Chapter 192
Aunt Guo listened to Su Xiaoxiao’s words, still somewhat confused. However, she believed that Xiaoxiao wouldn’t just make things up, and since her son didn’t object, she nodded seriously, “Alright, don’t worry, I will be extra careful.”
“Alright, let’s go have lunch,” Jiang Yexun reminded from the side.
Aunt Guo initially wanted to say, with the neighbors causing such a commotion, how could she still have the mood to eat. However, when she saw her future daughter-in-law heading into the kitchen, she swallowed her words. Well, facing those troublesome family members next door, they had to learn to let go, or they would end up being frustrated sooner or later.
After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun returned to their respective rooms to sleep. However, without the familiar scent by their side, they tossed and turned on bed for a while before they could fall asleep.
Finally, they decided to get up early, collect the stones in the wasteland, and return home to rest. But as soon as they opened the door, they heard some commotion from the next room.
They both turned to look and locked eyes with each other. Jiang Yexun’s cold gaze softened, and he saw his sweetheart extend her hand towards him, flashing a sly smile.
He knew exactly what Su Xiaoxiao wanted to do. His body reacted faster than his brain, and he walked over to her.
As soon as he approached without saying a word, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed his large hand and pulled him into the room.
The familiar scent of a soft and tender face against his chest made him involuntarily sigh.
However, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself, so he quickly consoled her, “Be good, let’s go to work first, and we can cuddle when we come back.”
Although he said that, his arms remained wrapped tightly around Su Xiaoxiao’s delicate waist. It was clear that he was saying one thing but meaning another.
“I don’t want to,” Su Xiaoxiao whimpered softly, tiptoeing and brushing her lips lightly against his.
It was fate that he fell into her hands, she thought.
With her two restless little hands, she was eager to undress Jiang Yexun. However, his long military coat was not easy to unbutton, and he had even fastened the buttons before leaving. This made it difficult for her to proceed.
Su Xiaoxiao grew impatient due to the layers of clothing blocking her way. She even bit his thin lips in frustration.
“Be good, don’t rush,” Jiang Yexun reassured, unfastening the buttons himself to facilitate her exploration.
Their warm skin pressed against each other, and both of them let out soft moans. However, Su Xiaoxiao was satisfied, while Jiang Yexun felt a bit cold.
He was worried that she might still be weak. After all, staying in the room heated by the firewall, her hands should have warmed up. He was just about to suggest having the doctor check on her when he realized that she had detected his distraction. Her small hand scratched at his waist.
“Mmm…” Jiang Yexun groaned and instinctively pushed his back against her scratch.
Sensing that the girl wanted to leave, he sealed her lips with his own, and the door was locked. He picked up the girl in his arms.
Su Xiaoxiao jumped in surprise, and her hands hung on his neck. But Jiang Yexun was afraid he couldn’t control himself, so he didn’t put her on the bed but instead let her sit in his lap. His arms firmly encircled Su Xiaoxiao as if he was holding onto a precious treasure, wishing to merge her into his flesh and blood.
Until he felt the girl in his arms gradually losing her breath, he thought about moving away a little.
“Are you humoring me?” she playfully complained in a soft voice and snuggled closer to him.
Her infatuated and clingy appearance melted Jiang Yexun’s heart, making him feel sweet and tender, almost as if he was melting.
“Then, should we kiss again?” Jiang Yexun chuckled and began to kiss her again, trying to accommodate her, despite knowing that they didn’t have much time.
But they got carried away, and in the end, they couldn’t resist connecting with each other despite trying to stay calm. Finally, Jiang Yexun had no choice but to put the girl aside.
“Let’s go to work first, and we can continue later,” he hoarsely coaxed.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked her watery eyes and looked at him with a dreamy gaze. But the distance between them had allowed her to regain some of her sanity.
She secretly looked at the man beside her and realized he was gazing at her with intense eyes. She quickly shifted away.
“Let’s go to work first,” Su Xiaoxiao said, her voice soft and tender.
Since they had both come here today, they had to earn back their share of work to avoid being accused of idleness by others.
However, as soon as they arrived at the work place, some people approached them.
“Jiang Yexun, I heard that you were awarded a job this time. Are you going to become a city dweller soon?” a man asked.
“Being a city dweller or a village dweller makes no difference,” Jiang Yexun replied coldly. If the little educated youth cared about the distinction, he was willing to strive to become a city dweller. But since she didn’t, he had no reason to worry about it either.
However, the others didn’t know what he was thinking, and they thought he was showing off. They taunted him, but no one dared to touch Jiang Yexun’s brow. They could only laugh and ask, “So, once you go over there, you’ll have a formal job?”
“Yes, it’s a formal job,” Jiang Yexun nodded in agreement.
Their eyes were filled with envy.
Of course, some of them were thinking about whether Jiang Yexun would sell his job. After all, while there were jobs being sold outside, they hardly ever reached this place. Every family had many children, and one job wasn’t enough to share with their own kids. Even if their own children had enough, their relatives were still waiting for a share. Unless they were lucky enough to encounter a situation where all their relatives had unclear minds and wanted to take a big advantage. Otherwise, no one would take out their jobs and offend relatives on both sides.
