"Stop it, stop it~ Haha~" Xiao ier backed away while dodging, but ultimately she was still kissed by Chen Cheng.
...
...
The car soon arrived at the entrance of Wanbao Hall; the lights inside the store were still on.
The two walked in and happened to see i Xiang sitting at the cashier counter, frowning in thought.
"i Xiang." Xiao ier called out.
i Xiang looked up, her face showing surprise, "Sister Xiao, you’re back?"
Xiao ier nodded, "You’ve worked hard today."
Before she could finish her sentence, i Xiang hastily said: "Sister Xiao, I think I made a mistake."
"Mistake?" Xiao ier didn’t understand.
"Look, no matter how I calculate, we’re short by 30 yuan." i Xiang pointed at the screen and said, "Did I miss a paynt? Or did I give too much change?"
Chen Cheng also leaned in, "If it’s short, it’s short; it’s not a big deal."
"No way! Sister Xiao entrusted to watch the store today, and I have to make sure the accounts match!" i Xiang insisted earnestly: "Even if it’s just one yuan, I have to clarify it!"
Xiao ier originally didn’t plan to investigate the missing 30 yuan, but seeing i Xiang’s serious deanor, she went along with her: "Let see, it’s probably a missed entry."
Chen Cheng, however, noticed sothing off about i Xiang.
He guessed that i Xiang was probably upset about moving out of the quadrangle courtyard.
Additionally, living under the sa roof, things weren’t easy for the two of them, and what seed like a beautiful plan was actually fraught with difficulties in practice.
Chen Cheng discreetly observed i Xiang, contemplating how to handle this situation.
He understood that i Xiang’s pride was strong, and if he directly pointed it out, it might make her feel even more embarrassed.
"i Xiang, don’t be too nervous," Chen Cheng said gently, "It’s inevitable to have so minor discrepancies in the accounts. Just take your ti to get it sorted out."
He gave Xiao ier a look.
Xiao ier quickly caught on, "Yes, i Xiang. You’re also tired today. Let’s do this: I’ll leave the account as it is for now, and when we open the store tomorrow, I’ll co and see where exactly the 30 is missing."
i Xiang was looking down, her eyes falling on Chen Cheng’s shiny shoes.
She wished she could look Chen Cheng squarely in the eye like she did in Japan.
"Um... Sister Xiao, I’m sorry."
Xiao ier saw that i Xiang was feeling down and asked with concern, "i Xiang, what’s wrong? Do you have sothing on your mind?"
i Xiang shook her head, forcing a slight smile, "No, Sister Xiao, I’m just a bit tired."
"Is it hosickness?" That was the only reason Xiao ier could think of.
This ti, i Xiang shook her head even more vigorously.
After a mont of silence, she finally looked up, "Really, it’s nothing, Sister Xiao."
Chen Cheng: "So, i Xiang."
"Hm?"
"How about I take you to see Aunt Wen." Chen Cheng said, "To chat with Li Ya?"
i Xiang blinked, looking deeply at Chen Cheng, "Right now?"
"It’s still early; let’s go sit for a while." Chen Cheng cleared his throat, "You know each other, and you’re about the sa age."
Xiao ier also urged, "Yeah, i Xiang. Go take a seat."
"Alright then." i Xiang nodded in agreent, "I’ll go change my clothes."
After i Xiang left, Chen Cheng said to Xiao ier: "You go back first. We’ll be back soon."
After finishing speaking, he snapped his fingers twice towards the door, "Xiao Hai."
Xiao ier looked towards the dressing room worriedly, "Xiao Cheng, do you think i Xiang really is hosick? She’s here all alone, without any relatives or friends."
"I’ll ask Wen Shulin to probe discreetly," said Chen Cheng.
"Okay," Xiao ier nodded, "Then I’ll head back first. Call if anything cos up."
"It’ll be fine, we’ll be back soon."
When i Xiang ca out dressed, Chen Cheng was the only one left in the store.
She adjusted her scarf, walking to Chen Cheng’s side, "I’m ready."
i Xiang looked around, "Eh? Where’s Sister Xiao?"
Her tone was noticeably more cheerful than before.
Chen Cheng didn’t dillydally and took her into his arms.
"Mmm~" i Xiang was a bit scared, "There’s a cara..."
Chen Cheng pressed against those water-brimming lips, "I turned it off before you ca out."
i Xiang’s eyes lit up, then she gently closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around Chen Cheng’s neck, and finally welcod the long-missed intimacy.
"You’re not happy, are you?" Chen Cheng asked.
i Xiang said intermittently, "I just missed you."
Chen Cheng let go of i Xiang, "If you’re unhappy, you have to tell , okay?"
i Xiang looked at him grievously, reaching out to touch that familiar face, "Husband, I want us to have a ho."
That simple sentence deeply touched Chen Cheng’s heart.
i Xiang’s feelings for him had always been pure.
And she was also the first woman who actively wanted to have his child.
Looking at those expectant eyes, Chen Cheng asked, "Shall we go buy a house tomorrow, okay?"
i Xiang shook her head, "A house is a house, a ho is a ho."
"Huh?"
i Xiang bit her lip gently, her eyes starting to redden again, "A ho needs you, , and our child to really be a ho."
Chen Cheng took a deep breath; he lifted i Xiang’s face, "We will have it."
"That day, after drinking. Before Miss ng left, she told a lot," i Xiang finally spoke up.
Chen Cheng pondered for a mont. Given ng Wanning’s personality and temperant, she would never say anything excessive to i Xiang.
"She told that she and you have your own little family." i Xiang’s chin trembled, seeming like she was about to cry, "I am so envious of her."
Chen Cheng took her hand, "I understand, it’s my lack of thorough consideration."
"i Xiang, believe , I’ll keep my word." He paused, "I shouldn’t have..."
i Xiang covered Chen Cheng’s mouth, "No, there’s nothing you shouldn’t have done, it’s all my own choice."
She closed her eyes and once again leaned into Chen Cheng’s embrace.
Chen Cheng could clearly feel that within the sweetness this ti, there was a faint taste of saltiness.
Their lips parted, and he looked at i Xiang again.
Her tear-stained cheeks now bore a smile.
Just like the first ti he saw her, sweet and beautiful.
"Aren’t you taking to find Li Ya anymore?" i Xiang asked on purpose.
Chen Cheng wiped the tears from her face with his hand, "Not going anymore, there was never such a plan."
i Xiang clutched the corner of Chen Cheng’s clothes, her eyes full of tenderness, "Brother Cheng, where will we go...?"
"Shall I take you for a spin?" Chen Cheng suggested: "Go see the night view, have so late-night snacks."
"I don’t want to." i Xiang shook her head decisively, "I don’t want to see it, nor do I want to eat."
"Why?" Chen Cheng already knew the answer.
i Xiang lifted her head, "I..."
She also noticed the smile in Chen Cheng’s eyes, "You’re just teasing !"
With a swift turn, her flowing long hair brushed across Chen Cheng’s chest, tickling his heart.
Chen Cheng hugged her from behind, his hands caressing those smooth hands, whispering in i Xiang’s ear, "If you don’t tell , how would I know your heart’s desire?"
i Xiang slipped around in his arms, tiptoed, and initiated a kiss with Chen Cheng.
"I didn’t say it, but I’ve already told you."
Chen Cheng smiled, reached out his hand, "Then let’s go."
i Xiang placed her hand on his, gripping it tightly, "Rember to lock the door, and turn the cara back on..."
Chen Cheng slapped his forehead, "I’d forgotten about that."
After that, he reactivated the surveillance, checked the shop one more ti, and then left Wanbao Hall with i Xiang, locking the door behind them.
Amidst the night, i Xiang held Chen Cheng’s arm, like a couple who hadn’t seen each other in a long ti, very affectionate.
Arriving at the roadside, Chen Cheng said, "Are you really coming with ?"
i Xiang nodded firmly, "I’m already here."
Chen Cheng flagged down a taxi, and after getting in, told the driver, "Please, to Wangjing Green City Center, thank you."
i Xiang leaned on Chen Cheng’s shoulder, "What place is that?"
Chen Cheng turned his head and smiled, "You’ll know when we get there."
