"I quit gambling a long time ago, but I still have to have a couple of drinks every night...hehe."

"Although Zhao Di doesn't let me drink too much, she doesn't care if I drink a little at a time. I have to say, after all these years, I now think it's not so bad to have a woman keeping an eye on me."

Tang Xiaoxiao was quite surprised that Tang Yuanshan would say such a thing.

She rarely showed a slightly bewildered expression, and after a while she laughed, "Well, you're really like an old tree blossoming again, finding true love even in your old age."

"Pah, pah, pah! What love stuff!" Tang Yuanshan waved his hands to shoo her away: "Go home now, you little brat, you're embarrassing your uncle!"

Tang Xiaoxiao laughed heartily and jogged away.

Tang Yuanshan stood there in a daze for a while, and then, as if remembering something, he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth. He shook his head and swayed back into the house.

Tang Xiaoxiao's parents' home and Tang Yuanshan's home were not far apart. Tang Xiaoxiao did not drive when she came. After walking for a while, she saw Han Yunqi waiting at the bridgehead, leaning against the guardrail and fiddling with his phone.

But why are there two women with him?

Tang Xiaoxiao walked closer and closer, and Han Yunqi, who had been keeping his head down, did not notice her coming. He could already hear the girl's voice.

"Add me on WeChat, bro, scan my QR code!" Two girls with their backs to her, both with long hair, one of them, with a high ponytail, eagerly held out her phone.

"I already said it's inconvenient." Han Yunqi's voice was very cold, and Tang Xiaoxiao had never heard him speak like that before.

"It's just adding each other on WeChat, what's so inconvenient about it? I'm a girl and I'm already being so proactive, you're a grown man, after all!" The girl's voice rose slightly at the end, carrying an indescribable coquettishness.

I have a wife.

"You're lying. How old are you? You can't even lie properly. I might believe you if you said you had a girlfriend, since you're so handsome..." the girl said, laughing with the girl with long hair next to her.

Han Yunqi finally raised his head, but his expression wasn't good; he seemed to have reached his limit of patience. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Tang Xiaoxiao not far away, and his face immediately brightened. He waved and called out, "Wife~~"

It was so poignant and moving, so deeply touching.

Just like Tang Sanzang, who had been captured by a demon, finally received his life-saving eldest disciple.

Tang Xiaoxiao was amused by her own imagination, but then she realized something was wrong. Wasn't this analogy implying that she was a monkey?

The two girls turned around in surprise when they heard Han Yunqi's words, and then they saw Tang Xiaoxiao standing there.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, she appeared to be surrounded by golden light, so beautiful she seemed unreal.

Holy crap!!! ???

Is this his wife?

The two girls visibly blushed, whispered "I'm sorry!" and ran away with their heads down.

It's unclear whether he was embarrassed because his flirting with Tang Xiaoxiao's wife caught him, or because he felt ashamed of himself after being overwhelmed by Tang Xiaoxiao's stunning beauty.

Watching the two flee in disarray, Tang Xiaoxiao wasn't angry. She walked up to Han Yunqi, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "Not bad, Mr. Han. At your age, you still have the looks to attract attention."

Those two girls looked to be in their late teens or early twenties, probably freshmen or sophomores in college, around the same age as Xuanxuan.

He looked unfamiliar; he didn't seem to be from the town.

That's true. She and Han Yunqi had lived in Hou Tang Village for so long that most people in the town knew them. No one would come up to them to chat.
