Qin Ye approached. "Wife."
Rong Yan looked at him, noticing that after not seeing him for several days, his demeanor seemed to have undergone many changes... He appeared more composed.
"How come you’re back today?"
At this moment, people in the alley were quite far from their home, so at this place and time... it was just the two of them.
Therefore, Qin Ye could say something cheesy, "I missed you."
Rong Yan raised an eyebrow, about to say something when her mother came out.
When Madam Rong saw Qin Ye outside, she immediately pushed Rong Yan, who was standing in the doorway.
"Qin, you’re back!" Her tone was excited.
You just about shoved me into the doorframe.
"Mom, I’m back." Qin Ye couldn’t express his concern for his wife’s near miss because his mother-in-law had already greeted him.
"Good that you’re back!" Madam Rong’s happiness was evident on her face, and she smiled joyously before scrutinizing her son-in-law, "...Qin, you look like you’ve lost a lot of weight. Isn’t the food good at your job?"
She really hadn’t noticed Qin Ye had lost weight.
Qin Ye quickly replied, "Mom, I haven’t lost weight."
Madam Rong insisted, "You definitely have lost weight. Look at your face..." It seemed just the same. Follow current novels on novelꞁire.net
Seeing Qin Ye about to open his mouth, Rong Yan said, "Qin Ye, there’s something you need to understand... there’s a kind of thin where your mother-in-law thinks you’re thin."
Madam Rong then rolled her eyes at her daughter, who quickly said, "Everyone’s back now, let’s go inside and talk! As happy as we are, we can’t stand out here all day, can we?"
Madam Rong agreed with this.
She hurriedly told Qin Ye, "Qin, come inside."
Qin Ye had just returned with a bag.
As he walked next to Rong Yan, he paused in his steps, initially wanting to hold hands, but felt it inappropriate under the bright sun... with his mother-in-law walking ahead.
It felt a bit wrong to hold hands.
"Wife, let’s go inside."
The group arrived in the courtyard... Madam Rong started showing her concern.
Even Qin Mei, seeing her elder brother returned and wanting to greet him, couldn’t get a word in.
Rong Yan saw her just staring at her elder brother and soothed, "No rush, once your brother’s mother-in-law finishes showering her son-in-law with love, you can greet your brother... after all, your brother’s mother-in-law is filled with maternal love right now..."
Hearing her sister-in-law’s words, Qin Mei pursed her lips and smiled faintly.
Madam Rong had finally finished expressing her concerns.
"Qin, rest for a bit; I’ll make you something to eat."
Qin Ye really wasn’t hungry, so he quickly said, "Mom, I’m not hungry right now. We can just eat lunch together later."
Madam Rong: "Have a little something?"
Rong Yan couldn’t stand it anymore, "Mom, he’s a grown man, don’t you think he knows whether he’s hungry or not?"
"Besides, he’s not a stranger. If he wants to eat something, would he be shy, embarrassed, or pretentious?"
Qin Ye also quickly added, "Mom, I’m really not hungry right now. When I’m hungry later, I’ll find something to eat myself."
Madam Rong’s mood towards her son-in-law improved significantly.
However, she still headed for the kitchen since she needed to prepare several extra dishes for lunch.
Qin Mei, seeing her brother free, hurriedly greeted him, "Big brother!"
Qin Ye nodded at his sister, "Hmm, you go ahead and get on with things. I’ll chat with your sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Qin Mei quickly nodded and then ran off...
Finally, it was just the two of them left... Qin Ye’s eyes unwaveringly looked at his wife.
Filled with deep affection!
Rong Yan met his somewhat intense gaze... but still felt slightly uncomfortable.
She cleared her throat lightly, then with a smile, spoke, "Why are you staring at me like that? Have you missed me as if a single day apart feels like years?"
Qin Ye shook his head, "No..."
Hearing this word, Rong Yan couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
Then, before she could speak, she heard Qin Ye’s voice resonate, "Not seeing you for a day feels like it has been several lifetimes."
When a man who exactly fits your taste says such burning words of love, can you really hold yourself together?
She certainly couldn’t.
She immediately pulled him into the house, "Didn’t you say you wanted to talk? Come on, let’s talk now."
Deep conversations might not work, but light ones certainly could.
Sometimes he felt very tough, but... it seemed quite obvious that his wife was tougher than him.
Being pulled along, he could only feel the soft, boneless, and smooth hand in his palm.
His steps were shaky, and his mind was blank.
Not until they entered the house did Rong Yan let go of his hand.
The warmth in his hand disappeared, making an excited Qin Ye suddenly feel somewhat lost.
"Come on, tell me how come you returned? And this morning?"
He had thought... his ears were even starting to feel hot.
It turned out he had thought too much.
Seeing him just standing there, Rong Yan simply took matters into her own hands and forcefully sat him down on the chair.
"When are you leaving this time?"
Qin Ye looked up at his wife, realizing she had just pulled him back to the room to talk... nothing else.
So he collected the messy thoughts that had started to rise in his mind.
"I was working on a project with some seniors at the institute, so I can take two days off. I’ll be at home for these two days. Even after those two days, if I go to the workplace, I will come back to stay at night."
Rong Yan’s eyes twinkled upon hearing his words, "You can come back to stay? Isn’t that a lot of back and forth... Isn’t it very far?"
Qin Ye didn’t hide it from her, "By bicycle, it’s only about forty minutes." Of course, that was when he rode at his fastest pace.
But a round trip of less than two hours... what’s there to fear?
His biggest fear was not being able to see his wife every day.
Not being able to hold his wife as they slept.
If he couldn’t do these things, his life felt somewhat meaningless.
Luckily Rong Yan didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise she would definitely say: Love makes you foolish... whether you’re a man or a woman, it’s not good.
"My wife, this is for you." Qin Ye took out some money from his pocket.
Rong Yan, with sharp eyes, glanced at it... exactly forty.
"What’s this for? It isn’t payday yet, right?"
How long had he been in? Even if the company doesn’t hold back one month’s salary, it wouldn’t be paid this early, would it?
Qin Ye immediately explained, "This is a bonus from this time, my salary will be paid on the fifth of next month."
Rong Yan thought to herself that it wasn’t much money... he could just keep it.
But, the words changed as they reached her lips.
She directly took the money, "That’s very nice, you’ve done well, here’s a reward for you!"
She leaned over and quickly kissed him on the face.
Qin Ye: ... Did she kiss the wrong spot?
