The daily routine of the mistress of the Hou family training her husband

Chapter 135 Enlightenment

"What have you been busy with recently? The cases in the Dali Temple are almost over."

During dinner in the evening, Xu Shuhe took the initiative to start a conversation.

Chen Zhi nodded. "This case involves two princes and concerns the reputation of the royal family. We will not investigate it as thoroughly as before. We will probably find a few corrupt officials and execute them, and then we can put an end to this matter."

"The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince both ate the food, which is good for the Fifth Prince." Xu Shuhe said as he picked up some food, "Since you were busy, I never mentioned it. Now that things are on the right track, I'm thinking about bringing my mother over. She's all alone in Qizhou, and I'm always worried about her."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhi raised the corners of his lips, put a glutinous rice ball that Xu Shuhe liked in her bowl, and said with a smile.

"I originally wanted to give you a surprise. Now that you mentioned it, I won't hide it from you. I sent Zhang Ping back to pick up my mother-in-law five days ago. I think after I come here to make arrangements and travel, my mother-in-law should be here in half a month at most."

"You actually arranged it." Xu Shuhe's eyes suddenly brightened.

It was indeed unexpected.

Chen Zhi's face was gentle, "You don't say it, but I'm with you every day, so how can I not see that you miss your mother-in-law."

"I thought you were busy with your own things and didn't care about these things." Xu Shuhe was touched.

"How could that be?" Chen Zhi looked helpless, as if he had been misunderstood and felt a little wronged. Then his eyes became sincere again, "You and I are husband and wife, and I always keep you in my heart."

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.

The kindness the man showed her left her speechless.

Over the past year or so, she has gotten used to being with Chen Zhi. Especially, without her noticing, Chen Zhi has become more and more considerate, caring, gentle and meticulous towards her. Such an offensive is really enough to make one fall in love with him.

Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

In particular, although Chen Zhi was born in this patriarchal era, he was extremely respectful to his wife in every aspect, discussed everything with her, never acted on his own on major issues, and was able to perceive her mood in detail and think of ways to make her happy.

More importantly, Chen Zhi always acknowledged her abilities and did not think that her success in business was due to the presence of a man like him.

Not to mention now, even in the future, many men would not be able to do it.

Xu Shuhe didn't like being treated as a vase or a canary. Even if Chen Zhi treated her well, he would only regard her as a pet.

She likes the current situation, where both of them are developing in their favorite fields, relying on each other, supporting each other, and respecting each other.

It was precisely because of the current situation that Xu Shuhe no longer felt so resistant to their relationship as husband and wife. He just regarded it as a relationship. Even if she would leave in the future, at least he was happy at the moment.

It always takes a moment for people to figure something out.

For example, at this time, Chen Zhi clearly felt that the way Xu Shuhe looked at him was different from before.

He couldn't tell exactly what was different, but this look made people feel closer and more comfortable, as if the distance between them had shortened.

This change made Chen Zhi so happy that he had a smile on his face throughout the dinner.

After washing up in the evening, when Chen Zhi came over, Xu Shuhe was already lying on the inside of the bed, with his back to the outside as usual, and seemed to be fast asleep.

Chen Zhi was already used to it, so he lay down silently, knowing in his heart that the woman would roll towards a warm place while sleeping and would naturally come close to him.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi wanted to laugh for some reason.

I felt that Xu Shuhe was like a cat that crawled into the stove to keep warm in winter.

Just when the corners of his lips curled up, the person next to him suddenly moved, turned over and rolled next to him, lying on his side, with one hand on his arm.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but tense up. He turned his head and saw the woman next to him staring at him with her big eyes.

"What, what happened?" Chen Zhi was inexplicably nervous.

And yet, there is a vague sense of anticipation.

Will it be tonight?
"Are you cold?" Xu Shuhe blinked.

Chen Zhi shook his head.

Soon Xu Shuhe smiled brightly, "Then I won't be polite~" Just when Chen Zhi's face was about to get hot, and he didn't know why the other party was being rude, he suddenly felt a chill on his legs, as if two large ice cubes were stuck to him.

"hiss--"

Chen Zhi instinctively took a breath of cold air, and then he realized how rude the other party was.

"Why are your feet so cold? Didn't you soak them in water just now?" Chen Zhi said with a helpless smile.

"I did use hot water, but it cooled down immediately." Xu Shuhe sighed and then joked, "Maybe this is the icy skin and jade bones?"

This made Chen Zhi laugh out loud, "What kind of twisted logic is this? It's obviously cold."

Having said that, Chen Zhi thought for a moment, then stretched out his arms and held the person in his arms.

His movements were awkward and stiff, but after holding Xu Shuhe in his arms, he showed no intention of letting go.

No matter how stupid he was, Chen Zhi knew that he should seize the opportunity today to take the relationship between them to the next level.

Xu Shuhe came closer to him. If he remained motionless like a wooden stake, he would be unmanly.

Although we have to take it slow to see how far we can go, at least we are getting closer.

Xu Shuhe, who was held in the man's arms, felt the scorching heat from the man's body, which instantly warmed her whole body, as if she was next to a stove.

But I feel a little embarrassed.

So he raised his eyes and took a peek, and found that Chen Zhi's face was flushed, and even his neck was red.

Still... quite innocent.

That's embarrassing.

Xu Shuhe regarded herself as an elder sister, and after seeing Chen Zhi's shyness, she became more relaxed.

In the past, when she viewed Chen Zhi as a half-paper man, she admired his appearance. But now that she has let it go, she actually finds this body a bit tempting.

So she pretended to be sleepy and slowly leaned her head on Chen Zhi's chest. Her hands, like vines, slowly climbed up Chen Zhi's waist.

It’s good to be young. Although Chen Zhi is not a martial artist, his waist is still slim and without a trace of fat, and it feels really good to touch.

Xu Shuhe suddenly felt as if he had come to his senses. He wondered why he had been so reserved before. He did not enjoy the beauty in front of him.

But although she enjoyed it, Chen Zhi found it very difficult to endure.

At this age when he was full of vigor and vitality, and it was also the first time for him to be so close to the woman he loved. The thin pajamas could hardly block the heat in his chest that was about to burst out, but Xu Shuhe was still restless.

Thinking that they had been married for a year, Chen Zhi guessed that Xu Shuhe took the initiative today, maybe she wanted to...
But he did not dare to act rashly, for fear of startling the person in his arms. Being impatient would only make things worse. He stayed like this for a while, and finally he could not bear it any longer. When he was about to make a move, he looked down and found that the woman in his arms was breathing evenly and fell asleep comfortably.

Chen Zhi gritted his teeth, his Adam's apple moved, and he had to suppress his eager heart.

Well, it’s useless.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next day, Chen Zhi was getting ready to go to the yamen, but as soon as he moved, he woke up Xu Shuhe.

"Just got up?" Xu Shuhe asked casually in a soft and low voice with sleepy eyes, looking like a fed cat.

Chen Zhike did not sleep as soundly as she did. For some reason, when he looked at her and thought of what happened last night, he suddenly felt angry.

Without saying a word, he held Xu Shuhe's head and kissed her red lips.

There was no technique involved, just lips pressed tightly together.

Xu Shuhe was dazed by his kiss and did not come to her senses until Chen Zhiyi got up and left.

What are you doing so early in the morning?!
