Chapter 155: Chapter 150 Moving Day
"Xiao Cheng, I’ve taken out the clothes you’ll wear tomorrow."
"Bring up your dirty clothes, I’ll pack them for you, and wash them tomorrow."
Fresh out of the shower, Chen Cheng responded to Xiao Meier’s shout from the attic and went upstairs.
The small space was filled with corrugated boxes, and Xiao Meier was skillfully folding some old clothes and putting them into the boxes.
She also carefully packed the small items in the corner, marked the bags with a marker, just waiting for the moving company to arrive tomorrow morning.
Chen Cheng casually hung his changed clothes on a small chair, watched Xiao Meier’s busy back, and smiled, "Meier, are you taking the pot downstairs with you?"
"That pot? Maybe we should leave it? I think..."
Xiao Meier answered seriously, but when she turned her head and saw the amused expression on Chen Cheng’s face, she knew he was teasing her again.
"You rascal!"
She feigned anger, put down the tape in her hands, "If you’re not going to help, at least don’t make snide remarks to annoy me, right?"
Chen Cheng quickly waved his hand, smiling, "Meier, you got me wrong, I see you’re working so hard, I wanted you to rest for a while."
Saying so, he got up, walked over to Xiao Meier, gently helped her sit on the bed, then took over the packing task and started to get busy.
Xiao Meier couldn’t help but smile, "At least you have some conscience."
But she only sat for a moment before getting up and started working with Chen Cheng again.
"Xiao Cheng, we are moving to a new house tomorrow. Who shall we invite first?"
Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "It must be Mr. Jin."
Xiao Meier nodded, "I thought so too, just wanted to hear your thoughts."
Chen Cheng turned his head, looking at her deliberately chatty demeanor, "Meier, what’s up with you?"
"Nothing, just chatting with you."
Xiao Meier was becoming more charming.
Especially after skincare treatments, she was like a piece of uncut jade carefully sculpted to reveal delicate flesh.
Chen Cheng certainly knew her little thoughts.
He leaned close to Xiao Meier’s ear, "Meier, changing clothes?"
"Change what clothes?!"
"That outfit from the other night."
Xiao Meier playfully smacked Chen Cheng, "You think about these things all day!"
Chen Cheng’s hands were unambiguous, directly embracing her waist, "Who can blame me when my wife is so beautiful!"
"You’re incorrigible!"
Though Xiao Meier said so, her body honestly cooperated with Chen Cheng.
She lay on the bed, her voluptuous legs slightly curled, and those carefully maintained little feet looking tender and soft.
"Meier, you’re so beautiful," Chen Cheng sincerely said.
Xiao Meier touched Chen Cheng’s cheek, didn’t speak, but her eyes were brimming with water.
Chen Cheng slowly leaned in, Xiao Meier gently closed her eyes.
She felt that gentle kiss on her forehead, then slowly sliding down.
Her fingers tenderly clasped Chen Cheng’s arms, enjoying the tenderness that belonged only to her.
"Xiao Cheng..."
"What’s up?"
"Are you tired?"
Chen Cheng: "I’m okay."
"Then why do you seem lethargic?"
Xiao Meier opened her eyes, "Do you really want me to change clothes?"
"Let’s not. You’ve already packed." Chen Cheng took a deep breath, "I might feel energetic later."
"I’ll do it."
"You will?"
"Yes!"

Chen Cheng watched Xiao Meier’s serious yet unskilled manner, "Meier..."
Xiao Meier’s face blushed furiously, she turned her head, "Don’t talk, just feel it!"
"At your command~!"
...
...
The next day, the two got up early from bed.
After stuffing the unorganized bed sheets and covers into the last cardboard box, Xiao Meier would soon face a farewell.
In this small attic, she lived for ten years and waited for ten years. She was fortunate that she waited for the person she always wanted to wait for and welcomed a life beyond her imagination.
Chen Cheng carried the boxes down the stairs one by one, neatly stacking them at the doorway.
Meanwhile, Xiao Meier placed several eggs from the fridge onto the stove, also settling a matter of her heart.
"Mr. Chen."
Chen Donghai had been waiting outside the roller shutter door half an hour in advance.
Seeing all these big and small boxes, he hurriedly started to help.
"Xiao Hai, boxes 1-5, take them with your car." Xiao Meier was very careful, "5-10 will be taken by Xiao Cheng, the rest can wait for the moving company to come."
Chen Donghai nodded, "Okay, Sister Meier."
Before long, the moving company’s truck also arrived.
Everyone followed Xiao Meier’s instructions and loaded the categorized boxes into the trucks.
Once everything was ready, Xiao Meier turned back for one last look at the Fennel Noodle House’s sign. A trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, but it was mostly anticipation for her new life.
"If you can’t bear to leave, we can continue to rent it." Chen Cheng saw through her thoughts.
But Xiao Meier shook her head, "No need, I’ve already contacted the landlord and we’ll end the lease by noon today."
"Shall we go?"
Xiao Meier and Chen Cheng got into the Camry, Xiao Hai’s Da Lao was second in line, followed last by the moving company’s Jinbei van.
The three vehicles headed toward Houhai.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Meier was holding Chen Cheng’s right hand. "I still prefer riding in the car you drive."
"As long as you like it, I can drive you around every day from now on."
"You’re so busy now, when will you have the time?"
Chen Cheng smiled, "Time is like water in a sponge, if you squeeze it, you’ll always find some."
Xiao Meier pursed her lips, smiling, then Chen Cheng asked, "What about the car Mr. Chen gave you yesterday? Aren’t you driving it?"
"I don’t even have a driver’s license..."
"Register for one, learn how to drive," encouraged Chen Cheng.
"I’m afraid I won’t be able to learn."
Chen Cheng patted her hand, "What’s there that you can’t learn? I believe in you. Besides, I’ll be there beside you to guide you every step of the way. Aren’t you confident?"
"Alright then, I’ll listen to you."
Chen Cheng: "I’ll ask Shu Biao later, he has friends at the driving school. You just need to learn automatic transmission. In at most two months, you’ll be able to drive."
"When should we have them over at our new home?"
"You are the lady of the house, you make the decision."
Xiao Meier thought for a moment, "How about the day after tomorrow?"
Chen Cheng was about to agree, but he mentally calculated and suddenly remembered the message Li Bo sent last night, arriving in Shanghai.
"Isn’t the day after tomorrow the weekend?" he asked.
"Yes, everyone will be off work then. By then, I’ll ask Zhao Ling to help manage Wanbao Hall, and we’ll..."
"I might have to go out."
Xiao Meier’s idea was interrupted by Chen Cheng’s sudden plans.
She blinked, a bit taken aback, "Where are you going?"
"Mordu."
"Ah? That’s so sudden? How many days will you be there?"
Chen Cheng replied, "Either I leave tomorrow night, or the next morning."
He saw the disappointment in Xiao Meier’s eyes, it was their first separation since they confirmed their relationship.
"Lao Li invited me over," Chen Cheng added, "It’s Li Bo who gave you the earrings at dinner the other day."
Xiao Meier nodded, "I remember him."
"Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a couple of days," reassured Chen Cheng as he held Xiao Meier’s hand.
Xiao Meier sighed gently, "Then take good care of yourself and come back soon."
After a moment, she said, "Then I’ll pack your luggage, not sure how the weather is there. I heard that it gets really cold when it rains."
Chen Cheng: "With you in my heart, every day is sunny wherever I go."
Xiao Meier smiled, "You little charmer, sweet-talking me again!"
"Hahaha..." Chen Cheng pinched Xiao Meier’s cheek, "I leave the home to you, wait for my return."
While Xiao Meier reluctantly accepted, happy to finally have a large house, Chen Cheng had to leave.
But she understood that the current Chen Cheng, unlike before, had his own career.
"Got it!"
The three vehicles continued towards Houhai.
Chen Cheng’s new Chapter, much like the new home they were about to move into, was gradually unfolding.
