Xia Feng was leaning against the car door, scrolling through short videos out of boredom. All the catchy music and ridiculous skits failed to stir even the slightest interest in him.
Suddenly, a crisp and slightly excited voice reached his ears.
“Hubby!”
Xia Feng looked up.
His newlywed wife, Liu Ruyan, was running toward him at full speed. The stunning face that was usually cold as ice now carried a dazzling smile. When she was still about 2 meters away from him, she pushed off with both feet and threw herself straight at him.
“Damn!”
Startled, Xia Feng had no time to think. He quickly tossed his phone onto the car roof and opened his arms, steadily catching the small woman who had launched herself at him.
A soft fragrance filled his embrace, warm and tender.
Liu Ruyan wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her entire body tightly against him like a koala. As if that were not enough, she rubbed her cheek lightly against his chest.
“You, honestly…”
Xia Feng could not help laughing as he gently pinched her small, upturned nose. “You’re still injured, and you dare to play like this? Aren’t you afraid your wound might split open again?”
Now that he possessed [God-Level Massage], he understood the structure of the human body thoroughly. He could clearly sense that Liu Ruyan’s body was still in an extremely fatigued state with minor internal strain. Seeing her act so recklessly made him both worried and amused.
Liu Ruyan buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled and filled with sweet affection. “Mm… I know I was wrong… But… I just missed you. I couldn’t even wait one second!”
What could Xia Feng possibly say to that?
Any trace of reproach in his heart instantly vanished, replaced with nothing but indulgent affection. He simply held her like that for a while.
This scene happened to be witnessed by employees who had just gotten off work.
In an instant, everyone froze.
“I… I’m not seeing things, right? That… that’s CEO Liu?”
A young male employee who had just joined the company stood there with his mouth wide open, big enough to fit an egg, rubbing his eyes repeatedly.
“That woman acting cute in a man’s arms… is that really our ice-cold female CEO who scolds people in meetings until they question their existence?”
“Oh my God! Breaking news of the century! The CEO actually found a man!”
“My heavens… So our domineering and powerful female CEO has such a delicate side in private?”
“Waaah, my goddess… my dream is shattered…”
“Shattered my foot! Look at that guy. Damn, he’s handsome! They’re perfectly matched. A match made in heaven, okay!”
The crowd grew larger, and the murmurs became louder. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Xia Feng felt his scalp go numb. He did not want to make tomorrow’s Jiangcheng financial headlines.
He gently patted Liu Ruyan’s head and said softly, “Alright, so many people are watching. Let’s go.”
He opened the front passenger door for her, helped her sit down properly, and thoughtfully fastened her seatbelt. Then he walked around to the driver’s side, got in, and stepped on the accelerator. Under countless shocked, envious, and gossiping gazes, the car drove off smoothly.
The car moved steadily along the road toward Xia Feng’s small rental apartment.
Liu Ruyan had suggested that he move into her villa so they could live together. Now that they were married, living separately made no sense. Xia Feng agreed and planned to go back and pack his things.
There was not much to pack, just a few sets of clothes and his precious gaming computer.
On the way, Xia Feng could only drive with one hand.
From the moment they got into the car, Liu Ruyan had tightly held his other hand with her left hand, their fingers interlocked, refusing to let go.
“Hubby.”
Liu Ruyan tilted her head, her eyes full of affection as she looked at him. “Did you miss me while you were at work today?”
“Of course. I kept thinking about you the whole time.”
Xia Feng kept his eyes on the road, but his words were as sweet as honey.
“Hehe, me too.”
Liu Ruyan smiled like a child who had secretly eaten candy.
They continued whispering trivial love talk for a while before Xia Feng suddenly put on a serious expression.
“Ruyan, I’m being serious. You really need to take care of your body, understand?”
“You were like that just yesterday, and today you went to work injured. After work, you even dared to run and jump around like that. What if you actually hurt yourself again?”
Listening to his nagging, Liu Ruyan did not feel annoyed at all. Instead, her heart felt sweet.
She deliberately pouted. “If you call me wife, I’ll listen to you.”
Xia Feng was taken aback, then laughed softly, his tone turning incomparably gentle. “Alright, wife. Did you hear me?”
“Mm! I heard you!”
Liu Ruyan nodded obediently. “I’ll definitely be more careful from now on. I’m sorry. Will you forgive me this time?”
She shook their intertwined hands as she spoke in a spoiled tone. “Besides… wasn’t this injury caused by you? You have to take responsibility!” This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
In the end, she even turned the blame back on him.
Xia Feng could only raise his hands in surrender. “Alright, alright, I’ll take responsibility. My fault. All my fault.”
“Tonight when we get back, I’ll treat you properly.”
Treat?
The moment Liu Ruyan heard that word, her thoughts went astray.
Did that mean… applying medicine?
Her husband personally… applying medicine for her?
As certain indescribable images flashed through her mind, her face instantly flushed red like a ripe apple. Yet beneath the embarrassment, there was unmistakable anticipation.
Soon, the car stopped downstairs at Xia Feng’s old rental apartment.
Xia Feng told this “injured patient” to stay in the car while he hurried upstairs.
In less than ten minutes, he came back down carrying a suitcase and his computer tower.
After moving everything, he sent a message to the landlord saying he would not be renewing the lease next month. Just like that, he officially bid farewell to his life of living alone.
The car started again, this time heading toward Liu Ruyan’s villa.
It was located in a prime area of Jiangcheng, a high-end residential district for the wealthy. Everywhere one looked, there were detached villas, and security was extremely strict.
Liu Ruyan’s villa was one of the best-located in the entire area, covering a full 500 square meters. The market value was likely several hundred million.
The entire villa was decorated in European style, understated yet luxurious, exquisite to the extreme.
With one hand carrying the luggage and the other supporting Liu Ruyan, Xia Feng slowly walked into her bedroom.
“Go take a shower first. You’re covered in sweat,” Xia Feng said gently. “After you finish, I’ll help you ‘treat’ it. Once that’s done, I’ll cook dinner for you. I bought groceries on the way before picking you up.”
“Mm.”
Liu Ruyan nodded obediently, then opened her arms like a child asking for candy. “Carry me.”
Xia Feng smiled helplessly, then scooped her up in a princess carry with ease and strode toward the bathroom.
