Chapter 6, The Troops at the Gates (Part 2)

The relatives who came to celebrate the wedding kept staring at her belly, thinking that she was marrying due to being pregnant

God, no more proof is needed, let the storm come with greater intensity, she can withstand it

Xuan Xiao followed down, interlocking her fingers, standing outside the door and gazing at her deeply

Chi Xiaoying felt as if she had been scalded; her hand shook violently, causing her phone to slip into the laundry basket. She nervously turned her head to look towards the bedroom, which was very quiet, and only then did she let out a sigh of relief

But today it is not possible; upon hearing Bai Yuan's warning, listening to Ning Yi's hint, and seeing the lipstick mark and fragrance on Xuan Xiao, she can no longer allow desire to override her emotions

Due to differing rest schedules, they generally engage in intimate relations in the early morning. At this time, men are particularly energetic, and the quality of their intimacy is exceptionally high. They will entwine in bed for a long time, captivated by this physical contact, and then proceed to the bathroom to wash each other.

Xuan Xiao changed into slippers and walked in. He did not notice Chi Xiaoying standing in the kitchen. Chi Xiaoying saw him, noticing the bright red lipstick mark on his cheek, along with the lingering scents of alcohol, smoke, and a hint of fragrance in the air

She never looks at Xuanxiao's phone, absolutely respecting all of his privacy

Xuan Xiao, who had just walked into the bedroom, suddenly discovered that there was no one on the bed, and immediately became anxious

Therefore, she has carefully taken contraceptive measures for four years, not daring to complicate her life too much

Tonight, due to the rain, I sleep even less soundly. I took the medicine in time, and the fever has subsided. However, in the latter half of the night, I felt my tonsils swelling and my throat was dry and burning. I had no strength to get out of bed, hoping to hold on until dawn. I dozed off for a while in a daze, but then woke up again.

Xuan Xiao is blinded by kindness, taking compassion to the extreme. One day, he will awaken.

The unpleasant odor of fermented Master Kong instant noodles wafts through the bathroom

Xuan Xiao is very outstanding and exceptional, and she has also shown kindness to her family. She has already elevated herself by being with him. In this marriage, she appears to be in a very disadvantaged position, like a poor person who is pitied, residing in the large house of the wealthy. If she cannot become self-sufficient, she will lose even the slightest bit of dignity.

Sex and love can indeed be separated. Chi Xiaoying often thinks this way

She had no choice but to get out of bed, and without turning on the light, she groped her way to the kitchen to pour a cup of warm water. Just as she held it in her hand, she heard the sound of a key turning in the door.

Xuan Xiao turned around without saying a word

"Why are you not speaking?" Xuan Xiao's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, but upon noticing the unusual flush on her face, he quickly reached out to touch her forehead, "Are you really cold?"

She inexplicably reached out her hand and took the phone from the laundry basket. Who could be sending text messages so late? Is it a spam message? Curiously, she opened it and pressed the keys

My happiest moments are those spent with you, while my most painful moment is now, as I think of you, and who are you thinking of?

Chi Xiaoying's body suddenly tensed up, every hair on her body standing on end. It was not the desire and softness that surged forth, but rather an indescribable feeling of disgust and resistance.

Xuan Xiao has always been a commander; she is a subordinate who obeys orders

There is ultimately a distinction between humans and animals

Chi Xiaoying is very resolute regarding her work; she did not heed Xuan Xiao's advice

I am here, "Chi Xiaoying replied hoarsely.

The combination of Yan Nannan and this person's mobile phone is "I love you for a lifetime," truly reaching the pinnacle of romance

She shook her head, turned off the light, and walked into the bedroom

Who is this again? From the tone, it seems to be someone who has a secret crush on Xuanxiao, getting dangerously obsessed.

Chi Xiaoying closed her eyes briefly; Xuan Xiao's market performance is indeed quite good. These matters do not require her further inquiry and can be left for Yan Nannan to handle in the future

After Xuan Xiao earned money, he allowed her to resign and stay at home to do things she liked. He knew that when she initially applied to the engineering college, it was because Chi's father wanted her to choose a major that would lead to good employment. In reality, Chi Xiaoying's true passion was journalism, and becoming a reporter was her dream

Xuan Xiao did not insist either

Only she remained awake

In the sweltering heat of August, wearing anything results in a profuse sweat.

Suddenly, the room was brightly lit

She is a poor person and cannot accept such charity. In fact, it is unnecessary; from the day the two of them came together, she had already prepared for a breakup

Therefore, no matter how outstanding, exceptional, or handsome Xuan Xiao is, it is not permissible to develop feelings for him

He wouldn't want it tonight, would he

For four years, the lives of the two individuals have remained quite tranquil. In bed, they share a harmonious connection. When Xuan Xiao holds her, enveloping her beneath him, she cannot help but become entranced, immersed and intoxicated by his caresses, accepting and responding, scattered like broken pieces, unable to be pieced together for a long time, and can only allow Xuan Xiao to take from her repeatedly

"Ding dong," the sound of a text message suddenly rang out from the corner, startling her. She looked down and saw that it was Xuan Xiao's phone, which she had placed in the laundry basket while changing clothes after taking a shower.

Chi Xiaoying was momentarily at a loss for how to react, her mind in a heated turmoil. Suddenly, she recalled how he had just been with Yan Nannan like that. The instant noodles she had eaten that evening surged back up her esophagus to her mouth. She pushed Xuan Xiao away, jumped off the bed, rushed to the bathroom, and leaned over the toilet, expelling the bitter bile.

Xuan Xiao wrapped herself in the blanket, facing outward, while she burrowed into her own blanket, facing inward, and they both fell asleep.

Many people envy her good fortune, having a father-in-law who is the president of a high court, a mother-in-law who is a university professor, and a husband who is capable of making money, a blessing that takes several lifetimes to accumulate

She slowly brought the teacup closer to her lips, closed her eyes, and sipped it little by little. With each swallow, her throat hurt terribly.

Chi Xiaoying waved her hand and took a step back, "It's just a slight inflammation of the tonsils, a good sleep will fix it. You should wash up and rest early, oh, it's getting late." She looked up and saw that the hour hand on the cuckoo clock in the living room pointed to 2.

She has always been very obedient, prioritizing cooperation with Xuanxiao in every aspect. After two years of dating and four years of marriage, she has hardly ever gone against Xuanxiao, except for her own work

The sound of "ding-dong" rang out again

She looked at the pale-faced reflection of herself in the mirror and let out a soft sigh

Thus, marriage

Then, Chi Xiaoying prepares breakfast while Xuan Xiao will check the news in the study

Xuan Xiao has just returned from a secret meeting with Yan Nan Nan, feeling a sense of guilt towards her. What is he trying to conceal? What is he hoping to make amends for?

The last four digits of the mobile phone number are 1314, which is humorously referred to online as the romantic number "one life, one world," unlike Yan Nannan's 520—"I love you"

What she could do for him was to unconditionally let go, sincerely wish him well, and thereby also free herself completely

Therefore, no matter how affluent material life may be, one must never develop attachments.

"Xiao Xuan, you should sleep in the study tonight, as I am afraid I might infect you."

This is a hint of Xuan Xiao's desire for intimacy

Xuan Xiao could not stand the smell on himself either. He nodded and said, "Then you should quickly return to bed. I will rinse off a bit and come back soon."

Chi Xiaoying's breasts are not very full, but their shape is particularly beautiful, easily grasped by one hand, firm, with pink areolas. When touched, a natural warmth fills the heart. When he holds them, he also loves to place her delicate hand between his legs

"Tonsillitis is not contagious." Xuanxiao glared at her with annoyance

Not long after, the bed beside her sank. Xuan Xiao did not get into her own quilt but directly burrowed into Chi Xiaoying's quilt, tightly embracing her. Her hand instinctively slipped under the nightgown, reaching for her chest

He carefully moved her into his arms, turned over to lie on top of her, rubbing his firmness against her softness, and planted kisses densely on her cheek.

Are you asleep? It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know without disturbing you that at this moment, I am thinking of you

"Xuan Xiao, I am not feeling well." There is no need for you to feel any guilt towards me, just say it directly, I will not stop you, Chi Xiaoying quietly said to herself

"Today, I particularly want to..." Xuanxiao, under the influence of alcohol, spoke with a magnetic voice that was languid like velvet. His hand caressed her delicate, smooth skin, and inside him, it felt as if a volcano had suddenly erupted, the scalding lava about to engulf him. "I gently..."

In the six years they were together, Xuan Xiao never said the word "love" to her, nor did he write it. Their first kiss, embrace, and lovemaking all happened at the same moment. Two years later, Xuan Xiao said, "Xiao Ying, it's time for us to get married"

At that time, she had just graduated and had entered the design institute as a draftsman, and she got married just before starting work

Chi Xiaoying smiled, poured another cup of tea, and walked into the bedroom. She thoughtfully arranged the quilt for Xuan Xiao, wrapped herself into a bundle, turned to face inward, and closed her eyes tightly

Chi Xiaoying has always had a light sleep, waking up at the slightest noise

After she finished vomiting, she smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Ha, I ate too many noodles. You go ahead and sleep, I will boil some water to drink."
