Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo have been married for nearly fifteen years and are still very much in love with each other, without any embarrassing moments. If you tell others about it, no one would believe it.

The main thing is that there is nothing for the two of them to argue about. Xu Yan is the type who will not get angry as long as her bottom line is not touched. If her bottom line is touched... at least until now, this situation has never happened.

As for Xie Zhuo, he just did whatever Xu Yan said and would never argue with Xu Yan.

Chen Lihua always said that he had a good temper and was an honest man, and he didn't say anything even when being bullied by Xu Yan.

Xie Zhuo just listened with a smile and didn't explain much.

Every time this happened, Xu Yan didn't want to look at him like that any longer, it hurt his eyes.

I can't stand a false smile.

Today's quarrel was the only one in all these years, and it was the most serious one.

Xu Yan didn't say much the whole morning. When he saw Xie Zhuo, he acted as if he didn't see him. He did what he was supposed to do. After packing his suitcase, he started to pack his clothes.

Xie Zhuo took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. Seeing that Xu Yan still ignored him, he changed his shoes and moved closer to her.

Xu Yan moved to the side, putting some distance between him and him.

"Are you still angry?" Xie Zhuo observed Xu Yan's expression.

Xu Yan didn't say anything.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? I'll make it for you," Xie Zhuo was not discouraged and changed the subject and continued to ask.

Xu Yan still didn't say anything, but he packed his clothes faster.

Silence spread between the two people again.

After a long while, when Xu Yan's luggage was almost packed, Xie Zhuo moved next to her and held her hand forcefully.

Xu Yan turned and glared at him.

It is said that time cannot defeat beauty, and this statement is perfectly reflected in Xu Yan.

She is already in her thirties, but she is still the same as she was in her twenties, with delicate and firm skin, long black hair in a loose and lazy braid hanging on her shoulders, dark eyebrows, red lips, and a pair of watery eyes. Every second look at her seems to bring some kind of bewitching charm to anyone.

Xie Zhuo always couldn't control his reaction in front of her before, and it's almost the same now.

Whenever Xu Yan looked at him for a second, some ridiculous thoughts would immediately pop up in his mind.

Now that he was glared at like that, he wanted to move closer and kiss her.

Unfortunately, before he could touch anyone, Xu Yan turned his head away.

"Can you please have some shame?" Xu Yan was almost laughing out of anger, and raised his hand to push his face back, "I'm in the cold war with you!"

Xie Zhuo sighed and moved a few centimeters away to sit down. "Let's fight, but you didn't eat a good breakfast, did you? What do you want to eat? I'll make it now. Leng Zhan, don't starve yourself."

As he spoke, he was about to stand up and walk towards the kitchen, but as soon as he took a step, Xu Yan grabbed his arm.

Xie Zhuo turned his head.

"I'm not hungry," Xu Yan frowned and looked at him, "Don't change the subject."

Xie Zhuo could only sit back on the sofa.

"Didn't you always go out in the past few years?" Xu Yan said, "I'll be gone for less than two weeks this time. Besides, you know everyone I'm going with. What are you worried about?"

This time it was Xie Zhuo's turn to remain silent. Just when Xu Yan thought he was not going to speak, he slowly said, "Even though I know him, I'm still worried."

"What do you mean?" Xu Yan didn't understand.

"That Guo Jiazhi liked you before, but he didn't get married after all these years. Who knows if he still has you in his heart," Xie Zhuo said, "And that Qin guy hangs around you all day long. You guys are nominally going to a meeting this time, but..."

But before he could say anything else, he was interrupted by Xu Yan.

"Xie darling," Xu Yan looked at Xie Zhuo seriously, "Are you really jealous?"

Xie Zhuo pursed his lips.

Xu Yan was so angry that he laughed. "I don't know whether Guo Jiazhi is married or not. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten his name. As for the other one you mentioned, that child is only 20 years old this year, the same age as Lin Dong, and I am one generation older. What on earth are you thinking about all day long?"

Now that the issue was brought up, Xie Zhuo was still not happy about Xu Yan "abandoning" him and going out, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

However, the two of them agreed to make at least three phone calls a day.

Xu Yan also agreed.

To be precise, the two have hardly ever been apart for at least four or five years.

Xie Zhuo's clinginess is far more serious than he usually shows. When he is at work, he will also call Xu Yan a few times in his free time. Sometimes he has serious things to talk about, but most of the time he just wants to ask what Xu Yan is doing and want to hear her say that she misses him.

Xu Shu encountered this several times and complained about it for a long time.

"You've been married for so many years, but why are you still acting like a couple who just fell in love, so clingy?"

Xie Zhuo glanced at him and said, "Brother, compared to you, we are indeed young."

Xu Shu: “…get out.”

Xu Yan and his group's literary exchange meeting was in another province, and it only took a day to get there by train.

Xiaowu returned home from Chen Lihua's place and found her mother was not there. She burst into tears and insisted that Xie Zhuo take her to find Xu Yan.

"Why are you crying?" Xie Zhuo bent down, pulled her into his arms, and then walked to the sofa and sat down. "Mom will be back soon. Isn't it good for you to stay with Dad?"

Xiaowu still wants to cry. It’s good, but he still wants his mother.

"Dad will take you to eat delicious food later," Xie Zhuo said, "Tomorrow, Dad will take you to see the little white rabbit you said you wanted to see last time. Do you still miss your mom?"

Xiaowu: “…I want to.”

There was nothing they could do. Her mother was busy having dinner with a literary giant she liked and couldn't take care of them for the time being.

On the day when Xu Yan finally returned to City B, Xie Zhuo left home early to pick up Xu Yan at the station.

Qin Siming followed Xu Yan as soon as he got off the train. He was happily sharing his thoughts at the exchange meeting with her when he noticed a pair of warning and hostile eyes staring at him.

Qin Siming looked up and met Xie Zhuo's not-so-friendly gaze.

Although Xu Yan was in a good mood every day during this period, his facial expression was always indifferent. The moment he saw Xie Zhuo, the corners of his mouth lifted up.

The already beautiful and eye-catching face becomes even more brighter.

Xu Yan walked towards Xie Zhuo, and as Xie Zhuo reached out to take her luggage and held her hand, she smiled and said, "I'm back."

The other people who had followed them out immediately started to make a noise when they saw them like this.

"Oh, why does it feel like I'm watching a TV drama, with people driving to pick me up with flowers," said a girl.

"Are you envious? I envy you for finding one too," someone interjected.

"Well, even if I look for someone, I can't find someone like Xie Zhuo, who has been so kind to Sister Xu Yan for decades."

Qin Siming heard her sour words and continued, "The main reason is that you are not as good as my senior sister."

The girl wanted to say something, but Xu Yan didn't listen carefully. He turned around, said goodbye to everyone else, and called Qin Siming.

"What's wrong, senior sister?" Qin Siming took a step forward.

Xu Yan glanced at Xie Zhuo. Xie Zhuo seemed a little reluctant but did not say anything.

"Where do you live? Why don't you ask your brother-in-law to give you a ride on the way?" Xu Yan emphasized the word "brother-in-law" a little, then glanced at Xie Zhuo.

Xie Zhuo originally wanted to pretend, but the corners of his mouth still lifted slightly.

Qin Siming was not so tactless. He knew that Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo had not seen each other for a long time and might want to talk about something in private. It was not convenient for him to do so in the car, so he refused with a wave of his hand.

"It's okay, senior sister," Qin Siming said, "You and your brother-in-law go first, I'll go with the others, there's a bus."

Although Xie Zhuo missed Xu Yan very much, he only asked her if she felt uncomfortable or had any problems adapting to the other province. Although he had asked these questions on the phone before, Xu Yan still told him again seriously and patiently.

"That's fine," Xie Zhuo drove the car into the garage, and before getting out of the car, he turned his head and kissed Xu Yan.

They hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, so his movements were a little hasty, but after Xu Yan moved uncomfortably, he slowly slowed down his breathing and licked Xu Yan's lips bit by bit.

The kiss lasted for a few minutes, and when they separated, Xu Yan had the chance to ask him about Xiao Wu.

"Are you crying?" Xu Yan asked.

"When you first left, I was not used to it, but it's been fine since then." Xie Zhuo pulled at his pants to make sure that a certain part of his body wasn't too tight and uncomfortable. "My mom has taken her home to take care of her these past two days. I'll go pick her up later."

"Yeah," Xu Yan responded, "She's the one I'm most worried about these days."

When Xie Zhuo turned his gaze over, he added, "And you."
