Chapter 50 The Old Man would Go on a Business TripIn FLY Dance Club, watching Ouyang Ziqian and Xiao Man dancing in a well-coordinated way, Xia Xiaoluo could not help praising their dance in her heart and she felt ashamed of her inferiority. At four o’clock in the afternoon, Xia Xiaoluo left the college and she went to the market and bought some vegetables that Ling Tianyi liked to eat. After that, she finally returned to the apartment.
Entering the room, Xia Xiaoluo heard some sound. Ling Tianyi would not possibly come back so early, so, was it a thief in the room?
Putting all the things down slightly, Xia Xiaoluo picked up a long-handled umbrella at the door. She then tiptoed into the bedroom following the sound. There was someone standing back to her. Towards this back, Xia Xiaoluo raised the umbrella, shouting, “Petty thief, let me beat you…”
“Ah!” Xia Xiaoluo was caught immediately with her arms crossing back her body.
“Idiot! Are you crazy?” Ling Tianyi’s fierce voice penetrated Xia Xiaoluo’s fragile eardrum.
Xia Xiaoluo was stunned. It turned out to be Ling Tianyi. How could this old man return home so early today? It was a bit abnormal!
However, Xia Xiaoluo did not have more time to think twice, for her arms really hurt so much that her face was almost out of shape.
“Ouch! It hurts! Quickly… let me off! My arms were almost broken! Please! Honey!” Xia Xiaoluo hurriedly begged for mercy.
Ling Tianyi loosened Xia Xiaoluo and asked unhappily with his arms akimbo, “Have you known that I am your husband? Didn’t you take me as a petty thief and tend to beat me?”
“No, I made a mistake with you. I didn’t expect that you may come back so early. Besides, you stood back to me. In the dim light in the bedroom, I mistook you.” Xia Xiaoluo bowed her head, looking like she had really made an unforgivable mistake.
“But now I can figure it out clearly that you are not the petty thief, but my husband!” Taking Ling Tianyi’s arm in her arms, Xia Xiaoluo acted spoilt before he flew into a rage, asking, “Honey, why did you come back so early today? But you’ll be lucky to enjoy good food, for I bought many vegetables to your liking today.”
Ling Tianyi had never been immune to Xia Xiaoluo if she spoke or act coquettishly. A glance of her bright smile had comforted his fiery temper.
“Okay, go to cook!” Ling Tianyi replied indifferently.
After Xia Xiaoluo was busy in the kitchen for a long time, there were finally a few decent dishes on the table, including meat, vegetables, and soup…
“Hubby, the meal is ready!” Xia Xiaoluo called Ling Tianyi in a sweet voice. He was still in the bedroom.
Ling Tianyi walked into the dining room in a lethargic way. There was a little flush on his face due to the shower just now. His short hair was disheveled and was dripping from time to time.
“Hubby, what I cooked today are all to your likings.” Xia Xiaoluo took over the big towel that Ling Tianyi used to dry his hair. After he took a seat, Xia Xiaoluo helped him with his dripping shorthair.
Ling Tianyi pulled Xia Xiaoluo’s wrist, saying, “Well, don’t bother to do this. It’ll be dry later. Take a seat, too. I’ll go on a business trip to City Z tomorrow and I will be back in half a month. You simply have a good meal together with me.”
“You’ll go on a business trip?”
“For half a month?”
“Leave tomorrow?”
Staring at Ling Tianyi with a light shining in her eyes, Xia Xiaoluo felt blissfully happy and her face was filled with excitement and joy.
Ling Tianyi slammed his chopsticks in his hand on the table, glaring at Xia Xiaoluo, who could not help but tremble with fear.
“Honey, what’s the matter with you again?” Xia Xiaoluo asked carefully.
“Xia Xiaoluo, you are so eager to make me leave, aren’t you? When I told you that I am going on a business trip, you did not say goodbye reluctantly to me, but be so happy. How did you treat me? Are you sending me as a plague?” He clenched his fists. All of a sudden, an impulse to beat someone hit him. Couldn’t this little girl comply with him? Why did she always irritate him?
Xia Xiaoluo also realized that she reacted too far. So, she hugged Ling Tianyi’s neck in an affectionate way and went staying into his arms, rubbing his angular cheeks.
“Honey, I didn’t mean it. I just felt very shocked without any preparation. Don’t be mad at me! Rest a.s.sured! When you are away, I’ll obey the rules and regulations, and work hard in the college. What’s more, I will definitely not catch a glance at any other handsome guys.
“Well! But what about after cla.s.s?”
“Go back home on time, and never wander outside.”
Ling Tianyi sighed, from which Xia Xiaoluo knew that he calmed down. In order to please him, Xia Xiaoluo quickly picked up a piece of sweet-and-sour spare ribs with chopsticks that Ling Tianyi liked, saying, “Honey, take a pork rib!”
Ling Tianyi opened his mouth, enjoying the service proved by his little wife. It was quite pleasant.
After dinner, Ling Tianyi continued to pack his bags. As soon as he finished it, he could not wait to pull his little wife to go to bed.
Ling Tianyi would go on a business trip tomorrow. At the thought of being alone without his wife, Ling Tianyi felt a void in his heart. So, he packed his bag as early as possible so that he could then enjoyed himself tonight.
Xia Xiaoluo also knew what Ling Tianyi meant. Thinking of being free in two weeks, however, Xia Xiaoluo then gave active cooperation.
After the intense exercises together with Xia Xiaoluo, Ling Tianyi took the exhausted little woman into the bathroom to take a shower.
Looking in the mirror, Xia Xiaoluo found countless hickeys on her body, so she said to Ling Tianyi with her lips pursed, “Honey, can you avoid leaving the hickeys on my body afterward? If they are found by others, they will laugh at me.”
“Xia Xiaoluo, if you dare to be scantily clad so that other people may see these hickeys, I won’t forgive you no matter they laugh at you or not.” Ling Tianyi raised his eyebrows and gave Xia Xiaoluo a faint threat.
Xia Xiaoluo’s face was full of grievance, saying, “Honey, it’s still hot now. Look at my neck! I don’t dare to wear a low-collar T-shirt. Don’t you want me to take high-collar one in such a hot day?”
“Then take a scarf!” Ling Tianyi said coldly.
“You really drove me mad to death.” Feeling very dissatisfied, Xia Xiaoluo hugged around Ling Tianyi’s neck and gave him a heavy kiss his neck, leaving a hickey there like a red strawberry.
“Humph! Let me see whether you will wear a high-collar shirt or take a scarf?” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smugly smile.
“Xia Xiaoluo!” Ling Tianyi shouted. Despite irritation appearing on his face, Ling Tianyi did not really fly into a rage in his heart. On the contrary, there was a feeling that was hard to describe, namely, he was very pleased.
Knowing that Ling Tianyi was not really irritated, Xia Xiaoluo smiled at him in an affectionate way. There was also a shock on her face.
“Rest a.s.sured! It’s enough for today.” Ling Tianyi finished, making Xia Xiaoluo finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, Ling Tianyi smiled and said to her in a charming but evil way, “We will make a final farewell tomorrow morning.”
“Ah!” Xia Xiaoluo exclaimed.
“Don’t refuse me.” Ling Tianyi kissed Xia Xiaoluo on her forehead. His movements and tone were full of affection for her.
“Baby, just now, I thought twice. You won’t need to live at home for the two weeks.” Ling Tianyi did not finish his words when Xia Xiaoluo interrupted him and asked, “Board on campus? Actually, I only went to my dorm once to put my package. As I stayed in the dorm for less than one hour, I am not familiar with my roommates.”
“Xia Xiaoluo, can you overcome your temper to do things in a careless way?” Ling Tianyi frowned and criticized the little woman in his arms with a gentle att.i.tude.
“Oh, I know, my fault.” Xia Xiaoluo said in a depressed way.
“What mistake did you make?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“You had said that I am not allowed to board on campus, but just now I said that I would live in the dorm. So, I was wrong. However, Hubby, you won’t allow me to live here nor in the dorm. Do you want me to go back to the room that I rented before? Aren’t you afraid that the nasty landlord may bully me?” Hugging around Ling Tianyi’s neck, Xia Xiaoluo muttered in his ear.
“You naughty girl! What can I say?” Ling Tianyi became speechless.
“You kept jabbering on before I had finished. What I mean is to have you live in the villa.” Ling Tianyi said.
“What? No! Hubby, if I live together with your parents all by myself, what if I bring serious troubles? Don’t let me live there, will you? I beg you, okay?” Xia Xiaoluo worried so much that she began to act spoilt again. Anyway, she knew it would work if she begged him in a flirtatious way.
“Be good and go to live in the villa just for half a month. How can I set my mind at rest if you live in the apartment alone? In addition, if you ask a young man back home and put him up, then I will be driven mad to death. Even if you don’t provoke other men, what if someone slips into our apartment? What’s worse, how about a thief? How will you deal with that then?”
“So, it’s the best choice if you go to live in the villa with my parents. For one thing, it will be safe. I don’t have to worry if there will be a petty thief or some boy getting you into trouble. For another, it’s convenient to have mother take care of you to build up your health.”
Ling Tianyi set forth his reasons. But he was excessively afraid that his little wife would be seduced by some little boy. He did not really want to be a cuckold.
