Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Jiang Jingya sighed, "Not a single one of them lets me rest easy."

Huo Shanhe watched her finish a glass of milk and hurriedly offered her a half cup of warm water, "Children have their own fortunes. Worrying too much makes you age faster. You might as well spend some time caring for me."

Upon hearing about aging faster, Jiang Jingya touched her face, "You’re the one aging. Ever since I started using the face cream my daughter-in-law gave me, whoever sees my skin can’t help but praise it."

Huo Shanhe knew his little wife was most concerned about her skin, "Yes, yes, you’re the most beautiful and youthful, right?"

Jiang Jingya was unhappy hearing that, "Huo Shanhe, what do you mean by that?

What’s this ’right’ supposed to mean?"

Seeing his wife was truly upset, Huo Shanhe quickly tried to appease her, "Oh dear, look at me and my poor choice of words. You look much younger than others your age. Trust me, I know best how youthful you are. Isn’t that right?

Let the children handle their own affairs naturally. Didn’t you always worry Jingrui would stay single? But he found himself a wife, didn’t he? So you don’t have to overthink Jiayuan’s matters either. Although our daughter may not be the sharpest when it comes to finding a partner, she’s fine in other aspects. Give her a little more time, okay?"

As he spoke, he took the cup from Jiang Jingya’s hand, "Alright, it’s getting late. We should go to bed."

The truth was, when the topic of youth came up earlier, he found himself suddenly aflame with passion.

Showing attentiveness, he set the cup down, then turned off the lights.

In the pitch-black room, Jiang Jingya’s coquettish voice sounded, "You shameless old man, I’m still mad. What are you trying to do?"

"I need to prove that I’m not shameless and still in my prime. Isn’t that what I said earlier? That I’m well familiar with your youthful skin. I’ve been away with the troops for a while, so I’m worried I’d forget. Come on, let your man appreciate it properly and remember it well,"

Jiang Jingya raised her hand to hit Huo Shanhe, but to Huo Shanhe, it felt just like getting tickled, igniting his desire even more.

Jiang Jingya wanted to say something, but Huo Shanhe lowered his head and kissed her, making her so angry that she gave his waist a hard twist.

It wasn’t long before she too succumbed along with Huo Shanhe.

Despite being sixty, perhaps owing to years of training, Huo Shanhe was certainly not outdone by younger men in this regard, which pleased her greatly.

After all, when she gathered with friends, they often discussed matters like these. Some of their husbands were more than ten years younger than hers but still couldn’t compare to her old man.

Sino Yunyi had the day off today, so she didn’t set an alarm. She didn’t want to exercise and just wanted to sleep until she naturally woke up.

But contrary to her wishes, by not yet six o’clock, arguing could be heard in the hallway, "Dad, I just want to ask, am I really your biological daughter?"

"What nonsense are you talking? If you’re not my biological daughter, whose daughter are you?"

"Then why are you treating me like this?"

"You know the situation at home. Your sister’s not well; if she went to the countryside, the consequences would be unimaginable. Can’t you be more understanding?"

"She’s not well, so does that mean I’m perfectly fine? All these years, the good food and drinks at home have been reserved for her. What about me? You could say I’ve never had a filling meal. I’ve never seen you care about me. You’re such a good dad."

Hearing the argument, Yunyi knew immediately which family it was.

Yesterday at noon, when she came back, she saw the girl in the argument couldn’t get into her house. She heard her biological dad and stepmom had taken her step-siblings to attend a wedding feast and didn’t take her along, which was one thing, but they hadn’t even left the door open for her.
