Chapter 364
Ning Qing’s pink mouth was trembling, and her hand was pulled down by him. She looked at him with through her tears. She had cried too much, and her small, dainty nose was red. “You lied. I said you couldn’t touch me, but you tricked me to go to the top of the mountain that day…”
Lu Shaoming held her in his arms. The little woman’s mind was quick. In a moment, she had thought through what had happened in the past few months.
He brushed her beautiful hair behind her ear and kissed her snowy little earlobe. “Wifey, I used a little poppy to relieve the pain that day.”
Ning Qing was shocked and trembled. Pointing out her forefinger and scolding him. “You animal; don’t you want to live? You only know how to do those things.”
Lu Shaoming laid her down and pressed down on her. “Wifey, what else could I do? When you first came back, you pestered me. How could I not miss you after being apart for two months? I would react if you touched me. Later, you went to England, but when you came back, you showed up in front of me in such a blatant way. I would have a reaction just by seeing you. Wifey, you’ve tortured me so much that I wanted to do that with you so much.”
Ning Qing covered his mouth with her small hand, not allowing him to speak. Does he have any shame? They hadn’t been together properly for half a year. They were talking so much now, but all his words were laced with sexual intent.
Harmonious society was not afraid of harmony.
That’s right, examine the design.
The blush on Jian Han’s face did not recede. She pulled her little hand out of his palm and sat down somewhat shyly.
Zhou Dayuan circled to the opposite sofa.
The waiter brought the menu, and Zhou Dayuan pushed it in front of her. “You order first.”
“Ok.” Jian Han nodded.
She picked up the menu, turned over several pages, and said to the waiter, “One fried beef fillet with hot peppers, milan fried fish steak, stir-fried fresh mushrooms, and vegetables.”
She passed the menu to Zhou Dayuan.
Zhou Dayuan was holding a teacup to pour warm water for her. The man’s hands were beautiful, like jade, without any calluses, fair and slender.
When he had held her just now, they were so warm.
Zhou Dayuan took the menu and said, “Another dried pot tea mushroom…” He added several more dishes.
The waitress took the menu away. Jian Han took a sip of water and looked out the window at the bright lights outside. The environment was quiet, the French music was romantic, and there was no other noise. Everyone looked down and talked quietly.
Jian Han’s mood relaxed a little and became lighter.
The dishes soon arrived, and they both ate very elegantly. The dim light covered the aloof duo with a soft glow. Outsiders could not come into their world.
But soon, something unexpected happened. The rattan chair was connected with the seats behind. A family of three sat down behind them. The child was jumping around on the rattan chair, and his little arms touched Jian Han’s shoulders.
Zhou Dayuan raised his eyes and looked over. “Come and sit here,” he said with a soft voice.
He pointed to the seat beside him.
Jian Han could do nothing. Children were all naughty sometimes. She got up and sat beside him.
The adults behind them soon looked over and smiled apologetically. “Sorry, the child has bothered you.”
Jian Han smiled and shook her head. “It’s all right.”
They sat together for dinner. Jian Han was a bit restrained while the man acted as he normally does. He picked up a small, clean bowl, scooped up two spoonfuls of Yangzhou fried rice with a small spoon, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked out all the onions inside, and finally put them in her hand.
After all these years, he remembered that she did not eat onions.
As the only daughter in the family, she was not only an idiot in life but also picky and difficult to support.
“Thank you.” Jian Han looked down and took a delicate bite of rice with the spoon he had just scooped, then took a piece of lettuce with chopsticks and ate it.
But just then, the man in her peripheral vision stopped eating.
He leaned back into the sofa, with two long legs crossed gently, one arm across the sofa behind her, and one hand placed gently on his leg.
Jian Han looked sideways and saw the sharp and handsome outline of the man. He pressed his lips together lightly and brought out a bit of fatigue in his gentle appearance.
“You’ve eaten?” she opened her mouth and asked. There was an unnoticeable heartache for him in her gentle voice.
This kind of heartache felt as if it was about to spill over.
He hadn’t eaten much just now, as if he had a bad appetite.
Zhou Dayuan looked at the woman and shook his head. “No.”
“Why don’t you eat then? Is the dish not to your liking?”
“It’s alright.”
Jian Han put a small piece of lettuce on her chopsticks into her mouth and chewed it. Then she took a piece of beef fillet and brought it to his mouth. “Have a taste.”
Zhou Dayuan leaned over and ate with his mouth open.
“Is it delicious?” the woman asked.
Zhou Dayuan chewed a few mouthfuls of beef fillet, then swallowed. “Yes, it’s delicious.” He looked at her delicate and gentle apricot eyes. All three dishes she ordered were his favorite. As a doctor, he knew how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. He didn’t like raw, cold, and spicy dishes very much. He loved beef, fish, and seasonal vegetables.
He bent down and they were very close. Jian Han looked at his brows that were near his temples. His nose was not as tall and sharp as other men’s, but its silhouette was beautiful and very pleasant to look at.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
Zhou Dayuan frowned and softly said, “There’s nothing wrong. It’s just that Zhilei… She was tormented for half a month and had her right leg amputated when she was sent to the hospital. She has to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.”
Zhou Dayuan’s tone was as if he were gossiping with her. He seldom made friends. Lu Shaoming had grown up with him. They were very close, but some words couldn’t be said to him.
Looking at the woman’s gentle eyes now, he wanted to talk about it.
“Actually, in the Zhou family, I don’t know why, but my parents have never been close to me since childhood. Besides living under the same roof, they are indifferent to me. They don’t care about my studies or my life. But they treated Zhilei very well, so well that they would be afraid that she would melt when they held her in their palms. Later, I thought that maybe it’s because I’m a boy, and girls need more care than boys.
“Nevertheless, I still think we are a family. Zhilei is my sister, but I can’t help her. She has a deep attachment to Shaoming. I watched her go astray, step by step, and she finally paid the price for her mistakes. Now, her entire life has probably been ruined…”
Jian Han listened and looked down slowly. Sometimes, a lot of things in the world could not be explained clearly. Zhou Zhilei’s disability now was to atone for her mistakes. Whether right or wrong, this man still felt bad for his sister.
His sense of responsibility was too heavy, both towards Lu Shaoming and Zhou Zhilei.
Just then, a big palm touched her little face as the man smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”
