Chapter 545
After deciding to stay in Beijing and wait for the results, Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun stayed at the Zhang family’s home and didn’t venture out much. The main reason was that they knew the National Security Office would be thoroughly investigating Peng Huijing, and neither of them wanted to cause any distractions at this sensitive moment.
For the past few days, the three members of the Zhang family had stayed at home as well. Grandpa Zhang even skipped his usual morning routine of going to the courtyard to play chess. Instead, they all sat together, chatted, and listened to the radio.
Back in their room, Su Xiaoxiao would enter the space to brew the ingredients for Whitening Pills and Moisture Pills. After the medicine cooled down and lost its odor, she would bring it out and make the pills with Jiang Yexun. They spent the next three days in this routine.
One evening, Su Xiaoxiao softly leaned against Jiang Yexun’s back, resting her chin on his shoulder, and gently rubbed her face against his slightly rough skin.
“We haven’t contacted Mom in almost ten days. We should call her to let her know we’re okay, or she’ll be worried.”
“Alright, we’ll do it now.” Jiang Yexun turned his head and placed a kiss on her red lips. The soft, enticing fragrance made him, who only intended a light kiss, deepen the kiss unexpectedly.
Their warm breaths intertwined, and they both gradually became a bit uncontrolled. However, since they were at someone else’s house, Jiang Yexun ultimately restrained himself. He gently pressed his forehead against Su Xiaoxiao’s smooth, flawless forehead, panting roughly.
His rough thumb brushed away the moisture on her reddened lips.
“Be good, just wait a little longer. Once Peng Huijing’s matter is resolved, I’ll make it up to you for these few days, and for the previous times as well,” Jiang Yexun said hoarsely, his voice full of desire.
But hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao, who had been caught up in the moment, suddenly became calm.
“No… it’s alright! We really don’t need to be doing something every day. A little break isn’t bad either,” she hurriedly reassured him.
However, Jiang Yexun wasn’t satisfied. He lightly bit her slightly swollen lips, teasing her, “Have you gotten tired of me?”
“I’m just… having it enough for now, not tired of you,” Su Xiaoxiao grumbled.
Then, realizing what she had just said, her face flushed bright red.
“Why are you saying such things? I just think people should know when to stop, not overdo it, or it could harm the body,” Su Xiaoxiao retorted, slightly annoyed.
Seeing that his little wife was genuinely upset, Jiang Yexun stopped teasing her. He kissed her swollen lips lightly and held her close to calm her down. After a while, the two went to Grandma Wang to let her know they were about to make the call.
Although Grandma Wang said they could use the study, the study was a more private and confidential area. Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun didn’t want to cause any trouble, so they ultimately decided to use the landline in the living room. Grandma Wang and Grandpa Zhang gave them some space and went to the kitchen to check if dinner was ready.
When they dialed the number, the guard at the entrance answered. After confirming who they were looking for, he immediately ran to the family quarters to fetch the person.
It took about fifteen minutes before the phone call was returned.
“Mom!” Jiang Yexun immediately greeted her.
On the other end, Aunt Guo quickly responded, “Yexun, how’s everything in Beijing? You haven’t caused any trouble with the elders, have you?”
“No,” Jiang Yexun replied with a smile.
Aunt Guo let out a sigh of relief, but then asked with some concern, “How’s Xiaoxiao? I hope you’re taking good care of my daughter-in-law! Let me speak to Xiaoxiao.”
Jiang Yexun, seeing how his mother didn’t trust him, couldn’t help but laugh, but he handed the phone to Su Xiaoxiao.
“Mom wants to talk to you.”
