4716 Never Too Late to Love (123)

She exhaled deeply. “Yes, I know. I won’t let my imagination run wild.”

Mu Yazhe smiled in relief as he rubbed the back of her neck. He leaned over and was about to kiss her mouth when they heard approaching footsteps. Then the sound suddenly halted, as if the person felt a little awkward to be walking in upon this scene.

The couple turned around and saw Yueyao standing rooted to the ground in her slippers, blinking her eyes.

“Uh… I…” She immediately covered her eyes and turned around. “I… I didn’t see anything!”

“…”

Yun Shishi started to pull away, but Mu Yazhe held her firmly and did not allow her to break free.

They were husband and wife. Kissing was just a daily act of affection. It was not something to be ashamed of.

On the other hand, Yueyao was quite tactful. She knew that she had accidentally stumbled upon something she shouldn’t have been peeking at, and she also knew that it was improper to look, so she immediately covered her eyes.

In fact, since the children were young, the two of them would be intimate occasionally. It was common for the children to stumble upon such situations, however, it made the little ones happy. There was nothing more blissful than having parents who cared to be intimate with each other. Children would feel gratified as well, if their parents had a good relationship.

Yueyao pursed her lips and snickered. She immediately turned around and hurried into her room.

Yun Shishi was extremely embarrassed, but Mu Yazhe laughed at her. “What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

“It’s not good for the children to see this.”

“What’s wrong with it?” The man smiled. “She’ll have a family and a husband sooner or later. Besides, kissing is common in movies. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

As he spoke, he moved closer to his wife.

Their lips met again and pressed tightly against each other’s.

Hiding in a corner, Yueyao covered her mouth as she watched the couple kiss.

…

In the room, things finally calmed down after a passionate session of intimacy. With her arms around Mu Yazhe’s waist and her head resting on his chest, Yun Shishi suddenly lamented, “Actually, if one does the math, life is really short.”

“How so?”

“It feels as though giving birth to Yueyao only happened yesterday. Even the scene of you taking care of her and I during my confinement period is still vivid in my mind.”

The man smiled. “The ordeal is often longer, but happiness is always short-lived.”

“I’ve calculated. Even if we can live to a hundred years old, look, there are less than 20,000 days left.”

“20,000 days? How did you arrive at that?”

“365 days times 60 years.”

She did a rough calculation.

Mu Yazhe had not thought about this question until now. After all, a man’s thoughts was not as intricate as a woman’s. However, when he heard that the two of them had only another 20,000 days or less together, he could not help feeling a little emotional.

“Why did you suddenly think of this?”

“I watched a video today. It was about an old couple. The wife was in her 90s. At the end of her life, her husband held her hand and said ‘I love you’ to her. I watched it and for some reason, it made me cry.”

She did not think of herself as a sentimental woman. But when she saw this program, she thought about it and immediately felt that when the time came for them to part, it would be a difficult thing to do.

Mu Yazhe drew her tightly to himself. “That’s why we have to cherish the time we have together.”
