Nian Ueno

A year after her marriage, Jiang Weixi's career flourished, and she opened twelve stores in City A.

The yellowed kraft paper booklet has already been deciphered to about half of its contents.

Jiang Weixi decided to expand her territory and open branches in other cities as well.

When I returned home after a business trip of about ten days to other cities, I was greeted by Mr. Ji's resentful gaze.

"Honey, you still remember to come back? I thought you'd forgotten how to get home."

Jiang Weixi walked over and hugged him, her voice sweet and affectionate: "Honey, I missed you so much. I thought about you every single day while I was away~"

One sentence was enough to cheer Mr. Ji up, and all his resentment vanished without a trace.

Ji Dongxun bent down slightly, his strong arms wrapped around her calves, and carried her into the house.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

After not seeing each other for more than ten days, the first thing they did upon meeting was to roll around on the bed for two hours. Mr. Ji immediately transformed into a hungry wolf, eager to devour his prey.

Since getting married, the two of them have been inseparable every night, almost every day except during her period, and sometimes two or three times a day.

She could have had more, but she firmly refused.

She said she had to go to work the next day and couldn't indulge in excessive sexual activity.

Mr. Ji hadn't come for ten days, and he was working very hard; large beads of sweat dripped into her eyes.

Jiang Weixi took a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead. A few minutes later, he was sweating again.

After the end.

She hugged his waist and asked, "I'm curious about something, do you ever get tired of this kind of thing?"

"You mean won't you get tired of doing it?"

"Um."

"Won't."

Do you think about it every day?

"Yes, I think about you every day. Don't you miss me?"

Sometimes I don't want to.

He suddenly pursed his lips and stared at her with a deep, unsettling gaze.

Jiang Weixi blinked innocently: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do you know what this means?"

"What does that mean?"

"That means you don't love me that much."

"...Does not wanting to do something mean you don't love it?"

"Hmm, if you don't want to, then you don't love that much."

"I didn't say I didn't want to, it's just not every day..."

Ji Dongxun sighed: "Alright, you don't need to say anything more, I understand."

Jiang Weixi's forehead creased with three black lines: "Uh, what do you know? I play with you every day, what more do you want?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed him on the cheek, and her eyes sparkled with excitement: "I have something to tell you."

"Um?"

"I applied to the PhD program at University A, and I've been accepted. I'll be starting my PhD next month."

Ji Dongxun was slightly taken aback: "Why did you suddenly decide to pursue a doctorate?"

Jiang Weixi: "After completing the program, you can get a professorship at a university, which will improve your social status."

Ji Dongxun saw right through her thoughts and directly pointed out her intentions: "You feel that your identity as a businessman is not good enough for me, so you want to add another layer of status to yourself?"

Jiang Weixi bit her lip, lowered her eyes, and nodded gently: "That's exactly what I think."

"My wife doesn't have to care about anyone's opinion. You can just do what you like and waste your time on what you really want to do."

"But... I feel like I can't completely not care. This is what I want to do. I like reading, and I also like exploring new platforms and environments."

"If this is something you truly want to do, then I will support you, on only one condition..."

"What?"

"I have to go home to sleep every night."

"Okay~"

Running a business while pursuing her doctorate, Jiang Weixi leads a busy and fulfilling life.

Her social media account has now become the company team's operating account, and she rarely shares personal content. As Mrs. Ji, she needs to keep a low profile.

25-year-old Jiang Weixi, with her hair in a high ponytail, wearing a light blue dress and carrying books in her arms, walked on campus, looking no different from any other college student.

On the first day of school, three boys asked for my contact information.

When she got home that evening, she shared the trivial things that had happened that day with Mr. Ji. It was just a casual chat, but unexpectedly, it made Mr. Ji very jealous, and he punished her severely.

"No more~" Jiang Weixi bit his arm: "It was someone else who asked me for my contact information. What could I do? I've already refused. I can't exactly write 'married' on my forehead, can I?"

Ji Dongxun pinched her slender waist, kissed her neck, and sucked on it a few times.

"Ouch~ Be gentle."

After taking a shower, she looked in the mirror and saw five or six obvious red marks on the side of her neck.

Jiang Weixi came out after drying her hair, half-knelt on the bed, and grabbed his neck: "Did you do that on purpose?"

"What do you mean, intentionally? Honey, what are you talking about?" He feigned innocence and scratched her palm.

She tilted her chin up and pointed to her neck: "You did that on purpose, humph!"

"Yes, I did it on purpose, so that other people would know you're taken."

"Oh—" she drawled, giving him a meaningful look before suddenly lowering her head and burying her face in her neck, leaving a similar mark on him.

"Alright, let's reciprocate. That way, others will know you're taken."

He was both amused and exasperated, his eyes filled with affection as he patted her head: "Sure."

He doesn't mind showing affection in the office.

These marks are all signs of his wife's possessiveness towards him.

Ji Dongxun regretted supporting her in pursuing a doctorate. The thought of the young men around 20 years old on campus suddenly made him feel a sense of crisis.

What if those young boys try to seduce his wife?

Ji Dongxun saw Jiang Weixi applying a face mask.

So he started to take care of his skin like Jiang Weixi: "Wife, can I borrow your skincare products?"

Jiang Weixi asked in surprise, "Didn't you always just wash your face with water?"

"I'd like to try your skincare products; they smell wonderful and seem really good."

"Oh, this is for women. I'll research a men's version for you later."

"Do you have any products for removing wrinkles?"

Today, when he looked in the mirror, he noticed a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes.

Jiang Weixi looked at him: "Mr. Ji, why have you suddenly started focusing on appearance?"

He hugged her from behind, pulling her into his arms, and said with concern, "I'm just afraid that when I get old, you won't want me anymore."

Jiang Weixi was taken aback, turned around, and patted his firm abs, jokingly saying, "Hmm, not bad physique, keep it up~"

"As long as my wife is happy, I will definitely keep it up."

"Mr. Ji, don't be so insecure."

"Mainly because my wife is young, beautiful, and popular..."

"You have such a sweet tongue."

Time flows slowly forward, and life is peaceful and happy.

Three years later, Jiang Weixi completed her doctoral studies and took a job at a university in City A, teaching five classes a week.

She had almost completely researched that booklet, and the company's product range was growing rapidly. As each new product launched proved highly effective, the company's brand awareness continued to expand.

She has opened more than 200 branches in 16 cities, and the scale continues to expand.

She used to feel inferior, afraid that she wasn't good enough for Mr. Ji.

Now it's Mr. Ji's turn to feel anxious and insecure, fearing that his beloved wife will change her mind.

So every day he would pester her with the question, "Wife, do you love me?"

"I love you, my husband!" Jiang Weixi hugged his waist tightly.

She feels very happy and content with her current life; her only regret is that they don't have children.

At the age of 29, Jiang Weixi deciphered the last page of the leather-bound booklet and was shocked.

She held the page in her hand, her hands trembling with excitement.

The last page contained information about her strange illness.

Following the secret recipe and taking traditional Chinese medicine, along with that breathing exercise, she could feel her physical condition improving day by day.

A year later, when she went for a check-up, all her health indicators were healthy, and the doctor said she could get pregnant and have a baby without any problems.

Jiang Weixi was so excited she almost cried.

She didn't tell Mr. Ji about it immediately, but kept pestering him about it every night.

"Honey, why are you being so enthusiastic today?"

Their enthusiasm made him uneasy, and he even started having all sorts of wild thoughts.

For the next month, Jiang Weixi was very enthusiastic, which made Ji Dongxun feel that something was wrong.

"Honey, are you hiding something from me? Have you taken a fancy to some young man?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Jiang Weixi glared at him and gently patted his chest.

She kept quiet until she became pregnant.

Jiang Weixi went to his study and approached him mysteriously: "Honey, I have something to tell you."

Ji Dongxun was working in his study at home when he heard this. He dropped his pen and his heart skipped a beat.

She's been acting very strangely lately.

Ji Dongxun composed himself: "What is it?"

She threw the pregnancy test on the table: "See?"

"What is this?" Ji Dongxun picked it up, saw two bars on it, was stunned for a few seconds, then realized what it was and jumped up from the chair.

"You're pregnant?" He frowned, his expression a complex mix of joy and worry. "But your health..."

"I'm cured now, which is why I was able to get pregnant," she explained about the secret formula.

Ji Dongxun spun her around twice in his arms, his eyes brimming with immense joy: "We're going to have a baby?"

"Um."

"Thank you, honey."

Nine months later.

Jiang Weixi gave birth to a daughter smoothly.

Her full name is Ji Jiayue, and her nickname is DouDou.

From then on, they were a happy family of three!
