74 A Surprise from Him to Her (2/2)
She reached out and landed a fist at his chest, blushing right to the tip of her ears. Turning to leave, she responded, ”Silly.”
He caught up and stretched his long arms to hug her shoulders. ”Do you want to learn? I can teach you for free and even provide you with the tools for practice.”
”Get lost…”
Jin Qingyan had always enjoyed teasing her, so he continued, ”As my wife, you don't even want to humor me with such pleasures. How about this — let's do it the '69' way, fair and square. None of us will lose out.”
An Xiaoning went blank. ”What is '69'?”
”Mmm… this, I'll explain when we get home…”
The two cars arrived at their doorstep one after another.
After parking in the garage, he got off first and told her, ”Get into my car, I've something to tell you.”
”We can say anything in the room, why sit in the car?”
”Quick, I just want to tell you in the car.”
An Xiaoning had no choice but to open the door beside the driver's seat and get in. ”What do you want to say?” she asked.
He looked towards the backseat and said, ”For you.”
An Xiaoning followed his eyes and turned around. The back row was full of beautiful, delicate roses.
It would be a lie if she said she wasn't surprised, but she felt that he was being exceptionally unusual. She then asked, ”A gift with ulterior motives. Tell me, what have you done wrong towards me again?”
”You're overthinking again.” He stuck out his finger to poke her head and remarked in amusement, ”Why can't you just think of my virtues.”
An Xiaoning opened the car door and got off. She opened the back door of the car. The sight of so many bright red flowers before her suddenly brightened up her mood tremendously.
”Place the flowers in the living room, place a huge bunch in the bedroom too. I love them.”
”Alright.”
Upon entering the living room, Maomao ran over excitedly, biting the corner of An Xiaoning's pants. She squatted down and commented, ”Has Maomao been eating loads of good food recently, he's gotten so fat.”
”You just see, this fellow will get so fat that you won't be able to carry him one day.”
An Xiaoning carried Maomao and said, ”If I can't carry him, I'll just walk him. Too bad our Maomao is male. If not, I can still see him mate and give birth to little puppies.”
She held Maomao in her arms and sat on the sofa, using her hand to stroke its white fur. ”Why do I just feel that you're acting really unusual today.”
He sat beside her and tilted his body to look at her. ”Tonight, I'll act even more unusual.”
Unable to withstand the steamy look in his eyes, An Xiaoning stood up, placed Maomao in its doghouse, and went to the kitchen to watch Auntie Chen make dinner.
During dinner, Jin Qingyan picked up more food for her with his chopsticks and said gently, ”Eat more.”
An Xiaoning passed a suspicious glance at him. She couldn't help but think he was acting strange today.
”Why do you always mix the fermented beancurd and other ingredients with your rice? Is it tasty that way?”
”You try it too.”
She picked up a piece of fermented beancurd with her chopsticks and placed it in his bowl, conveniently mixing it for him. ”Taste it.”
Jin Qingyan raised his spoon and imitated her by placing a huge scoop into his mouth. It did not taste horrible at all — on the contrary, with the addition of the handmade peanut chili sauce which had its unique flavor, the texture was very refreshing.
After a satisfactory meal, An Xiaoning sat on the sofa to rest.
Jin Qingyan grabbed her arm and said, ”Come with me.”
