Mr. Shang, please be passionately in love after marriage.

The water in the bathtub overflowed again and again.

The entire ground was soaked with water, and Cen hope didn't even dare to step on it easily, for fear of accidentally slipping and falling.

The next morning.

The moment she opened her eyes, she moved her arms and legs and found herself being held in his arms. The man's breath was as hot as it had been the night before. Cen hope's breath hitched, and she felt inexplicably nervous.

...Why is she sleeping in Shang Hanzhou's arms again?

This time, however, she woke up while he was still asleep.

Not wanting him to notice, Cen hope carefully grabbed his arm, trying to loosen his hand from her waist.

Then she cautiously backed away, and just as she was about to escape his embrace, the person who had been sleeping suddenly woke up and was pulled back into his arms.

"woke up?"

A low, husky voice sounded from above.

Cen hope didn't dare to move; it must have been an instinctive reaction...

"Okay, let's get ready."

She whispered, but he didn't let go, still holding her tightly. Cen hope didn't make any rash moves either. After a while, he finally let go after he had held her enough.

The two of them, with remarkable tacit understanding, distanced themselves from each other.

Cen hope sat up in bed. Just as she was about to get out of bed, her legs started to ache slightly, and she couldn't help but gasp.

"pain?"

A man's voice came from behind, asking a question.

Cen hope bit her lower lip. "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little sore."

I stayed in the same position for too long last night, and I'm a little tired.

"Let me see."

The man with his back to her made a move to walk over, which startled Cen hope. She quickly said, "No need, it's okay."

Shang Hanzhou knelt down in front of her and grasped her slender white calves with his large hands.

The woman's fair thighs were marked with red marks, creating a striking contrast.

He frowned. "Sorry, did I hurt you?"

Wearing very little clothing and being stared at like that, Cen hope became increasingly embarrassed. She pulled the blanket next to her over herself, lowered her eyes, and said, "It's okay."

Besides the pain, there was something else entirely.

"I'll apply the medicine for you."

His arm came around, and Cen hope was lifted off the bed. Startled by the sudden suspension of her body, she instinctively clung tightly to his shoulders.

"...No need, I can do it myself."

Shang Hanzhou's demeanor didn't seem like he was lying, which made Cen hope feel awkward. It was early morning, and everything was clearly visible.

Shang Hanzhou didn't say anything, but simply held her and helped her sit on the sofa. Then he found some medicine, applied a cooling and swelling-reducing ointment to her fingertips, and gently spread it on her skin.

Cen hope blushed and didn't say a word.

After finally finishing, he stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my hands."

"Thanks."

She whispered to herself, sighing inwardly.

Last night, she was a little nervous at first and things didn't go very smoothly. Shang Hanzhou was so flustered by her that he had to keep his breathing out.

Just now too.

She covered her face, but eventually got off the sofa, found some clothes, and put them on.

After washing up, the two of them left the bedroom together.

Shang Hanzhou was wearing a black haute couture shirt today. The fabric was of excellent quality and clearly outlined his tall figure.

The two walked into the restaurant one after the other. Although they didn't say a word, it was clear that the sense of distance between them was much less than when Cen Xi had just moved in.

Aunt Fang saw through it but didn't say anything, and quickly brought out the remaining breakfast from the kitchen.

"Sir, Madam, please enjoy yourselves."

Cen Xichong smiled and slowly drank the soy milk.

Because it was summer and the weather was hot, Aunt Fang specially added ice cubes to the soy milk. Cen hope drank it while watching the ice cubes rise and fall in the soy milk.

Sitting across from her, Shang Hanzhou suddenly asked, "What score did you give her last night?"

cough cough...

She choked on the soy milk she had just drunk.

Why is he asking this question when he looks so serious?

Cen hope quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth. Compared to the first time, Shang Hanzhou's performance last night was a qualitative leap. He was finally not just blindly charging ahead.

I have no idea how he learned those tricks.

After thinking for a moment, Cen hope objectively gave a score: "Ninety-five points."

It improved by fifteen points compared to last time.

"It seems it's not good enough."

Shang Hanzhou's lips were taut, still dissatisfied with the score.

what.

Is ninety-five not high?

"Madam, did you and your husband have an exam last night?"

Just then, Aunt Fang heard them talking about scores and thought they had taken a test. Then she thought of her little granddaughter and said with a smile, "My daughter isn't happy even if she gets 98 points; she has to get 100."

Cen hope looked up at Shang Hanzhou, and couldn't help but laugh when she remembered what he had just said.

It seems he's just like Aunt Fang's granddaughter, only happy when he gets a perfect score.

……

Upon arriving at the hospital, Cen hope received an urgent assignment.

Jiangcheng and Beijing recently jointly held a medical exchange conference, and the hospital was sending several young doctors to attend. She was one of them.

Cen hope grew up in Jiangcheng before attending university, so this trip to Jiangcheng was like coming home.

She wasn't offended at all; in fact, she was quite pleased.

Since arriving at the Cen family's residence in Beijing two years ago, she hasn't had a chance to return to Jiangcheng.

The news of attending the exchange meeting came suddenly, and I had to fly from Beijing to Wuhan that afternoon.

Cen Xi had sent a message to Aunt Fang in advance to tell her about this.

The woman traveling with her happened to be the female doctor with whom she had a fairly good relationship, named Xu You.

This was Xu You's first time visiting Jiangcheng, and she couldn't help but feel excited along the way.

"Dr. Cen, you're practically a Jiangcheng local. When we get to Jiangcheng, you have to take me to try some of the city's specialties!"

On the plane, Xu You excitedly asked her about all sorts of delicious food in Jiangcheng.

The climates of Jiangcheng and Beijing are completely different.

Jiangcheng is a water town in the Jiangnan region, not as dry as Beijing. In summer, it is hot and rainy. When they arrived in Jiangcheng, they were met with a hot and rainy day.

It's much hotter and more humid than Beijing.

As soon as Xu You stepped out of the airport, she almost couldn't withstand the sweltering hot steam.

"I think what I really need to do right now is get back to the hotel, rather than buy souvenirs!"

The person who was so enthusiastic on the plane is now looking a bit dejected.

Although she hadn't been back for a long time, Cen hope had grown up here and was more adaptable than her.

"Close your eyes and rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time."

In the taxi from the airport to the hotel, Xu You, with her eyes closed, weakly replied with an "okay."

This medical exchange conference will last for three days, starting tomorrow.

The hotel was provided by the organizer, and all rooms were standard double rooms.

After lying in the hotel for about an hour, Xu You finally recovered a little.

"I'm hungry, shall we go out and get something to eat?"

Xu You lay on the bed, touching her belly, and asked a question.

Cen hope glanced at the time; it was already 10 p.m. She hadn't eaten much on the plane that afternoon, and was indeed a bit hungry.

She nodded. "Okay, let's go out then."
