After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Lin Nian wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

It was such a private matter, yet the man brought it up so casually; it was almost enough to embarrass him to death.

Yin Cheng chuckled softly twice.

He buried his face in the man's shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "No, don't laugh."

"Okay, stop laughing." Yin Cheng kissed the rosy-cheeked little beauty in his arms. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Niannian. I love you no matter what."

The beautiful girl looked up, tears streaming down her face, and asked, "Really?"

"Want to give me a kiss and feel it?"

The pretty girl covered her mouth, "I'm not kissing you anymore, it's all swollen." She glared at the man reproachfully, "It's all your fault."

Suddenly, a very faint sound of a tile shifting caught Yin Cheng's attention.

"..." He looked up and stared at the roof tiles.

Lin Nian looked up at the roof, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

Yin Cheng was speechless. He was on a date with his wife when his brother-in-law showed up to join in the fun.

"Nian Nian".

"Um?"

Yin Cheng said, "Your eldest brother is here."

Lin Nian was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Ah!"

He quickly got up from Yin Cheng, covered his blushing cheeks, and sat down opposite Yin Cheng.

With his arms suddenly empty, Yin Cheng sighed. "Brother-in-law, want to come down and have something to eat?"

Lin's eldest brother: "..."

Lin Nian asked softly, "When did you arrive, Big Brother?"

"I don't know," Yin Cheng said. "His breathing technique is quite powerful; I can't detect him."

The eldest brother of the Lin family was very proud of himself, thinking that this breathing technique was a unique martial arts skill, and even the most skilled imperial guards would find it extremely difficult to detect.

Lin Nian recalled the lewd words she had uttered while the private room was empty...

He covered his face.

I'm too ashamed to live anymore, I might as well die.

Yin Cheng pulled up a round wooden stool and sat down next to him, acting as if nothing had happened. "Honey, is there anything you can't eat?"

Lin Nian said shyly, "No ginger..."

"Okay." Yin Cheng looked up. "What about my brother-in-law?"

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, the eldest brother of the Lin family stopped hiding and simply showed himself, saying, "No garlic."

Yin Cheng scoffed, "Who cares about you?"

Lin's eldest brother: "..."

Then why did you ask?

Yin Cheng handed over the menu booklet and gave a few instructions.

Just as I sat back down next to Lin Nian, I heard Lin's eldest brother ask, "I heard that you were the one who saved my Nian-ge'er at Baoning Temple."

"Brother-in-law's information network is pretty good," Yin Cheng praised.

The eldest brother of the Lin family asked, "After Nian-ge'er went missing, my father did not publicize it. How did Your Highness, Prince Cheng, learn of Nian-ge'er's disappearance?"

Yin Cheng truthfully replied, "One of my servants, who was on leave that day, also went to Baoning Temple to offer incense."

"What a coincidence." The eldest brother of the Lin family smiled inscrutably. "I remember that back when His Highness Prince Cheng and my Nian-ge'er were not yet engaged, even the servants in the manor recognized my Nian-ge'er."

Before Yin Cheng could express his opinion, Lin Nianxian couldn't sit still any longer.

He puffed out his cheeks and glared at his older brother. "Big brother, what are you doing?!"

Yin Cheng gently squeezed Lin Nian's hand under the table. "It's not surprising that the servants of Prince Cheng's mansion recognize Prince Cheng."

"Ah Cheng is different from Yin Shun!" Lin Nian defended the man.

"Big brother, how could you follow us? You're so mean!"

"You, you're still... being so aggressive..."

As he spoke, he tried to widen his already watery eyes, making him look both pitiful and aggrieved.

Lin's eldest brother immediately felt sorry for him, "Hey Nian-ge, don't cry, I was wrong, I'll shut up, I won't say it anymore."

Yin Cheng chimed in with sarcastic remarks, "Exactly, how could they follow us like that? Shameless!"

Lin's eldest brother: "..."

Lin's eldest brother: "Come out here, let's fight."

"Niannian," Yin Cheng said, hiding behind Lin Nian, "my brother-in-law wants to hit me."

The eldest brother of the Lin family was so angry that he felt dizzy when he saw his younger brother acting like he was protecting his own child.

Is this shameless man truly the so-called fierce god of war of the North?

"Ah Cheng!" Lin Nian said, "You're not allowed to cause trouble either."

"Oh. Niannian, give me your handkerchief."

"Why do you need a handkerchief?"

Yin Cheng wiped his hands with Lin Nian's handkerchief, took a lychee from the fruit plate, peeled it, and fed it to him. "Ah—"

Lin Nian belatedly opened her pink lips and ate the snow-white fruit in one bite.

It's lychee season now, and these were just picked from the tree this morning; they're very fresh.

Seeing how naturally Yin Cheng caught the fruit pit that Lin Nian spat out, the eldest brother of the Lin family didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside. Lin Nian's eyes lit up. "Is the dragon boat back?"

"It should be."

Lin Nian eagerly climbed back onto the windowsill. He looked carefully for a while, then suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, the first place is Hua Manlou!"

Yin Cheng leaned against him, gently supporting his waist, "Be careful."

Lin Nian turned her head and asked, "If Hua Manlou is the first place winner, how much money will that young man receive?"

"One hundred and fifty taels."

Lin Nian asked, "Can he go and collect it?"

"Niannian, don't you think it's a bit late to ask this question now?" Yin Cheng said. "The bets are anonymous, so of course he can collect them."

"That's good." Lin Nian thought that if that young man had this much silver, he would probably be able to live a better life in the future.

He couldn't save everyone; he just saw them but couldn't bring himself to ignore them.

Yin Cheng knew, of course, that Lin Nian was actually a very kind person.

Just then, the waiter brought in the dishes.

Yin Cheng pulled Lin Nian to sit down.

Lin Nian was very reserved when eating. She would always take small bites and chew slowly and politely.

Although she pretends, she is actually a well-bred lady raised in a prestigious family.

Yin Cheng tirelessly picked fish bones from the little beauty's bones.

I spent the whole meal serving the little beauty.

The eldest brother of the Lin family was also slightly moved. When he saw that there was neither ginger nor garlic in the food, he reluctantly accepted his brother-in-law.

After dinner, Lin Nian secretly told Yin Cheng that she wanted to go boating.

Yin Cheng rented a small boat and sent his bodyguard to buy a bag of spiced sunflower seeds.

The eldest brother of the Lin family made an excuse and left first.

His younger brother felt very uncomfortable with him there.

If we had stayed any longer, my younger brother probably would have been driven crazy.

Peach Blossom Town also brews peach blossom wine, and the eldest brother of the Lin family went to drink it by himself.

Lin Nian sat on a small boat, basking in the sun and eating sunflower seeds.

He secretly told Yin Cheng, "Ah Cheng, do you know? In the past, in order to maintain Young Master Lin's dignity, I never ate in the street."

He peeled a lot of sunflower seeds and poured them into Yin Cheng's hand.

"Xiao Fu is a glutton. Every time he goes out, he buys a lot of food, especially hot braised and fried foods. They smell so good."

"I really want to eat it, but I can't because of my status. It's so frustrating."

Yin Cheng experienced the joy of popping a handful of sunflower seeds into his mouth and eating them together. "When we go back, we'll buy some to take back with us. You can eat them secretly, but don't give any to Xiao Fu and Hua Yue."

Lin Nian couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Mm!"
