The look on Sheng Yize’s face was a mix of pleasure and pain .
” Ahem . That’ll do . ” He cleared his throat .
An Xiaxia looked concerned . “Don’t play the tough guy! I know you’re in pain!”
… I really am not . Dear wife, you don’t have to be this diligent!
Sheng Yize couldn’t tell her the truth and had to let her keep rubbing .
“You’re in such great shape…” An Xiaxia was amazed . “Why do you never get fat?”
Sheng Yize said quietly, “I work out . ”
“Keep up that good habit! Don’t indulge in beer and meat like other married men . You’ll get a potbelly in no time . I won’t like you anymore if you become ugly!”
“Do you like me for my good looks only?” Sheng Yize asked, a little disappointed .
“I like your money as well,” An Xiaxia said honestly .
That was a hard blow to our scheming guy .
“Of course, I like you as a whole more~” An Xiaxia said happily . Sheng Yize looked a little relieved, but An Xiaxia then said, “Because not only are you good-looking, you can make money as well . Teehee…”
… He really wanted to travel back in time and tell his young self — ever consider taking a different wife?
The answer was obviously no, but his urge wouldn’t go away .
An Xiaxia’s hand slipped a little downwards and she felt something hot .
What was that? She looked under the duvet in confusion .
Then… she put the duvet back down .
Embarrassed, Sheng Yize blushed behind his ears . “It’s just a normal physiological reaction . ”
“Hm…” An Xiaxia lowered her head, cheeks flushing . “Does your stomach still hurt? Do you need me to keep rubbing?”
“It doesn’t hurt now…” Sheng Yize pondered . “Do you think you can rub somewhere else?”
An Xiaxia went quiet for a second before throwing a punch at him . “You dirty man!”
The mood was flirtatious in the room . To ease the awkwardness, Sheng Yize switched on the TV .
“What would you like to watch?”
“Cartoon . ”
“… So childish . ”
Despite his judgmental tone, Sheng Yize still picked up the remote control and searched for a cartoon channel .
An Xiaxia called out when she saw a local news report . “Stop!”
Sheng Yize did as told . A man was being interviewed in it . He had pretty amorous eyes that slanted slightly upward at the end, which gave him a mesmerizing look . His smile looked especially pleasant .
“You’re falling for that? Really?” Sheng Yize snickered . However, the look on his face soon turned serious as well .
“The rumor is that Mr . Song expressed at a banquet his intention for his daughter to inherit everything under his name . Mr . Song Shi, do you have anything to say about that?” The host then handed the man the microphone .
The smile on Song Shi’s face was very tantalizing . “Mr . Song is suffering from an incurable disease, it’s only natural that he will leave everything to his daughter . ”
The host was noticeably shocked . “Are you saying that Mr . Song is terminally ill?”
Gosh! That was breaking news!
Song Shi raised an eyebrow . “In any case, as a member of the Song family, I’ll do my best to lead the Group into a new, splendid future . ”
The news ended there .
An Xiaxia said in disbelief, “Who on earth is he…”
Sheng Yize searched his memory and frowned . “That’s Song Shi, your cousin . Basically, his father lost the internal struggle to Mr . Song and Mr . Song ended up taking control of the Song family . From the looks of it, Song Shi is… determined to get the family business back . ”
“Are you saying that he’s going to compete for the right of inheritance with me?”
“That’s right . ”
The hair on An Xiaxia’s back stood up . “How about I give it to him now? Will I be in great danger?”
