Ni Sitian racked her brains, pondered for a while, and tentatively said, "I should be more careful when I walk."

Xu Tingchuan looked at her expressionlessly.

Ni Sitian knew that this wasn't the answer he wanted, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I should call you to come pick me up."

Xu Tingchuan still didn't react, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say again, "I shouldn't have bought that steamed dumpling."

Xu Tingchuan's eyebrows twitched, and his clear, questioning voice asked, "What is a steamed dumpling?"

"It's the limited-edition crystal steamed dumplings from the Grand Hotel. I remember you like them, so I packed a batch to bring back for you as a late-night snack. But my bag got stolen, so I chased after it..."

Ni Sitian spoke in a flat tone, but before she could finish her sentence, Xu Tingchuan pulled her into a tight embrace.

"You chased after the purse snatcher so desperately just for those steamed dumplings?" Xu Tingchuan's voice trembled slightly.

Ni Sitian felt that her reason was a bit silly, so she added, "Of course, it's not entirely that; I also have my wallet in my bag."

However, since it was agreed that Xiang Zhilan would treat her today, she only had a few hundred yuan in her bag and didn't bring her ID or cards.

All things considered, the steamed dumplings are still the most important.

"Fool, it's just a serving of steamed dumplings. It won't matter if I don't get to eat them. Why be so stupid?" Xu Tingchuan never imagined that this incident would be a bloody tragedy caused by a serving of steamed dumplings.

"I just wanted to treat your stomach well since you've been working so hard lately." Ni Sitian heard that he sounded touched, so she seized the opportunity and accused him with a wronged tone: "It's all for you, and you still hit me."

Xu Tingchuan felt a pang of tenderness in his heart because of the steamed dumplings, but he hadn't forgotten how dangerous her actions had been. So he let go of her and looked at her earnestly, saying, "Don't do such foolish things again."

Seeing that he wouldn't spank her anymore, Ni Sitian nodded obediently.

"And when did you get your driver's license? I didn't know that." He was surprised that his wife had a driver's license, and this lack of knowledge made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?" Ni Sitian looked innocent. "I took the exam at the end of the year before last, it's been over a year now."

"You took the exam over a year ago and haven't had any practical experience, yet you still dare to drive!" Xu Tingchuan slapped her butt again.

Ni Sitian covered her bottom and tried to escape, but was caught by being grabbed around the waist and brought back. She begged for mercy repeatedly, "I won't do it again, I won't do it again..."

"Tell me again what else you did wrong," Xu Tingchuan said, not letting her off the hook.

Ni Sitian's mind cleared up after being hit, and she hurriedly said, "I should have notified you immediately after it happened!"

Xu Tingchuan was somewhat satisfied then. He rubbed her bottom and said in a low voice, "Now that you know you made a mistake, don't repeat it next time. Don't be a habitual offender."

"Oh," Ni Sitian responded, burying her head in Xu Tingchuan's arms and whining, "Rub it gently, it hurts."

Xu Tingchuan smiled helplessly and gently massaged her.

Ni Sitian rested her head on his chest, slowly closed her eyes, and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly heard Xu Tingchuan say, "What about the steamed dumplings? I'm hungry, I want to eat them now."

“Uh…” Ni Sitian came to her senses, lifted her head from his arms, scratched her head, and said a little embarrassedly, “Jiang Yun ate it.”

Xu Tingchuan frowned, and Ni Sitian quickly explained, "He was injured while catching that thief, so it wouldn't be right to let him go to the hospital hungry."

“That makes sense.” Xu Tingchuan raised an eyebrow, indicating his understanding.

"Then I'll go cook you some noodles."

Ni Sitian tried to get off his lap, but was suddenly picked up horizontally.

Xu Tingchuan kissed her cheek, a smile playing on his lips as he chuckled softly, "I want to eat you now."
