Chapter 225: Chuchu, I’m Jealous
“Hubby, thank you so much.” Changqing pressed her lips on his cheek hard a few times merrily. “Then I’ll go plan right now. But when are we going?”
Song Chuyi’s thin lips curled up. “We’ll have to wait until your period is over.”
“Mm, that’s true. I won’t be able to swim during my period.” Changqing nodded.
“I wasn’t referring to that.” Song Chuyi glanced at her “down there.” “Since it’s our first time traveling, it has to be very intimate, right?”
“You’re always thinking about that kind of thing.” Changqing glared at him shyly and struggled out of his embrace, escaping to the study to plan the itinerary.
The Maldives was much larger than she imagined. Changqing was dazzled after searching for a while and simply gave Ruan Yang a call. “What places did you think were fun the previous time you went to the Maldives? Give me some recommendations; our Chuchu is finally bringing me to the Maldives.”
“Congratulations. You’ve finally found a man to travel with you.” Ruan Yang felt like laughing upon hearing that, and after laughing, she felt a fine sense of melancholy and pain. “Actually, we were mainly at Kani Island before. It was beautiful there, and there were also a lot of entertainment facilities on the island. However, because of our identity, we rarely went out to play in the day and spent most of the time at the hotel, only going out for walks at night. However, I’m still quite supportive of you going with Song Chuyi. It’s… very suitable for two people in love.”
Listening to her, Changqing could somehow hear a sense of melancholy. She took a deep breath and said, “Ruan Yang, it’s okay. In the future, you will definitely find someone who will go with you again and have a whale of a time.”
Ruan Yang laughed softly. “If I find another one, I wouldn’t go there.”
To her, that place was already filled with scars and pain.
“Er… I think I won’t ask you anymore. I’ll search on my own.” Changqing felt that probing too much would definitely bring back certain memories for Ruan Yang.
“Mm… you’ll definitely like it there. Bring a few more sets of pretty clothes. You love taking photographs so much; that place will definitely satisfy you. I can’t give you many suggestions for the other islands, but you definitely have to stay in the floating villas there and star gaze with the person you love at night. It’s very, very beautiful.”
After chatting with Ruan Yang, Changqing began searching again. Not long after, Song Chuyi came over. “It’s almost midnight—go to sleep. You can search again tomorrow.”
Changqing was very excited right now and still wanted to search for more. However, on account that Song Chuyi still had to go to work the next day and she was afraid she would disturb him, she still switched the computer off obediently.
When she was lying in bed, she tossed and turned for a while and couldn’t fall asleep because she was overly-excited.
“What are you doing?” Song Chuyi looked at the childish woman beside him helplessly.
“Chuchu, it’s my first time going overseas with my husband; I’m too excited.” Changqing blinked her eyes in the darkness as she watched him.
“Of course it’s your first time; you weren’t married before.” Song Chuyi laughed.
“No, I didn’t even have a boyfriend before. It’s… going out with my official other-half.” Changqing hooked onto his pinky under the covers. Her eyes emitted the shine of anticipation. “It’s never happened before…”
What is it like to go out with someone you like?
She couldn’t wait.
“Chuchu, have you… travelled with another woman before in the past?” Changqing suddenly said sourly, “You studied abroad in the States last time, right? You must’ve gone to the beach with your girlfriend often, right?”
Song Chuyi didn’t make a sound. Changqing’s eyes drooped slowly. She felt sour inside.
He moved closer to her and gently sealed her lips which were pouting in the darkness.
His tongue attacked inch by inch but Changqing still felt upset. After a while, she lifted her lids and said while aggrieved, “Chuchu, I’m jealous.”
Song Chuyi paused and watched her closely in the darkness. She didn’t know that his heart almost melted from that line.
This woman could even turn him on by saying that she’s jealous.
Besides, which woman would dare to admit that she was jealous?
“Don’t be jealous.” Song Chuyi’s lips were close to hers as he said in a hoarse voice, “In the future, I’ll only go to the beach with you.”
He definitely believed she did it on purpose last night.
Back at the hospital, Song Chuyi started applying for his leave from the Director.
Taking leave from the hospital must always be done in advance. That way, the higher-ups would have time to plan the working schedules. Director Yu approved his leave immediately and said with a chuckle, “You should keep your wife company and go out with her. You’ve worked for so many years and always given your annual leave to others. You can start your break next Friday.”
“Mm.”
After applying for his leave, he gave Changqing a call. On the phone, Changqing was so elated she could almost fly. Every day, she would search up the Maldives when she had nothing to do, looking for places to eat, play and stay.
When it was Thursday, Song Huaisheng called over. “I heard you’re going to take Changqing to the Maldives. Shouldn’t you come back for dinner tonight then? Do you not plan to come back to the Song Household again?”
“No, it’s just that I had two night shifts this week because of my leave and I’m a little tired, so I didn’t have time to come back,” Song Chuyi explained softly.
“Bring Changqing back tonight,” Song Huaisheng said lightly.
Song Chuyi sighed helplessly and could only give Changqing a call. Upon hearing about this, Changqing became listless. “Your Grandma and Dai Ai don’t really like me anymore. I’m a little afraid to go over.”
“It’s just a meal; we’ll come back after the meal. I’ll come pick you up after a while,” Song Chuyi comforted her.
After work, his colleagues all knew he had taken leave to play by the beach and everyone came over to congratulate him, expressing wishes that he would have an enjoyable time. He answered them with a few words and drove off to the broadcasting station to pick Changqing up.
Changqing was feeling half worried and half excited. She was worried because she had to go over to the Song Household and excited because they would be going on holiday tomorrow.
“Don’t think too much. If you feel uneasy, just speak less. After all, we really haven’t been back for a very long time.” Song Chuyi said with a smile, “If my family members really dislike you that much, they wouldn’t invite you back to have a meal.”
Changqing thought about it and found that it made sense. Hence, she was no longer that nervous. “Right, I went to the mall this afternoon and bought three swimsuits. Chuchu, do you want to take a look?”
Song Chuyi just opened his mouth and wanted to say no when Changqing already retrieved the bag from the backseat, showing them to him excitedly. They were all bikinis.
He felt dizzy from looking at them.
He recalled the time when he saw her wearing that bikini at the villa. The air-conditioned car suddenly felt warm.
Now that she bought three sets in one go, was she trying to torture him and force him on to the path of becoming a beast?
He glanced at the excited woman beside him. She seemed to have forgotten about the previous incident.
“Chuchu, which set do you think looks better?” Changqing asked with her smiling eyes.
“Must you ask me this question when I’m driving?” Song Chuyi was looking at the traffic ahead seriously. “Also, why are they all two-pieces? Weren’t there any one-piece swimming suits?”
“Oh, right, actually, these swimsuits are couple-suits.” Changqing pulled out a pair of men’s swim trunks of the same pattern as her bikini and said with a grin, “Then we can wear the couple suits out every day and everyone will know we’re a couple.”
Song Chuyi: “…”
He retracted his gaze from those dazzling trunks silently. The corners of his lips twitched. He had never worn such a flowery pair of pants. If this was Li Shaobin, he would probably like them a lot.
“Even if I didn’t wear this, others would know we’re a couple,” he said very helplessly.
“Don’t you find it very sweet? I don’t care; you must wear them,” Changqing said. “We’d better leave earlier after dinner; I still have to buy a selfie-stick later. I’ve searched for one for a long time in the afternoon and couldn’t find one. Also, I want to get some food and I’m also running out of sunblock.”
“Mm.”
He couldn’t understand the world of women who wanted selfie-sticks.
At the Song Household, just as the car drove into the car park, Changqing saw a 200 thousand Volkswagen parked in between some expensive cars worth a few million. “Chuchu, whose car is this?”
Song Chuyi took a look and frowned slightly before opening his mouth slowly. “Yunyang’s car.”
He opened the car door as he said that and Changqing got out immediately, tightly clinging onto his arm nervously.
He walked into the house with her. Aside from Song Chulang, everyone else was around. Dai Ai was sitting on the couch, wearing a long shirt and long pants for confinement, chatting with Yunyang. They were talking about something and she was all smiles.
When the two entered, Dai Ai glanced over slightly and retracted her gaze.
Grandma Song’s gaze was neither warm nor cold either. Only Song Huaisheng nodded. “Changqing, you’re here.”
“Mm, Dad.” Changqing heaved a sigh of relief and quickly greeted Song Huaisheng, Grandma Song and Dai Ai.
“Take a seat,” Grandma Song said lightly. “You’re already married to Chuyi, yet you only come back to eat when we call you back.”
“She might’ve been busy.” Dai Ai held Yunyang’s hand and said with a grin, “Unlike our Yunyang who comes back to keep you company once she has nothing to do at the hospital.”
Grandma Song nodded, revealing a complicated sense of gratification in her eyes. “Huaisheng, I think the quality of Yunyang’s car is too low. It’s time for a change.”
“It’s okay, Grandma. I think this car is pretty good,” Song Yunyang quickly said softly. “Besides, I’m not even sure if I will be continuing my career here in Northern City in the future.”
Upon hearing that, Song Chuyi looked at her with his deep gaze. Song Huaisheng lit a cigarette and Dai Ai asked with concern, “Don’t tell me it’s because you aren’t happy at the hospital? Yunyang, you have to tell us if you’ve suffered any grievances. You’re not young anymore either. It’s time to look for a partner. Don’t keep running around outside.”
“We’ll talk about that later; I don’t have intentions to get married yet.” Song Yunyang turned her head around to look at the plumeria outside the window.
Changqing looked at her cheek and was in a daze. From the side, she felt that she looked a lot like Guan Ying.
Thinking about Guan Ying, she didn’t know how Guan Ying was doing lately.
“Changqing, why do you keep looking at Yunyang?” Dai Ai asked suddenly.
Changqing was overwhelmed by her initiating a conversation. “Er… it’s nothing. It’s just felt that Yunyang suddenly reminded me of a friend.”
Song Chuyi froze for a while. Song Yunyang stared blankly. Dai Ai pondered subtly and was about to open her mouth when Song Huaisheng suddenly said, “How is that matter with Yan Kehua going? Last I heard, his wife and son caused a scene at the hospital?”
