Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 188: Chance Encounter with an Old Friend (1)

"It’s too late, staying up is bad for your skin. Be good, watch it tomorrow." Shen Lingxing walked up to the dejected Mi Jing, rubbing her hair with his big hand, and said.

"I can’t sleep if I don’t finish watching it!" Mi Jing lay on the sofa with a bitter face, protesting Shen Lingxing’s "autocracy" with her actions.

"If you can’t sleep, then don’t. I’ll work out with you." As he spoke, Shen Lingxing picked Mi Jing up. Mi Jing immediately felt a chill in her heart, silently grumbling to herself: If staying up is bad for my skin, why do you keep me up every night until late?

But, although a little complaint lingered in her heart, Mi Jing ultimately didn’t resist. She resignedly stretched out her hands and circled them around Shen Lingxing’s neck as he carried her into the bathroom.

When they came out of the bathroom, Mi Jing’s hair was wet and sticky, she was only wearing a thick bathrobe. As she raised her hands to wipe her hair, the bathrobe lifted, exposing her slender and fair legs completely to Shen Lingxing’s gaze. He couldn’t tear his eyes away and lost interest in the travel brochure in his hand.

"Wife, aren’t you cold dressed like that?" Shen Lingxing said this completely against his true feelings, his gaze almost glued to Mi Jing. He wished she dressed even more revealingly so he could feast his eyes.

"Just got out of the shower, not feeling cold!" Mi Jing put the towel aside, casually replied while taking out the hairdryer from the drawer.

Buzz——

The noisy sound of the hairdryer quickly chased away the stillness in the room. Mi Jing focused on blow-drying her hair while Shen Lingxing watched her without blinking.

The white bathrobe was very form-fitting, and with the belt tightly tied into a bow around her waist, it didn’t hide her good figure at all but made her look even more attractive. Especially now, as she was slightly turned towards Shen Lingxing, her curves were beautifully outlined, looking absolutely gorgeous.

Shen Lingxing’s gaze lingered on Mi Jing’s body, emanating with heat.

Noticing Shen Lingxing’s heated gaze, Mi Jing felt a little pleased with herself. Being watched by this man with such a passionate look was definitely a confirmation of her charm! ƒгeewebnovёl_com

After putting the hairdryer back, Mi Jing turned around, walked to the bed, smiled at Shen Lingxing and then climbed into bed.

"Enjoying the view?" Mi Jing slipped under the covers, raised her sharp chin, and teased.

"Of course not." Shen Lingxing pulled Mi Jing into his arms with a silent sigh, trying hard to push away any impure thoughts.

After a while, Shen Lingxing picked up the travel brochure on the bed and asked, "Thinking about traveling?"

He even noticed that?

Looking at the colorful brochure in Shen Lingxing’s hand, Mi Jing’s pretty face immediately showed a hint of surprise.

This brochure was something she had brought back when she went to the travel agency with Mi Wan. She had casually looked through it and then left it on the coffee table downstairs. She didn’t expect Shen Lingxing not only noticed it but also specifically picked it up to ask her.

"Not really." Mi Jing took the brochure, opened the page introducing the Maldives, and said, "Our family goes on a trip once a year. When my sister and I were still in school, my parents took us. After my sister started working, she took the three of us, and then I graduated and started working, it was my sister and me taking our parents on trips. This time my sister is planning to take my parents to the Maldives, leaving in a few days."

"Are you not going?" Shen Lingxing looked down at Mi Jing’s calm face and asked tentatively, "Or should I take some time off to go with you?"

"No need, my parents don’t want me to go with them, so you won’t have the chance to go either."

It’s the end of the year, so Mi Jing guessed Shen Lingxing must be busy with work. Besides managing hospital affairs, he also had to manage the Shen Family’s jewelry company. Even though he came home on time almost every day, he still had to work overtime in the study. How could he have time to go on a trip? Moreover, this time it’s going abroad, which would take at least a week, and by the time they’re back, it would be close to the Lunar New Year.

"Why don’t your parents want you to go?" Shen Lingxing asked.

"It’s the first year after our marriage, so of course, I have to stay home and prepare for the New Year. Although we don’t have much to prepare, getting gifts for the elders is essential. Besides, Ji seems to be going with my sister, and if I went too, I’d just be an extra lightbulb. That’s why my mom particularly dislikes me."

The last sentence, Mi Jing said with particular resentment, her pouting face looked especially cute in Shen Lingxing’s eyes.

"In the future, I’ll take you wherever you want to go."

Shen Lingxing’s clear, pleasant voice floated down from above. Hearing this, Mi Jing smiled and responded cheerfully, "Sure! Are you free tomorrow?"

"I have an important meeting in the morning, but I’m free in the afternoon. What’s up?"

"Mrs. Zhou said that Grandma accidentally broke the vase Grandpa gave her, and she’s been pretty down and eating less these days. So I want to make a vase for her. You should know what the vase looks like, right?" Mi Jing asked looking at Shen Lingxing.

"I know."

Grandma had always treasured that vase, never letting anyone else touch it, always cleaning it herself. Perhaps because of her old age, she sometimes couldn’t muster the strength, which is probably why she accidentally broke it.

Thinking this, Shen Lingxing frowned slightly and asked, "When did Mrs. Zhou tell you this?"

"This morning, Mrs. Zhou called and told me. She said you were busy with work, so she didn’t bother you."

It had been like this for a while now. Whenever anything happened with Grandma, Mrs. Zhou would call Mi Jing, and Mi Jing would always resolve the issues promptly and effectively, whether it was cheering Grandma up or buying food for her. Just like this time, she even thought of making a new vase herself.

In just two or three months, not only did he, Mrs. Zhou, and Grandma like her, but they had also started to rely on her a bit.

"Wife." Shen Lingxing murmured, putting Mi Jing more closely into his embrace.

At first, he just thought she was pleasing to the eye and felt comfortable around her, but now he increasingly felt how wonderful it was to have a wife who he could hold in his arms, sleep with in the bed, and who helped him out with things he sometimes overlooked.

"Hmm?" Mi Jing lazily hummed while holding him.

"What were you thinking about just now?"

"When?"

"When you were blow-drying your hair."

Mi Jing responded calmly, saying lightly, "Nothing much, just random thoughts. I felt men are unreliable, but my dad is a special exception, making me believe that good men exist in this world."

Actually, she was thinking about Ruan Ruan just now. But Mi Jing didn’t want to say too much about her private matters to Shen Lingxing since Ruan Pianran valued her privacy. So she took this narrow question and turned it into a broader topic, planning to have a casual chat with Shen Lingxing.
