Awakened: The Spirit King!

Xie Yang slid open the door and walked into his room. Zhang Xiu and his wife sat opposite each other. A table was in between them. A few books were on it. There was a notebook in front of Lin Hua. She had practiced writing on it, so there were a few messy words on the paper.

They looked like children's scribbling. Xie Yang found them really cute, and his eyes curved into a smile. His wife was a whole jar of sweetness, ah!

"I hope you have been well since our last meeting, my lord."

"Good morning, lord husband."

The two ladies greeted him, and he replied to them with a nod.

"I feel good seeing you two getting together like friends. You are, right?"

Zhang Xiu gave him a slight nod and said, "My lady is lovely and not playful, and I feel comfortable interacting with her, so I have no issue being her study companion."

Zhang Xiu had seen many people, but the young girl in front of her was docile and obedient like a doll. She didn't have a single drop of scheming blood in her veins. Her type of people were the ones she liked a lot.

She knew people loved to take advantage of such kinds of people. However, she was going to make sure to train her so that she won't fall prey to other people's schemes.

"She is also gentle and kind to me, so I am happy to have her accompany me too."

There weren't many who were good to her, but her husband and the person he hired as her study companion treated her well, so she liked them.

Moreover, from the moment she started interacting with her, Lin Hua only found Zhang Xiu treating her with patience.

Lin Hua was a simple girl.

If she liked somebody, she would say it on their face.

"Since my wife has said so, I will leave her in your care." Xie Yang said to Zhang Xiu.

"I will do my best to educate her and make sure she knows how to read and write before the end of the year."

"I will do my best too and make sure her and lord husband's efforts won't go to waste." Lin Hua said as she clenched her tiny hand into a lovely fist.

She could tell that her dear husband had wasted money and time finding such an excellent and intelligent person to help her become literate.

She also believed that her study companion was willing to do her best to help educate her.

She didn't want to disappoint them and wanted to live up to their expectations.

Thus, she had decided to study extra hard to become literate by the end of the year.

After talking to them for a while and finding out that Zhang Xiu had been accompanying his wife and teaching her basic characters for a couple of minutes, Xie Yang came straight to the point, saying, "Wife, I hope you can accompany me for a stroll around the city, okay?"

She thought for a moment before gently saying, "It would be inappropriate to leave my teacher behind after studying for only a couple of minutes when she came all the way here so early in the morning to help me learn to read and write. So I am sorry, but I will have to decline your invitation."

Lin Hua immediately regretted saying that.

"Lord husband, you aren't angry with me, right?"

Xie Yang raised his hand, and she closed her eyes.

The next moment, she felt his warm hand pressing on her head gently.

Xie Yang patted her while gazing at her with love-filled eyes.

He could never feel angry at her.

Even if she refused him a thousand times, he wouldn't raise his voice at her.

She was a silly lass, but he liked that about her too.

"We can just let her come with us." Xie Yang said before glancing at Zhang Xiu. "Are you fine with that?"

She was wearing a veil to cover her face as she didn't want to horrify Xie Yang's wife.

"My lord and lady, I am feeling tired, so I will have to decline. I hope you two can go out alone and have a happy time." Zhang Xiu politely declined.

Xie Yang carried Lin Hua into his hands before she could say a thing. He secretly gave Zhang Xiu a thumbs up before leaving the courtyard. His actions made her smile. She thought that the two were a heavenly pair, one destined to end up together before even being born.

Lin Hua felt butterfly flapping their wings in her tummy as her man princess carried her to the carriage.

The servants and maids of the manor could only look at her in awe and envy. She was a cripple but was lucky enough to marry the youngest and most dotted son of the city lord. The cherry on top of the cake was that she had him wrapped around his fingers even though she was only his little wife.

Who in the manor didn't know that the youngest master cherished his little wife so much that he treated her like jade. He makes breakfast for her, helps her eat, gives her time, and sleeps in the same bed as her! What more could a concubine ask for from her husband?

They had heard rumors that he loved her so much that he refused to let her take the wheelchair and instead used himself as her ride. But they refused to believe it. However, seeing was believing, and as it was happening right in front of their eyes, they could no longer deny the rumors.

They all ate dog food and at the same time thought that she was too lucky to have him.

Some of the maids gnashed their teeth and wished they could be in her place instead.

Who wouldn't want to climb into the bed of a wealthy young lord and become his little wife if they knew he would treat them with such care and love?

Most of them were young, and they wanted to indulge in romance.

They were the same maids who thought that it was Lin Hua's bad luck to marry a dying man and never spared a glance at Xie Yang.

However, now that he was fine and looking handsome and sturdy, they changed their attitudes towards him and found him a capable man worthy of being their knight in silver armor.

In the past, some of them had tried to climb the bed of the first young master as they thought that the third young master Xie Yang was not worthy of them. However, now they believed him to be worthy of being their man. Though, they weren't worthy of him as they were simply hypocrites who were slapped in the face by karma.

Xie Yang helped his gorgeous wife into the carriage before he started talking to the driver.

"Young master, where do you want to go?"

"Take us to the silver dragon clinic first."

"Alright, I will get the carriage moving."

"How long will it take for us to reach there?"

"There is not much traffic on the road at this time of the day, so maybe ten or so minutes."

"That's good." Xie Yang said as he entered the huge luxurious carriage before closing the door.

He would be able to finish his work soon and then go on a date with his wife.

Lin Hua thought the opposite.

She thought that he didn't want to spend much time with her and she could remain with him for approx 20 minutes.

Her eyes reddened, but she didn't voice out her sadness.

Xie Yang didn't know what was going on in his silly wife's head or how greatly she had misunderstood him, but he didn't fail to notice that the rim of her eyes was red, and he wondered whether she was feeling sleepy or not.

He circled his hand around her neck, pressed his hand on the side of her head, and guided her face on his chest, letting it rest there.

"If you want to sleep, then rest on my chest and close your eyes." Xie Yang said, his voice husky and seducing.

His chest was warm, and she felt her face getting hotter and hotter each passing second.

She felt that if she rested on his chest, her face would turn as red as a boiled crab.

"I don't think I will be able to sleep even if I want to because the ride is too bumpy. You don't need to trouble yourself looking after me." Lin Hua made an excuse that sounded like a complaint to Xie Yang as she tried to move her head away from him.

"Everything has a solution, silly lass."

Xie Yang placed a quick kiss on her lips, surprising her so much that her eyes widened like saucers. Her honey-like eyes were staring at him as if he was a hooligan who dared to do everything. They were in public, but he still kissed her. Did he not know shame? He didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, so while she was shocked, he grabbed her waist and helped her into his laps.

Her shock doubled as she found herself sitting on her husband's lap.

Her face and ears that turned red amused Xie Yang.

He could tell that she was feeling embarrassed.

They were in a box, and no one could see what was happening inside, but she was still going out of her mind because she knew they were on the road and doing such things she found too indecent.

To Xie Yang, though, a man and woman doing indecent things in an enclosed carriage carried a sense of novelty.

"I don't want to tire your legs out, so I dare not sit on your lap any longer." She said as she tried to wriggle away.

Xie Yang embraced her and kept her in place.

"Don't be shy and rest."

How could she rest, ah?!

She could feel his hot and sturdy stick beneath her.

She didn't need to guess to know that it was the thing he used to beat her meat a few nights ago!

Her heart started thumping wildly as dirty thoughts filled her mind, and as a sly grin appeared on Xie Yang's face.
