The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 241 Wife’s Heart Knot

After sending Li Ling off to the south, Li Xian and Xu Wanning also embarked on a journey to Jiangdong to celebrate his birthday.

It is most convenient to take the waterway from Beijing to Jiangnan. This is the first time for the two of them to travel far together in all these years of marriage.

In the spring of March, the world is full of spring. Li Xian stood on the bow of the boat. The vast expanse of the river dissipated the boredom of his frustrated career and gave him a somewhat youthful spirit in his middle age.

Wearing plain brocade clothes, he tapped the jade bone fan in his hand and recited: "The road is difficult, the road is difficult, and there are many divergent roads. How can we be safe now? There will be strong winds and waves, and we will hang sails to help cross the sea."

"The sun is going to disappear, and you don't mind the cold. What are you talking about here?" Xu Wanning came out of the cabin, rolled her eyes at Li Xian, and complained.

Li Xian turned around and pulled his wife over, pointing to the river surface that was illuminated by the setting sun, and sighed: "If we don't have a panoramic view of such magnificent mountains and rivers, wouldn't we be living up to it?"

Xu Wanning shook off Li Xian's hand: "You'd better enjoy the cold wind here by yourself, I don't like the cold."

With that said, Xu Wanning twisted her waist and was about to go back to the warehouse, but was hugged by Li Xianqiang: "It's boring to be bored in the warehouse. How about we watch the sunset together here and enjoy the water rolling eastward?"

Xu Wanning broke away from Li Xian with a cold face and replied angrily: "I don't care about these things, you can see for yourself."

Xu Wanning raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at him, snorting coldly: "You are so sentimental."

After that, Xu Wanning ignored Li Xian's plea to stay and went into the warehouse on her own.

"I saw you fell asleep without a quilt, so I came over to cover you with a quilt. It's cold on the boat at night, so be careful of catching a cold." As he said that, Li Xian stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt away from Xu Wanning's feet. He was just about to cover Xu Wanning's body.

, but was snatched away by Xu Wanning.

Li Xian turned around without interest and walked toward the cabin casually.

After Xu Wanning left, Li Xian was alone on the deck looking at the river surface dyed by the sunset. The scenery was magnificent and intoxicating, but he suddenly felt that it was no longer interesting.

Xu Wanning took the cloth and wiped the tea stains on the table, then left Li Xian and went to bed alone.

Because this was what Xu Wanning had planned in his heart, he spoke very calmly.

Li Xian picked up the teapot and filled the tea cup in front of his wife. Xu Wanning was not polite, picked up the tea cup and drank carefully.

She paused and then said: "No matter how much you dote on those women, I have only one request, and that is that you cannot let those women ride on my head. If you feel that you have wronged your sweetheart in this way, wait until the children are adults.

Finally, I will take the initiative to give up my position and help you."

It was still early at this moment, so naturally she couldn't fall asleep yet. Xu Wanning lay on her side on the bed and squinted her eyes to rest.

Li Xian took off his shoes, walked onto the couch, knelt down and sat opposite Xu Wanning, poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at his wife and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Madam is worried that I will catch a cold, how can I not be grateful to my husband."

Li Xian sat on the couch in silence for a long time, and the cabin fell into dead silence again.

Li Xian also took a few sips of tea. He put down the tea cup, changed into a comfortable position and leaned on the soft pillow on the couch, looking at his wife carefully.

Li Xian looked at the back of his wife and murmured: "Then what should I do so that you are willing to forgive me?"

Li Xian replied: "I don't believe it's just me being sentimental, let alone that you have no affection for me at all."

Xu Wanning was about to fall asleep when she suddenly felt someone approaching her. She opened her eyes alertly and saw it was Li Xian. She subconsciously gathered her pajamas and said angrily: "What are you doing?"

Xu Wanning was completely disappointed with Li Xian. Even if she cared about him occasionally, it was because of her personality that she felt pity that he was so sick. Secondly, she did it for the sake of her children and couldn't bear to let young children because of her.

It's just sad things for adults.

Along the way, Li Xian was courteous to his wife in every possible way, but Xu Wanning showed no mercy. Without their two children, Xu Wanning simply lost patience with her perfunctory behavior and either made sarcastic remarks or scorned Li Xian.

Li Xian's only son was sitting on the couch on the ground.

She glanced at Li Xian indifferently and said with a cold face: "If I say that I have no affection for you at all, that's not entirely true. It's just that this affection is because of my children and because my family respects me and loves me.

Because of my elders and younger brothers and sisters. As for my love for you as husband and wife, ever since you said you wanted to reconcile with me, there is no trace at all."

The couple fell into a terrible silence again. The last ray of sunset faded, and the cabin became dark.

Xu Wanning put down the tea cup. Perhaps because she was a little angry, the tea cup fell on the table and spilled a little tea.

He stood on the ground and stared blankly at the side of his wife's back, and said: "I will never accept another woman from now on. You will never forgive me for the rest of my life. I will wait for you for the rest of my life."

Xu Wanning was sitting on her knees on the couch in the cabin, drinking tea by herself. When she saw Li Xian coming in, she said calmly without raising her head: "Why don't you let the cool breeze pour in at the bow?"

Xu Wanning squinted her eyes and replied: "You don't have to do anything for me. No matter what you do, I will never forgive you. Let's just make do with it for the sake of our children. You will be here in the future."

I won’t stop you from accepting other women, and I won’t make trouble with you like I did before. You can be friendly with whoever you want.”

Although Li Xian has never been satisfied with Xu Wanning's temperament, after experiencing this change, he has really lost her heart. Li Xian only feels empty every day, as if he has no hope for life anymore.

After Li Xian heard Xu Wanning's heartless words, his face became slumped, his eyes drooped, and he didn't know what to say.

"I'll do it myself, I don't need to trouble you." After saying this, Xu Wanning turned sideways again.

Love is love. If you don’t love it, you really don’t love it.

Xu Wanning noticed Li Xian's gaze, she raised her eyes and gave him a cold look, and said displeased: "Why do you look at me like this?"

Although Li Xian was very unhappy with how his wife treated him, he also understood that he was at fault in the first place and had broken his wife's heart. Therefore, no matter how coldly Xu Wanning treated him, Li Xian did not dare

No matter how angry you are, you will always have a smile on your face all day long.

A straightforward person like Xu Wanning was impatient to be pretentious with someone he had already thrown out of his heart. After listening to Li Xian's words, he changed the topic and got down to business: "I will arrive in Huaiyin tomorrow. Occasionally there are people in Huaiyin.

Water bandits are infested, so my second brother asked us to dock at Huaiyin and wait for my uncle to send someone to pick us up."

Three feet of ice can't be frozen in a day, and my wife's heart knot can't be resolved in a day or two.

Seeing that his wife didn't want to talk anymore, Li Xian didn't dwell on the matter anymore and just followed Xu Wanning's topic and replied: "Tomorrow morning we will dock and wait for my uncle's people. Don't worry, we have people on board."

Guard, besides, I will protect you even if there is danger."

Xu Wanning snorted coldly and thought to herself: If we encounter danger, we are not sure who will protect whom.
