This was a super surprise he had been keeping secret for more than three months; revealing it beforehand would have had no effect!
But his wife is so aggressive. If he can't give a convincing explanation now, he'll be constantly suspected after tonight! Just thinking about being scrutinized by his wife's wary gaze for another month, and possibly being punished by not being allowed to sleep in the bed, makes him feel so uncomfortable!
Ugh, so conflicted!
Either way, we're doomed. Maybe we should just tell them?
"I'm preparing an anniversary surprise for you!"
Bie Yunzong clenched his fists and gripped the soft cushions on the armrests of the chaise lounge.
After saying that, he relaxed his grip, feeling increasingly wronged and aggrieved.
"If it weren't for celebrating our seventh anniversary of dating and marriage, would I be working myself to death?" The aggrieved Alaskan Malamute whimpered and pouted. "Running around doing all this, hiding things, and then getting my wife suspicious when I get home. Don't I want to go home early and cuddle with my wife to sleep? Of course I do!"
Bie Yunzong's accusations caused Su Yanxi, whose mood was already at its lowest point, to briefly freeze up.
A moment of blankness appeared on his handsome face: "Huh?"
...Is that so?
"Honey, you haven't forgotten our anniversary, have you?"
The situation reversed in the blink of an eye. The big dog, which had been in a subordinate and passive position, suddenly stood up with its head held high and chest puffed out, looking aggressive.
"Honey, December 24th, Christmas Eve—our anniversary!"
Being wronged and scolded is one thing, but for a loyal dog who loves its owner, being wronged and scolded by its beautiful owner is at most a sweet trouble and a happy punishment; it's just a little episode that will pass quickly!
But being forgotten on an anniversary is not so easily forgiven!
That was our seventh anniversary of dating and our first wedding anniversary! How could my wife, who is so tactful and considerate to everyone and always handles things flawlessly, forget such an important day?
"Wife, don't you love me anymore? Don't you care about me anymore?" Bie Yunzong's face darkened. He bent down halfway, stretched out his arm and grabbed the back of the chaise lounge, trapping the beautiful Su Yanxi between his body and the chaise lounge. "Yanxi, how could you do this?"
"I...of course I haven't forgotten!"
Su Yanxi was lying arrogantly on the couch, but after being questioned by his nemesis with a dark face and threatening words, he carefully sat up and straightened his posture.
"I just... I just didn't think in that direction! That's why I showed shock and surprise at the same moment you finished speaking!"
The person who had been stammering and making excuses just moments before was Bie Yunzong, but in the blink of an eye, it was Su Yanxi. Su Yanxi felt that the scene before her was familiar, as if it had happened several times before?
It's strange. He can always maintain a composed and unhurried demeanor in front of others, but when facing Bie Yunzong, he always manages to be reversed and become the passive one. Is it because he's on the right, the one below, that he's destined to be suppressed by Bie Yunzong?
He spoke in a tough tone, trying to regain the initiative: "You... you're just talking without any proof. Why should I believe you? Someone who can't even be bothered to celebrate their own birthday and only thinks about bargaining with me for benefits would actually prepare a surprise for an anniversary?"
"I don't believe you unless you can actually come up with a surprise."
"It's November, and there are still more than 30 days until our anniversary. It's only 30 days, why is my wife in such a hurry?"
Having finally caught his wife red-handed, Bie Yunzong won't easily let it go. Pampering and spoiling his beautiful wife is his hobby, but when it really matters, relentlessly pursuing her and clinging to the initiative to seize control is his hunting instinct.
He is a dog, and yet he is not a dog. He is not a wolf, yet he is a wolf.
"Was it really shock and surprise? The subtle emotion that flashed in my wife's eyes just now was clearly 'astonishment', right?" Bie Yunzong slowly bent down, like a wolf slowly approaching its prey. "Wife, I'm someone who can't keep things to myself, and I've been 'enduring humiliation' for two months in order to give you a super surprise, but what about you? You've been ignoring me and forgetting me time and time again because you're busy with work."
Chapter 197
"Doesn't my wife think she's gone too far? Doesn't she think she should give me some kind of compensation?"
"Wait, wait, wait—"
Su Yanxi quickly called a halt.
"I didn't expect you to be preparing a surprise, and I was wrong to stubbornly believe you were cheating. But honey, I haven't showered or removed my makeup yet, and I'm all dirty after a long day."
"Even if you don't watch what you eat, it shouldn't be like this, right? Let me go take a shower and remove my makeup."
"No need for all that trouble, I don't have any dietary restrictions when it comes to you."
Bie Yun pressed forward, straddling the chaise longue with an imposing and unyielding aura, and chuckled softly as she looked up.
"Wife, let me tell you what true 'lust at first sight' really means."
That night, the archangel Gabriel, with his beautiful gray-purple wings, could not escape the wolf's invasion and plunder. Under the soft moonlight, the bewitched spring light burned him into a gray-white sea of flowers.
The flowers drifted in the night sky, eventually falling and disappearing before sunrise. However, what accompanied the sunrise of a new day was not peaceful daily life, but the public opinion that had fermented and spread wildly the previous night due to the lack of restraint.
At 11 a.m., Su Yanxi, one of the figures at the center of the controversy, finally woke up. He forced his eyes open, enduring fatigue and soreness, and as his consciousness gradually returned, he vaguely remembered: Was there something I forgot to deal with?
Before he could catch the fleeting thought of doubt, Bie Yunzong woke up after him.
The stinky dog, having eaten and drunk his fill, stretched lazily, and before even opening his eyes, he tightened his embrace around his wife, nuzzled her cheek, and greeted her, "Good morning, wife..."
"Cough cough, it's...it's getting late." Su Yanxi's voice was hoarse as she adjusted the location of her voice and answered her nemesis husband with difficulty, "Judging from the height of the sun, it must be around eleven or twelve o'clock."
His hands and feet ached and went numb, and he had no strength to break free from Bie Yunzong's embrace. Since he couldn't break free, he simply acted like a pretty doll who wouldn't resist, letting Bie Yunzong hug him and rub his face against his.
"Well, it's still early." Bie Yunzong hugged his wife tightly, unwilling to move. "Other people's day begins with the sunrise, but my day begins with the first glance I take at my wife."
"...That's so cheesy." Su Yanxi said with a hint of disgust, but her heart was filled with tenderness and affection. She stretched an arm out from under the covers and rubbed her husband's face. "Get up, you're hungry."
"I'll get up when my wife gets up." The mangy dog buried his head between the blankets and pillows again. "I like sleeping with my wife. I cherish every minute and second I spend in bed with her, so I don't want to get up on my own."
Su Yanxi rolled her eyes: "Shameless."
That's perfect, he didn't want to get up right away anyway. Yesterday, whether it was attending the grand ceremony, humiliating Song Jinlan, or dealing with Bie Yunzong, it had exhausted him too much energy and strength; on this rare day off, the self-disciplined man wanted to indulge himself a little, to stay in bed a little longer, until he was so hungry he couldn't stand it anymore before getting up.
He closed his eyes, quietly enjoying the feeling of sleeping in his husband's arms. It was ordinary, mundane, but also tender and sweet.
After waking up, he couldn't fall back asleep. His thinking ability was awakening, and many questions that he hadn't been able to ask last night because of the kisses that had stopped him from asking resurfaced one by one.
Su Yanxi stroked Bie Yunzong's ear, gently teasing the large dog who was also resting with its eyes closed: "Did you really prepare an anniversary surprise for me?"
"..." Bie Yunzong seemed somewhat speechless. Su Yanxi heard him sigh softly with his head down before answering in a muffled voice, "Really? Am I that untrustworthy that you have to ask me repeatedly?"
"No, it's just that I find it...unbelievable?"
Su Yanxi soothed Bie Yunzong's emotions with gentle gestures.
"You're not good at preparing surprises and gifts. I've known you for seven years, and I've never seen you 'personally' prepare anything."
For anniversaries, Bie Yunzong would prepare surprise gifts, but the forms and styles were very monotonous. It was either inviting people to a revolving restaurant or a candlelight dinner, or giving them a house, a car, or a bankbook.
After all, he's the young master of another family, having grown up in an environment of abundant material wealth, and is used to expressing his feelings through money and material things. But Su Yanxi is the person who values material things the least, so it's hard for her to feel the "feelings" that Bie Yunzong is trying to convey in this way.
Bie Yunzong didn't like "preparing" or "planning" anything. He was a natural womanizer and hated anything that required advance planning; whenever there was an important holiday or banquet, it was Su Yanxi who arranged the itinerary for him in advance.
Su Yanxi would occasionally joke to himself, saying, "Young Master, do you want to get married or hire a permanent secretary?"
Bie Yunzong would often reply with a grin, "I want both!"
"Isn't it good? We've known each other for seven years and I've never met her. At this crucial seven-year milestone, let my wife open her eyes and meet her!" Bie Yunzong turned over, feeling refreshed. "For my wife's sake, I've been working hard to improve and learn. I want to be as considerate as my wife in everything, so that you won't feel like you're my 'secretary' anymore."
Su Yanxi felt a warmth in his heart from his husband's words, his heart overflowing with love, and he was so satisfied he could hardly contain himself.
"Good boy." Su Yanxi cupped Bie Yunzong's face and gently kissed her husband's lips. "I'll scrub your back tonight. It's both a reward and compensation for the three months I wrongly accused you."
"Great!" Bie Yunzong was overjoyed. He happily let go of his wife, raised his hands, and cheered, "That's wonderful, honey! Let's play the CEO's secretary game tonight!"
Su Yanxi's smile vanished instantly.
"...Don't make me hit you."
The warmth in her heart vanished completely. Su Yanxi rolled her eyes and, as she tried to get up from the bed, she spotted the haute couture suit lying on the floor. Remembering this incident, Su Yanxi grabbed Bie Yunzong's bare arm.
Chapter 198
"Tsk, look what you've done! Such important clothes, and you've just left them scattered all over the floor!"
"Get up and pick up your clothes! I promised Xiao Chen and Xiao Xie that I would dry clean them and return them to them first thing tomorrow morning."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I already say I wanted to buy it?" Bie Yunzong scratched his messy hair and reluctantly got up.
Su Yanxi, whose legs were still weak, hurriedly grabbed her nemesis's clothes and pointed to the carpet not far away with her other finger: "Go get my handbag first. I haven't checked my phone since I got back last night. I wonder if Sister Tong has been trying to talk to me about something."
The Alaskan Malamute obediently retrieved its owner's handbag and then picked up the clothes from the ground one by one.
Su Yanxi calmly opened his bag and found his phone, which was low on battery but thankfully still powered on. He unlocked it with facial recognition, but before he could even swipe the lock screen, he was drawn to a push notification for entertainment news, and he paused to read it carefully.
"Video of Su Yanxi's passionate date with her sugar daddy exposed, including explicit kissing footage and a complete timeline!"
Seeing this, Su Yanxi suddenly remembered that what he had forgotten to deal with in his anger last night was the intimate photos and videos of him and Bie Yunzong.
Now that's great, the whole country has seen it.
Author's Note:
Dog: Thanks for the invitation. I was busy with important things last night and didn't check my phone. I'll go watch my wife and I's intimate kissing video now!
Su Su: ...I might as well bury myself.
#71 The gentle and caring side of dogs
"Wow--"
"Wow!"
"Whoa!!!"
"Ughhhhhh!"
"Alright, alright," Su Yanxi said, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger. She shoved Bie Yunzong's annoying mouth shut, veins bulging on her forehead. "Stop looking!"
Bie Yunzong used a little force to slap away the hand covering his mouth, then grabbed the beauty's slender wrist and pulled his beloved wife into his arms: "I want to see! Wife, come on, let's watch together~"
"Look here, look here—wow, we're such a good kisser! This video is textbook material for kissing! Whether you're single or in a relationship, you should all study this and see how this master kisses!"
"Get lost," Su Yanxi flipped Bie Yunzong's phone over so he couldn't look at it, then punched the stinky dog on the head. "You're shameless!"
Bie Yunzhong was being beaten by his wife with a righteous indignation, saying, "What's there to be ashamed of? What kind of relationship do we have? Shouldn't we kiss? We're an old married couple. When things get intimate, it's normal to give each other a kiss, hug and cuddle, and do some little things!"
Unable to argue with Bie Yunzong on a point of no return, Su Yanxi could only cover her ears, blushing as she stood up: "I'm too lazy to argue with you. If you want to look, look somewhere else, don't put it in front of me."
He understands the logic, but this was exposed to the entire nation! Leaving aside his fans and colleagues, what about his family—
Did Mom and Dad see this too? Oh my god, the feeling of being caught in such an intimate moment by her elders made Su Yanxi really want to find a hole to crawl into!
"Okay, okay, I won't look."
Bie Yunzong put his phone away for the time being, and hugged Su Yanxi in his arms again, trying to soften his tone as much as possible, to ask about his beautiful wife who was so thin-skinned.
“Now that the high-definition images and videos have been exposed, and the so-called ‘timeline of being kept’ has also been fabricated, honey, when are you going to refute and publicly declare it?” Bie Yunzong asked, half confused and half expectant. “Although it’s great to have high-definition images and videos, some people are saying really nasty things about you, and I can’t stand it.”
