My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 2. Model Husband and Virtuous Wife

During lunch break, Watanabe and Noriko had a video call on Line for nearly half an hour.

They were inseparable during their college life, spending every day together and rarely being away from each other.

After graduation, we started working. All of a sudden, we had to go to work at eight in the morning and didn't see each other again until we got home at six in the evening.

They were very uncomfortable and suffered a lot, and both of them felt empty inside.

Even though they kept sending messages to each other to share interesting things at work, it was difficult to fill the void in their hearts, so a brief video call at noon became an unspoken regular routine for the two of them.

After lying back in the chair with his eyes closed and resting for ten minutes, Watanabe Tetsuya rubbed his brows and stood up. He put on black-framed glasses without prescription, pushed down his bangs to half cover his eyes, and went to Class A of the second grade with the lesson plan, ready to finish his only history class of the day.

When he got off work at four o'clock, no one could stop Watanabe from going home.

"What a good husband... Mr. Watanabe leaves school on time. It goes without saying that he is going to pick up his wife from get off work, right?" female teacher Matsumoto Hitomi expressed her emotion.

"Eh! We know without you telling us that if men today were half as fond of their wives as Mr. Watanabe is, would the marriage and birth rates in the island nation be so low?" It was Miyagawa Lu, and she continued:
"The men in the island country are really too bad. I really want to marry a man from China next door... It's a suzerain country, but at least there won't be demonstrations on the streets every day, there won't be fighting between the two factions, and there won't be big powers fighting each other. It's also safer..."

"That's true~ Even the men in the north and south of the peninsula are better than those in the island country..."

"Enough!" A male teacher couldn't stand it anymore and turned into a dueling warrior: "When you mock us island men, have you ever thought about the island women and the Yamato Nadeshiko style?"

After saying that, he slammed the table and walked away, leaving the two female teachers looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Did Mr. Kurosawa...take the wrong medicine? He seems to be quite normal today."

"It's not clear what Kurosawa is like? He probably wants to find an opportunity to get off work. After all, he is the head teacher of Class B." Miyagawa Lu seems to understand Kurosawa Ryosuke very well.

"Who knows him~"

"..."

Model husband Toru Watanabe was on his way to pick up his newlywed wife Noriko from get off work. While waiting at the traffic light, he saw a donut shop at the intersection.

The store has a spacious layout and warm-toned décor. It not only sells donuts, but also other desserts such as egg tarts, cakes, and ice cream.

"Welcome, what can I do for you?"

"One cream strawberry donut, one egg tart, and two cups of hot latte. Take them all away. Thank you."

"Yes! A very good deal of 1450 yen~"

The hospital where Noriko Shimizu works is Tokyo Shinjuku Kujo Hospital. As the name suggests, it is a private general hospital under the Kujo Group.

After leaving the donut shop, Watanabe drove to the hospital in less than ten minutes.

About five minutes after I sent the message to my wife, a woman in a gray skirt and a white chiffon shirt opened the passenger door.

"Tetsuya-kun~" Noriko Shimizu extended her left hand, and the diamond ring on her ring finger was eye-catching.

Watanabe leaned over and held it. It was cool and smooth, as if he was playing with a piece of jade.

She used the force to get into the car, and just as she closed the door, she gave Watanabe a gentle hug, then stared at him and muttered, "I just got off work, and was teased by those gossipy women again."

"What do they say about people who have experienced similar things to me?"

"Moving to a new house, buying a new car, and stuff like that. He always told us to stick together. And, um... and... asked us when we were going to have a baby... um, yeah, that's all."

The latest electric car of the "Three Body" brand slowly traveled through the street intersections in Tokyo and then stopped at a traffic light on a tram track.

Noriko Shimizu looked ahead and noticed her husband Toru Watanabe's gaze. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the traffic and people on the road. Her mind was in a mess. She could hear her heart beating like a deer. Her body felt weak, so she had to raise her hand to tidy up her hair to divert her attention.

The tram passed by with a clanging sound. In the near distance was a residential house, in the far distance were clusters of high-rise buildings in Tokyo. The orange sunset cast a large orange halo. As a newlywed young woman, Noriko Shimizu still had some of the immaturity of a girl. Her cheeks blushed and she was about to collapse in the passenger seat.

Watanabe Toru reached out in time and put his arms around his wife's shoulders, and then without saying anything, he pressed his lips against hers until the changeover light changed from red to yellow and then to green.

Another car honked behind them. The newlyweds, who were kissing deeply, came to their senses, smiled shyly at each other, and felt a little sorry for the car behind them.

It wasn't until the car started moving again that Shimizu Noriko noticed the donut shop's packaging bag. Her eyes lit up and her eyebrows curved: "Lucky~ I found a bag of wild donuts! I'm really hungry."

“Go and ask Tathagata... No, use the Master Ball!” “Hahahahaha~!” Jiko covered her lips with her hands and smiled like a lady. She tore open the bag with satisfaction: “There’s also coffee. Days like this are so happy.”

She likes cream strawberry flavored donuts, and her husband Watanabe likes egg tarts, so during the next two or three red lights, Kiko took the opportunity to feed Watanabe egg tarts and coffee.

The couple's newly purchased apartment is in Yotsuya, opposite the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, and there is a large supermarket more than 300 meters away from the apartment building.

Watanabe Toru parked the car by the side of the road and prepared to go shopping for food and daily necessities for the next three days with Noriko.

Following the recipe, I had omelette rice, sukiyaki and mapo tofu tonight.

After buying pork and ribs from the meat section, the Watanabe couple pushed the cart and walked towards the vegetable section while chatting.

The man is tall and straight, handsome, wearing black-framed glasses, and speaks in a soft voice. He has always been careful to protect the woman beside him from coming into contact with passers-by; the woman has a slim and stylish figure, with a beautiful and graceful appearance and a quiet temperament, which reminds people of the graceful actresses of the island country in the 90s, and she has always been snuggling up to the man beside her.

Suddenly, Watanabe felt a sense of being watched.

He turned around, his eyes fixed on a shelf, where the back of a tall and stylish woman happened to disappear around the corner.

"Tetsuya~what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing, I think I saw someone familiar..."

"Who is it?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm seeing things."

After hearing what her husband said, Kiko didn't pay much attention to it and continued to concentrate on choosing steak and pasta.

When I got home from shopping, the first thing I did was turn on the air purifier.

Noriko Shimizu walked into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner. Watanabe was also busy taking out the clothes from the laundry basket last night.

Instead of just throwing them into the washing machine, Watanabe separated the coats and underwear, threw the coats into the washing machine, and washed the underwear by hand.

After washing and hanging up, Watanabe mopped the floor again before sitting on the sofa to rest.

Looking at his wife's busy and slender figure in the kitchen, the perfect curves of her body outlined by the apron made Watanabe moved both physically and mentally.

I stood up and walked over to see Noriko preparing sukiyaki. This stew required no technical skills, but it worked!

After making the judgment, Watanabe, who was standing behind his wife, lowered his eyes slightly, pinched the woman's slender and soft waist with both hands, and then pressed his whole body forward.

"Yeah! I'm preparing dinner~!"

Watanabe buried his head in Noriko's neck, deeply sniffing the orange scent on her body, and speaking incoherently.

"What did you say?"

"…I said, let's have a child."

Watanabe lowered his head and Noriko raised her head, the couple looked at each other, the fiery heat hidden in the silence in their eyes was difficult to hide.

"Girl."

After repeating it once more, Watanabe suddenly grabbed Noriko's waist with both hands and lowered his head.

“Ugh~~!!”

With a crisp "ding~" sound, Noriko Shimizu put down the spoon and fumbled with her hands to turn down the fire.

The bubbling soup in the Sukiyaki pot calmed down, and then as time passed, it became agitated again under the slow cooking fire...

"Tetsuya~ Don't! Clothes... Don't! They're in the kitchen..."

"Okay, Jizi, please be patient for a moment. I'll help you tie your apron later, okay?"

"……Um."
