Chapter 100 - A Gift for You.
“Sweetheart! Sweetheart!” Huo Jinyao carried a large package into the room. He walked over to her and put it down in front of her.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a gift.” Huo Jinyao had a smug expression on his face. “It’s a gift for you.”
“A gift?” Su Qingsang looked at the box but had no idea what was inside it. “Why did you get me a gift?”
It was not a holiday and it wasn’t his or her birthday, so why was he giving her a gift?
“Well, it’s a gift for our one-month anniversary.” Huo Jinyao clapped his hands and said, “Soon, we will have been married for a month. This is a gift to commemorate that.”
The corner of Su Qingsang’s mouth twitched a little. Was there really such a thing as celebrating your one-month anniversary?
“Alright?” Huo Jinyao picked up the carton again. “Shall we try them on?”
“Clothes?”
Su Qingsang was about to refuse when Sister Lu, their hired help, came out of the kitchen, finished with cooking.
“Mrs. and Mr. Huo, dinner is ready.”
Only then did Huo Jinyao realize that there was someone else in the house. He suddenly looked a bit uncomfortable. “Let’s eat first. We’ll eat first and try them on after dinner.” He carried the package into the bedroom, leaving Su Qingsang watching him walk away, a little surprised.
What the hell is this guy doing? Why is he so secretive?
After dinner, Su Qingsang knew the answer to her question. She saw Huo Jinyao acted like he was presenting her with treasure.
“Sweetheart, come and try this on.” Huo Jinyao took out one of the outfits, which he had thought was the most suitable one for Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang was looking at a nightgown. It could not be any lighter or thinner; wearing that nightgown would be like not wearing anything at all.
“You —”
“Don’t worry. I have bought them all according to your measurements. I’m sure you can wear them.”
“No, I won’t wear it.” Su Qingsang refused, ignoring Huo Jinyao, who was clearly crazy. “I’m going to take a shower.”
“Sweetheart. Huo Jinyao reached out to take her hand. She didn’t expect that, so she sat back down the bed weakly.
Huo Jinyao looked sideways at her and smiled as he handed the nightgown to her. “Please try it on. I really think it will suit you.”
“Come on, stop it.”
“Really, I mean it.” There was even a bit of sadness in Huo Jinyao’s voice that was very faint. “Sweetheart, you don’t like the gift I bought you?”
“No.” Who would like wearing a nightgown that didn’t adequately cover anything?
“I do.” Huo Jinyao wrapped her in his arms and said, “I like it. Just put it on for me, please.”
“You —”
“If you don’t, I’ll help you change myself.” As Huo Jinyao spoke, he acted like he was about to take off her clothes. How could she let him do that?
She pushed his hand away forcefully and got up quickly. Huo Jinyao trie again, making her feel vewed.
With a spur of the moment decision, she grabbed the thin black cloth and rushed into the bathroom quickly. “Don’t follow me in here.”
Huo Jinyao would not go in there since he’d achieved his purpose. He put away the rest of the clothes and began to consider making her wear a different nightgown every day for the next few days.
An idea flashed through his mind. Huo Jinyao’s eyes lit up and he quickly went to the guestroom’s bathroom for a shower.
Su Qingsang hesitated in the bathroom for quite a while, but still did not have the courage to put on the nightgown. She was very angry with Huo Jinyao, thinking he had gone too far. She knew that if she didn’t put it on, he might really make her do it.
By the time Su Qingsang came out of the bathroom, Huo Jinyao had already finished his shower and was waiting for her in bed.
“Sweetheart—”
