Back in the capital, Qin Chu only spewed insults when he was in a good mood.
But the last time she came to Sicheng, she brought all five bottles with her.
I happily opened a bottle, put two rattan sticks inside, and placed it on the cabinet in the entryway as a diffuser.
"Lu Xizhou, from now on, you'll smell this scent as soon as you enter the house, and you'll know you're home!"
The words Qin Chu had spoken echoed in my ears.
The image of her smiling face is in my mind.
The pent-up frustration in my heart suddenly dissipated.
With a deep breath, Lu Xizhou's stiff shoulders and neck gradually relaxed.
The father's disappointed gaze.
My mother's angry face, and those hurtful words.
All of this echoed in his ears again, but Lu Xizhou was no longer depressed as before. He changed into slippers and went straight to the bedroom.

[I just wanted you to come and feel your husband's warm embrace so you wouldn't be able to sleep at night thinking about me. If you don't come, I'll definitely be there on the first day of the lunar new year!]

He didn't even know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, without checking the time, Lu Xizhou went back into the study.
For several days in a row, Lu Xizhou practically lived in his study.
When Lu Xizhou received a call from Lu Hongfeng asking when he was coming home, he glanced at the time and realized that it was already New Year's Eve.
"We're almost there..."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xizhou packed the pile of items on the table into his bag.
