His sudden display of affection caught her by surprise.
“I love you…” She did not know how to react as he used his heavy head to rub against her shoulder again and again. His voice gradually turned hoarse during his repeated confession.
Blushing, she chided him lovingly. “We are not a young couple anymore. How mushy!”
“What about you?” he asked hesitantly, his eyes sparkling with hope and desire for an affirmative answer from her.
“Let’s have dinner now,” she replied as she pursed her lips.
He was not going to let her go. Hugging her close to him, he pressed her for an answer. “Hey, tell me. What about you?”
“What about me?”
He had a meaningful look in his eyes when he said, “What do you want to say to me?”
“Let’s have dinner now.”
He was really adamant to hear her confirmation this time and continued to bind her wrist with his palm. She was not going anywhere!
Seeing that he had her cornered, she stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his glabella. “I love you…”
The man could not contain his bubbling joy in that instant. “What? What did you say?”
“Well, it’s passed if you missed it,” she replied while chuckling.
“Say it one more time!”
Left with no choice, she hugged his shoulders and mumbled into his ear, “Ye Erruo loves her hubby, Mo Jiangye. Let’s go have dinner now. I’m famished!” She curled her lips into a smile and pulled him downstairs by his arm.
That rendered him speechless. He was in an apparent daze, as though he was a retard, while she led him down the stairs to the dining table.
“What do you prefer: chicken soup or pork rib soup?” she asked him, poised with the soup spoon between her fingers as she studied the feast on the table in front of them.
His gaze fell on her. Right now, he only wanted to eat her.
“I’m asking you, which soup do you prefer?”
“I’m good with anything.”
Resigned, she decided to scoop two bowls of chicken broth for them. After putting one bowl before him, she took the other bowl and started to drink from it.
His eyes never left her as he finished his bowl of soup within two to three mouthfuls. He then pushed his empty bowl to her, indicating that he wanted more.
Although she was baffled, she did what he wished.
The man finished countless bowls of soup that night!
By the time she managed to flip open her phone later at night, she had dozens of missed calls from Yao Tiao, Ji Sichen, and even Xu Xu.
The first person she chose to call back was Xu Xu.
“Hello, is that little sister-in-law? Why did you switch off your phone?”
“It ran out of battery.”
“Oh, I see. By the way, I’ve delivered the goods as you instructed. The receiver was a businessman with the surname ‘Lin’ but he did not appear to be the one you had described to me.”
“Alright.” She knew that Lin Jingxuan was badly hurt and was still recuperating, so it was highly unlikely that he would collect the goods personally even though he really wanted the stuff.
“Where’s our chief?”
“Eh? He’s here. What do you want to tell him?” She was surprised to hear him ask for the man. Still, she brought the phone to his ear after turning on the speaker mode.
“Nothing much. I just want to know why Hei Qiang was dispatched back…”
The woman furrowed her brows. Hei Qiang? We just chatted over the phone, right?
Then, a sudden realization hit her with a start! Her man had overheard his henchman’s plaints.
Mo Jiangye retorted frostily, “Do you want to keep him pany? Do you want to go there too? Then you can pack your stuff and join him tomorrow.”
“What? Boss, what did you say? I didn’t catch that. The connection is bad over here. Sister-in-law, I have to go now. I’ll talk to you later.”
Then, the phone went dead after two loud beeps.
She put her phone away. Holding him by the arm, she asked as they continued their stroll, “Where’s Hei Qiang?”
“He has to attend to some business on the other side.”
“I see.”
Just as they were about to leave the place after reaching the gate, a delivery man with a big bouquet of flowers walked toward her.
“Hey… Are you working in this estate? Can you pass this bouquet of flowers to someone named Miss Ye Erruo? If not, can you ask her to e over, please?”
