Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 583 - 585: They Truly Make Others Envious

Xia Xiao was very satisfied with Gao Jiaxing’s devotion. A gem is easy to get, but a lover is hard to find. The system of arranged marriage had subjected women to thousands of years of submissiveness and weakness, and it also led many men to constantly seek new love interests, failing to be devoted.

Though Gao Jiaxing was very busy at times, making his encounters with Xia Xiao infrequent, he was still a family-oriented man who took excellent care of his parents, his wife, and his children.

The luckiest thing for Xia Xiao was marrying Gao Jiaxing and having such a warm and comforting family-in-law like the Gao family, particularly her father-in-law Gao Guoqiang and mother-in-law Zheng Xianghong, which made her feel incredibly fortunate.

With kind in-laws, a loving husband, harmonious children, and bright and adorable grandchildren, Xia Xiao slowly fell asleep on Gao Jiaxing’s chest, a smile of happiness forming at the corners of her mouth.

Listening to Xia Xiao’s steady breathing, Gao Jiaxing lowered his head to look at her chest and noticed a suspicious silver strand at the corner of her mouth.

Gao Jiaxing smiled indulgently at Xia Xiao, "At your age, and you still drool."

Saying this, Gao Jiaxing grabbed the camera next to him and snapped a picture of Xia Xiao’s sleeping face.

The next morning, while watching the sunrise, Xia Xiao played with the camera, but was startled to see her own sleeping face upon playback.

"When did you take this? Weren’t you asleep?" she asked, unaware of the photo being taken.

"I took it while you were sleeping," Gao Jiaxing took the camera, pleased with the photo and considered whether to print it out for keeps.

"Delete it, delete it," Xia Xiao quickly said.

"It’s nice, why delete it?"

Gao Jiaxing replied and Xia Xiao said, "It’d be so embarrassing if someone else saw it."

"No worries, I’ll take care of it when we get home," Gao Jiaxing assured her.

Xia Xiao glared at him, "Then I’ll capture your nude photo."

Gao Jiaxing said, "Why capture it? You can see it anytime you want, we can go back to the room now if you like, watch however you want, as much as you want."

Xia Xiao was speechless; what could you say to someone so shameless?

Gao Jiaxing took a few more pictures of Xia Xiao’s stunned expression. She reacted and started chasing him around the beach to snatch the camera, both running and laughing, their smiles bright yet warm.

Gao Jiaxing looked robust, mature, and charming. Xia Xiao, still graceful and beautiful, her long hair and dress fluttering in the wind, cast a dazzling figure in the brilliance of the sunrise.

At that moment, Shao Bing and his wife were also at the beach, seeing Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao from a distance, and couldn’t help but admire their carefree spirit and youthful hearts.

Anyone looking at the distant couple playfully chasing each other would never guess they were both over fifty. It just goes to show everyone has their own uniqueness; touching his face, Shao Bing realized he wasn’t that old either and, holding his wife’s hand enviously looking into the distance, thought that he too should keep a youthful heart.

Indeed, the mindset is most important.

"They are really enviable," Shao Bing’s wife couldn’t help but admire.

As Shao Bing and his wife walked away, Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing, tired from the chase, rested on a large rock. Xia Xiao, her face flushed, breathlessly glared at Gao Jiaxing.

"Thirsty, huh? Let’s go get something to drink and have breakfast," Gao Jiaxing said.

"I can’t walk anymore," Xia Xiao shook her head, needing a good rest after running so much, something she had not done in a long time.

"I’ll carry you," Gao Jiaxing stooped in front of her.

Xia Xiao waved her hand, "No, I want to walk on my own." The beach was getting crowded, and she did not want to be watched.

"Then I’ll help you," Gao Jiaxing offered his hand and Xia Xiao leaned on him as they slowly walked back. "I used to deny getting old, but now I have to accept it, my body isn’t as good as it used to be. I used to be able to walk long distances, run three thousand meters with no problem, but now a short run wears me out."

"You’ve just exercised too little. Look at me, I could still fight a tiger," Gao Jiaxing clenched his hand, and Xia Xiao could feel the strength in his muscles.

Alright, Xia Xiao had to admit, she really hadn’t exercised in the past year or two.

"Every morning, go to the park with mom and dad, walk, run, breathe some fresh air..." Gao Jiaxing began to nag, then realized that during his vacation at home, he hadn’t gone to the park with Xia Xiao either.

"Let’s rest after having a good breakfast, then we can go play badminton."

As soon as Gao Jiaxing finished, Xia Xiao nodded in agreement.

Soon they were at Shao Bing’s house; Shao Bing and his wife had only one daughter, who was in high school and not yet on vacation, so she wasn’t at home.

It was partly because his wife had given birth to a daughter and hadn’t had another child that Shao Bing’s parents were unhappy. Shao Bing’s wife was a fisherman’s daughter, a local, so Shao Bing had moved here with his wife to develop their life.

After breakfast, Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao returned to the hotel to rest. In the afternoon, they planned to meet with Shao Bing and his wife for badminton.

Xia Xiao hadn’t expected that Shao Bing’s wife, Liang Fenglan, would be so good at sports; whether it was basketball, badminton, volleyball, or swimming, she was very skilled. In comparison, Xia Xiao felt quite lacking.

When playing doubles, Gao Jiaxing alone was enough to beat Shao Bing and his wife, but in singles, Gao Jiaxing decisively defeated Shao Bing. When it was Xia Xiao’s turn, she was utterly outplayed by Liang Fenglan, making Xia Xiao feel quite inferior.

"You’re amazing," Xia Xiao praised Liang Fenglan, not expecting Shao Bing’s wife to be so talented and physically fit. If she had been trained as a sports athlete from a young age, perhaps she could have been a gold medalist.
