Watching her graceful figure disappear into the distance, Li Hanting stopped what he was doing, a smile spreading across his face, even his eyes were filled with laughter.
Leaning against the door, Su Jingjing patted her chest, took a deep breath, and slowly eased the embarrassment in her heart.
Just as she was about to take a shower, she suddenly noticed a serious problem: she hadn't changed her clothes.
Frowning, she had no choice but to open the door and peek out to look for the man.
The next second, they discovered that the man had taken off his shirt at some point, leaving him with only a pair of loose-fitting pants.
Looking at the unobstructed beauty before her, Su Jingjing swallowed hard.
So sexy! She has such a great figure, it's breathtaking.
The man's upper body was muscular and without any excess, with eight-pack abs neatly arranged, exuding sexual tension.
Su Jingjing was momentarily stunned, her eyes fixed on the man's handsome and upright figure.
At this moment, she hesitated. Before, she thought she would leave once her two children were on the right track, and men were not even in her consideration. But now that her husband was so handsome, it was hard not to be tempted. Should she try to win him over?
After all, even if she gets divorced, she still has to live in the 1980s, and she may not necessarily meet such an outstanding man in the future.
"What are you looking for?"
In an instant, the man's deep voice pulled her back to reality.
Su Jingjing paused for a moment, then instantly realized what was happening. Meeting the man's deep eyes, she felt an incomparable sense of wonder.
"Ah...I..."
What was she going to do again?
A sudden thought struck him, but he pretended to remain calm and continued, "I'm looking for a change of clothes."
Li Hanting didn't expose her lie. He handed her the clothes in his hand, his Adam's apple bobbing as he slowly said, "Here's a new nightgown. Take it and change into it."
Since the original owner moved out of the Li family, she almost never came back to spend the night, so naturally there were no clean clothes for her at home.
Su Jingjing said "Oh" and reached out to take it. She accidentally touched the man's hand, and a strange feeling immediately flowed through her heart.
He said thank you and quickly closed the door.
Ugh, this is killing me.
But thinking about it, Li Hanting really doesn't have any flaws. He comes from a good family, is handsome, and is very capable. He is a high-quality soulmate.
The two people, separated by only one door, felt as if their hearts had been bumped.
After taking a shower, Su Jingjing lingered in the bathroom for a long time, even checking her clothes to make sure they were in order, afraid that the man would misunderstand.
Looking at her blushing face in the mirror, she quickly patted her cheeks to dissipate the heat.
Su Jingjing, don't overthink it. Who would have designs on you? After all, you're overweight now, and men would avoid you like the plague.
Thinking of this, she seemed to relax a lot. She slowly opened the door, only to find that the man was not in the room.
The next second, a bright, flower-like smile bloomed on her face.
It was truly a stroke of luck for her; she managed to slip back to bed and lie down in one go.
The blankets on the bed smelled of sunshine, so it seemed that Li's mother did indeed have them cleaned regularly.
I glanced at the clock on the wall; it was only eight o'clock. For someone who stays up late so often, it was indeed difficult to fall asleep.
In the 1980s, there was no entertainment, and many people would go back to their rooms to sleep after dinner.
The Li family did have a color television in the living room, and Su Jingjing could faintly hear voices coming from the television downstairs.
I bet An'an and Yuanyuan are here too. The two kids have never watched TV in the family compound and they're really bored.
Su Jingjing didn't plan to go down, lest everyone feel uncomfortable.
Her eyes darted around and she spotted a military notebook on the bedside table. Driven by curiosity, she picked it up and opened it. There were still notes left by a man on it.
Just then, a noise came from the doorway, startling Su Jingjing so much that she almost dropped the book in her hand.
The man stood motionless in the doorway, and Su Jingjing assumed he was staring at the book in her hand.
His face flushed slightly, and he immediately closed the book and placed it on the table. He pursed his lips and said, "Um... I haven't read much yet."
This is a military book, and the man even made notes in it, so it must be very important.
Li Hanting strode forward unhurriedly, stopped in front of Jingjing, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not an important book, feel free to read it."
Hearing what the man said, Su Jingjing stopped worrying.
"oh."
But the man was so intimidating that, for safety, she huddled under the covers.
"It's getting late, go take a shower and go to bed."
She regretted saying it as soon as she said it; it sounded so urgent.
She glanced at the spot beside her and asked softly, "Um, where are you going to sleep later?"
"Besides the bed, is there anywhere else for me to sleep?"
The man asked her in a hoarse voice, his eyes growing deep.
Su Jingjing was speechless for a moment. Why did it feel like she was asking that on purpose?
After calming down, she analyzed the situation with the man, "You see, we're going to get divorced sooner or later. It's not good to be lying in the same bed anymore, is it?"
The main problem is that she's a restless sleeper and tends to lift her arms and legs, which could ruin her reputation of over twenty years.
Upon hearing the word "divorce," Li Hanting's eyes instantly turned icy cold, devoid of any warmth.
She actually considered getting a divorce.
She was the one who wanted to get married, and she's the one getting a divorce now. Was he just a tool?
The man's voice was unusually cold and angry: "You want a divorce?"
Su Jingjing shivered. Wasn't it him who said he wanted a divorce?
She thought this way and casually voiced her thoughts.
The man seemed to lower his aura even further, gradually bending down to approach her, his hot breath spraying all over her face.
Su Jingjing didn't know whether to be ashamed or angry, so she quickly turned her head away and refused to look into the man's eyes.
"I'm sorry, I will never mention divorce again, and you must not even think about it."
What?
She was dumbfounded; how could they say that?
Doesn't the book say that this scoundrel has always wanted a divorce?
However, due to the original owner's persistent pestering, since this was a long-term meal ticket, no one was willing to let go.
What does this man mean? Is he not interested in her?
No, no, no, Su Jingjing, stop being so narcissistic.
She was still self-aware enough to know that Li Hanting was a cold-blooded, tough man; how could he easily fall in love with her?
"Knock knock knock..."
Just as Su Jingjing was at a loss, someone knocked on the door.
To avoid any misunderstanding, she immediately pushed the man away.
"Um... someone's here."
"Go open the door."
Li Hanting was initially annoyed after being pushed away, but when he met her innocent eyes, all his anger vanished.
Li Yuanyuan, standing outside the door, asked softly, "Dad, Mom, are you asleep?"
"It's round."
Hearing her daughter's voice, Su Jingjing's tone became lighter. She immediately threw off the covers, put on her shoes, and walked towards the door.
She truly is her good daughter!
