Ni Sitian felt even more guilty, lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said, "I'm sorry."
Xu Tingchuan was quite happy, as Ni Sitian was finally speaking her true thoughts instead of just being polite all the time.
Even if these words are complaints, it is still a form of progress.
"Don't feel sorry, it's true that I didn't think it through properly," Xu Tingchuan said calmly.
Regarding what happened last night, the two of them each took a step back, and suddenly everything was fine.
"I'll make you breakfast." Ni Sitian stood up and hurried to the kitchen.
Xu Tingchuan followed her into the kitchen, and while she was baking bread, he started frying eggs.
Today is Monday. After having breakfast together, Ni Sitian needs to go to school, and Xu Tingchuan also needs to go to work.
The Maybach was towed away for repairs last night, so Xu Tingchuan had to drive a Land Rover, which he doesn't usually drive, today.
Ni Sitian quite likes Land Rover models; they're much more spacious and comfortable than sedans.
"You like it?" Xu Tingchuan noticed that after she got into the car, she curiously touched around.
“Hmm.” Ni Sitian nodded. After getting her driver’s license last year, she had flipped through car magazines, but she could only look at them. She was still a long way from saving up to buy a car.
Xu Tingchuan only asked this one question before starting the car.
Ni Sitian felt that Xu Tingchuan drove very steadily, just like his usual demeanor, which made her feel very safe. She had just passed her driving test, but she still didn't dare to drive on the road.
"Why is your phone constantly busy?" Xu Tingchuan recalled calling twice, once the day before yesterday and once yesterday, but no one answered.
"I lost the phone on the bus last Friday." Ni Sitian still felt a pang of regret when she mentioned it; that phone cost several thousand yuan.
"Then why didn't you buy anything these past two days?" Xu Tingchuan asked casually, looking straight ahead.
"I don't have enough money," Ni Sitian replied without thinking. Most of her money was in a fixed deposit account, which was due in two months, so she couldn't bear to lose the interest and couldn't withdraw it now.
The remaining small portion of her savings was used for living expenses and household daily expenses. Normally, it would have been more than enough for her alone, but Xu Tingchuan was used to imported daily necessities, and the daily expenses were higher than she had expected, so she was a little short of money.
Xu Tingchuan braked at the traffic light, his brow furrowing slightly. He wondered if he had misheard. Was his wife telling him that she didn't even have money to buy a cell phone?
He remembered that at the beginning of their marriage, he gave her a cash card with 200,000 yuan already on it. Later, he instructed his secretary to deposit money into the card every month.
The money was used for both her living expenses and the daily expenses of the household, so the amount he transferred was not small. Ni Sitian didn't seem like a woman who would spend money recklessly, so how could she not have enough money? Could it be that the secretary made a mistake with the amount?
"It's inconvenient not having a cell phone, I'll go buy one today." Xu Tingchuan planned to ask his secretary when he got to work later.
"Oh." Ni Sitian was mentally calculating how much money she had left. Now that she had bought a phone, would it be enough to last until she received her royalties in the middle of the month?
Both of them had their own thoughts, and the car quickly arrived at the school gate.
"Drive carefully." Ni Sitian got out of the car and waved to Xu Tingchuan.
Xu Tingchuan watched her enter the school gate, then restarted the car and drove back into the traffic.
Upon arriving at the company, Xu Tingchuan summoned Secretary Xue, who was in charge of transferring money to Ni Sitian, for questioning.
Secretary Xue printed out the account details for him and respectfully said, "As you instructed, 100,000 yuan will be transferred to this account every month."
Xu Tingchuan picked up the account statement and looked at it. When he saw the total amount of deposits, his brows furrowed.
It's been three months since Ni Sitian married him, and he still has a balance of 500,000 yuan!
In other words, Ni Sitian didn't touch a single penny of this money!
So, all the household expenses during this period were paid for by her?
Xu Tingchuan's chauvinistic tendencies made it hard for him to accept that his wife had been supporting him for the past three months, and his face darkened.
