752 A Million Times for You 114 (1/2)
”I've already soaked in the hot spring when you left for work in the afternoon.”
Why didn't you wait for me? Jin Qingyan thought in his head.
”Ah, it's snowing.” An Xiaoning looked up at the sky and twirled around merrily.
”The weather was fair for a few days and yet it's snowing again.”
”I doubt it'd be heavy. I've already read the weather forecast.” Noticing that he did not mention a word about the interview, An Xiaoning asked, ”I've watched the interview. Why didn't you switch your mobile phone to silent mode during the live-stream?”
Jin Qingyan chucked his hands inside the pockets of his coat and said, ”I didn't find it to be a disturbance.”
”Huh?”
”I meant, the slip-up that had happened during the live-stream today didn't bring about any disturbances to me.”
An Xiaoning began to feel a little jittery when he stared at her intently. It was that exact look in his eyes that had bewitched her ever since the first time they met, although he did not say anything verbally.
”I thought you would find it awkward and even get upset after the filming of the live-stream ended.”
He held her hand and asked, ”Why aren't you wearing any gloves?”
”We're just out for a walk, there's no need to bring so many thermal necessities.”
Thus, Jin Qingyan took the chance to hold her hand in his.
The warmth of his touch reminded An Xiaoning of the happy past they used to have.
They were pacing slowly along their path, just like an old married couple. At this point, An Xiaoning could not decide what their relationship was.
However, she decided to be willful and follow her heart.
”From now on, stop seeing that Major,” said Jin Qingyan.
”We're only ordinary friends.”
”Do you really think he only sees you as an ordinary friend? As a man, I know clearly what he's thinking,” Jin Qingyan remarked in displeasure.
”What do you know? Indeed, when Godma introduced him to me during a matchmaking session, I didn't eliminate the possibility of getting into a relationship with him in the future. It's not like I had given up on love either. He really has a great personality.”
”You've only known him for days and yet you already find him to be a great person?”
”Does time really matter? Sometimes, you can tell a person's character after having just a simple meal with them. Besides, on the day of the matchmaking session, I revealed to him that I would be unable to conceive from now on. Yet he actually said that he didn't mind it.”
Jin Qingyan immediately retorted, ”He was just trying to dupe you into falling for him first.”
”Don't think so badly of everyone, alright? Perhaps he really doesn't mind at all.”
Jin Qingyan let go of her hand and scoffed, ”If he's that great, why didn't you just accept him right away? Wouldn't that have made things easy?”
Noticing the tone of disgruntlement in his voice, An Xiaoning teased, ”Piggy, you should be called the 'S Nation's King of Jealousy.'”
Jin Qingyan felt slightly better to hear the unique pet name she had for him. ”I just don't like hearing you praise other men. It upsets me.”
”What if I'm praising our son?”
”He's a male too.”
An Xiaoning was momentarily speechless. She sighed and remarked, ”Not only do you get jealous over the slightest things, but you're also exceptionally petty. You're hopeless.”
”That's why you'd better know your place and limits. Don't think you're free to date anyone just because we're no longer married. You've long become my property. No one can think of having you. You're mine and mine alone.”
”You're the only person who treasures me this much. I don't mean that much to others at all.”
”You know that, yet you're still so discontented.” He squatted down in front of her and said, ”Hop on.”
”I'm not a cripple, I have legs and can walk on my own.”
”Hop on.”
Seeing how sincere and insistent he was on piggybacking her, An Xiaoning decided to concede.
She bent forward and got on his back.
