Xiao Qingcang came home, and Shen Hanqian was already waiting outside to greet him.
He stepped out of the car and immediately pulled her into his arms, kissing her hair in the evening breeze. He murmured playfully into her ear, "What's this? You missed me that much? Couldn't even stand a little separation?"
Shen Hanqian responded by kissing him back, nuzzling her face against his stubbly cheek just as he had done.
The two of them kissed endlessly in the Shen Family's courtyard, unable to pull away from each other.
"Ahem, ahem…" came a few exaggerated coughs from Shen Hanqian's father, who was watching from the window.
Hearing him, Shen Hanqian quickly shoved Xiao Qingcang away.
Xiao Qingcang, equally embarrassed, promptly let go of her.
They exchanged sheepish smiles, and Shen Hanqian hurriedly pulled him inside the house.
