Your wife

Chapter 1
It was the morning of Qingming Festival. Chen Rui was woken up by his wife, Wang Qi. Wang Qi pinched his cheek repeatedly, her beautiful eyes smiling. "You keep saying 'good morning,' but you can't get up yourself." Chen Rui opened his eyes, propped himself up, took his wife's hand, and asked, "Is Jiajia up yet?" "Yes." Wang Qi gestured towards the door.
"Daddy, you lazybones!" Their five-year-old daughter, Chen Jia, climbed onto the bed and quickly pounced on him.
"Haha." Chen Rui laughed, hugging Jiajia and kissing her adorable little face.
Wang Qi said from the side, "Stop fooling around, get up. Jiajia, come here, let Daddy get dressed." "Mmm." Jiajia obediently agreed.
"Breakfast is ready," Wang Qi added.
Watching his wife and daughter leave the room, Chen Rui looked out the window. Thick clouds covered the sky; it didn't look like a good day. It was destined to be a sad day.
Chen Rui simply chose a pair of jeans and a jacket, and after putting them on, he went to the bathroom. Wang Qi was braiding Jiajia's hair at the sink, scolding her, "Look at you, you've messed up your hair again in just a short while." His wife, Wang Qi, wasn't from this city; her hometown was a small county far from their current city, and her parents both worked in local government institutions. Chen Rui and Wang Qi met in college; it was love at first sight. Chen Rui was in love with her from the very first glance. Chen Rui himself was also quite accomplished, and he successfully won her over in his first year. After graduation, Chen Rui and Wang Qi completed their postgraduate studies at different universities. Afterward, Chen Rui took Wang Qi back to his hometown. Through family connections, Chen Rui got a government job, while Wang Qi was assigned to a local second-tier university as an English teacher. After many years, marriage was a natural progression.
Now, Chen Rui is thirty-one years old, a mid-level cadre, young and successful. He has a beautiful wife and a happy family life, making countless people envious.
A sudden tragedy struck. Last October, Chen Rui's mother, Tian Jianghui, passed away from late-stage stomach cancer. Although he had been mentally prepared, Chen Rui still couldn't bear such a heavy blow, causing him to be depressed for a long time. And that wasn't all.
After the family of three finished breakfast, Chen Rui drove his wife and daughter to the suburbs. He chose to visit their graves in the morning because he was worried about traffic, the weather, and most importantly, he didn't want to run into anyone he didn't want to see.
In the car, Jiajia sat in the back playing on her tablet while Chen Rui chatted with Wang Qi.
After a moment of silence, Wang Qi said cautiously, "Dad called me last night." "Oh? Did he miss you again?" Chen Rui smiled slightly. "Isn't Dad about to retire? When he retires, let's bring him and Mom to live with us."
Wang Qi corrected him, "It's your father."
Chen Rui's heart sank slightly, and his tone became indifferent. "Is that so?"
Wang Qi looked at Chen Rui's profile. After being immersed in officialdom, his face no longer showed any emotion.
Wang Qi said softly, "You knew he came here, right?" Chen Rui nodded. "I received him."
Wang Qi was slightly taken aback. "I didn't mean anything by it. I just think you two might really need to have a proper talk."
Chen Rui didn't answer, just stared straight ahead, as if he hadn't heard her. Wang Qi glanced at Chen Rui again, and finally sighed softly.
It was already past ten o'clock when they arrived at the cemetery. Many people had already come to pay their respects at the public cemetery. Carrying the offerings prepared in the trunk, they bypassed this section and arrived at the cemetery that the Chen family had bought.
Spoiled Jiajia had been calling out "Daddy, carry me! Daddy, carry me!" Wang Qi, as the "strict mother," insisted that Jiajia walk by herself, while the "loving father," unable to resist Jiajia's adorable whining, scooped her up in his arms.
Wang Qi couldn't help but complain, "If you keep doing this, you'll spoil Jiajia rotten sooner or later." "Mommy's a bad person! Mommy's a bad person!" Jiajia made a face.
"Ouch," Wang Qi said with a laugh, "This little one's really gone too far." He then reached out to spank Jiajia's bottom.
"Ah. Daddy, Daddy..." Jiajia squirmed in his arms.
"With Daddy here, I'm not afraid of bad Mommy."
After a while of this playful antics, the three arrived at the Chen family cemetery and went straight to their mother, Tian Jianghui's, grave.
The inscription on the tombstone was so prominent, a stark reminder to those before it that the deceased was gone, forever separated by death.
Wang Qi and Chen Rui burned paper money and offered incense.
Wang Qi called to Jiajia, "Come and bow to Grandma, let her bless us, Jiajia, with good health and a good university in the future."
Jiajia bowed before the grave. Chen Rui watched, his heart filled with mixed emotions. On one side was his happy, fulfilling family, on the other, his mother lying eternally in the ground. The image of his
mother's last night in the hospital ward before her death still lingered in his mind.
That night, Chen Rui stayed by his mother's bedside. Tian Jianghui held her son's hand, enduring the ravages of illness, yet still looking at her son with a kind smile, not at all like a patient already facing death.
"Mom, it's late, you should rest." At that time, Chen Rui didn't realize that his mother couldn't hold on any longer, or perhaps he didn't want to know.
"Mom is afraid that if tonight passes, there won't be tomorrow night," Tian Jianghui said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense again." Chen Rui's face hardened. "You promised to hold on until Jiajia starts elementary school." "Okay, okay." Tian Jianghui paused for a moment. "Xiao Rui, Mom has something to tell you." "Hmm?"
"These are my dying words."
"Don't talk nonsense again."
This time, Tian Jianghui didn't care about her son's feelings, but continued, "The ancients said that a dying person's words are good. Your life is too good, I have nothing left to tell you, but there is one thing I'm worried about, and if you don't change, I won't be at peace until I die." "Mom, don't say that."
"Your mother has lived a life of disappointment. Only with your father's help did I barely manage to become a department head. I always went with the flow, accepting whatever came my way. I never cared about what your father did. Even when he had other women, I turned a blind eye. I never imagined my son would be so unlike me." Tian Jianghui stroked Chen Rui's head. "When I was little, I was very timid, never daring to travel far. At school, I would avoid anyone with an unfriendly expression, and I would keep my bullying to myself." "You, you've completely inherited your father's traits. Just as strong, capable, and talented as him." "
No. I will never be like him," Chen Rui said firmly.
"With those words from you, I'm relieved. Qiqi is a good child; you can't let her down," Tian Jianghui said. "You're just like your father, but there's one thing you're not, and that's what I can't shake off." "What thing?" Chen Rui was taken aback.
"You're not as ruthless as him."
"Ah?" Chen Rui exclaimed in surprise.
Tian Jianghui said, "I've followed your father for decades. I've watched him climb from a lowly clerk to his current position. These decades... he's weathered every storm. Xiao Rui, do you know how treacherous people can be?"
Chen Rui nodded.
"No, you don't know. You reached the division level at thirty, but you know how you got there." This was a sore spot for Chen Rui, and he couldn't speak for a moment.
"Only if you collude with those people will they not treat you like an outsider. Your self-righteousness will only bring you trouble sooner or later."
"I know," Chen Rui replied softly.
"You can't be too careful," Tian Jianghui sighed. "Actually, whether you become corrupt or ruthless in the future, I won't blame you. These days, who among those people is truly innocent?" "Mom, stop talking, go to sleep. Get some rest, or your body won't be able to handle it." "Don't rush me, let me finish. In short, you must remember, you can't always have such a smooth life. The most important thing for an official is to be patient. You must promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you must endure it. With your father as your backer, as long as you can remain calm, your future achievements will not be inferior to your father's."
Mentioning "father" several times, Chen Rui's heart sank, and he simply nodded.
Tian Jianghui watched, sighing softly. "That puts half my mind at ease. Now only the other half remains."
"Mom, tell me."
"I hope you can reconcile with your father. This is my last wish. If you don't agree, I won't die in peace."
"Mom!" Chen Rui was shocked.
"Just remember that..." After talking for so long, Tian Jianghui was exhausted, so exhausted she wanted to sleep forever.
Tears streamed down Chen Rui's face. This was his mother, who loved him deeply. Even though she hated the man who abandoned her, she would choose to forgive him for her son's future.
Gathering his memories, Chen Rui looked up at the sky. The sky was high and the clouds low, vast and boundless, stirring his thoughts. "Mom, are you watching over us from heaven?"
After nearly two hours on the mountain, Jiajia started to feel bored and started clamoring to go home.
Spoiled Jiajia knew her father was easy to talk to, so she clung to Chen Rui's hand, shaking it repeatedly, "Daddy, let's go home." "Go back quickly." "Daddy, I'm hungry." In the end, Chen Rui could only quickly sweep through the Chen family cemetery, burn some paper money, and then go home.
After having a meal at a Hunan restaurant with his family, Chen Rui finally returned home.
With some rare free time, Chen Rui decided to teach Jiajia to write.
Jiajia was reluctant, and after writing only one line of the character "four," she looked aggrieved. "Daddy, let's write it tomorrow."
Chen Rui, unusually persistent, said, "Write one more line. Be good, just one more line." Holding Jiajia's hand, he wrote two more lines, and tears welled up in Jiajia's eyes. "Daddy, Jiajia doesn't want to write anymore."
His beloved daughter's tears startled Chen Rui. Just then, Wang Qi happened to pass by the door and said, "Look how you spoil her. Now you know you were wrong, right?"
Chen Rui said, "Anyway, she's a girl... If she doesn't want to write, she doesn't have to. Daddy will take you out to play." Jiajia instantly beamed with joy. "I want to buy a sheep..."
Wang Qi glanced at the pile of plush toys on the bed, glared at Chen Rui, and said, "I don't care anymore, do whatever you want." "
Honey, don't be angry. If we don't love our daughter now, we won't have a chance later." Chen Rui picked up Jiajia and headed out. As he was putting on his shoes at the door, Chen Rui's phone rang in the living room.
He was grateful for the call; he had forgotten to bring his cell phone.
Wang Qi handed over the phone, saying, "It's Dad calling."
Chen Rui took the phone and glanced at the number. It was his secretary's number; the secretary had used this number to contact him when he was in charge of receiving guests the day before yesterday. Chen Rui hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.
"Hello." A slightly aged voice answered.
Chen Rui recognized it; it was his father, the current Vice Governor Chen Qiping.
"Hello," Chen Rui replied.
"Is it convenient to meet now?" Getting straight to the point was indeed Chen Qiping's usual style.
Wang Qi was looking at him with concern when Chen Rui remembered his mother's dying words and finally asked, "Where?" The voice on the other end gave an address, and Chen Rui responded calmly, "I know. I'll be there now." "Give Jiajia to me."
Chen Rui forced a smile. "No need. I won't talk to him for long. Anyway, I can take Jiajia out for a walk." "That's not appropriate." "
It's alright ,"
Jiajia chimed in. "I want to go out."
Wang Qi couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she let Chen Rui take Jiajia out.
Chen Rui drove to a bungalow. He hadn't lived in this house for many years since his falling out with Chen Qiping. Chen Qiping had been staying in the provincial capital, so the house had remained empty.
Jiajia hadn't been here since she was old enough to understand, and she asked Chen Rui, "Dad, whose house is this?" Chen Rui thought for a moment, deciding not to involve the children in the adults' grievances, and said, "It's your grandfather's." "Grandpa?" Jiajia was clearly unfamiliar with the title.
The door was open, and Chen Rui rang the doorbell. His secretary, Li Shui, came out, glanced at Jiajia, and said, "Come in quickly, the governor has been waiting for you for a long time."
Following Li Shui into the house, Chen Rui was genuinely surprised. Since his mother, Tian Jianghui, moved out to live with him five years ago, the house had been empty. He hadn't expected it to be so clean and fully furnished now.
It didn't look like a house that had been vacant for almost five years.
"You must be surprised," Li Shui said with a smile. "The governor ordered this place to be renovated six months ago."
Chen Rui asked, "Is he planning to retire?"
"Well... I don't know." Li Shui led Chen Rui and Jiajia to the study door and said, "The governor is inside. Please go in."
Chen Rui carried Jiajia and slowly walked in. A man with jet-black hair and old-fashioned glasses was looking down at a thick book.
Sensing the arrival of the men, Chen Qiping looked up. When he saw Chen Rui and Jiajia, his square face lost its usual sternness and instead beamed with a kind smile. For a moment, Chen Rui even had a strange feeling—was this his father?
Chen Qiping got up and walked over. "Jiajia, do you still recognize Grandpa?" Jiajia turned to look at Chen Rui.
Chen Rui said softly, "Call him Grandpa."
"Grandpa," Jiajia's voice was clear and melodious.
"Hey! Good girl. Here, take this, it's a red envelope from Grandpa." Seeing the red envelope, Chen Rui thought that Wang Qi must have secretly informed him, otherwise why would he have prepared a red envelope?
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"Hey! Good girl, good girl. This little girl looks just like her mother." Chen Rui took the red envelope from Jiajia's hand, holding it in his hand. It was heavy, indicating that it contained a lot of money. Chen Rui put the red envelope into Jiajia's pocket, put Jiajia down, and said, "Jiajia, go play outside for a while, I'll talk to Grandpa for a bit."
Jiajia pulled Chen Rui's hand and said, "I'm scared."
Chen Qiping smiled and said, "Jiajia, don't go anywhere, come to Grandpa's side." Jiajia looked up and asked Chen Rui for his opinion. With an indescribable feeling, Chen Rui finally patted Jiajia's back and said, "Go on."
Jiajia's big eyes darted around as she walked step by step to Chen Qiping's side. Chen Qiping picked her up and touched the child's face, "Jiajia, how old are you?"
"Five years old," Jiajia answered.
"Five years old. Your father was already in school when he was your age..." Chen Qiping recalled the past, paused, and turned to Chen Rui, saying, "When did you stop hating me?" Chen Rui's lips twitched, and he said, "I'm no longer a resentful, angry young man." "Good, very good, you've matured a lot." "
What do you want to talk to me about today?"
"I only have you as my son." Chen Qiping's smile gradually disappeared.
"And you only have your mother as your wife." Chen Rui retorted sharply.
Chen Qiping seemed unconcerned, "You'll understand in the future. It seems we father and son will never see eye to eye, so I'll get straight to the point. The organization has decided to give you special training, do you have any objections?" Chen Rui's heart raced, but he didn't want to show weakness, much less accept favors, even though it was the truth. Chen Rui said,
"That's all?"
"Of course not, you'd find out sooner or later. I was just seeing your attitude, and you really are like this," Chen Qiping said.
Chen Qiping put Jiajia down and called out, "Xiao Li."
Li Shui quickly appeared at the door. Chen Qiping said, "Xiao Li, take Jiajia around." Only Chen Qiping and Chen Rui remained in the study. Chen Qiping said, "Jiang Hui called me only once last year."
Chen Rui just sneered.
"I'm happy for your achievements today. Jiang Hui and your mother are right, we are father and son after all, and that blood relationship cannot be severed. I'm getting old, and someone has to take my place. While I'm still in power, I'll help you if I can."
Hearing his father speak with such humility, Chen Rui was momentarily taken aback. "What exactly are you trying to say?" "Have you forgotten your mother's last words?"
Chen Rui was both shocked and angry. He had only told these words to Wang Qi; it must have been Wang Qi who leaked them to him.
His mother's words echoed in his ears. Chen Rui gritted his teeth: "Don't you feel even a little bit remorse?" Chen Qiping snorted. "Remorse?"
Chen Rui was furious. He vividly remembered Chen Qiping's indifference towards his mother back then. "Don't say anymore. I will remember what I promised Mom. I can handle my own affairs. I don't need you to tell me what to do." Chen Qiping said calmly, "If you no longer treat me as an enemy, then today's meeting wasn't a complete waste." "I'm leaving." Chen Rui turned to leave.
"Wait."
"What else? Speak quickly."
"I'm going back tomorrow. Seeing you like this, I'm really worried. Being emotional is your biggest weakness."
"Hmph." Chen Rui suppressed his anger, "So you can treat Mom like an unrelated person, so you can abandon her, all you care about is your official position? Let me tell you, I will never listen to you. My heart isn't just about my future, but also about my wife and my daughter! They are more important than my life!"
Chen Qiping waved his hand and said, "Go."
Chen Rui quickly walked out of the study. Li Shui and Jiajia were looking at potted plants outside in the yard.
Li Shui saw Chen Rui and asked, "Are you leaving so soon?"
Chen Rui didn't respond. Chen Rui waved to Jiajia, "Jiajia, come here, let's go home. Daddy will take you to buy sheep."
Chapter Two
After leaving his hometown, Chen Rui was depressed.
Chen Rui entered officialdom at the age of 24. At that time, Chen Rui and Chen Qiping had not yet severed ties. Chen Rui, the only son of his generation in the Chen family, was expected to achieve great things from a young age. From the moment he entered officialdom, his starting point and advantages were unmatched by ordinary people.
Chen Rui was never arrogant. Although he and Chen Qiping had a falling out a few years ago because of his mother's affair, Chen Rui's work was unaffected; he continued to be promoted. At his age, he was appointed deputy director of the municipal propaganda department. Having witnessed the ups and downs of officialdom, Chen Rui didn't believe this was primarily due to his exceptional abilities.
However, Chen Rui had his pride, especially after Tian Jianghui's death, which made him want to rely entirely on his own abilities rather than on Chen Qiping, who had abandoned his wife.
However, Tian Jianghui and Wang Qi both knew that Chen Rui needed Chen Qiping's backing to advance further. Therefore, before her death, Tian Jianghui had to forgive her betraying husband for the sake of her son's future.
Thinking of his mother's dying words, Chen Rui didn't want to reconcile with his father, but he couldn't forgive Chen Qiping's actions. "If you choose to forget, does that mean you will betray your family again when faced with the same temptation?"
Throughout the drive, Jiajia seemed to sense her father's bad mood, sitting quietly in the passenger seat, her big eyes darting left and right.
Looking at his adorable daughter, Chen Rui thought of his wife, Wang Qi, realizing she must have already reconnected with Chen Qiping.
Chen Rui sighed inwardly; he understood her good intentions.
Since Mom could choose to forgive, why should he dwell on it? Thinking this, Chen Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief. But their father-son relationship could never be the same again.
Chen Rui drove to a toy store, bought several plush toys with Jiajia, and his mood improved, influenced by Jiajia's lively personality.
When they got home, Wang Qi had already prepared dinner. Seeing the toys Chen Rui was carrying, she couldn't help but scold him a few times.
After dinner, they tidied up for a while. A guest arrived—his secretary, Li Shui.
Li Shui was about thirty years old, slender, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking every bit the frail scholar. Li Shui smiled and said, "Comrade Chen Rui, I'm sorry to bother you." Chen Rui was a little puzzled, but Wang Qi, who was standing nearby, said warmly, "Don't stand there, come in if you have something to do." Li Shui nodded his thanks, and Chen Rui led Li Shui to sit down in the living room. Li Shui spoke first, "Governor Chen forgot to tell you something, and specifically asked me to come."
"Just a phone call would have been enough, no need for all this trouble." "Not at all, not at all. I'm so sorry to bother you now." Li Shui smiled, paused, and said, "Here's the thing. Actually, the governor wanted to tell you this afternoon, but he was afraid you'd be resistant, so he asked me to ask for your opinion. He hopes you'll seriously consider it."
Chen Rui said "Oh," recalling Chen Qiping's hesitant manner this afternoon
, and then said, "Go ahead." Li Shui pushed up his glasses, "You've probably heard about the turmoil in the officialdom of nearby Zhongshuo County." Zhongshuo County is under the jurisdiction of this city, forty kilometers away. Recently, the county party secretary's investigation has triggered an earthquake, and everyone in the officialdom is on edge. Chen Rui nodded and said, "I've heard about it."
"Now the leadership there is going to be reshuffled, which is a great opportunity." Li Shui said, giving Chen Rui a meaningful look, "The governor will do everything he can to ensure you get into the new leadership team." Hearing this, Chen Rui was taken aback. Li Shui continued, "Opportunities like this to train at the grassroots level are rare; it's both an opportunity and a challenge. The governor hopes you'll consider it carefully."
It seems Li Shui is Chen Qiping's confidant. Chen Rui pondered these words and said, "I can't agree to that now."
"That's alright," Li Shui said, "There's plenty of time."
Song Tao, now a member of the municipal party committee's standing committee and head of the organization department, was promoted by Chen Qiping himself, which provides endless possibilities for a transfer. Chen Rui doesn't doubt Chen Qiping's abilities; he's actually at a loss.
At this moment, Wang Qi brought over two cups of tea, and Li Shui thanked him repeatedly.
During this brief respite, Chen Rui understood Chen Qiping's good intentions. Chen Qiping had first probed, but seeing the atmosphere was awkward, he changed the subject, having Li Shui inform him of the situation, afraid that Chen Rui would refuse.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui felt a strange mix of emotions towards his father, Chen Qiping. He said, "I will consider it carefully." Li Shui said, "You must decide as soon as possible. There are many candidates in the organization; don't delay." Li Shui glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. The governor's car is tomorrow; I need to go back and prepare. I apologize for disturbing you."
Chen Rui and Wang Qi didn't try to stop him and saw Li Shui off. Chen Rui fell into deep thought. Seeing his troubled expression, Wang Qi patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think about it. Take Jiajia out for a walk." Chen Rui forced a smile. Since even his mother had given up, why should he make things difficult for himself?
The family of three walked along the Zhijiang River to the largest square in the city, the Zhijiang People's Square. The square was bustling with activity, the music from square dancing deafening; it had become a paradise for the elderly.
The trampoline was Jiajia's favorite, and as soon as they arrived at the square, she cried out to go. Just then, someone called out, "Minister Chen."
Chen Rui turned around. The person greeting him was Yu Jinxi, the director of the research office, nearly fifty years old, round and plump. Standing beside him was a tall, stout young man with acne-covered skin; he was probably his son. Upon recognizing the visitor, Chen Rui smiled and said, "It's Director Yu! What a coincidence! Are you here for a walk too?" He then looked at the young man, "Is this your son?"
Yu Jinxi replied, "Yes, this is my son, Yu Hao. Hao Hao, quickly say hello to Uncle Chen." Yu Hao called out "Uncle Chen," and then, noticing Wang Qi standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise,
"Teacher Wang!"
Wang Qi, who was playing with Jiajia, only then noticed Yu Hao, and, slightly surprised, smiled and said, "It's Yu Hao! What a small world!" Wang Qi explained to Chen Rui, "This child is my student." Yu Hao then explained to his father, "Teacher Wang is my English teacher." Wang Jinxi said "Oh," and added, "I see. I'll have to ask Teacher Wang to take care of him more often. My child is a bit disappointing; you must be strict with him."
"Not at all, not at all," Wang Qi quickly said, "Yu Hao is usually very hardworking." "I know my child best," Wang Jinxi said, "I must treat you to a meal another day." Chen Rui said, "Old Yu, your son is in university now, the methods from high school don't work anymore." "University is still learning, anyway, I'll still ask Teacher Wang to help supervise him in the future." "Okay, okay," Wang Qi agreed repeatedly.
Jiajia was a little impatient and tugged at my clothes, "Dad, let's go." Hearing his beloved daughter's urging, Chen Rui said goodbye to Wang Jinxi. Wang Jinxi's smiling face disappeared as Chen Rui walked away, and his old face instantly became weathered. Wang Jinxi looked at Chen Rui's back and silently murmured, "Old Yu..."
The night passed quickly, and at 9:30 pm, it was time to put the little one to bed again. This task naturally fell to Chen Rui, which was actually a task he had volunteered for.
Storytelling was Chen Rui's winning strategy. Jiajia blinked her big eyes and smiled sweetly. Looking at his adorable daughter, Chen Rui sometimes didn't want her to fall asleep early during a story, so he could talk to her a little longer.
To tell good stories, Chen Rui had put in a lot of effort, reading various storybooks repeatedly, always well-prepared. Therefore, his stories were always exceptionally engaging. This time, when Chen Rui told Jiajia the story of "Sun Wukong Thrice Beats the White Bone Demon," he was surprised that Jiajia not only didn't fall asleep, but became unusually energetic. Jiajia
clamored for another story, and Chen Rui persuaded her, "Only one a day. It's already late, Jiajia, be good, go to sleep."
Jiajia pouted and whine. Chen Rui couldn't do anything about Jiajia at this point and was about to tell another one when Wang Qi, who had just finished showering, walked in. She quickly displayed her "strict mother" nature, scaring Jiajia into silence, and she obediently turned off the light and went to sleep.
Stepping out of her daughter's room, Wang Qi scolded, "You shouldn't spoil her like that anymore." Chen Rui just smiled, not taking it to heart. Wang Qi, who had just showered, wore a light nightgown. Her long, dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance. She had a classic oval face, slender, willow-leaf eyebrows, deep-set eyes, a high nose, and rosy lips. Over the years, Wang Qi had matured considerably; beneath her nightgown, her firm breasts and shapely buttocks made her figure alluring and curvaceous.
Chen Rui instinctively reached out and pulled Wang Qi into his arms. Wang Qi playfully complained, "Go take a shower, you stink!" Chen Rui chuckled, kissed Wang Qi on the cheek, and said, "Wait for me in bed... I'll shower quickly." Wang Qi wriggled out of Chen Rui's arms, made a face, and said, "I won't wait for you... you're too late." After showering, Chen Rui returned to the room. Wang Qi was wearing glasses and leaning against the headboard reading a book. Chen Rui quickly got into bed, leaned over, and asked, "What are you reading?"
Wang Qi closed the book; the cover was entirely in English. "Nothing. It's part of my recent project—translating this book into Chinese."
Chen Rui nodded and said, "Wang Qi... do you and my dad contact each other often?" Wang Qi was taken aback and said, "Of course not. Don't misunderstand, you know I really hope you and your dad reconcile."
Chen Rui sighed. "Some things can't be undone."
"I know that," Wang Qi said softly, "but maybe you should try." "Actually, I'm very confused. I don't know what I'm really thinking. I don't know if I really hate him," Chen Rui said.
"Since you don't know, then you should let go of that hatred. There's no knot that can't be untied, especially since you're father and son."
"I understand," Chen Rui said somewhat helplessly, "Over the past few years, I've come to terms with it." "That's good, that's my good husband," Wang Qi smiled.
Chen Rui smiled and said, "I can't control other people's business, I can only control myself. Even if I forgive him, I will never be like him."
Wang Qi leaned her head on Chen Rui's shoulder. "I'll remember that. If anyone goes out and finds other girls, hmph, I won't let that scoundrel get away with it."
"Ha, you'd be better off thinking about how to cook a good meal." Chen Rui paused, then said,
"He wants me to go to Zhongshuo County now, what do you think?"
"This is such a rare opportunity!" Wang Qi said. "Last night I was worried you'd be too stubborn and refuse. Maybe you'll be the Party Secretary when you're transferred back in a few years."
"It's not that exaggerated." Chen Rui said, "I also think this opportunity is good, but I'm a little reluctant to give it up." "What are you reluctant to give up?" Chen Rui
said resentfully, "You're so stupid, of course you're reluctant to give up you and Jiajia." Wang Qi retorted, "You're the stupid one. You're going to be a high-ranking official in the county, so I, as your wife, will have to go and enjoy a life of leisure with you."
"Really?" Chen Rui was delighted. "But... what about your job?" "I'll just keep going." Wang Qi glanced at Chen Rui slyly. "Zhongshuo County isn't far. I can go back on weekends and weekdays..."
"However..." Wang Qi added, "It's a bit troublesome that Jiajia is changing schools." "I knew it..."
Wang Qi immediately interrupted, "What did you say? This is a golden opportunity. Rather than being a powerless deputy minister in the city, you should go to the county and take real power. You should cherish your career." "I know, I know." Chen Rui suddenly grinned mischievously. "Real power or just a facade, I don't care now."
Wang Qi glared at him.
Chen Rui continued, "Right now, the power I most want to exercise is..." "What?" Wang Qi asked curiously.
"The power to make love to you." Chen Rui suddenly pounced on her, eliciting a scream from Wang Qi.
Chen Rui pinned Wang Qi down beneath him. Wang Qi's face was so exquisite; after maturing, it held an added allure. Chen Rui was mesmerized. Wang Qi blushed and said, "Keep your voice down, or you'll wake your precious daughter."
Chen Rui's lips curled into a smile. "Don't worry, don't you know? I'm always very gentle..." He lowered his head and kissed Wang Qi's lips. Wang Qi closed her eyes and gently responded to her husband's kiss. Wang Qi's lips were so soft. After a forceful kiss, Chen Rui's kisses moved downwards, brushing across her fair neck and reaching her chest. The thin nightgown became an obstacle. Chen Rui's left hand gently traced across Wang Qi's chest, beginning to unbutton her nightgown.
Wang Qi cooperated, slowly unbuttoning her nightgown and removing her bra. Snow-white, tender skin appeared before Chen Rui's eyes, and two round, firm, and beautiful breasts emerged from her fair skin.
Her entire upper body was perfectly toned, without an ounce of excess fat, looking nothing like a woman who had given birth. She was so beautiful that Chen Rui almost couldn't bear to violate her. Chen Rui reached out and gently cupped her trembling breasts, kneading them carefully, afraid of hurting the woman beneath him.
Even so, Wang Qi let out soft moans, quickly aroused.
Chen Rui's kisses fell again, lightly touching Wang Qi's body like dragonflies skimming the water, the tingling sensation causing Wang Qi to arch her back, her moans becoming even more indistinct.
Chen Rui's hand reached down to Wang Qi's genitals, slipping inside her panties and covering her vulva. It was wet to the touch, and Chen Rui couldn't help but marvel at how sensitive she was.
Chen Rui's hand gently slid between her labia. Stimulated, Wang Qi squinted, tugged at Chen Rui's hand, and mumbled, "Quick."
Understanding perfectly, Chen Rui quickly pulled down his underwear. His penis was already erect, and he couldn't hold back any longer. After removing Wang Qi's underwear, he thrust into her.
"Mmm..." Wang Qi groaned softly.
"Oh no, I forgot my condom," Chen Rui suddenly remembered.
"Silly girl. It's my safe period today," Wang Qi said, both amused and exasperated.
"I'm sorry, wife," Chen Rui began to thrust.
Chen Rui's movements were gentle, not large, not fast, just as he had said, so gentle.
Before Chen Rui was not just a beautiful body, but also the embodiment of all his love. He loved the woman beneath him, he loved this beautiful body.
It began gently, and it ended gently.
After ejaculating, Chen Rui lay down weakly.
The future was still bright, because he possessed everything.
