Chapter 238: 238 The husband is the most obedient (first update)

Li Xianyun seriously devoured the roasted stuffed bun, and when she glanced up, she noticed that Yelu Yan was still looking at her, "Husband, why aren’t you eating?"

In his hand, he held a roasted stuffed bun, barely taking a few bites, but his gaze was always on her, which seemed rather odd.

Yelu Yan sighed softly and walked over, scooping her up into his embrace and letting her sit on his lap.

It’s often said that after a woman becomes intimately close to a man, she undergoes significant changes, becoming more concerned about that man, prone to anxiety over gains and losses, and turns much more tender and soft.

But his woman was truly different; far from showing any signs of change, she hadn’t even noticed he hadn’t embraced her after getting into the carriage.

Well, there was no point in making himself uncomfortable.

Yelu Yan wrapped his arms around her, lowered his head to kiss her little face, but was thwarted by Li Xianyun blocking his mouth with her roasted stuffed bun.

"Eat properly."

That morning had been filled with deep affection, and she had allowed him to indulge himself, but now there seemed to be a slight coldness.

Yelu Yan bit into her roasted stuffed bun and chewed with dissatisfaction.

Li Xianyun noticed some crumbs on the corner of his mouth, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and gently wiped his lips, her voice soft and delicate, "You eat just like a little child."

Yelu Yan’s smile appeared instantly at the corners of his mouth, his brief annoyance dissipating like smoke, and he adored her deeply.

As they were nearing the Border Market, Li Xianyun sat on Yelu Yan’s lap playing with his well-defined hands, while he held her from behind, resting his chin on her slender and pretty shoulder, their faces close together, his lips curved in a smile.

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Xianyun’s red lips parted gently, "Husband, are we almost there?"

Yelu Yan rubbed his smooth, tender little face against hers, "We should be close, I believe."

Li Xianyun was not pleased and gave his rough hand a gentle slap.

Yelu Yan had no choice but to sit up straight and open the carriage window.

The Border Market was now in sight.

Li Xianyun hastily said, "Bater, stop the carriage."

Bater tightened the reins and "whoa"ed, slowing the carriage to a stop.

Yelu Yan looked down at Li Xianyun in confusion, "What’s the matter?"

Li Xianyun, looking up at him with a smile, said, "Husband, please get out of the carriage."

Yelu Yan was puzzled like a monk scratching his head, "Why?"

"Oh dear, you’re just too conspicuous following me around," Li Xianyun stated bluntly.

With his tall and handsome stature, standing out like a crane amongst chickens, his presence was quite striking, making it easy for others to recognize him.

If Yelu Yan were to be recognized, her own identity would be exposed, and how then could she find channels to sell her preserved fruits?

The carriage window was open, and her voice had carried through.

Zhuo Ma, upon hearing this, was stunned; no one had ever dared to send the Khan away or say he was in the way.

Where would Yelu Yan agree, "How have I been in the way? When you were treating people, I just watched from a distance and didn’t interfere."

Although at first, he had drawn quite a crowd of women, nearly causing chaos, it had been fine once he kept his distance.

Li Xianyun chuckled, "You’re not in the way; it’s just... not that convenient with you following me."

Wasn’t that the same as being in the way?

Seeing that Yelu Yan still wasn’t budging, Li Xianyun stretched out her hand to close the window, cradled his sharply chiseled, handsome cheeks, and gave him several firm kisses. Her slender arms wrapped around his broad neck, she shook it lightly, and looked at him playfully, "Husband is the best."

This was extremely effective for Yelu Yan; his Adam’s apple bobbed, "You think to bribe your husband with such little favors?"

Li Xianyun had no choice but to use her trump card, grasping Yelu Yan’s neck tightly, her tender body leaning close, and in a soft coo whispered by his ear, "Shall we save the rest for the evening?"

Upon hearing this, a tingling sensation rushed up from his lower back, rapidly awakening the memories in his body, and his face turned red.

Then looking at Li Xianyun—the instigator—smiling as if nothing was amiss, charming and seductive.

Unable to help himself, Yelu Yan raised his hand to clasp the back of her head and captured her lips, kissing her deeply.

"Mmm..."

Li Xianyun closed her eyes, let out a soft "uh" sound, and as Yelu Yan dominantly devoured her, her long, dense black eyelashes trembled helplessly, her delicate arms wrapped around his neck slowly tightening.

After a deep kiss, Yelu Yan’s attractive thin lips rubbed back and forth over Li Xianyun’s flushed ones.

A desire hard to contain.

Yelu Yan slightly lifted his head to look into her watery eyes, gasping for breath, "This is what you said, no going back on your word."

Li Xianyun could see the most primal longing in Yelu Yan’s deep tiger-like eyes, searing her, and had they not been in a carriage, she truly didn’t know what he might do.

Li Xianyun gently pursed her reddened lips and let out an "mmm" sound.

Little did she know that this action was undoubtedly a temptation to Yelu Yan, sending his evil thoughts running wild.

Yelu Yan suddenly captured her lips, rolling over them, leaving no space untouched.

Li Xianyun found herself momentarily lost in it, but fortunately, her reason returned, and she pushed his shoulders with her small hands, mumbling, "Husband... my lord..."

It was as if Yelu Yan hadn’t heard her, continuing to have his way.

Li Xianyun had no choice but to turn her head away, but the man mirrored her move and took her lips again.

Helpless, Li Xianyun bit him lightly.

Yelu Yan laughed softly, finally lifting his head, touching his own lower lip, and looked at her with a smile.

Li Xianyun’s face was red, and she lowered her voice, "Husband, if you don’t get off soon, you’ll arouse suspicion."

"Then a hug," Yelu Yan said with a smile.

This man was really clingy, and weren’t they always holding each other anyway?

Yelu Yan held Li Xianyun tightly, burying his head deep in the nape of her neck, "Let’s continue tonight, hmm?"

Li Xianyun’s face was burning, and she cajoled him with an "mmm."

But the tall and burly man showed no signs of letting her go.

"Husband," Li Xianyun said coquettishly.

Yelu Yan reluctantly let her go, cradling her little face and nibbling it several times before releasing her.

Li Xianyun struggled to slide out from Yelu Yan’s embrace, whispering, "Let’s hurry."

Yelu Yan pushed open the carriage door and jumped down.

Zhuo Ma and Youlan exchanged a smile, Khan sure was overly indulgent with the princess, doing whatever she asked.

Li Xianyun left two horses for Yelu Yan and Jinwu.

Li Xianyun opened the carriage window and hooked the curtain on the golden hook, "Husband, we’re leaving now."

"Hmm."

The carriage moved forward slowly.

Yelu Yan watched the direction in which the carriage was disappearing, a doting smile spread across his face.

Jinwu saw the Khan with a lovestruck expression and could not help but smile with pursed lips.

As the carriage faded into the distance, Yelu Yan turned to take the reins of the Fiery Flame Horse.

Jinwu opened his mouth, "Khan, where are we heading now? Are we going after the bandits?"

"To the Border Market."

Jinwu was stunned; if they were both going to the Border Market, why did the princess insist on Khan getting off? Wasn’t that redundant?

But Khan couldn’t override the princess’s decision.

Khan always listened to the princess, complying with whatever she said, spoiling her to the skies.

Yelu Yan mounted his horse and rode off, with Jinwu quickly urging his horse to follow.

Li Xianyun arrived at the spot where she had set up her stall the day before, where quite a crowd had already gathered, adults and children alike, all lining up to buy candied fruits, making the scene very lively.
