Shen breathed a long sigh of relief after his parents left.
They were just. so. much. work.
He glanced at the petit little wife next to him and was taken aback. Her eyes were glistening as she bit her lower lip trying not to cry.
He put his arms around her and kissed the top of her head.
"Now now, they will come back to visit you soon. I promise."
He felt her cute head nod obediently under his chin. Internally he was cursing himself. He'd now have to make sure that his annoying parents came back to visit Lina regularly.
"Shen, but shouldn't I be the one visiting at the old residence? It's not right for mother and father to have to take the trouble to make a trip to us."
This silly woman, wasn't she aware that there was a double assassination attempt on her life just three months ago!?
"You're not to leave the estate for a bit, Lina. Last night was a mistake. You should have been asleep."
