Chapter 1964 My One And Only
Now that he had become a good man, Hou Zi put on an ap.r.o.n and sat on the sofa. He picked up his phone and started to speak into it, “The Miss Ye you’re talking about is not a simple person. One day, you guys can ask her for guidance.
“Arrange the car. When you see her coming out, pick her up immediately. Clean up the scene. Don’t leave any trails behind.” Since he had agreed to it, he naturally had to finish the job properly. Leaving traces behind for others to catch was never his way of doing things.
The doorbell rang. Hou Zi immediately stood up. “I’ll hang up first. If there’s anything, I’ll contact you.” Before his a.s.sistant could say anything, he quickly hung up the phone and walked away.
Xia Yiwei, who was wearing a deep blue coat, braved the cold and walked in. Before she could change her shoes, Hou Zi hugged her and brought her to the living room where the heater was turned on. “You’ve worked hard enough. How many days have you been working overtime? You’re so heartless to let your husband stay alone in the house every
day.”
On the outside, the mighty Third Master Hou who could shake the entire Southern Province with just a stomp of his feet was a filial husband when he returned home. A successful man like him shouldn’t have to worry that his woman would mess around at home. However, when it came to Hou Zi, he was completely different. He was afraid that this heartless woman in his arms would abandon him again.
Xia Yiwei laid lazily in her man’s embrace. She said weakly, “Don’t you always bicker with me and say you want to go back to the Xia family with me? Let’s go back together on Chinese New Year’s Eve. I don’t want to leave you alone for the new year.”
She spoke softly, but Hou Zi felt as though he was sitting on a roller coaster. He suddenly rushed up into the clouds and fell back down to the ground. He asked her with uncertainty, “Baby, are you talking nonsense?”
“Why? You don’t want to go home with me for the new year?” Xia Yiwei, who seemed weak just now, suddenly sat up from his embrace. She glanced at him from the corners of her eyes, her aura instantly becoming stronger. She looked like a queen. “Then forget it. Pretend I didn’t say anything.” It seems that she meant it!
Hou Zi, who was pleasantly surprised in his heart, controlled his expression and said in a low voice, “You have to keep your word. How can you be so casual? I have to prepare some tea too. The old master likes to drink tea, so I have to prepare some good tea leaves. The old madam likes small ornaments like embroidery, so I have to find a few good ones too. It’s best if they’re vintage items.
“You have to give me a list of what your uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters-in-law like. It’s my first time visiting, so I have to be polite. I can’t be rude.
“What about your brothers? What do they like? The Xia family is full of grief and sorrow. Apart from you, there’s only one other daughter from your aunt’s family. I have to put in some effort for this younger sister.”
When it came to marriage, Hou Zi was just like a normal man. He was afraid that he would leave a bad impression when he went to visit for the first time. He wanted to make it perfect.
Xia Yiwei looked at him as he spoke seriously. The smile in her eyes was already revealed. She and the man had been gone in circles for nearly 20 years before finally ending up together.
She watched as the once handsome young man on Chang’an Street became the mature and steady middle-aged man in front of her. Time had treated him well. He didn’t become uglier and uglier. Instead, he became more and more handsome. His entire body was filled with a charm that made women fall for him. His peach blossom eyes were especially deep and reserved. If one looked at them for too long, their heart would beat faster. Although his face was handsome, what fascinated her even more was his feelings for her. In the past 20 years, he never had another woman. He had always kept himself clean.
In the past, he had said to the young her, “You’ll be my one and only. My feelings for you will never change.”
