After the meal, Su Jingjing deliberately asked the man to take the two children downstairs to digest their food.
"I'll clean up the dishes first before I go downstairs."
Looking at the mess on the table, Li Hanting couldn't bear to let his wife clean it all up.
"No need, I can manage on my own."
She mainly wanted to get the man away; didn't you see her face was almost as red as her buttocks?
I said I was taking the kids downstairs to digest their food, but as soon as we got downstairs, the group of kids were already playing together.
After thinking for a moment, he called An'an over.
"What's wrong with Dad?"
Li Hanting looked down at his son and said, "Watch over your little sister. Come back in ten minutes. I'm going upstairs to help Mom wash the dishes."
"oh."
Li Cheng'an was not surprised at all; his father only had eyes for his mother now.
He and his sister were like a third wheel.
Su Jingjing patted her cheeks and started clearing the dishes. Just then, the door was pushed open, and she looked over in confusion.
A tall man stood in the doorway. "Why are you back?"
She instinctively looked behind her, but there was nothing there. "Where are An'an and Yuanyuan?"
"They're playing downstairs."
Li Hanting closed the door and came in, took the bowl and chopsticks from his wife's hands, and took them to the kitchen.
"Go sit over there, I'll take care of the tidying up."
Su Jingjing was stunned. Did she come back specifically to wash the dishes?
She sat there in the chair, secretly watching the man's every move, and found it quite pleasing to the eye.
Li Hanting wasn't unaware of his wife's gaze, but he didn't stop her. As long as his wife was willing to look at him, he was content.
While she was lost in thought, Li Hanting wiped his hands, went to the study, and soon returned with a bankbook, handing it to his wife.
Su Jingjing immediately realized that she had been swooning over a guy, and awkwardly touched her face, asking stammeringly, "What, what is this?"
Why does it look a bit like a bankbook?
Li Hanting moved a stool and sat down in front of his wife, took her hand, and placed the bankbook in her hand.
"This is all the money I saved up during my years in the army. I'll give it to you from now on. If you want to buy something, just take it from here and don't worry about it."
"By the way, you can open it and take a look."
Su Jingjing swallowed hard, never expecting that one day she would be able to control a man's savings account.
Driven by the promise of a good life, she slowly opened her savings book. The string of numbers made her uneasy. She silently counted them in her mind: tens, hundreds... there was actually ten thousand yuan. She was so frightened that she immediately closed the savings book.
She raised her surprised eyes to look at the man, then threw the hot potato back into his hands, saying, "I don't dare take so much money."
You can hardly find many people with ten thousand yuan in assets from the 1980s.
Li Hanting's face darkened. "Why not? You're my wife. You should have a share in this too."
He then shoved it back into her hand.
Aren't you afraid I'll run out of money?
"I'm very generous with money."
Su Jingjing felt a little dizzy when such a large piece of pie fell on her.
Suddenly it became ten thousand yuan.
"Don't worry, it will motivate me even more. Buy whatever you like."
He'd do anything to keep his wife by his side.
Su Jingjing lowered her head and pondered, then tentatively asked him, "I still don't dare to accept it. You'll have a new wife in the future, and if she finds out, it will definitely affect your relationship as a couple."
Li Hanting's face immediately darkened, and he exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down people's spines.
"Did I...did I say something wrong?"
Li Hanting was annoyed by his wife's silly expression. He sighed inwardly and said solemnly, "I, Li Hanting, will only have one wife in my life, and that is you. There will be no one else. Everything I have is yours."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up divorce before. Let's never get divorced."
Su Jingjing blinked. How could a man be so affectionate?
Does this mean he's interested in her?
Suddenly, I couldn't hold on.
"Does that mean you like me?"
Li Hanting immediately fell silent. The word "like" appeared in his dictionary for the first time.
"Yes, I like you. I don't care who you are. I only know that you are my wife, Li Hanting."
"Wife, do you love me?"
It took Li Hanting a great deal of courage to ask that question.
He wanted to see just how much that man meant to his wife.
A simple "wife" made her heart flutter.
Su Jingjing instinctively wanted to evade the question, "I...I don't know."
She's still completely confused; how could such an outstanding man like her?
Even with her previous scumbag boyfriends, she never had a crush on them, so she had no idea what it felt like to like someone.
All I know is that she doesn't dislike Li Hanting, and even enjoys his kindness.
Sure enough, she was no longer the Su Jingjing of before, but no matter who she was, she could only be his wife.
Li Hanting took her soft little hand in his palm and slowly played with it. It felt so good to squeeze!
"So, do you reject me?"
It was so alluring that Su Jingjing wanted to break free; her palms were sweating with nervousness.
"Could you let go first? Let's talk slowly."
Li Hanting wouldn't allow his wife to escape, his tone both anxious and domineering, "Answer my question first."
Sure enough, none of the soldiers were easy to deal with.
"Of course I don't rule it out."
Su Jingjing had no choice but to answer truthfully, shaking her head like a rattle drum.
"That's enough. We can slowly cultivate our relationship, but neither of us is allowed to mention divorce."
"Wife, are you willing?"
The man's magnetic voice made Su Jingjing dizzy, and she was instantly drawn into the man's deep eyes, where it seemed as if only her own reflection existed.
Feeling dizzy, I agreed, "Then I'll give it a try."
Su Jingjing believed that she might never find a man more capable than Li Hanting.
Since she's going to live in the 1980s anyway, why not give it a try?
My wife agreed!
Li Hanting smiled slightly, unable to hide his good mood. "If there's anything I've done wrong, tell me, and I can change it."
"good."
At that moment, Su Jingjing also smiled.
"Hey, Mom and Dad, what are you doing?"
Hearing her daughter's sweet voice, Su Jingjing's expression changed. She quickly shook off the man's hand, picked up her hand, and pretended to fix her hair. She was not used to being intimate in front of her two children.
"I'll go put the passbook away."
Feeling embarrassed to face the two children, Su Jingjing whispered something to the man before turning and going back to her room.
Li Cheng'an, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed the bankbook in his mother's hand.
Since Mom couldn't possibly have a savings account, there's only one possibility: Dad gave it to her.
I never imagined that Dad would go to such lengths for Mom.
Li Yuanyuan didn't understand why her mother had suddenly gone back to her room. She subconsciously wanted to follow her, but her father stopped her.
"Dad, I want to go to Mom's room."
Hmph... Dad wants to monopolize Mom.
Li Hanting carried his daughter back to her room. "Mom is busy. You have to go to school later. Go take a nap with your brother first."
"An'an, take good care of your little sister."
The little one was coaxed by his father and brother, and his struggles gradually subsided until he obediently covered himself with the blanket and went to sleep.
