Chapter 166: Chapter 157 I Just Want to Be a Good Daughter-in-law to You
Xiao Meier is becoming more charming by the day.
Standing there, she looks like a living painting.
Her pearl-white Chanel tweed dress complements her skin perfectly.
Her lips slightly parted, effortlessly enchanting.
The femininity that radiates from within her is not just due to her attire; it’s also an inherent beauty she carries.
She gazes at the "Arrivals" gate, waiting for the person she’s been longing to see.
Soon, Chen Cheng emerges, pulling his luggage along.
Xiao Meier’s nerves, tense for days, finally relaxed.
Her radiant smile was like the first time they met.
"Husband~!" Xiao Meier called out joyfully, waving her hands.
Chen Cheng, seeing that familiar smile, felt a warm surge in his heart.
He gripped his luggage tighter and hastened his steps.
Three days apart, and Xiao Meier only seemed clearer in his heart.
It was as if in the bustling Daxing Airport, she was the only vivid color present.
"I told you there’s no need to pick me up."
Chen Cheng stood before Xiao Meier, taking her hand, "It’s a long trip for you, aren’t you tired?"
Xiao Meier gently tapped Chen Cheng’s hand, scolding, "Don’t be silly, I wanted to see you, no matter the distance or effort."
Her eyes were filled with tenderness and love.
"You’re so stubborn."
Xiao Meier, tilting her head, playfully blinked, "It’s all because of you."
The two shared a laugh, the rushing crowd around them merely serving as their backdrop.
Chen Cheng took Xiao Meier’s hand, and they headed towards the parking lot together.
Along the way, Xiao Meier excitedly talked about how she’d added many appliances and furniture to their new home.
"I bought a super comfy sofa, thinking we could snuggle up and watch movies on weekends."
"I also picked out a few beautiful paintings..."
Chen Cheng listened with a smile, teasingly asking, "Eh? Haven’t seen you for a few days, and my wife is now into art?"
His gaze swept over Xiao Meier’s voluptuous figure, "You’ve really changed, teeming with artistic vibes all over!"
Xiao Meier gently twisted Chen Cheng’s arm, smiling, "What’s with you, learned some slick talk in Modu, huh?"
"Ouch, ouch." Chen Cheng pleaded playfully, his face still smiling.
Xiao Meier then let go, feigning annoyance, "That’s for your nonsense!"
"I was just joking!" Chen Cheng replied with a smile, "Your taste is definitely top-notch."
"You’ll see for yourself when we get home, hmph!"
As they got into the car, Chen Cheng wrapped his arms around Xiao Meier’s shoulder, leaning in to sniff, "Wife, you smell so nice~"
Xiao Meier weakly pushed him, "Quit your smooth talk." But her smile was undeniably joyful.
"Is it perfume? But it seems not." Chen Cheng sniffed again.
Xiao Meier laughed, "I’m not telling you, figure it out yourself."
Chen Cheng feigned distress, furrowing his brow, "My good wife, don’t keep me in suspense, tell me."
Xiao Meier raised an eyebrow, "Guess first."
Chen Cheng pondered, "Is it a new shampoo?"
Xiao Meier shook her head, "No."
"Then, is it shower gel?" Chen Cheng guessed again.
Xiao Meier continued to shake her head, still smiling, "Guess again."
"Ah, wife, I really can’t figure it out, just tell me."
Xiao Meier then leaned into Chen Cheng’s ear, whispering, "Knowing you were coming back today, I went to Sister Lin’s beauty center early this morning and had an essential oil spa."
"The girl doing the spa told me it’s a mix of roses from Bulgaria and Damascus, so..."
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "So that’s why it’s so unique."
He caressed Xiao Meier’s hand, "It’s really smooth!"
"You’re hopeless!"
"I’m just being honest!" Chen Cheng laughed, "It’s smoother than tofu from the store."
Xiao Meier, amused by Chen Cheng’s words, let out a laugh, lightly slapping his hand, her eyes sparkling, "Alright, alright, I know you’re sweet-tongued!"
Xiao Hai smoothly drove the car out of the parking lot, merging into the city traffic.
Chen Cheng shared his experiences in Modu with Xiao Meier, who listened intently, her eyes brimming with interest in his travel tales.
"From what you say, Modu seems really charming."
Xiao Meier sighed, her gaze filled with longing, "Next time, I should go see it with you too."
"Of course, wife, next time I’ll definitely take you there, we’ll explore together," Chen Cheng readily agreed.
Xiao Meier blinked, "Disney is over there, right?"
Chen Cheng slightly raised his eyebrows, "Yeah, you want to go?"
Xiao Meier nodded, "I’d also like to fly there."
That was unexpected for Chen Cheng, but, thinking it over, given her usual frugality, she probably wouldn’t even buy a high-speed train ticket to return home.
"We’ll fulfill this little wish of yours next time," Chen Cheng said with a smile.
Xiao Meier nodded fervently, "Yes, I’m really excited to experience new things with you, feels like life is full of freshness and surprises."
Chen Cheng, seeing Xiao Meier’s excited expression, felt a warmth and fulfilment in his heart.
He gently held Xiao Meier’s hand, "Wife, your wishes are my responsibility. From now on, wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, I’ll be with you, accomplishing them together."
Moved by his words, Xiao Meier’s eyes slightly welled up.
She firmly gripped Chen Cheng’s hand, her voice slightly choked, "Husband, you’re wonderful. Meeting you is the greatest fortune of my life."
Chen Cheng shook his head with a smile, "Meeting you is my fortune too. Wife, do you know? Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky to meet such a wonderful woman like you."
