Chapter 135 Husband

Time flies, and Shi Huai is finally able to leave the hospital after her confinement! Including the time she spent in the hospital, Shi Huai hasn't left the house for three whole months.

After returning to Changjing from Jinling, Shi Huai's first act was to call Song Xu and Wen Ruoyu out for a meal and a stroll. Shi Huai declared that he wanted to eat all the delicious, spicy food he hadn't had in the past three months.

All three of them are now extremely wealthy women, but they still love to eat at food stalls, fried skewers, wraps and roasted pig's trotters.

I kept shopping until night and didn't go home. Instead, I turned around and went to the night market to eat at the food stalls.

Shi Huai specially ordered crayfish and draft beer, and started gulping them down before all the dishes were served.

The taste of the ice-cold beer made her almost scream with joy. She sighed, "This is what life is all about!"

Song Xuwen also picked up the large wine glass and touched Shi Huai's glass, "Are you happy?"

"You're asking nonsense." Shi Huai curled his lips. "If you were locked up for three months and couldn't leave the house, and could only move around in a fixed area, you would probably be even crazier than me."

Song Xuwen: "Anyway, I don't want to have children. It's enough for me to play with your son twice."

When this was mentioned, Shi Huai narrowed his eyes and gave Song Xuwen a knowing smile: "Have you discussed this with Brother Jingxuan?"

Hearing Lang Jingxuan's name from Shi Huai's mouth, Song Xuwen blushed for the first time. "Do I need his consent? I can decide for myself what to do with my own body. If he can't accept it, then we can break up."

Shi Huai sighed: "So domineering? Tsk tsk tsk, if we really break up, don't cry in front of me!"

Song Xuwen hummed and put a peanut in his mouth: "I won't do that."

Ruoyu was peeling crayfish for Shihuai. Seeing that Shihuai was busy talking, she placed the crayfish in a bowl. Soon, a whole bowl of crayfish meat was placed in front of Shihuai. Song Xuwen also had a bowl.

Ruoyu has always been so warm-hearted and caring.

Seeing the whole bowl of crayfish in front of them, Shi Huai and Song Xu Wen both looked at Ruoyu with infatuated faces.

"Wow, sister-in-law, I love you." Shi Huai leaned close to Ruoyu affectionately.

Ruoyu smiled and said, "Don't get too close to me. I haven't taken off my plastic gloves yet."

"Brother is so lucky." Shi Huai sighed.

When Zhou Xu was mentioned, Ruoyu's eyebrows curved slightly and she revealed a beautiful smile.

In fact, Zhou Xu was the one who took care of her when she was out. If there was fruit with shells and skins on the table, before she even noticed, the fruit would be peeled and only the flesh was left on the plate in front of her.

At the dinner table, whether she was eating shrimp or crab, Zhou Xu peeled it for her even if she didn't ask for it.

"It's okay. He usually takes care of me more."

Looking at Ruoyu's sweet face as she recalled the past, Shi Huai clicked his tongue twice.

Halfway through the meal, Shi Huai remembered to ask Ruoyu: "By the way, sister-in-law, how are your preparations for the teacher qualification exam going?"

Ruoyu answered calmly, "The exam is next month, and I've been reading a lot lately."

Huanyu is now two and a half years old and will be able to go to kindergarten next year.

The Zhou family pays attention to cultivating children's interests and hobbies. Xiao Huanyu can now speak and communicate with family members in simple ways. He also has his own wild imagination.

Once Zhou Xu saw Huanyue sneaking into an empty room that no one had been to for a long time, and painting on the blank wall of the utility room with a paintbrush.

Zhou Xu saw this and walked over to ask Huanyu if she liked painting. Huanyu nodded and replied that she liked it very much.

The next day, Zhou Xu contacted people and asked the country's leading masters of oil painting, watercolor, ink painting, etc. to come to Huan Yu's home to teach her one by one to see which one she was interested in.

Finally, Huanyue personally decided on the oil painting.

Zhou Xu also specifically instructed the servants to preserve this room and not allow anyone to touch it or paint it white.

Of course, the results of Huanyue’s first painting must be well preserved.

Taking advantage of the fact that Huanyu had her own hobbies to pursue and was about to go to kindergarten, Ruoyu wanted to improve herself, so she applied for a middle school teacher's certificate.

She used to be a kindergarten teacher in Huihe. She had a primary school teacher's certificate, but she needed connections to get the job. She failed the interview and could only work in a kindergarten.

Working in a kindergarten is really too tiring. Ruoyu thought that since she had decided to go back to work, why not improve herself and move towards a higher path?

Shi Huai hugged Ruoyu's slender waist and called her affectionately: "Teacher Ruo~~"

Ruoyu was amused by her and agreed with a sigh.

Song Xuwen ate the crayfish with relish, and watched the interaction between the two sisters-in-law in front of him, and thought about something.

"Don't just ask us two, what do you think, Shi Huai?"

Hearing Song Xuwen's words, Shi Huai was slightly stunned: "What am I thinking?"

"Now that you've given birth and are out of confinement, what are you planning to do?" Song Xuwen asked.

This question really stumped Shi Huai.

Ji'an is basically taken care of by the nanny all day long. When he sleeps at night, he sleeps in the baby room most of the time. Occasionally, he sleeps with himself. Even if he wakes up at night, Zhou Jibai will get up to coax him.

Being a full-time wife is also good. The family is very rich and harmonious. The husband loves her and she is devoted to the family. She can be a salted fish for the rest of her life.

But she is not a lazy person. It would be a bit unlike her to waste all the skills she has learned.

Shi Huai pursed his lips and held his chin in his hand, thinking deeply.

…

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when I got home.

Shi Huai smelled of alcohol, and she thought Zhou Jibai was also out for dinner and hadn't come back yet, so she casually opened the door and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

As soon as the door opened, he turned around and saw Zhou Jibai half-lying on the bed, holding Ji An, who had just fallen asleep, in his arms. The warm bedside light shone on Zhou Jibai, softening his facial features and making him look like a married man.

The two of them, one big and one small, were lying on the bed, the years were peaceful and warm. Shi Huai's heart softened when he saw it.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Jibai glanced at her and made a silencing gesture: "Shh."

Shi Huai blinked twice. He never expected that Zhou Jibai would be at home coaxing Ji An the whole time tonight.

Ji'an was already asleep, so Shihuai moved lightly for fear of waking him up, not daring to make too much noise to disturb the little guy.

Coaxing a baby to sleep is as difficult as asking her to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad.

Shi Huai closed the door quietly and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

Zhou Jibai nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Coming to the bathroom, Shi Huai let out a long breath and patted his drunken cheeks.

Her head was still a little dizzy, so she didn't rush to take a shower. Instead, she was thinking about what Song Xuwen said today.

Now all her worries have been resolved. The child is born and she has finished her confinement. It is time for her to plan what she will do next.

She would only be 22 next month, and if she stayed at home full-time, eating, drinking and having fun, it would be a bit too lazy. She didn't like it.

She wanted to do something more valuable and meaningful to herself while she was still young.

When I went back to Guangnan during that period, my grandfather twisted his waist. When my grandmother lowered her silver hair to check on him, Shi Huai suddenly realized that his grandparents were actually very old.

My grandmother has accepted countless Suzhou embroidery disciples, but her only concern is herself. She said that she wanted to teach herself everything she had learned in her life, so that she could carry forward Suzhou embroidery with her unique skills.

My grandfather was eager for me to inherit his legacy and become the 24th generation successor of the Buque Sect.

When Shi Huai was young, she did not have much patience to learn Suzhou embroidery. She even did many outrageous things to rebel against her grandmother and anger her.

During her pregnancy, Shi Huai tried to embroider a few pieces, and she felt that she did not have the aversion to Suzhou embroidery that she had in her youth.

The small jacket she wore at her happy birthday party attracted many people's attention. Many wives secretly added her on WeChat and tried every means to ask for a custom-made Suzhou embroidery jacket.

But... she didn't want her grandfather's Buque Sect to be without a successor. Her grandfather was already very old, but he had high standards. After so many years, the successor to the Buque Sect had not yet been found.

Just when Shi Huai was hesitating and struggling, there was a soft knock on the bathroom door.

"Zhizhi, what's wrong?" Zhou Jibai asked in a low voice while standing at the door.

Ji'an was already asleep. After Zhou Jibai put him on the bed, he didn't hear any movement from the bathroom for a long time. Thinking something had happened, he came over to ask worriedly.

After all… when Shi Huai just walked in, he smelled the smell of alcohol.

Shi Huai quickly turned on the faucet and splashed water on his face, trying to get rid of the smell of alcohol on his body, sober up and not look dizzy.

"fine!"

Zhou Jibai frowned, still worried, so he said, "I'm coming in?"

Shi Huai didn't hesitate too much and said, "Okay."

When I pushed open the bathroom door, I saw tiny water droplets hanging on Shi Huai's beautiful rosy cheeks, and the hair in front of her face was wet and stuck to her forehead.

There were also delicate water stains on the rosy lips, like a lotus emerging from the water, so fresh and lively that it touched Zhou Jibai's heartstrings.

But... there was a sad look on this pretty little face.

Zhou Jibai noticed it.

"What's wrong?"

The moment Shi Huai saw Zhou Jibai, the emotions that he had been able to hold on to instantly collapsed.

She suddenly felt very tired, and stretched out her long arms towards Zhou Jibai. Her beautiful eyes were watery and she stared at Zhou Jibai straightly.

She didn't say anything, but Zhou Jibai could understand what she meant at a glance.

He took the initiative to step forward and opened his arms to embrace Shi Huai.

Shi Huai's body was limp, with all his weight resting in Zhou Jibai's arms.

"Drinking?"

"Hmm..." Shi Huai buried her whole face in Zhou Jibai's chest again.

Zhou Jibai lowered his head and kissed the top of her head gently: "What's bothering you?"

Shi Huai's voice was a little hoarse: "I want to go for further studies."

The word "further study" made Zhou Jibai pause, "What do you want to study? I'll help you contact them."

"I haven't thought about it yet. Just Suzhou embroidery and restoration of ancient paintings." Shi Huai sighed heavily again.

Zhou Jibai didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on his wife buried in his arms.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Huai said again: "I want to grab both hands."

"Will it be too tiring?" Zhou Jibai asked.

Shi Huai shook his head, immediately raised his head from Zhou Jibai's arms, and said seriously: "I haven't officially taken the next step yet, how can I back down just because I'm tired!"

Seeing Shi Huai's energetic look, Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows and said, "Then just go for it."

Shi Huai smiled at Zhou Jibai across the air, and couldn't help but put her hands under Zhou Jibai's waist and patted him teasingly twice: "Then you just wait for me to make a big wallet to support you."

Zhou Jibai narrowed his eyes and said lazily, "Okay, then I'll wait at home for the domineering female CEO to come back and pamper me."

The teasing words made Shi Huai laugh.

After laughing for a while, Shi Huai couldn't help but let out a wild thought and sighed in front of Zhou Jibai.

Zhou Jibai reached out and gently pinched Shi Huai's cheeks twice. "Did I abuse you? Why do you always sigh?"

Shi Huai: "Actually, I'm still a little scared and don't dare to do it."

Including her previous life, she had actually neglected this skill for quite a long time.

Zhou Jibai reached out and smoothed Shi Huai's worried frown. "You can squander the Zhou family's fortune at will. If you can squander it all, I'll consider you a formidable figure."

"Oh! It's not about the money!"

Zhou Jibai said without hesitation: "Since you have decided to give it a try, don't worry about any unknown risks."

"Didn't you say just now that we haven't officially started yet? How can you say you're tired?" Zhou Jibai leaned down slightly and rubbed the tip of his nose against Shi Huai's.

"If you're really tired, come back anytime. No one will laugh at you. The fact that you're willing to try is a remarkable thing in itself."

Shi Huai stared at Zhou Jibai's eyes intently. The light from the bathroom fell on the top of his hair, casting a soft and warm light. His amber pupils were extremely gentle and affectionate.

Shi Huai could hardly control his desires and instincts. He hooked his arms around Zhou Jibai's slender neck and forced him to bend down.

She opened her red lips slightly and took Zhou Ji's white lips into her mouth.

Alcohol makes cowards brave, and usually Zhou Jibai is the one who takes the initiative in asking for things like this.

It was during the late stages of pregnancy that Shi Huai's desire became stronger. She would secretly whisper in Zhou Jibai's ear what she wanted.

But the doctor had already said that this was a critical time and he couldn't do it. Zhou Jibai could only do his best to serve Shi Huai and satisfy his own desires.

It was rare that Shi Huai took the initiative today, so Zhou Jibai held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

After a passionate kiss with their lips and tongues, Zhou Jibai and Shi Huai reluctantly let go of each other's lips.

Shi Huai looked at Zhou Jibai with eyes that seemed to be overflowing with spring water. She had not yet recovered from the long kiss just now.

The voice was soft and delicate, making people feel itchy: "Husband, go to the bed."

But Zhou Jibai's breathing was obviously much heavier than Shi Huai's. He first hummed softly, then glanced sideways at the sink behind him.

The next moment, he hugged Shi Huai and sat her on the sink.

Shi Huai:!!!

Zhou Jibai supported himself with his arms on both sides of the sink, tilted his head back, and kissed Shi Huai's lips again.

"Move...slow down, no, it will wake up Ji An."

I don't know when the posture changed. Zhou Jibai bit Shi Huai's ear from behind: "I handed him to the nanny before coming in."

Shi Huai: ???

This kid! He's been planning this for a long time!
