“I’m going to go wash up!”

She then headed for the bathroom, only to be grabbed by the wrist and get pulled into her husband’s embrace as he hugged her from the back.

“Shishi, don’t be angry, alright?”

‘Shishi, don’t be angry, alright?’

From his soft, gentle tone, it sounded as if he was trying to please her!

Usually, he would introduce her to others as ‘his wife’ or ‘missus’, but in private, he preferred to call her ‘Shishi’, especially during lovemaking. He would hold her tightly in his arms and moaned her name repeatedly in her ear.

‘Shishi… Shishi…’

It gave her such blissful and fuzzy feelings that she would lose herself to him whenever he called her name in such a gentle tone!

“Shishi, even if I had any feelings for Rong Xuan, it died a decade ago. She’s indeed my childhood sweetheart, but the young me couldn’t differentiate between fondness and love back then. Don’t be angry and treat me with cold shoulders because of this, alright?”

“I’m not angry…” As she bit her bottom lip, she quietly mumbled, “I’m just feeling a little jealous.”

“Jealous?” he echoed the word with a frown.

Jealous?

What’s there to be jealous about when in fact Rong Xuan is the one dripping with jealousy?

Her mouth formed a pout. “Maybe it’s because I’m just too affected!”

All of a sudden, she turned around and looked up at him. “You know what? I’m actually really jealous of her because she was by your side when you were young and owns many memories with you than I have of us. Hearing her talk about your shared childhood made me really bitter and envious! I even wondered whether you two would have gotten together if not for my appearance?”

“Even so, that’s all in the past.”

“Would the past you like me more than her?” she asked out of the blue.

He knitted his brows together, finding his wife absolutely adorable!

Earlier, Rong Xuan was also persistently asking him if he had ever liked her, and at this moment, his wife was equally relentless about this topic. However, to men, whether they liked or loved someone before was not important; what mattered most was an everlasting and devoted relationship.

The past was not worth mentioning at all, but women tended to like exploring it.

As for him, he much preferred to cherish his present and future than to look back.

Nonetheless, he had to answer her question, or she would start imagining things again!

She always felt insecure about their relationship, so it was up to him, as her husband, to soothe her feelings of uneasiness and insecurities.

“That’s a tricky question. One needs to have a strong imagination in order to give you a satisfactory answer!” He told his wife this, and it got her laughing in amusement.

“What sort of answer is that?!”

“That’s because that question isn’t valid!” He paused, then added, “You just need to know that you’re all I want and acknowledged; no one can change this fact, so it’s pointless to ponder on the hypothetical questions.”

“Oh…” The woman nodded in understanding before breaking into a smile and giving his cheek a light pinch with her slender fingers while pouting. “Need you beat around the bush to say all that? Just tell me that you like me more than her!”
