Chapter 112 Grow Old with Me

On the day she left confinement, He Yanting packed Jiang Xu's things personally.

She stood aside and watched him bend over to fold clothes.

"Are you touched?"

He Yanting looked at her in the mirror opposite, curling his lips in a teasing manner.

Jiang Xu looked away calmly: "Can we go to University A later? Professor Wu wants to see the child."

"Professor Wu?"

He Yanting frowned.

Jiang Xu's expression was calm. "Yes, my mentor from college heard that I had a baby and wanted to see him."

He Yanting hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "If you're so worried, just let Xiao Jiang and the others follow me. They're very professional, and I can't run away."

He Yanting stuffed the clothes into the bag, stood up and walked to her.

"Ruanruan, our son is born. Once we get the marriage certificate, if you don't like bodyguards following you, you can refuse at any time."

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "Okay."

He Yanting's eyes lit up, "Are you really willing to get the marriage certificate?"

Jiang Xu nodded: "I'll pick a good day."

He Yanting hugged her and said excitedly, "Let's live happily as a family of three from now on and never separate, okay?"

Jiang Xu pressed against his chest, a smile that didn't reach her eyes: "Okay."

It was already afternoon when we arrived at University A.

Jiang Xu came to Professor Wu's office, and He Yanting followed behind, holding He Linxi in his arms.

"teacher."

Jiang Xu called out respectfully.

Professor Wu nodded and looked at He Yanting: "I want to talk to Jiang Xu alone."

He Yanting's expression was very calm: "I am her husband, you can say whatever you want to say directly, there is no need to avoid me."

Professor Wu pushed his glasses up and smiled, "Mr. He really cares about Jiang Xu."

Jiang Xu brought the child over and showed it to Professor Wu.

Professor Wu praised him a few words, then turned around and took out a red envelope from the drawer.

"I don't know what to buy, so I'm giving this as a token of my appreciation. It's not a lot of money, but as the saying goes, a small gift is worth a lot of thought. You can't refuse."

Jiang Xu returned the child to He Yanting and took the red envelope: "Thank you, teacher."

"By the way, how's your preparation for the postgraduate entrance exam going?"

Professor Wu asked again.

Jiang Xu said: "Still working hard."

Professor Wu smiled and said, "I think you might as well come to me. I can give you a backdoor. As long as you pass the written test, you can be exempted from the interview."

He Yanting said, "Ruanruan, this is good."

Jiang Xu nodded gently: "Yeah."

Professor Wu said, "It's settled then. You come to me and don't go anywhere else."

After saying that, she picked up her books and said, "I'm going to class now. You guys go back."

Jiang Xu and He Yanting left the office.

He Yanting held her hand and said, "So... you've decided to go to University A?"

Jiang Xu squeezed the red envelope in her hand slightly: "Yes, it's decided."

He Yanting smiled and was in a very good mood. He handed the child to the nanny and took Jiang Xu for a stroll on the campus of University A.

"We haven't been back for a long time, and this place is still the same as it was back then."

He squeezed Jiang Xu's hand and said, "Everywhere I look, I can remember what we did here before."

He pointed to the rockery: "We hid there and kissed, remember? The second time we kissed, you were too shy to look at me. I thought you were so cute at the time."

They came to the lawn.

"When the sun is shining, we read books together here. You are most afraid of insects. When you see one, you get so scared that you hide in my arms."

And the lake.

"We used to love sitting here side by side and watching the sunset. You said we wanted to do the same when we get old."

At this time, the sun was setting.

He Yanting pulled Jiang Xu to sit on a bench by the lake, held her in his arms, and gently kissed the top of her head.

"Ruanruan, grow old with me, and then come here to watch the sunset together, okay?"

The setting sun casts a layer of golden fragments on the lake, reflecting dreamy and gorgeous colors.

Jiang Xu looked at the dreamy and almost unreal scenery and did not answer immediately.

Suddenly, the child cried.

He Yanting got up to see the child.

Jiang Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had no way to answer the question just now.

After returning home in the evening, He Yanting went to the study to work.

Jiang Xu returned to the bedroom, opened the red envelope given by Professor Wu, and took out the banknotes inside.

She crumpled the red envelope, then tore open a layer of paper inside, and saw two bags of powder placed in transparent bags inside the interlayer, one bag was white and the other was light yellow.

There were a few short numeric codes written on the bag.

Others may not know what they mean, but Jiang Xu knows very well what they represent.

This is the drug description code created by Professor Wu.

These codes mean: drowsiness, onset of effect within five minutes, duration of effect between seven and twelve hours, antidote.

—

For the next month, Jiang Xu was almost submissive to He Yanting.

She no longer gave him the cold shoulder or spoke harshly to him.

When he kissed her, she would even kiss him back.

This made He Yanting overjoyed.

One morning, He Yanting made breakfast, Jiang Xu walked over, hugged his waist, and kissed him on the lips.

"Thank you, husband."

The chopsticks in He Yanting's hand fell directly to the ground. When he came to his senses, he hugged Jiang Xu.

"Ruanruan, what did you call me just now!"

He held her face in his hands, his dark eyes filled with surprise and excitement.

Jiang Xu blushed for a moment and said in a coquettish voice, "Husband."

He Yanting's eyes and eyebrows were full of tenderness and joy. He held the back of her head and kissed her deeply.

Jiang Xu's hands were on his chest, and she leaned back as he kissed her.

If He Yanting hadn't had his hands supporting the back of her head and waist, she would not have been able to withstand his passion.

The long kiss ended with both of them breathless.

He Yanting hugged Jiang Xu tightly, his voice hoarse: "Ruanruan, I love you. I will love you with my life."

Jiang Xu calmed down and asked, "Do you remember what day it is next week?"

He Yanting smiled and said, "Of course I remember. It's our fifth anniversary."

Jiang Xu raised her eyes, looking at him expectantly with clear eyes: "I've said before that what I want most is to go camping with you on our anniversary and watch the sunrise on the top of the mountain."

She pouted, grabbed his collar and shook it: "Alright!"

He Yanting frowned slightly. "But you've only had the baby two months ago, and your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Can you handle camping?"

"But I want to watch the sunrise with you."

Jiang Xu leaned in his arms and acted coquettishly.

He Yanting lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. Her lips, which had just been kissed fiercely by him, were slightly swollen, and their crystal clearness made them look even more delicious.

He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Give me one more kiss and I'll go camping with you."

"Thank you, husband."

Jiang Xu hooked her lips around his and kissed him, and He Yanting intensified the kiss without hesitation.

On that day, He Yanting booked the best camping spot on the top of the mountain.

A week later, they set out in the afternoon.

After a simple tidying up, the two held hands and prepared to go out, but the nanny ran out with He Linxi in her arms.

He Linxi burst into tears.

The nanny said anxiously, "I don't know what's wrong with this child today. He keeps crying. He's not like this usually!"

He Yanting walked forward and looked at the child: "Are you feeling unwell?"

The nanny said, "The doctor came for a physical examination this morning, and the young master is in good health."

He Yanting brought the child over and coaxed him for a while, but he cried even harder.

It was almost a heart-wrenching cry.

The nanny looked at Jiang Xu and said cautiously, "Madam, why don't you hold him and try?"
