Chapter 158 Efforts in the Wrong Direction
When Su Mi woke up, he felt warm all over and was wrapped in warmth, and light was shining into the room.
She opened her eyes slightly and saw the man's chest. She was being held by a strong arm and her head was resting in his arms.
Her brain jumped for a moment, and then she reacted quickly, and she bounced far away like a spring.
She was surprised to see Xiao Xuanjin come back. She was so asleep that she had no idea when he came back.
And how did she end up in his arms again?
That's right, she didn't tie herself up because she thought he wouldn't come back yesterday.
He looked like he was sleeping soundly, his dark eyelashes drooping, casting a shadow, as if he was very tired and didn't get enough rest.
He must be tired from traveling on business.
She stepped out of bed and walked on tiptoe, afraid of disturbing him.
After cleaning up, I went downstairs to the kitchen on the first floor. I wanted to make something, but then I found that the servants had already prepared breakfast.
Mia saw her coming down and asked enthusiastically, "Madam, do you want to have breakfast now?"
"Don't worry, I'll wait for him."
"good."
Su Mi thought about it and made him a cup of black coffee herself. Fortunately, she had some research on coffee making before, so she got the hang of it quickly.
After working for a while, she was quite satisfied with the results.
Just at this time, Xiao Xuanjin came down. He was wearing very casual home clothes, a black knitted round-necked long shirt and a pair of loose white trousers. He had his hands in his pockets and walked in a relaxed and casual manner.
He came over and sat down aside, and the servant immediately began to serve the meal.
He leaned back, glanced at her, and tapped the table with his fingers, asking her to come over.
Su Mi picked up the coffee she had just made and placed it in front of him like a treasure. "I made it myself. I wonder if you like it."
Xiao Xuanjin looked down and saw the conspicuous Band-Aid on her hand, and glanced at the black coffee in the white porcelain cup.
The voice slowed down, "Did you put your hand in the coffee machine?"
After hearing this, Su Mi instinctively retracted her fingers and said, "No, I did it accidentally."
Xiao Xuanjin didn't ask any more questions, "Let's eat."
"Um."
Su Mi sat opposite him, and the two of them ate in silence. What was rare was that this was the first time they had sat together to have breakfast since their marriage.
During this time, Su Mi kept checking to see if Xiao Xuanjin had touched the cup of coffee.
Fortunately, he didn't refuse and drank it anyway, so there was nothing left.
Seeing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Jason came to find Xiao Xuanjin, seemingly having something important to discuss, and they went into the study.
Su Mi took out the tablet again and found a few cooking videos to learn from.
She thought about it and realized that cooking was too difficult. She couldn't control the heat, and cutting vegetables was also difficult.
So, she decided to learn how to make soup or porridge first.
She asked Mia to teach her personally, and she was busy all day long.
Xiao Xuanjin and the others were still in a video conference and hadn't come downstairs all day, so they had someone deliver their lunch.
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Mi looked at the fruits of his labor and prepared to serve them to him.
Just as I reached the door of the study, it opened from the inside.
Jason came out with a thick stack of folders. Seeing her, he said respectfully, "Young Madam."
"Well, are you leaving?"
"Yes, it's almost all dealt with."
"Would you like to stay and have something to eat? I happened to have a lot."
Jason took a look at the seafood soup she was holding. It contained shrimp, clams, mussels, etc. It was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it.
This was prepared for the president, so he didn't dare to be greedy. "No, Madam, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Jason nodded at her and left.
Xiao Xuanjin inside naturally heard their conversation and looked towards the door.
As soon as Jason left, Su Mi glanced inside and saw Xiao Xuanjin looking at her.
The study is decorated in golden tones, which is very eye-catching. Rows of bookshelves are filled with various books and works.
There was a lot of space inside, and Xiao Xuanjin sat on the European-style leather sofa by the window. The sofa was huge and solemn, like a throne, full of majesty.
He still had a cigarette in his hand and looked at her with a squinting eye.
Since she wasn't told not to go in, Su Mi brought the things in directly.
After all, the soup in my hand is quite heavy.
She walked over and placed the tray on the coffee table in front of him. Because of the movement of bending over, her collar slipped down slightly, but she was completely unaware. "I made it myself, try it."
Xiao Xuanjin's eyes flickered between her and the soup. He bit his cigarette and took a deep drag, then crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said slowly, "You're quite capable. Can you cook now?"
Su Mi thought he was doubting her cooking skills, "I tried it, it's edible."
Xiao Xuanjin raised his eyelids to look at her. She was wearing a black knitted long skirt with a V-neck design. Her collarbone was faintly visible. It was very slim-fitting and made her figure look more vivid.
However, he glanced at her hand and saw that she had new injuries today, as if she had been burned.
The princess of the Su family has been spoiled since she was a child and has never been to a kitchen. Looking back, she didn't even know what a pot was.
In order to make it up to him, she was willing to step into the kitchen and cook for him.
And I do all this just to leave him without any burden in the future.
Looking at the rich soup and then at the scars remaining on her round, pale pink fingers, Xiao Xuanjin took a deep breath and felt a little uncomfortable in his chest.
"Come and feed me."
"oh."
She is really well-behaved now and has no temper at all.
She filled a small bowl with soup, sat next to him, scooped some soup, and brought it to his mouth.
Xiao Xuanjin looked at her thin eyebrows, charming almond eyes, and small oval face. Even without makeup, her facial features were still extremely beautiful.
Following her movements, he drank the soup. The first thing he tasted was the delicious broth, which was rich in flavor but still retained the original freshness and fragrance of the seafood.
To be able to achieve this level shows how much effort she put in.
Seeing that he had no reaction after drinking it, she was a little worried, "How does it taste?"
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her and curled his lips, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Of course, if you think something is wrong, I can improve it."
Xiao Xuanjin took the bowl from her hand, drank it in one gulp, and then put the bowl on the table. "The truth is, keep up the good work."
This is dissatisfaction, Su Mi lowered his head, "Oh."
He lifted his chin and said, "I feel wronged now."
"No, I will try my best."
Xiao Xuanjin ran his fingers down his chin, "Wife, are you working in the wrong direction?"
It took Su Mi a while to come back to her senses after his sudden intimacy.
Su Mi didn't understand what he meant, but his fingers had already touched her collarbone, rubbing it maliciously, as if hinting at something, "You..."
"Isn't this kind of compensation more direct?" His fingers moved all the way down to her collar, and tended to go further down.
