Chapter 1092: Chapter 1098: Old Husband and Old Wife
Another year of spring brought warmth and blooming flowers, as Tan Zhenghong’s family prepared to set out for Mansion City.
Previously, Tan Zhenghong had entrusted Qin Longyun to rent out their shop in Mansion City for two years. However, since the renters suddenly had to deal with an urgent matter and gave up the lease, they decided to move their departure date forward.
The evening before departure, Qiao Duo’er expressed her feelings: "After living here for so long, I suddenly find it hard to leave."
More than two years had made her familiar with everything in Big Willow Village—both the people and the surroundings, which she had grown accustomed to.
"As long as you and the child are with me, I’ll feel at home anywhere." 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Tan Zhenghong said with a smile.
Without Qiao Duo’er, this place wouldn’t truly be home.
Qiao Duo’er covered her cheeks: "We’ve been married for ages, can’t you be a little more subtle? I’m going to get a cavity from all this sweetness."
"What do you mean, ’married for ages’? Just last night was twice, the night before was three times, and the night before that was a bit less, only once."
Tan Zhenghong recalled seriously; they had previously been full of passion.
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes: "A man has a limited number of times he can be ’up to the task.’ Don’t run out of steam in a couple of years."
Anyway, she deeply felt that Tan Zhenghong was way too flirty.
Tan Zhenghong stretched out his hand to draw Duo’er into his embrace, nibbling at her ear as he spoke: "I think no matter how old I am, just seeing you will get me going. Let’s wait and see if you don’t believe me."
Qiao Duo’er suddenly pictured an old couple wrapped in each other’s embrace and couldn’t help but shiver at the thought.
Youthful spouses become companions in old age; in the future, she would be content simply watching the stars and the moon together.
As for the rest, best to do it while they were still young.
"Wife, I think you’ll look down on me when I get older," Tan Zhenghong pouted as he spoke.
He could already visualize his wife’s disdainful look.
My God, what would he do then?
Qiao Duo’er said with a full head of imaginary black lines: "You think I’ll start despising you only when you get old?"
She was already at her wits’ end with him, wasn’t she?
Tan Zhenghong huffed: "Then I’ll run away from home."
"Fine, I’ll just find someone I actually like then."
Both of them were having a blast bantering, so engrossed that neither realized they were hugging each other the whole time.
Some couples seem to immerse themselves in showing off their affection no matter what they do.
Before they could bask in their sweetness for much longer, a milky voice piped up.
"Daddy, Mommy, it’s shameful," Tangyuan said, covering his eyes, but he left a gap between his fingers.
"You just have to not look," Tan Zhenghong said with no pressure at all.
His son and daughter, only a year and four months old, were incredibly sharp, as if there wasn’t anything in this world they didn’t understand.
Qiao Duo’er slipped out from Tan Zhenghong’s embrace and rubbed Tangyuan’s little head: "Didn’t I tell you to chat with grandma and your brother for a while? How come you ran back so quickly?"
By now, the Wang Clan practically considered the two children their lifeblood. Their departure on this long journey would likely cause much heartache.
Tangyuan’s face scrunched up: "It’s bullying to kick the kids out just because you want to kiss and don’t want me to see."
Qiao Duo shook her head. She wasn’t trying to kick the children out to get affectionate; she just wanted to exchange a few loving words while the children weren’t around.
"Where’s your brother?"
Tan Zhenghong immediately changed the subject, as discussing intimacy with his own children wasn’t exactly appropriate.
"Brother is pooping, grandma told me to call you guys."
Tan Zhenghong nodded: "Then let’s go together and see what grandma needs."
He picked up Tangyuan, then gave Duo’er a look: "You wash up first, and wait for me to come back."
They were leaving on a long journey tomorrow; they might as well have one last round tonight.
