She knew Pei Jingzhou would ask about this.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about how long she would stay here. It was mainly because when she came back this time, the MO family was gathered together. Grandma was the happiest. She had to come over every morning, noon, and night to talk to her before she felt at ease.

Li Xiwu looked up at Pei Jingzhou’s expression and asked him, “Fourth Brother, how long do you think it’s suitable for me to stay here?”

As soon as Li Xiwu finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and hooked it around the back of her neck. “Don’t ask me first. Tell me how long you want to stay.”

“This is the first time I’m back. Of course, Grandma wants me to stay for as long as possible.” Li Xiwu told him nicely, “So I plan to stay at Grandma’s house for ten days. Grandma is old, so it’s not appropriate for her to go out all the time. But she misses me. I can’t come back all the time. So I’ll stay a few more days to make Grandma happier.”

Pei Jingzhou nodded.

Seeing that his expression did not change, Li Xiwu said softly, “It’s just that

Fourth Brother has to suffer.’

Pei Jingzhou smiled. “You know it’s a grievance. Think about how to make it up to me when we get back.”

Li Xiwu’s red lips parted. “I thought you’d say ten days is a long time.”

Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “It’s a long time. You listened to Grandma, and I’ll listen to you.”

Li Xiwu suppressed the smile on her lips and was about to suppress it. Her mood was indescribably high. “Fourth Brother is so reasonable. I’m actually not used to it.”

The hand that landed on the back of her neck slowly moved to the front. His fingertips gently lifted her chin. “When did your husband become unreasonable?”

Li Xiwu felt her jaw itch and her cheek tilted slightly. “That’s true.”

The journey back to the front garden was a little long. There was a stretch of cobblestones ahead. Li Xiwu held Pei Jingzhou’s arm and walked slowly. When she came over just now, she was holding MO Yan’s arm. She especially remembered that Yaoyao was following behind with a worried and nervous expression, afraid that she would fall.

She casually told Pei Jingzhou about this. Pei Jingzhou looked down at the short boots she was wearing. The heels were thin, about five centimeters.

After interacting with him for a long time, Li Xiwu could guess what Pei Jingzhou would do next from his expression. As expected, Pei Jingzhou handed her the wax plum in his hand and stretched his arm across her back to pick her up.

Li Xiwu was prepared to be carried by him in advance. Holding the wax plum in her hand, she wrapped her arms around his neck and asked softly, “Is it heavier than before?”

Pei Jingzhou smiled. “Do you think I’m an artificial scale?”

Li Xiwu said, “The artificial scale isn’t as accurate as the electronic scale. Give me an estimate.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “You use it and despise it.”

Li Xiwu said seriously, “I guess so.”

Pei Jingzhou was so angry that he laughed. He stepped over the goose-warm stones under his feet and deliberately said as he walked, “Yes, it’s much heavier.”

This time, it was Li Xiwu’s turn not to laugh. Her expression froze a little and she asked seriously, “Am I really heavy?

Seeing that she was serious and very cute, Pei Jingzhou was not afraid of her hitting him. He continued to ask for a beating. “Yes, it is.”

Li Xiwu pulled a long face. “Looks like I have to lose weight.”

They had already walked past the warm stone road, but Pei Jingzhou did not put Li Xiwu down. He carried her and said, “There’s no motivation to lose weight during the day. Let’s do it at night. I’ll accompany you.”

They were already ‘an old couple’, so how could Li Xiwu not understand the meaning behind his words? “In your dreams. You have to sleep separately here because I’m sleeping with Grandma.”

Just as he finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at her sideways. “What about me?”

Li Xiwu smiled leisurely. “The MO Residence is so big. There are so many empty guest rooms. You can sleep in any room you want. Dao Xi will arrange it for you.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Then what if I miss you?”

Li Xiwu said, “Aren’t you hugging me?”

Pei Jingzhou said with a serious expression, “I mean at night.”

Li Xiwu was not shy. She just wanted her face. She looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when no one was around. She kicked her legs a few times. “Fourth Brother, put me down.” Pei Jingzhou said, “It’s best to change the first two words to husband.”

“No.” Her tone was firm.

Pei Jingzhou asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to change it?”

Li Xiwu took a deep breath. “I won’t change. You… Hmm…”

Before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by Pei Jingzhou.

There was no one around. Li Xiwu, who was being carried, had the upper hand, but Pei Jingzhou’s kiss was more domineering. Li Xiwu did not have the upper hand at all and was even kissed dizzy.

She kept shrinking back. “…It’s—it’s fine.”

Pei Jingzhou turned a deaf ear. She heard his drum-like heartbeat and her hand dug into the back of his neck, leaving nail marks shaped like crescent. Only when Pei Jingzhou left her lips in satisfaction did he put her down. Li Xiwu’s legs went weak from the kiss and she almost lost her balance.

Pei Jingzhou chuckled. “You can’t stand anymore.”

Li Xiwu glared at him angrily. “Stop cracking wise remarks.”

“That’s not it.” He leaned forward slightly and his sultry words landed in her ear. “It’s words that want to sleep with you.”

Li Xiwu’s ears heated up. “You’re still not talking.”

Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “Alright, I won’t say anything. I’ll only do it.”

It was not that she had never experienced Pei Jingzhou’s ability to flirt. He really did what he said. He was in passionate love every day.

Passionate love…

Li Xiwu suddenly thought of something. She took the initiative to lean against Pei Jingzhou and hold his arm. “Why don’t you tell me about our first love?”

The two of them walked slowly towards the front garden, their steps in sync. Pei Jingzhou placed Li Xiwu’s hand in his coat pocket and covered it. He smiled dotingly. “Do you want to know?”

Li Xiwu replied, “Yes. Sometimes, I try my best to remember the process of our relationship back then.”

Whenever her mind went blank, she would always think back to the past. But in retrospect, most of it was images from dreams. She couldn’t remember anything that hadn’t appeared in the dream.

“Miss, Sir.” At this moment, someone walked over. It was Dao Xi, who had returned. When Dao Xi walked over, he saw the young lady and the son-in-law walking together hand in hand. Their relationship was very enviable.

Li Xiwu asked, “Is it time to eat?”

Dao Xi nodded. “Yes, Madam asked me to come and invite you to the front hall for dinner.

“Alright, I’ll be right there,” Li Xiwu replied with a smile. Dao Xi nodded. After informing them, he turned around and left first. “It seems that I still have to wait until I remember all those pasts myself.” Li Xiwu looked up at him.

“Arrange a suitable time for me as soon as possible.”

Pei Jingzhou did not respond and looked at her quietly.

Li Xiwu pursed her lips slightly. “The last time I mentioned this to you, you at least dealt with it on the surface. Today, you don’t even deal with it on the surface.’

Pei Jingzhou’s expression returned to coldness. “It’s good now.”

Li Xiwu looked at him without blinking. “Are you making a decision for me?”

Pei Jingzhou asked softly, “Can I?”
