Chapter 141 Why Endure?

A kiss eased some of the pain of longing. Xie Yanning held her hand in his large hand and said, "I miss you everywhere. If you don't want to miss dinner, don't tease me."

Su Wanwan blushed slightly and said, "Can't you have a little self-control?"

Xie Yanning smiled. This seemed a bit unreasonable.

After the two finished eating out, Su Wanwan asked, "Where are you staying? I offered to book a hotel for you, but you said you didn't need it."

He arrived quite late today, so it's impossible for him to go to the Su family's house today.

Xie Yanning drove, "To my house."

"You still have a home here?" Su Wanwan asked.

“What’s so strange about that?” Xie Yanning said. “I just had it cleaned up. Let me show you.”

When she arrived, Su Wanwan was speechless.

It's quite close.

It's only a few kilometers from her home.

In the villa area on the other side.

"You're never coming here, so what's the point of buying this place?" You'll only stay here a couple of days a year. Are you buying it for the servants to live in?

“When I was studying abroad, a friend of mine moved his family and had to sell his house, so I bought it.”

"It's not like we can't sell them, you don't need to."

Xie Yanning carried the luggage down, smiled, and offered no explanation.

The reason they bought it back then was probably to be closer to Su Wanwan.

There's no need to voice these thoughts.

Su Wanwan sighed that Xie Yanning was foolish and had too much money.

The servants had already tidied up the place.

The master bedroom is on the second floor.

Su Wanwan wanted to help, but Xie Yanning stopped her, saying, "Don't tire yourself out."

"..." What's so tiring about this?

Su Wanwan watched Xie Yanning hang up his clothes from behind.

He had taken off his coat, revealing a warm, close-fitting cashmere sweater underneath, which made his waistline even more prominent when he bent over.

Professor Xie is truly stunningly handsome.

Su Wanwan, as if bewitched, stepped forward and hugged his waist, causing Xie Yanning to pause in hanging up his clothes.

He turned around, his eyes darkening.

It had been almost a month since they last got intimate.

No matter how self-controlled he is, he's still a normal man.

Su Wanwan stroked his waist and whispered, "Professor Xie, I miss you so much."

Xie Yanning could no longer hold back. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply, rubbing her lips together repeatedly.

After a long while, the enchanting scene finally came to an end.

At first, it was still bright outside, but now it's getting dark.

Su Wanwan had no strength left.

Xie Yanning pulled the person into his arms, his lips lingering on her shoulders and neck.

"It itches." Su Wanwan wanted to get away, but there was nowhere to escape.

"Didn't you say I was too far away to help? Are you able to now, Dr. Su?"

"..."

That's perfect!

"Is this your excuse for living hand to mouth?" Su Wanwan said angrily.

Xie Yanning chuckled softly, "Please understand, I really miss you so much, or are you not feeling well?" She missed the person in front of her so much that she wanted to integrate him into her very being.

"..."

"Hmm, why aren't you saying anything? These kinds of things need to be communicated."

"..." Su Wanwan wished he would shut up.

"You were so bold when you were flirting with me, but you're shy about saying these things?" Xie Yanning felt that the two of them needed to communicate more and try to reach a balance.

Even though the two had already communicated many times, Su Wanwan's heart still raced when she looked at the person in front of her.

She really, really liked the person in front of her.

She climbed onto his neck and pulled him close to her.

The two embraced each other in a posture reminiscent of mandarin ducks with their necks intertwined.

Su Wanwan said, "I like you. I like everything you do to me."

Although Su Wanwan usually called Xie Yanning a beast, she longed to be with him, to have him kiss her, to merge with him, and to feel each other's breath.

"What if we go even further?" Xie Yanning straightened up slightly, his fingers gently touching the corner of her lips. "Is something even more extreme possible?"

"Of course, there's no need for physical harm." She wasn't interested in anything that was too stimulating.

Xie Yanning brushed her hair to one side, "No, I can't bear to."

"Then, that's fine," Su Wanwan said softly.

Xie Yanning couldn't help but kiss Su Wanwan again.

How can they be so obedient, so well-behaved, and so endearing?

They had been fooling around for a long time, and it was getting dark. Xie Yanning stopped bothering him and, having relieved his longing, picked him up and took him to the bathroom to clean up.

Xie Yanning, on the other hand, threw the bed sheets into the washing machine.

Seeing Su Wanwan's uncomfortable expression, "Are you shy again?"

"No!"

Anyway, it's not all hers.

After washing up, Xie Yanning took people out to eat.

This time, Su Wanwan led the way.

"I'm the local tyrant!"

Xie Yanning dutifully acted as a driver, going wherever Su Wanwan directed.

Hong Kong Island may be small, but it boasts a wide variety of delicious foods.

Su Wanwan took her people to a newly opened restaurant that specializes in medicinal cuisine, and the food was exceptionally delicious, supposedly due to a family tradition of medicinal cuisine.

The boss, who comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, doesn't like practicing medicine; he only loves being a chef. After struggling with his family, he ended up combining both professions.

The waiter handed them the menu.

Su Wanwan sat down next to Xie Yanning and picked out a few to show him, saying, "These are all pretty good."

Xie Yanning doesn't study traditional Chinese medicine, but his mother is a professor of botany, so she has some connection with traditional Chinese medicine and has some understanding of it through exposure.

"These are quite nourishing." Xie Yanning felt that Su Wanwan's mention of nourishment in various ways was meaningful.

Su Wanwan said, "I think you need to replenish your energy after what you've used up today."

"You're really straightforward," Xie Yanning chuckled.

"One shouldn't shy away from seeking medical help when facing difficulties," Su Wanwan said. "Then shall we order these?"

"Can."

Neither of them are particularly picky eaters.

After ordering, Su Wanwan wanted to sit back down opposite, but Xie Yanning pulled her back and wouldn't let her leave.

"Let me hold your hand," Xie Yanning said.

Su Wanwan's already fair and delicate hands became even softer after this period of rest, and Xie Yanning gently stroked her fingertips.

Su Wanwan thought for a moment, then simply took out her phone with her other hand. "You're coming to my house tomorrow, so I'll let you familiarize yourself with the place again, so you don't forget."

Su Wanwan really underestimated Xie Yanning.

With his memory, he can remember it after seeing it only once.

The Su family also took this matter very seriously.

Even the workaholic older brother brought his wife back.

"Mm." Xie Yanning nodded gently.

Su Wanwan opened the photo album. "This is my grandfather. He's not very fierce, but I don't know if he'll give you a hard time tomorrow."

“These are my eldest uncle, eldest cousin, eldest cousin's wife, and second cousin. You’ve met them before.”

In fact, Xie Yanning had already learned about it through various channels before coming.

Since we're going to visit their home, we definitely need to follow all the proper etiquette.

But seeing Su Wanwan's serious expression, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

"My uncle and his family should be fine, but my cousin always thinks I've been taken advantage of by a pig."

Xie Yanning, who was treated like a pig: "..."

Okay, he admitted it too, he did arch it.

"I will try my best to perform well."

“But with your looks, you’ve already passed the looks test,” Su Wanwan said.

What if I'm ugly?

“I’d still love you even if you’re ugly.” Su Wanwan made no mention of her being a looks-obsessed person. “I love your inner qualities, not your face.”

Xie Yanning didn't actually believe it just because she often clung to the wall to watch male college students with eight-pack abs playing basketball.

"Yes, I believe you," Xie Yanning said. "Of course, it would be even better if you didn't drool over my school's students so often."

"I didn't drool! Don't slander me!"

The rebuttal is that there was no drooling, not that there was no watching.

Xie Yanning's heart finally died. "So you really like it?"

Su Wanwan said deeply, "You don't understand. People who are in the hospital usually have problems here or there. I need to find some youthful energy to treat them."

"Look at me, I'm not good enough?" He's also very youthful.

"..." Su Wanwan turned his face to face: "Have some self-awareness, we are all old people."

Xie Yanning: "..."

At this moment, the medicinal cuisine was served.

Su Wanwan let go of him and sat back in her seat.

It's so inconvenient for everyone to sit on one side.

After exercising, they were both hungry.

The medicinal cuisine looked delicious and made my mouth water.

We're on the 20th floor here, and we can see several landmark buildings across the harbor. The city's neon lights are lit up and reflected in the sea, drifting slowly with the sea breeze.

"Have you been there? There are even handprints of famous people there."

Xie Yanning shook his head. He never stayed in this city for long, mostly because of work. Even when he had time, he wasn't in the mood to explore.

"I'll take you there when I have time." It's too late today.

After the meal, Xie Yanning drove Su Wanwan home.

At the villa gate, Xie Yanning kissed her forehead and watched her go inside before returning home.

After doing something naughty with Xie Yanning in the afternoon, Su Wanwan felt a little guilty when she got home.

She straightened her clothes in the garden.

Even though she checked herself in the mirror repeatedly before leaving Xie Yanning's house to make sure that the ambiguous marks were only visible under her clothes, she still dared not let her guard down.

When Su Shili came home from get off work, he saw Su Wanwan still loitering at the door. He turned on his car lights and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Su Wanwan was startled.

"What can you do? Go home."

Su Shili got out of the car and looked at her with some suspicion, asking, "Why are you back so early? Wasn't Professor Xie supposed to be arriving by plane today?" He thought that absence makes the heart grow fonder and that the two of them would stay out all night.

"I've already given it to him."

Su Shili nodded.

At least the two of them had some sense of propriety.

Su Wanwan ignored him and went straight back to her room.

Back in her room, Su Wanwan took a shower and changed into a light nightgown.

Su Wanwan didn't like having the heating on, and it was still a bit chilly at night, so she put on a coat and, estimating when Xie Yanning would be back, sent him a message.

Did you go back?

At the same time, another message popped up, this one from Qin An.

[There's a charity gala for the medical community tomorrow. Are you interested in attending?] Although it's called a medical charity gala, these galas attract celebrities from all walks of life. To put it bluntly, it's a networking event, a place where everyone can exchange information and resources.

The Su family is probably on the invitation list, but it's unclear who will go.

Su Wanwan: "..."

She thought for a moment and replied.

Can I bring my boyfriend along?

Su Wanwan wasn't sure what the other person's reaction was, but it took quite a while for them to reply.

【good. 】

Su Wanwan was just asking; whether Xie Yanning wanted to accompany her was another matter entirely.

Xie Yanning replied to Su Wanwan's message a while later: [Just went to take a shower. Get some rest, you must be tired today too.]

Su Wanwan: "..."

Whose fault is it that she's tired?

Professor Xie, you've put in a lot of effort, so you need to be in good form tomorrow.

Xie Yanning, who was holding a computer in front of him, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Su Wanwan's words. Shu Yangqiu, sitting opposite him, was speechless.

Don't worry about him, he's used to it.

Even across mountains and rivers, he could still smell the sour, pungent scent of love emanating from Xie Yanning.
