"Mom, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself. Call me if anything comes up."
Xia Wanfu changed her shoes and walked out the door. Seeing her mother send her off, her heart was deeply touched.
Han Wenjuan's eyes were full of reluctance, but she still said, "Don't worry about me, hurry up and go!"
Xia Wanfu nodded, then left.
Han Wenjuan's eyes turned red for a moment. She secretly wiped away tears, but still closed the door, left alone to guard the empty, desolate home.
Downstairs.
Jiang Zexi leaned against the car, waiting for Xia Wanfu to come down.
This was a medium-sized residential complex, with a decent environment, just a bit remote.
But in this expensive Kyoto, the rent was still considerable for one month.
"Brother Zexi!"
As soon as Xia Wanfu saw him, she quickened her pace towards him, unable to contain her smile.
"Why did you come to pick me up? I told you I could go back by myself."
Jiang Zexi gazed at her deeply, a smile curving his lips, clearly in good spirits.
"I wanted to see you sooner, so I came."
Xia Wanfu's cheeks flushed, but her heart felt as sweet as honey.
This shy demeanor made Jiang Zexi unable to look away, and his throat suddenly felt dry. He suppressed his desires and said, "Let's go, get in the car."
After getting in the car, Jiang Zexi didn't rush to drive away. Instead, he turned his head towards Xia Wanfu.
"Wife, give me a kiss."
Xia Wanfu glanced out the window and shyly said, "There are people outside, no."
"It's okay, they can't see?"
"Oh, stop it." Xia Wanfu shyly turned her head away from him and whispered, "Let's talk about it when we get back, okay?"
"No." Jiang Zexi gazed at her deeply and said in a hoarse voice, "Wife, I miss you."
Xia Wanfu was speechless. "We've only been apart for a few hours!"
"A moment apart feels like three autumns!"
Xia Wanfu covered her face and said in a voice so low it could barely be heard.
"Hurry up and drive, let's go home!!"
Many elderly people were strolling downstairs in the complex and were all looking this way. Xia Wanfu was already feeling her scalp tingle.
Jiang Zexi teased, "Beg me!"
Xia Wanfu bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "I'm begging you."
"Say 'Brother Zexi, I'm begging you!'"
Xia Wanfu lost her patience and glared at him fiercely, saying angrily, "Don't push your luck! Drive!"
Jiang Zexi immediately adjusted his posture and stepped on the accelerator, starting the car.
Seeing this, Xia Wanfu finally breathed a sigh of relief. This guy, he really didn't know what was good for him!
After leaving the complex, the car drove on. Jiang Zexi reached out his hand to the passenger seat and said cautiously, "Wife, hold hands!"
Xia Wanfu didn't want to bother with him and said indifferently, "Drive properly."
"Oh." Jiang Zexi's tone was a little wronged.
Xia Wanfu couldn't help but soften, and still placed her hand in his palm. She had almost forgotten what Jiang Zexi was like when they first met.
In any case, he was a completely different person now. He used to be gentle, refined, noble, and aloof.
Now, it was hard to describe.
Ever since her car accident, he had been clingy to an extreme, calling constantly if they were apart for more than half an hour.
He would pout at the drop of a hat, act wronged at the slightest provocation, and was quite talkative.
Or he would demand kisses and hugs, and not care about the occasion, not shy at all!
While she was lost in thought, her palm suddenly felt a tickling sensation. She looked down to see Jiang Zexi gently scratching her palm with his fingertips.
Back and forth, as if deliberately teasing.
Xia Wanfu looked at Jiang Zexi helplessly. He was controlling the steering wheel with one hand.
His profile was sharp and defined. A ray of sunlight fell, landing on his face, making his skin appear fair and his facial contours sharp and handsome.
His thin lips curved into a perfect arc, as if even the sunlight was tinged with warmth and jade-like smoothness.
Xia Wanfu's brows relaxed, and she stared at him, her heartbeat noticeably quickening.
She remembered the first time she met him. At that moment, she couldn't help but feel her heart race, and she realized it was love at first sight.
Loving someone is falling in love with them repeatedly!
Jiang Zexi was driving properly, but when he noticed the gaze from the passenger seat on him, he couldn't concentrate on driving.
He kept turning his head to look at her. Seeing her tender and watery eyes, his heart surged with emotion, and he felt invigorated.
Xia Wanfu clasped his hand. Even in this wordless moment, she felt very happy.
While waiting at a red light, Jiang Zexi turned to look at her and said shamelessly, "Wife, I really miss you. Let's go home quickly."
"Mhm, home." Xia Wanfu returned his smile, very gently.
"Wife, I've found that after being with you, I become particularly lustful..."
Xia Wanfu blushed and said uncomfortably, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Zexi chuckled, his voice incredibly gentle.
"Wife, I love you."
Xia Wanfu ignored him.
"Wife, I miss you."
...
After all the playful banter, they finally returned home.
The car stopped in the garage. Jiang Zexi impatiently pulled Xia Wanfu's hand and kissed it gently.
Xia Wanfu was so embarrassed that she struggled, wanting to get out of the car.
"Wife, this is a private garage, no one will be here..."
Xia Wanfu refused, but when she tried to open the car door, she realized it was locked.
...
The weather had started to warm up. Sunlight poured down on the earth, and the temperature climbed steadily.
The asphalt road, bathed in sunlight, stretched out into the distance.
Jiang Zexi, looking utterly satisfied, carried Xia Wanfu out of the car.
Xia Wanfu's cheeks were flushed, and she had a look of grievance. She pouted in anger, clearly unhappy.
Jiang Zexi coaxed her softly, "Good girl, don't be angry anymore. It's all my fault."
"Hmph."
Xia Wanfu gave his chest a few heavy thumps, then felt a bit better.
"You really went too far. I don't want to talk to you anymore."
"Don't ignore me. I'll cook for you, okay?"
Xia Wanfu was sulking, but when she looked down, she was clearly smiling secretly.
Jiang Zexi whispered in her ear, calling her "Wife, darling, kissy baby, sweetie, dear wife~"
"Shut up!" Xia Wanfu got goosebumps from his calls and couldn't help but snap.
But her voice was soft and weak at this moment, sounding more like a playful complaint.
Jiang Zexi's eyes deepened. He gently nuzzled her cheek and said in a low voice,
"Dear wife~ I miss you again."
"Scram!" Xia Wanfu glared at him, grinding her teeth!
Jiang Zexi appeased her, "I was just kidding..."
Back home, Xia Wanfu collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.
Seeing the resentment in her eyes, Jiang Zexi didn't dare to provoke her further. He smiled brightly and said, "Wife, you rest. I'll go cook. What do you want to eat?"
Xia Wanfu casually said, "I want something spicy."
"Alright, wife, you wait. If you're hungry, have some snacks first."
Jiang Zexi said as he tied on an apron and went straight to the kitchen to busy himself.
Looking at him, like a devoted husband, Xia Wanfu smiled with satisfaction.
With a husband like this, she had no regrets in this life.
