Chapter 266: Once More
Zhang Miaoyan felt Xie Yuchen’s love and all her grievances burst out in front of him, her tears couldn’t be stopped despite his soothing.
Xie Yuchen initially wanted to be a bit naughty, but her tears made him unable to entertain any other thoughts. He hugged her tight and said, "Don’t cry. I will make it up to you twice as much in the future. What can I do to make you happy?"
Zhang Miaoyan had never seen Xie Yuchen make such concessions to anyone. She wasn’t a willful person, and couldn’t bear to blame him anymore. "Just don’t say things that upset me in the future."
Xie Yuchen promised her, "How could I ever bear to upset you?"
Zhang Miaoyan fell asleep in his arms and was still thinking the next morning, she’s gotten used to his embrace so quickly. What will she do if he leaves in the future?
Xie Yuchen didn’t know if he felt guilty or what, but for the next few days, he behaved very properly. At most, he’d kiss her before bed and take advantage of her a little, but didn’t do anything else.
Several times, Zhang Miaoyan could feel his urge towards her, but he never crossed the line.
She was touched but also anxious. Is it normal for newlyweds not to do that?
She wanted to ask Jun Xi or Xiao Yu, but thought about how Jun Xi was troubled by the president’s issues, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Yang’s situation also wasn’t very clear. She felt embarrassed to ask.
Forget it, let it go naturally then.
After registering their marriage, Zhang Miaoyan cooked at home after work every day. Xie Yuchen no longer worked overtime till late at night, and came home on time.
Every time he opened the door to see the lights on inside, it wasn’t pitch black like before. Someone was inside waiting for him to come home. Xie Yuchen finally understood why Gu Yikun was so smug.
This sense of satisfaction can really make a man swell with pride.
Today, Zhang Miaoyan came home late after shopping with Jun Xi and Xiao Yu. Before she got home, Xie Yuchen called her, "Where are you?"
Zhang Miaoyan replied, "I went shopping, Xiao Yu is driving me home, I’m almost there."
Xie Yuchen asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"Okay."
And just hung up the phone.
Zhang Miaoyan felt a little dumbfounded. What did he mean by that? Not even a few words of concern.
Gong Xiaoyu sighed, "Both you and Jun Xi are hurried home by your husbands. My Yue Xiaoyang hasn’t even called me once. I really..." She hit the steering wheel, "I’m really almost fed up!"
Zhang Miaoyan quickly said, "Don’t be like that, Xiao Yu. We’ll think of a way together another day."
Gong Xiaoyu said, "I’m really tired. I don’t want to continue anymore. Miaoyan, get ready to attend my single party."
Zhang Miaoyan saw she was serious and tried to console her, "Don’t be like that. You two should have a good talk when you get home. Yue Xiaoyang can’t live without you."
"Really, I can’t see that," Gong Xiaoyu parked under the apartment building, "Here you are."
Zhang Miaoyan got out of the car, "I’ll go up first. Don’t overthink, drive safely."
"Okay okay, I’m not a child."
Zhang Miaoyan watched Gong Xiaoyu’s car drive away before going upstairs. As soon as she entered the house, she smelled an unusual burnt smell.
She put down her things and rushed into the kitchen. Xie Yuchen was fiddling with something inside, and a thick smoke was billowing out.
Zhang Miaoyan was scared to death, "Yuchen, are you cooking?"
She saw the stuff in the pot was burnt to charcoal, quickly added some water and turned off the stove.
Xie Yuchen was frustrated, "It’s really not easy to cook something for you."
Zhang Miaoyan was a bit surprised, "You wanted to cook for me?"
"Didn’t you say you haven’t eaten yet?"
All her previous frustration vanished instantly. Xie Yuchen had never been in the kitchen, but hearing she hadn’t eaten, he wanted to cook for her. His sincerity was undeniable.
His hands were used for experiments, not for handling spatulas.
He wasn’t good at saying sweet words; his actions were impeccable. That was already enough for Zhang Miaoyan. She said, "Let me do it. How about noodles tonight?"
Xie Yuchen’s hand was on her waist, "I like everything my wife cooks."
Zhang Miaoyan said, "You go out and wait for me." With him like this, how could she cook?
Xie Yuchen just stood there, "I want to watch."
Zhang Miaoyan let him be. She took shrimp and crab meat out of the fridge to make a seafood broth, quickly prepared two bowls of noodles, and stir-fried a vegetable dish.
Xie Yuchen carried the noodles out, and they had a simple dinner. Xie Yuchen snatched the chance to wash the dishes.
Zhang Miaoyan took her clothes and went to the bathroom. As she was almost done, she heard Xie Yuchen outside asking, "Miaoyan, what did you buy today?"
It reminded Zhang Miaoyan of the bags on the sofa. The things inside... she panicked, "Nothing special. Don’t touch my things!"
She hurriedly finished her bath, accidentally knocking over some bottles on the sink. The bathroom turned into a chaotic mess.
Xie Yuchen had just asked casually, but hearing her so nervous, he really wanted to check it out.
He dumped out the contents of three bags: two dresses, baby clothes, and... he picked up the skimpy piece of fabric with his fingers. He wasn’t mistaken, it was lingerie.
He couldn’t believe his demure little wife bought this kind of stuff, clearly intending to turn him into a ravenous beast!
Xie Yuchen stared seriously at the lingerie design, imagining Zhang Miaoyan wearing it... No way, he was going to get a nosebleed.
Zhang Miaoyan ran out after getting dressed, seeing him holding the revealing lingerie, her face blushing furiously, "Don’t misunderstand, the lingerie store owner said buying more would get a discount, and then..."
Xie Yuchen’s gaze was dangerous. He wrapped his arms around her waist, his voice changed, "I haven’t heard you call me hubby yet, call me once."
Zhang Miaoyan saw he was not quite like his usual self and nervously called him, "Hubby."
Xie Yuchen carried her into the bedroom, "Wife, the clothes you bought are very beautiful. Wear them for me now."
Zhang Miaoyan was placed on the bed and burrowed into the quilt, "No way, I didn’t mean to buy that. The lingerie store owner said..." She couldn’t explain clearly, so embarrassing!
Xie Yuchen saw her shy and timid look, his desire for conquest reached its peak. He pressed his body onto hers, "You bought the clothes, so you should wear them. I want to see."
He undressed her, her face buried in his chest, refusing to look up, "No, I don’t want to wear it."
Xie Yuchen softened, not forcing her, "Okay, we can do something else."
Zhang Miaoyan quickly succumbed to his teasing. She was a bit scared of the pain, Xie Yuchen reassured her, "Wife, it will hurt a bit, but it will be over soon."
He had endured for so long, tonight finally making her truly his woman.
Zhang Miaoyan didn’t know how she survived, it was a completely new experience for her. Afterwards, she panted in his arms, exhausted to the point her brain couldn’t function.
Xie Yuchen held her delicate body, "Wife, we’ll try on that dress another day."
Zhang Miaoyan had just calmed down, remembering the madness earlier from his words, she covered her face with the blanket, "I won’t try it on!"
Xie Yuchen laughed, "If you don’t try it on, we’ll do it again."
