You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Xiao Yao, I'm going upstairs." Yu Luying said to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao knew that it was useless to force her to say something she didn't want to say, so he hooked his arms around her waist and moved his head closer.

Fortunately, the girl responded to him gently.

The boy reached out and pinched the girl's plump hand: "It's fine, huh?"

"Yeah." Yu Luying nodded slightly reluctantly.

"Well, I'm leaving? See you tomorrow?" Xiao Yao turned around and took a step forward.

"You talked with Shen Jie for the whole afternoon," Yu Luying asked him, "Did you help me ask about my questions?"

Xiao Yao almost blurted out "what is it?", and then said, "I asked."

What the hell is this? There's no way to start this topic.

"What did she say?" Yu Luying's expression was a little nervous but also a little expectant: "What will I be doing in the future?"

"She said she wasn't very familiar with you," Xiao Yao said immediately, "but she promised to help me find out."

Yu Luying nodded: "I understand."

Xiao Yao secretly made up his mind that he would ask Shen Jie later in the evening what happened to Yu Luying.

But please don’t marry someone else, right?

Although it was selfish to think this way, Xiao Yao felt heartbroken and couldn't accept it when he thought about the "hypothesis" that Yu Luying would follow someone else in the future.

With all these random thoughts in his mind, Xiao Yao returned home and walked through the large floor-to-ceiling mirror.

The table was filled with high-end takeout food. My wife and daughter were sitting at the table, not eating.

Seeing that Xiao Yao finally came back, Shen Jie started to complain and scold him, and then asked where Xiao Yao had been.

Xiao Yao responded vaguely. Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Shen Jie did not ask any more questions. However, Shen Tianyun's face showed a look of... crooked mouth? Disdain?

"Have you found the marriage certificate?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"Found it," Shen Jie took out the red book and showed it to Xiao Yao: "I put it in the safe, no one could have tampered with it, and the dates and photos inside were changed - now I completely believe it."

"That's it." Xiao Yao said.

There were three red wine glasses on the table and two candles were lit. Shen Jie had changed out of her daytime clothes and put on pajamas.

This champagne-colored nightgown exudes a breathtaking gorgeousness and... beauty? It is made of high-quality silk fabric, soft and smooth, giving a charming touch. The nightgown is carefully designed with delicate lace and embroidery details, like a work of art.

Shen Jie's pajamas not only show her nobility and elegance, but also reveal a hint of sexiness. The neckline of the pajamas is open to reveal her collarbone and smooth skin, as well as a small half-ball-shaped... Well, Xiao Yao had to admit that this dress is pretty. The lace decorations on the sleeves and hem add a touch of romance and charm to her.

The strange thing is that she actually wore a pair of gray pantyhose under her nightgown (Xiao Yao thought it should be), and this delicate stocking added a soft sheen to her legs. The pantyhose clung to her skin, showing her... slender and charming leg curves. The gray tone complemented the champagne-colored pajamas, adding a sense of layering and fashion to the overall look.

...No way! Who would wear stockings at home in the summer, especially with pajamas! Auntie, what are you trying to do? Or is this the new fashion in 2034? It's impossible!

Xiao Yao noticed that Shen Jie even reapplied her makeup - her makeup was delicate and sophisticated, and her lip gloss was applied just right, exuding a sexy and confident charm. Her eye makeup was also carefully done, and the color of the eyeshadow outlined her bright and spirited eyes, and her eyelashes were thick and curled, flashing a blurred light. Her skin was smooth and delicate, showing her careful care for skin care and her emphasis on her image.

Appearing at home in such a carefully dressed state, Shen Jie's appearance gave Xiao Yao a deep sense of uneasiness.

He felt that the other party had ill intentions.

Chapter 243 Husband’s Responsibility

2023-06-22

*This chapter is also called "Returning Love with Love"

Appearing at home in such a carefully dressed state, Shen Jie's appearance gave Xiao Yao a deep sense of uneasiness.

He felt that the other party had ill intentions.

"Little dad, where is my sesame cake?" Shen Tianyun asked angrily.

"Uh..." Xiao Yao said.

"She said she was going to bake sesame cakes for me, but then she disappeared and hasn't come back until now," Shen Tianyun pouted and said, "Go and bake sesame cakes for me, or you won't be allowed to eat."

"Okay, okay, let me bake the sesame cakes." Xiao Yao had a doting smile on his face.

"What are you eating?" Shen Jie scolded, "It's time to eat - Xiao Yao, ignore her."

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Yao said as he went back to 2004.

While baking the pancakes, he fell into deep thought.

Xiao Yao is not a child anymore.

Of course, legally speaking, he still is.

The key point is that over the past two months, after being beaten up by Shen Jie, Yu Luying, Zhao Xiaomei and others, he is no longer the big fool who is ignorant of the world and cannot read the air.

If you say that what Shen Jie wants to do is Sima Zhao's intention, it would be a bit too much.

At least, this is not what Xiao Yao wants.

It’s not that there is any moral package.

——Ever since confirming the identity of the two Shen Jies, Xiao Yao has understood and confirmed in his heart that no matter from which angle, "they" are the same person.

Similarly, he and Xiao Yao, who is currently in prison in Mississippi, are the same person.

This is not a relationship of parallel universes or clones like in "The Sixth Day", but a real individual with continuity and identity in time and logic.

If the girl imprisoned in the Western Suburbs Garden cut her wrists, a scar would immediately appear on the wrist of the sister in front of her.

Wait, for no reason, why was I thinking about cutting my wrists?

In short, Xiao Yao's resistance comes from his heart, or his biology.

In layman's terms, he didn't like her very much.

Actually, this is not true - he likes her, and he is willing to stick with her no matter as a friend, sister or relative, he just is not attracted to her.

he is not into her.

To be fair, Shen Jie is already very beautiful, whether in appearance or figure, foundation or maintenance or dressing.

But... even if it was 14? Even if it was 24? This mother-like age still made it difficult for Xiao Yao not to feel resentful.

The champagne-colored pajamas looked good, and the gray tights looked good too. If they were worn on "that" Shen Jie... But now, what Xiao Yao felt was not temptation, but... awkwardness.

This part of the content is completely beyond the control of the brain and is purely under the control of pheromones. Xiao Yao can do nothing about it.

"How many people have admired your youthful appearance, but who can withstand the ruthless changes of time..."

It is always easy to write lyrics, and it is also very easy to move your lips, play the piano and sing, but it is always difficult for people to discover their own weaknesses until they really face them.

The only thing he could do now was to try his best to hide himself, try his best to love her, and try his best not to hurt her feelings and self-esteem.

Perhaps, this is part of the so-called "husband's duties and responsibilities"?

Suddenly, he thought of something, felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his hands that were flipping the pancakes slowed down.

Put yourself in the shoes of the girl who is being held captive in the West Suburb Garden home.

Is she calling herself?

It may be hard to say now, but at the beginning, there must be no attraction, right?

However, she still accompanies me to make phone calls, go on dates, do this and that, and even do some particularly intimate things with me.

Did she feel the same as I do now? Or even worse.

But she carried it all on her little 17-year-old shoulders, bringing herself endless happiness, satisfaction and joy.

While he felt great respect and gratitude towards Shen Jie, he also felt introspective and guilty.

I, I am really nothing... Xiao Yao thought.

At the beginning, the love that Xiao Shen Jie felt for herself must not have come from pheromones, but from the "love between husband and wife" that originated from religious supersexual love.

……

Then he thought of another thing.

If I remember correctly, I disappeared from Shen Tianyun's life when she was ten years old.

In that case, it has actually been about four or five years.

They say that people are like something at thirty and something at forty. I wonder how my mom has been getting through these years.

He had no doubts about the loyalty of his beloved comrade.

Thank you for your hard work - no, thank you for your hard work, meow mommy.

After finishing this fantasy, Xiao Yao returned to the year 2034 holding two steaming hot pancakes and placed the pancakes in front of Shen Tianyun with a doting look on his face.

"Eat, little Mimi," Xiao Yao said, "Meow cub."

"Meow~" Shen Tianyun made a ferocious gesture.

"Oh, so she is the little cat, and I am the mother cat," Shen Jie raised her glass of red wine, "You are so childish."

"That's right, we are still babies." Xiao Yao retreated tactically.

"This kid, how many times have I told him to do this?" Shen Jie complained, "He's still eating snacks when it's time to eat. He always refuses to listen to me."

Xiao Yao advised: "Oh, just let her be. This is not a big issue of principle. Besides, it is mainly my responsibility today. I promised to bake pancakes for her, but she disappeared halfway through."

"Are you going to see Yu Luying?" Shen Jie blurted out.

“……” Xiao Yao was shocked.

Shen Tianyun's eyes looking at him were also slightly subtle.

"I suddenly remembered it," Shen Jie seemed to be talking to herself, "I just remembered such a big thing - Shen Jie called me before and said that she would give half of you to Yu Luying because she was going to study in the United States for eight years. She also asked me if she was doing the right thing."

"Is there such a thing?" The cat was horrified.

Xiao Yao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He evaded the main point and said, "I did go to see Yu Luying - but we did it to rescue you."

Having said that, Xiao Yao told Shen Jie the whole story of the investigation operation in Xijiao Garden.

Shen Jie and Shen Tianyun both listened with frowns on their faces, and no one spoke for a long time.

"This matter... is a bit difficult to handle." In the end, Shen Jie just said this.

"Mom," Shen Tianyun suggested, "Why don't you think back and see if you can remember how this matter was finally resolved?"

Shen Jie shook her head subconsciously, but Xiao Yao quickly responded, "No, no, no, no, no, don't let your mother recall the events of this timeline. It's not good for her."

"Oh~~~" Shen Tianyun took two big mouthfuls of rice in disappointment.

Shen Jie still looked thoughtful, she didn't say anything, just remained silent.

"When I was baking the pancakes just now, I remembered something," Xiao Yao looked at Shen Jie and said.

"Well, go ahead." Shen Jie looked somewhat absent-minded.

"Mom, I'm full," Shen Tianyun pushed the dishes in front of her and stood up. "There's a party at Panwang's house tonight. She asked me to go and play. I might stay at Panwang's house tonight."

"Go ahead," Shen Jie said calmly, "The adults in their family have told me to be careful and not get into trouble."

"There is no number, there is no number. (I have a number)"

After Shen Tianyun finished speaking, she hugged Shen Jie and Xiao Yao's necks one after another, kissed them each, and then began to put on her socks.

"You know it." Shen Jie complained.

In Xiao Yao's impression, Shen Jie actually didn't allow her daughter to spend the night outside. His first reaction was that this was another arrangement and conspiracy by Shen Jie.

The young man subconsciously hugged his daughter's waist and said, "Changsheng, don't go today. It's a rare occasion for the three of us to be together. Just spend some time with mom and dad."

"Panwang and I made an appointment half a month ago," Shen Tianyun said with a giggle, and pried open Xiao Yao's fingers with force: "It's Dad who should spend more time with Mom, right? Mom was supposed to leave on a flight tonight, but she just refunded her ticket for you."

You guys really did it on purpose!!!

After Shen Tianyun disappeared at the bedroom door, Shen Jie raised her eyelids and said to Xiao Yao: "I swear, she really insisted on going."

"Don't, don't, don't, don't swear randomly," Xiao Yao said quickly, "This child is just used to being free and undisciplined. He still needs to be disciplined more."

"Yeah." Shen Jie responded casually.

"When I was baking the pancakes just now, I thought of something else," Xiao Yao repeated this sentence: "Is there a possibility that the future has been changed, and Xiao Yao has not been imprisoned, or the sentence is no longer 40 years?"

Shen Jie: "..."

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Maybe that guy has already opened the door with the key before we even finish our meal?"
