The Return of The Wife Chapter 99 Part 1

Chapter 99: The Male Protagonist Actually Took the Initiative to Kiss Me!?

Everyone was startled by Li Zhao.

"Morning." Zhuang Jinling nodded blankly at Li Zhao, then turned to look at Beiyin Cangmo. Seeing Zhu Qiang's hand on Beiyin Cangmo's body, he raised his eyebrows slightly, guessing that this skinny man must be the female protagonist in disguise.

Beiyin Cangmo noticed his gaze and looked down to see Zhu Qiang's hand on him, immediately taking a step back.

Zhu Qiang's eyes darkened.

Seeing Zhu Qiang's disappointed expression, Zhuang Jinling thought he had interrupted them. He said "morning" to Beiyin Cangmo and quickly walked inside.

Beiyin Cangmo frowned and called out to stop him: "Zhuang Jinling."

Zhuang Jinling turned back: "What is it?"

Beiyin Cangmo felt that Zhuang Jinling seemed somewhat distant today. Could it be because he saw Zhu Qiang adjusting his clothes and got jealous, hence ignoring him?

Given Zhuang Jinling's past jealousy, this was highly possible. It seemed he needed to maintain distance from others in the future.

"Three nights from now, the Governor is hosting a small banquet at his residence. He invited us, along with your parents, to attend."

Zhuang Jinling recalled from the book that the Vice Senior Colonel planned to rebel during this event, and the Governor's banquet was precisely to lure him out. He nodded: "Alright, my parents and I will attend together."

Seeing Zhuang Jinling about to leave again, Beiyin Cangmo called out once more: "Zhuang Jinling."

Zhuang Jinling was puzzled: "Is there something else?"

Beiyin Cangmo's lips twitched: "Come here."

Zhuang Jinling walked over to him.

Beiyin Cangmo signaled with his eyes for the people around them to step away, then asked: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"No?" Zhuang Jinling looked utterly confused. Since when did he have something to say to Beiyin Cangmo?

Beiyin Cangmo's face darkened: "We haven't seen each other for so many days, and you have nothing to say?"

"Didn't we see each other last night?"

Beiyin Cangmo thought of how Zhuang Jinling had kissed him multiple times last night, his expression softening slightly: "Then don't you have anything you want to do to me?"

Zhuang Jinling was completely baffled: "No?"

Beiyin Cangmo angrily pinched his cheeks: "You're really stupid, no wonder you couldn't chase any girls before."

Zhuang Jinling was speechless: "How am I stupid? And why bring up the past?"

He truly couldn't understand what the male protagonist was up to.

Seeing his clueless expression, Beiyin Cangmo sighed, pulled him into his arms, and lightly kissed his eyelashes: "Do you understand now?"

He had made it so obvious, given this guy's intelligence, he should understand his feelings now, right?

Moreover, he had come to realize that since he had fallen in love, he should take the initiative. If he didn't show any signs and made Zhuang Jinling think he didn't like him, leading to divorce or him falling for someone else, he wouldn't know where to cry.

Zhuang Jinling's eyes widened in shock, the male protagonist actually took the initiative to kiss me!?

But what did he mean by "understand"? Understand what?

Beiyin Cangmo, seeing him frozen, assumed he was overjoyed and smiled, ruffling his hair: "Are you that happy?"

Zhuang Jinling: "..."

This was shock, not happiness.

Beiyin Cangmo said: "I'm going to work. Wait for me to come back tonight."

Zhuang Jinling nodded blankly: "Take care, be careful on the road, and watch out for the Vice Senior Colonel."

Beiyin Cangmo smiled in satisfaction: "Finally acting properly."

Zhuang Jinling was still stunned by Beiyin Cangmo's kiss.

Li Zhao and Yang Jing, seeing Beiyin Cangmo get into the car, quickly followed. Their shock was no less than Zhuang Jinling's.

Ever since they learned that Beiyin Cangmo and Zhuang Jinling were married, they had been confused about their relationship. If they were only married in name without any real marital bond, why did their interactions feel so intimate? Beiyin Cangmo cared deeply for Zhuang Jinling, and they had even seen Zhuang Jinling kiss Beiyin Cangmo voluntarily. They slept in the same room every night, and now Beiyin Cangmo had kissed Zhuang Jinling, wasn't this just like a real married couple? Had it turned real?

Zhuang Jinling watched Beiyin Cangmo leave, then turned around and saw Zhu Qiang's dejected expression as he walked away. Suddenly, he understood.

The male protagonist must be trying to make the female protagonist jealous so she could recognize her own feelings.

Zhuang Jinling hesitated over whether to remind the female protagonist, but deep down, he felt resistant to the idea. In the end, he decided against it.

That night, Beiyin Cangmo returned to his room but didn't see Zhuang Jinling. He was puzzled, having specifically asked Zhuang Jinling to wait for him, and wondered if the unexpected guest on the third floor was the reason.

Thinking of Zhu Qiang's true gender, it really was inconvenient.

After showering and changing into pajamas, Beiyin Cangmo went to Zhuang Jinling's window—this time, it wasn’t closed.

The reason Zhuang Jinling left it open was because the weather was getting hotter, and sleeping with the window open was cooler.

Beiyin Cangmo, however, thought Zhuang Jinling had left it open for him. Smiling, he climbed in and gently embraced Zhuang Jinling.

Half-asleep, Zhuang Jinling opened his eyes and, seeing Beiyin Cangmo, thought he was still in Beiyin Cangmo's room. He mumbled, "You're back," and fell back asleep.
