745 A Million Times for You 107 (1/2)
An Xiaoning stood outside the bathroom and asked, ”Are you okay?”
”…”
There was no response.
”Qingyan?”
”…”
He still did not answer.
Did he faint from getting the runs?
She pushed the door of the bathroom open and made eye contact with Jin Qingyan, who was sitting on the toilet bowl.
”Why didn't you answer me?”
”I'm dying.”
Smiling wryly, An Xiaoning said, ”Continue with your business…”
She swiftly exited and waited outside the door.
Jin Qingyan came out of the bathroom a few minutes later. An Xiaoning pointed at the porridge and said, ”Auntie Chen made that. Rest assured and eat it.”
His stomach was empty and uncomfortable.
He felt much better after taking a few mouthfuls of the porridge. He guffawed and said, ”You almost killed me with your cooking. I was in so much pain and discomfort.”
”I'm sorry.”
”It's alright, lie down here,” said Jin Qingyan, patting the spot beside him.
”I haven't removed my makeup or taken a shower yet,” said An Xiaoning, who then poured some makeup remover solution on a cotton pad and began cleaning the makeup off her face. Afterward, she picked up her pajamas and headed to the bathroom.
He lay in bed and closed his eyes.
Knock, knock, knock. ”Young Sir, it's me,” said Fan Shixin.
Jin Qingyan got out of bed slowly and opened the door, after which Fan Shixin handed him a paper bag. ”Here, Young Sir.”
Jin Qingyan took the bag from him and closed the door. He peeked inside the bag and placed it onto the table before lying back down in bed.
An Xiaoning came out of the shower and dried her hair with a hairdryer. Noticing the paper bag on the table, she asked, ”Masks?”
”I got Shixin to buy it for you specially.”
”I haven't finished using the ones you got me previously…” She hurriedly paused in her speech.
Jin Qingyan smirked and stared at her. ”Didn't you say that you had already thrown them away?”
”I didn't, actually. It's such a waste to throw them away. I decided to just use them instead,” said An Xiaoning, pretending to maintain her composure.
”Try this, it's from a newly-launched brand. See if you like it.”
An Xiaoning stepped forward and took out the box of serum facial masks from the laced packaging. It was from a prestigious brand. She then took out a sheet and laid it across her face.
”Give me one too.”
He had rarely asked for a facial mask.
Thus, she took another one out and spread it across his face.
While lying beside him, An Xiaoning glanced at him and said, ”This reminds me of when we first got married. We used to lie in bed beside each other and apply facial masks together, just like what we're doing now.”
”So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. It feels as if it just happened yesterday.”
”I was too careless in my decision to marry you. If I could turn back time, I definitely wouldn't have married you so soon.”
”If I could turn back time… I would still marry you,” he said, beaming with joy.
”Why?”
”It may have been a careless and impulsive decision to marry you back then, but I've never once regretted it. In fact, when I turn old and gray, I'd even feel thankful and lucky to have had the honor of being in love with you. That's a privilege that other men will never get to enjoy.”
”Who said so? I'll still continue to look for a boyfriend in the future,” she said on purpose.
”I won't allow you that chance.”
”Who are you to tell me what to do…?”
”You're the mother of my child, of course I'd have to keep you in check.”
