Shen Xi Ming turned his head to look at her, "If you go home, you definitely won't come out for a while. Do you have the heart to just abandon your husband like that?"

Eh, that expression, why does it feel so wronged?

Madam, husband, it wasn't as if he hadn't said these words before, but now that she was back, getting closer and closer to their marriage, and when these things really came up, her heart skipped a beat for some reason. She still felt it was inconceivable, but there was also a faint sense of anticipation.

Seeing her blush like a red apple, Shen Xi Ming seemed to be satisfied. He curled the corner of his lips, no longer teasing her.

"What do you want for lunch?"

"Ugh …"

"Alright, I understand."

Qin Xiaohai glanced at him speechlessly. He hadn't said anything yet.

"What do you know?"

"I just know."

he answered like a child.

Qin Xiaotao smiled, too lazy to argue with him. It was a long flight, and she couldn't sleep at all. It was hard to tell whether she had slept for two hours.

She yawned so loudly that she could barely keep her eyes open.

"Sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when it's time."

"Yes." As soon as she finished speaking, she tilted her head and fell asleep.

When she woke up, she was already in bed.

He stood up and looked around. There was no sign of Shen Ximing in the room.

Simple decorations, spotless high-end furniture, a picture frame on the bedside table. It was a picture of her and Shen.

She ran her hand over it. It was the first time he had seen her in London since they had been together. They had taken pictures under the Tower.

Putting the photo down, she looked at the simple, uninhabitable house and felt a little sour.

She remembered that in the past, she had vaguely known that he often lived in the company and that he had very little time to go home. It was just that he had never mentioned it himself. Yet, she knew that he had been working very hard in these past two years. He had shouldered all of the Luo clan's burdens. From shaky carrying to solid and steady.

In just two years, Luo clan had returned to the top spot from the doomsday business, which was filled with debt, loose management, empty finances, and a lot of debt.

Yet she knew all this from the newspapers, and he had never complained to her about his work. But she knew how much he had paid. The skinnier the figure was, the more it liked to frown, and that was the best proof of that.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Thinking that he had returned, she hurried over to open the door.

Standing at the door was a young boy dressed in a waiter uniform, "Hello, Mister Shen asked me to bring you lunch at this time."

Only then did Qin Xiaohai notice that he was holding several large and small boxes of food in his hands. She reached out a hand and said, "Oh, sorry to trouble you. Just give them to me."

"Mister Shen said that you should eat first. There is no need to wait for him." Then he turned and left.

Qin Xiaotao opened the box. There were more than a dozen of them. All of them were delicacies from her hometown that she had once inadvertently brought up.

So it turned out that he remembered them all.

However, it was difficult to pick up the chopsticks. With so much food, he didn't know which to eat first.

She thought that he had probably not eaten. Even if the delicacies were in front of him, she had no appetite. After taking a few bites, she put it down.

Long flights were tiring, and even after a few hours of sleep, he still felt sleepy.

Call your mother and tell her you're safe and will be home before dinner.

Thinking that he might not be back for a while, she took out her housedress from her suitcase and prepared to take a bath before going to bed.

A comfortable hot bath seemed to alleviate some of the fatigue in his body. When she came out of the bathroom, she was wiping her hair when she heard a noise in the living room.

Walking towards the living room, Shen Xi Ming sat on the sofa near the window, quickly flipping through the documents in his hands, his brows still slightly creased.

"You're back."

The girl's cheeks were a faint pink, without the slightest hint of makeup. The girl's white skin appeared even more transparent and tender, and her long, wet, dark chestnut hair hung messily behind her head, the tip of her hair dripping with water.

He was wearing a light pink cartoon home clothing, which made it even more obvious that his toenails were pink. Oh right, Comrade Qin Xiaoshui, who had rushed into the living room, forgot to put on her slippers.

Shen Ximing unconsciously swallowed his saliva, slightly narrowing his eyes, saying, "Come here."

The moment he woke up, he could see his own boyfriend. Qin Xiaohai was so happy that he forgot to think. He quickly ran over. "You …"

However, the moment he opened his mouth, he was immediately pulled towards him. His entire body fell into his embrace, and in the next second, his lips were covered. His kiss was not as gentle as before, it was overbearing and urgent. His large hand tightly gripped her neck, as if he wanted to swallow her whole body into his stomach.

Qin Xiaotao was at a loss as to what to do about his sudden enthusiasm. However, her body was the most honest response she had ever received after a long time of yearning from a foreign land. She could not help but stutter in response to his forceful plundering.

Her large hands caressed her delicate cheeks. His slightly cold fingertip caused her to shudder involuntarily as goosebumps appeared all over her body. She felt that only the man in front of her was left in this world. She couldn't help but want to get closer, to get closer.

At this moment, he suddenly pulled her away. Seeing her watery eyes, filled with confusion, Shen Xi Ming suppressed his heavy breathing and gently kissed his swollen lips.

After that, he pulled her into his embrace and muttered, "Madam, what should I do if you call me husband?"

Qin Xiaohai's train of thoughts gradually returned to normal. Only after some time did she finally understand the meaning of his words. Remembering their previous relationship and their feelings, she tightly closed her eyes. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to face him.

He had been intimate before, but not to this extent.

Shen Xi Ming quietly hugged her for a while, then kissed her hair. Picking her up, he stood up and placed her on the large single sofa, "Wait a bit, just a bit more."

As he spoke, he quickly turned around and entered the bedroom.

Wait a minute. She wondered what that meant, but didn't have time to think about it. Hearing the footsteps getting further away, she carefully opened one of her eyes. Seeing that he really wasn't in the living room, she let out a breath of relief. The next second, he came out with a hair dryer in his hand.

Qin Xiaotao quickly lowered her head, fully understanding the meaning behind her words.

Shen Xuming stood behind her. The hair dryer was turned on in the softest position, it was warm, neither hot nor cold. Just right, the wind blew over, making one want to sleep.

However, he couldn't fall asleep right now. Qin Xiaohai blinked hard, trying his best to stay awake.

However, Shen Xi Ming had used his hands to run his fingers through her hair, touching her scalp with his fingertips. A slightly cold sensation caused her to tense up from head to toe.

The two of them had their own thoughts. The process of blowing their hair seemed exceptionally long.
