Chapter 116: They were already an old married couple, yet she still blushed.

Jiang Yubing raised a finger to her lips and gestured for him to stay quiet.

She shifted her gaze between Bai Youwei and Zhao Ran.

From the pair’s slightly awkward demeanor, she roughly guessed a bit of the truth.

When she supported Shen Qingxuan back to his room last night, she especially reminded Bai Youwei before leaving.

Bai Youwei sometimes acted a little unreliable in her dealings.

Yet on significant matters like this, she still would not leave Zhao Ran unattended.

Moreover, just now Jiang Yubing personally saw the two of them come out of the same room.

Putting these clues together, something definitely happened last night.

In order not to disturb them, Jiang Yubing pulled Shen Qingxuan out of the living room.

Before leaving, the sharp-eyed Shen Qingxuan noticed two cartons of milk on the table and casually took them.

The two of them reached the small courtyard gate and found a spot to sit.

Shen Qingxuan scratched his head in confusion and looked at Jiang Yubing as he asked, “Wife, I am enjoying the gossip, why do you drag me out?”

Jiang Yubing did not answer his question, and her mind drifted to last night.

When she thought about that idiot husband coming back so late and making her wait so long, anger immediately welled up.

Seeing Shen Qingxuan just finish inserting the straw into the milk, Jiang Yubing moved swiftly and snatched it away.

Hmph, she took it as interest for waiting on him last night.

After she drank a mouthful of milk, she stared at Shen Qingxuan with a resentful face.

“Aren’t you going to explain what you did last night?”

“You came back so late.”

Watching the milk disappear from his hand all of a sudden, a trace of surprise flashed in Shen Qingxuan’s eyes.

As expected of his wife, her hand speed remained terrifyingly fast, something he experienced not long ago.

He pulled another carton of milk from his pocket, inserted a straw, and finally replied lazily.

“I just drank a bit of wine last night, what else can I do?”

He did not say that before drinking, they also visited an internet café.

After so many years apart, how could they skip the sacred three-person row of computers?

The main reason, of course, was that Chu Nan treated them.

“I think you are being dishonest now; you even learned to lie to me.”

Jiang Yubing stared straight at him and said, “Think carefully, or I will serve the family law.”

After speaking, she waved her small fist, trying to scare Shen Qingxuan.

Looking at Jiang Yubing’s fierce appearance, Shen Qingxuan quickly glanced around.

When he saw no one nearby, he leaned to her ear and whispered, “Is it the kind of family law I am thinking of?”

Jiang Yubing instantly understood, and her little face flushed red.

She secretly blamed the idiot husband for saying such things in broad daylight.

Fortunately, no one was around, or she would have died of embarrassment.

Shen Qingxuan naturally noticed the change in her expression.

He could not help teasing, “We are already an old married couple, yet you still blush!”

Jiang Yubing let out a coquettish snort and punched him lightly.

“Who is an old married couple with you?”

“Besides, not everyone’s skin is as thick as yours.”

Yet the moment she finished her words and lifted the milk, she paused.

She suddenly felt a warm sensation on the left side of her face.

It turned out that Shen Qingxuan seized the chance to kiss her.

Jiang Yubing covered the spot with her hand, turned her head, and questioned, “What are you doing?”

Shen Qingxuan straightened his neck and licked his lips.

He had to admit that the milk tasted really good.

Noticing Jiang Yubing’s stare, Shen Qingxuan gave her a smile.

“I test how thick my wife’s skin is.”

Jiang Yubing pinched his arm in annoyance.

“Who tests like that?”

She did not use much force, yet Shen Qingxuan cooperated with an exaggerated yelp.

Just as Shen Qingxuan planned to change the topic and ask where they would go later, she suddenly spoke.

“So, was it thick?”

Jiang Yubing tilted her head and asked.

“Barely acceptable.”

Jiang Yubing pressed, “How thick?”

“At least three or four floors thick.”

“Then wouldn’t I be a monster?”

“How can my Bingbing be a monster?”

Afraid that Jiang Yubing might suddenly pinch him again, Shen Qingxuan hurried to placate her.

Hearing this, Jiang Yubing waited quietly for what came next.

She wanted to see what else the idiot husband could say.

Shen Qingxuan chuckled, “My Bingbing’s nickname is Jiang Baige.”

After speaking, as if he knew she would explode, he immediately ran toward the house.

“You, you actually call me that again!”

Jiang Yubing stood up and chased after him.

Before Shen Qingxuan ran far, he bumped into Zhao Ran and Bai Youwei, who walked toward them.

Jiang Yubing, who caught up, had no choice but to give up for the moment.

After the four met, they chatted casually for a while.

Zhao Ran and Bai Youwei then took their leave.

…

Shen Qingxuan’s home stood near the suburbs.

Not far from his house, there was a large mountain.

At that moment, Shen Qingxuan and Jiang Yubing appeared there.

“Husband, are we having a picnic here?”

Jiang Yubing asked curiously.

“Yes!”

Shen Qingxuan set the large backpack on the ground and took out the items one by one.

They were all utensils useful for an outdoor cookout.

Since his parents went back to the countryside and the wedding matters could not be discussed for the time being, he simply led Jiang Yubing here for a picnic.

Looking at the familiar place, Shen Qingxuan could not help recalling his childhood.

He murmured softly, “It used to be bustling here!”

When Jiang Yubing heard that, she became interested at once.

She wondered whether anything unforgettable happened here.

She looked around; besides some small shrubs, she saw nothing special.

Shen Qingxuan continued, “This was our secret base when we were kids.”

“Back then it was lively; a group of little friends often played here.”

The idiot husband’s childhood sounded quite interesting.

Jiang Yubing asked with interest, “Husband, can you tell me in detail?”

Shen Qingxuan did not hesitate and started telling her childhood stories.

Playing house, for example!

Such as picking bird eggs on the mountain and accidentally falling from a tree.

Or playing hide-and-seek together, where he hid in a secret spot and the other little friends could not find him.

When dusk nearly fell, the worried children ran home and brought his dad over.

Without suspense, Shen Haiyang found him in no time.

To strengthen father-son bonding, his dad even rewarded him with a Seven Wolves combo.

Jiang Yubing listened with great interest, and the two of them laughed from time to time.

After the stories ended, Jiang Yubing still seemed a little unsatisfied.

She then began to talk about her own childhood.

However, when she was young, she had no friends besides Bai Youwei.

Most of the time she stayed with her family and occasionally went shopping at the mall.

Compared with the idiot husband’s colorful childhood, hers felt downright dull.

After hearing her brief description, Shen Qingxuan’s eyes filled with envy.

He thought his brain must be sick for asking such a question.

Other people’s childhoods revolved around buying things.

His own childhood revolved around crawling and rolling on the mountain every day.

Truly, just like the lyrics said, “Your childhood, my childhood…”
