Chapter 259: Chapter 259 A Short Parting is Better Than a New Marriage

The wedding wasn’t extravagant; only two tables were booked.

To ensure the relatives and friends ate well, Shen Qingqing and Madam Jiang ordered over a dozen dishes.

The tedious procedures were skipped, but Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun still drank the nuptial wine amidst the crowd’s teasing.

They also vowed to be loyal to each other for a lifetime, no matter the storms, they would walk together hand in hand.

Shen Qingqing, with her gentle temperament, looked like a pure and beautiful lily; her everyday style leaned towards intellectual elegance.

But on this day, she changed her usual style and wore a joyous red dress.

The dress was form-fitting, highlighting her slim waist and long legs, her figure so impressive that it was enough for her to be a dancer.

Her makeup was exquisite, her skin fair and beautiful, without a flaw.

The crowd only then realized that Shen Qingqing could also be a stunning beauty.

No matter the style, she could easily carry it off.

Someone teased, "Zhixun has a great eye, choosing the most beautiful bride."

Madam Jiang: "Thank goodness I didn’t give birth to a crooked gourd, or he wouldn’t match Qingqing!"

"Yes, yes, the handsome man and beautiful woman are perfectly matched!"

On such a great day, Shen Qingqing wasn’t affected by the teasing mood of the relatives.

With Jiang Zhixun, they toasted with a continuous smile on their faces.

Jiang Zhixun was the same.

Even with his colder temperament, marrying the one he loved made it impossible to control his excitement and joy.

In the midst of endless blessings for a harmonious union and early births, he accidentally drank a few more glasses.

Luckily, there weren’t many guests; otherwise, after a few rounds, he would surely be drunk.

The hustle and bustle settled down, the dust settled.

In every sense, Jiang Zhixun and Shen Qingqing became a real couple.

Shi Yu and the others didn’t stay long in Beijing; they were to return after two days.

This time, they were lucky not to run into the Shi Family.

But with previous experience, even if they did run into Shi Yu, the Shi Family probably wouldn’t dare to provoke her again.

On the day of their departure, Shen Qingqing went to the train station to see them off.

She gave Shi Yu and Little Sister Chen some Beijing pastries, also asking them to take some to the Lin Family and Cheng Family, and Sister-in-law Wang’s family.

Shi Yu: "Taking so much, I’m so embarrassed."

Shen Qingqing: "Why be so polite? I wouldn’t dare to visit you in the Northwest in the future."

Shi Yu couldn’t help but laugh, "You’ve mentioned it many times but never actually followed through; I don’t believe you this time."

With Shen Qingqing being busy with work, now married too, spontaneous trips were even more unlikely.

Shi Yu understood her.

Shen Qingqing said, "Life is long; who knows, I might surprise you one day."

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for you."

The departure time was approaching; without further ado, Shi Yu and Little Sister Chen boarded the train with the child.

It wasn’t until the train left that Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun departed from the station.

Passing by the post office, Jiang Zhixun called Chen Shaojie to inform him of Shi Yu and the others’ arrival time.

Shen Qingqing praised, "You’re quite considerate, very thoughtful indeed."

Neither she nor Shi Yu thought of it.

Jiang Zhixun feigned a smile, "Isn’t that basic? Worth your praise?"

Shen Qingqing earnestly nodded.

"Alright, I’ll take it back then."

Jiang Zhixun’s lips stiffened, squeezing out words through his teeth, "How can something said be taken back?"

Shen Qingqing: "Then just don’t admit it, after all, no third person heard."

"You’re being unreasonable."

"Didn’t I learn from you?"

When it came to being unreasonable, she was no match for Jiang Zhixun.

Jiang Zhixun laughed angrily, "Let’s go home!"

Seeing him like this, Shen Qingqing knew this man wasn’t well-intentioned.

"Not going."

"Then to a restaurant?"

Shen Qingqing glared at him, "Can you stop thinking about that all the time?"

"Can’t."

This man could never stay still for a day; Shen Qingqing truly admired his energy.

"Aren’t you afraid of kidney deficiency?"

"Wouldn’t you know if I was?"

For some reason, Shen Qingqing felt her legs go weak and softened her tone, "I want to watch a movie, will you accompany me, alright?"

If the wife asks, how could Jiang Zhixun refuse?

She spoke so softly, looking at him with innocent eyes, so good at stirring one’s heart.

Not to mention watching a movie, even if she wanted stars, the moon, he would try to fetch them.

Holding Shen Qingqing’s hand, intertwining their fingers.

"Okay, let’s go watch a movie."

Holidays always go by quickly; in the blink of an eye, Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun’s honeymoon was nearing its end.

At night, Jiang Zhixun lay on the bed sighing, "It feels like the holiday just started, how is it ending?"

Shen Qingqing applied moisturizing cream and climbed over Jiang Zhixun.

Lying in her spot, she then said, "Mr. Jiang, it’s not right to slack off."

If the holiday didn’t end, her waist might not be able to hold out...

Jiang Zhixun lay on his side, propping his head with his hand, his deep gaze fixed on Shen Qingqing’s face.

"What are you looking at?" She felt uneasy under his gaze.

"You’re happy?"

Shen Qingqing didn’t dare to nod, evading the issue, "How much wedding candy do we have left? Should I take some to the office, or buy some pastries, it feels a bit more decent?"

"Don’t change the subject."

The man’s gaze became sharp, and Shen Qingqing felt like a beast was eyeing her.

If she said the wrong thing, she might face "punishment."

With a mournful face, "I’m not happy."

"Really?"

Shen Qingqing nodded.

Amusement flashed in Jiang Zhixun’s eyes, but he didn’t show it on his face, "Then why were you smiling just now?"

"You saw wrong."

"Is that so?"

"Yes." Shen Qingqing answered firmly.

After saying that, the man leaned over.

Shen Qingqing propped his shoulder, "What are you doing?"

"Getting closer, so I don’t see wrong again."

Shen Qingqing had no confidence in him; once they were in bed, it was almost impossible to just sleep under the covers.

The dim lights flickered.

The air became sticky, blazing hot.

Shen Qingqing said earnestly, "I didn’t misjudge you after all!"

The man chuckled under his breath.

Reasoning, "We are newlyweds."

Being newlywed, indulging a bit was only natural and human.

Jiang Zhixun thought this way.

Yet Shen Qingqing had a premonition, after the honeymoon, he might become even more clingy.

After all, there’s a saying, absence makes the heart grow fonder...

Imagining those "ardent and fiery" days, Shen Qingqing couldn’t quite discern if she was lucky or not.

After all, while enjoying it, she was genuinely exhausted!

"Wife, focus."

Turning her face towards him, he kissed her red lips.

Uncontrollably.

With the holiday ending, just the thought of not seeing Shen Qingqing for a long time made Jiang Zhixun reluctant.

He wished he could pocket her and take her along, to be together all the time.

The whole night, Shen Qingqing didn’t sleep soundly.

She didn’t know how many times she was jolted awake.

In a daze, she heard Jiang Zhixun speaking to her.

As if he was reminding something.

Continuously kissing her.

In the end, she didn’t quite hear what he said.

When she woke up again, there was no sign of Jiang Zhixun beside her.

She felt the other side of the bed.

Empty, cold.

He had been up for a while, gone back to his unit.

Used to waking up and seeing Jiang Zhixun.

Entangled until the horizon turned white, welcoming the dawn.

Now with Jiang Zhixun not there, Shen Qingqing touched her lips, suddenly feeling a huge sense of loss.

A hug, a kiss.

Or even deeper exchanges.

Turns out, they truly have the power to soothe the heart.

Holding onto Jiang Zhixun’s pillow, it still carried the man’s clear scent.

Realizing what she was doing, Shen Qingqing quickly placed the pillow back in its place.

She patted her face, trying to stay calm.

She had been led astray by Jiang Zhixun.

Before, she never had those blush-inducing thoughts!
