Chapter 1517 - My Little Hag-Faced Wife (1/2)
Si Yiyan always had a very elegant manner of eating, even when slurping up long, drippy noodles. It showed his well-bred upbringing. He quickly finished that bowl of noodles, down to the very last drop of soup.
Wen Xinya felt very happy on seeing that he had truly enjoyed the noodles.
Having eaten his fill, Si Yiyan leaned against the sofa and watched her quietly. His gaze was serious and focused. Under the warm, yellow lights, her fair and delicate face glowed. Even the exquisite flower hairpin in her hair was not half as lovely as her.
The beige, flowered apron looked comical on him but looked exceptionally charming on her.
His gaze tracked her like a shadow, making Wen Xinya feel rather uncomfortable and peevish. “What are you looking at?”
“I am looking at my little hag-faced wife!” The corners of Si Yiyan curled up in a smile as he blurted out exactly what he was thinking.
Si Yiyan suddenly recalled how when he first returned to Capital city six years ago, he had attended a dinner event and drank a lot of wine. High on all that alcohol, he had behaved audaciously, urging others to drink along with him. One of them had stood up with a smile and said, “You guys continue having fun. I have a curfew. My hag of a wife will make a big fuss if I return any later!”
Everyone had immediately teased him for being a cowardly husband who was afraid of his strict wife.
Si Yiyan did not think much about it at that time.
He had just smiled without feeling much of anything.
But recalling that incident now, he felt a warm sense of stability. There was a woman who would endure the daily toils of a home life just for you. So what if she ended up being a hag-faced wife? She would still be the world’s most beautiful hag-faced wife.
Wen Xinya was incensed and glared fiercely at Si Yiyan. “You are the one who is a hag. Your entirely family is hags! Have you ever seen a hag-faced wife as beautiful as I am?”
It was her impression that the term hag-faced wives described those women who, after marrying and bearing children, spent their entire life taking care of their husband and kids, centering their whole existence on household affairs, while completely neglecting to take care of themselves. As a result, they ended up being dour-looking, haggard middle-aged women, only to be discarded by their husbands eventually.
Si Yiyan said in a low voice, “Mmm, I have never seen a hag-faced wife as lovely as you. So you are the world’s most beautiful hag-faced wife!”
Wen Xinya’s annoyance was instantly dispelled. Nevertheless, she was still somewhat displeased. “You are not allowed to say I am a hag-faced wife!”
Si Yiyan coaxed. “Alright, I won’t!”
In his heart, he had already affirmed that she was the hag-faced wife whom he would spend the rest of his life with.
Wen Xinya was finally satisfied. However, on second thoughts, she felt that she was being too lenient forgiving him just like that. She pouted unhappily again. “They say that men will always be inflicted by a seven-year itch. We are approaching seven years soon. Tell me honestly, are you getting tired of me?”
The more she thought about it, the more morose she got. They had yet to be married and she had already become a hag-faced wife in his eyes. She was clearly still young and beautiful. In what way did she look like a hag-faced wife?
Si Yiyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her dejected expression. “What nonsense are you spouting? How could I ever get tired of you!”
He couldn’t love her more, how could he be tired of her? That silly little girl just loved to imagine all sorts of crazy things.
