Having finished speaking, Xiaoxiao looked up and saw her bargain husband and Chu Lian standing at the doorway.
"..." When did they get back, and how much had they heard?
Emma, this was so awkward, since what they were discussing was all private talk. Xiaoxiao immediately got up and greeted him with a smile, "Hubby, you’re back!"
Reminded by Xiaoxiao’s reaction, Wang Xiangxiang also realized that the two men had returned, and she felt utterly embarrassed, it was indeed quite shameful.
"You two go ahead, I’ll head over to the rental courtyard," Wang Xiangxiang said as she stepped out the door, not wanting to stay any longer, especially with the shameless man having arrived.
Seeing the petulant girl’s behavior, Chu Lian knew she was avoiding him. He felt a bit dejected and blurted out without thinking, "I’ll go out too."
And with that, he followed her out the door.
The sight of the two of them made Xiaoxiao burst into laughter uncontrollably, "Pfft!"
Seeing his wife giggle, Yang Ming felt somewhat helpless, and thought it necessary to remind her, "Wifey, you really dare to say anything."
"..." Had he heard that? Xiaoxiao immediately hooked her arm in her bargain husband’s, tightening her grip on his arm and threatened, "Spill it, how much did you hear?"
Even her threatening demeanor was endearing to him. He pushed against her forehead with his palm, "Starting from when you asked how Ruyi’s search for a partner was going."
Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. Wasn’t that conversation from earlier? So, these two had been back for a while and didn’t come in. They had deliberately listened to their conversation, what were they up to?
"Hubby, you actually want to listen to our private conversations?"
"..." It wasn’t that he wanted to. Yang Ming immediately explained, "It wasn’t me, I wanted to remind you from the start, but Chu Lian stopped me."
Xiaoxiao’s eyes revolved with intrigue, "Hubby, is Master Chu married yet?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Ming frowned. Why was wifey asking about this?
Seeing Yang Ming not responding, Xiaoxiao asked once more, "Aren’t you two close friends? Don’t you know?"
Reluctantly, Yang Ming replied, "He’s not married."
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao suddenly cheered, throwing her hands up, "That’s great."
Yang Ming’s expression darkened. Chu Lian wasn’t married yet, and his wife was already so delighted. His wife could only be his, and he pulled her into his embrace, "Wifey, you can only be mine."
"..." Eh, had her bargain husband misunderstood something? What a jealous pot he was.
Xiaoxiao gave a snicker, then stood on her tiptoes and suddenly kissed her bargain husband’s cheek, "What are you thinking? Of course, I’m yours."
"..." His wife had launched a surprise attack, but the darkness on his face instantly vanished, his heart blooming with joy.
"I just thought he and Xiangxiang would be a good match. If he’s not married, we could play matchmaker."
"Hmm." His wife’s suggestion was good. If they could really set them up, then Chu Lian wouldn’t always be preoccupied with his wife.
"Alright, hubby, go wash up, you’re all covered in mud."
Yang Ming, still hugging his wife, didn’t want to let go, "Wifey, how did I do with the work today?"
"Then tonight, could we...?"
"..." This bargain husband was really relentless in bringing this up, he must be suffering too.
With her face flushed red, Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, "Mhm."
Overjoyed by her response, Yang Ming swooped her up in his arms, spinning several times on the spot, "Wifey, I love you."
Dizzy from being spun around, Xiaoxiao bashfully spoke, "Alright, put me down now!"
