Li Hanting's face was ashen, and he said in a gloomy voice, "Who was that man just now?"
Why would you ask him for money? Are you short of money?
Regardless of their past relationship, now that she has entered his heart, he cannot allow her to have any other thoughts.
So he really did see it!
It seems that Li Hanting had indeed never met Wang Hui before; the original owner did a good job of keeping it a secret.
Oh dear, Su Jingjing, what are you thinking about? You should be thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
However, she couldn't seem to think of any good solutions. The man's face was as black as earth, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces. What should she do?
Could it be that this was her ex-boyfriend who swindled her out of a lot of money?
No, no... No, she and Li Hanting are in a military marriage. If this gets out, she might be punished.
Li Hanting's heart sank further. Was it really that hard to talk about?
“It’s all a misunderstanding. He’s Jinju’s good friend.” Su Jingjing emphasized “good friend” and continued, sticking out her neck: “Didn’t Jinju owe me money? He insisted on paying it back for Jinju. I thought it didn’t matter who paid it back, so I told him to prepare the money next time.”
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "It's that simple."
She wasn't exactly lying; she just embellished the story.
Li Hanting certainly didn't completely believe this, but his wife still treated him like an outsider.
"Is there anything else I need to buy?"
The man's nonsensical remark startled Su Jingjing for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said, "Oh, I still need to go buy some meat and snacks."
Does he believe it or not?
He is deep in thought and unfathomable.
Although she had just been disturbed, Su Jingjing was still in a good mood when she arrived at the meat stall and carefully selected the meat.
The next stop was the supply and marketing cooperative. She bought some snacks that Yuanyuan liked to eat, as well as fruits that she liked to eat. As for An'an, she really didn't know what the boy liked to eat.
Having a ticket is great, it saves a lot of money.
As soon as she stepped out of the supply and marketing cooperative, the man came up to her and took the things from her hands, saying, "I'll carry them. Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Su Jingjing glanced at the pile of things and suddenly felt that she had bought too much. She wondered if her husband would say she was a spendthrift.
She said cryptically, "I'm not buying anything else. I bought a lot of things today. Do you have any other ideas?"
Li Hanting understood what his wife meant; as long as she didn't leave him, he didn't care how much money it cost.
Besides, these are all snacks for her two children; she hasn't bought herself any clothes in a long time.
"not much."
Su Jingjing pouted. "So unromantic! What's wrong with saying one more word?"
Forget it, Li Hanting doesn't seem like a romantic person at all.
"Let's hurry back, we need to get back to make lunch." With that, she headed towards the car.
Li Hanting finally voiced his doubts, "Haven't you bought yourself any clothes in a long time?"
He feels insecure now that his wife doesn't spend any money.
Su Jingjing paused, then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
"I plan to buy clothes after I successfully lose weight; buying them now would be a waste."
Li Hanting sat in the driver's seat and looked at his wife's profile.
She gazed out the window, her eyes cool and aloof. Her oval face was sharp and small, and stray strands of hair clung to her face, making her skin appear even whiter.
Suddenly, she turned her head, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Su Jingjing subconsciously touched her face, completely unaware of the change in the man's gaze.
"nothing."
Li Hanting's Adam's apple bobbed, his right hand gripping the steering wheel tightened, but his words remained serious.
The next second, he started the car and drove away, staring intently ahead, without saying a word the entire way.
Seeing the man's cold face, Su Jingjing felt a little scared, as if she had offended him.
The car was parked at the entrance of the residential compound, and the faint aroma of food wafted through the air. Fortunately, at this time, everyone was at home cooking, so no one was chatting under the big tree.
Otherwise, if she encounters a woman from the family compound, she'll be accused of being wasteful.
The man took something out of the trunk, and she couldn't stand it, so she reached out to take it, saying, "Let me take some."
Li Hanting gestured to his wife with his eyes, "No need, it's very light, let's go home first."
Since the man was willing, Su Jingjing stopped insisting.
Once home, the two divided the work and quickly prepared three dishes and a soup.
Anyone who sees this meal cannot help but sigh with admiration.
Boiled shrimp, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried greens, and seaweed and egg drop soup.
Looking at the plate of prawns, Su Jingjing couldn't help but swallow her saliva; prawns were her favorite food.
She had been here for almost a month and hadn't seen a single shrimp. Today, she didn't know what stroke of luck she had, but she actually ran into someone selling shrimp, although the price was a bit expensive.
She just got paid today, so she'll treat herself to it.
"When An'an and Yuan Yuan come back and see that there are shrimp, they will definitely like it."
The man suddenly blurted out, "You like to eat shrimp?"
Su Jingjing nodded happily, "Yes, I like it very much."
"But this stuff is expensive, so it's fine to eat it only once in a while."
It turns out he was still willing to talk to me. Just now in the kitchen, he was silent, as if his anger hadn't subsided.
Li Hanting frowned slightly. Since his wife liked shrimp, he would buy more shrimp in the future.
Just then, the two children came home from school. As soon as they opened the door and smelled the delicious aroma, they exclaimed, "Mom, it smells so good!"
Of course, Yuanyuan said those words.
"Huh, there are shrimp?"
The little guy smacked his lips as he spoke.
She ate it twice at her grandma's house, and it was delicious.
Su Jingjing asked, "Yuanyuan, do you like to eat shrimp too?"
Could it be such a coincidence?
"Mom, Yuanyuan really likes to eat shrimp."
It seems they were mother and daughter in a past life.
Shrimp are delicious, but peeling them is too much trouble.
"I'll do it."
Su Jingjing was struggling with the shrimp when the man reached out, deftly peeled a shrimp, and held it to her mouth.
"Eat."
She was mesmerized by the man's long, slender fingers.
"Wh...what do you mean?"
He actually fed her to her mouth himself; she was flattered and overwhelmed.
The two children watched longingly from the side, and she felt awkward, so she opened her mouth, bit into the shrimp, and chewed it slowly.
This is outrageous! The man actually asked, "Is it good?"
Su Jingjing swallowed it before she could even taste it, and chuckled at the man, "Mmm, delicious."
She wondered to herself, "Could Li Hanting be interested in her?"
Does she have that much charm?
No matter what, she was determined to win this man over.
"Dad, I want one too."
The little one was unhappy because her dad wouldn't peel shrimp for her.
Looking at his jealous daughter, Li Hanting's voice softened involuntarily, "Okay, you and Mom can focus on eating. Dad will peel shrimp for you."
During lunch, Li Hanting peeled shrimp for the mother and daughter, occasionally giving one to his son, but he didn't eat more than a couple of bites himself.
