Chapter 48: 47. A Family of Five

47. A Family of Five

At noon, the sun was bright and beautiful.

Chen Yuejian, who was nearly ten months old, was wandering around the courtyard under her father's watchful eye.

Looking at the flowers and grass.

Teasing the insects.

Along the way, she felt curious about everything she saw.

Meanwhile, her mother Song Huaying was in the main hall weaving clothes with her Gu mother, weaving the red garment that her Wen mother would need for her wedding tomorrow.

Wen Zhiyun did not know how to weave, so she sat to the side, learning with an open mind, showing none of the airs of a Qi Refining Late Stage immortal master, and getting along very harmoniously with her other two mothers.

"Butterfly! Butterfly! Butterfly!"

Seeing two flower butterflies fly past, Chen Yuejian excitedly chased after them on her short little legs, shouting as she went.

Chen An, who was following behind to look after her, felt his face fill with joy upon hearing his daughter's repeated cries of "butterfly."

She had already learned to say butterfly, so could saying "Daddy" be far behind?

"That... come over here for a moment."

Wen Zhiyun, who had been learning to weave in the main hall, walked out of the room at some point and called out to Chen An, who was looking after their daughter in the courtyard.

Chen An scooped up his daughter, but instead of walking toward Wen Zhiyun, he stood his ground and asked her:

"Are you calling for your husband to come over, or for Xiao Yuejian to come over?"

"Calling you."

"You must call me husband, otherwise I won't come over."

"Are you annoying or what!"

Wen Zhiyun was truly about to be angered to death, her chest heaving incessantly from the rage.

Chen An would tease her at the drop of a hat, which made her feel very embarrassed and very annoyed.

Unfortunately, Chen An happened to take great pleasure in doing exactly that.

He just loved teasing this hot-tempered, menopausal beauty.

He just wanted to see her stomp her feet in exasperation.

He found it very interesting.

"Chen An, are you coming over or not?"

"..."

Chen An did not respond.

Seeing that she not only refused to call him husband but also looked fierce, he decisively put down Chen Yuejian and continued to follow her as she wandered aimlessly around the courtyard.

Before he had taken two steps, Wen Zhiyun's coy and bashful voice came from behind him.

"Hus, husband, come over for a moment, I have something to tell you..."

This voice was not only coy, but also spoken very softly.

It seemed she was afraid of being heard by Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue in the house, which made her feel embarrassed.

"What are you saying? Speak up, I can't hear you."

Chen An pretended not to hear, wanting Wen Zhiyun to shout it out loud.

Wen Zhiyun could not take it anymore; she turned around and walked away without a word.

Seeing that this menopausal concubine was truly about to get angry.

Chen An knew when to stop and no longer teased her.

"Don't be impatient, I'll take Xiao Yuejian to Ying first, then I'll come to talk to you."

After saying this, he carried his daughter toward the main hall.

Soon, he returned to the courtyard.

Seeing that Wen Zhiyun was still there, he smiled and went up to ask:

"Zhiyun, is there something you wanted to tell your husband?"

"At my age, can you stop calling me Zhiyun? It's mortifying to hear!"

"Fine, then I'll call you Old Yun from now on."

"You...!"

Wen Zhiyun was so angry she couldn't even speak, and she turned and walked toward her room.

Chen An followed behind, his gaze fixed on the alluring back before him.

Her hair was coiled high, revealing a snow-white, flawless neck, and below that, her slender waist swayed left and right with her steps, accompanied by the plump, full semi-circular curves, a sight that dazzled the eyes.

"Creak—"

Wen Zhiyun walked to her room and pushed the door open to enter.

Although she hadn't asked Chen An to follow her in, she didn't close the door after entering, which was already equivalent to asking him to come in.

Chen An naturally knew this, so he followed her in at a leisurely pace and closed the door behind him.

He walked toward Wen Zhiyun, saying as he went:

"Speak, what is it?"

"That..."

Wen Zhiyun's face was flushed red, her voice extremely faint, and she said with some difficulty: "Let's... do that thing from yesterday again."

"What thing?"

Chen An asked despite knowing the answer, wanting this beauty who had already tasted the sweetness to say it herself.

Wen Zhiyun threw caution to the wind; anyway, everything that could be seen had been seen, and everything that could be touched had been touched, so there was nothing left to be reserved about, and she cast aside her shame and said:

"I want to have intercourse with you."

"No, you said yesterday that we cannot touch each other again until we are married; I must respect your wishes."

"You are so annoying!"

"Chen An, will you only be satisfied if you trample my self-esteem into the dirt?"

Wen Zhiyun pursed her thin lips, her eye sockets turning slightly red as she spoke.

Having lived under the same roof for nearly a year, this was the first time Chen An had seen Wen Zhiyun looking so aggrieved.

He could not stand it, directly picking Wen Zhiyun up and tossing her onto the bamboo bed covered with a cotton mat, his voice gentle as he said:

"Zhiyun, your husband has never thought of trampling on your dignity; your husband only wants you to be more honest."

"Hus, husband, please be gentle..."

Wen Zhiyun's voice was barely audible, and her whole person unexpectedly became somewhat as gentle as water.

After about the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

【Affection +1】

【Golden Finger Proficient +1】

【Fire Spirit Root aptitude +1】

After finishing, Chen An lay on the bed, holding Wen Zhiyun and closing his eyes to rest his mind.

Feeling that she had already fallen asleep, he gently put on his clothes, got out of bed, and left the room.

Having swum enough like a fish in the waters of the gentle embrace, it was time to go to the Alchemy Room to work like an ox or a horse.

One must be self-disciplined as a human, and even more so as an immortal.

He refined for an entire afternoon.

Chen An finally finished refining all the medicinal pills to be sent to the Bamboo Leaf Gang Logistics Department tomorrow, as well as the pills to be sold at the Treasure Pavilion, all at once.

In this way, he could free up his evening time to properly cultivate affection with his three wives and concubines.

When evening arrived.

To save time, Chen An called all three wives and concubines to his room to have an in-depth discussion about future plans.

Wen Zhiyun felt somewhat embarrassed; she had often spoken ill of Chen An in front of the two younger sisters, and now that the four of them had to stay in one room to discuss future plans, she found it hard to accept.

In order to escape, she had to make an excuse that she needed to go back to her room to cultivate.

However, Chen An held her back and would not let her leave, and Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue were also persuading her to stay and chat.

With no other choice, she stayed behind, half-reluctantly.

In the time that followed, Chen An treated the three of them equally, showing favor to none.

And as the four of them chatted, they talked for an entire night without realizing it.

It was not until the sky outside was about to brighten that they each returned to their own rooms to sleep, not choosing to sleep together under one large quilt.

Chen An did not stay in his own room, but instead followed his little beloved wife Song Huaying.

He wanted to sleep with his daughter, because just watching his daughter lying to the side, small and fast asleep, made him feel very warm and happy.

As soon as she lay on the bed, Song Huaying, whose body was nearly exhausted, fell asleep quickly.

Chen An was not in a hurry to sleep; he first quietly admired for a while the way his daughter slept with such a sweet expression, then with a thought, he pulled up the notification messages that had appeared in his room earlier to take a look.

【Affection +1】 x1

【Golden Finger Proficient +3】 x1

【Alchemy Experience +3】 x1

【Affection +1】 x1

【Golden Finger Proficient +3】 x3

【Divine Sense strength +3】 x5

【Affection +1】 x1

【Golden Finger Proficient +1】 x1

【Fire Spirit Root aptitude +1】 x1

"As long as I can maintain this rate of improvement and work a little harder every day, it shouldn't take long before I have the strength to leave the Bamboo Leaf Forest."

Thinking this, Chen An also fell asleep before long.
