Xiao Changyi remained silent, not even opening his eyes, letting her lie on top of him while she smiled cheerfully at him.
"Husband~" An Jing called out again.
Xiao Changyi still didn’t respond.
An Jing wasn’t annoyed; she simply gave a smacking kiss on the lips of her dear husband before cheerfully calling out for the third time, "Husband~"
Only then did Xiao Changyi open his eyes, his cool gaze incredibly calm, without a single ripple.
Seeing Xiao Changyi open his eyes, An Jing immediately said, "Husband, I’ve dealt with Linghe upon my return!"
"Hmm," Xiao Changyi responded softly while lying back down, and An Jing promptly sprawled entirely over him.
An Jing didn’t get off him; instead, she climbed a little further up to be face to face with him, their eyes meeting, and she said again with a mischievous smile, "I really taught her a lesson; she won’t dare to show her face to anyone again."
An Jing was satisfied and continued, "She said she thinks of you day and night and can’t sleep."
Xiao Changyi frowned and said, "Didn’t you cut out her tongue?" He paused, "Poisoning her to silence would work too."
"Hahaha—" An Jing burst out laughing. After rewarding him with a kiss on his lips, she added, "She also said she wants to serve you."
Xiao Changyi immediately felt disgusted, his frown deepening, and without a second thought, he said, "Change the subject."
An Jing was even more amused, smoothing out his furrowed brow with her fingers while asking with a smile, "What topic would you like to switch to?"
Xiao Changyi simply said, "Anything."
After a moment of thought, An Jing asked, "I’ve been away from you for more than an hour, did you miss me?"
"Yes," he paused, "You?"
An Jing promptly replied, "Of course, I missed you too! Every single moment!"
Xiao Changyi felt very pleased, and, flipping over, he pinned An Jing beneath him, and then, he kissed An Jing.
When their kiss broke, they didn’t embrace but instead lay face to face, you looking at me, and I at you.
After a long silence, An Jing slowly started to smile and jokingly said, "Husband, you love me so much, what would you do if one day I didn’t want you anymore, hmm~"
Even though Xiao Changyi knew An Jing was joking, his face instantly turned cold, and he said icily, "That day will never come."
An Jing quickly soothed him, "Of course, I know that day will never come—it was just a hypothetical, you understand? It means ’if,’ ’suppose,’ ’perhaps,’ ’just in case.’
Xiao Changyi’s icy gaze was fixed on An Jing, his face expressionless for a long time, before he finally answered calmly, "If that day ever does come, I’ll end my own life."
Upon hearing this, An Jing kissed Xiao Changyi’s lips frantically, as if she had gone mad, her heart aching terribly.
Her husband had suffered so much in the past, wanting to die, yet he never chose the path of suicide, but now, he was contemplating ending his own life because of her abandonment...
Her heart, too pained to bear it!
With tears of heartache streaming down her face, An Jing disregarded everything and kissed Xiao Changyi deeply, desperately, as though only this way could she feel that Xiao Changyi was still alive.
If An Jing was a blaze in the past, then Xiao Changyi was a block of ice, but now, both were fire, two flames that met and burned ever more fiercely, impossible to extinguish.
