In the lounge area of the airport, there was a man with disheveled hair lying by himself on the settee, looking to be deeply asleep. His legs were crossed at the ankles, his hands clasped on the top of his stomach.

If it wasn't for the business suit that he was wearing, one would have mistaken him for a corpse.

All of the arriving and departing passengers that walked by gave him curious looks, wondering who the man could be waiting for. That person must be so inconsiderate for the man to have fallen asleep while waiting.

In truth, he had just arrived there five minutes ago.

Hui Yin looked at this scene, and her hand unknowingly clenched on the handle of her luggage bag. Without expression, she strode towards the man and whacked him upside the head.

"Jiang Xu, you bastard, wake up!"

When he opened his eyes and saw the girl glaring at him with eyes looking like it could shoot fire, Jiang Xu slowly smiled.

"Wifey."

Behind Hui Yin, both Ye Qiang and Bao Bai had dumbstruck faces. Wifey? Did he just call her Wifey?

"Hui Yin..." Ye Qiang looked at the close familiarity between them and took a guess. "Is he your boyfriend?"

Hui Yin's head turned around so fast that she nearly cricked her neck.

"No!"

The smile that was beginning to take over Jiang Xu's face and curved his eyes like crescent moons dissolved and turned into a pout.

Ye Qiang was surprised. "He's not? Then is he your...husband?"

One could not blame Ye Qiang for thinking this. After all, the endearment 'wifey' was a term only used between lovers. So if he wasn't her boyfriend, then wouldn't it mean that he was her husband?

Now, not only had Jiang Xu's eyes turned into crescent moons, there were sparkling stars glittering inside them as well.

Hui Yin felt like she was getting a headache.

"No!"

Bao Bai was also confused. "Then..."

"He's just a friend who calls me by a weird nickname. How could he be my husband? I hate his hair!"

That seemingly random comment made the three of them look at Hui Yin weirdly.

But she couldn't really put what she felt into words. Ever since the two of them had first met, Hui Yin had a deep-seated animosity towards Jiang Xu's hair. Maybe it was a reincarnation of her nemesis in a past life?

Hui Yin lifted her hand and tried patting it down. But it didn't seem to want to obey her command and continued sticking up with great dignity. Her face soured.

"Wifey, I came to pick you up."

Jiang Xu had received Hui Yin's text of arriving at Beijing today so he came to drive her back to her apartment. The fact that he had done it under Wuji's nose made him feel a sense of accomplishment.

I didn't die today! Hooray!

Jiang Xu really didn't know what that little brat was so worried about. Lately he had been dropping hints to Jiang Xu that he was 'not doing enough' and the 'company needs to be number one'. The company was doing well so why did he suddenly became this competitive?

Ye Qiang and Bao Bai hitched a ride with them, and Jiang Xu decided to drop them off first. Left alone inside the car as they drove back to Hui Yin's apartment, Jiang Xu sneaked a glance at Hui Yin and swallowed nervously.

"Wifey...are you free tomorrow?"

"Hm?" Hui Yin was fiddling with the radio. When Liu Jun's song came on, she leaned back on her seat. "Yes, I'm free."

If Hui Yin hadn't met Yue Lao and learned of her 'cursed' fate, she would have started packing the things in her apartment as she was planning to move out. But now that everything was going to be reset anyway...

Jiang Xu's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.

"Do...do you want to come with me somewhere?" His voice cracked at the end, and Jiang Xu coughed loudly to cover up his embarrassment.

Jiang Xu knew that his usual selling point to the girls was his laziness and extreme indifference to their flirting. But now that he was asking his Wifey out for a date, he was so nervous that his palms started sweating, and the redness that creeped up from his neck to his ears made him feel like a shy maiden encountering a gentleman for the first time.

Hui Yin was oblivious to all of this.

"Sure," she answered easily without thinking too much.

"R—Really?" Jiang Xu was so full of excitement that his head swung sideways to look at her. Hui Yin casually batted his cheek with her left hand and forced him to look back at the road.

"Are you deaf? I said yes." Then a warm glow flashed through Hui Yin's eyes, and she leaned forward, her voice gushing, "Bring the twins too!"

"..."

Jiang Xu was speechless.

Wifey...why...

If those two were there, how could it become a date? He would only be reduced to become a mere third wheel!

For the first time in his life, Jiang Xu wished he was an only child.
