Wife is Delicate and Beautiful [HIATUS]

Chapter 22

Gu Wenxuan grasped Hu Rong's hand and walked forward gently, occasionally spoke to her. Hu Rong chatted with Gu Wenxuan while staring at the lovely environment around her; the breeze blew by, carrying a subtle aroma of flowers, which made people feel refreshed.

At the edge of the stream, Hu Rong broke away from Gu Wenxuan's hand. Seeing that there was no one around, she took off her shoes and socks, slowly put her feet into the stream, and splashed twice, all the fish around were scattered, and the stream was clear. At the end, Hu Rong's silver bell-like laughter came, and Gu Wenxuan felt his heart soften instantly.

He just stood aside, seeing his wife playing so happily, he didn't intend to stop at all, and in a trance, he recalled his former self.

He was enlightened at the age of five, and since then he has been up before dawn to study and practice martial arts, and only rested in the middle of the night. When he was ten years old, he entered the palace and became the prince's companion.

His parents raised him since he was a child, even if he has a family background, and chose to not work hard, he would still be able to live his life in luxury

But he was born as a human being, and what he gets on his own is the best and most suitable. He had to study hard, so that his future official career would go well, and get whatever he want.

When he was young, he kept in mind the teachings of his parents, studied hard, and improved himself. Later, he lived up to the expectations as a top scholar, won the gold list, and became a hot young official in the court. He was even better than his father.

In the ten years that followed, he served the country, his official career went smoothly, and he became the youngest first-rank official in the court. Apart from his marriage failures, he has almost no regrets in these years.

Later, when he arrived in Songyang County, he met Hu Rong. He was satisfied with his life after being married and being with her. He felt better.

He even thought he was getting more dependent on his wife. When he was on official business, he couldn't help but think of Hu Rong, wondering what she was up to and if she was thinking about him. This would have been impossible in the past.

Apart from his formal work, his parents and family, there was nothing he could care about so much in the past. He didn't care who he married as long as she could extend his heirs.

But now that he sees how much his wife loves him and how much he misses her, it is really wonderful; the two love each other happily, and if they have children in the future, life will be considered complete.

Thinking of this, Gu Wenxuan walked directly towards Hu Rong.

Seeing that she was no longer playing, he took a handkerchief from his bosom, grasped his wife's jade feet, patiently helped her wipe it, and assisted her in putting on her shoes and socks.

Hu Rong was a little shy, but with no one around, she didn't stop him. Gu Wenxuan unconsciously felt pleased when he saw his wife smiling at him.

"You have been walking for a long time, are you tired? How about I carry you on my back?" Gu Wenxuan hugged Hu Rong's shoulder and said softly.

Hu Rong saw that his eyes were hot, as if he was going to hug her in the next second. But seeing that there was no one around, Hu Rong nodded slightly.

Gu Wenxuan quickly squatted down, Hu Rong followed his lead and wrapped her arms around his neck, Gu Wenxuan supported her back and walked ahead gently, the horse followed his master slowly.

Gu Wenxuan's strength was such that even if he carried Hu Rong halfway up the mountain, he wouldn't be out of breath. The temperature gradually rose in the afternoon, but the temperature in the mountain was neither too chilly nor too hot, and it was quite refreshing.

Gu Wenxuan took the package on the horse's back, removed the water bag and pastries from it, drank two sips of water himself, and handed out the pastries to Hu Rong.

Hu Rong nibbled on a piece of red bean cake, which was soft and sweet. She couldn't help but squint, then took a piece and offered it to Gu Wenxuan, who was standing next to her.

Gu Wenxuan just stood there staring at the pastry. To be honest, he doesn't like eating these sugary and oily treats.

But he couldn't resist his wife's kindness, just as he was about to speak, Hu Rong gently urged Gu Wenxuan, like his sister-in-law had done with his nephew back home, to open his mouth.

Gu Wenxuan opened his mouth accordingly, and she fed him directly. Perhaps she was inexperienced, and her hand accidentally touched Gu Wenxuan's tongue, and Hu Rong immediately withdrew her hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

But as she thought about how Gu Wenxuan carried her up the mountain, she was frightened that he would be hungry, so she fed him another piece.

At this moment, Gu Wenxuan felt the sweetness that he had never felt before, and his heart softened.

He took advantage of the moment to take Hu Rong into his arms, and the two hugged each other, gazing out at the lovely scenery in the mountains and mumbling a few words here and there, much like a loving couple.

From afar, on the top of the towering peaks, there is a tall and strong man embracing a gentle and beautiful woman in his arms.
