After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 232 Dispelling Concerns

Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Dispelling Concerns

On New Year’s Eve, there was plenty of time to stay up late, so Shen Qingqing actually painted a family portrait.

The three of them snuggled closely together.

Very happy.

She planned to take this painting back to her dorm, frame it, and place it in a prominent spot so she could see it every day.

At Jiang Zhixun’s request, she even painted a "childhood photo" of the two of them.

Two little babies lying side by side, chubby and adorable.

"We grew up together," Jiang Zhixun said.

Shen Qingqing twitched her lips, "Stop fooling yourself."

Jiang Zhixun might have met her during her baby years.

But during Jiang Zhixun’s baby years, her parents hadn’t even gotten married yet!

Jiang Zhixun realized this as well.

But he remained stubborn, "We really are childhood sweethearts!"

Shen Qingqing came to the Jiang Family when she was fifteen, their lives had already been intertwined.

If they’re not childhood sweethearts, what are they?

"I’ll go find a frame to put it in." This was the best New Year’s gift he received.

For her painting to be treasured, Shen Qingqing was of course happy.

She urged Jiang Zhixun, "Go find one quickly."

After some hustle, Jiang Zhixun solemnly hung the framed picture on the wall.

This is a gift from the one he loves, so it should be displayed proudly!

Jiang Zhixun remembered the picture Shen Qingqing drew for him when they went hiking.

"I’ll have it framed whenever I find time and hang it together."

Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow, "Then why not set up an art studio while you’re at it."

There were still vacant rooms on the second floor.

Shen Qingqing was just speaking casually, but Jiang Zhixun took it seriously.

"I’ll start tomorrow."

Shen Qingqing was a bit taken aback, "I’m quite busy with work, no time for painting, no need to go through the trouble."

Once she buys a house, she can set up a room.

In her own house, she can do whatever she wants.

Jiang Zhixun: "Even if it’s vacant, it’s still vacant, let’s clear it out first."

Looking at the time, it was already past midnight.

The first day of the Lunar New Year had arrived!

This time last year, he thought he had completely lost Shen Qingqing.

Jiang Zhixun couldn’t bear to recall those gloomy days.

He was grateful that he waited for Shen Qingqing to come back, and grateful she gave him a second chance.

He hugged her tightly, wishing he could merge her into his very being, never to part.

His voice deep, "This is our first year, and we must be together every year from now on."

Shen Qingqing embraced his lean waist, resting against his chest, hearing the strong heartbeat.

"Show me how you do."

Back then, she had the courage to divorce, unafraid of gossip.

If Jiang Zhixun forgot his original intentions, or if this relationship didn’t bring her positive nourishment, she would choose to part ways again.

Jiang Zhixun looked down at her, prideful, "I won’t let you leave."

One divorce was already a deep regret for him.

If it happened again, he’d be a fool!

Shen Qingqing looked up, meeting the emotions in his eyes, "Then treat me well, otherwise, it won’t matter if you won’t let go."

As she finished speaking, she was suddenly scooped up horizontally.

Shen Qingqing quickly wrapped her arms around Jiang Zhixun’s neck, "What are you doing?"

He looked at her with all sincerity, "Being good to you, so you won’t want to leave."

Shen Qingqing bit his shoulder, "We’re at home, stop fooling around!"

This was their marital home, they should have been living together, doing all the intimate things couples do.

Jiang Zhixun: "And if we’re not at home?"

Shen Qingqing: "Don’t twist my words."

Jiang Zhixun had already laid her on the bed, propping himself up on either side, avoiding putting his weight on her.

"Where, then? Or should we head out now?"

He was doing it on purpose.

Although he had no intention of doing such things, he deliberately teased her.

Shen Qingqing initially agreed to date him just to have some joyous moments together.

But not only have they not done anything, he also kept teasing her.

Not to be outdone, she pulled out the hem of his shirt tucked in his pants.

Jiang Zhixun suddenly felt a bit tense.

Yet he fully cooperated with Shen Qingqing, allowing her hands to roam.

Her palms were warm, but her fingertips were cold.

Stimulating his senses.

With her controlling him, Jiang Zhixun’s Adam’s apple bobbed, this was the most proactive she’d ever been.

Was she just teasing with a kiss and a hug like before or would she take a step further?

"Wife, what’s the meaning of this?"

In less than half a minute, his voice had already changed.

Shen Qingqing’s earlobes were burning hot, too shy to meet his gaze, "What do you think?"

Even though she didn’t look up, the gaze on her was becoming more intense.

They were both adults, the more ambiguous the atmosphere, the more dangerous it became.

Jiang Zhixun’s body temperature was scarily hot, the shirt he was wearing on his upper body had mysteriously disappeared.

Just when he was about to take the lead, he heard Shen Qingqing say, "Shower first."

She had already showered, but Jiang Zhixun hadn’t.

No matter how eager he was, Jiang Zhixun couldn’t just ignore what Shen Qingqing said.

Enduring the discomfort, "Wait for me, it won’t take long."

As the weight lifted off her, Shen Qingqing only had time to see Jiang Zhixun’s back.

She quickly got out of bed, locking the bedroom door behind her.

Now let’s see how he can tease!

Jiang Zhixun had good eyesight, his hearing was also excellent.

Hearing the locking sound, he felt troubled; his wife was doing it on purpose!

Glancing down, no wonder she was so proactive earlier, as if betting everything on this moment!

He turned back and knocked on the door.

"Open the door."

No response from inside, confirming Jiang Zhixun’s suspicions.

He felt like he was in disarray.

Who else gets kicked out by their wife in the middle of the night?

And it’s New Year’s...

He said pitifully, "My clothes are still inside."

Shen Qingqing let out a hum, "Then keep going around naked, after all, no one is watching."

"I’m cold."

Still no sound inside.

"Cold," Jiang Zhixun repeated.

Shen Qingqing: "If you’re cold, go back to your room, don’t disturb my sleep."

Jiang Zhixun laughed softly, "Alright, I’ll remember this."

Knowing Shen Qingqing wouldn’t open the door for him, Jiang Zhixun, shoulder marked with her bite, unhurriedly went to the bathroom.

The house key is in the downstairs drawer; a locked door won’t stop him.

With the sounds of splashing water, he recalled how Shen Qingqing had teased him.

Much later, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He’d make a note of this "debt" and would claim it with interest later on.

By then, her coyness wouldn’t work!

Shen Qingqing could vaguely hear the sound of running water.

Knowing Jiang Zhixun was showering, she took the chance to move his clothes left in the room to the adjacent room.

Then she quickly ran back into the room, locking the door with a sense of satisfaction.

Even though she was prepared, the presence of elders at home, and them not being remarried, made her feel embarrassed.

It’s not something that had to be done; it would be better to focus on accompanying the elders for now.

It was already very late, Shen Qingqing was still excited but forced herself to sleep.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she couldn’t sleep in; if she delayed any longer, she certainly wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning.

When Jiang Zhixun finished showering, he saw the extra clothes in the room and chuckled to himself.

She had cleared out all traces of him from the wedding room.

Tsk, they’re not teenagers in secret love; why was his wife acting like a thief?

In contrast, Jiang Zhixun realized how happy he used to be.

Marriage is great.

During vacations, they could spend every moment together.

Seeing how things were, he needed to be even better, dispelling Qingqing’s doubts, and making her desire to marry.

Marriage and dating can coexist.

This time, he truly wouldn’t mess it up.
