Chapter 405 Husband, Husband, Husband
Cheng Sheng's parents were in a similar situation.

With Cheng Sheng's current net worth and the many properties he has purchased in Kyoto, he has long wanted his parents to come and live with him in Kyoto.

However, Cheng Sheng's parents did not want to leave their hometown at all, because their main emotions, social relationships, sense of security, practical foundation, and values ​​were all in their hometown.

Our hometown carries the memories of generations of ancestors. Every scene and every breath we encounter from birth is etched into the essence of our lives.

The ancient trees at the village entrance, the stone-paved roads in the alleys, and the air filled with a mixture of soil and cooking smoke—these vibrant elements constitute the symbol of "roots."

Leaving means tearing apart and stripping oneself away. This emotional impact cannot be simply summarized as "unwillingness," but rather as a deep attachment to the origin of life.

The hometown is the core of a close-knit community, where neighbors, childhood friends, relatives and friends form the most trusted social circle.

They know your past, share your joys and sorrows, and lend a helping hand in times of difficulty.

This kind of warmth is hard to replicate in an unfamiliar city, and rebuilding social relationships requires facing loneliness and isolation, which makes many people hesitate.

The elderly prefer to farm and raise chickens in their hometown rather than live in the concrete jungle, because in their view, there is nothing familiar to them here.

Many people also own land, ancestral homes, or stable jobs in their hometowns, which are the foundation for their livelihood.

Giving up existing resources means incurring the cost of "sacrifice," and starting over requires facing both economic and psychological pressures.

In addition, issues related to elderly care and children's education often become obstacles to relocation.

This is probably the main reason why Cheng Sheng's parents and Zeng Li's father were unwilling to go to big cities.

Of course, there is also the traditional view that "settling down and taking root" is the right path in life, while frequent migration may be considered "improper".

At the same time, one's hometown can maintain family reunions, parents can take care of their children at any time, and people can enjoy family time during festivals.

For many, this sense of wholeness is a spiritual need that is more important than material interests.

This night.

Because Zeng Li was heartbroken, Cheng Sheng drove to a hotel in the county town and stayed there for the night.

After daybreak, to avoid being discovered, Cheng Sheng checked out of the hotel early and drove back to Shanghai.

Cheng Sheng did not return to Kyoto because Zeng Li still had work in Shanghai.

It takes about ten hours to drive from Jingzhou to Shanghai.

Including the rest time on the way, Cheng Sheng and his companion returned to Shanghai on the second day.

Cheng Sheng spent two days with Zeng Li in Shanghai.

The two of them haven't left the hotel for the past two days, and they've been eating and drinking there.

In the hotel suite, the floor was now littered with torn stockings and tissues.

……

It was a little after seven in the morning, and the bathroom was filled with smoke.

Zeng Li lay quietly and obediently in Cheng Sheng's arms, her face rosy and her skin smooth and firm, exuding a captivating charm.

"Comfortable?"

Cheng Sheng pecked Zeng Li's forehead, his eyes full of teasing. These past two days have been more than just comfortable; they've practically sent her to heaven.

Because of her busy work schedule, she hadn't had a relationship with Cheng Sheng for a long time.

Given that Zeng Li is at an age where she's full of youthful vigor, it would be a lie to say she doesn't want to.

So, having tasted the sweetness, she has been entwined with him passionately these past two days.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Li shyly buried her head in Cheng Sheng's armpit. How could she possibly answer such an embarrassing question?
"Hahaha!"

In the bathtub, watching the little head bobbing around like a groundhog, Cheng Sheng laughed happily.

This woman possesses a shyness and charm beyond her years.

Zeng Li has always been perceived as a mature and beautiful older sister figure, an impression mainly stemming from her naturally exuded mature charm and outstanding temperament.

But to my surprise, her mentality was like that of a girl in her twenties.

There are many young and beautiful girls in the entertainment industry, but it's rare to see someone like Zeng Li who gets more and more beautiful. Zeng Li's unique temperament is undoubtedly the key to her charm.

Her faint smile seemed to conceal a hidden tenderness; her eyes and brows revealed a refined and composed demeanor.

Those eyes seemed to hold a profound insight into life, making one want to explore their mysteries.

Those eyes were like a deep pool, calm yet unfathomable.

This elegant and reserved temperament is undoubtedly Zeng Li's greatest charm.

Cheng Sheng really liked this kind of woman and wanted to spoil her forever.

Cheng Sheng cupped Zeng Li's head in his hands, forcing her to look him in the eye, and said forcefully, "From now on, whether it's filming a movie or other work, you must spend at least one week a month with me. This is not a discussion, it's an order."

"You...you're too domineering." Zeng Li blushed, but was deeply moved.

She's almost thirty-eight years old, and the fact that Cheng Sheng dotes on her so much makes her realize that her feelings for him were not in vain.

He thought to himself with delight: I must give him a surprise after I get back from recording this show.

“There’s no room for negotiation,” Cheng Sheng said.

"Okay, you bad guy."

Zeng Li felt a surge of joy and nodded in agreement.

Cheng Sheng lowered his head and kissed her cherry-like lips.

Zeng Li's eyes gradually became hazy, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck, even responding to his advances.

Passion burns.

Wow…

Ripples spread across the surface of the bathtub, large splashes of water flew out and landed heavily on the floor, then turned into mist that swirled around the bathroom.

The endless joy captivated Zeng Li, immersing her deeply in it, making her unwilling to wake up from this dream.

Around 10 a.m., the bathtub was refilled with water and foam.

Zeng Li lay in Cheng Sheng's broad embrace, gently stroking Cheng Sheng's skin with a brush.

"When are you going back to Kyoto?" Zeng Li asked gently.

"tomorrow."

"I still have to record a show in Shanghai, so I won't go back with you."

"Okay, remember to come back after you finish recording the show, and don't take on any more events."

"I understand, husband."

"Husband? My dear wife, is this the first time you've called me husband?"

"Don't you like it?"

"I like it, of course I do."

"Husband, husband, husband..."

"Hahaha……"

the next day.

Cheng Sheng said goodbye to Zeng Li.

Fearing being photographed by reporters, Zeng Li did not take Cheng Sheng to the airport. Instead, she watched Cheng Sheng hail a car and leave at the hotel entrance before turning back to the hotel.

What Zeng Li didn't know was that Cheng Sheng didn't go to the airport, but instead had his driver take him to the entrance of a residential area in Shanghai.

After getting out of the car, Cheng Sheng took out his phone and made a call. Not long after, a woman dressed in full clothing walked out of the residential area.

Upon seeing Cheng Sheng, the woman's eyes lit up with surprise. She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then pulled Cheng Sheng into the residential area.
