As Yun Bixue listened, her heart wavered. She never knew that he had done so much for her just to leave work earlier.

Yun Bixue turned and raised her head to look at Xie Limo. Her gaze was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with love for him.

Xie Limo was afraid that his wife would let her imagination run wild and answered the young man, "Enough, that's an exaggeration. What are you doing here?"

The young man patted his head and replied, "Oh, I forgot that I was here to accompany my mother to buy some things."

"Hurry and look for your mother then. Don't let her wait long."

Right at this moment, a middle-aged lady and a young lady walked out of the mall. The younger one carried bags of items in her hands while the older one walked slowly towards them.

"Xiaoting! Xiaoting!"

"Mom, I'm here."

"Hurry, come here. I was so worried that you would get lost."

Yun Bixue watched as the young man ran towards his mother. She asked curiously, "He's already so old. Why is she afraid that he'll get lost?"

Xie Limo explained, "That young man is called Zhu Ting. He's our newly hired staff and is rather hardworking. However, he isn't opinionated. He came from a single-parent family as he lost his father at a young age. His mother is very reliant on him."

"Who's that behind them? Their maid?"

Xie Limo took a glance and answered, "That's his wife."

Yun Bixue frowned. "I couldn't tell at all. How can a man let his wife carry so many things and not offer to help?"

Xie Limo pinched Yun Bixue's nose and laughed, "You're beginning to worry again. Every family has its own hards.h.i.+ps. Let us buy some ingredients and go home!"

"Okay."

As they walked home after buying the ingredients, Yun Bixue couldn't help but ask, "Limo, you rejected attending so many dinner gatherings. Don't you feel that it's a pity?"

"Why would I think so?"

Yun Bixue replied stiffly, "It must be pretty fun to have so many people gathered together. Also, you can bond with your colleagues over dinner."

Xie Limo suddenly realized what Yun Bixue had been thinking. He caressed her head and lowered his head to whisper into her ear, "In my heart, my wife is the most important."

Yun Bixue thumped Xie Limo's chest playfully and said, "The others are watching." As she spoke, she covered her ears. They were burning hot from embarra.s.sment.

Xie Limo's heart wavered as he watched her adorable expressions. His body tensed up, and he removed his arm from her waist. In the next instant, he wrapped her in his embrace, and his breath hitched.

They hadn't been intimate for the past few days. Looking at her alluring and enticing expressions now, he felt rather uncomfortable.

Yun Bixue struggled momentarily, rubbing against him. Xie Limo held her down and said, "Xue, stop moving."

Yun Bixue could feel his bodily reactions and instantly understood what he was trying to do. Her cheeks burned as she said, "Erm, let's go home."

Xie Limo lowered his head and kissed her lips. "Okay, let's go home first."

At that moment, a sharp pair of eyes was watching the two of them. After Yun Bixue and Xie Limo arrived home, he finally stepped out of his car.

It was An Yexuan, whom they haven't met in a long time. He threw the cigarette in his hands on the ground. It seemed as though his mind was just as cloudy as the smoke from his cigarette.
