Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 431 - Chapter 431 Chapter 430 Honey Im Back

Chapter 431: Chapter 430: Honey, I’m Back Chapter 431: Chapter 430: Honey, I’m Back Under the stars and moon, in the thick of night, a tall figure strode up the mountain.

Under the moonlight, faint shadows swayed on the ground with his steps.

Among the mountain woods, the night was chilly and the cold wind biting.

Soon after.

A knock sounded on the wooden door.

Thud thud thud–

Su Shu was sitting on the bed, wiping the freshly washed wet hair of Xiao’ai in her arms, when the quiet was suddenly broken by the sound of knocking, causing her hand to stop.

Under her hand, Xiao’ai’s head swiftly turned towards the direction of the door, then twisted her little body to look up at her.

A delighted expression spread across her face.

A tremor ran through Su Shu’s heart, suddenly fluttering.

Thinking of the possibility, she hurriedly got up from the bed, “Xiao’ai, wait for me, I’m going to open the door. It might be your Uncle Zelin coming back!”

Xiao’ai’s smile revealed two dimples, as she nodded vigorously, shaking her messy hair!

After knocking, Tang Zelin waited for a moment, then heard the sound of hurried, disordered footsteps inside; the man’s lips couldn’t help but curve up in satisfaction.

The moment the door opened, he lunged forward, wrapping his arms tightly around the little woman who had been yearning to welcome him.

“Wife, I’m back.”

The familiar, endearing tone in the deep and hoarse voice was too much for Su Shu; she burrowed into his embrace and hugged him as tightly as he did, clinging firmly to his sturdy waist.

“Why did you come back so late!”

Her voice was whiny yet filled with complaint, instantly melting the coolness off Tang Zelin, making him feel warm from head to toe, inside and out.

Holding Su Shu, he gently swayed her twice, unable to resist pulling back a little to seek her warm lips.

Su Shu tiptoed, trying her best to match his tall form.

Xiao’ai, who had stealthily climbed off the bed, stood not far behind Su Shu, clutching her Dinosaur King, her clear eyes looking up at her most beloved family.

The moon above Auntie and Uncle Zelin was so bright!

Half an hour later, a freshly washed Tang Zelin, drying his hair and carrying a basin of water, walked in to see his favorite little wife sitting cross-legged on the bed, braiding Xiao’ai’s hair.

The two women, one big, one small, right in front of him–threw him into a moment of warmth and envy.

With big eyes blinking, Xiao’ai sat obediently with her Dinosaur King, letting Auntie Su Shu braid her hair, her gaze fixed curiously on Tang Zelin, amusing him greatly.

This little darling was always so lovable to everyone.

Tang Zelin couldn’t resist stepping forward while drying his hair, gently tapping her chubby little chin.

“Yo, why does our Xiao’ai have so many braids?”

Xiao’ai giggled at being tickled.

Tang Zelin stepped back, feigning contemplation of Xiao’ai’s “fashionable” braids, and laughed, “Does that mean if Auntie braids your hair today, our Xiao’ai will turn into a great beauty tomorrow?”

To his surprise, Xiao’ai grinned and nodded vigorously!

All of a sudden, she shook her head, and Su Shu, who was in the middle of tying up the hair with a rubber band, didn’t notice. The braid slipped through her fingers, and she had to start over!

Su Shu turned her head and glared at Tang Zelin, who was playfully teasing Xiao’ai, and scolded, “Now that you’re done washing up, don’t make trouble. I was almost finished with the last few braids, and now we have to start all over.”

Tang Zelin winked at Xiao’ai with his left eye, provoking another round of laughter from her.

“Really, I can’t stand you two!”

After Tang Zelin dried off his hair and body, he leaned sentimentally behind Su Shu, pressing his body close against her back, his chin resting on her shoulder, curiously watching her nimble fingers work to quickly form a neat braid.

“What made you decide to give the little girl so many braids?”

As she braided, Su Shu turned her head and planted a kiss on the man’s rugged cheek, then turned back and said, “Tomorrow, Grandma Fu said she’s taking Xiao’ai to the activity center in the secure zone to play. I thought since Xiao’ai doesn’t often go out, she should dress up, of course!”

“A woman dresses to please the one she loves. When will you dress up for me to see?” Tang Zelin teased with a laugh.
