Chapter 158 Efforts in the Wrong Direction
When Su Mi woke up, she felt warm and wrapped in warmth, and there was light coming into the room.
Her eyes slightly opened, and what she saw was the man's chest. She was being embraced by a strong arm, and her head was resting in his arms.
Her brain jumped for a moment, then reacted quickly, and she bounced a long way like a spring.
She was surprised to see Xiao Xuanjin coming 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 didn’t come back yesterday.
He seemed to be sleeping very soundly, with his dark eyelashes drooping, casting a shadow, as if he was very tired and did not get enough rest.
He must be tired from traveling on business.
She quickly got 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 breakfast servant had already prepared everything.
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 and 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-neck shirt and a pair of white loose trousers. He put his hands in his pockets and walked in a lazy and casual manner.
He came over and sat down, and the servant immediately started serving 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 he had just made, and then 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 ink-black coffee in the white porcelain cup.
The voice was low and slow, "Did you put your hand in the coffee machine?"
After hearing this, Su Mi instinctively retracted his 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 eat breakfast after their marriage.
During this time, Su Mi kept paying attention to whether Xiao Xuanjin 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 his tablet again and found a few cooking videos to learn from.
She thought about it and decided that cooking was too difficult as she couldn't control the heat, and cutting vegetables was also somewhat difficult.
So, she decided to learn how to make soup or porridge first.
She asked Mia to teach her personally, and this lesson kept her busy the whole day.
Xiao Xuanjin and his friends were still in a video conference and hadn't come downstairs all day, so they had someone deliver lunch to them.
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Mi looked at the fruits of his labor and prepared to serve them to him.
As I reached the door of the study, it opened from the inside.
Jason came out with a thick folder and greeted her 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 just made a lot."
Jason took a look at the Italian seafood soup in her hand. There were shrimps, clams, mussels, etc. in it. It was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it.
This was prepared for the president, and he dared not be greedy. "No, Madam, I have something else to do. I will 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 large and majestic, like a throne, and very majestic.
He still had a cigarette burning in his hand and glanced at her.
Since she wasn't forbidden to enter, Su Mi directly brought the things in.
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. As she bent over, her collar slipped down slightly, but she didn't notice it. "I made it myself. Try it."
Xiao Xuanjin's eyes moved back and forth between her and Tang. He bit his cigarette and took a deep breath, then crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said slowly, "You are 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 hands and found that she had new wounds today, as if she had been burned.
The princess of the Su family had been spoiled since she was a child and had never been to a kitchen. Back then, she didn't even know how to use a pot.
In order to compensate him, she was now willing to step into the kitchen and cook soup for him.
And I did all this just to leave him without any burden in the future.
Looking at the thick soup and then at the scars left on her round, 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.
I filled a small bowl with soup, sat next to him, scooped some soup, and then brought it to his mouth.
Xiao Xuanjin looked at her fine eyebrows, charming almond-shaped eyes, and small oval face. Even without makeup, her facial features were still extremely beautiful.
Following her movements, he drank the soup. It was a delicious broth with a rich flavor but still retaining the original freshness of 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 there's something 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 drinking."
This is dissatisfaction. Su Mi lowered his head and said, "Oh."
He raised his chin and said, "This is unfair."
"No, I will try my best."
Xiao Xuanjin put his finger down along 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 to her, "You..."
"Isn't this a more direct form of compensation?" His fingers moved all the way down to her collar, and were still moving downwards.
