I got home late today, and there was no one coming in or out of the parking lot. Inside the car, all I could hear was the rapid beating of two hearts.

Jiang Yu was still reeling from the kiss, and Chen Cixiu was also feeling a bit regretful. His mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts: Would she be angry? Would she think he was frivolous? Would she divorce him?

My mind wasn't quite working out just now. There are so many ways to prove something, yet I chose the most annoying one. Just now, looking at her face, my eyes involuntarily drifted to her lips, as if the lipstick color was the main attraction.

"you"

"you"

You go first.

You go first.

"Should we go back first?"

"Should we go back first?"

The situation became even more awkward, but fortunately, Chen Cixiu could not detect any anger in her tone, which relieved him slightly.

He got out of the car, intending to open the door for her, but Jiang Yu quickly got out the moment he opened the door and walked ahead of him.

Chen Cixiu slowed his pace slightly, following behind her, gazing at her back. Her coat paired with a black mini-skirt made her snow-white legs even more striking. A gentle breeze blew in from the garage, making her hair, which swayed in the wind, appear even more alluring.

She had a faint, delicate fragrance, like the base notes of orchids, with a subtle elegance.

Chen Cixiu's phone was bombarded with WeChat messages.

It kept ringing.

Jiang Yu walked ahead, constantly hearing his WeChat messages. The scene at the airport flashed through her mind, and she stopped in her tracks.

Seeing that she wasn't leaving, Chen Cixiu stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your phone keeps ringing, is something important?" Jiang Yu didn't dare to look him in the eye, her mind filled with the kiss he had given her in the car earlier. Whenever she looked into his eyes, her thoughts would involuntarily drift to his lips and to the red mark on his neck that morning.

Lin Xiaoxiao told her that when the girls at the company asked him about the red mark on his neck, he said it was his wife who got drunk and made it.

Chen Cixiu didn't check his phone or pay attention to the messages on WeChat. He usually only replied to messages after he got home and sat down.

If WeChat were to release a read receipt feature one day, he would absolutely not do anything, because he doesn't like to check WeChat messages all the time.

Chen Cixiu took out his phone and opened WeChat. His long, slender joints reminded Jiang Yu of the moment he had been leaning against the car seat, and she quickly looked away.

Chen Cixiu saw a message on his phone from his best friend from high school.

[Hey Xiu, if you're free tomorrow, come over for a get-together, it's organized by the class monitor.]

[Brother Xiu, if you don't come, I won't go either. You know I would never eat with them if you weren't there.]

[Brother Xiu, come on over! Shen Yue is coming too. You know, I've liked her since we were kids.]

The series of messages made Chen Cixiu shake his head and chuckle.

Jiang Yu happened to hear his laughter, lowered her head, and felt inexplicably simmering with anger.

Her mind cleared up at this moment. "What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling so anxious and insecure?"

She had never encountered this situation before.

Chen Cixiu looked away from his phone and handed it to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu immediately looked away and put her hands behind her back. "I don't really like prying into other people's secrets."

"I'm not just anyone, I'm your husband." Chen Cixiu blurted out. They had just kissed, and if he didn't say something to make up for it now, he might lose his wife in a minute.

"Then I won't look. Everyone should have their own privacy, even if they are married."

Jiang Yu walked towards home.

Chen Cixiu followed beside her and said, "He's my best friend from high school. He asked me to go to a party with him tomorrow. It's our first party since we graduated from high school. The girl he likes is going too. He's too scared to go alone, so he asked me to go with him."

"You don't need to explain to me, your time is free."

Chen Cixiu suddenly noticed that when Jiang Yu said those words, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and she seemed unaware of this subtle movement herself.

Is this gesture a sign of happiness?

Thinking back carefully, when she told Mu Wan that she was his wife at the airport today, she also made this gesture with the corner of her mouth.

"Since I have free time, I won't report it anymore."

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Yu immediately stopped in her tracks, and Chen Cixiu also immediately turned to her and continued, "But I can't. My wife has to report her itinerary to me."

In her twenty-eight years, she has had her share of princes who could utter sweet words, but to her, their words were nothing short of harassment.

For some reason, Chen Cixiu wasn't saying anything romantic, but it sounded like it, and she didn't even know how to respond to him.

"You'll find out my schedule by going to Lin Xiaoxiao yourself." Jiang Yu quickly quickened his pace.

Gu Qianqian is right. She is no match for him. In this marriage, she is the one who is peeling away the layers of the onion, being torn away by him one by one.

“You are my wife. If I want to date someone now, it can only be you. What would it mean if I dated Lin Xiaoxiao? She is my cousin’s future wife.”

Chen Cixiu spoke very quickly, without pausing at all. After Jiang Yu entered the elevator, she stared blankly at him and asked, "You really didn't go to the debate club in college?"

That's quite a mouth, one line after another. Did you not date during your four years of college?

This information is definitely wrong.

Chen Cixiu smiled and said, "So, from now on you..."

bite!

The elevator doors opened, and before he could finish speaking, he heard Jiang Yu say, "Mom?"

A splendid woman stood at the door.

Chen Cixiu froze in shock when Jiang Yu called out "Mom".

Not ready yet, and you're already meeting my parents?

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's voice, the woman turned around, her gaze immediately locking onto Chen Cixiu behind her. Her face lit up with excitement, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Before she could speak, Chen Cixiu reacted first.

"Liu, Liu, Liu Xian? Auntie."

He realized that it was a bit impolite to call his future mother-in-law by her name, so he quickly added "Auntie".

"You know me?"

Liu Xian looked at him in surprise. The young man's information showed that he was only twenty-two years old, and he had only turned twenty-two the day before he and his daughter got their marriage certificate.

This kid born in the 2000s actually recognizes me? That's quite rare.

She hasn't appeared on screen for many years, at most making a cameo appearance in a few TV dramas where she plays a mother, and even a grandmother.

It was only after she made a cameo appearance as a grandmother in a TV series a few years ago that she started urging Jiang Yu to get married soon.

They kept urging me for years.

"Yes, I definitely know you. My mom likes you a lot."

Chen Cixiu quickly said.

When Wu Minjun was a child, she would say that if she had been discovered by a talent scout, she would have become a famous actress across the country, just like her idol Liu Xian.
