Looking at his wife, who is as beautiful as an angel, he felt no motivation to work. In his past life, she was his greatest love, and he never stopped loving her. But in this life, his greatest love has changed, and he is now willing to give up on her.
I used to not understand why the emperor would stop holding court, thinking those were just sarcastic lines of poetry. But now I find myself longing for it, wanting to go find her and be with her.
He picked up his pen and wrote down his longing on the paper. They kept all their letters, hoping that when they were old and frail, they could take them out and see his wife's incredulous expression.
After writing the letter, Zhang Hongmei fell asleep. She had no idea when Wang Xinyi and the others returned.
When I wake up, I read and study; when I'm tired, I go back to sleep.
Zhao Tiancheng and the others arrived home at 11 p.m. They were all exhausted. After a quick wash, they sat down in the living room.
"Dad, I wish you and Mom a wonderful wedding night."
Wang Xinyi was drinking tea when she heard Zhao Haozheng's words and choked, coughing incessantly.
Zhao Tiancheng smiled and winked at his son, Zhao Hao, who then left with a cheerful smile.
"Xinyi, don't get excited. Let's go and rest."
"Brother Zhao, isn't that too fast?"
"Hehe, how could it be fast? We're husband and wife now." After saying that, Zhao Tiancheng picked up Wang Xinyi and carried her into her room, because his own place was too simple.
...
Afterwards, Zhao Tiancheng still held Wang Xinyi tightly, kissed her forehead, and looked at his wife's pale face, filled with a man's pride.
"Xinyi, my darling." After saying that, he pressed Wang Xinyi down on his body again.
"You're all set. Take care of yourself."
"Hehe, is my wife doubting my abilities?"
"No, let's go to sleep. We have to get our marriage certificate tomorrow morning, and I don't want to be unable to get up." Wang Xinyi said, then tried to sit up, but failed twice.
Zhao Tiancheng leaned against the headboard, chuckling as he looked at his wife.
Seeing that she had finally managed to sit up, revealing her smooth, delicate, and beautifully shaped back, he hugged her tightly again.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell and want to take a bath? Lie down and wait for me. I'll go get some water and come back to serve you."
Zhao Tiancheng put on his clothes, tucked the blanket around Wang Xinyi, touched her bloodless lips, and floated lightly towards the bathroom.
"Brother Zhao, wait a minute. I don't need you to serve me. I'll do it myself. You should go back to your room and wash up."
Seeing Wang Xinyi's resolute attitude and her pretty face that was both shy and angry, Zhao Tiancheng felt he couldn't go too far. He decided to give in to her wishes.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll go back to my room to wash up right away."
As Zhao Tiancheng stood under the showerhead, the hot water washing over his body, he felt incredibly satisfied. It was truly unbelievable that he hadn't found a wife who was still virgin at this age.
I was afraid of hurting her, so I didn't ask about her past. I didn't expect that my negligence would cause her harm. Thinking of this, I quickened my pace.
When Zhao Tiancheng returned, he saw that Wang Xinyi had not yet come out.
"Xinyi, are you alright? Do you need my help?"
"It won't be over right away." Even though she said that, the sound of water didn't stop.
Zhao Tiancheng smiled; she was embarrassed to come out. Knowing that Wang Xinyi was a very clean person, he still made the bed clean so that she could rest directly after she came out, which would make her feel much better.
I pulled back the covers and saw the conspicuous marks on the sheets, and that smug feeling welled up again. I pulled the sheets down and saw there were also marks on the mattress, so I simply rolled them up, carried them back to my room, and brought my own set over to make the bed.
But Wang Xinyi still didn't come out. "Xinyi, if you don't come out, I'm going in."
The moment he finished speaking, the bathroom door opened, and Zhao Tiancheng was once again stunned by her beauty. "A lotus emerging from the water" perfectly described his wife. He quickly reached her side, took her hand, and said, "Wife, let's go to sleep."
Zhao Tiancheng's words terrified Wang Xinyi, who stared at him in horror.
"My dear wife, what are you thinking? If you need it, I will grant your wish."
Wang Xinyi shook off Zhao Tiancheng's hand. She glanced at the bed sheet but said nothing, instead lying down and pulling the covers over herself.
Zhao Tiancheng also got into bed, snuggled under the covers, and sighed contentedly while holding his wife. "Sleep now," he said, patting Wang Xinyi's arm like he was coaxing a child to sleep.
Wang Xinyi was truly exhausted and in pain. She soon fell into a deep sleep. Zhao Tiancheng, however, watched intently as his beautiful wife nestled in his arms, the bedside lamp casting his gaze upon her. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
The next morning, Zhang Hongmei practiced Tai Chi in the yard by herself. Wang Xinyi was still asleep; she decided to prepare breakfast herself.
Rice porridge, boiled eggs, pickled red vegetables, and a glass of milk for each person—that was about it. Having decided what to cook, I entered the kitchen when Zeng Zhongkang, who had gone out for a run, followed me.
What can I do?
"Then you go wash up now, and you'll watch the pot while I wash up."
“Okay.” Zeng Zhongkang returned to his room.
Zhang Hongmei had everything prepared; pickled vegetables and milk were on the table. Eggs and porridge were also being cooked.
Zeng Zhongkang was very fast, finishing in a quarter of an hour. "Go wash up, I can do all of this. When should I finish cooking the eggs?"
"It will be ready in five minutes."
When Zhang Hongmei came downstairs, Cheng Guangxu and Cai Peilin were helping to set the table. Going into the kitchen, they saw the eggs were already poaching in cold water, and the porridge had been turned off.
“Hongmei, why don’t you continue telling us the story? There’s no rush to eat.”
The other two agreed, so the four of them sat in the living room and started studying.
Wang Xinyi was actually already awake; her biological clock had been set over the years, but Zhao Tiancheng wouldn't let go. This infuriated the lady, who punched him twice, but he still smiled at her.
"Get up, I still need to make breakfast."
Zhao Tiancheng hugged his wife, burying his head in the crook of her neck. "Wife, let's hire a cook. I don't want you to get too tired."
"No, I'm fine on my own. Cooking is my hobby. Besides, I'm here to take care of Hongmei."
"Hehe, then let's hire a helper to come and clean every day. The lady who has been cleaning for us is very good. She works efficiently and is very clean. Most importantly, she is Chinese, just like us."
"Really, there's no need. You're either in school or working. I'm too bored by myself. It's good to have something to do."
