221 Journey 1

Ming Xiao residence

While Ming Hui was busied talking to Fan Dan, Ming Xiao visited his wife. Lin San was staying in the house, cleaning the room with the servants. No-It was more corrected to say that she was ordering the servant to clean the room as she looked around at their work.

"San\'er, shouldn\'t you rest more?" Ming Xiao said helplessly.

Lin San eyes lit up. She grinned. "I have rest enough. It\'s the duty of wife to take care of the residence."

Ming Xiao knew that, but he didn\'t want Lin San to go overboard with it. "Your wound is pretty deep. It won\'t do you any good to overdo it."

"There\'s no need to worry. I\'m not working too much," Lin San reassured her husband.

Ming Xiao smiled wryly. "Let\'s have a walk first. I haven\'t seen everything on this house yet."

"Sure."

Walking side to side, the two of them walked inside the house. Lin San has toured the house once, so she talked a bit about the things, and the rooms in this house.

"Do you like the house?" Ming Xiao smiled.

Lin San nodded. Compared to the house in the palace, this house didn\'t differ too much. Besides, she can be at peace here without worrying about those from the palace coming to scrutinize her. This was the best she can ask.

"What are you going to do from now? You don\'t have plans to be idle, right?"

Ming Xiao laughed. "I will become an official in this city. That way, you can stay here peacefully and didn\'t need to move to the palace anymore."

Lin San beamed. The offer from Ming Xiao was tempting. She truly wished to stay here and didn\'t get involved with the war and the others. For her, all that she had experienced before was already more than enough.

"That\'s good."

Seeing the smile plastered on the other party face, Ming Xiao pulled her to his embrace. Lin San face turned red, but she didn\'t resist. Ming Xiao kissed her ear. "You don\'t have to worry about anything. Just stay here and wait for me. I will always protect you."

Lin San face turned even redder. She didn\'t know what happened to Ming Xiao for him to say such sweet words to her. He never said something like this previously. Did he hit his head during the journey?

Ming Xiao noticed the girl didn\'t respond to him. He rubbed his nose, she might be shocked to see the changes from him.

"I won\'t let you experience the same thing as before anymore."

This last sentence made Lin San understood a little about Ming Xiao\'s action. He might felt bad for making her suffer during those times. Although she didn\'t mind it very much, it seemed he felt bothered with it.

"I trust you," Lin San answered softly.

"It will be safe here," this city should be safe under Soujin protection was what Ming Xiao believed. Even if the time came for other forces to attack this place, he believed that this would still be the safe place for them.

Lin San also knew that this place was much safer although there were no really safe place during the war. Raising her head, she smiled. "You have to be careful outside too, there are many things that can happened. But remember I will be here waiting for you."

Exchanging glance, Ming Xiao decided to rest early. Holding her up, he brought her to the bedroom.

…

Yan\'s Residence

After Yan had got enough rest, he returned home. He needed to prepare himself to go on another journey, so it would be unwise to stay within Ming Hui work office any longer. Besides, the others were already going back to their residence.

He would need to go for a long time now. While walking back home, he wondered how should he tell his mother about this news. She might worry about him and didn\'t agree with his action.

When he arrived home, he noticed his mother was sitting in the living room calmly.

"Mother, I\'m back," Yan greeted.

Madam Qin eyes lit up when she saw the other party. She smiled sweetly. "How\'re you Yan? It has been some time since the last time you return."

Yan scratched his head awkwardly. It was rather true that he didn\'t manage to get home lately due to his business as Young Noble Han. He didn\'t even return home and slept over in his workplace. His mother might be feeling very worried about him.

"I\'m quite busy, so I can\'t go home."

Madam Qin nodded her head. "Do you eat properly?"

"I do."

"What about resting? Do you have enough rest during your time there?"

"I have rest enough. Mother, do you sleep properly when you\'re here?" Yan was not worried the servant would treat his mother badly because he already warned them beforehand. However, he did worry she didn\'t properly tend to herself because of him.

"I sleep properly. You shouldn\'t think too much about me and focus on your work," Madam Qin added.

Yan nodded. "I have landed a good business in Kai Kingdom."

"Kai Kingdom?" Madam Qin asked.

"Yes, I talk with some of them and they agree with my term, so I get a lot of money from the trade this time."

"I see. What about other places?"

Yan sat down near Madam Qin and leaned back. "Some of them agree with my term, but the rest didn\'t wish to get involved with me."

The name of Young Noble Han was still quite famous in this place. It was not like he didn\'t expect it since he could guess that some of them still didn\'t like him. Many of them tried to trick him, but regarding business, there was no way he was going to let them have their way.

"You must have it hard."

Yan shrugged. "I\'m already used to their response to me. It\'s not like I\'m always successful in my business."

Madam Qin nodded in understanding. "When will you go on another trip?"

At that question, Yan looked towards Madam Qin with a wry smile. He was still thinking about how to tell the other party about this new when she asked it to his face. Since she already asked, there was no way he wouldn\'t answer.

"I will go tomorrow, Mother."
