When Qiao Jiusheng thought that Fang Yusheng, who had slept with her, would one day get entangled with another woman, she felt disgusted.

  She did not say anything, but her reaction made Fang Yusheng very happy.

  After putting away her wallet, she realized that her laptop had been opened too. Qiao Jiusheng asked Fang Yusheng in confusion, “You even touched my laptop?” She walked over and moved her mouse. The laptop screen instantly lit up.

  “…”


  On the computer screen appeared a picture of Fang Yusheng’s lips curled into a devilish and arrogant smile.

  She stared at the two small dots on the man’s chest in the photo and thought: It would’ve been fine if he had clothes. This is a little indecent and embarrassing.

  Qiao Jiusheng felt her emotions go into turmoil.

  She finally realized something was wrong with Fang Yusheng.

  After thinking about it, Qiao Jiusheng found the culprit. She walked to Fang Yusheng’s side, squatted down, and placed her hand on his leg. This surprised Fang Yusheng, and he subconsciously lowered his head. He even opened his eyes. Coincidentally, Qiao Jiusheng was looking at him.

  Fang Yusheng: “…”


  Qiao Jiusheng narrowed her eyes and asked, “Why are you opening your eyes?”


  Fang Yusheng calmly replied, “I can’t see anyway. Can’t you let me open my eyes?”


  Qiao Jiusheng hummed in agreement.

  “Why are you suddenly fawning on me?” Fang Yusheng did not think that she loved him so much that she would act coquettishly with him anytime.

  To be precise, she did not love him at all.

  Qiao Jiusheng coughed and cleared her throat. She said, “There’s nothing between Wei Shuyi and me. There’s no ambiguity.”


  Fang Yusheng stopped smiling.

  “You trust him a lot.” He refused to admit that he was jealous of Wei Shuyi.

  Qiao Jiusheng was silent.

  Her silence meant affirmation.

  Fang Yusheng raised his hand and caressed Qiao Jiusheng’s hair. After touching it for a long time, he said, “Ah Sheng, you can trust me in the future.” He pinched Qiao Jiusheng’s ear and continued, “We are husband and wife. We suffer together. Perhaps, we will suffer together in the future. I want to be the person you trust.

  “I hope you trust me, but not because we’re in the same boat or because of our marriage. What I want is for you to trust me from the bottom of your heart.”


  Qiao Jiusheng seriously listened and did not immediately answer Fang Yusheng.

  Qiao Jiusheng looked up and stared at Fang Yusheng. She suddenly smiled. Standing up, she looked at the clear sun outside the window and said to Fang Yusheng in a good mood, “Fang Yusheng, the weather is perfect. Let’s go for a walk.”


  Fang Yusheng got up and changed his clothes. He followed Qiao Jiusheng and walked out of the Fang family home.

  The Fang family home was in the suburbs, far away from the city center. On the east side of the Fang family home was a street with ancient buildings on its sides. The houses on both sides of the street were Ming Dynasty buildings, and every household had planted camellias. After the Lantern Festival, the temperature had already warmed up, and some of the camellias had grown buds. Some had even bloomed.

  Qiao Jiusheng led Fang Yusheng to this street.

  She had brought a camera.

  Today, she was dressed in a blue beaded dress and a white sweater. The sun was high now, so she had not worn a jacket. She felt especially comfortable under the sun.

  When Fang Yusheng left the house, Qiao Jiusheng had specially chosen a light coffee-colored suit for him and a navy blue shirt. The two of them walked on the antique streets, looking eye-catching.

  “Yusheng, come, stand here.”


  Qiao Jiusheng led Fang Yusheng to a cluster of camellia trees. She then asked him to squat down and take pictures. “Lower your head and bend down. Act like you’re smelling the fragrance of tea.”


  Fang Yusheng’s comprehension ability was strong. After Qiao Jiusheng finished speaking, he understood her and posed as she wanted.

  “Hold on.”


  Qiao Jiusheng took two steps away and aimed the camera at Fang Yusheng, who was sniffing the flowers, to capture this scene.

  Fang Yusheng looked up and asked her, “Done?”


  “Yeah.”


  Qiao Jiusheng said, “Let’s go.”
