The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 116 I like you better now

Jing Shu blinked and asked, "Then do you like me more when you first got married, or me now?"

Li Ling's cheeks were slightly warm: "Don't ask me such tricky questions."

Jing Shu shook him and said coquettishly: "It's still early and I have nothing to do anyway. Why don't you chat with me."

She asked further: "Tell me, do you like the meek me when you first got married, or the me now."

Li Ling couldn't resist his young wife's entanglement and said perfunctorily: "I like them all, I like them all, that's all."

Jing Shu, however, refused to give up: "You can only choose one, tell me quickly."

Before Jingshu fell into the water and was rescued by Li Ling, Li Ling had already fallen in love with her because of the Shangyuan Festival.

Later, unexpectedly, God was wise and actually allowed him to marry her as he wished.

On the wedding night, Li Ling still vividly remembers the joy he felt when he opened his handkerchief and saw his bride. He was very satisfied at that time when he married the woman of his dreams.

He still remembered the tender look she had with her lowered eyebrows in front of him when they were newly married, which made him always have the urge to press her down on the bed every time he was alone with her.

When they first got married, she was always obedient to him and served him comfortably, taking care of everything. At that time, he took all this for granted and enjoyed her service with peace of mind.

But since his grandmother's birthday party, his bride seemed to be a little different. She no longer seemed so docile in front of him. Not only did she often disobey him, but she would also show off to him whenever she didn't get her way. She was no longer as docile as she was when she was newlywed.

The little kitten has turned into a little wild cat whose fur will explode when provoked.

Alas! Now, not only does she often get angry with him in private, she even dares to be confident in front of outsiders.

But even though she treated him like this, he still thought about her. Just like today, he was obviously very angry with her, but he still couldn't help but miss her. She was so stunned that she walked out of the inn, and he

What she was thinking about was that the food at the inn was so rough that she might not be able to swallow it.

He couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.

He naturally liked the docile little woman when he was newly married, but now this delicate little wife who was always ready to play tricks with him made him yearn for her even more.

"Tell me, which one do you like?" The little wife still kept asking.

Li Ling cleared his throat and replied: "I like them both, but if you have to let me choose one."

He looked at his young wife: "If you could save some face for your husband in front of outsiders, I would like you more now."

Li Ling was afraid of angering his wife again by mentioning this, so he quickly explained: "In private, you can be as petty as I am, but you should restrain yourself in front of outsiders."

"Is that okay?"

With these last two words, he seemed to be discussing with her, coaxing her, and more like begging her to do so.

Jingshu replied: "I know you care about face."

Which man doesn't care about face, especially a grown man like Li Ling who values ​​his face more than his life.

She raised her head, looked at Li Ling and said: "But when I saw you looking at the dancer, I felt unhappy. Although I knew in my heart that you are not a lustful person, I just couldn't help but feel unhappy."

Li Ling replied: "If you are not happy, why don't you tell me on the spot. If I knew you were not happy with me enjoying the dance, I would just not watch."

Jingshu pouted and continued: "This morning I saw the dancing girl coming to look for you, and when I saw you stopped talking to her, I felt even more sad."

Li Ling said: "She just saw me and said hello to me, I didn't talk to her."

Jingshu replied: "I know you didn't take her seriously, but when she came to our cave so early in the morning, she clearly had other thoughts. How could I bear to remain indifferent? Then I left the house to find her.

It’s over.”

"When I heard that Zhang Chao actually wanted to give the dancing girl to you, I was so angry that I lost my mind."

Thinking of what Zhang Chao said to Li Ling this morning, Jing Shu still felt resentful. She said angrily: "This Zhang Chao is really hateful!"

Li Ling sighed, patted his wife's back, and comforted her, saying: "I am a classmate of Zhang Chao, and I know his temper very well. He is an upright person. Take what happened this morning as an example. He is just casual.

Once he said it, he didn't think twice about it, so don't argue with him anymore."

Jing Shu also knew that Li Ling was a face-saving person, and no matter how arrogant he was, she did not want to touch her husband's bottom line. Seeing that Li Ling was willing to give in, she patiently explained to him:

"I also know that criticizing Zhang Chao this morning has damaged your face, but I was also confused by it, just like you were unhappy for no reason when you saw Mr. Liu."

"You are not that rude and arrogant person, but why do you always look down upon Mr. Liu and look at him coldly, no matter when he comes to thank you or when you meet him on the street?"

Li Ling said nonchalantly: "Of course it's because I see that he misses you."

When Li Ling mentioned Liu Yunzhi, his face was still full of disgust, and he couldn't help but blurt out derogatory words: "A frivolous person who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."

Jing Shu struck while the iron was hot and continued: "You treat Mr. Liu like this, and I treat that dancer the same way. Although you and I both know that the other party has no intention of caring about people like them, we still can't help but feel angry."

"I was even so angry that I lost my sense of control."

After his wife said this, Li Ling also understood. He said to his wife: "Don't worry, since you don't like it, I won't listen to any concubine playing the piano, dancing or serving wine to accompany the banquet in the future."

Just don’t let them get close.”

As he said that, he couldn't help but think of that frivolous person who thought about his beloved wife. Li Ling said angrily: "It's just that surnamed Liu, you are not allowed to talk to him again from now on."

Jing Shu replied: "I never thought of talking to him. I just took advantage of him because he is Xing'er and Sanmei's teacher."

Every time he mentioned Liu Yunzhi, Li Ling felt his teeth itching with hatred and became very angry: "If he doesn't know how to restrain himself again, I will drive him out of the capital."

Jing Shu hurriedly advised: "Although I met him twice, it was either because of something or by chance on the street. Don't get angry with him. I don't go out often, so how can we bump into him."

Li Ling said angrily: "I think of the last time we had a drink in a restaurant, and he shamelessly came to deliver the lamp, and I got angry."

"Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that she is Cai Lun's close friend and the teacher of Xing'er and Jin'er, if I had moved my hand any further that day, I would have killed him under that lotus lantern."

After listening to Li Ling's words, Jing Shu remembered what happened after he lost the crystal lotus lantern on the Lantern Festival.

No wonder he, who was so angry at first, suddenly felt better after losing the lamp.

Jing Shu looked at Li Ling in surprise and asked, "You stood on such a high building and hit Mr. Liu with such a heavy-headed crystal lamp?"

Li Ling made a mistake and was caught by his wife. He hurriedly added: "I didn't hit him on purpose. He just happened to walk out of the restaurant when I threw the lamp down."

"Coincidence, just coincidence."

Jingshu took a breath.

She thought about it in her mind and sighed: "How about transferring Xing'er and Jin'er out of the official school."

Li Ling@Jingshu: I like you better now.

Jingshudeyi@allbaozi: You see, a woman must be confident to win over a man’s heart.
