Xie Wang hugged him: "Yes, I carefully selected two names for it as options. You choose one?"
Ling Shuangjiang smiled indulgently: "Tell me about it."
"Xie Ailing".
"Ling Ai Xie".
"You pick one."
Ling Shuangjiang was both amused and exasperated: "This is the name we carefully chose?"
Xie Wang nodded seriously: "Yes."
How many days have we been together?
"It's been five days."
Ling Shuangjiang rubbed the puppy's chubby face: "Let's call him Xiao Wu, okay?"
"Of course." Xie Wang picked up Ling Shuangjiang and carried her to the bed: "From today onwards, we are a family of three."
Ling Shuangjiang chuckled at his words: "Mm."
The air conditioning in the room was very hot, and the air was a bit dry. Xie Wang pursed his dry lips and quietly moved closer to Ling Shuangjiang.
Ling Shuangjiang reacted quickly, using the little golden retriever's paw to shield herself: "My cold isn't better yet."
Xie Wang was a little anxious and said in a muffled voice, "I haven't kissed you for 98 hours, 35 minutes and 54 seconds. I'm not afraid of getting infected."
Ling Shuangjiang explained to him, "I think I have the flu, and it's quite serious. You can kiss my cheek."
Xie Wang's eyes were dark and bright. He leaned close to Ling Shuangjiang's ear, and his warm breath tickled her.
Can I kiss your neck?
Kissing the neck seems to be more erotic than kissing the face.
Ling Shuangjiang lowered her eyes and said, "Mm."
Xie Wang put the little golden retriever on the ground, then lay down on the sofa, letting Ling Shuang seduce him, kissing his neck, ears, and face inch by inch.
The indoor temperature was already high in winter, and Ling Shuangjiang felt hot all over and her heart was in turmoil from his kiss.
He was panting, nestled against Xie Wang's chest, his eyes glistening with a misty moisture.
"I'm letting you kiss me, not lick me."
Xie Wang was startled, and in a moment of loss of control, he kissed the most vulnerable part of Ling Shuangjiang's neck hard, leaving a light pink mark.
A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but he remained calm and pretended not to notice.
They kissed him a few more times, trying to cover up their crime.
night.
After taking a shower, Ling Shuangjiang noticed the red mark. She refused his request to stay overnight without expression, threw him out of the guest room, and left only the little golden retriever.
Xie Wang wasn't annoyed. He whispered to his dog son, "Take good care of your little dad. I'll make do on the floor tonight."
A laughing voice came: "If you don't sleep on the floor, you're a dog."
Xie Wang coughed twice and left obediently.

The next morning, Ling Shuangjiang was picked up by Li Man to rush to her work engagements. There wasn't enough time, so she could only eat breakfast in the nanny van.
Li Man told him that the press conference yesterday was very well received. Although Chen Xingxi's side released a lot of press releases that were overly praising him, netizens did not buy it and were still very much looking forward to his role as the male lead.
Ling Shuangjiang took a bite of her bread and nodded gently.
Li Man, with her sharp eyes, noticed the red mark on his neck and teased, "Did you explain it to President Xie yesterday?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Yes, he's not angry."
Li Man said, "I told you, President Xie dotes on you so much. By the way, I remember it's your birthday tomorrow, but we have to start filming. Will President Xie come with you?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "He said he'd celebrate with me early today."
Li Man nodded: "Okay, we probably won't have time tomorrow either."
Today's announcement was about filming a winter advertising campaign for Hengtai Home Furnishings. Coincidentally, Ling Shuangjiang ran into Xie Lin.
Xie Lin is essentially the brand's president, and he's personally involved in today's product selection and promotion meeting, so he's here too.
Outside the photography studio, Xie Lin made him a cup of coffee. "My brother's gone to Suzhou for a few days. How are you two doing? Are you together?"
Ling Shuangjiang held up the paper cup and said, "Mmm."
Xie Lin started complaining: "My brother will do anything to be with you. He even thought of changing my name, and almost dragged me to the police station."
Ling Shuangjiang chuckled: "That's because you didn't switch back with him."
"Tch." Xie Lin looked up at the window. "My older brother has always been better than me since we were little, like a second father to me. This time I finally got him to beg me, so I'll just have to put him down."
Ling Shuangjiang asked, "Does your grandfather know about these things?"
"Before my elder brother went to Suzhou to find you, he told Grandpa. He even said he would bring you home after Grandpa's birthday banquet." Xie Lin patted his shoulder: "Sister-in-law, I'm counting on you to take care of me from now on. Please whisper sweet nothings in my ear and strengthen the bond between us brothers."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled faintly: "Okay."
The advertisement shoot went smoothly. While having lunch, Ling Shuangjiang received a call from Xie Wang, who said he would take her to see her birthday present.
Li Man asked enviously, "Wasn't the golden retriever your birthday present? There's more?"
A sweet smile appeared on Ling Shuangjiang's lips: "I guess so."
Following the address provided by Xie Wang, Li Man personally drove him there. The security guards outside seemed to have been informed beforehand and let them through immediately.
Looking out the car window, Li Man said strangely, "This doesn't seem like a place to celebrate a birthday party at all."
Ling Shuangjiang was also puzzled until she saw the hospital sign on the directional sign.
When he arrived at the door, Xie Wang was already waiting for him there.
As soon as Ling Shuangjiang and Li Man got out of the car, several medical staff members pushing wheelchairs rushed over.
Xie Wang picked up Ling Shuangjiang and placed her in the wheelchair.
Li Man was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"Since your cold has lasted for a long time, I plan to give you this gift – a comprehensive immune system health check. It will create a personalized immune system boosting plan for you, making your physical condition several times stronger within a year."
"To make you less resistant to coming to the hospital, I specially decorated this place like a birthday party so you can relax a bit."
Xie Wang gestured with his chin toward the others: "Take them away."
Ling Shuangjiang was pushed into the hospital in a wheelchair, her face expressionless.
Li Man was dumbfounded: "Mr. Xie, can I go in and see some of the birthday party-themed hospitals?"
Xie Wang: "Hmm."
The wheelchair was pushed into the hospital, and sure enough, the familiar smell of disinfectant was mostly gone. In its place were all sorts of pink and gold balloons and various kinds of flowers, arranged very beautifully, like a grand banquet.
Li Man thought to herself, "This is too exaggerated."
Ling Shuangjiang gently touched her forehead with her right hand, looked up and asked the doctor, "Will what we're doing affect other patients?"
The doctor smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. This is Mr. Xie's private medical examination center, which serves his family exclusively."
Ling Shuangjiang said with relief, "That's good."
The wheelchair was pushed into the examination room, where a giant fondant cake was placed in the center.
Xie Wang picked up Ling Shuangjiang and placed him on the light blue hospital bed, holding his wrist with a voice full of tenderness.
"Ah Jiang, don't be afraid."
Ling Shuangjiang didn't speak, lying on the bed as if she wanted to cover her face.
Seeing Ling Shuangjiang like this, Xie Wang felt even more sorry for her.
Sure enough, his little frost was terrified of the hospital.
I'm not in the mood to talk to him anymore.
Fortunately, Xie Wang had his dog son with him and was holding Xiao Wu. He said to Ling Shuangjiang, "Don't be afraid, we will always be by your side."
The doctor was trying not to laugh, feeling like he was in an obstetrics and gynecology ward.
Noticing the meaningful smiles of the medical staff, Ling Shuang felt utterly hopeless and quickly covered her eyes with the blanket, not wanting to see Xie Wang.
Li Man complained to her boyfriend, saying she couldn't believe such an amazing thing could happen in the world.
Ten vials of blood were drawn and sent to the testing room by the doctor. Ling Shuangjiang was then carried off the bed by Xie Wang.
"Shall we go eat cake on Frost's Descent?"
Ling Shuangjiang said calmly, "Thank you, Wang."
"What's wrong?"
Ling Shuangjiang's voice was weak: "I feel like throwing up."
Xie Wang hurriedly cried out, "Doctor, he's fainted from needles!"
After much trouble, at Ling Shuangjiang's pleading, Xie Wang took him away from the hospital.
The workers responsible for landscaping saw Xie Wang carrying Ling Shuangjiang from her wheelchair into the car and asked the nurse curiously, "She's wrapped up so tightly, did she have some major surgery?"
The nurse whispered, "They drew ten vials of blood."
Worker:"……"
Back home, Ling Shuangjiang lay down on the bed to rest.
Xie Wang held his dog son, looking remorseful.
"I didn't know he was afraid of needles; I should have asked him beforehand."
Li Man said, "Don't worry, the doctor said that it's okay after the Frost's Descent."
Xie Wang lowered his head and said, "You go back first. I'll take care of him tonight and celebrate his birthday at midnight with him."
Li Man nodded and left.
Ling Shuangjiang slept until late at night.
