Chapter 406: Inseparable
406 Inseparable
Inside her house, Jun Hua returned to her room to play with Shou'er. This has become one of her daily activities since she didn't want to leave her son alone too long. Nanglong Soujin watched his wife focusing on their son with a rather helpless feeling. She paid more attention to the little boy rather than him.
"Hua'er, it's time for the boy to sleep," Nanglong Soujin didn't let her have days off for her to accompany the little boy.
Jun Hua handed the boy to the nursemaid and turned towards Nanglong Soujin. She wore a helpless expression in her face as she walked, "I know. Since it has been some time, do you want me to cook for you?"
"I will help you."
Whenever they have the time, they would use the kitchen by themselves. Nanglong Soujin had learned a lot from Jun Hua how to cook although most of the time his task was only to cut the vegetables and help her maintain the fire.
Jun Hua picked the vegetables to cook as she talked, "I received a letter from Grandpa yesterday. He complained that Grandpa Souka and Grandfather lived too near each other in the Mountain Kingdom."
When Nanglong Soujin handed over the picture of the place to his grandfather, he didn't tell the latter that Jun Zhenxian place was close with him. It was only after he moved there did he knew that he and his old friend now lived close to each other. Of course, the two of them sent countless letters to complain to their grandchildren.
"They are old friends that love to stay with each other. Let them stay there and enjoy each other company," Nanglong Soujin remarked.
Jun Hua smiled at the thought of her grandfather and Soujin's grandfather quarreling with each other every day. Previously, they only met with each other occasionally, but now they could meet almost every time. Their old days would surely be very interesting.
"Mother also visited them very often. She seemed to miss your grandfather a lot," Jun Hua commented.
Nanglong Soujin nodded his head. His mother has lived with his grandfather for years, so she surely already felt more comfortable to stay with that old man rather than living alone. On the other hand, she loved to come here too to play with her grandson.
"What should I do with this one?" Nanglong Soujin pointed to a radish.
"You have to cut it like this," Jun Hua answered and gave him the pointer. Before long, the two of them finished cooking the food and eat them together.
Xia cleaned up the table with a straight expression. She tried her best to not look at the two of them playing with each other. It has been a long time since she served Jun Hua and she knew that the two of them were more similar to ordinary couple rather than a noble.
What kind of noble would want to work in the kitchen?
Jun Hua looked towards her servants. She once wanted to marry them off, but they refused vehemently, saying that they want to stay by her side forever. Hearing that answer, she can only forget about the matter and let them stay with her.
"It has been some time since we have time together, let's walk around," Nanglong Soujin offered his hand.
Jun Hua placed her small hand on top of his. After not using the sword for a long time, her hand had turned soft, just like any other nobles. Caressing the hands for a moment, Nanglong Soujin stayed still for a few seconds before leading her outside.
The sky was bright with countless birds chirping outside, making the atmosphere warm and beautiful. Walking on the garden, Jun Hua eyes wandered to the beautifully tended flowers and other plants. Since they loved to walk here, the servants always tended to them very carefully.
"Are we perhaps too harsh to the servants?" Jun Hua smiled wryly at the sight of the servants maintaining their vigilance high when they came near the servants.
"Servants need to be tactful and know their place well," Nanglong Soujin remarked. "If they overstepped their bounds, there's no good ending for them."
She knew that, she only mentioned it carelessly. She watched as the leaf fell from the tree. It has been some time since she started to live this peacefully. She can't say that she has gotten used to it, but she liked this peace very much. It felt as if the war and suffering she had experienced years ago were like a dream.
"Time move so fast, I still remember the time when we first meet and you ask me a weird bet," Jun Hua chuckled.
Their first conversation was not between her real self, rather her second identity that she made. Still, that was quite a memorable memory since she never encountered anyone who would propose a bet the first time they met.
"At that time you were still a kid and now you have grown up," Nanglong Soujin pulled Jun Hua to his embrace and snuggle from her back.
Jun Hua felt uncomfortable and shift her body a little bit, "Say someone who's already an adult back then but acted like a child."
"I didn't act like a kid," Nanglong Soujin retorted.
Jun Hua chuckled and stayed within the man embrace for a few more seconds before he released her. They continued to walk in the garden until the sun has set.
"Let's return back," He took her arm and walked with her towards the house again.
In the garden, Xiao Yun was busy cleaning up the courtyard when she saw the visage of these two people walking hand to hand. Ever since her marriage with Soujin, Jun Hua had never worn blue dresses anymore, she changed them into a red dress.
At first, she was confused why she would suddenly change her taste, and it was only later did she knew that previously, she always wore a red dress before coming to Jun Family residence. Red means happiness and the reason she didn't wear it anymore was because she can't say that she genuinely happy to change her identity continuously.
Now, seeing the back of the two people walking hand to hand with the sunset as the background, she felt that it was really a beautiful view and unable to tear her eyes away. When the couple looked towards each other, Xiao Yun quickly moved her eyes away.
Soujin placed his hand on the back of Jun Hua head and lightly pushed her head to kiss the other party. Jun Hua moved a little bit after a light kiss.
"We are still outside. Can't you wait until we get inside?"
"If it's about you, I don't want to wait," Nanglong Soujin smirked.
Jun Hua shook her head yet her lips curved up in a smile, "We still have a lifetime for us together. Come on, let's get in."
A lifetime
Nanglong Soujin really liked this phrase. She's correct, they still have a lifetime for them to stay together and he would never leave her side anymore. They are going to stay together for the rest of their life.

This is the end *sniff* I will miss you all (>_<>
I have tried to tie every loose ends in this last volume to conclude several matters that I left hanging in the earlier volume. Some of them are still in loose ends, because in my own opinion, some matters should be left for your own imagination. (plus to give the characters a bit more privacy *chuckle*)
