You're my wife, don't doubt it!

However, he was not entirely sure he would receive a positive response from the audience if he were to give a speech now on the topic of "Yu Luying's feelings".

As you all know, this is actually a very euphemistic expression.

“I don’t care about this kind of thing,” Shen Jie said softly. “What’s important isn’t the place, it’s the people.”

“Yes,” Xiao Yao said, “I know.”

"Besides, even if we go to a five-star hotel, I still have to pay for it, right?" Shen Jie couldn't help but mutter again.

Xiao Yao patted Shen Jie's bouncy belly, making a crisp sound.

He thought it was funny, so he took another picture.

"What's wrong? It's a 13 o'clock time!" Shen Jie complained.

"Remember this: I want you every moment, every second, I want to possess you completely," Xiao Yao whispered in Shen Jie's ear.

"Uh...it's tickling, let's talk from a distance." Shen Jie rolled over and buried her face in Xiao Yao's arms.

"I just don't want to take advantage of someone in distress," Xiao Yao said.

"How is that taking advantage of someone in distress? I'm perfectly fine." Shen Jie muttered, "I just thought it through... Besides, weren't you quite enthusiastic at the hotel the other day...?"

“Back then, you had just been released, and absence makes the heart grow fonder. I was a little excited. Now that I’ve calmed down a bit, I think you won’t be too upset during this time…” Xiao Yao said.

“I’m free now, I can plan my own life, I look forward to the future every day, why should I be in a bad mood? I’m in a great mood.” Shen Jie’s tone was a little annoyed.

Xiao Yao was a little hesitant to speak.

For the past few days, he had been guessing that Shen Jie was just putting on a brave face and pretending to be strong in front of him.

That's just the kind of person she is.

Now, he was starting to feel a little uncertain because of Shen Jie's insistence.

Perhaps, if this is the mask she wanted him to see, shouldn't he have forcibly torn it off?

"I... I think... I don't know you," Xiao Yao swallowed hard. "The most important thing is you. Have you really thought this through? Is now a good time for you? So, have you made up your mind?"

Shen Jie didn't say anything, but simply hugged Xiao Yao even tighter.

“In this situation, I always feel that it’s impulsive, going with the flow, or in other words, too casual… uh,” Xiao Yao added.

"Go to sleep, I'm tired, my dear minister, stop babbling," Shen Jie said.

“No, I have something to say, let me finish,” Xiao Yao said. “I want you to know that even if your decision was impulsive, I am very happy and grateful. When I think about this tonight before I go to sleep, my lips will curl up.”

Xiao Yao believes he was telling the truth.

"I understand," Shen Jie said.

"Mm," Xiao Yao said.

……

"Thank you, Gouzi." After a period of silence, Xiao Yao thought Shen Jie had fallen asleep, but she suddenly spoke again.

"You're welcome?" Xiao Yao said.

"I have actually asked myself whether you feel more love or lust for me now."

"Huh?" Xiao Yao said, "Do we really have to pit them against each other and separate them?"

“But after these two things today, I think it’s still more about love,” Shen Jie told Xiao Yao. “I’m quite happy.”

"Which two things?" Xiao Yao wondered.

“Oh, right, there’s one more thing I want you to know—if you insist…” Xiao Yao said.

"What nonsense am I supposed to insist on? Do you think I'm that desperate?" Shen Jie said, "I'm going to sleep."

"Have you ever thought about where we should have our first time?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

Shen Jie took three seconds to reply, "It seems I really haven't thought about it."

“I actually have a good idea for a place,” Xiao Yao said.

"where?"

“I don’t want a five-star hotel or a luxury hot spring. Like you said, it’s still your money, and we’re just passing through anyway,” Xiao Yao said. “It’s right here in our home, behind the mirror—that’s where I first met you, and it could be where you first met me. Don’t you think that’s very memorable?”

"...Can't you respect your daughter's territory?" Shen Jie thought for a moment and complained, "Also, I think I know what kind of trick you're up to."

Xiao Yao, feeling guilty, said, "It has nothing to do with her—it has nothing to do with that."

"Which one? I haven't said what it is yet!"

Xiao Yao: "..."

"But it's fine, I don't want other people to get involved when I don't want to... it's kind of annoying," Shen Jie said.

“Hmm,” Xiao Yao said, “I hadn’t thought of this if you hadn’t mentioned it.”

Anyway, at least I don't have to hide in the toilet today.

“You want to go to the hot springs? I actually still have vouchers, but I don’t know if they’ve expired,” Shen Jie said.

“In the middle of summer…” Xiao Yao muttered.

“You don’t understand, there are advantages to soaking in hot springs in the summer,” Shen Jie said.

"Are there any hot springs that aren't too crowded?" Xiao Yao suddenly thought of something.

“Yes, there is a private hot spring,” Shen Jie replied.

“Then you can wear the clothes you brought yourself, right?” Xiao Yao said.

"I really can't stand your XP anymore."

"No, Shen Jie told me she really likes it."

"shut up!!"

The noise from next door had stopped at some point, but Xiao Yao didn't shut up. The two changed the subject and continued chatting casually... They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even know what they were talking about until they both fell into a deep sleep, one after the other.

……

……

……

Xiao Yao was awakened by the sound of an air raid siren.

The room light was on, and Shen Jie was leaning against the headboard, solemnly reading the book "Confessions" that she had bought.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yao turned to the side and nudged Shen Jie's slender waist with his nose.

"You should say 'good morning' first thing when you wake up." Shen Jie turned a page of the book in her hand.

"Good morning, good morning, I love you, is this an air raid siren?" Xiao Yao said.

“Yes,” Shen Jie said.

"Today... is it the 1st?" Xiao Yao thought for a moment and said.

"BINGO!" Shen Jie said, "Didn't you receive a notification text message yesterday?"

"Ah, whatever, what time is it now?" Xiao Yao asked.

"10:03 AM - 10:03 AM"

"I'm going to sleep a little longer." Xiao Yao hugged Shen Jie's two thighs, which were a little smooth.

“Your wife Yu Luying called your new cell phone this morning, and I answered it,” Shen Jie said.

Xiao Yao poked his head out again: "You answered it?"

"She said that tomorrow morning, August 2nd, is the last period of the science class, and there will be a graduation ceremony. She asked you to be sure to attend on time," Shen Jie said.

“Hey—then let’s go together,” Xiao Yao said.

“I’m not going. I’m not in your class,” Shen Jie said. “You can have a meal with her alone, go to the Xinhua Bookstore, or go for a swim or something.”

"...Let's go together." Xiao Yao said, feeling embarrassed.

“I don’t want to see her right now,” Shen Jie said.

"What's going on here? We're going to summer camp in a couple of days, so we'll have to see this even if we don't want to," Xiao Yao said.

“There are a lot of people at summer camp anyway,” Shen Jie said. “Alright, now that you’re living with me every day, you should have a chance to meet her alone, right? Fulfill your responsibilities outside, and then treat me well when you come back.”

Seeing that Shen Jie was serious, Xiao Yao had no choice but to nod in agreement.

I took a nap, but before I could fall asleep for long, Shen Jie woke me up again, saying that my daughter had called.

Shen Jie put the call on speakerphone, and Xiao Yao sat up, listening intently. His daughter reported that she now spends several hours here every day in 04, just wanting to see her beloved grandfather, but she can't even see a ghost.

When Shen Tianyun mentioned Shen Jie from 34 years ago, she told them that her mother had come back once and was very disappointed to hear that Xiao Yao had moved out. Now, she had gone to the United States.

Xiao Yao and Shen Tianyun questioned Shen Jie about her details and found that her future seemed to have remained unchanged—Shen Jie was still the next head of the Miwei Group and hadn't become some dropout barbecue stall beauty. They felt a little relieved.

They didn't see Meiyu all day. At noon, the two of them ate poached chicken downstairs, and in the afternoon, they stayed in their room reading. Shen Jie was reading her "Confessions," while Xiao Yao was reading "Love in the Time of Revolution."

"You can understand it?" Xiao Yao asked.

"So you're the only one who can read?" Shen Jie asked.

"Is it pretty? If it is, I'll take a look too."
