After Transmigrating, I Gained a Wife - Chapter 4

“My name is Luo Yan. How may I address you, Shopkeeper?”

Shopkeeper: “I am called Pu Han.”

Luo Yan: “Alright, Boss Pu!” Hahaha, addressing him like this felt quite good. Hearing this, the shopkeeper felt a bit embarrassed.

Pu Han: “I don’t deserve the title of ‘Boss,’ truly.” This person suddenly spoke so pleasantly, yet they had been so sharp and clever just a moment ago.

Luo Yan: “This is my wife, Hanxue.” She introduced her wife to Boss Pu.

Pu Han: “Greetings, Madam Luo.” As expected of someone so sharp; even the wife he married is this beautiful, he thought.

Li Hanxue: “Greetings, Boss Pu.” Luo Yan’s grand introduction made her feel quite shy.

Luo Yan and Boss Pu exchanged a few more pleasantries, and she gave him her address. Then, she and her wife continued browsing the market, heading back toward the livestock area.

Luo Yan: “Wife, they’re selling mung bean cakes here. Let’s buy some.” She didn’t know if her wife liked them, but according to the original body’s memory, Mother Luo enjoyed them.

Li Hanxue: “Okay.” She hadn’t eaten them in a long time herself and missed the taste a bit.

“Wife, wait a moment on the donkey cart; I’ll go buy them.”

Li Hanxue nodded to Luo Yan, indicating she understood.

Watching Luo Yan strike up a conversation even while buying mung bean cakes, she truly admired this person’s social skills.

When Luo Yan returned, Li Hanxue curiously asked what they had talked about.

Luo Yan: “I bought one box for the house, but I also had the shopkeeper wrap two pieces in paper separately. I thought you might want to eat them while sitting on the cart.”

Li Hanxue’s heart warmed intensely; this person was very thoughtful toward her.

“Thank you.”

Luo Yan: “Don’t say thank you to me. You are my wife; of course I have to be good to you. Let’s head out.”

Li Hanxue took the mung bean cakes Luo Yan handed her. The two of them headed to the livestock area to meet up.

Luo Yan: “Shopkeeper, have you finished your meal?”

The man knew she was just being polite. “I’ve eaten.”

Luo Yan: “Just wanted to say goodbye. We’re heading back now.”

Shopkeeper: “Alright. I’ve already arranged a person. He will follow behind you to deliver the goods.”

Luo Yan: “Thank you, Shopkeeper. We’ll cooperate again next time we meet.”

The shopkeeper saw the couple off, and the two of them set out for home.

On the way back, Luo Yan noticed her wife seemed a bit tired. She directly reached out, wrapping her arm around Li Hanxue’s waist and pulling her closer.

Li Hanxue was incredibly embarrassed—they were still outside! And there was someone following behind them!

Luo Yan: “Lean on me and rest for a while. I’ll call you when we arrive.” She really liked the faint fragrance coming from the girl in her arms. She couldn’t help but want to get even closer to her.

Hanxue tried to pry Luo Yan’s hand away, but instead, the other person caught her hand and held it. Li Hanxue gave up and rested her head directly on Luo Yan’s shoulder to sleep.

Luo Yan felt a surge of joy when Li Hanxue didn’t pull her hand away. She couldn’t resist and took the initiative to clasp it firmly.

Sigh, the wife’s hand is so soft, tender, and fair. I can’t bear to let go.

…

The person following behind didn’t pay much attention to any of this.

Having a mode of transport was so convenient! On the return trip, they reached home in less than half the time it took to walk there.

Mother Luo was sitting in the courtyard; the main gate was open. Seeing what looked like her daughter returning, she couldn’t quite believe it. Where did this donkey cart come from? And she had bought so many things! She must have hitched a ride.

“Hanxue, wake up~ We’re home.”

Li Hanxue had just fallen asleep and didn’t want to pay attention to Luo Yan.

“Wife, if you don’t wake up, I’m going to carry you into the house!” She wasn’t joking.

Hearing Luo Yan say this, Li Hanxue immediately opened her eyes and looked at her. She quickly moved away from the other person.

Luo Yan got off the cart first. Seeing her wife about to climb down, Luo Yan changed her mind and swept her wife up in a bridal carry.

“You… Luo Yan, put me down! I can walk by myself.”

Luo Yan just grinned at her wife. She said something to the person waiting with the cow, asking him to wait a moment, and then carried her wife into the house.

As soon as she entered, she saw her mother. Luo Yan greeted her but didn’t put her wife down. “Mother, Hanxue is a bit tired. I’m taking her to the room to rest for a bit.”

Mother Luo: “Go on in then.” It seems my daughter and Xiao Xue are getting along quite well.

Li Hanxue hadn’t expected that even in front of the mother, this person wouldn’t put her down. She could only hide her face in embarrassment against Luo Yan’s neck, clutching onto her.

Luo Yan placed her directly on the bed. “Rest well for a while. I’ll call you before dinner. Mother won’t mind, don’t worry.”

Li Hanxue: “Alright then, but please explain it to Mother again.”

Luo Yan: “I will.” My wife is truly adorable. She tucked her in before heading out.

Luo Yan: “Thank you very much. These five copper coins are for your travel expenses.”

The worker, Xiao Wang, was stunned when Luo Yan gave him another five coins. “Young Master, the shopkeeper already paid me. This isn’t necessary.”

Luo Yan smiled. Out of the 50 coins she paid the shopkeeper, this man probably only received a fraction. “Take it. It’s not much.”

Xiao Wang: “Thank you, Young Master.”

Luo Yan: “You’re welcome. Head back early.”

“Farewell.”

Mother Luo waited until the man left before speaking to her daughter. “Xiao Yan, did you buy all of this?”

Her mother surely couldn’t believe it. “Yes, I bought it.”

Mother Luo: “Where did you get so much money? Did you spend Xiao Xue’s money?”

Luo Yan explained how the money came about. After hearing it, Mother Luo was still in a daze. She couldn’t believe her daughter had earned 7 taels of silver all at once.

Luo Yan first pulled the donkey cart into the courtyard and asked her mother to take the purchased goods inside. She also led the cow into the yard; it wasn’t safe to leave it outside. Not many families here owned a cow. People usually kept them inside and raised dogs just in case. Thinking of this, she decided the family should get a dog too.

There was a fenced area in the yard previously used for chickens. Now it was perfect; they would have fresh chicken and duck eggs to eat every day.

Mother Luo: “Why did you buy a donkey cart and a cow?”

Luo Yan: “The cart makes traveling easier, Mother. And the cow is a dairy cow; she can provide milk every day.”

She even bought wine—the girl truly doted on her father.

Luo Yan: “Mother, I bought you mung bean cakes. Did you see them?”

Mung bean cakes? She had been so busy moving things she hadn’t looked closely. “Let me see.”

Her mother was also quite cute, not even noticing the cakes. Following her mother in, Luo Yan picked up the cakes and gave them to her.

Mother Luo: “You have a couple of pieces too.” The cakes were good, tasting like they came from that famous shop in the market.

Luo Yan: “Okay.”

Mother Luo: “You mentioned someone wants to learn painting from you. When is he coming?” Thinking about someone learning to paint from her daughter, she still couldn’t believe it. When did her daughter learn to paint?

Luo Yan: “I don’t know yet; it depends on how much he wants to learn.”

For dinner, they could have stir-fried greens, and since she bought meat, she could make potato stewed with meat and egg soup.

Luo Yan: “Father won’t be back for a while. Mother, let’s start preparing dinner.”

Mother Luo: “Alright.” She had two pieces of mung bean cake and felt very happy.

They steamed rice and made a cold radish side dish. Seeing the time, she knew her father would be back soon. “Mother, I’m going to wake Hanxue up.”

“Mhm.”

Luo Yan went to the room and saw her wife was still sleeping. Looking at that peaceful sleeping face, Luo Yan reached out and touched Hanxue’s cheek. Perhaps because she had been cooking, Luo Yan’s hand was very warm; Hanxue nuzzled against her palm.

Luo Yan felt her hand go stiff; she didn’t dare move. “Hanxue, wake up~ It’s time for dinner.”

Li Hanxue woke up hearing a voice. Realizing Luo Yan’s hand was there, she tried to turn her head to look and accidentally kissed it… Li Hanxue froze instantly.

However, a certain thick-skinned person thought that if her wife was this shy and shocked already, she would need to act decisively for their future happiness.

Luo Yan: “Get up.”

A shy Li Hanxue: “Mhm.” Her face was red enough to bleed.

Just as Li Hanxue was about to leave the room, Luo Yan pulled her back. She pulled her into her arms, and Li Hanxue suddenly found herself sitting on Luo Yan’s lap. “No rush to go out; Father isn’t back yet.”

“…Um, okay.”

Luo Yan used her other hand to tilt her wife’s chin up, forcing her to look at her. Li Hanxue blinked at Luo Yan and tried to turn her head away, but she didn’t succeed.

She only felt Luo Yan’s face getting larger in her field of vision. Finally, her lips were blocked by the other person. “Mmph… mmm…”

Li Hanxue’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Luo Yan, while the other person had her eyes closed, focusing intently on kissing her lips.

In a daze, Li Hanxue only heard Luo Yan tell her to “focus”…!

Luo Yan took advantage of the moment Li Hanxue tried to catch her breath to deepen the kiss. Soft and sweet—Luo Yan wanted more. For her own selfish desire, even when Li Hanxue was about to lose her breath, she explored gently, unwilling to pull away.

Luo Yan held the girl in her arms tightly. It felt as if she were lying on a cloud on a sunny day.

Finally, fearing her wife might get angry, Luo Yan reluctantly left Hanxue’s lips.

Her wife was so shy she didn’t dare look at her. Just now, when she told her to focus, the girl had slowly been moved by the kiss.

Luo Yan’s finger pressed against her wife’s lips; they felt a bit swollen from the kiss. She felt a bit of self-reproach; she had to be gentler next time.

Li Hanxue was so shy she simply hugged Luo Yan tightly, burying her head in Luo Yan’s chest. Just now, when she was out of breath, there were only the sounds of their breathing and kissing. It was very…

Luo Yan held her close, embracing her tightly and gently soothing her wife.

“Take a moment to calm down. We need to go out soon; Father should be home.”

Li Hanxue nodded, but she blamed Luo Yan in her heart. Before she could even react, this person had…

Father Luo returned and was startled by the donkey cart and the cow in the yard. Mother Luo explained what happened, planning to ask Luo Yan more about it later.

Mother Luo: “Xiao Yan, Xiao Xue, come out to eat.”

Luo Yan: “Okay, coming.” After replying, she asked Li Hanxue if she had recovered yet.

Li Hanxue took the chance to stand up and walk out. Luo Yan couldn’t stop smiling behind her.
