"Mm," Lin Wan sniffed, nodded, and without minding the flour on her hands, closed the door and pulled Han Yi into the main room. "Why did you co back so late? Is everything finished over there?"
"Mm, it’s been over half a month since we finished. I went back to the team to report on the work, then hurried back overnight from the team." Han Yi placed his luggage on the coffee table, his eyes busy taking a quick look around their new ho.
Lin Wan, hearing that he ca back overnight from the team, realized that he walked back in the rain. Her husband went through a lot just to see her sooner.
"Quick, take off your clothes, I’ll boil so hot water for you to wash up," she said, seeing him drenched thoroughly. Unable to hold back her longing, she quickly went to the kitchen.
While Lin Wan was boiling the water, Han Yi took off his suit, leaving only big shorts on, and wandered around a few rooms and the backyard.
When Lin Wan ca out after adding water for him, she saw Han Yi shirtless, looking at the flowers in the corner of the wall. "Hurry, wash up, so you don’t catch a cold."
Lin Wan placed the basin where she had just bathed and turned into the room to find clothes for Han Yi. She already had everything prepared: underwear and pajamas of the sa color as her own.
Lin Wan had left these for him yesterday, just right for today.
"I put the clothes on the bed in the room for you," Lin Wan said, "I’ll go check on the pot in the kitchen."
Lin Wan’s hurried retreat made Han Yi chuckle a bit; wasn’t she saying she missed him so much, why was she suddenly acting coy?
When Han Yi finished dressing and entered the kitchen, Lin Wan’s first batch of buns was already done.
"Let handle it," Han Yi said as he entered the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves and gently pulling Lin Wan aside, skillfully beginning to wrap the buns himself.
"How did you know our place is here?... Did you go back to Grandma’s?" Lin Wan asked, undistracted, as she continued rolling the dough.
"Mm..." Han Yi nodded initially, then looked up at Lin Wan, putting down the wrapped buns he held to kiss her forehead. "Xiao Wan, I’m sorry you had to endure. Such things won’t happen again."
"I didn’t feel like I was suffering. This is quite nice. It’ll just be the two of us at ho from now on, quite comfortable," Lin Wan knew that Han Yi must have been angry upon hearing the news at Grandma’s place. She comforted him, "Don’t bla them, Brother Nan and his wife, they are just considering the children, and Brother’s wife and Saozi are sincerely regretful. Grandma also said she’s saved so money for you over the years intended to help you buy a house, over two thousand bucks, which she eventually gave to . I didn’t want to take it, but worried she’d feel guilty, I finally accepted it. However... I made a deposit book and saved it all over to her again. Grandma doesn’t even know how much is in there now."
"Xiao Wan, thank you," Han Yi had known from the mont he t Lin Wan that his Xiao Wan was the kindest. "Originally, I never planned to take Grandma’s money. We have money to buy a house ourselves. We don’t need hers. I just didn’t expect to move out so quickly. Luckily, I agreed to you buying a house, otherwise, how could I be at ease with you alone out there?"
"Mom and brother said they wanted to buy a house around New Year and asked Brother Congnan to keep an eye out. Who knew there’d be two houses for sale nearby, with a pretty nice environnt, so I thought about buying one, didn’t expect it’d co so handy so quickly. Do you think the house is okay?"
"It’s great. I really like it."
"That’s good then. I made the decision myself and was afraid you wouldn’t like it."
"Anything you buy, I like."
Lin Wan glanced at him shyly, "Smooth talker... Have you had dinner?"
"I did, but seeing these delicious buns makes a bit hungry again."
After walking such a long road, how could one not be hungry?
"Hurry, try it. It’s stuffed with sauerkraut, taught by Grandma."
Lin Wan stead a total of three batches. Han Yi just tasted one and finished one whole batch. The steel pot Lin Wan bought wasn’t that big, only holding five or six buns each batch. Lin Wan regretted not making more dough.
