After being away from home for half a month, Xie Wei was immediately surrounded by his family members as soon as he returned home, as if they were trying to make up for the time they had been apart. Naturally, Xie Wei could not refuse their kindness and obediently stayed at home for a few days.

He missed them terribly after being away for half a month. While traveling in Anhui, he brought back anything that seemed suitable for them. There were more gifts than luggage. Fortunately, he had a system space.

He also gave the various pills that the Ruthless Immortal had given him. He took out the ones suitable for the women and gave them to them to cultivate, since improving their strength would provide them with more security.

The women were all very happy to receive the gifts; the most handsome men are those who go out hunting and come home safely.

The happiest person to receive the elixir was Su Miaomiao, as it greatly increased her chances of winning the Su family competition.

There are still some gifts left in the system space, some of which are for Xie Lan, and Xie Wei has to go out for a while to get the rest.

As dusk approached, Xie Wei arrived at the foot of the city government building.

Mu Qingcheng was about to go home after get off work when she saw a familiar license plate and people waiting for her, and she was stunned for a moment.

Xie Wei looked at the stunned Mu Qingcheng, walked up to her, gently pinched the tip of her nose, and smiled:

"You haven't seen your husband for half a month, and you don't even recognize him anymore?"

Mu Qingcheng immediately realized what was happening, threw herself into Xie Wei's arms, and said in a voice only he could hear, "Why did it take you so long?"

Mu Qingcheng was always the last to leave work, so the city hall was deserted at this time. Only then would a woman feel bolder.

Xie Wei stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head.

Something came up and I was delayed.

There's no need to talk about romantic matters; Xie Wei understands the principle of not mentioning another woman in front of one.

"Is it about the Lin family?" Mu Qingcheng looked up and met Xie Wei's eyes.

The blissful atmosphere of absence makes the heart grow fonder was shattered. Xie Wei guiltily averted his gaze and awkwardly asked, "How...how did you know?"

"My sisters all told me," Mu Qingcheng said with a satisfied smile as she looked at Xie Wei's reaction. After all, this bad guy had been gone for half a month, and it was hard not to see him.

"I was wrong," Xie Wei immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake, a good habit.

"Hmph!" When Mu Qingcheng saw him push away her embrace like that, she turned around and opened the car door.

"Hmm?" Xie Wei asked in confusion as the other person opened the car door and got in.

Xie Wei returned to the driver's seat, where the flowers he had prepared and the gifts he had brought back from Wandu were in Mu Qingcheng's arms.

The flowers were her favorite roses. Could it be that the gift she brought back didn't suit her taste? That shouldn't be the case; it was bought according to her preferences.

Xie Wei stared blankly into thought, his brows sometimes relaxing and sometimes furrowing, revealing the changes in his mind.

This scene was witnessed by Mu Qingcheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and she could hardly contain her smile.

Xie Wei was still completely baffled and prepared to ask.

As soon as I opened my mouth, I was greeted by a fragrant aroma, and then my lower lip was bitten and sucked.

Xie Wei realized he had been tricked, so he grabbed the other person's head and used his tongue to coax the other person to let go.

Twenty minutes later...

"ha……"

Feeling the swelling in the lower lip, Xie Wei pinched the other's cheek: "Little Orange, you bit pretty hard."

"Let you get carried away..." Mu Qingcheng's breathing was a little uneven, and she didn't know which guy had done this.

Seeing that the other party was satisfied with the gift, Xie Wei felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Xie Wei's adorable appearance, Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but want to kiss him.

However, recalling Xie Wei's fingertips caressing his waist earlier, he realized that Xie Wei was already desperately trying to endure the next move. If he provoked Xie Wei again, he might end up being taken advantage of right here.

She didn't want to do anything so risky, so she held back.

Back at Mu Qingcheng's house, Mu Yao was already a senior in high school. Senior students start school earlier than other students, so only Mu Qingcheng and Xie Wei were in the house.

Xie Wei put the groceries she had bought into the refrigerator and then went into the kitchen.

Two brand-new aprons hung on the wall, one black and one white, the cute kind with cake-like edges.

Xie Wei didn't think much of it and just put the black one on.

Hmm, it smells like Xiao Chengzi. I knew she wouldn't usually wear white into the kitchen.

A short while later, Mu Qingcheng put on the white apron and began to assist Xie Wei.

Looking at the black and white aprons she and Xie Wei were wearing, they realized they had bought them while shopping at the mall. It seemed they had been bewitched and had actually bought matching outfits.

Xie Wei looked at Mu Qingcheng meaningfully. Mu Yao never went into the kitchen, and Xie Wei could understand her thoughts. Seeing the way she avoided his gaze, his guess became even more certain.

With someone helping out, the meal was prepared very quickly.

At the dinner table, Xie Wei also briefly talked about his experiences in Wandu. She was his person, and he was the one who brought her into this world. He was responsible for telling her about the situation in this world.

Mu Qingcheng holds a high position, and even without Xie Wei, she would eventually touch the edge of this world, but that might end in her untimely death. The Zhao family's situation is a good example of that.

Xie Wei also concealed the fact that he was injured; he was fine and there was no need to worry the person in front of him.

After finishing their meal and washing the dishes, both of them knew perfectly well what was going to happen.

Mu Qingcheng went into the bathroom first, followed by Xie Wei.

"What... are you going to do by coming in here?" Mu Qingcheng hugged her chest and quickly submerged herself in the water, leaving only her pretty face showing.
