Having achieved his goal, Hai Xing finally took his leave, thoroughly satisfied.
Once Hai Xing had left, Honoka eagerly threw herself into Xia Yu's arms. "Xia Yu, you're so clever! I never thought of asking for fabric and tailors instead of a bounty..."
Xia Yu reached out and gently pinched Honoka's cute, chubby cheek, chuckling.
"With Yingying Beast being so big, wouldn't making her clothes all by yourself wear you out? Since he happened to need my help and had no money, I figured I'd just leave the sewing to them. You only need to handle the design..."
"Hehe, you really do care about me the most, Xia Yu~"
"You're my wife. Who would I care about if not you..."
Honoka pursed her little lips and mumbled, "Then... since you care about me so much, there's something I need you to do right now that needs even more of your loving attention..."
Seeing Honoka's shy expression, Xia Yu instantly understood what she meant. He grinned mischievously and asked despite already knowing, "Hmm? What is it?"
Honoka glanced at the bed beside them. "You're awful. You know perfectly well. Do you really have to make me say it?"
Xia Yu knew he probably wouldn't get out of this.
Oh well, let's make it quick...
Honoka was just about to push Xia Yu onto the bed and have her way with him when he caught her around the waist and shook his head.
"What's wrong, Xia Yu? Don't... don't you care about me anymore?" Honoka was a little hurt.
"Humans originally invented beds just to sleep in. There's no need to stay in bed to do anything else..."
Xia Yu glanced meaningfully toward the sofa beside them.
"Let's do it here. It's pretty good. I can rest my back against it too..."
