After receiving Ye Chuyan's response, Pei Xiuyan felt a little elated.
He hugged Ye Chuyan tightly, rubbed the top of her head with his chin, and said softly, "Ayan, thank you."
Ye Chuyan let out a muffled laugh on his chest, "Ace, why are you and I so indifferent?"
It's never too late to thank you for my gift.
Ye Chuyan looked up at Pei Xiuyan, "Ace, don't use your identity as King Qing today, and don't be cold-faced. Just like an ordinary couple, how about you go to the temple fair with me?"
Pei Xiuyan tucked a strand of hair from Ye Chuyan's forehead behind her ears and said with a smile, "Okay! You all listen to me."
He put away his coldness and arrogance, his whole person became much gentler, and his head was as simple as that of a fairy.
Pei Xiuyan really went to the temple fair like an ordinary young man taking his beloved wife.
Ye Chuyan said he wanted to eat candied haws, so he obediently lined up to buy it.
He stood in the crowd, standing out like a chicken, causing everyone around him to look at him sideways. The girls in line were distracted, and some deliberately took the opportunity to squeeze him.
Pei Xiuyan was just about to frown in displeasure, but thinking of Ye Chuyan's words, he suppressed his emotions and forced his lips to smile calmly.
Ye Chuyan was hiding in the distance and was overjoyed to see him holding back his displeasure and forcing a smile on his face.
Pei Xiuyan squeezed out from the crowd and held up two bunches of candied haws in front of Ye Chuyan as if offering a treasure.
"Ayan, try it quickly."
Ye Chuyan picked up one of the candied haws of apples and ordered arrogantly: "You can eat the other one."
"good."
Pei Xiuyan stuffed a mouthful into his mouth without hesitation.
It was sour, a little sweet and astringent, not very tasty, and he didn't like the taste.
However, since Ayan said it, he must finish it all.
"Ayan, don't you like sweets?"
He spent a lot of energy during this period to understand Ye Chuyan's preferences, and then he realized that Ye Chuyan didn't like sweets.
Ye Chuyan turned around and glanced at Pei Xiuyan, a little surprised, "A Ce is really careful. Now he knows that I don't like sweets."
These words made Pei Xiuyan suddenly choked up.
On the day Ye Chuyan had a miscarriage, there was a dispute because Zhao Yujiao's maid sent sweets and snacks to her, and Ye Chuyan didn't like it.
In anger, he threw Ye Chuyan down from the attic.
This incident made him feel heartbroken when he thought about it now. If it hadn't been for that incident, he and Ayan's child would have been born in half a year.
Ye Chuyan saw that Pei Xiuyan's eyes were suddenly filled with sadness. After chewing a big mouthful of candied haws, she joked: "I really don't like sweets, but this is an exception."
Because for so many years, she liked Pei Xiuyan too bitterly, so bitterly that she couldn't accept the sweetness.
Only the candied haws of sugar is sour and a little sweet, just like her relationship with Pei Xiuyan.
Pei Xiuyan's response to her was always sour, but as long as he saw him, there would be a hint of sweetness in his heart.
Pei Xiuyan didn't know how to answer the question for a moment, and said timidly: "Ayan, I...I remember."
Ye Chuyan had never seen such a humble Pei Xiuyan and couldn't help but smile.
Her smile made Pei Xiuyan feel relieved.
The two chatted and laughed again and continued shopping.
Seeing a lot of people gathered around a stall, Ye Chuyan pulled Pei Xiuyan over to join in the fun. When she squeezed in, she saw that the stall owner was selling wooden statues. Customers sit on chairs while the stall owner carves wooden statues on the spot.
Ye Chuyan seemed to be nailed to his feet and froze in place and stopped moving.
She thought of when she was at the Imperial Medical Office, Wu Yuelin said: My brother carved a wooden sculpture of you, and found someone to mix spices that smelled the same as yours and apply them on the wooden sculpture. He cherished that wooden sculpture as much as his life.
The circles under her eyes suddenly felt sour.
Pei Xiuyan saw Ye Chuyan's expression was different and thought Ye Chuyan wanted wood carvings.
So he went up to the stall owner and said: "I am willing to pay ten times the silver and lend you your wood and knives. I will make a wood carving for my wife with my own hands."
The stall owner was a smart man. When he heard about this business that was sure to make a profit, he immediately agreed.
He also said with a smile on his face: "Master, you and your wife are as beautiful as immortals, and so loving. They are truly a couple of gods."
Pei Xiuyan was very impressed by these words and threw a gold ingot to the stall owner. The stall owner took the gold ingot and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.
Pei Xiuyan selected from the wood for a long time, found a fairly good wood, and began to concentrate on carving. Every move was extremely elegant, like a fairy in a painting.
After just a few carvings on an ordinary piece of wood, Ye Chuyan's appearance could already be seen.
In the end, even the stall owner couldn't help but put down what he was holding and look at Pei Xiuyan.
Pei Xiuyan and Ye Chuyan's temperament and appearance were already outstanding, so his actions attracted all the passers-by to watch.
Ye Chuyan never dared to dream that the cold and noble Pei Xiuyan would lower his body and carve a wooden statue of a woman in front of everyone in this bustling city.
It turns out that a ruthless person can be so touching when he becomes affectionate.
It's a pity that Pei Xiuyan's belated affection is as lowly as her one-sided devotion to Pei Xiuyan! What's more, there is an abyss and hatred between her and Pei Xiuyan that can never be overcome.

After Wu Mu apologized to Zhang Xiuyu, he was forced to accompany Mrs. Wu, Wu Yuelin, and Zhang Xiuyu to visit the temple fair.
Zhang Xiuyu did not dare to look at Wu Mu along the way, but wholeheartedly supported and accompanied Mrs. Wu. Every time she accidentally caught a glimpse of Wu Mu, her face would turn crimson.
Mrs. Wu was very satisfied with Zhang Xiuyu's performance. She likes Zhang Xiuyu's shy, introverted, and knowledgeable temperament.
Wu Yuelin made fun of young Wu Mu's embarrassing things from time to time, which made Zhang Xiuyu want to laugh but dare not, but Mrs. Wu laughed without any scruples.
Wu Mu dared not speak out in anger at Wu Yuelin's behavior, and helplessly followed the three of them as a follower.
Seeing many people crowding a stall in front of him, and people cheering loudly from time to time, Wu Yuelin became very curious.
"Brother, go see what that stall sells and buy three copies. We'll wait for you here."
Wu Mu regretted that he had to drive out in person today and did not bring his slaves. Wu Yuelin made her stand around without saying anything, but she still had to squeeze into the crowd to buy things like a rude man.
He reluctantly squeezed into the crowd.
Before he could get to the front, he saw Ye Chuyan holding a wooden sculpture and looking down at it. Pei Xiuyan smiled as warmly as jade beside him, "Do you like it, madam?"
All Wu Mu could see was the wooden sculpture in Ye Chuyan's hand that was exactly the same as Ye Chuyan's. There was a voice echoing in his mind: I also have a wooden sculpture like this.
Wu Mu was a little confused and looked up at Ye Chuyan and then at Pei Xiuyan.
Pei Xiuyan said something else in Ye Chuyan's ear. Ye Chuyan's face turned red instantly, and she pulled Pei Xiuyan and left the stall quickly.
After leaving the crowd, Ye Chuyan let out a long sigh of relief. It was too painful to be forced to perform affectionately in front of so many people.
Pei Xiuyan calmly suggested, "Ayan, it's almost noon, how about we go have a meal?"
Ye Chuyan was looking at the wooden statue just now and didn't notice Wu Mu in the crowd, but he saw it.
He didn't want Ye Chuyan and Wu Mu to meet again, so he deliberately said in Ye Chuyan's ear: Madam, you should reward your husband well tonight.
Ye Chuyan then hurriedly pulled him out and ran out.
He discovered that he was really despicable and shameless. While enjoying Ye Chuyan's kindness, she was also suspicious. She always suspected that Ye Chuyan would wake up one day and thought that she would have different feelings for Wu Mu because of how kind Wu Mu had been to her.
