The thought of his wife's face turning red and hot after soaking in the hot spring water, and the shy expression that might appear on her pretty face, made Bie Yunzong's blood boil with excitement. He wished he could take his wife and stay in the hot spring pool forever.
Before enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot springs and some time alone together, Bie Yunzong needs to resolve the issue of being followed first.
Although his beautiful wife constantly criticizes him for "lacking ambition" and "lacking business acumen," when faced with such situations, his first thought is still about business rivalries—rather than his wife's complicated entanglements in the entertainment industry.
Compared to the extreme tactics of rivalries in the business world, the backstabbing and intrigue within the entertainment industry are relatively minor. For money and profit, ruthless "businessmen" will stop at nothing; don't be afraid of anything except the possibility that business battles will affect your wife.
He didn't tell his wife about his discovery today, but instead used his free time to report the news to his grumpy old man.
He slumped onto the soft sofa in the living room, expressionless, holding up his phone and typing furiously, sending WeChat messages to his older brother.
While Bie Yunzong was focused on his business, Su Yanxi called out to him through the half-open bedroom door.
"Honey, how do we fill the hot spring pool on the balcony? Could you come and take a look?"
Su Yanxi stood barefoot on the carpet, wrapped in a white hotel bath towel, and deliberately called out in a high-pitched voice.
Actually, he knew how to play the game, but he only used this trick to lure his husband, who had been daydreaming the whole time.
He was puzzled. Before the date, Bie Yunzong seemed so eager and excited, but on the actual day, he became absent-minded.
Chapter 159
After arriving at the hotel, she kept playing on her phone. Could she be flirting with some handsome junior from junior school?
That's just Su Yanxi's personality. When she encounters something she can't understand, she can't help but think about the direction she fears and resists the most.
But that wretched guy didn't snap out of it after hearing his call! He neither put down his phone immediately nor got up to respond.
The rascal maintained his nonchalant posture and lazily replied, "Oh... I'll be there in a bit."
Su Yanxi got angry, clenching her fists while softening her tone further and continuing to seduce him: "Honey, hurry up, I'm not wearing any clothes—I'm going to freeze to death!"
The bold, three-word phrase "naked" instantly shattered all of Bie Yunzong's thoughts. Bie Yunzong, who had been seriously conversing with his grumpy-faced friend, suddenly went into a state of mental blankness and paralysis!
Wife...wife...
What did my wife just say?
He wasn't wearing any clothes—?
"husband……?"
Bie Yunzong's "calm and unresponsive" attitude made Su Yanxi very uneasy. He weakly called out again, making one last attempt.
"Honey, are you listening?"
No way, no way? Has Bie Yunzong stopped buying into this anymore?
This tactic, which should have always worked, has somehow failed and become useless?
In less than ten seconds, Su Yanxi reviewed and reflected on her seven-year love story with Bie Yunzong from beginning to end, and finally came to the conclusion that he had lost his charm.
—He no longer holds any appeal for Bie Yunzong!?
What a terrible, horrifying fact! Just thinking about it made Su Yanxi's scalp tingle! Seeing that the current situation wasn't too awkward, Su Yanxi hurriedly tried to close the bedroom door to salvage the situation.
"If you're busy right now, even if—"
Before he could finish speaking, the half-closed bedroom door was violently pushed open by Bie Yunzong.
"Where?" The usually well-behaved dog suddenly transformed into a hungry wolf, staring eagerly at its beautiful owner, waiting for its meal. "Where's my naked wife?"
The hungry wolf looked closely and saw that Su Yanxi was not naked, but wrapped in a bath towel, and howled in great disappointment.
"Wife, why are you lying again? You're not wearing clothes, that's not how it looks! You should be completely naked!"
The hungry wolf howled and began to attack!
"Hurry up and take it off! Wife, your beautiful body shouldn't be wrapped in a hotel towel. This kind of thing is really unworthy of you!" Bie Yunzong pulled at the towel off Su Yanxi, unconsciously licking his lips and grinning mischievously. "Wife, you should be wrapped up by me~"
"Go away!" Su Yanxi held the towel tightly and slapped away Bie Yunzong's restless groping hands. "Don't talk to me like that, you haven't washed or cleaned!"
I can't believe this scoundrel's nonsense! He actually thinks his seduction failed and that Bie Yunzong is no longer falling for that kind of thing?
It's all an illusion! It's all an illusion created by a cunning wolf to hunt!
"Go fill the hot spring with water first, then go take a bath!" Su Yanxi wrapped herself tightly in a bath towel, turned her face away haughtily, and commanded.
Bie Yunzong completely forgot about serious matters, and after taking advantage of his wife as if asking for a beating, he ran away to fill the hot spring pool.
Su Yanxi glared angrily at the tall figure that flew away and cursed, "Pervert!"
He was cursing, but he was actually relieved.
Su Yanxi wrapped herself in a bath towel, put on a coat, and dried her hair first. The hair she cut when the second phase of filming started had now grown past her ears and was almost long enough to be tied into a small bun at the back of her head.
He already had an androgynous appearance, and his medium-length hair added to his androgynous beauty. As he casually fiddled with his half-dry, black hair, Bie Yunzong happened to finish showering and came out of the bathroom.
Looking at his wife, with her red lips and white teeth, whose every casual glance was breathtakingly beautiful, Bie Yunzong's interest reached its peak, and he couldn't wait to go down into the pool with his wife to get intimate!
"Wife, wife, I'm ready!" Bie Yunzong pulled his wife up and hurried towards the hot spring pool. "The water's almost ready! Hurry, let's get in while it's hot!"
Su Yanxi did not resist. She casually threw off her coat and let her husband pull her to the hot spring pool.
This family-style luxury suite has both outdoor and indoor hot spring pools. At night, the cold wind outside was too biting, and Su Yanxi, who is most afraid of the wind, couldn't stand it, so she chose to soak in the indoor hot spring.
The indoor hot spring pool is located on the floor-to-ceiling balcony of the master bedroom, separated from the bedroom by a linen curtain.
Lifting the curtain and arriving at the edge of the hot spring pool, Su Yanxi first tested the temperature with her toes, then took off her bath towel and slowly stepped into the pool, feeling the comfort of being gradually enveloped by the warm spring water.
"Is it comfortable, honey?" Bie Yunzong and Su Yanxi got into the pool at the same time. He gently splashed water on Su Yanxi's back. "Is it too hot?"
Su Yanxi shook her head: "No."
Perhaps because he was naturally thin-skinned, his perception and response to temperature were faster than Bie Yunzong's. Although the two of them went into the water at the same time, Su Yanxi's skin visibly turned red.
My wife, her body flushed red from the soaking and her face rosy from the steam, was so shy and adorable! Bie Yunzong loved seeing his wife all red and pitiful, and happily embraced her in the pool.
"Wife, you've gotten so red." Bie Yunzong touched his wife's shoulder, as if taking advantage of her or giving her a massage. He gently rubbed Su Yanxi's back, his tone infatuated, "You look like you've been boiled."
"Pervert." Su Yanxi, wrapped in a bath towel, leaned over the edge of the hot spring pool and whispered, letting Bie Yunzong massage her shoulders and back. "Would it be easier for you to eat me if I cooked you up?"
Bie Yunzong massaged his wife half-seriously and half-casually, chuckling, "Does that mean we'll have meat for dinner tonight?"
Chapter 160
"We're already in a place like this, I can't just not let you eat meat, can I?" Su Yanxi half-closed her eyes in enjoyment, and reached out to pat the dog's face. "Just don't go too far. I'm just here on a date and vacation with you, I don't want to lose my life here."
“Hey, what are you saying?” Bie Yunzong retorted, unconvinced. “Wife, I’m just strong and healthy with a high sex drive, I don’t actually eat people.”
"Hmm?" Su Yanxi was unconvinced. "Why do I feel like you'd love to devour me completely, leaving not even bones?"
"That's all because my wife is usually too restrained, which is why I did that!"
"If I eat it once a week, and then eat it for a week, I'll definitely take every opportunity to fleece you."
"Listen to this," Su Yanxi clicked her tongue, "You still say you don't want me to die?"
“You can try sending me meat every day.” Bie Yunzong smiled slyly. “If I eat meat every day for 365 days, I’ll definitely get tired of it! Once I’m tired of it, I’ll restrain myself and stop desperately asking you for it.”
"Pretending." Su Yanxi sneered, "That would only make me die faster."
As the hot spring water evaporated, it filled the bedroom balcony with mist. Looking at the white mist surrounding her, Su Yanxi's thoughts became hazy and dreamlike.
He recalled Bie Yunzong's absent-minded appearance during the day and felt a pang of grievance, as if he had been neglected by his husband.
Normally, he wouldn't easily voice his grievances, but tonight, soaking in the hot spring and inhaling the warm mist, his body and soul were thoroughly cleansed, and even his thoughts became unusually sensitive and delicate. He couldn't control his urge to confide, and complained softly to the spring water.
“You always act like you need me so much, but when we’re actually together, you always seem distracted.” He turned his back to Bie Yunzong and looked down at his husband’s reflection in the water. “I often can’t tell if I’m being too sensitive or if there’s really something wrong with you.”
"What do you mean by absent-minded?" Bie Yunzong was both amused and exasperated. "Do you mean... how you were on your date today?"
Su Yanxi lowered her head again: "Hmm. You knew that yourself all along?"
Bie Yunzong never expected that his unintentional act and momentary lapse of judgment would arouse such suspicion from his wife.
He admired his wife's thoughtfulness and asked her, "What do you think I'm thinking when I'm absent-minded?"
Su Yanxi frowned, turned around and glared at Bie Yunzong speechlessly: "How should I know what you're thinking? You were daydreaming on your date, do you expect me to guess what you're thinking?"
Su Yanxi added, still not satisfied.
"I just have a good temper. I noticed something was wrong but didn't tell you directly. If I were daydreaming during our date, you would probably be yelling at me, right?"
“I’d rather you argued and bickered with me.” Bie Yunzong squeezed his wife’s shoulder and turned the beautiful woman around. “Wife, I think you’re great in every way, but the fact that you don’t like to speak your mind really bothers me.”
"If you had asked me about this today, I would have told you: I was distracted because I realized we were being followed."
"Followed...stalked?" Su Yanxi looked surprised. "We were followed today?"
Having worked in the entertainment industry, Su Yanxi's counter-surveillance skills were undeniably strong. But perhaps because she was with her husband and son today, completely relaxed, she was utterly unaware that she was being followed?
“Yes.” Bie Yunzong nodded innocently. “When I was strolling around the West District, I had a strong premonition. I saw that you were in a good mood and didn’t want you to be affected by something boring, so I didn’t tell you about it.”
Su Yanxi raised her hand and splashed water all over the dog's face: "Why didn't you tell me? If you hadn't told me, wouldn't I have continued to misunderstand you?"
“I didn’t expect you to misunderstand me.” Bie Yunzong wiped his face and wrapped his arms around his wife’s slender waist in the water. “It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, I was thinking of reporting to my old brother first, and then telling him after he’s dealt with things.”
"Why?" Su Yanxi was even more puzzled. "Why would you need to tell my older brother about something so trivial?"
"Why wouldn't it be worth it? What if they're some business rivals plotting a robbery or kidnapping?"
"Why would you think of things this way?" Su Yanxi pinched the dog's face helplessly. "Who else but Song Yanqi would be following us at this critical moment?"
"Idiot! It must be paparazzi hired by Song Yanqi to follow and take pictures of us!"
Bie Yunzong was completely stunned: "Huh—?"
"Huh what?"
Su Yanxi hummed and used her wet hands to brush Bie Yunzong's bangs back, giving him a slicked-back hairstyle.
"Congratulations, you've missed an opportunity to be exposed and make headlines, and incidentally, to publicly announce your relationship with me."
Author's Note:
Su Su: Hmph, serves you right for not telling me what's going on.
Dog: No, no!
