Chapter 617: 615 Where have you placed your husband? (First Update)

Zha Xi respectfully picked up the saw and knife and handed them to Li Xianyun.

Li Xianyun sat on a low stool, carving the excess wood like a sculptor. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Her skills were refined, using her eyes as a ruler, she easily fixed the joint, "We can try reassembling it now."

Just...simply fixed it like that?

Without even using a square, it was fixed just like that?

It seemed too simple; they had spent countless efforts and attempts, and only as a last resort did they ask for Li Xianyun’s help.

Zha Xi looked toward Yelu Yan.

Yelu Yan lifted his chin slightly.

Zha Xi immediately ordered the workers to join the two parts of the drawbridge.

As Li Xianyun watched the craftsmen work, she felt two intense gazes on her. Looking up, she saw Yelu Yan staring straight at her with a meaningful look.

He wanted to stand beside her, but due to Khan’s status, it was inappropriate to make a move in public, so he had Li Xianyun called over.

Li Xianyun pretended not to see and continued to observe the craftsmen working.

Yelu Yan sighed lightly in his heart, noting that it had only been a day and a night, but the girl had already grown tough and seemingly untamable.

The craftsmen quickly assembled the drawbridge properly, and the joint no longer made any creaking sounds; it operated smoothly.

The crowd couldn’t help but emit a restrained exclamation.

If not for Khan’s presence, they would have certainly burst into applause and cheers.

Zha Xi looked at Li Xianyun delightfully and said with a smile, "Thank you, Young Master Li."

"You are too kind, Lord Zha Xi," Li Xianyun replied as she took the blueprint he was holding and unfolded it.

Li Xianyun highlighted the dimensions of the joint and gave specific instructions for the repairs.

Zha Xi, although clueless about the machinery, listened intently and took meticulous notes.

The other craftsmen also listened very carefully.

After Li Xianyun observed the craftsmen fix two drawbridges and saw they could handle it on their own, she finally relaxed.

Zha Xi and a few Chiefs brought up issues accumulated over the past two days to Li Xianyun.

Li Xianyun answered each question thoroughly, sharing knowledge freely, her thought process clear and her language concise, which made it easy for anyone to understand.

Yelu Yan watched Li Xianyun among the crowd, confident and effortlessly competent. Although instructing others, her demeanor was humble and composed, earning the craftsmen’s deep respect and affection.

His woman shone like the stars in the sky, bright and dazzling, making one follow her every move and reluctant to look away.

Yet, she was surrounded by a group of men, conversing with them, not sparing him even a fraction of her gaze as if she had forgotten his presence, which deeply irked him.

Once the craftsmen had no more questions,

Yelu Yan said to Li Xianyun, "It’s getting late, I shall escort you back."

People unclear of the situation turned their gaze once again to Young Master Li.

It was said that Young Master Li was an expert invited by Khan —indeed true, otherwise, why would the lofty Khan personally escort him?

Li Xianyun bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Khan."

Such a distant attitude.

Yelu Yan turned and walked ahead expressionless, with Li Xianyun following behind.

The group walked out of the workshop.

Upon exiting, Yelu Yan helped Li Xianyun into the carriage they had come in, then also climbed in and bent down into the carriage.

The soldiers guarding the workshop wondered in amazement, as Khan had ridden a horse on his previous visits to the workshop, yet now he switched to a carriage?

Inside the carriage.

Yelu Yan had hardly sat down when he rudely pulled Li Xianyun into his embrace.

Before they had exchanged a single word, Yelu Yan held her cheeks steady, bowed his head, and bit down.

Li Xianyun lightly closed her eyelids and involuntarily let out a soft "mm."

This kiss was fiery and rough, thick with a sense of punishment.

Li Xianyun had no doubt about it; she just thought it was because she hadn’t stood close to him earlier as he had wanted, which had angered him, and she couldn’t help but internally scorn him: such a petty man.

After that, she could no longer think of anything else, her emotions and mood oscillating with Yelu Yan’s kisses.

Having not seen each other for just a day and a night had him this frantic.

Yelu Yan pinched Li Xianyun’s chin, forcing her to part her lips slightly, revealing a glimpse of her crimson tongue.

Yelu Yan, without any courtesy, captured it, exploring inside.

Their tongues entwined passionately.

Li Xianyun, eyes closed, her long, thick eyelashes met at one point, fluttering helplessly as he nibbled.

The lingering kiss paused amidst their short breaths.

Li Xianyun’s lips were slightly flushed and moist, with a faint trace of wetness at the edge of her mouth, her clear, watery eyes shyly gazing at the imposing man before her.

Seeing his still sulky expression, Li Xianyun felt both annoyed and amused.

"Husband, you look like I’ve offended you somehow."

"Isn’t that so?" Yelu Yan wiped the moisture from her lips with his thumb, gently rubbing back and forth across her tender, reddened lips.

Such a desirous gesture.

Li Xianyun thought carefully, but couldn’t recall doing anything to offend him. She opened her red lips and said, "But I didn’t do anything."

"Didn’t you? You touched another man just now, you grabbed that craftsman’s arm, and moreover, he was bare-armed."

Her little hand should only touch him, how could she touch another man?

"Husband, have you forgotten that I’m a physician? By your logic, I’ve touched more than just one man," Li Xianyun laughed, "Moreover, it was an emergency situation, I had no choice."

Yelu Yan replied sourly, "Yes, in an emergency, you think of another man, not your own husband."

Ah, men getting moody really left her at a loss for words.

Li Xianyun chuckled, "That saw was far from you, and besides, with your martial arts skills, you wouldn’t have let it touch you."

"So because my martial arts are strong, you can ignore me and not care about me?"

"I do care about you. If that saw had come at you, I would have reached out to pull you away too," Li Xianyun said with a slight exasperation in her smile.

Yelu Yan immediately caught the expression on Li Xianyun’s face. "See, you still find me annoying."

Li Xianyun laughed aloud, suddenly feeling like their roles should have been reversed.

Aren’t women usually the ones to fuss over things?

How had Yelu Yan, a burly man, become so melodramatic?

Yelu Yan continued to express his grievances, "We haven’t seen each other for a day and a night. I heard you were coming to the armory and hurried over, and you, on the other hand, not only held another man’s arm but also chatted and laughed with another man, not giving me a single glance. Where do you place your husband?"

How could he make it sound so excessive? Was she really that unreasonable?

Li Xianyun stretched her arms around Yelu Yan’s neck, giggling, "Where did I not give you glances? Didn’t I look at you several times? Besides, I wasn’t joking with another man; I was answering their questions."

Yelu Yan "hmmphed," "All said and done, do you still not have your husband in your heart?"

The accusations were getting more severe.

Oh well, might as well appease him for now.

Li Xianyun swayed her arms, hanging on him coquettishly, "Husband, of course, I have you in my heart, you fill my entire mind and vision."

Such cheesy words, yet they tumbled out so effortlessly.
