After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1359 - 1363: Not Apart for Even a Second

"Don’t you want to know how he stumbled as he learned to walk? Don’t you want to know what I’ll look like when I’m old and gray? I haven’t worn that beautiful nightgown Xu Xia gave me for you to see... I’m your woman. Do you really want to let another man touch me, kiss my lips, touch my body?"

"No, you’re mine, you’re mine!" Leng Zimo held her tightly. "Everything about you is mine!"

"Then don’t give up on me, use the rest of your time to love me well!"

"Okay!" Leng Zimo trembled as he caressed her long hair, "Okay, then I’ll be selfish one more time!"

"Idiot, that’s not called being selfish. A good husband listens to his wife. We’ll go find Yizhou tomorrow... no, let’s go now..." Luo Xiaoqian stood up from his embrace, "You wait here; I’ll go bring Yizhou over."

"No!" Leng Zimo gripped her hand tightly, "I’ll go with you."

Luo Xiaoqian smiled at him, intertwined her fingers with his hand, "Yes, we’ll go together, we won’t be apart for even a second!"

"Wait!" Leng Zimo held her back, took a thin shawl from the wardrobe, and draped it over her shoulders, covering her bare shoulders exposed by the spaghetti strap nightgown. Once he ensured she was well-covered, he held her hand again, "Now we can go."

The two of them walked out of the bedroom together, arriving outside Shen Yizhou and Tong Ya’s guest room. Luo Xiaoqian raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

After a moment, Shen Yizhou opened the door, looking at Leng Zimo and Luo Xiaoqian standing outside, unable to hide his surprise.

"Zimo, Xiaoqian, what are you two...?"

"What’s going on?" Tong Ya also came over, dressed.

Leng Zimo glanced at the nearby guest rooms, worried about waking Leng Lin and the others, "Let’s talk in the study!"

"Okay!" Shen Yizhou could already tell what was going on from their expressions and immediately nodded, "You two head over first, I’ll change and be right there."

Downstairs, on the lawn.

Xu Xia carefully applied burn ointment around the last blister with a cotton swab, finally breathing a sigh of relief, "All done, everything’s settled!"

"Thanks." Leng Zirui stood up, casually sat on a nearby blanket, and grabbed a can of beer.

Xu Xia put away the ointment and sat beside him, "Was what you said earlier true?!"

"What thing?" Leng Zirui glanced at him sideways.

"The thing about the Amazon jungle?!" Xu Xia nudged his arm with his elbow, "Come on, tell me."

"Didn’t you say you didn’t believe me?"

"Fine, then don’t tell me!" Xu Xia rolled her eyes at him, poked at the coals on the grill, then opened a bag nearby and used tongs to place meat on the grill, "When I’m done grilling, you’re not allowed to eat any!"

Before the words finished, with a smack, a piece of meat slipped from her tongs onto the grass.

Leng Zirui stood up, took the tongs from her hand, "I finally understand why the wild boar came looking for you that day!"

"Why?" Xu Xia asked curiously.

Leng Zirui smirked, "It’s obvious, you’re so clumsy yet eat so much, it must’ve thought you were one of its kind!"

"You’re the one who’s clumsy and eats a lot!" Xu Xia smacked his shoulder.

"Ow!" His arm had quite a few burns too. When she hit him, it stung painfully, making Leng Zirui cry out softly, "Come on, dear, can we not be so violent?"..
