Qian Xiaoke said, “Hubby, I really wish every day were Christmas.” Jiang Tongyan was drenched in sweat and held Qian Xiaoke, who was just as soaked, in his arms. When Jiang Tongyan heard that, his whole body jolted, and he felt an ache in his kidneys. “Well, uh,” Jiang Tongyan felt his sweat pouring down like a waterfall as he earnestly tried to reason with him. “It’s once a year, that’s why it’s precious. If every day were Christmas, wouldn’t it lose its meaning? Don’t you think so?” Qian Xiaoke listened and thought it over seriously, then nodded. “That does seem to make sense.” Jiang Tongyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he might still have lingering aftereffects. His impotence had been cured, but his kidneys were weak. For a man, being ‘not able to do it’ was a minefield that absolutely could not be stepped on. Ever since Jiang Tongyan recovered, every time he would leave Qian Xiaoke like this or that, gasping delicately and crying softly. Almost every time, it ended with Qian Xiaoke holding back tears as he begged his husband to hurry up and finish. But tonight, Qian Xiaoke’s interest had been far too high, and Jiang Tongyan had almost failed to keep him under control. It had been way too dangerous. Jiang Tongyan had always believed that letting Qian Xiaoke climax first, and only doing it himself at least twenty minutes later, was the normal process. A domineering CEO had to have this kind of ability. In the past, his actual performance had been pretty good, but today, he had actually climaxed together with Qian Xiaoke. Qian Xiaoke had gone crazy today. He wore a tight-fitting reindeer outfit that was irresistibly tempting, and throughout the entire process, he kept his middle finger wearing a diamond ring raised. Qian Xiaoke was in great shape, and Jiang Tongyan honestly was not bad either, but once the two were compared, the gap became obvious. Just tonight alone, over the course of an hour and a half, Qian Xiaoke had actively asked to change positions at least five times, and each time he said to Jiang Tongyan, “Husband, hang in there a bit more~! I’m just so happy today.” To be honest, Jiang Tongyan even felt that his skin had been rubbed raw. In short, he finally managed to hold on until the two of them reached life’s great harmony together. Qian Xiaoke’s small face was flushed pink as he contentedly snuggled up against Jiang Tongyan and lay down. Jiang Tongyan, meanwhile, had trembling fingers. Of course, it was not only his fingers that were shaking. How useless. This was far too embarrassing. Luckily, today he had used the ‘long-lasting’ type that Qian Xiaoke had bought before. Jiang Tongyan lay there, frowning deeply, and planned to search online for ways to extend the duration of this kind of activity once Qian Xiaoke fell asleep. It was very uncomfortable. His heart felt sour. Completely unaware of Jiang Tongyan’s worries, Qian Xiaoke yawned contentedly and snuggled closer into his arms. He then said, “Husband, look at me wearing this ring. Does it look good?” This question had been asked at least three times tonight during their ‘Santa Claus riding a reindeer’ game. “It looks good,” Jiang Tongyan said, grabbing his hand and kissing it. “Come on, let’s go take a shower. After that, we should sleep early.” This place was not like America. No matter how late you messed around on Christmas night, you still had to go to work the next day obediently. Qian Xiaoke was very well behaved. He dragged his completely exhausted husband off to take a shower and even energetically sat in the tub to scrub his back. Qian Xiaoke said, “I also know how to do cupping. I’ll let you experience it some other day.” Jiang Tongyan did not know what cupping was, but since his wife had said it, he obviously had to agree. So a few days later, one night, Qian Xiaoke, who had finally gritted his teeth and bought a full set of cupping tools, pulled Jiang Tongyan over, had him lie prone, thoughtfully planted a kiss on his back, and then started applying the cups. The whole process was extremely stimulating, and Jiang Tongyan’s terrified screams echoed throughout the house. As for cupping, Qian Xiaoke said, “Cupping is really comfortable, but a friendly reminder: if you haven’t learned or trained, please don’t do it casually by yourself. It can be dangerous.” Jiang Tongyan thought to himself, even if he didn’t remind people, no one would be doing this anyway. However, very soon, after Qian Xiaoke finished cupping him, Jiang Tongyan was completely won over. “Cupping is one of the greatest creations of our Chinese nation over five thousand years,” Qian Xiaoke started spouting nonsense again. “Look at your back. It’s no idea how much sexier than before.” Jiang Tongyan went to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and nearly fainted. Qian Xiaoke said proudly, “This is art!” Jiang Tongyan did not know whether to laugh or cry at what he said, but could only nod along and respond, “Yes, yes, art.” He thought to himself that when he went to see his parents on New Year’s Day, he absolutely could not let them see his back like this. Otherwise, they would probably think Qian Xiaoke had been abusing him at home. Actually, his parents were far more knowledgeable about the world than he was. He was the only one who did not know what cupping was. In the days after Christmas, aside from the time spent doing cupping, the usually optimistic Qian Xiaoke remained in a state of anxiety. There were only two reasons. First, losing weight was really hard. Second, New Year’s Day was coming, and he was going to meet Jiang Tongyan’s parents. Dating Jiang Tongyan did not scare Qian Xiaoke, but meeting the parents absolutely did. Qian Xiaoke knew very well what he was worth. The gap in family background and social status between him and Jiang Tongyan was so obvious that he was afraid the elders would think they were not well-matched. Anxious, anxious. Every day at the company, Qian Xiaoke looked like a wandering ghost, no longer showing any dedication to his job. Jiang Tongyan noticed something was off. He thought Qian Xiaoke might be physically unwell and was terribly worried. That night, when they got home, he pulled him over and said with great earnestness, “Wife, even though people say husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly off separately—we are not like that. Heaven and earth can witness my sincerity toward you. We’ll share joy and hardship and get through difficulties together.” Qian Xiaoke was completely confused by this. He tilted his head and asked doubtfully, “Why are you suddenly saying this? Did you lose money doing business? Do you want me to live a hard life with you?” “Huh?” “It’s fine.” Qian Xiaoke had lived through hard times before. Every day now was the sweetness that came after years of bitterness, and he was least afraid of suffering. But then he thought about it again. Jiang Tongyan definitely would not be able to handle it. His Jiang Tongyan had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, wrapped in gold and silver since childhood, living the life of a young master. If he suddenly fell from heaven to the ground, he would need a lot of comforting, soothing, and careful care. Qian Xiaoke reached out and patted Jiang Tongyan’s hair. “It’s okay, don’t worry. I will absolutely never leave you.” “You’ll never leave me?” “Yeah,” Qian Xiaoke said. “I may be poor, but my character is still decent.” Jiang Tongyan was baffled. Wasn’t it supposed to be him who would never leave Qian Xiaoke? Or had Qian Xiaoke learned something incredible behind his back? Jiang Tongyan grabbed Qian Xiaoke’s hand. “Wait. Explain this clearly to me. What do you mean by never leaving me?” “Sigh, you’re my husband,” Qian Xiaoke said. “As the saying goes, in the business world, wins and losses are common for domineering CEOs. Even though we took a loss this time, we can make a comeback. I’ll definitely stay with you.” Jiang Tongyan frowned. “Took a loss? Who took a loss? Whose loss was it? Did Cheng Sen do something behind my back and lose the company?” “Huh? I don’t know.” “Then what are you talking about?” “Aren’t you asking me to face hardship together with you because you lost money in business?” “…Your thinking is really broad.” Jiang Tongyan was about to explode with anger. Was this kid cursing him? What good would it do him to curse him into poverty? “Wake up.” Jiang Tongyan raised his hand and flicked him on the forehead. “I meant that I want to face hardship together with you.” Jiang Tongyan sighed. “You’ve been frowning lately. Did you run into some kind of trouble?” As soon as he finished speaking, inspiration suddenly struck him. His hand moved to Qian Xiaoke’s stomach. “Wife, did you get pregnant?” Qian Xiaoke looked at Jiang Tongyan as if he were watching an idiot perform. Jiang Tongyan gently stroked Qian Xiaoke’s rounded belly. Yes, for Qian Xiaoke, no matter how troubled he felt, meals still had to be filling and good. As for losing weight, he had to eat his fill to have the strength to lose weight. From this, it was clear that his determination to lose weight was not sincere at all, and perhaps he really should feel anxious. “Getting pregnant is a good thing,” Jiang Tongyan said. “It’s the crystallisation of our love. Don’t worry. Once the child is born, I’ll give him the best life.” Qian Xiaoke blinked, then pressed his lips together. “What are you thinking about?” Of course, Jiang Tongyan knew Qian Xiaoke could not possibly be pregnant. They were not in an mpreg novel, and no matter how capable Qian Xiaoke was, he still could not give birth. That said, every time they did that kind of thing, Qian Xiaoke would cling to him and shout loudly about wanting to bear his child. Used to set the mood and add interest, it was actually quite effective. “Then what is wrong with you?” Jiang Tongyan said. “It’s been days. You’ve been so worried. If you’re not pregnant, could it be that Cheng Sen docked your pay without permission? Wait here. Your husband will go get justice for you.” Only then did Qian Xiaoke finally understand why Jiang Tongyan had dragged him over and started acting crazy. It was because his behaviour these past few days had been too abnormal, and the other man was worried about him. Qian Xiaoke smiled. He leaned in, wrapped both arms around Jiang Tongyan’s neck, nestled into his chest, and acted spoiled. “You were worried about me?” “Who else would I worry about?” Jiang Tongyan said. “It wouldn’t be appropriate to worry about anyone else.” Qian Xiaoke grinned, biting his lip. “Why are you so good?” “Just average,” Jiang Tongyan said. As soon as Qian Xiaoke praised him, his tail practically shot up to the sky. “Basically, if I call myself second in this world, no one would dare call themselves first.” Qian Xiaoke was amused by his thick skin and laughed out loud. “So,” Jiang Tongyan said, “tell me. What’s really going on?” Just then, Jiang Tongyan’s phone rang. He picked it up, glanced at it, and suddenly smiled. “Well, this is something new.” Qian Xiaoke watched him answer the call and heard Jiang Tongyan say, “Mom, why are you calling at this hour?” “Huh? You’re already outside the complex? You don’t have an access card and got stopped by security? I’m not at my own place. I’m next door. Yes, yes, at Xiaoke’s place.” As he spoke, Jiang Tongyan smiled at Qian Xiaoke and pulled him up from the sofa. “Alright, wait there. Xiaoke and I will come down to get you.” After hanging up, Jiang Tongyan said, “My parents came early. Surprised? Shocked?” Qian Xiaoke nearly fainted when he heard that. He grabbed the corner of Jiang Tongyan’s clothes and said, “This is exactly why I’ve been worried these past few days…” It was over. The in-laws had arrived, and he was still fat. Qian Xiaoke wailed inwardly. Thinking of the scene in domineering CEO novels where someone says, “Here’s five million, leave my son,” he suddenly felt that he might be about to take the money and walk away.
