Ji Zitong immediately rolled her eyes at him. “Do you think I have the time for that?”

“No,” Master Su answered very firmly.

Ji Zitong’s stiff expression then began to ease as she inhaled and look out of the car window. The sky had already turned dark outside while the streetlights on both sides were lit up. She could still see couples holding hands on the sidewalk or young lovers walking past in each other’s embrace.

Ji Zitong actually quite liked the feeling of going for a spin in the car on wide roads like these as she watched these people and the streetscape. Of course, the ride should not coincide with the traffic like it did this moment because it would only ruin the mood.

The traffic lights turned red, and the car was trapped in a gridlock.

Su Chen turned and saw that she looked extremely bored, so he reached out to play some very soothing Latin music in the car.

Ji Zitong suddenly remembered that when he first sent her home, he was also playing songs like these, so she could not help but ask him, “Do you like foreign style music too?”

“I don’t have a special preference. I quite like country music and folk music. I can’t be certain about which one I like either. It’s like how in high school, I liked pop music, but after joining the military academy, we’re so exhausted from training every day that I’m not interested in any music. Once I left, I started listening to more of these, and then just got used to them,” Su Chen responded calmly.

“It looks like you weren’t satisfied with that lifestyle either,” she said with a wry smile.

“You silly! Who would be happy with that kind of highly stressful and challenging life? However, it really trains one’s willpower. In the future, I’d want to throw my child in there to train him for a bit too. Let him know that his old man used to enjoy that kind of life.”

However, when Su Chen said that, Ji Zitong could not help but feel her heart palpitate as she stared at him in a daze.

Seeing her like that, Su Chen was bewildered for a moment too. After a while, he realized what he had just said. Then, he cleared his throat and shut his mouth to focus on driving while looking ahead instead while Ji Zitong only turned away and continued looking out of the window.

The car sped all the way. About half an hour later, they finally reached the neighborhood in which Su Chen’s villa was. The husband and wife went to buy ingredients from the nearby supermarket. After that, they rushed back home.

Naturally, dinner was still prepared by Su Chen since Ji Zitong’s culinary skills were not that great. Even though Su Chen did not usually like to cook, now that he had a wife, he obviously had to show his demeanor as a man. However, Ji Zitong helped with the cutlery.

Su Chen ate very quickly. In fact, in recent times, the husband and wife were coordinated in dividing the work in the kitchen.

After dinner, Su Chen did not rush up to the study room as he usually did. Instead, he sat down in front of the television in the living room and switched it on. He took out some tea leaves and was about to make tea to casually pa.s.s the time while Ji Zitong cleaned up the kitchen.

As Su Chen fiddled with the tea leaves, he shouted toward the kitchen door, “I’m making tea. What do you want to drink? Dahongpao? Or Pu Er?”

Inside the kitchen, Ji Zitong, who was washing the dishes, paused and quickly answered, “I’m not drinking any of that. Give me a cup of lemonade instead!”

Even though this man was quite annoying sometimes, his culinary skills were pretty impressive. At least, they were much better than hers, especially the simmer-friend sweet and sour fish. Although it was such a huge fish, Su Chen only had a few bites while the rest had gone into her belly. She even had two bowls of rice!

Right now, Ji Zitong thought it was terrifying as she thought about it. Since when has my appet.i.te increased? I wonder if this is considered eating and drinking unreasonably.

She did not need to worry that she would get fat since she was just the type who would never get fat no matter what she ate. Her weight would always be the same. Furthermore, she was almost 1.7 meters tall, so even if she added on a few kilograms, she would not look fat easily.

However, she was quite full from the meal right now. She washed her bowl and walked over towards the sofa, caressing her belly and feeling stuffed. At that moment, she did not care about the man who was watching her calmly now.

Su Chen could not help but clear her throat as he lowered his head and chuckled.

Ji Zitong bluntly gave him a cold look.

“The way you eat, if I brought you to a buffet, you definitely won’t lose out.” Su Chen laughed and then handed her a pill to aid her digestion. “Have this. Sit for a bit and then take a shower, then you won’t feel so bad afterward.”

Ji Zitong took the pill and the lemonade that he made for her. She opened the bottle and quickly swallowed the pill.

“I haven’t eaten anything the whole day. I only had time to have a slice of toast since there were quite a lot of things to do at the shop these past few days. I almost couldn’t catch my breath.”

“That’s your body. You should look after it. How can you not eat? If you can’t handle it, then hire one or two more people. You’re just pa.s.sing time anyway. Do you have to do everything yourself? Can’t you just be an arm-flinging shopkeeper?”

Su Chen watched as she laid there and shifted a little, seeming quite uncomfortable. He then took a pillow and helped her by putting it behind her back to lie on it.

“Even if I’m just pa.s.sing time, I can’t be making a loss. The shop isn’t huge to begin with. If something didn’t happen to my mother and Xiao Bei didn’t take leave, I usually could handle it. Right now, both of them aren’t around, so I was a little overwhelmed.”

Ji Zitong did not know why she would even care to discuss matters of her little business with the man.

Su Chen’s still gaze swept across her bright and moving little face. Suddenly, his eyes lowered and instantly fell onto her empty fingers. The words Mu Yuchen had said to her before quickly flashed in her mind.

He muttered to himself for a moment before suddenly telling her, “Don’t go to the shop first tomorrow. Go somewhere with me.”

“Where?” Ji Zitong turned to her side and silently looked at him.

Su Chen’s eyes flickered for a while before he smiled mysteriously. “You’ll find out tomorrow!” Then, he silently looked down and continued drinking his tea.

Nevertheless, Ji Zitong only examined him unhurriedly. When she saw that he was not planning on explaining, she did not ask him further and lowered her head to drink. “Right, if you’re free next week, find a time to visit my home with me. My father’s been talking about it recently, and we’re still newlyweds.”

Su Chen was taken by surprise. After a while, he looked apologetically at her. “I’m sorry. I overlooked that. We’ll go back to visit tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, Ah Chen’s invited us to his place for a barbeque.”
