18 Chapter 18 : Husband’s Expensive Image (2/2)

”So wasteful!” Xiulan can't help but rant in her heart. She really can't bear seeing Hongqi swiping that black card on a 300,000 Yuan bag that she will never ever use. She wanted to cry and vomit blood on each swipe. My goodness, she's gonna get a heart attack because of this.

Xiulan kept praying to each Gods that ever existed to end this tormenting shopping spree. She can't take it anymore. She doesn't want to exhaust Hongqi's black card anymore.

Finally they were finish and they are eating in a five star restaurant right now. Anywhere they go, it must be somewhere expensive.

Xiulan was so exhausted; spiritually and physically. Even eating this expensive salmon dish was so distasteful for her. How can she eat a meal that costs 700 yuan each (Almost $100)?

She looks at Hongqi's calm face and aura. He doesn't seem to be bothered by that unbelievable shopping spree and he even has the energy to eat a very expensive meal.

Xiulan enlightened herself that even though her family is rich; Hongqi's richness is definitely in a different level. He can afford very expensive stuff without battling an eyelash and any problems.

She must not offend him. Definitely she must not offend him. She should ask a Chinese calligraphy master to write a quote ”Must not offend!” for her. She will put that quote in her office, her bed room, her living room and in her bathroom. She should consistently remind herself to never be in Hongqi's bad side.

”What bad luck, huh?” Xiulan depressingly told to herself and ate her meal. She never wanted this kind of lifestyle.

”Wifey, you should have an endearment for me.” Hongqi suddenly said and gave Xiulan a lustrous look. His eyes were shining and it looks like he suddenly felt teasing her.

”Uhh…” Xiulan was caught off guard by Hongqi's stupid request. Hongqi raises his eyebrows and this immediately alarmed Xiulan. ”Must not offend!” Xiulan scolded herself.

”How about hubby? Hmm?” Xiulan immediately and cutely suggested. Xiulan felt like she lost thousands of her braincells when she suggested that name.

”Hmmm…It's fine but it doesn't sound so sweet.” Hongqi lowkey complained and sips his wine while he stares at her. He was teasing her again just because he already ate some food and has the energy.

”My hubby? My husband?” Xiulan disdainfully uttered each endearment but she still has that sweet smiling face.

”I think hubby is fine. No need to sweat it.” He said and plastered a playful smile.

”Curse you and your next generation!” Xiulan coldly resented him but still has that awkward smile on her face.

Hongqi was enjoying teasing Xiulan and seeing that fake smile on her face. He found a new joy in having her as his wife. He could never do this to his women before. They would try to satisfy him smoothly without any disdainful look. It was so boring for him. But seeing the restrained Xiulan getting provoked makes him happy.

His happy mood suddenly ended when he saw one of his ex-flings wearing a very expensive dress and accessories. She looks regal and very madam. Then he compared the simple floral dress that Xiulan wore today. Though the floral dress is expensive as well, but the feel is very different.

The ex-fling saw Hongqi and immediately went to their side. She was haughtily walking and swaying her hips towards them.

”Hongqi. Nice to meet you here.” The ex-fling who is Zhou Yunru, greeted Hongqi and gave Hongqi a quick peck on the cheeks.

Hongqi wasn't able to dodge Yunru's provocative move. So he only glared at her.

Xiulan coughed raggedly because of the sudden appearance of Zhou Yunru and that red kiss mark on Hongqi's face. That move was really provocative and caught most the attention of some customers in the restaurant.

Seeing that kiss mark made Xiulan uncomfortable. It's not jealousy but she was embarrassed that she lets her husband get kissed like that.

”Oh! You must be Mrs. Xing. Nice to meet you.” Yunru moved her attention to Xiulan and gave a judging look over Xiulan's attire. Yunru sneered and put her attention back to Hongqi.

”Hongqi dear, I don't know if your taste in clothes became boorish or the wearer was just very bland.” Yunru boldly insinuated and sneered at Xiulan again before she left.

That moment suffocated Xiulan. ”Do I have to deal these haughty ex-lovers of this impudent man? I can't believe I also have to endure this.” Xiulan complained to her heart.

”Don't mind her. She just likes to seek attention.” Hongqi said and gave her a faint smile before he wipes the kiss mark on his cheeks.

”Do you want me to help you wipe it?” Xiulan suggested and was about to stand up but Hongqi stops her.

”My wife shouldn't wipe another woman's evidence publicly. I don't want to embarrass you. By wiping this publicly, it will make me look like I don't care about you.” Hongqi implied and continued wiping the kiss mark. It left redness on his face but it's better than seeing that kiss mark.

Xiulan doesn't understand if Hongqi's words have a hint of care or he was just saving his own face. Xiulan can't help but be dissatisfied with this.

So this will be the start of the tormenting life of Mrs. Xing that everyone coveted so much.

”Like what Marie Kondo said, it doesn't spark joy at all!” Xiulan secretly complained.
