“Should Hai Tong’s whole family come over too?” Ning Yun Chu asked again.
“Yes, their whole family will come over in a bit. Old Eight is just worried that his sweetheart might feel bored. He thinks having children around will make things livelier and help ease her nervousness.”
Zhan Yichen laughed and said, “Old Eight is really considerate.”
“Of course he is. Old Eight is very thoughtful. That boy may be a bit slow in some ways, but when it comes to winning a girl’s heart, he is much better at it than all of you.”
Zhan Yichen replied, “Grandma, I was not bad back then, was I?”
He even turned to his wife and asked, “Wife, when I was pursuing you, was I very considerate? Was I good at making you happy?”
Ning Yun Chu playfully slapped his face. “Not at all. Back then I could not even see, yet you specifically demanded that I deliver flowers to you personally. Heaven knows how hard it was for me to go back and forth. That was not consideration. That was making things difficult for me.”
“I had not even accepted your feelings yet, and you still took liberties with me. Was that consideration?”
Zhan Yichen: “……”
On the phone, the old lady burst into unrestrained laughter.
“Old Second, do not blame Grandma for saying this. Your wife is the one who said it, and it is the truth. Haha.”
Zhan Yichen said helplessly, “Grandma, could you please not laugh so freely? My face is turning red already. Grandma, we will head over soon. That is all for now.”
After being publicly called out by his wife, Zhan Yichen quickly hung up the phone. He did not want to listen to his grandmother’s unrestrained laughter anymore.
Once he put down the phone, Zhan Yichen asked his beloved wife, “Wife, did you really hate me that much back then? Did you think I was deliberately making things hard for you?”
Ning Yun Chu replied, “Back then I just felt you were asking for too much. I even thought you were targeting me on purpose, wanting to see me make a fool of myself. You knew perfectly well that I could not see, yet the walk from my flower shop to your company was quite a distance. Walking there and back to deliver flowers was really exhausting for me.”
“But I did not know what I had done to offend you. I run a business, and when a customer makes a request, as long as I can fulfil it, I have to try my best to satisfy them. So I gritted my teeth and delivered the flowers to you.”
Zhan Yichen pulled her into his arms and said apologetically, “Wife, I am sorry. I used the wrong approach. Back then I knew you could not see, but I thought that if you ever came looking for me, it would help train you a little, get you used to the route from your shop to my company.”
“After I found out you were the one I was going to marry, I had already decided I would be your eyes for the rest of my life.”
“Some difficulties in life still need to be overcome by you personally.”
Ning Yun Chu said, “It has been so many years. I stopped being angry with you long ago. If it were not for you, I would not have regained my sight.”
“About me taking liberties with you… mm, that was because I could not control myself. But I was still wrong. Later I apologised to you properly.”
After that, he treated her with great respect. Before marriage, if she was unwilling, he would not even dare to kiss her, afraid she would get upset.
Ning Yun Chu suddenly wrapped her arms around him, gave him a quick bite on the lips, then let go before he could react. She swiftly rolled off the bed to avoid being caught by him, or else they would end up in another round of lingering kisses.
Who knows how long it would take before they could get out of bed then.
When Zhan Yichen finally reacted, he really wanted to grab his wife, but unfortunately he was a step too slow. Ning Yun Chu had already escaped.
He said with a little annoyance, “Wife, you have learned bad habits.”
Ning Yun Chu laughed and replied, “This is me paying you back. Back then you kissed me without my permission. Now I kiss you without yours. So we are even. No more digging up old scores.”
She walked into the walk-in wardrobe, picked out an outfit, brought it out, and asked her husband, “Husband, does this outfit look good on me?”
Zhan Yichen had already got out of bed and followed her over. Seeing the clothes she was holding, he said, “You look good in anything. But I would much rather see you in a long skirt. It looks really beautiful on you.”
“Wife, since the weather is not cold yet, could you wear a skirt for me to see?”
Zhan Yichen walked over and coaxed her gently.
