Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 819 - V664: Love Spans Mountains and Rivers, Love Lasts a Lifetime
However, Qiu Mingyan is really an eternal turtle.
Listening to Feng Chengyue speaking like that, he was still able to hold it in, his face turning slightly red, and he said: "Not hungry..."
Then raised Feng Chengyue’s body higher on his back and continued heading up the mountain.
Behind him, Feng Chengyue was almost dumbfounded with frustration.
A beauty throws herself at you offering such an opportunity, yet you say you’re not hungry? Oh dear heavens, is her boyfriend a fool?
In her dizzy anger, Feng Chengyue lost the mood to flirt, hugging his neck sullenly and not doing anything else, just leaning her head on his shoulder, sulking.
Qiu Mingyan’s lips curved into a deeper smile at this state of affairs.
Thinking about what he’d said earlier was "Not hungry," and not "Don’t want..." the curve deepened even more.
Once they reached the mountain, Qiu Mingyan started searching for herbs.
Feng Chengyue just watched him busily going up and down the steep cliffs, drenched in sweat, giving him a cold look.
Earlier, he had carried her up the mountain, making his legs already sore and tired enough. When he continued searching for herbs until he was too exhausted to keep going, she planned to pounce!
Hmph! She wouldn’t believe he’d have the strength to resist.
However, no matter how well she planned, she couldn’t match Qiu Mingyan’s stamina.
It was only when she sat on a rock feeling both hungry and thirsty, even when it was naptime and she was getting sleepy, that he still wasn’t done.
She lifted her eyes, looking at the cloud-covered sky, unable to tell what time it was, only estimating based on her usual surgery hours that it might be past one? Past two?
In the end, Feng Chengyue was so hungry she had no energy left.
Like a cat, she sighed, "Mingyan... I’m so hungry, when do we go down to eat?"
Qiu Mingyan finally looked at her and asked, "Hungry? Out of energy?"
"Yes."
"Then let’s head down, I’ve gathered enough." Putting the herbs into the bag he’d brought up, tying it to his belt, he took Feng Chengyue’s hand and started down the mountain.
This answer made Feng Chengyue feel, for a second, that she might have been seen through and fooled by Qiu Mingyan.
She almost spat a mouthful of blood from her frustration.
But she was truly starving, with no energy at all to be angry. All she wanted now was someone to give her a bowl of food to eat her fill before getting mad.
And as for getting down the mountain—
The feeling of climbing up and descending is completely different.
Climbing up tires the thighs, going down makes the calves tremble.
Since Sichuan’s mountains are quite steep and the soil rather loose, Feng Chengyue had a hard time going down.
Not accustomed to walking it, there were several times she almost slipped.
Fortunately, she ended up throwing herself into Qiu Mingyan’s embrace several times.
Qiu Mingyan caught her well each time, but seeing how she lunged at him due to her legs giving out made his eyes gleam humorously. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
This laughter from Qiu Mingyan reminded Feng Chengyue of when she teased him for rushing his surgery reports at the hospital.
Back then, Feng Chengyue’s surgical reports were always done quickly and well, the handwriting beautiful enough to be praised as a template by Professor Li Mingda.
But now...
Ugh, so infuriating...
Feng Chengyue gritted her teeth internally, unable to say a single word of rebuttal, she could only clutch her clothes hem, watching Qiu Mingyan laughingly hold onto her down the mountain, enduring almost slipping for the Nth time.
After getting down, Feng Chengyue was completely exhausted, sitting on a stone with no desire to move.
The first time she sat in an ox cart, Feng Chengyue wondered how this day and age still had people using such transportation?
Then she saw a local traveling in an ox cart right on the mountain path.
Feng Chengyue’s eyes lit up immediately, urgently pointing, "Ox, ox, ox..."
This reaction made Qiu Mingyan’s shoulders shake with laughter, his eyes crinkling into crescents.
Feng Chengyue saw this, her cheeks instantly flushing with anger, unable to speak.
Finally, Qiu Mingyan stepped forward to greet the villager, letting Feng Chengyue onto the ox cart while he stayed behind.
Feng Chengyue asked him in surprise, "Aren’t you going home for dinner?"
Qiu Mingyan smiled, showing her the bag of herbs at his waist, "I’m going to deliver these to Uncle Chen first. The ox cart moves slowly; it’ll only take me twenty minutes to run there and back. You go ahead."
His gentle voice was like every boyfriend tenderly instructing his girlfriend.
Feng Chengyue should have felt very happy hearing this, but upon realizing Qiu Mingyan still had the energy to run to Uncle Chen’s, she wondered if she might just die of anger.
The ox cart brought her back to the Qiu residence, and upon arriving, she fetched a basin of water to wash her face and hands.
Qiu Mingyan returned.
The speed of it all left Feng Chengyue speechless.
Upon finding his younger brother, sister, and mother had all gone up the slopes to work the fields, after washing his own hands and face, Qiu Mingyan asked Feng Chengyue, "What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you."
Feng Chengyue looked at the time, 3:30 PM, then at her exceptionally capable boyfriend, and felt like crying without tears.
She really wanted to say: Eat you!
But at that moment, with pursed lips, she pitifully replied, "Rice."
That mournful gaze conceding to food fell into Qiu Mingyan’s eyes, brimming with a special cuteness...
Qiu Mingyan couldn’t help it, chuckled, his shoulders shaking as he walked away into the kitchen.
In the courtyard, Feng Chengyue nearly spat blood.
Looking at her boyfriend, who should be mild-mannered, Feng Chengyue couldn’t comprehend how Qiu Mingyan had mysteriously become so mischievous.
Naughty, yes, but not truly bad, since he never bullied her, always handling her antics.
So she had no grounds to blame him.
But, not getting to eat meat is so frustrating...
...
Thus, the first, second opportunities slipped away.
With the saying being ’there is no third without a second fail,’ Feng Chengyue resolved herself and launched the third offensive.
The opportunity came swiftly.
Two days later, a matchmaker came with a suitor for Qiu Mingxin, insisting on taking her to a distant village in Da Liang Mountain for a look.
Gui Lanzhi naturally accompanied her, but considering safety on the journey, Qiu Mingjun went along too.
The round trip should take two days.
Leaving only Qiu Mingyan and his paralyzed father at home.
At night, after cooking for his father and feeding him bite by bite, Qiu Mingyan went to wash the dishes.
Qiu Mingyan really knew how to do everything, which made Feng Chengyue feel both pity that Qiu Mingyan shouldn’t live such a life and admiration for how capable the man she liked was.
In this era, rich men don’t cook, those who cook don’t do the dishes, those who do dishes don’t wash clothes, and those who can do all these don’t make money.
Feng Chengyue lived with Qiu Mingyan for two years, well aware of how thoroughly she was taken care of.
Therefore, seeing her handsome boyfriend, though he might have gotten money from rich families through schemes, Feng Chengyue didn’t feel he was inferior at all, knowing he saved money to repay the villagers at the manor, she instead found him noble.
Thus — seeing her all-rounder boyfriend made Feng Chengyue even more determined to win him over.
Late at night, as Qiu Mingyan prepared a bath for himself, heating a huge bucket of water in the wooden tub, Feng Chengyue, through the rising steam, watched Qiu Mingyan’s back and her lips twitched...
