The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Zhao Xiaochen was stationed at the guardhouse, where he was only allowed two days of rest each month to return home; traveling to and from there took a whole day. Consequently, Madam Zhao and Old Master Zhao, eager to cradle a grandchild, couldn’t say much since Pei Yuan had married into the family without having conceived.

If Pei Qin was considerate, Mo Heng could rest easy.

"Since you have nothing else to do at home, why don’t you join the cargo ship for a trip?" Shen Songming asked him. Even with an impaired right hand, this fellow could still execute moves with his left hand and knew martial arts. When Shen was heading out, he always made sure to bring two skilled bodyguards with him, so he’d have two extra free bodyguards!

"Only if I suspend my seal," Mo Heng replied coldly.

Shen Songming glanced outside the room, where Pei Qin had gone to the kitchen, beckoned Mo Heng closer with a curl of his finger, and whispered, "Have you noticed that she’s becoming increasingly distant from you? She’s not only emotionless towards you but also passionless!?"

Mo Heng stared at him with a cold gaze.

Shen Songming chuckled and said, "There’s a type of beauty in distance, for distance creates enchantment. Pei Qin is no simple woman; if you’re always hovering before her eyes, no matter how handsome or attractive you are, overexposure will turn your allure from moonlight to plain boiled rice. You must know that ’absence makes the heart grow fonder,’ right?"

Mo Heng just looked at him silently.

Shen Songming rolled his eyes, "Do you really think that if you leave your lair, I’ll swoop in and steal her away? If you stick with me, you can keep an eye on me too!"

"I’m not interested," replied Mo Heng curtly.

"The two of you have been married for almost three years now. Every marriage has a so-called ’seven-year itch,’ which is when both parties grow most tired of each other, leading to affairs and seeking thrills! You should also be aware of how quickly Pei Qin loses interest in things; if you left for a while and then came back, that freshness would keep going. Marriage needs excitement too!" Shen Songming half-seriously, half-jokingly tried to persuade Mo Heng to take a long journey.
