Pei Xi’s trip to the old house was incredibly fruitful.
She calculated that all these possessions added up to a net worth of over a hundred million! This was something she never dared to dream of before.
Such a large sum of money would have been nothing to her on her own.
Now, just by marrying Si Ruohan, she had achieved financial freedom.
She didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. If she divorced Si Ruohan in the future, he probably wouldn’t make her return all these things!
It’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go back!
Pei Xi worried that she had forgotten what it felt like to live a simple and frugal life, and wouldn’t be able to endure hardship anymore.
How would she survive without Si Ruohan? This starting point was a bit too high; she couldn’t get back down!
No, no, before she and Si Ruohan break up, she has to secretly save some money! That way, she won’t have to work so hard later.
Pei Xi frowned as she thought about it. When Si Ruohan came out of the shower and saw Pei Xi like this, he thought she had encountered some problem.
He dried his hair and sat down next to Pei Xi.
“So? What happened?”
Pei Xi was startled. She had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she had forgotten Si Ruohan was there.
Pei Xi patted her chest, still shaken.
“You scared me to death! I was watching TV, I was so absorbed.”
Pei Xi showed Si Ruohan her phone; she was watching a drama!
She couldn’t let Si Ruohan know what she was thinking.
Si Ruohan glanced at it and affectionately pinched Pei Xi’s nose.
“You! You were all frowning just now, I thought you were having some trouble.”
“I don’t have to do anything, I just eat and sleep, what trouble could I possibly have?”
Si Ruohan chuckled, “Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, isn’t that like a pig?”
Pei Xi’s eyes immediately shot towards Si Ruohan. Pei Xi sat on Si Ruohan and grabbed his neck.
“What did you say? You actually called me a pig? Is there such a beautiful pig as me? I’ll give you one more chance to rephrase your words.”
Pei Xi didn’t use much force, and Si Ruohan played along, even protecting her stomach.
“Okay, okay, I was wrong, I misspoke, Xi Xi, how could you be a pig? You’re a fairy! A beautiful fairy.”
Pei Xi was satisfied to see that he knew his mistake and could correct it.
Her life was no different from that of an animal, but no one could say that about her, not even her husband.
“That’s more like it.”
Pei Xi tried to get off Si Ruohan and continue looking at her phone.
Si Ruohan’s strong arms held her tightly, and Pei Xi couldn’t move. Pei Xi pushed against his chest.
“Let go, I want to watch TV!”
Si Ruohan pulled Pei Xi into his arms, inhaling her fragrance, feeling content.
“Don’t move, let me hold you. The thought of not being able to hold you for several days after tomorrow makes me sad.”
Pei Xi, hearing this, curiously pushed Si Ruohan away.
“What’s wrong? Is something wrong? Have you been away from home for a while?”
Si Ruohan’s warm breath brushed against Pei Xi’s neck, making her involuntarily pull back slightly.
“Yes! I have to go on a business trip tomorrow afternoon, probably for a week. It’s expected to be a week, maybe longer.”
Si Ruohan’s lips explored, planting kiss after kiss on Pei Xi’s neck.
Hearing that Si Ruohan was going on a business trip, Pei Xi was stunned. Since their marriage, this was the first time he had left her!
Pei Xi found herself a little reluctant to let him go.
“Really? You’re going for so long?”
Si Ruohan kissed Pei Xi’s red lips repeatedly and gently until Pei Xi was breathless, then he released her.
He whispered in Pei Xi’s ear,
“Xi Xi, are you reluctant to leave me?”
Pei Xi readily admitted it, hugging Si Ruohan’s neck with a face full of reluctance.
“Yes! I’ve gotten used to you being by my side. Of course I’ll miss you if you leave for so long! But, company matters are important. You need to finish them as soon as possible and come back soon.”
Si Ruohan replied,
“Okay, I’ll definitely come back as soon as I’ve finished. Xi Xi, while I ’m away, do you want to go back to the old house? I’m a little worried about you being alone here.”
Pei Xi shook her head,
“No, I’ll wait for you here. I won’t go anywhere. Besides, who said I’m alone? Aunt Liu is here too! And the two nannies Mom hired last time, there are three people taking care of me at home!”
As she spoke, Pei Xi kissed Si Ruohan.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself and I definitely won’t let myself suffer even the slightest grievance. Honey, you must work hard and earn money. The baby and I are waiting for you at home!”
Si Ruohan smiled. Honey! That title really sounded nice; he liked it.
“You’ll have to go for your prenatal checkup soon. If I can’t make it back in time, I’ll have Mom go with you.”
Si Ruohan felt it was such a pity; the baby was already three months along and could be seen as human.
His wife was three months along, the pregnancy was stable, and they could have marital relations. He wanted to make love with his wife.
Unfortunately, he had to go on a business trip, and it had to be him.
“I know, I’ll call Mom if you’re not home.”
Pei Xi was really reluctant to leave, clinging to Si Ruohan and whining sweetly.
“When you’re out, you’re not allowed to flirt with other women, and you’re not allowed to be alone with other women. You have to think about us all the time, understand?”
Si Ruohan chuckled, his hand restlessly exploring upwards from Pei Xi’s waist, finally stopping at his favorite spot. His hand tightened, feeling the smoothness in his skin, and desire surged in his eyes. He
seductively whispered in Pei Xi’s ear,
“Xi Xi, do you want to satisfy me? That way, I won’t have time to look at others!”
Pei Xi was well aware of the strange sensation in her chest. She trembled slightly, but before she could answer, Si Ruohan silenced her with a kiss.
Pei Xi knew Si Ruohan would be away for a while, so she tried her best to cooperate, wrapping her arms around his neck and tilting her head back slightly, their breaths mingling.
Pei Xi’s actions thrilled Si Ruohan, who didn’t care about leaving any marks and only wanted to enjoy the benefits of the next few days.
In the morning, while Si Ruohan was packing, Pei Xi was still lying in bed, listless and without any energy.
Si Ruohan, on the other hand, looked completely satisfied, packing his things himself without Pei Xi’s help.
Pei Xi sometimes felt it was unfair; why was it that he did all the work, but she was the one who ended up exhausted?
“Honey, do you need me to help you pack? I feel a little bad that I can’t help,”
Si Ruohan said, glancing at Pei Xi and gesturing for her to drink the milk beside her.
“If you finish your milk and eat, that’s helping me.”
Si Ruohan had brought the milk and food upstairs for Pei Xi because he was worried she might be hungry.
Pei Xi hadn’t changed her clothes yet, and several hickeys were still visible on her exposed neck.
Not to mention under her clothes, there wasn’t a single good spot there. When Si Ruohan was applying the medicine to Pei Xi, he couldn’t help but massage her for a while.
Si Ruohan went to the company in the morning and went straight to the airport in the afternoon, so he was taking the luggage now.
Although Pei Xi didn’t want to go down for dinner, she still got up to see Si Ruohan off when he left. Only
after watching Si Ruohan’s car drive away did Pei Xi yawn and go back to her room to continue sleeping.
