Lei Ting teased An Ning, especially with a few lines in Fengtian dialect, which made An Ning laugh heartily. When An Ning was in Fengtian, he enjoyed watching comedy sketches and could even perform stand-up comedy himself. Lei Ting thought that if An Ning still wanted to perform stand-up comedy now, he would be An Ning's straight man.
An Ning: "Haha, my stomach hurts from laughing so much, Lei Ting, don't try to make me laugh..."
Lei Ting: "Hehe, you really enjoy watching these comedy sketches when you're at home. When we get home, we'll invite the King of Comedy Sketches over to make you laugh."
An Ning: "Okay, you really spoil me!"
Lei Ting: "You are my wife. If I don't spoil you, who will? I will make up for all the past wrongs and make you the most enviable wealthy wife in all of Fengtian."
An Ning: "Hehe."
Lei Ting's cheesy pickup lines were catchy, but An Ning felt awkward hearing the words "wealthy family." Although Lei Ting exuded nobility, he was too bold in his dealings with others and spoke in a down-to-earth manner, unlike the wealthy young men around An Ning. How to describe Lei Ting? A rich young master from a wealthy family would be more fitting.
Thunder: "Anning, I'll take you to a place where you can pay without a membership. Let's buy a few burgers and take them home to eat."
Anning: "Haha, the burger joint now has a membership system and gives out points!"
Thunder: "What? I might as well just buy the burger joint. This is too much trouble!"
An Ning: "Haha, let's go..."
During the two years Anning lived with the Lei family, the Lei family never mistreated her financially. Although Anning was a housewife, her grandmother often gave her pocket money, and Lei Ting also gave her all his money. If Lei Ting hadn't caused trouble, they would have lived peacefully together for the rest of their lives.
A long line formed in front of the hamburger shop. Anning pulled Leiting along, and Leiting protected Anning as they stood in the line.
Thunder: "This scene is so familiar. There are still so many people here."
An Ning: "You've been here before?"
Thunder: "I've been here before. Back when we were dating at New York University, we were out on a date and it got late. When we got back to the dorm, you said you were a little hungry, so I came here to queue up and buy you a hamburger. I took it back with me."
An Ning: "Then what am I doing..."
Thunder: "You went over there to buy coffee. Now the coffee shop has turned into a flower shop. Honey, wait a minute, I'll go buy you a bouquet of flowers."
An Ning: "Okay."
Lei Ting gestured to his bodyguards to look after An Ning. The bodyguards nodded, and An Ning joined the queue, waiting for Lei Ting.
Lei Ting went to the flower shop and bought the most expensive roses. He didn't know their names, so he could only buy the most expensive and beautiful ones. When the florist was wrapping the flowers, he decorated the surface with a few jasmine flowers, which Lei Ting immediately stopped.
Lei Ting: "Wait, throw away the jasmine flowers. You're not allowed to have any jasmine flowers. I don't want this bouquet anymore. Get new ones and repackage them. They have to be new. Not a single jasmine flower is allowed on them."
Lei Ting spoke forcefully, so the florist had no choice but to follow his instructions. She took new roses, wrapped them up, and decorated them with nothing else but the vibrant, fresh roses. Only then was Lei Ting satisfied. Holding the roses, Lei Ting walked towards An Ning. Some girls in the group pointed at Lei Ting, saying, "This handsome guy is such a gentleman." He smiled and presented the roses to An Ning, who accepted them and exclaimed, "They smell so good!"
Thunder: "Do you like it?"
An Ning: "Yes, I like it."
Just as Thunder was about to join the queue, the people behind him began to criticize him.
Foreigner: "Why don't you line up? Line up!"
Thunder: "I was in line just now..."
Anning: "Let's go, let's go to the back and line up again, hehe, Leiting, you're so cute!"
Thunder: "Hehe, starting from scratch, I like it."
Lei Ting put his arm around An Ning's waist, and the two joined the back of the line. In front of them were younger students wearing New York University badges, holding hamburgers, getting on the bus, and heading towards New York University. An Ning thought that she lived in the dormitory when she was in college, and Lei Ting also lived in the dormitory. When had the two of them been intimate? The more An Ning thought about it, the more she wanted to ask. Then she looked at Lei Ting and asked him shyly.
An Ning: "Lei Ting... I lived in the dormitory when I was in college. When did we... start having marital relations?"
Lei Ting: "The day we got our marriage certificate! It was in China, at home, in the new house my parents bought. You put the marriage certificate away, looking at me with a shy expression. You're a wonderful girl, and I didn't cherish you..."
Anning: "I knew it! I couldn't accept that before marriage."
Lei Ting: "Let's not talk about that. That waiter was too stupid. The fabric of this outfit alone costs tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention the craftsmanship. There's really no one here who appreciates me except you."
An Ning: "What's so good about this material? Is it really that expensive?"
Anning touched the fabric of Lei Ting's Zhongshan suit, examining it closely. The buttons were exquisitely crafted; each one was a gold dragon-patterned button, densely sewn onto the garment with thin silver thread. The fabric, though soft, draped beautifully and felt incredibly comfortable against the skin. No wonder Lei Ting exuded an air of nobility; the fabric was infused with silver threads, giving the black fabric a shimmering sheen. Anning blinked her large, curious eyes and asked Lei Ting about the fabric's unusual nature. Lei Ting slowly explained it to her.
Lei Ting: "Our family has a silkworm breeding base. The silk spun by natural silkworms is spun into thread by hand. The fabric is dyed with plant-based formulas, without any harmful chemicals. If this piece of fabric were taken to the market, it would be worth at least 50,000 yuan. There's also the craftsmanship. The patterns on it all have symbolic meanings and can protect people and bring peace. The tailoring is done by traditional artisans. There are very few people in Fengtian who know the techniques of embossing and silk quilting. Every piece of clothing I wear has this dragon pattern. My grandmother said it symbolizes honor and can bring good fortune and ward off disasters."
