Chen Jinyaos late arrival left Yan Cheng very upset.

When the cell door opened, he slowly lifted up his head and stared directly at her. Without hesitation, the first thing he said was: Why dont you come back tomorrow?

Due to his pent up frustrations, his tone of voice unconsciously turned sarcastic.

knowing that she deliberately ignored him last time, Chen Jinyao leaned against the door and didnt speak.

Still, her eyes remained fixed on him.

Those red eyes, dark circles, his unshaven stubble, and his messy hair; her gaze focused on Yan Chengs haggard face.

The room was heated from the air conditioning so at least this cold and graceful man didnt end up freezing to death. The coat he wore also had a wool hoodie.

Its snowing outside and the road is in bad condition. Chen Jinyao went over and handed him his down jacket. Ive finished up all the procedures with the police so youre free to go now.

Yan Cheng put on his jacket and partly bent down to zip it up. Yes, my wifes life is worth a thousand dollars. We should make sure you travel safely. The zipper suddenly got stuck near the bottom, probably because he was in a hurry. Bad luck usually comes in a basketful; while he struggled to pull it up, the zipper ends up tangled with his shirt. Nothing he tried made it better. Hey.

Let me. Chen Jinyao smacked his hand out of the way.

Yan Cheng stood up straight and obediently waited while he pouted his lips.

Chen Jinyao bent down and concentrated. The scattered strands of her hair hung loosely on her tender white cheeks. A few seconds later, there was a squiggling sound and the zippler was pulled up directly to the top, knocking Yan Chengs chin. With her success, Chen Jinyao took a step back and said with satisfaction: Alright.

Um. Yan Cheng whispered as his Adams apple moved up and down.

..

The trees and buildings on both sides of the road constantly flitted past. Chen Jinyao held the steering wheel with both hands and looked ahead while English music played in the car to ease the mood. Her husbands silence made the atmosphere a little uncomfortable, so Chen Jinyao couldnt help but ask,

How long will Er Guan stay closed?

Yan Chengs source of income was Er Guan.

Since the Yan family had other heirs to inherit their family business, they didnt bother interfering with his profession at all.

He wanted to be an idle bar owner, so he did it.

Anyways, Er Guans business was profitable. It earned enough for him to squander his wealth.

Yan Cheng rested his chin on his hand and looked sideways at Chen Jinyao, his lips lifting slightly. A month and a half.

Chen Jinyao nodded. What will you do in the meantime?

What? He was confused for a moment, then he suddenly understood. Yan Cheng closed his eyes and lazily replied, Of course, Ill be a house husband.

Chen Jinyao was so surprised that she almost let go of the steering wheel.

Yan Cheng: Ill depend on you to support me.

Chen Jinyao remained silent for a moment without answering.

Silence is the best refusal.

Yan Cheng also looked back at her, opened his eyes and asked, You dont like that?

Only

Um. Shes not willing. Wasnt that obvious enough?

Why not?? Yan Cheng said in an exaggeratingly surprised manner.

Chen Jinyao glanced at him and smiled. I cant afford you.

The atmosphere along their drive was quite good.

While waiting for the red light, Yan Chengs cellphone rang.

It was Zhou Xue. The callers display was conspicuous enough, or perhaps Yan Cheng intended to make it visible to her. Anyways, Chen Jinyao glanced to the side and saw it before looking away.

Suddenly, the car turned quiet. Chen Jinyaos dark pupils seemed to light up. She smiled in amusement and lifted a brow as she urged him: Pick it up.
