Chapter 460
The two of them breathed in unison, their lips and teeth intertwining, and the air around them gradually grew warmer.
But no matter how hot his hand was, Jiang Yexun couldn’t forget the doctor’s advice to abstain for a week.
“No,” he gritted his teeth, grabbing her hand that was trying to wander lower and holding it down firmly.
Su Xiaoxiao lifted her head, her eyes sparkling with a bewitching springtime glow, as she glared at her man with dissatisfaction.
Looking at her seductive little face, Jiang Yexun felt like he was about to burst from the pain. However, he still had to grit his teeth and refuse.
“The doctor said one week, there are three more days left. I’ll owe you for now,” he said in a hoarse voice, trying to appease her.
“How many times have you owed me? Your credibility is bankrupt with me!” Su Xiaoxiao retorted, knowing that Jiang Yexun would never make light of her body. So no matter what she did today, it was impossible to continue.
What a dog of a man—teasing her and not following through!
The more Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her hand and scratched his chest in frustration.
“Ugh.” Jiang Yexun let out a low, suppressed grunt. The marks left on his chest only fueled Su Xiaoxiao’s fury even more.
She simply rolled off the bed and jumped to her feet.
“Xiaoxiao, don’t be mad. I promise, in two days, I’ll make it up to you—at least three times a day!” Jiang Yexun quickly grabbed his clothes and chased after her.
“I wasn’t angry about that,” Su Xiaoxiao retorted, her face flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment.
Did she look like that kind of person?
She was simply upset about how Jiang Yexun kept teasing her without fulfilling his promises.
“I know, I know. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have teased you when I knew your body wasn’t quite ready yet. I promise I won’t do such a stupid thing again. Okay?” Jiang Yexun raised three fingers, looking particularly sincere as he made a vow to Su Xiaoxiao.
It was stupid, alright!
Standing in a chilly room wearing just a thin layer of clothing hadn’t helped him calm down at all.
“Hmph, let’s see how you perform!” Su Xiaoxiao huffed, then turned back toward the bed.
She began to put on her clothes, one piece at a time, while Jiang Yexun stood by, helping her.
Once she was dressed, he rushed to fetch some hot water to help his little wife wash up.
After they finished all these tasks, they finally headed downstairs.
When they entered the living room, they saw the whole family gathered there. Mrs. Su and Aunt Guo, along with Su Xiaoxiao’s two cousins, were knitting sweaters. Judging by the patterns, it looked like they were making them for the four little children.
The men were sitting together chatting—about everything and nothing, from the most trivial to the most important.
When they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look.
“Happy New Year! Xiaoxiao, you’re up so early today,” Aunt Guo said with a smile, standing up and pulling two red envelopes out of her pocket.
Without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun to come closer, she walked over to them and handed them each an envelope.
“Mom, we’re already married, we’re adults now,” Su Xiaoxiao said, attempting to push the red envelope back.
There was an unwritten rule in their family: no matter how old the children were, once they were married, they no longer received New Year’s money. However, if you were still unmarried in your twenties, you were still eligible to receive red envelopes.
“What do you mean, ’adult’ or ’child’? To me, you’ll always be my children. Take it, don’t argue,” Aunt Guo said, holding Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and gently patting it.
Mr. and Mrs. Su, each holding two red envelopes, walked over as well.
“In the new year, you two children should live well together. Whatever happens, make sure to discuss things with each other, understand?” Mrs. Su said with a smile.
