Chapter 358 Sweet Company (3)_1
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Xia Zheng waiting at the entrance of the main hall, looking at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, his face radiating with the contentment of being pampered by his wife.
Seeing his smirk that deserved a punch, Lin Yuan stuffed the bedding in her hand into his arms and tossed out a sentence before she returned to fetch the remaining bedding, "Hold these!"
Xia Zheng buried his head in the lofty bedding, feeling the softness in front of him, convinced that it was warmer than all the other blankets he had ever slept with.
After Lin Yuan had made the bed, Lin Yi had also prepared the hot water. Lin Yuan’s house didn’t have a large tub, so they used the biggest wooden basin, typically for laundry, as a makeshift bath. It just meant that they couldn’t sit inside to soak as one would do in an actual tub, but had to pour water over themselves with a scoop to bathe.
That’s how they always bathed at home.
Lin Yuan had initially worried that such rudimentary bathing conditions would be uncomfortable for Xia Zheng, but to her surprise, when Lin Yi brought over the large basin, Xia Zheng didn’t show any disdain at all, and after Lin Yi prepared the hot water, he simply waved him away.
The change of clothes and the bathing beans had been readied by Shopkeeper Liu before their arrival. Luxuries like bathing beans were not something Lin Yuan’s family had; even using a bean pod was considered extravagant.
Seeing that Lin Yuan was still standing at the door with no intention of leaving, Xia Zheng hooked his lips and casually undid a button at his throat, raising an eyebrow to say, "Oh, does Eldest Miss Lin want to admire the graceful figure of this young master, or is she planning to take advantage of him?"
