The blizzard raged for two straight days. When Chen Qingzhou woke up that morning, he no longer heard the howling wind outside the window. Releasing his psychic ability to check the surroundings, he discovered that the snow had finally stopped.
Looking at the sleeping Gu Nuan nestled in his arms, Chen Qingzhou’s heart filled with warmth. So this was what people meant by having a loving wife, children, and a warm home.
In his previous life, after graduating, he had returned to the Chen Family in Haicheng. Once Old Master Chen fell gravely ill, he took over the family business. Although everyone thought he had everything, only he knew that he had never been able to let go of Gu Nuan. After the Apocalypse began, he had even sent people everywhere to search for news of her, but before he could find any trace of her, he had already been framed.
This life was truly wonderful. He had been Reborn, Gu Nuan had also been Reborn, and now they even had their babies. All the regrets of his previous life had disappeared. Smiling gently, Chen Qingzhou rested a hand on Gu Nuan’s stomach. The little ones were growing quickly, and her belly was already beginning to show.
After tucking the blanket securely around her, Chen Qingzhou got out of bed and went outside to check the situation.
“Qingzhou, you’re awake too?” Xia Tian had just opened the tent flap when he spotted Chen Qingzhou outside.
“Yeah, I came to see how much snow fell.”
Chen Qingzhou stepped into the snow, which immediately reached halfway up his calves. It was obvious just how heavy the snowfall had been.
“With this much snow, we’ll probably have to wait another couple of days before setting out. Once it starts melting, we’ll clear a path,” Xia Tian said.
Chen Qingzhou nodded. “How are our food supplies?”
“We’ve got enough.”
“Good! Then get some proper rest.”
With that, Chen Qingzhou returned to the tent and climbed back into the motorhome.
“You’re back. Was the snowfall bad?” Gu Nuan had already woken up, but she was still curled beneath the blankets. It was simply too cold for her to want to get out.
“It was pretty heavy. The snow came up to my calves. Since it’s sunny today, it’ll probably take another two days for it to melt before we can continue.”
As he spoke, Chen Qingzhou wrapped an arm around her.
“Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”
Curled against his chest, Gu Nuan absentmindedly traced circles across his firm chest with her fingers. The teasing touch made Chen Qingzhou swallow hard as he said in a husky voice, “Nuan Nuan, don’t fool around.”
Her playful mood only grew stronger. His chest felt far too nice to resist, so she sat up, hooked a finger beneath his chin, and lifted it.
“Handsome, I’m going to keep fooling around. What are you going to do about it?”
She leaned down and lightly kissed his lips.
That was all it took.
Having already experienced intimacy with her before, Chen Qingzhou had spent the past few weeks restraining himself out of concern for her pregnancy, never daring to go beyond a few kisses. Now he immediately rolled over, bracing himself above her with one arm while staring at her soft pink lips, unable to stop himself from swallowing.
The look in his eyes told Gu Nuan everything she needed to know. Smiling mischievously, she pulled his head down and kissed him first.
Truthfully, ever since becoming pregnant, she had also found herself longing for this kind of closeness. The first three months had already passed, so a little moderation was perfectly fine.
Her initiative ignited him completely.
He responded to her kiss with overwhelming passion. Before long, Gu Nuan’s body softened in his embrace. Carefully and gently, Chen Qingzhou removed their clothes, remaining mindful of her pregnancy throughout.
When everything was over, Gu Nuan lay limply against his chest, breathing heavily.
She could only blame herself for starting it.
The last time it had happened, she had been drunk while Chen Qingzhou had been under the influence of a drug, so neither of them had remembered much. This time, however, every moment remained crystal clear in her memory. She had never imagined that he could be so commanding whenever they were together.
Fortunately, the motorhome had been specially modified. The blackout panels were also soundproof, otherwise the sounds she had made just now would have been unbearably embarrassing.
“Get up. I’m hungry.”
“Alright.”
Gu Nuan got out of bed and began getting dressed. Lowering her head, she noticed the marks scattered across her skin, and her cheeks immediately flushed crimson.
Seeing her shy expression, Chen Qingzhou burst into laughter.
“Wife, are you satisfied with your husband’s performance just now?”
Gu Nuan grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.
With a quick leap, Chen Qingzhou easily dodged it. Looking at his long legs and well-defined eight pack abs, Gu Nuan couldn’t help smiling as well.
This outstanding man belonged to her.
After getting dressed, Gu Nuan took a pot of chicken soup out of her System Space. After thinking about it, she put it back inside to continue simmering and save herself some time. Then she took out some fresh vegetables to stir fry.
Before long, breakfast was ready.
Sipping the rich chicken soup while eating flatbread with fresh stir fried vegetables, they enjoyed a wonderfully satisfying meal.
