Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Older Husband, Younger Wife

It was a bit painful on the body.

He pinched Ye Fei’s waist, pulling her forcefully against himself.

"We’ll talk after we’re done?" Even at this point, Zhao Gushen maintained a lilt in his voice, seeking her opinion.

But that was all he could manage to say.

Any more, and it would have been difficult for him to articulate.

Ye Fei gasped, her whole body flushed: "I’m afraid I won’t have the strength to talk afterward."

Zhao Gushen tensed up, saying with difficulty, "Then look at me, do I look like I can talk much right now?"

Ye Fei: "..."

If she’d known, she wouldn’t have burrowed into his embrace.

"We’re clearly an old married couple," Ye Fei murmured softly.

Zhao Gushen was so amused, he laughed out of frustration.

Grabbing her waist, he spoke deeply, "Who said we’re an old married couple?"

"Well, isn’t it..." Ye Fei paused, then said, "Technically, we’ve been together for over five years, right?"

This time Zhao Gushen was truly amused by Ye Fei’s words.

"Who counts it that way?" Five years, really!

"Can you even count the time from five years ago?" He didn’t remember much from back then.

"Obviously, it should only count from last year!" Zhao Gushen argued.

"Even so, it’s been almost a year." In relationships, the freshness typically lasts about a year.

Beyond that, it’s not fresh anymore.

The relationship gradually normalizes.

During the freshness period, everything about each other seems wonderful.

Minor bad habits, small faults, or tiny flaws are covered by a filter, seen as harmless, or even somewhat endearing.

But once that feeling fades and the filter is gone,

those faults that seemed insignificant start to show.

What you could tolerate at first might become increasingly annoying.

Otherwise, besides cheating or other special cases, why are there so many breakups?

Even though they hadn’t reached a year, Ye Fei thought, as time goes on, the filter between them might also crumble.

Of course, her filter for Zhao Gushen certainly wouldn’t break.

What a great guy he is!

She was just afraid that over time, Zhao Gushen’s filter for her might crack.

Men crave novelty.

After a long time, wouldn’t he get tired of her?

It’s not that she doubts Zhao Gushen.

For anyone, after becoming an old married couple, the fiery passion turns into familial love.

It’s an inevitable trend.

"Can we even be called an old married couple?" Zhao Gushen said in a low, deep voice.

"It would take at least twenty or thirty years to be considered old married partners." Zhao Gushen touched the corner of Ye Fei’s eye.

She still had a youthful, plump face.

No lines at the corners of her eyes.

Her cheeks were full.

"At least, until lines form on your face, collagen diminishes, and your skin isn’t as supple. Until I start getting gray hair, when I’m not smiling, lines appear around my eyes, my face becomes gaunt, lacking elasticity."

"By then, both of us will be old, and that’s when we’ll truly be an old married couple," Zhao Gushen said.

"However, you should age slower than me." Zhao Gushen smiled.

"You’re younger than me, and look at our mom, still looks like she’s in her thirties because she takes such good care of herself."

"I’m rough with skincare." Zhao Gushen just applies some shaving cream and a bit of water and lotion every day.

Whereas Ye Fei had bottles and jars of products to apply.

"You’re different, you take good care of yourself. By the time I’m a shriveled middle-aged man, you’ll still look like you’re in your thirties, beautiful as ever," Zhao Gushen laughed.

"Look at dad and mom, they’re the best proof."

Zhao Dinghuan still had good looks, but he had the appearance of a man with age.

He could be considered a handsome middle-aged man.

But compared to Chi Jingsi, there seemed to be an age gap.

Zhao Gushen thought for a moment and said, "So, by then, we can’t really be called an old married couple, only an old man and his young wife."

Ye Fei: "..."

This man, how does he know what to say?

And he managed to make her so happy. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

What woman wouldn’t hope to age slower, and keep her youth longer?

The thought of being an old man with a young wife brings a smile.
