Chapter 88 I've always loved it, from beginning to end.

Si Shen held him and sat on the edge of the bed, looking down... the sky looked so dark it could punch a hole in it.

His fingertips brushed against He Yanxun's Adam's apple: "It seems the old man's medicine is working very well, 'strengthening the body,' continue soaking tomorrow."

He Yanxun's face turned as red as a pig's head: "I'm going to... let go... Holy crap... what are you doing... hey!!!"

He tilted his head back, breathing heavily like a drowning person. His dark eyes were terribly unfocused.

After a long time~

Si Shen sat on the edge of the bed, slowly drinking the water that had gone cold.

He Yanxun lay on his lap and looked up at him.

"What? Not enough?"

Si Shen's voice had a distinctive hoarseness when he spoke.

He Yanxun looked at the fingers holding the glass; the knuckles were prominent, the skin was fair and long, and the nails were neatly trimmed.

It made him think of...

Looking at my own fingernails, I realized he had also done them; he was my father.

"Huh? What are you looking at?"

He Yanxun shook off the inappropriate thoughts in his mind: "Nothing, are we going back to Luocheng tomorrow?"

During his week in Beijing, he felt like a canary kept in a gilded cage by Si Shen.

Staying at home.

"I'm not going back. Xiao An and the others can go back on their own. I have other things to do."

He Yanxun crawled under the covers and turned his back: "Oh, then you go ahead with your work, I'll go back."

"If I don't go back soon, my company is going to go bankrupt."

The sound of something heavy being placed on the bedside table, the next second, being pressed down: "I didn't serve you well enough, so you're in such a hurry to go back, huh?"

He Yanxun turned to the side, gritting his teeth as he said, "Didn't you fucking see the teeth marks on it just now?"

The man chuckled softly, "If you don't move, how could I possibly hurt you, hmm?"

Um?

Hmm, his second uncle?

Damn Q-dog!

Qiao Xu went downstairs to the kitchen, and seeing that no one had returned, she picked up the dog and went downstairs.

I saw Xu Si'an standing by the kitchen window, lost in thought.

She put the cherry down, and the little brat darted to Xu Si'an's feet and started pawing at his legs.

As the man squatted down, his lower back suddenly stiffened.

Qiao Xu quickly stepped forward to help him up: "What are you doing? Does it hurt a lot?"

After holding the dog and standing for a while, Xu Si'an rubbed Cherry's head and said, "Tomorrow you can eat, drink, and have fun with your godfather."

Cherry let out two howls, and Qiao Xu took the dog from his arms and put it on the ground.

"Can you handle flying back and forth?"

The next second, she was pinned against the kitchen counter: "As long as you don't bewitch me, I can take it."

Qiao Xu glared at him: "Be serious."

"I have a very proper wife."

Xu Si'an leaned down and whispered in Qiao Xu's ear, "Wife, the injection site hurts a bit. Do you need some special breathing aid?"

"Um!"

Qiao Xu's soft "hmm" made Xu Si'an want to immediately carry her upstairs.

But the medicine on the stove wasn't ready yet, so he simply lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Qiao Xu reached out and hugged his neck in response, the sound of medicine rolling on the stove and the "tsk tsk tsk" of kisses intertwined.

"Cough cough!"

Qiao Xu was startled. Xu Si'an felt a pain in his lips and released her, pressing her face into his arms.

"You go to the doctor just because you have a cough? You have no sense of propriety at all."

He Yanxun still had half a cigarette between his fingers, and said with a half-smile, "You two kissed like this in public, and you blame me for being blind? Cherry saw me."

He squatted down and petted the dog: "Isn't it Cherry? Your dad is a scoundrel."

Xu Si'an ruffled Qiao Xu's long hair: "Take care of Cherry for two days."

He Yanxun's eyes lit up: "Come on, kid, your godfather will take you out for a good time. Take a bath, get a haircut, and find a boyfriend."

Xu Si'an grabbed a rag and threw it at his face: "You fucking... you'd better not bring it."

If he gets corrupted again, Qiao Xu will kick him off the bed.

He Yanxun opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice water, and tucked the dog under his arm: "You guys keep kissing, Cherry will sleep with me tonight."

······

Qiao Xu lay on Xu Si'an's chest, her shoulders visibly trembling.

He smiled indulgently: "Is it funny?"

"A little."

"Go back to your room. Your phone has rung several times. I'll take care of the medicine."

Xu Si'an pulled Qiao Xu into his arms: "Baby, I love you."

Qiao Xu paused for a moment, then said, "I know."

A few years ago, Qiao Xu would have been used to suddenly saying "I love you," but in the six months since their breakup and reunion, the two of them have been exchanging sarcastic remarks, saying "I love you" almost as often as they've done AI.

"Then tell me you love me, okay? I really want to hear it."

Qiao Xu tilted her head up and kissed his chin: "I love you, A Si, I've always loved you, from beginning to end, and I will love you now and in the future."

"Whether you are male or half-male, I will love you."

Xu Si'an's lips twitched, and he pinched her cheek: "There's no need to say the last sentence."

Qiao Xu didn't return to her room until she finished drinking the Chinese medicine.

The moment they entered, their lips were sealed together, and the smell of medicine filled the air between them.

"Qiaoqiao, it hurts."

After a lingering kiss, both of them were breathing heavily.

Xu Si'an kissed her eyes, the tip of her nose, her face, and finally pecked her red lips.

"Wife..."

Qiao Xu looked away from his pitiful eyes.

"Grandpa Fang said you must abstain from sex!"

Qiao Xu took out the handmade fruit candy she bought at the mall at noon today from her bag and popped one into her mouth.

The scent of oranges had barely filled the air when the dog pounced on them.

"Stop messing around, what time is your flight tomorrow?"

Xu Si'an snatched her candy away: "This afternoon."

"Qiaoqiao, I'm abstaining from sex, you don't need to!"

Qiao Xu: ······

"Stop fooling around. Grandpa Fang said you need to rest well. Today's treatment took a lot of your energy."

Xu Si'an persisted, using the fact that he had lost face in front of the old man at noon that day to make Qiao Xu comfort him.

Although it was purely for comfort, Xu Si'an was still happy.

After Qiao Xu fell asleep, he gently lifted the covers, got out of bed, took his phone, and went into the bathroom to make a call.

Los Angeles Airport!

Song Jia, who came to pick him up at the airport, cried her eyes out.

Qiao Xu was both amused and exasperated. She took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to him.

Xu Si'an said with a look of disgust: "Alright, even the King of Hell didn't dare to take me. What if he changes his mind if you keep crying?"

"Shut up!"

Qiao Xu kicked the person who spoke without thinking.

That mouth of hers is really asking for trouble.

"Stop crying, I'll give you a raise, okay?"

Song Jia took the suitcase: "President Xu, are you going back to Xuxing?"

Xu Si'an put his arm around Qiao Xu, put on his sunglasses, and walked out: "Am I going back to compete with your cousin for a job?"

Song Jia: ······

"Where are you going? I'll go with you. My brother has private connections."

Xu Si'an played with Qiao Xu's hair: "After a while, An Qiao will move back to China from international relocation."

Song Jia's eyes sparkled: "Really? How long will it take?"

"Then am I still the assistant to the general manager?"

Xu Si'an lay on Qiao Xu's lap, his voice languid: "Then you'll be the CEO?"

"Then let's forget about it."

"I love being a beast of burden."

"Uh! The secondary couple is really sweet and there will be a romantic twist later on. Those who like this kind of couple can look forward to it. Those who don't can just scroll past it. Love transcends gender, so just scroll past it. It's sweet and guaranteed to be great. CEO He will have a 'chasing-back-to-himself' kind of drama to watch!!!"
