Si Lijue complained, "You little ingrate, I just had a great time talking to you, and you're already turning your back on me so quickly."
You won't even do something as simple as feeding me some soup.
"If I ask you to give me a massage or serve me tea and water, wouldn't you be even less willing?"
"It's all your fault, and you still have the nerve to say that! You have hands and feet, you can do these little things yourself, why do you make me do them for you?"
I'm not your servant, much less your free nanny.
Su Niannian glared at him with shame and indignation, then turned her head away and ignored him. She was a little angry at his glib tongue and unreasonable demands.
Seeing that Su Niannian seemed genuinely angry, Si Lijue hurriedly explained, "Wife, you misunderstood me."
When I ask you to feed me soup, it's just a playful moment between husband and wife; it's not like I'm actually treating you like a servant.
Su Niannian felt that Si Lijue in front of her was a cunning fox, and she did not believe what he said, nor was she willing to fall for his tricks.
So she covered her ears and said, "I won't listen, I won't listen. No matter what you say, I won't feed you soup."
Seeing that Su Niannian was adamant and refused to comply with his proposal, Si Lijue had no choice but to compromise.
His tone softened slightly, and he said helplessly, "Fine! Since my wife won't feed me, I'll drink it myself." With that, he picked up the bowl in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing his soup, he casually placed the bowl on the table and praised, "It's so delicious! No wonder it's a loving soup made by my wife; it's simply wonderful!"
Su Niannian watched as he finished the soup in his bowl and felt inexplicably happy. She couldn't help but tease him, "Stop being so cheeky! You probably don't even know if this soup is sweet or salty, do you?"
Look at the way you drink your soup, it's exactly like Pigsy eating!
The happiest thing for a woman is watching the food she made herself being devoured by her beloved, who then keeps praising how delicious it is.
Si Lijue pretended to be angry, grabbed Su Niannian's hand, and moved closer to her, saying, "Wife, how dare you say I look like Zhu Bajie? I'm so handsome, how do I look like Zhu Bajie? Explain yourself."
As he spoke, he pulled Su Niannian into his arms, pinched her waist hard with his large hand, and was about to kiss her again.
"Ah! Si Lijue, you're so annoying!" Su Niannian was taken aback and couldn't help but gasp. Then, realizing his intention, she immediately reached out and covered his thin lips, preventing his scheme from succeeding.
At the same time, he didn't forget to change the subject: "There's still a lot of chicken soup left, would you like some more? I'll get you another bowl."
“I won’t drink it!” Si Lijue refused decisively, staring meaningfully into Su Niannian’s eyes, “I think you’re more delicious than the soup.”
Su Niannian had already given birth, so she naturally understood the implied meaning behind Si Lijue's words.
To hide her embarrassment and awkwardness, she made up a random excuse to send the man away.
"What's so delicious about me with my thick skin and tough flesh? Since you don't want to drink the soup, then go to the conference room now and continue signing the contract with the other party!"
You just left your partner behind and rushed back. They might think you lack sincerity, and if they have a problem with you, it could damage the cooperation between the two parties.
When Si Lijue saw the shy woman in his arms, he wished he could swallow her whole.
He didn't want to lose the chance to be alone with Su Niannian, and said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of! If there's no other partner, there are others. I'm the one who has to refuse others, not the other way around."
Besides, I have so many people working under me; they need to be put to good use!
The implication is that he has already delegated the task to his subordinates, and the cooperation cannot be avoided even without his presence.
Look how confidently he speaks! If he didn't have some capital and strength, he really wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
Su Niannian pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But... if you do this, won't people say that I'm interfering with your work?"
Si Lijue stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked the tip of her nose. His eyes held a hint of teasing and playful mockery as he chuckled, "Hehehe~ You little fool, what are you thinking about all day long?"
Do you still think I am a foolish and tyrannical king, and that you are a seductive concubine who bewitched me?
He gazed tenderly at the woman before him and continued, "Don't overthink things. Even if someone dares to talk about you behind your back, if I find out, I'll make them pack their things and get out of here immediately."
Honey, don't worry, I'll take care of everything.
I won't let you bear the grievances and pressure alone, and I certainly won't stand by and watch you be in the eye of the storm.
For him, protecting Su Niannian is more important than anything else; she has become an indispensable part of his life.
In fact, he did just that.
Just now, he punished those employees who slandered Su Niannian, and made them all pack their bags and leave!
Listening to his doting words, Su Niannian felt a sweet warmth in her heart and a sense of peace.
She nodded and said softly, "Yes! I know."
Si Lijue leaned down and whispered in her ear, "So, shouldn't we do something now?"
"Huh?" Su Niannian didn't react for a moment. She looked up at Si Lijue and her lips just happened to touch his.
When Si Lijue saw the woman in his arms kiss him, he naturally wouldn't let her go and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
...
In a cat poop café in the south of the city, Si Lili sat by the window, typing on her phone with her head down. A cup of fragrant coffee sat in front of her, giving the impression that she was waiting for someone, or perhaps enjoying this warm and cozy life.
A dazzling red Ferrari was parked on the street outside the coffee shop. Tang Shuo sat in the driver's seat, a lit cigarette dangling from his lips, his eyes fixed on the people inside the coffee shop.
Today is the third day of the cold war between Si Lili and Tang Shuo.
During these three days, no matter how Tang Shuo called or texted Si Lili, there was no response.
In an attempt to break the deadlock, Tang Shuo swallowed his pride and went to the Si family home and Si Lili's workplace to confront her, but Si Lili seemed to have anticipated this and avoided him.
Just thinking about the day Si Lili gave him two large suitcases, the words she said before leaving, and how this woman came to the coffee shop with another man behind his back today, made Tang Shuo so angry he wanted to kill someone.
Let's rewind to three days ago.
Si Lili dropped the box, drove off, and sped away.
Tang Shuo saw that she was inexplicably very angry and didn't know what he had done wrong to provoke her.
He was really worried about Si Lili leaving alone, and in a fit of anger, he moved the suitcase home and drove off to chase after her.
