This familiar scene involuntarily brought back memories of what happened last night.

A clear voice whispered in my ear, "May I kiss you?"

Lu Wanzheng exclaimed, "Ah! I think you're lying to me. The consequences of lying to me are very..." serious.

She was warming up her hands and feet, preparing for a life-or-death struggle with him, when Xiao Qifeng interrupted her.

Xiao Qifeng reached out and lifted her chin, then nodded and kissed her.

The man maintained his half-bowed posture, his eyes slightly lowered as he gazed at the girl in his arms with her eyes closed.

His kisses were always gentle, tender yet with a touch of domineering, lightly kissing her soft lips from shallow to deep.

Lu Wanzheng's eyes gradually became unfocused.

Since they had just returned, only one wall lamp was on in the house, making the light very dim. The warm yellow light was the only color around them, creating an exceptionally cozy atmosphere.

After a long while, Xiao Qifeng reluctantly left her red lips, which were moist from the kiss.

When she came to her senses, Lu Wanzheng said in a hoarse voice, "You lied to me."

She frowned, pretending to be angry.

I promised to give her something to eat when I got back, but...

Xiao Qifeng's jaw twitched slightly, and he lowered his head to meet Lu Wanzheng's resentful and aggrieved gaze. "I didn't lie to you."

"Hmph!" Lu Wanzheng snorted lightly, turned her head away from him, and ignored him.

Xiao Qifeng raised his hand and rubbed her head to comfort her.

"I really didn't lie to you. I said I'd give you something to eat, but I didn't tell you what it was. So how can you say I lied to you? Are you still hungry? Do you want some more?"

"You're just making excuses!" Lu Wanzheng turned around, cleared her throat, her neck stiff, her face slightly flushed. How was she supposed to answer that last question?

She suddenly realized that the man in front of her had an unusually thick skin.

"Hmm." Xiao Qifeng felt a little tired from leaning over like this, so he sat up straight next to her, put one arm around Lu Wanzheng's slender waist, and turned her head towards him. "I was wrong. I was just being unreasonable. Please don't be angry with me since I apologized."

Xiao Qifeng used what he considered his most charming expression, and even winked at her after speaking.

The warm yellow light softened his stern face, and his deep, pool-like eyes gazed at her tenderly.

Lu Wanzheng: ? ? ?

What to do? She seems to fall for this!

Should I forgive him, or pretend I don't?

I'm so conflicted!

Lu Wanzheng: "I forgive you."

Lu Wanzheng: ? ? ?

How could she hear her own voice? It felt like the words "I forgive you" had just come out of her mouth...

So, is this yet another performance of the idea that beauty can mislead people?

"That's great, I knew you wouldn't be angry with me." He sat Lu Wanzheng on his lap, holding her tightly.

Lu Wanzheng's chin rested close to his shoulder. She sniffed, and this time, without the interference of external smells, the smell of red oil hot pot and greasy barbecue on Xiao Qifeng was even more obvious.

She raised her head and smelled herself again; the exact same scent wafted up to her nose.

"I, a fairy who lives a normal life, took you, a handsome man who is otherworldly, to experience the daily life of a normal couple."

Xiao Qifeng saw her actions just now, but still didn't understand what was going on. "Hmm?"

Lu Wanzheng leaned closer, sniffed his chest, then looked up and nodded. "Ask yourself if you smell more like a human being, making your otherworldly persona instantly crumble."

"Really?" Xiao Qifeng raised his arm, a strong smell of chili oil clinging to his suit. He frowned in disgust.

Lu Wanzheng took in all of her expressions.

"Of course! I'll give you a bath tomorrow, and you'll still be an otherworldly handsome guy."

"Okay." Xiao Qifeng agreed without hesitation. "From now on, I'll only wear the clothes you wash."

"No way." Lu Wanzheng rolled her eyes at her. "I can help you wash them now, but if I go out to work in a while and there's no one to wash your clothes, do you want me to come back to a mountain of laundry?"

Just thinking about the mountains of clothes makes my hands ache.

Xiao Qifeng gently stroked Lu Wanzheng's hand while nodding thoughtfully.

"Then I'll do the laundry when you're not home."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzheng wondered if she was hallucinating and asked incredulously, "You can do laundry?"

Xiao Qifeng: "..."

He's not mentally challenged.

What do you think?

"You don't look like someone who knows how to do laundry; it doesn't fit your persona."

Xiao Qifeng reached out and pinched Lu Wanzheng's face. It was smooth, and he didn't dare to use too much force. His little face was so tender that he was afraid that if he pinched her too hard, she would turn red.

"My persona is that of your husband, and someone who loves you very, very much. Remember that?"

Lu Wanzheng broke free from his clutches, wrapped her arms around Xiao Qifeng's neck, and hugged him tightly. "This persona doesn't seem to be enough. I want you to pamper me more. If I throw a tantrum, you have to indulge me more."

"Okay." Xiao Qifeng patted her back affectionately, his tone serious, "How about I pamper you like a daughter?"

"If I have a daughter in the future, will I fall out of favor? I'll be jealous." Lu Wanzheng still hugged him and snuggled closer to his chest.

Her eyes sparkled and shone brightly.

Xiao Qifeng paused in stroking her hand, then chuckled. Was she jealous of her future daughter?

"Won't."

Lu Wanzheng was taken aback, and peeked out from his arms with a puzzled expression.

“We’ll have a son in the future, then you won’t have to worry about falling out of favor.”

Lu Wanzheng: "Whether it's a boy or a girl isn't something you can just decide on a whim. What if it's a girl?"

"Then raise her like a son."

"good."

Xiao Qifeng stared at Lu Wanzheng, "Since we're discussing the outcome of having a boy or a girl, let's discuss the process."

"Huh?" Lu Wanzheng was startled and immediately jumped up from Xiao Qifeng's body, stammering, "I...I'm going to...take a shower, you...wait for me to finish...before you take a shower."

That cunning and ruthless wolf! We should be wary of him at all times!

After saying that, she ran into her room without looking back.

Watching Lu Wanzheng flee in panic, he raised his hand and rubbed his chin. It seemed that this topic had frightened her.

...

These past few days, after Lu Wanzheng got up, Xiao Qifeng had already gone to work, so the two couldn't see each other during the day. As a result, whenever Xiao Qifeng came home at night and finished work, Lu Wanzheng liked to pull him close and snuggle in his arms to watch variety shows.

The days are routine and relaxed, and life isn't too boring.

The two basically lived the life of an old married couple.

One day, Lu Wanzheng got out of bed around nine o'clock, just like any other day.

She had just finished washing up in the bathroom and came out when her phone rang.

Before she could even speak after answering the phone, the person on the other end interrupted, "Do you know what day it is today?"
