As time passed, everyone gradually settled into their work routines here.

During this period, Jin Nian had been occupied with work. When she finally found some relaxation, she realized that Lu An had been on a business trip for nearly a week.

Given the time difference between their locations, Lu An’s daytime corresponded to Jin Nian’s nighttime.

Their schedules never quite aligned, and Jin Nian didn’t want to disturb Lu An excessively.

Lu An would send her a video call every night at nine o’clock to see what she was doing and chat with her.

By the time Jin Nian got home each day, it was already around seven o’clock. At eight o’clock, she would just finish her dinner, making it the perfect time to connect via video call and chat while watching TV.

Today, she got off work a bit late, so she took some ingredients from the fridge and cooked them to make herself a Korean bibimbap.

This made Lu An frown on the other end of the phone. “Are you fooling yourself like this when I’m not at home?” On the other end of the video call, Lu An was wearing a well-ironed suit. He had lost his usual arrogant appearance and looked much more mature.

“I think it’s delicious.” On the other end of the video, Jin Nian had her hair tied up into a bun. She was wearing loose home clothes and sitting cross-legged on the carpet beside the coffee table, using a spoon to feed herself.

Lu An watched her fill her cheeks with food and asked her if she had encountered anything unhappy at work today.

Jin Nian shook her head. Work was work, except for those who deliberately made things difficult for her like before. No matter what kind of trouble Jin Nian encountered, she would never feel annoyed. She just needed to solve it.

There were no worries, but there were many happy things. Jin Nian kept telling him how delicious the cafeteria in the new company was. No matter if it was the food or the snacks, none of them were too delicious.

“You only know food, pig.” Lu An’s eyes were filled with doting love.

“You’re the pig,” Jin Nian retorted.

“I’m not at home. Did you exercise yourself?”

“No…”

“Do you have to wait for me to chase you every day at home before you’re willing to exercise?”

“I’m too tired from work. How can 1 have the strength to exercise when I go home?” A few days ago, Jin Nian was still able to hold on, but after Lu An left, she was completely flat on her back.

“After I’m done with my work here, I still have to make a trip to the United States,” Lu An said to her. He had estimated that he would be able to return home in a week, but now it seemed that it would take at least ten days.

In the midst of time ticking away, Jin Nian was consumed by a feeling of inexplicable melancholy. “You’re always so busy…”

Lu An patiently explained, “This trip involves not only investing in a new animation but also backing a theme park. That’s why it’s taken a bit longer.”

“Alright then.”

“Do you miss me?”

“No.”

“Jin Nian, you know you can’t lie, right? Whenever you’re in a bad mood, you clam up and speak in fragments. It’s quite obvious.” Lu An laughed helplessly. “To put it nicely, I’ll hurry back.”

Jin Nian looked at Lu An in the video and didn’t want to say anything. However, when she noticed the tiredness in his eyes, she quickly said, “I do miss you.”

With that, she ended the video call in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know why, but she truly did miss Lu An. Yet, admitting it still made her feel bashful, even though they were already so close.

Upon hearing her words clearly, Lu An watched as the screen of his phone went dark. He chuckled, shaking his head. A beautiful day began with his wife’s sweet words.

Never one to hold back his emotions, Lu An typed out a sincere reply to Jin Nian, “I miss you even more.” He was on the verge of going crazy, yearning to catch the next flight back to China.

The next day was a weekend, which prompted Lu An to initiate a video call with Jin Nian a little after ten in the morning.

Jin Nian was applying a face mask when she noticed something off in Lu An’s appearance on the video. “Have you been drinking?”

Lu An was clad in a black shirt, the top button left undone. His collarbone was exposed, and his skin had a faint blush. He held up a finger to signify a small amount. “Just a bit.”

“You’re looking quite relaxed.”

“Don’t be mad, wife. I bumped into someone I know and had a drink with him. Just one glass.” Lu An wore a pleasing smile. “I’ll make sure to get checked when I’m back.”

Setting her phone on the coffee table, Jin Nian bent over to wipe off the mask with a face towel. With her collar slightly open, revealing a bit of her neckline, she noticed the intensity of Lu An’s gaze.

“They’re all exposed.” he playfully pointed out.

Jin Nian quickly got up and pulled up her collar.

“What’s there to be nervous about?” Lu An chuckled. “Which part of your body have 1 not seen and kissed before?”

“Lu An, you drank too much and you’re doing this to me, aren’t you?” Jin Nian was both embarrassed and angry.

“Only with you, my dear wife. I truly miss you.” Lu An had been overseas for the past few days, and he had forcefully compressed the matter that could have taken more than ten days to be settled into a week..
