Su Yanxi poked Bie Yunzong's forehead, then, with a mixture of helplessness and doting affection, planted a kiss on the face of the adorable Alaskan Malamute.
Are you satisfied?
"Why are you being so perfunctory?" Bie Yunzong was naturally dissatisfied, pouting at his wife, "Give me a kiss!"
Unable to resist the persistent kiss, Su Yanxi had no choice but to give Bie Yunzong another kiss on the lips, then blushed and pushed the stinky dog away.
"Alright, alright, that's all—look at you!" Su Yanxi wiped her mouth and directed the stinky dog to the entrance, "Change your shoes and go eat."
The big dog, having successfully received a kiss from its owner, wagged its tail happily and obediently got ready to go out.
Bie Yunzong's arrival in Guangcheng was perfectly timed, coinciding with Su Yanxi's two-day holiday. With no plans in mind, Su Yanxi simply stayed in her room, spending a day alone with her nemesis husband.
Well, dogs are truly a comforting creature. Even though she had spent the whole day doing nothing, Su Yanxi felt incredibly fulfilled and sweet when her big, smelly dog cuddled and cuddled in her arms.
After showering at night, Su Yanxi, whose mental energy was at its peak, was in a great mood as he did his facial at the vanity. After applying face cream and lotion, he even opened a brand new, unopened box of perfume.
Chapter 82
He sprayed perfume all over himself as if it were raining down, wanting every crevice of his skin to be covered in fragrance.
After spraying the perfume, he closed the cap and sat quietly in front of the dressing table, waiting for the fragrance to evaporate and change its scent. During this long process, he looked at himself in the mirror while pondering Qi Xiang'an's matter.
"...Why can't we find any information about his past? Does he have such powerful connections?"
Su Yanxi muttered to herself, still unable to figure out the matter.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. No matter how powerful Qi Xiang'an's backing is, can it be more powerful than other families?
If he truly had such power to control everything, Qi Xiang'an shouldn't be targeting him like this. But why can't even his brother and sister-in-law find any information about him?
The sound of the bathroom door opening pulled Su Yanxi back to reality. She turned to see Bie Yunzong emerging from the steamy bathroom, wiping a towel in his hand, letting out a long sigh.
"Ah, a bath feels so good!"
Su Yanxi looked away and snorted, "Take a bath in such hot water on such a hot day, aren't you afraid of getting burned?"
Su Yanxi secretly sniffed his wrist to confirm the scent of his perfume. It hadn't evaporated enough; the fragrance was still in the top notes, giving it a slightly pungent smell. But that was fine; it suited him perfectly.
Bie Yunzong dried his wet hair with a large towel and walked towards his wife's location: "It's all because Guangcheng is so hot and humid. I feel like I'm covered in sweat and can't get it out. Taking a shower to warm up will help—"
When he was still two or three steps away from his wife, Bie Yunzong suddenly smelled the perfume on her!
So strong, so fragrant, so tempting!
For dogs, smell is an extremely important sensory system, helping them make reasonable and correct judgments in crucial moments. Therefore, the way Don't accept your wife's subtle hints is often through her sense of smell.
The most common example is the scented candle that my wife always lights before we eat meat. She absolutely adores the crackling sound of it burning! Every time that fragrance appears, it means he's in for a delicious meal tonight!
It seems like she uses perfume as a hint or signal for action less often? But she's not home right now, and it seems like my wife doesn't have any scented candles to burn, so let's not round it up and assume that my wife wearing perfume is the same as her using scented candles in the past!
After all, who in their right mind would spray perfume after taking a bath?
What is this if not an implication!
"Wife." Bie Yunzong swallowed hard, then reached out and hugged Su Yanxi from behind. "Tonight, shall we...?"
"Huh?" Su Yanxi turned around in confusion and pried her husband's hand away. "What's wrong tonight? Didn't you say you wanted me to go to the movies with you tonight?"
"Have you chosen a movie yet? Just so you know, I'm not going to watch supernatural or horror movies with you."
Su Yanxi was a master at playing dumb! After speaking as if he didn't understand, he thoughtfully pulled up the large towel draped over Bie Yunzong's shoulders and began to dry the half-dry dog's fur.
"You washed your hair and you're not going to dry it right away? Don't think that you won't catch a cold just because it's hot and humid. If the air conditioner blows cold air, you'll still catch a cold."
He didn't wipe it carefully; he was just going through the motions. The implication was far more enticing than a nagging reminder.
Bie Yunzong was anxious and impatient, like a poor dog with a head full of crispy, tender, and juicy meat, but undergoing a refusal-to-eat training: "Honey, stop teasing me! I haven't eaten meat for over a week, please have some mercy and give me some?"
After seven years together, Don't let yourself know your wife's personality too well! Besides being a master at playing dumb, she's also an expert at keeping people in suspense and testing their patience!
At times like these, Bie Yunzong was both angry and helpless. He was angry at himself for being so spineless, having slept with his wife so many times, yet still longing for this one bite of meat; and to make matters worse, he couldn't even get a single meal!
It's all my wife's fault for being too restrained; he still hasn't achieved the freedom to eat meat!
What a pathetic guy! He doesn't act like a married man at all! He sees so many couples who seem to have a good relationship, but after marriage they're all partying every night, either living a life of debauchery or living a life of excess!
But what can I do is—my wife is just so wonderful, sob sob.
This is Su Yanxi! She's his goddess of beauty, his beloved in this life and the next. How could he bear to be angry with his precious wife when Su Yanxi is so outstanding and beautiful?
Don't get angry, just indulge him and go along with him!
Su Yanxi didn't reply, but just kept looking at Bie Yunzong, gazing at him with fascination as she beckoned her beloved husband closer.
Bie Yunzong obediently moved closer, but before he could kneel down on one knee, Su Yanxi, who was sitting down, wrapped her arms around his waist. Between his surprise and delight, the beauty gently rested her head on his firm abs.
"Let's talk about it later. Right now... I just want to hold you quietly."
A simple sentence, yet it stirred up a storm in Bie Yunzong's heart. Bie Yunzong let out a sigh, thinking, "So my wife wasn't teasing me after all. She just—"
He just wanted to hug me quietly!
Waaah, wife, wife!
"Okay, let's hug." Bie Yunzong put away his usual frivolous attitude, gently brushed Su Yanxi's soft bangs aside, and said softly, "It's been a long time since we've hugged quietly like this."
He loosened his grip on Su Yanxi's hand slightly, allowing her some room to move. Encircled by the beauty's arms, Bie Yunzong slowly knelt on one knee, looking up at his beloved wife from a lower, more horizontal angle.
"This is more comfortable." Bie Yunzong wrapped his arm around Su Yanxi's waist and chuckled, "Why don't you lean on my shoulder?"
Su Yanxi nodded, then hugged Bie Yunzong's neck and leaned against his shoulder.
The two embraced for two or three minutes.
In those two or three minutes, the world was quiet and still, the lover in their arms was warm and soft, and both of them were filled with sweetness.
Chapter 83
But after three minutes, Bie Yunzong started to get impatient. He thought to himself, "How much longer am I going to hug her? When did my sweet wife become so innocent? I can be innocent for a little while longer, but my little brother is about to give in and start to get erect!"
Little brother—!
Fortunately, Su Yanxi and he had a tacit understanding. One second he felt annoyed, and the next second his wife let go of him.
"Alright."
Contrary to Bie Yunzong's expectations, what followed was not his wife blushing and continuing their sweet moments, but rather Su Yanxi brushing aside her flattened bangs and coldly withdrawing her hands.
Incidentally, they also took the large towel he was draped over his shoulders.
"The experiment is over, go play now."
Author's Note:
Dog: ? ?! Is it okay to play with my own husband like this? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Su Su: Yes.
#38 Name: Yanxi Yanxi, Yanxi is you
Five seconds later, a loud wail erupted from Su Yanxi's room.
"Wife, you're teasing me!" Bie Yunzong wailed without crying, throwing a tantrum on the double bed, "Wife, you're bullying me! I'm going to complain to Mom!"
Su Yanxi was both amused and exasperated, and just sat there watching Bie Yunzong roll around: "What time is it? It's almost ten o'clock. Whether it's your mother or my mother, they should be washing up and going to bed by now. Who can you complain to?"
"Then, then I—!" Bie Yunzong was speechless for a moment, then continued rolling around, "I'll go find my brother!"
"Do you think your older brother will even acknowledge you?" Su Yanxi scoffed, picking up a large towel on her own. "Whether it's your older brother or your brother and sister-in-law, they'll only side with me, not with you."
Suddenly feeling a sense of desolation, the Second Young Master buried his face in the quilt and sniffed, "It's all over, it's all over, I'm now completely disregarding my own family?"
Su Yanxi ignored the big, silly dog's mutterings and imagined the large towel in her hand as a coat, sniffing it here and there.
Sure enough, the perfume wasn't strong. He hugged Bie Yunzong for two or three minutes, and only a tiny bit got on him. The unfamiliar perfume that used to be on Bie Yunzong's coat was definitely something someone else had deliberately sprayed on him.
Bie Yunzong stopped howling, crept up behind his wife, and grabbed her beautiful shoulder.
"Wife." He put on a fierce expression, unusually baring his fangs at Su Yanxi, "If you ignore me, then I'm going to—get serious!"
Su Yanxi raised an eyebrow, about to ask "What do you mean by 'really'?", when Bie Yunzong suddenly picked him up and threw him onto the bed.
Bie Yunzong glared at his wife with sharp, wolf-like eyes: "I'm going to reclaim my husbandly authority. Wife, you'd better be more cooperative!"
Su Yanxi wanted to play along, but the moment he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You've really learned to climb on the roof and tear off the tiles since you haven't been disciplined for three days!" Su Yanxi patted her husband's face. "You've got some nerve, talking about husbandly authority in front of me?"
Su Yanxi smiled, and the atmosphere instantly vanished. Bie Yunzong snorted unconvinced and continued to haggle.
"I don't care." Bie Yunzong pouted. "You hurt me, you have to take responsibility for this innocent young man."
Su Yanxi was even happier by what was said, and once the corners of her mouth turned up, they wouldn't fall back down.
"Did you look in the mirror while you showered? If ten people looked at you, eleven would think you were a playboy. How shameless do you have to be to dare call yourself an 'innocent young man'?"
Su Yanxi felt uncomfortable being pressed down by the big dog, so she twisted her waist in hopes of finding some room to move around.
"Let me go first. Don't you know you're heavy?"
"No." Bie Yunzong's resolve was firm. "If I let you go, you'd definitely run away. Seven years have passed; how could I not know your cunning nature?"
"What if you promise not to run away?"
"No way!" Bie Yunzong refused to budge. "Mr. Su Yanxi, can't you be a little more sensible and stop making demands at a time like this?"
Su Yanxi ripped off the large towel he was draped over his shoulders, which was just fine, saving him the trouble!
"Alright, alright, alright, no conditions." Su Yanxi pinched Bie Yunzong's nose and tilted the bedside table. "Go light the aromatherapy."
"No—" Bie Yunzong was about to say no again, but thankfully he stopped abruptly. "Oh, that's fine. By the way, does the hotel have aromatherapy?"
"It's on the first shelf of the bedside table. Xiao Hai bought it and delivered it this evening."
Bie Yunzong was deeply moved. While looking for matches to light the candle, he praised his wife: "As expected, my wife still loves me. She prepared the aromatherapy candle long ago, waiting for me to light it."
"Honey, to repay you, I'll definitely put in my best effort later!"
"You pervert, what are you thinking?" Su Yanxi kicked Bie Yunzong. "That's calming incense—it helps you sleep, not what you're thinking!"
"Who cares?" After lighting the aromatherapy candles, Bie Yunzong returned to bed, pressed his wife down, and kissed her. "One type of incense, multiple uses, isn't that great?"
His wife's lips were sweet, like they were coated in honey. He licked his lips, looking down at her with anticipation.
