Su Jingjing was unaware of the secret plot the two had made during the day; she was focused on preparing dinner.
She's mostly been getting food at the cafeteria these past two days, and she's heard some gossip, but life is for herself, there's no need to live it for others.
Looking at the man eating quietly across from her, Su Jingjing swallowed her food, hesitating to speak.
"You can speak your mind."
The man suddenly blurted out a sentence.
Su Jingjing bit her chopsticks and slowly opened her lips, "I have to go to the city tomorrow morning, so I might not have time to make breakfast. Could you pack breakfast from the canteen for the two children?"
Li Hanting paused, his hand holding the chopsticks twitching slightly, his brows furrowing. Was she going to go find that man?
Upon realizing that this was the reason, his entire face immediately froze, sending a chill down one's spine.
Su Jingjing kept her eyes on the man and naturally didn't miss the subtle expressions on his face, and immediately felt a chill.
She was wondering why the man's mood could change so drastically when she was interrupted by her daughter's sweet, childlike voice.
"Mom, what are you going to do in the city?"
In the little one's mind, the city has everything, and after visiting it once, she misses it terribly.
What a pity!
She and her brother have to go to school tomorrow.
Su Jingjing turned to look at her daughter. The little one's expression was so cute, sometimes happy and sometimes sad. How could she have so many expressions at such a young age?
“Our family hasn’t had meat for several days, so Mom went to the city to buy some.”
This was only one reason. The main reason was that she wanted to submit the translated articles to the newspaper. She translated a total of five short articles and eight long articles, which should earn her about thirty yuan. This was her first paycheck.
Li Hanting's eyes narrowed; as expected, she wanted to see that man.
Meat is also sold in the small shops in the nearby villages, so there's no need to travel all the way to the city.
"I'm going to the city tomorrow morning too, I'll drive you there."
Even if he doesn't have any missions tomorrow, he still needs to keep a close eye on his wife and make sure no other man gets close to her.
Su Jingjing was naturally happy to be picked up by a private car; she didn't want to go through another bumpy ride.
"Okay, I'll cook breakfast tomorrow. Will that interfere with your work?"
Li Hanting gazed intently at his wife's face. "No."
The next day, Su Jingjing went for a run as usual before rushing back to cook breakfast. The ingredients were simple: a pot of white porridge, a few vegetable pancakes, and some spicy cabbage that her sister-in-law Qiu Rong had given her the day before. It was delicious and appetizing.
Of course, the father and his two sons were very accommodating and ate with great relish.
After lunch, the two children each carried a shoulder bag and went to school.
Su Jingjing handed over the task of washing the dishes to the man and went inside to change her clothes.
It has to be said that although the original owner was fat, she had a good figure and a nice butt. If she could successfully lose weight, she would definitely be a beautiful girl with both a good figure and good looks. I don't believe Li Hanting would not take the bait then.
She was very dissatisfied with the women's underwear from the 1980s; wasn't this just a simple base layer?
This makes her breasts prone to sagging and doesn't look good. Looks like she's going to the mall today.
The man's car was parked downstairs. Luckily, everyone was still at home having breakfast and didn't have time to come downstairs to chat.
Su Jingjing instinctively walked towards the back seat, but her wrist was grabbed by the man.
"Sit in the front."
Li Hanting held onto his wife while opening the passenger door for her, a gesture that was hard to refuse.
Su Jingjing didn't refute. She said "Oh," bent down and sat in the passenger seat. She subconsciously reached for her seatbelt, but then suddenly remembered that the original owner had never been exposed to these things before, so she silently unbuckled her seatbelt.
Li Hanting closed the car door for his wife, then walked around to the driver's seat and moved closer to her.
Unexpectedly, this startled her, and she immediately curled up into a ball, asking, "What, what are you going to do?"
Li Hanting's hand stopped in mid-air, then he reached out to grab the seatbelt, looked up to meet her gaze, and said in a deep voice, "I'll fasten your seatbelt."
"oh oh."
Realizing she had misunderstood the man, Su Jingjing blushed slightly.
When someone kindly buckles your seatbelt, and you're met with such suspicion, it's bound to upset anyone.
Seeing that his wife was uncomfortable, Li Hanting quickly and efficiently fastened her seatbelt and then started the car.
The man was indeed a good driver; she didn't feel any bumps at all, as if she were driving on a smooth concrete road.
Looking at the road ahead, Su Jingjing swallowed hard and secretly glanced at the man beside her, wanting to see what his expression was.
The man in the driver's seat had one hand on the steering wheel. She first noticed his slender hand, which circled the black steering wheel. She realized that men's hands could be so beautiful too!
But the man's face was expressionless, revealing no emotion whatsoever, which made Su Jingjing's heart pound.
Will it still be upset about what just happened?
The atmosphere was too quiet, so Su Jingjing tried to start a conversation, "Li Hanting, I'm going to the mall to buy some things later. Do you have time to wait?"
Li Hanting tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said in a deep voice without turning his head, "No matter how long it takes, I'll wait."
These words sounded rather awkward to Su Jingjing.
"Alright, then wait for me at the supply and marketing cooperative."
She absolutely must not let any man find out that she works part-time at the newspaper.
"Um."
This conversation could kill a person; the man seemed unwilling to speak, and Su Jingjing didn't dare to disturb him any further.
Forget it, she should just shut up and go to sleep.
Su Jingjing leaned back slightly, touching the soft backrest, and her mood relaxed. She closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Seeing that his wife had fallen asleep, Li Hanting subconsciously slowed down the car.
My dear wife, I hope you won't let me down.
What should have been a half-hour drive ended up taking more than fifty minutes.
When the car stopped in the middle of the city, Su Jingjing seemed to sense something, slowly opened her eyes, and mumbled, "Have we arrived? Where is this?"
It turned out she had just fallen asleep.
He picked up his hand and wiped his mouth as if to hide it, not knowing if he had drooled.
Li Hanting didn't miss his wife's actions. "Yes, this is the entrance to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Su Jingjing opened the car door, lowered her head and slipped out, saying, "I'll go downstairs to buy something first, you go and get back to work."
Li Hanting waited until his wife had completely entered the supply and marketing cooperative before driving away.
Although Su Jingjing was picking out things, she kept an eye on the man behind her. Only after she was sure he had driven away did she put down what she was holding and prepare to leave the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Miss, are you not satisfied with the clothes you just picked out?"
The staff member stepped forward to stop her, so Su Jingjing had no choice but to casually ask, "Do you have any nice underwear here?"
Fearing the other person wouldn't understand, she continued to explain, "It's the kind of bra that makes your breasts look beautiful."
The employee smiled and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, we don't have that here, but the mall sells it."
"Okay, then I'll go to the mall to buy it."
This was to be expected, since the clothes in the mall are more fashionable.
