1531 So, You’re Now Living Together? (2/2)

”Yeah. It's so early, and it's not like we have to farm or chop firewood. If we'd woken up this early, we'd be lazing around. We might as well sleep in instead.” Li Jinnan headed to the kitchen to wash his hands. He poured Qin Shuhua a glass of warm water and asked, ”You came alone?”

”Of course! Did you actually think your father would come?” Qin Shuhua looked as if he had just asked a ridiculous question. She took the glass of water from Li Jinnan's hand and asked, ”Did the lady know that I was coming?”

”I didn't tell her.” Li Jinnan lied without batting an eyelid. ”I wanted to give her a surprise, but you spoiled it by coming so early and turning the surprise into a shock.”

When Qin Shuhua heard that, she looked at her son accusatorily and replied, ”How could you not say anything beforehand? That's so unbecoming of you!”

”You aren't doing too badly yourself.” Li Jinnan nudged her toward the couch. ”I haven't brushed my teeth yet. Give me a moment, Mom. Let me wash up.”

”Hurry up!” Qin Shuhua smiled until her eyes became slits. Her happiness was evident, ”So, you're now living together? How long as it been?”

”Not too long,” Li Jinnan replied. ”I'll tell you more later!”

”Alright. Alright!” Qin Shuhua watched him as he disappeared inside.

She quickly got up to take a look around. The surroundings had been decorated according to the Li Jinnan's tastes. It was extremely simple. However, there seemed to be a few additions that hinted of a feminine influence. Li Jinnan would never have displayed such décor on his own.

For example, there was a decorative doll on the bookshelf by the wall. Additionally, there was a beautiful photo frame on the display cabinet and an oil painting hanging on the wall. Most importantly, the surroundings were clean and spotless.

Qin Shuhua looked inside and decided that it would be some time before Li Jinnan re-emerged. She walked into the kitchen. The kitchen was the best gauge in determining if a woman was virtuous and clean or not.

Li Jinnan couldn't cook. That meant the cooking chores would fall into the hands of his woman.
