"This is the oldest and biggest temple complex in Shanghai known for its long history of over 1700 years…" Jun Zixuan watched in amusement as the woman looked around Longhua temple like it was the seventh wonder of the world.
"Woah…That long…" Yu Mei the grand temple in amazement. To her pleasant surprise, when she woke up after taking an afternoon nap, Jun Zixuan was back in the suite doing some work.
Since she wanted to come out to explore this place, he offered her company which stunned her for a few good minutes. A workaholic like him wanted to come out to play with her?!
From the university days, she has known Jun Zixuan to be a busy person, he would always be engaged with one thing or another. And after becoming his wife, she got to know that he was a low-key business tycoon.
In one month, he has gone on two business trips, and from the day he moved back to Ren mansion, she barely saw him. He was either in his room or at his work.
An offer to explore Shanghai with him wasn't that bad after all so she accepted.
And here they were, currently looking around the Longhua temple that was not far away from the resort they were staying in.
"What's that? I want to go inside," Her eyes glittered as she looked at the tall building.
He followed her gaze, "That's the Longhua Pagoda. This seven-storied building used to be the tallest building until modern times. The sound of bells around this place comes from the corner of these octagonal eaves."
The building was all made of red brick and wood structure and it looked like a delicate Song-era pagoda you will find in history books or ancient dramas.
"Let's go inside…"
"We can't," He interrupted her.
She frowned, "Why?"
''It's an old building so it is not open for the visitors due to its age and fragility," His lips tugged up as she grumbled about it.
Just as they were standing there admiring the view of the lovely pagoda, a pair of mother and daughter passed by while stealing glances at them.
Although their voice was low, Yu Mei could hear their discussion in the silence of the quiet evening since there were not many visitors in the temple at this time for some reason.
"Mommy~ Look there, the older brother is so handsome," The girl's loud voice caught her attention.
Her mother shushed her, "Speak in a low voice."
Despite that, Yu Mei could hear her voice since they were standing a few steps away from them.
The girl once again ogled at Jun Zixuan, "Mommy, older brother looks like the most beautiful angel. Can I marry him when I grow up? This fat aunty looks ugly beside angel brother…"
Her mother stifled her laughter, "Baby, that's rude. You are just thirteen this year, don't think about all this." She dragged her daughter away before she could make trouble.
Yu Mei: " _" You aunty... Your whole family aunty and all your ancestors aunties.
She glared at the woman's retreating back, "If you find it rude, shouldn't you discipline her instead of laughing? Hypocrite!" She scoffed before looking at the little one standing beside her mother, "Come to me after I lose weight. See who is the real beauty here."
Soon, she will be receiving her medical reports and it will confirm whether she has some health issues or it's just her calories speaking. After that, she can start her workout schedule again.
Hopefully, things will go smoothly this time.
A burst of deep masculine laughter sounded beside her. She tilted her head to the side to look at the man.
Noticing her hard glare, Jun Zixuan covered his mouth with the back of his hand but he ended up chuckling once again.
She pinched his arm, "Do you find it that funny, hmm?"
Her pinch was just like a tickle to him but he froze for a split second. His eyes darkened slightly at the reminder of what happened in the afternoon, the way she sucked his finger. Luckily, he was able to get his finger out of her mouth without waking her up.
The erotic sight of her tongue circling his finger was imprinted in his mind.
What the heck was he thinking about? He closed his eyes.
His lips were set in a thin line.
"Did I hurt you?" She stopped pinching his arm after looking at his tense expression. She even gently caressed the spot she just pinched.
He hurriedly grabbed her hand putting a stop to her wayward actions before his thoughts could run further wild.
She sighed, "Are you angry? I'm sorry for pinching you. I just get touchy regarding this weight topic. The day I lose weight, that will be my day," This heavy body was being a burden to her.
"I'm not angry," He let go of her hand before pinching her cheeks, "You don't need to lose weight. You look fine just like this." Fluffy and soft, like a jelly cake and as cute as a baby.
She was wearing a long white dress that reached below her knees matched with a pair of baby pink sneakers. And although she appeared like a round dumpling from afar but she was pretty cute when you look closely.
"You are blind," She swatted away his hand, "After our divorce, you can marry anyone but her," She said, referring to that girl from earlier.
He raised an eyebrow, "What are you thinking about? She is a kid."
"She is barely 10 to 12 years younger than you. When you will be in your thirties, she will be in her early twenties. And it's trending for older man and a younger woman, " She calmly stated her point, "So angel brother, if you dare to marry her, I, Ha...cough…Yu Mei Zhen, as your friend will not attend your wedding."
He was speechless at her hypothesis. "You are my wife right now. Stop thinking about the future," He spoke in a deep voice.
She sighed, "Whatever."
