Being responsive was an essential skill for Chen Cheng as he navigated through life.
Especially for Xiao ier, he had no reason and no need to shun.
After a short separation better than a new marriage, she lay lazily in Chen Cheng’s arms, slling that familiar scent, her fingers drawing circles on his chest.
"Husband, have you missed in this almost a week we haven’t seen each other?"
"Of course, I missed you every day."
Chen Cheng kissed her forehead and gently asked, "How about you?"
"I missed you, too." She looked around the spacious room, "It feels so empty every day without you."
"It’s okay during the day, I can spend ti at the store, but when I co back ho at night, there’s no one to talk to."
Chen Cheng held her a little tighter, "You’ve had it tough. I’ll keep you company in the future."
"I know you’re bustling about for our future too," Xiao ier said slowly, "but I just can’t help but think of you."
"Think of about what?" Chen Cheng asked with a mischievous smile.
"I miss everything, it’s like I’ve lost my soul." Xiao ier hugged Chen Cheng tightly, afraid he might slip away again when she wasn’t paying attention.
"What else have you been up to during this ti, besides going to the store?" Chen Cheng asked, "I see there are more flowers in the room."
"Sister Lin ntioned a training class, and I went twice."
Xiao ier spoke excitedly, "I learned flower arranging and yoga."
She suddenly beca enthusiastic, "You know, I used to only see those wealthy ladies’ lifestyles on TV, now I’ve experienced it myself."
She said with a bashful smile, "Especially when learning flower arranging, I t a few new friends. They are all so nice, and even invited to go for beauty treatnts with them."
"You’ve made new friends?"
"Sister Lin said it’s called... what was it... social economy of the wives, which is..."
Xiao ier struggled to recall Wen Shulin’s words, "it’s like, um... expanding connections, can also help with your career."
She said sowhat uncertainly, after all, these were all too foreign to her.
"I don’t really understand, but since it’s helpful to you, I’m also willing to give it a try."
Listening to her, had it been the past, Chen Cheng would not have wanted Xiao ier to get too close to Wen Shulin or to mingle with those so-called "wives’ circles."
He was worried that the pure Xiao ier would be influenced by those complicated interpersonal relationships.
But now the situation was different, he indeed needed Xiao ier to stand by his side graciously and sensibly.
Beauty and figure, Xiao ier naturally had them, but as for the social skills, she was like an apprentice, deserving to study seriously.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng stroked Xiao ier’s head, "That’s good, it’s always good to learn more. Sister Lin has more experience in this area; you can consult her more."
Hearing Chen Cheng’s approval, Xiao ier’s eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Really? I thought you would be upset!"
"Why would I be upset? Look, we have houses, cars, and a business now. You should enjoy life and broaden your horizons."
"But so of the things they talk about, I really don’t understand."
Xiao ier said with difficulty, "They talked about the palm and lychee patterns of Hers, and also about Himalaya and Vajra, I was totally confused."
Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows as Xiao ier continued, "And when they talked about those brands, all the different models, Chanel 2.55, Dior Lady bags, LV monogram, and whatnot Gucci Dionysus bags... It made my head spin. They also said that every woman should own at least one classic handbag."
"They even talked about high-end watches, all different kinds, tourbillons, perpetual calendars..."
Xiao ier tried to recall the contents of the ladies’ conversations, "And about Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet... These watches, costing tens, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, it’s really scary!"
Chen Cheng thought that they must have talked about this topic after seeing the Daytona on Xiao ier’s wrist.
"Plus, they talked about how to win a husband’s favor."
Xiao ier went on and on, "I just learned that their stockings cost thousands, Balenciaga, Chanel, and Wolford, supposedly patronized by the Austrian Royal Family, very comfortable to wear, and can shape the buttocks."
As she spoke, she looked down at her own legs, "Husband, do you think I should also buy a few pairs?"
Chen Cheng looked at her serious face and couldn’t help but chuckle.
"No need, you look good in anything."
He paused, then added, "However, if you like, you might as well buy a few pairs to try. Being happy is what’s most important."
Xiao ier’s eyes sparkled again, "Really? Then I’ll buy a few when I go shopping with them next ti."
She thought for a mont, then asked, "They also said lingerie is very important, things like La Perla, Agent Provocateur, and custom-made Italian stuff, costing tens of thousands for a set! They said it could enhance a woman’s charm, make the husband like it more..."
Her cheeks turned slightly red as she spoke, and her voice softened.
"The set I wore for you last ti was bought from Pinduoduo, just over twenty yuan, I don’t know if you liked it or not..."
Chen Cheng felt a stir in his heart seeing her coy deanor, "My dear ier, you don’t have to care about what they say."
"With our current situation, we’re already miles ahead of them. In my eyes, you are the most beautiful."
"But..."
Chen Cheng’s tone shifted, "If you really want to try, let’s buy. We can afford it, so spend when we should, no need to save."
