Yun Bixue couldn't find any more words to say, but she still wanted to listen to his voice . Sometimes, when she missed him, her heart would feel slightly better just after hearing his voice . “Hubby, erm… How are things over there?”

“I'm in the middle of working on it . After I settle them, I'll return right away . I can't pick you up after work, but Xie Qi and Xie Ba will do so . Stay safe, alright?”

Yun Bixue listened to Xie Limo's nagging tone and leaned her cheek against her hand . She smiled sweetly and said, “I'm no longer a child . I know . ”

Hearing Yun Bixue's dismissive tone, Xie Limo replied seriously, “My wife, tell me, when have you not made my heart worry for you? You're still taking things lightly . ”

“Yes, don't worry . I'll listen to you and stay safe . ”

“Also, be careful of w.a.n.g Qianjin . I'm worried that he's still in Ning An City, although I haven't been able to locate him . ”

“Yes, I'll be careful and stay alert . I'll go home right after work, and I won't wander around . ”

Xie Limo answered in satisfaction, “That's my obedient girl . ”

After ending the call, Yun Bixue looked at her phone . Her heart still felt empty . She kept wanting to call him again and talk to him some more . This feeling was almost beyond her control as she tried to suppress it .

She shook her head vigorously and instructed w.a.n.g Man to pa.s.s all her work to her . She believed that by keeping herself occupied with work, she wouldn't keep thinking about it .

Meanwhile, in Zi Bei City, Xie Limo looked at his phone and realized that there were about six missed calls—they were all from his wife hours ago . Earlier, he had switched his phone to silent mode . No wonder she called Xie Liu and sounded rather unhappy .

Thinking about how his wife's eyes would glisten whenever she was angry, his heart grew soft as he browsed through her photos on his cell phone . After seeing her on those photos, his heart felt rather comforted .

He didn't know how long he had been looking at them . After he heard knocking on the door, he then looked away from his phone and turned to face the door .

Three days later, Xie Limo finally returned to Ning An City after settling the matters in Zi Bei City .

He didn't inform Yun Bixue of his schedule and thought of coming back to give her a surprise . In the end, he saw Yun Bixue sleeping on the sofa when he returned home .

It was five in the morning, and he knew that she had slept the entire night on the sofa .

At this sight, Xie Limo's body emanated a cold aura . His gaze alone could almost freeze the air .

He walked slowly to the sofa and gently caressed Yun Bixue's hair, his heart turning soft as it ached incredibly .

Yun Bixue felt someone beside her, and she opened her eyes in a daze . “I must be dreaming again,” she murmured in a groggy voice . After saying those words, she shut her eyes and continued sleeping .

Those few words pierced right through Xie Limo's heart . His hands trembled, and his gaze was filled with intense tenderness as his heart ached for her . His brows were knitted tightly together as he sighed to himself . “What a silly girl . Always making my heart ache for her . ”

Yun Bixue heard his voice and opened her eyes again . After rubbing her eyes with her hands, she asked, “Am I dreaming?”

Xie Limo lowered his head and planted a kiss above her eyes . “Of course not . Silly girl, I'm back . ”

Yun Bixue immediately sat up and hugged Xie Limo around his neck . “For real? You're back?” She really, really missed him, but she couldn't put into words this feeling of yearning .

“Yes . If you don't believe me, you can try pinching and see if you're dreaming . You must be really groggy from your sleep . ” Xie Limo's voice was filled with so much indulgence and love .

Indeed, Yun Bixue reached out her fingers and pinched . Xie Limo gasped . This girl had pinched him instead!
