Yang Chuxia shook her head, thinking that she should go to bed early. Maybe it was because she hadn’t been getting enough rest these past few days that she hallucinated.
Just as she was about to pull the covers over her to go to sleep, she heard a shout from outside, "Madam, the young master is home."
Then she heard a gentle male voice saying, "If the madam is asleep, let her be. You can go, I’ll go in myself."
The door creaked open from the outside and was then gently closed.
Feeling the familiar presence, Yang Chuxia finally confirmed that it was indeed Ye Zi’an who had come back. She threw off the covers and lunged at him, embracing his whole body.
"Hehe, my wife is as passionate as ever!" A clear and gentle laugh came from his lips, but in the next instant, it was drowned out by her sweet fragrance, which stuck in his throat.
The longer they had been apart, the deeper their longing for each other had grown. Especially because she had nothing else during the past few days to distract her from her thoughts, her feelings had become even more intense.
At this moment, she only wanted to be closer to Ye Zi’an, even closer.
"It seems I am not the only one who has been longing."
"Isn’t that obvious?" Yang Chuxia glared at him but continued to cling to him, "I missed you so much, so much, so much."
Upon hearing her words, Ye Zi’an found that his exclusive right to damage her clothes had been taken away by his sweet wife today.
"Wife, are you sure we are going to stand ?"
The person in his arms hesitated for a moment, then wrapped her arms around his neck and with a sudden force, hung onto Ye Zi’an like a koala. "Then let’s change the location."
"Your wish is my command, hehe."
The enthusiasm of Yang Chuxia made every cell in Ye Zi’an’s body burst with joy.
Gently putting Yang Chuxia down, he leaned over her seductively, "Wife, allow me to serve you well now.".
"If you don’t do a good job, you’ll be punished."
The brief separation and the intense longing for each other melted away as they deeply connected in this moment.
Afterward, Ye Zi’an lit the lamp in the room and embraced Yang Chuxia again.
"Why didn’t you listen to me and stay with your mother?"
With her eyes closed, Yang Chuxia murmured, "It doesn’t matter where I stay; it’s not like there’s any danger. Besides, I wanted to wait for you in our little home."
Hearing her words, Ye Zi’an hugged her even tighter, "I’ll never be away from Xiaxia for so long again."
"Nonsense, there’s still the spring exams."
"I’ll take Xiaxia with me to the spring exams. You can see the sights of Capital City."
Yang Chuxia laughed softly, "I don’t want to. If people find out you’re taking your wife to the exams, they’ll accuse you of being a slave to your desires."
"Humph, anyone who says that is just jealous." Ye Zi’an said dismissively. But when his eyes fell upon Yang Chuxia lying in his arms, he felt a stirring in his heart.
He whispered in her ear, "However, my wife is so beautiful, it’s true that I’m always tempted. My dear, I’m hungry again, and I want to eat some meat."
