Even though she rolled once, Yun Qian was not hurt at all; ultimately, she had just dirtied her clothes.
Clearly, Xu Changâan had planned this to make her fall.
ââ
The heavy rain fell, but it was stopped by Xu Changâanâs Spiritual Power not far from the carriage roof.
The woman in Qingyi drove the carriage seriously, heading steadily towards the destination without any bumps.
Inside the carriage.
Miss Yun didnât know if intentionally bullying someone made a person bad, but Xu Changâanâs motive was really obvious.
Yun Qian looked at her clumsy outfit, her delicate jade hand resting on her tan waist, and asked calmly.
"Is it because you dislike what Iâm wearing?"
If he didnât like it, it was just clothes, changing them wouldnât be a problem.
Xu Changâan: "..."
Listening to Yun Qianâs words, he silently grabbed her wrist.
Miss Yun quietly looked at the young man before her, gazing at the curtains of rain faintly visible outside the window, and thought that apparently it was not about disliking her outfit.
Yun Qian blinked at Xu Changâan.
She wasnât worried about changing clothes in the carriage despite her lack of energy at the moment.
A husband wouldnât bully his wife in such a place.
Thus, Miss Yun was fearless.
"Miss, Iâm sorry." Being stared at by Yun Qian, Xu Changâan let out a long sigh: "I admit, my thinking was immature, but I couldnât help it. Miss, youâre really too beautiful, even without makeup, wearing a simple outfit, youâre still excessively..."
Xu Changâan looked distressed.
He still thought such a Yun Qian was radiant, so earlier he was deceived by a ghostly thought, thinking perhaps if Yun Qian was more disheveled, she wouldnât overshadow the guests.
"Is that it?" Yun Qian asked calmly.
Xu Changâan: "..."
Xu Changâanâs eyes twitched slightly, only after a while did he speak, questioning his life: "Miss, you can read minds, right? How come whatever I think or hide, you can perceive?"
"I canât read your mind." Yun Qian shook her head: "So what."
"So, the words earlier were just excuses." Xu Changâan sighed: "The truth is, we are going to a banquet, if Miss really went to see Senior Zhu all muddy and crumpled, it would be downright disrespectful, so my earlier actions... were honestly finding an excuse for myself, the real intention was indeed to openly bully the Miss."
Perhaps, Xu Changâan also thought letting the girl roll once in the carriage was a very amusing thing.
After Xu Changâan finished speaking, he looked at Yun Qianâs expression, but as usual, Miss Yun was calm.
"Miss, show some expression."
"Expression?" Yun Qian tilted her head, slowly saying: "You like to bully me, it has not been just a day or two."
"...Sorry."
"Why apologize?" Yun Qian thought for a moment, asking: "I donât really understand, however... why did you change your mind then."
Yun Qian was very aware that there were still things Xu Changâan hadnât made clear.
"Thatâs right, initially... I indeed thought about letting you be more disheveled, but later changed my mind."
Xu Changâan sat helplessly beside Yun Qian, reached out lightly to brush the dirt off her clothes.
"Because I found out, Miss will always be Miss, no matter what sheâs like, sheâs beautiful."
Yes.
From the beginning, his choice was wrong.
Whether without makeup, changing into simple clothes, or rolling in the carriage, none could truly diminish Miss Yunâs charm, it merely changed her from one kind of beautiful to another.
As they say, look from the side and itâs a ridge, look from the front and itâs a peak, so it is.
After realizing that no matter what, he couldnât make the girl less beautiful, he became "angry in shame," making the carriage lose its balance, but could never truly make Yun Qian hurt, so he protected her well.
Truly very contradictory.
ââ
Listening to Xu Changâanâs explanation, Yun Qian thought deeply.
Was she being bullied?
Yet... why couldnât she feel happy?
Yun Qian furrowed her brows.
This was indeed a strange matter, because she was a bad person, normally her husbandâs bullying would make her happy, rather than feeling calm now.
Unless...
He was using bullying as an excuse, simply saying one thing but meaning another.
Yun Qian pursed her lips, staring at the curtain swaying with the wind, faintly seeing the blue-green of the driving womanâs clothes.
She suddenly said: "She drives the carriage very steadily."
"..." Xu Changâanâs fingers visibly trembled for a moment.
"So..."
Yun Qian was about to speak when Xu Changâan interrupted her: "Iâm useless, Miss, donât continue your words."
Xu Changâan held his forehead, his tone bearing some uncontainable grievance: "Alright, I only simply learned, yet didnât expect... actually driving on the road is so challenging to control."
Watching her husbandâs complaining expression, Yun Qian was stunned for a moment before she blinked.
She couldnât understand at all.
If the driving skills are not well-honed then just say so, why prefer excuses like making her dirty, claiming he was intentionally bullying her, rather than admitting that his driving skills are poor?
Truly incomprehensible.
However, she roughly understood what the books meant by saying men are occasionally cute like children.
Children arenât as endearing as her husband.
Sensing Yun Qianâs confusion, Xu Changâan finally dropped his façade for a moment, embracing Yun Qianâs waist.
"Miss, you donât understand?"
"Mm, I donât understand." Yun Qian thought that right now, she could only understand the warm comfort of Xu Changâanâs body temperature.
