Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Saving Face

A night passed without word, and Cheng Su thought she’d be unable to sleep with a "stranger" beside her, but that wasn’t the case; she fell asleep and when she awoke, the sky was already light.

Touching the space next to her, she found it cool and couldn’t help sitting up.

Had he risen so early? Or had he already left?

Cheng Su’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat melancholy for some reason.

It was strange; she wasn’t familiar with Qi Taiguo, even though they were legally husband and wife. To her, he was still a stranger. Yet, she had managed to sleep peacefully through the night.

Could it be because it’s someone else’s body with her memories inherited?

As Cheng Su pondered wildly, she heard voices outside the room, seemingly Mother Qi and Qi Taiguo. Her heart jolted, and she hurriedly got dressed.

Stepping outside, indeed it was the two of them, Qi Taiguo wearing only a pair of shorts, his upper body bare, bringing up a bucket of cold water from the well and dousing himself with it.

Mother Qi was nagging at him, saying something about the well water being icy cold and how it wasn’t good to drench himself with cold water so early in the morning, and so on.

Qi Taiguo said he was used to it, that he had done the same after training in the military. It seemed he had gone for training early in the morning!

Seeing Cheng Su appear, Qi Taiguo looked at her unfavorably and huffed.

Mother Qi also saw her daughter-in-law and hurriedly said, "Go quickly and make breakfast. Taiguo has to eat and then return to the military. You can go back to your family later today for the home visit!"

That’s right, today was Cheng Su’s day to return home, three days after her marriage.

It was rather pitiable; married to a military man, even her return home had to be done alone.

A trace of sadness flitted across Cheng Su’s face.
