After accepting this fact, Ni Sitian adjusted quite quickly.
After washing up, I calmed down and prepared to make breakfast, but when I opened the refrigerator, I found that there was nothing there.
So I changed my shoes and planned to go out to buy some.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tingchuan opened the door from the outside and came in.
"Um, aren't you catching up on sleep?" Ni Sitian was a little surprised. She thought he was sleeping. When did he go out?
Xu Tingchuan didn't say anything, and carried the things he was carrying to the dining table.
Looking at the sumptuous breakfast, Ni Sitian smiled and said, "Go out and buy breakfast."
"Come and eat," Xu Tingchuan said, setting the food out.
Ni Sitian walked over, sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and first took a soup dumpling. She blew on it, put it in her mouth, and the plump, tender juice immediately overflowed, filling her mouth with fragrance.
"These soup dumplings taste just like Li Ji's." She raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.
"It's not just similar, this is Li's." Seeing that she liked it, Xu Tingchuan gave her his as well.
"Thank you." Ni Sitian felt that Xu Tingchuan seemed particularly considerate today, so she gave him a bright smile, then picked up a soup dumpling, blew on it, and casually asked, "Isn't Li Ji's usually a queue of more than an hour? How come you got it so quickly today?"
She remembered that she and Zhilan used to get up at six o'clock to queue up. The food was indeed delicious, but queuing up was really tiring, so she never ate there again.
"There is a queue, but I gave the person at the front of the line 500 yuan to switch places," Xu Tingchuan said casually.
Ni Sitian choked on the soup dumpling she had just put in her mouth, coughed violently for a while, and stared at Xu Tingchuan with wide eyes, incredulous: "You...you mean you spent five hundred yuan on these soup dumplings?!"
"To be precise, it's five hundred and fifty yuan. The soup dumplings also cost money."
“…” Ni Sitian was completely bewildered. The soup dumpling she had just choked on was worth fifty-five yuan. Could she pick it up and eat it now?
Ni Sitian watched silently. Before she could make a move, Xu Tingchuan had already taken a tissue, wrapped it up, removed it from the table, and thrown it into the trash can.
"Fifty-five yuan!" Ni Sitian's mouth dropped open; it was too late to stop her.
She turned around, glared at Xu Tingchuan, and said seriously, "I think we need to have a serious talk."
Xu Tingchuan looked at her, gesturing for her to speak.
Ni Sitian pursed her lips and said, "Since we are husband and wife, we will be living together for the rest of our lives, so it's best to communicate some of our views and reach a certain level of consensus. Do you think I'm right?"
"Yes." Xu Tingchuan nodded in affirmation.
"First of all, it's about your attitude towards money. I know you're financially well-off and very capable of making money, but you're too extravagant with your spending. For example, the takeout you ordered before, and these soup dumplings today—it's unnecessary to spend so much money on those." Actually, she wanted to bring up the fact that she booked the whole place yesterday, but that was a romantic memory, so she would forgive him for his wasteful spending.
"You want to take control of the family finances?" Xu Tingchuan raised an eyebrow.
“That’s not what I meant.” Ni Sitian sighed, rubbing her forehead.
“It’s only right that you take charge; it’s true that I didn’t consider that.” Xu Tingchuan stood up, walked to the bedroom, took out a yellow paper bag, and pushed it in front of Ni Sitian.
Ni Sitian was puzzled, but he said calmly, "These are my savings, funds, and some real estate."
“Uh…” She was speechless, feeling that he did not understand her meaning, so she said, “I don’t want to control your money. I just think that it is not easy for you to earn money. You often work overtime and travel for business. If you work so hard to earn money just to waste it like this, you might as well spend more time resting at home.”
Xu Tingchuan nodded knowingly, and Ni Sitian smiled with satisfaction when she saw that he understood.
Unexpectedly, his next sentence was: "You're complaining that I don't spend enough time at home with you."
Ni Sitian spat out a mouthful of saliva and let out a long howl, unable to communicate with him smoothly anymore!
