Chapter 335 - 332: Wife’s Exclusive Summon

Chapter 335: Chapter 332: Wife’s Exclusive Summon

"Babe, I’m almost there. Are you coming down to the elevator to get me?" Jiang Xia called Lin Yanwan eagerly as soon as he entered the residential complex.

"No way. You’re a grown man, you don’t need someone to pick you up just to come home." Lin Yanwan refused flatly over the phone.

But the moment she hung up, she turned to Ji Wanqiu and said, "Mom, Jiang Xia’s here. I’m going to get him."

"Xiaxia’s here? Go on, then. Did you buy the soy sauce I asked you to get earlier?"

"I told him to buy it and bring it over."

"It’s just a few steps out the door. Why are you always ordering Xiaxia around?" Ji Wanqiu sounded slightly displeased.

Lin Yanwan couldn’t help but pout. "Mom, he’s not your son-in-law yet. I’m your daughter. How can you side with an outsider like that?"

"Why isn’t he? He calls me ’Mom’ with more warmth than you do," Ji Wanqiu retorted without hesitation. "Hurry up and get him. Oh, and buy a drink on your way back. We’re having spicy boiled fish for lunch, so it might be a little hot."

"Oh."

Just as Lin Yanwan was about to leave, Xiao Man ran over and hugged her leg, not letting her go.

"Sis, I want to go get Brother-in-law too!" she said, looking up with her little face, her eyes pleading.

"Xiao Man, it’s cold outside. I’ll be right back. How about you open the door for us when we get back?" Lin Yanwan crouched down, smiling as she patted her sister’s head.

"Mmm, then Xiao Man wants juice!"

Seeing the serious look on her sister’s face, Lin Yanwan got the distinct impression that her sister was more interested in a trip to the supermarket for a drink; picking up Jiang Xia was secondary.

"Alright, Sis will buy you some orange juice with pulp."

"Yay!"

Xiao Man let go and ran over to hug Yuyuan, who had grown into a big cat. She squeezed its little pink paw pads and said adorably, "Then Xiao Man and Yuyuan will wait at home to open the door for you and Brother-in-law."

"Good girl~"

After placating her sister, Lin Yanwan changed her shoes, opened the door, and left. In the elevator lobby, she watched the elevator slowly stop on the fifth floor and guessed it was probably Jiang Xia.

The doors opened, and Jiang Xia walked out holding the soy sauce, a teasing smile on his face. "Didn’t you say you weren’t coming to get me? My baby missed me, didn’t she?"

"Of course not..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Xia grabbed her soft body, pinned her against the wall, and kissed her tender pink lips.

The voice-activated light in the elevator lobby happened to go out just then. The two embraced, kissing passionately in the dim space. Even though they had only been apart for one night, they couldn’t control the desire to take more from each other.

About a minute later, Jiang Xia, breathing heavily, reluctantly let go of her slightly swollen lips.

"Baby, I missed you," he whispered, pressing his forehead against Lin Yanwan’s.

"Well, I didn’t miss you," Lin Yanwan said, wiping the saliva from the corner of her lips, her words betraying her true feelings.

It was a good thing the lights were out, or he would have surely seen her blushing cheeks.

Jiang Xia chuckled, not calling her out on her act. After all, she had been kissing him back just as earnestly.

"Where are Mom and Dad?"

"In the kitchen, cooking the fish."

"Oh. I want another kiss before we go in. I didn’t get enough just now."

"No more kisses! You’ve already kissed my lips swollen."

Lin Yanwan bared her small, perfect white teeth and gave him a light bite.

She had known all along. The only reason he’d wanted her to come down was so he could take advantage of her out here, and she had been right.

"Just one. No tongue this time, just lips."

Just as Lin Yanwan was hesitating, the sound of a door opening echoed in the hallway, followed by footsteps. The voice-activated light flickered on.

Jiang Xia couldn’t help but look disappointed.

A corner of Lin Yanwan’s mouth curled up, and she whispered gloatingly, "Looks like someone’s plans just went down the drain~"

"Hmph, don’t get too happy. Just wait until we get back to the Imperial Capital. I’ll deal with you then!"

"We’ll see who’s dealing with whom," Lin Yanwan said defiantly.

She was conveniently forgetting about the time in their past life when she’d drained him so completely he couldn’t get out of bed for an entire day.

Before the neighbor could get closer, Lin Yanwan pulled Jiang Xia into the stairwell.

"What are we doing here? Aren’t we going home?" Jiang Xia asked, stunned.

"My mom told me to go buy a drink. Xiao Man wants juice."

Lin Yanwan wrinkled her nose. "Earlier, I asked you to bring the soy sauce, and Mom said I’m always ordering you around. Am I really ordering you around?"

Jiang Xia nodded with great solemnity.

"Mom is right."

"How have I been ordering you around?!"

Jiang Xia took her hand and lowered it, winking with a grin. "Just admit it, you’ve been summoning me. I’m your most obedient summon."

Lin Yanwan’s face flushed, and she couldn’t help but spit playfully, "You degenerate."

Then she pinched him in retaliation.

Jiang Xia sucked in a sharp breath.

After that, the two walked down the stairs, bought a bottle of juice at the supermarket, and also a bottle of soy milk.

Juice was a bit cold to drink in the winter, but the soy milk could be heated up.

They walked home hand in hand, and Jiang Xia knocked on the door.

Xiao Man, who had been waiting for a long time, opened the door while holding Yuyuan. She said in pleasant surprise, "Brother-in-law, you’re here! Xiao Man’s been waiting for you for so long."

"Good girl, Xiao Man. Brother-in-law will play with you in a bit~" Jiang Xia pinched his little sister-in-law’s cheek, placed the soy sauce and drinks on the table, and then took Yuyuan from her arms.

He hadn’t seen him in half a year, and Yuyuan had gotten so big. Especially his two little balls, which swayed back and forth when he walked.

"Yuyuan, do you still remember me?" he asked, scratching under Yuyuan’s chin.

"Meow~"

Yuyuan rubbed his cute little cat head against Jiang Xia’s palm.

"Looks like you do. Such a good boy."

He played with Yuyuan for a bit before letting him go off on his own. ’I wonder if I should take Yuyuan with us when we go to the Imperial Capital in a few days,’ he thought.

’After all, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are usually busy, and my little sister-in-law has school. There’s no one to take care of Yuyuan.’

’Okay, those are all just excuses. I just want to take Yuyuan with me, same as in my past life.’

’The problem is, my little sister-in-law has grown attached to Yuyuan now. She probably won’t agree.’

"Xiaxia, you’re here?" Ji Wanqiu came out wiping her hands. When she saw Jiang Xia, a wide smile spread across her face.

Last night, Lin Gaoyuan had told her about his conversation with Jiang Xia, and she had grown to like this outstanding future son-in-law even more.

Not to mention, the fact that he had quietly saved their family with the merchandising rights for *Cat and Mouse* was enough to max out her affection for him. Now, she practically saw him as her own son.

"Mom."

Jiang Xia said with a smile.

He shyly handed her the note Xia Shanshan had left for him. "My mom had to go out for something today, so she told me to come here for lunch."

Ji Wanqiu glanced at the elegant handwriting on the note and chuckled inwardly. She knew perfectly well that coming for lunch was just an excuse; his real reason was to see her daughter.

"Xiaxia, if you want to come over for a meal, just let me know. I’ll cook for you every day. In fact, why don’t you just stay the night tonight?"

Lin Yanwan froze. ’Did Mom just sell me out? If he doesn’t go back, where is he supposed to sleep?!’

’Don’t tell me he’s going to sleep in my bed?’
