Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Jie Chen, Are You Jealous?

Chapter 71 -71 Jie Chen, Are You Jealous?

Jie Chen followed Xiang Ying to the cabin where she stayed.

Upon opening the door, there was a crowd of people inside.

Qi Fengyi was teaching Xiang Xiuxiu martial arts, and Lin Lingxiang was assisting Xiang Li with his daily walking practice.

Yu Pin and Seventh Princess were sitting aside, organizing pots and pans.

There was also Fang Qian, who was crawling around with Xiang Yuanshuo on his back.

The moment Jie Chen appeared at the door, a deathly silence fell over everyone in the room.

Jie Chen frowned, fixing his gaze on Fang Qian: “What are you doing here?”

Xiang Yuanshuo swayed his little feet, clamping Fang Qian’s belly like riding a big horse.

He lifted his little head: “We are playing the game of riding a donkey, and Uncle Fang specially came to join us, is that not allowed?”

Fang Qian corrected: “You got it wrong again, this is called riding a big horse!”

He pulled the little guy down with his hand and stood up to dust off his robe, saying: “It’s someone else’s turn at the helm, now it’s my break time.”

That said, Fang Qian even made faces at Xiang Ying who was standing behind Jie Chen.

Jie Chen’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

Xiang Ying pretended not to see, and called over Yu Pin and Seventh Princess: “You two go with Tao Xue, clean these few fish thoroughly and take another cleaned one to Mr. Lin.”

Lin Lingxiang quickly thanked them, and the group left in order.

Fang Qian took a step forward, smiling: “Should I also help the elder princess? I’ll make the fire later.”

“That would be great.” Xiang Ying naturally appreciated the help.

She rolled up her sleeves, ready to move out all the pots and dishes.

At that moment, Jie Chen touched her sleeve, his voice deep: “Apply the ointment first.”

Xiang Ying almost forgot.

“You give the ointment to Qi Fengyi, and tell the two military supervisors thank you on my behalf.”

Jie Chen was startled, never expecting to become redundant.

Was his help not needed anymore?

Xiang Xiuxiu, holding a bunny pillow sewn by Xiang Ying, stood in front of Jie Chen looking up at him.

The little girl’s eyes twinkling: “Bad uncle, did you come especially to deliver the medicine?”

Fang Qian leaned over: “Xiuxiu calls him bad uncle, what do you call me?”

Xiang Xiuxiu’s voice was tender: “I call you good uncle.”

Fang Qian laughed heartily: “Come, come, come, Xiuxiu, good uncle will take you for a big horse ride.”

Jie Chen frowned as he watched the children playing with Fang Qian, he directly grabbed Xiang Ying’s wrist.

“I forgot to take the medicine, come with me to fetch it.”

“You could have sent someone with it, oh!” Xiang Ying was dragged out of the cabin without explanation.

Fang Qian watched Jie Chen’s retreating figure silently.

Xiang Ying was led by Jie Chen to his cabin.

“Where is the medicine?” she asked, reaching out her hand.

Jie Chen closed the door behind him, his tall figure standing before her, his dark brows slightly furrowed.

“How come I am still the bad uncle to the kids?”

Xiang Ying was startled, humor shimmering in her phoenix eyes, and she laughed out loud.

Jie Chen still cares about this?

“You can’t blame me for that, who made the little ones still remember you taking away our horses.”

“Can’t you say a few good words for me? After all, I am their…” He swallowed the words ‘their father’, his lips tightly pressed.

Xiang Ying looked at him with glowing eyes, the light from the window behind casting a soft browns through her slightly disheveled black hair.

“Jie Chen, you’re not jealous, are you?”

“I am not,” he immediately denied without even thinking.

As if he would be jealous of her and Fang Qian. What’s Fang Qian compared to him? Besides, Xiang Ying wasn’t that important to him.

Next second, Xiang Ying crossed her arms, her red lips muttering with certainty.

“You saw the kids being affectionate to Fang Qian and ignoring you, and you got jealous, certainly that’s it.”

Jie Chen’s expression darkened.

Oh, so her mentioning jealousy meant this.

Jie Chen’s eyes gradually cooled: “You think too much, I just find Fang Qian unreliable and worry that the children might get hurt.”

Xiang Ying thought of the three little kids’ capabilities.

They could get hurt? It’d be good enough if they don’t end up playing Fang Qian to death.

“The kids are smarter than you think.” Xiang Ying said, reaching out her hand, “Where’s the medicine? Give it to me quickly, I still need to go back and make fish soup.”

She was getting hungry.

Jie Chen walked to the wardrobe, pretending to search for a while, then sneakily took it out from his sleeve.

He did intend to deliver the medicine earlier, but with so many people around, it wasn’t very convenient.

“Lie down, I’ll help you.” This time, he simply said it outright.

Xiang Ying raised her eyebrows: “Qi Fengyi can help me.”

Previously on the second ship, she asked for his help because there was no one else around.

Now that everyone was back, Xiang Ying didn’t need to trouble him anymore.

Who could have expected, Jie Chen’s dark eyes looking at her: “With Fang Qian insistently staying in your room and not leaving, it’s inconvenient, so I’ll do it.”

He then boldly pressed down on her shoulder, making Xiang Ying sit down.

She looked up at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

It seemed she was trying to figure out the sudden enthusiasm in Jie Chen’s intention.

However, after watching for a long time, Xiang Ying only saw seriousness in Jie Chen’s eyes.

After the ship-repairing incident, he seemed to have changed his view of her significantly, and his attitude had also improved.

Xiang Ying stretched out her hand, her pale fingertips pulling open her clothes.

Jie Chen immediately turned his back.

Only when he heard the noise of Xiang Ying lying down did he turn back.

Just like before, his slender fingertips picked up a blob of ointment, applying it to the bruise on her lower back.

Xiang Ying yawned, seemingly enjoying it quite a bit.

Jie Chen lowered his head to see the stark purple bruise on her snow-white skin.

He had asked the Military Doctor for Xiang Ying, who confirmed it was a bruise from an impact, which would heal faster if massaged.

Thinking it over, Jie Chen decided not to ask Xiang Ying further and instead of just applying the ointment with his fingertips, he covered the slim waist entirely with his large palm.

It was then he realized just how delicately slender Xiang Ying was.

Her waist was almost completely covered by his palm.

“Hisss!” Xiang Ying felt his hot palm on the injury, causing her to wince slightly in pain.

She propped herself up and looked back: “Be gentler!”

Standing at the door and about to knock, scar face suddenly froze.

That voice just now… it sounded like Xiang Ying’s?

Following that, Jie Chen’s indifferent voice came through: “Bear with it, this is for your own good.”

Xiang Ying painfully groaned twice: “No, no, it’s too painful, let’s stop for today.”

Scar face’s eyes widened, and his dark face turned as red as burning charcoal!

Oh no, oh no, he seems to have heard something terrible!

Jie Chen and the elder princess really dare to act like this during broad daylight.

He hurriedly ran away.

Inside the room, Xiang Ying was tying her clothes, Phoenix Eyes with a hint of complaint.

“You heard the Military Doctor say massaging the bruise would help? He really is an incompetent doctor, worse than me.”

Jie Chen’s thin eyes dark and deep as he looked at her, his tone ordinary: “But you applying medicine daily is necessary. Come again at this time tomorrow.”

He refused to go to her place again, too chaotic.

Xiang Ying responded noncommittally with a hmm.

Jie Chen’s ointment wasn’t even as good as the medicine spray in her space.

Xiang Qianqian, wanting to return full-handed like Xiang Ying, had always stood at the bow.

Trying to catch as much as she could.

A whole day down, and she did have some gains.

However, Supervisor Ke looked at the bucket she handed over.

“It’s strange, you’ve been fishing all day, and these river delicacies aren’t even as much as what Xiang Ying could catch in one throw of the net.”

Xiang Qianqian’s smile stiffened a bit, smoothing over for herself: “I caught less, but I was willing to help Supervisor Ke, unlike my big sister, who only cares for herself, even though she catches more, it’s no use.”

Supervisor Ke nodded slightly, giving Xiang Qianqian some ground meat.

She happily accepted, smiling as she walked away.

For three consecutive days, Xiang Qianqian went to the bow to catch river delicates, trading them with Supervisor Ke for meat.

But, while Xiang Ying fishes for one day and eats for three, she fishes for three days to eat for one.

The river delicacies were becoming few, and Xiang Qianqian herself got anxious.

Until this evening, she still stood at the bow.

Because she had cast the net all day, only catching some small fish and clams.

Supervisor Ke said if she kept giving less and less, he definitely wouldn’t give her meat anymore.

Xiang Qianqian felt worried.

These days her face had gotten tanned by the sun, really giving her all just for food.

No matter what, today she must catch a big fish!

Suddenly!

She saw the buoy dip sharply, as if something had crashed into the net.

Xiang Qianqian was ecstatic and hurriedly pulled, only to find the fishing net was extremely heavy.

Definitely a large fish! It must be the weight of several!

She excitedly called, asking the passing soldiers to help.

Just as Xiang Ying had lit an oil lamp, planning to give Xiang Li acupuncture for his injuries.

She then heard screaming and crying from outside.

All three of the little ones were startled.

Xiang Ying frowned: “What’s happening outside now?”

Tao Xue went out to investigate and came back soon, her face also very pale.

“Something happened! The Fifth Princess caught something incredible.”
