Chapter 93: A Short Separation is Better Than a New Marriage

"Brother Han!" Having not seen him for nearly a month, seeing him again now, Bai Shuruo felt both excited and nervous, her heart beating rapidly.

Han Yangting beckoned, signaling for her to come over.

Bai Shuruo then obediently went over.

On the other side, Ling Feng whispered to Bai Shunan, "It seems that in this marriage, Yangting is still the one in the dominant position."

Bai Shunan said, "My sister is a blockhead in this regard; it has to be him who leads."

"They say a short separation is better than a new marriage; do you think they'll make it happen tonight?"

Bai Shunan gnawed on a grilled wing: "That's hard to say."

Bai Shuruo walked to Han Yangting and sat down, saying a bit reservedly, "Brother Han, when did you return to the country?"

"This morning." As Han Yangting spoke, he pushed a box of porridge in front of her.

It was a box of seafood porridge, which Bai Shuruo quite liked, only she didn't have the habit of eating late-night snacks.

"Brother Han, I'm not hungry."

Han Yangting said, "Eat a little at least. Look at you, you've lost so much weight; you must not have been eating properly during this time."

"..." Bai Shuruo had no choice but to pick it up and eat.

It was strange to say; she hadn't wanted to eat at first, but after two bites, her appetite opened up, and she actually felt that the more she ate, the hungrier she became, and the more delicious it tasted.

She finished the bowl of porridge quickly, and after finishing, she asked him, "Brother Han, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten," Han Yangting said. "Do you want to eat anything else? If you're full, let's go home."

"I'm already very full," Bai Shuruo said.

Han Yangting picked up his coat from behind the sofa, waved to Ling Feng and the others, and then walked out of the company one after the other with Bai Shuruo.

It had been a long time since she had sat in a car with Han Yangting, and Bai Shuruo only felt that the atmosphere in the narrow car cabin was extremely tense.

He drove with focus and didn't say anything along the way.

Bai Shuruo guessed that he might be tired.

However, as his wife, she felt she should ask something, so when the car was halfway there, she asked, "Brother Han, after you returned from M Country, did you go back to Beishi?"

"I did."

"So you returned to the country this morning, went back to Beishi, and then flew straight to Fengcheng?" Bai Shuruo asked.

Han Yangting nodded: "Yes."

"That's too much rushing about; why didn't you stay in Beishi for a couple more nights?" Bai Shuruo asked.

He glanced at her without answering, still driving.

Bai Shuruo began to let her imagination run wild again. Could it be that he wasn't happy staying in Beishi? That couldn't be; the atmosphere in his home seemed quite good, and both his grandfather and mother doted on him.

Was it that he had an urgent matter here in Fengcheng? But according to her observations, there was Ali here in Fengcheng. That Ali looked a bit rough, but his work ability was extremely strong; not only did he have connections in both the underworld and legitimate circles, but he was also very well-versed in the circle of wealthy women.

If none of the above were true, then was it... for her?

She was too embarrassed to ask; if it wasn't for her, wouldn't she be being overly sentimental?

Arriving at the underground garage, the two got out of the car and took the elevator together.

He was still dragging a small suitcase, his coat draped over his wrist, looking a bit cold and stern.

She didn't speak again, and the two returned home in silence.

When entering the door, she was still thinking: he looked so unenthusiastic along the way, clearly he didn't rush back because of her; it must have been because of something else.

She felt a trace of disappointment.

Forget it, since his enthusiasm was low and he didn't say much after returning, she would just pretend he didn't exist; it was just one more person in the house, after all.

Bai Shuruo entered the door, changed her shoes, and was about to return to her room.

However, her wrist was grabbed, and she was caught off guard as she crashed into a solid embrace.

She looked up and met his burning gaze.

Immediately after, his kisses fell like a tidal wave—on her face, her forehead, her lips, the tip of her nose...

His passion surrounded her like a flame.

Bai Shuruo was kissed senseless at first, thinking to herself, could it be that he had been suppressing his emotions the whole time, and only now, at this moment, had they erupted?

After kissing for a long while, he finally let her go, and even as he released her, he still sucked on her lips.

Bai Shuruo was already completely bewildered and couldn't find her bearings at all; she looked up at him.

"I rushed back because of you, you little fool!" he said in a low voice, holding her close.

Bai Shuruo's heart rate accelerated.

Why did he have to say that?

"In the days I was away, did you miss me?" he asked again.

She shook her head, then realized it was wrong and immediately nodded, "I did."

In reality, she hadn't missed him that much.

She felt that she lived more easily on her own.

As soon as Han Yangting saw her expression, he knew she was lying, but he didn't intend to let her go. Instead, he kneaded her cheeks and said, "I can feel that you missed me very much, which is why I rushed back without stopping."

Bai Shuruo: "..."

He continued to kiss her again, this time more fiercely than the last, and his hands were also moving restlessly over her body.

She tried to push him away, but his strength was too great; her small arms not only failed to push him away, but because of these actions, she appeared to be playing hard to get.

After kissing for a while, he suddenly lifted her up, carried her to the sofa, and pressed down on top of her.
