The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife
Chapter 696: But I really love you
Qin Muni bent her knees and then sat cross-legged beside Xu Yisen.
"How about we make braised fish later?"
"Hmm, sounds good."
Xu Yisen nodded, then reached out and held Qin Muni’s left hand, rubbing the smooth back of her hand with his thumb, and then turned his head to look at her beside him.
The sunlight enveloped her whole body, as if coating her with a layer of golden halo, and when the breeze blew, it lifted her long hair that hung down, gently rippling like water.
The smile outlined at the corners of her mouth, under the radiance, further highlighted her as a budding lotus, exuding a unique ethereal charm.
Unable to resist, Xu Yisen leaned forward and gave Qin Muni a gentle kiss on her cheek, then whispered playfully in her ear, "Love you, Queen Qin."
Qin Muni’s cheeks instantly turned a faint pink, her skin as if peach blossoms just beginning to bloom, emanating an enticing freshness.
The happiness spread across her picture-perfect eyebrows, yet she still gave Xu Yisen a pretend look of disdain and teased, "So cheesy."
"But I really do love you."
Before Xu Yisen finished speaking, he was interrupted by the unsentimental Wu Yuchen.
Even though he tried to keep his voice low, the room was so quiet that his words blew into everyone’s ears with the breeze.
"Should I book a room for you two?"
Xu Yisen turned back to look at the somewhat mischievous smile on Wu Yuchen, and for her teasing, he calmly said, "No need, I wouldn’t feel right leaving you guys to go have fun."
Wu Yuchen couldn’t help but laugh and waved her hand, "You two carry on being lovey-dovey."
Xu Yisen turned back to Qin Muni, who was holding Xu Yisen’s phone and browsing Weibo. She found the post Xu Yisen had just shared and reminded, "Next time, remember to post a nicer photo, this one is too silly."
"Then let’s take another one now."
Xu Yisen took the phone from Qin Muni’s hand, opened the camera, and held it up.
The two of them flashed brilliant smiles at the lens, and Xu Yisen quickly pressed the shutter, then put the phone down.
In the photo, both wearing sunglasses, their faces beamed with the brightest smiles, and even through the screen, you could feel the happiness emanating from them.
"Dear, this one is beautiful."
"Really envy Mr. Xu for finding such a beautiful wife."
"Being so thick-skinned might get you in trouble."
"Oh."
Xu Yisen reached out and affectionately patted the pretend-annoyed Qin Muni, speaking softly, "Sorry, I shouldn’t have told the truth."
Qin Muni gently pinched his waist, threatening, "Are you planning to kneel on the remote tonight?"
"I don’t want to."
"Then I’ll give you another chance."
"Okay, I also think my wife is very beautiful. The description from ’The Book of Songs’—’Her hands are like soft reeds, her skin like congealed fat, her neck like the tree worm, her teeth like melon seeds, her head like a widower, and her eyebrows as gentle as willows’—perfectly describes my wife."
His exaggerated tone truly amused Qin Muni, as light, joyful laughter bubbled in her throat.
"So improper."
She softly joked about Xu Yisen, then stretched her legs out, slowly lying back, "You go fish your fish, I’ll rest for a bit."
"Hmm."
After Qin Muni lay down, Xu Yisen uploaded the photo they just took to Weibo, captioning it... Mrs. Xu seemed displeased with the last group photo, so we took another one.
