tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun knew that she shouldn’t be late on her birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to calm his raging body and replied, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he helped Bai Ruozhu hang the pocket watch around her neck, and kissed her forehead, saying, “As long as you like it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng woke at that moment and, seeing the glistening gold and ruby pocket watch around her neck, became incredibly curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ah-ah’d, reaching out his hands to play with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu hurriedly tucked it into her collar, telling their son, “Good boy, Dengdeng, this isn’t a toy for children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a precious gift from your daddy to your mommy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng sulked as he could not see the watch anymore and started to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun quickly scooped Dengdeng into his arms, saying, “Naughty boy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Real men don’t cry so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daddy will find something else fun for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu, on the other hand, held her beloved pocket watch tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instantly became a frugal mother, not letting Dengdeng play with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guessing that Dengdeng liked the color red, she promptly found a red coral bead necklace from the jewelry box and handed it to Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng, with his nose sniffling, wasn’t completely satisfied, but at least he stopped crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family of three tidied themselves and left the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu went to greet her parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her birthday was the day her mother suffered; she would never forget that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruozhu, the hot longevity noodles are ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry up and eat,” Lin Ping said, gesturing towards the bowl of noodles on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly went to eat the noodles while everyone else in the courtyard began to follow suit.\u003C\u002Fp>",1212,"2026-05-30T14:09:10.984Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","1c7fd7e97299203b8b3d71d6fdc4775adb8b62ed6b948ffed9647414df951510","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-724","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-722",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
