Anning: "Eat slowly."
Thunder: "I'm so happy... The bread my wife bakes for me is the best in the world."
An Ning: "What wife..."
Anning lowered her head shyly. Leiting lifted her head, but Anning pushed him away, saying he was too frivolous.
Anning: "Don't do that, eat quickly, then rest a bit."
Thunder: "Yeah, I loved how you looked yesterday. You have to be like that from now on. Don't let anyone bully you."
An Ning: "Yeah, it's good that you're not afraid of me."
Thunder: "My peace is my peace no matter what it is. I like it all."
Anning: "But those two kicks you gave her yesterday made her vomit blood..."
Thunder: "She deserves to be taught a lesson. Let's not talk about her anymore. I'll take you to see the surprise I've prepared for you."
An Ning: "Okay."
Thunder: "Baby, blindfold yourself. I'll carry you."
An Ning: "Hehe, how mysterious."
Lei Ting took out a silk scarf and blindfolded An Ning, then picked her up. The feeling of being held in the dark was wonderful. With this embrace, An Ning was no longer afraid of the dark. Lei Ting whetted An Ning's appetite, making her eagerly anticipate what surprise awaited her.
Lei Ting carried An Ning into the house. As soon as they reached the living room, An Ning smelled a refreshing floral fragrance. Lei Ting gently set An Ning down and untied the silk scarf behind her ear. An Ning opened her eyes and saw a portrait of herself before her. In the large frame, rose petals reflected her image through shadows. After a night, the rose petals unfurled, making An Ning's appearance even more radiant.
The entire house was filled with roses. Everywhere you could see were roses and petals—on the floor, on the sofa, in the hallway, on the second floor—wherever you could see, there were roses. It was as natural as if a house had been built in a rose garden. Leiting had put a lot of thought into every scene. Anning was immersed in a sea of flowers, and it smelled wonderful.
Anning: "You're so thoughtful... I really like it."
Thunder: "If you like it, that's good..."
Anning walked up, her feet sinking into the cool rose petals on the floor. Her hands touched the roses; they were so gentle, without a single thorn.
Anning: "Thunder... how did you deal with the thorns on the rose? A rose without thorns is so gentle."
Thunder: "I've removed all the thorns."
Anning: "Let me see... if your hands are injured. If they are, there are wounds here and here. Does it hurt? Why aren't you wearing gloves?"
Thunder: "The sentiment is gone if you put on gloves."
Anning: "Don't do anything to hurt yourself in the future. I really like today's arrangement."
Thunder: "That's not all, there's more. Come and see here."
Lei Ting pulled An Ning over and slowly opened a room filled with clothes and jewelry. The most dazzling item was a white gauze cheongsam made of green silk, with a pearl collar on the shoulder, which attracted An Ning to step forward and touch it.
Anning: "So beautiful...hehe..."
Thunder: "The idea for these pearl decorations came from Allen and me. They're strung together with platinum thread so that you'll look sparkly and dazzling when you wear them. They won't lose their radiance."
An Ning: "I really like it, thank you Thunder..."
Thunder: "Actually, I have another surprise, but I'm not ready yet. Give me one more day, and I'll show it to you tomorrow, okay?"
An Ning: "Okay..."
Lei Ting: "An Ning, you'll look absolutely stunning in this cheongsam. Can you put it on now?"
An Ning: "Hmm..."
Thunder: "I'll help you..."
Anning: "No, you go out...we'll see after I change..."
Thunder: "We're husband and wife..."
Anning: "Not yet... Leiting, go take a shower and relax, I'll change and show you..."
Thunder: "Okay..."
Lei Ting closed the door behind him as he left. An Ning loved the cheongsam; the pearls on it were all from Allen's studio's treasured collection, selected from the finest pieces. Allen personally designed the dangling pearls, and Lei Ting personally handcrafted them, thread by thread, rushing to finish them the day before An Ning's return. Lei Ting turned on the tap and rinsed himself, his body filled with An Ning's fragrance—this was the feeling, this was the feeling Lei Ting truly desired. The sound of running water filled Lei Ting's heart. After showering and changing into his new clothes, he felt he looked much more handsome in the mirror. He went to the door to wait for An Ning to come out.
An Ning quickly changed into the cheongsam, which fit her perfectly. Looking in the mirror, she felt she could change her hairstyle. Among the jewelry was a peach wood meteor hairpin; An Ning loved the meteor design. Picking it up, she skillfully styled her hair, letting down her wispy bangs. The gentle and virtuous woman in the mirror was exactly how she looked in the photo from six months ago. If she spoke softly, she would be exactly the same as she was six months ago. Han Yi's coy and manipulative tactics were very effective. An Ning scoffed; she was determined to keep Lei Ting under her thumb.
Lei Ting waited outside, remembering how Jasmine had encountered them by the Thames River the day before, and something felt off. He called Guo Fan.
Lei Ting: "Guo Fan, why was Jasmine able to run into An Ning and me by the Tam River yesterday?"
Guo Fan: "Mr. Lei, Jasmine pretended to be sick. On the way to the hospital, she ran away. It was a coincidence that she ran into you. Now they don't know Jasmine's whereabouts."
Thunder: "That's good. Has Jasmine arrived in the Land of Deep Colors?"
Guo Fan: "She's still in Niujin, but don't worry, Mr. Lei, I've instructed your bodyguards to keep a close watch on Jasmine and make sure she doesn't get close to you and Mr. An. Her movements will be reported to me by the bodyguards."
Thunder: "Damn it, we can't get rid of this madman. Keep a close eye on him and don't let them contact Jasmine again and do anything to harm Anning."
Guo Fan: "Yes, we will definitely keep a close eye on it."
