Chapter 61: Remarriage
The two were practically an old married couple, but they hadn't been intimate for so long. Nan Jiao blushed and said, "Stop fooling around, I still have to work."
A hint of grievance flashed across Lu Xiao's eyes: "You only care about work, I feel so pathetic, like a discarded husband..."
Seeing his pitiful look, Nan Jiao really couldn't bear it. She put down the ledger in her hand and said in a indulgent tone, "How about I make it up to you?"
As she spoke, she gently kissed the corner of his lips and looked at him with a smile.
Lu Xiao's eyes deepened, and he lowered his head, his gaze towards her like an unfathomable whirlpool: "I want more..."
The moment their lips touched, Lu Xiao felt his heart pounding abnormally fast, and the blood in his veins seemed to boil. Whenever he was in physical contact with her, he couldn't help but want more.
He kissed her lips deeply while gazing intently into her eyes.
This time, he didn't choose to close his eyes; his focused gaze seemed to want to etch her into his DNA.
His love, his everything, his everything...
The air grew thick and hot with the intense atmosphere, accompanied by rapid breathing.
Nan Jiao was somewhat overwhelmed, but Lu Xiao, like an insatiable wolf, would occasionally coax her gently.
"It'll be ready soon..."
"I promise, this is the last time..."
But his actions and words were completely contradictory.

The following day, Nan Jiao unusually did not get up early to run the restaurant as usual.
At lunchtime, Lu Xiao kept helping Nan Jiao put food on her plate and apologizing, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I will definitely restrain myself next time."
Nan Jiao glanced at him, still feeling some soreness in her lower back: "What if you have another attack?"
"Isn't this...just human nature?"
Clearly, he still doesn't think he's done anything wrong.
Nan Jiao immediately turned her head away and ignored him.
After all, she didn't have as much energy as Lu Xiao; if she kept going like this, she would be completely drained.
There are many things to do in the future, and I can't just waste my time like this every day.
Seeing that she turned her head away and ignored him, Lu Xiao knew that she was really angry.
"Okay, I really know I was wrong. If I do it again, I'll... I'll..."
Looking into Nan Jiao's beautiful, glass-like eyes, he suddenly found himself speechless.
"If you do it again, you'll be sleeping on the floor," Nan Jiao added for him.
Hearing this, Lu Xiao actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, I only had to sleep on the floor instead of being kicked out. As long as I'm in the same space as her, anything is fine, even sleeping on the floor gives me a chance...
"what's on your mind?"
Nan Jiao's suspicious voice rang out.
Lu Xiao curled his lips and piled more food onto Nan Jiao's plate: "The branch is almost settled now. I've found a few management talents for you. Do you want to go and screen them later?"
"Leave this kind of thing to them. I really don't want to see you so tired every day."
Nan Jiao paused for a moment: "I once thought about hiring more people, but I don't want to be a hands-off manager. I think it's very interesting, like running a mini-game, and it's very fulfilling."
“Indeed…” Lu Xiao stared at her blankly for a few seconds.
He could tell that Nan Jiao really loved her current job. When she was engrossed in it, she shone like a star, unlike anyone he had ever seen before.
"But thank you for your trouble, honey. I will go and check on it. If I can spend more time with you and Yan Yan, that would be the best."
Lu Xiao grasped Nan Jiao's hand, his voice trembling with barely suppressed joy: "What did you call me...?"
"You called me husband... You haven't called me that in so long, I'm so happy..."
Nan Jiao promised him, "Let's remarry after we're done with these few days."
Lu Xiao's eyes widened, clearly excited beyond belief, but then a hint of worry flashed across them.
He's been trying his best to erase Nan Jiao's traces so his rivals won't find out, but if they remarry, she'll log into the system, and he probably won't be able to hide it from them anymore...
However, once they find out, even if they go crazy and jump around, it won't help. They will all have to admit who her first wife is and who her true love is.
Looking at his worried expression, Nan Jiao asked in confusion, "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Xiao shook his head, and to avoid her overthinking, he smiled and pressed his forehead against hers: "I'm just so happy... Thank you, my wife, for giving me another chance. The remarriage rate in interstellar society is so low, it seems I'm a really lucky one..."
"You know that much." Under Lu Xiao's doting care, Nan Jiao was like a smug cat with its tail held high.
Looking at her charming appearance, Lu Xiao's eyes deepened, and his breath sprayed on her face.
Nan Jiao understood that he wanted to indulge in sensual pleasures again.
"Lu Xiao, you..."
The next second, she was lifted up.
A languid voice, tinged with laughter, rang in her ear:
"Let's celebrate our upcoming remarriage."
"This is understandable and not excessive."
"land……"
He swallowed Nan Jiao's exclamation.

On the eve of their remarriage, Nan Jiao unexpectedly saw news related to Feng Ran on a news feed.
The above text states that she died unexpectedly on her way back to the First Star. The cause of death was said to be cardiac arrest. There were no signs of external injury, and she died quietly without any warning. Her death was truly sudden.
However, a guard said that after Feng Ran died, the spaceship was swept by a strange wind, and the scene looked like a scene from a mythological drama.
The Queen was deeply grieved and ordered her men to carry the body back to the First Star, granting special permission for a grand burial at the Royal Mausoleum.
Nan Jiao calmly read through the news. She had a vague idea of Feng Ran's identity, combined with the abrupt way she left.
Time travel.
The word suddenly popped into her mind.
Perhaps it was from Feng Ran that she sensed something similar to herself.
Perhaps Feng Ran has returned to her own world.
Of course, these are just Nan Jiao's own guesses. As for what actually happened, it is no longer important. The matter related to Feng Ran has come to a complete end.
From now on, I will live a good life with the person I love.
"Mom..." a groggy voice came, and Yan Yan walked over, still sleepy-eyed and wearing pajamas.
Nan Jiao quickly hugged him and asked, "What's wrong, Yan Yan? Why aren't you asleep yet? Didn't Daddy tell you a story to put you to bed?"
Yan Yan shook her head, her little face looking troubled: "Dad said a few words and then left, saying he needed to choose the clothes and perfume to wear to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow."
Nan Jiao shook her head and chuckled: "Seriously, I'm impressed by him."
Holding Yan Yan's hand, she walked towards his room: "It's okay, Yan Yan, Mom will tell you."
What story would you like to hear today?
"The little rabbit and the witch! Did the witch really eat the little rabbit?"
