He then stood up and took a bottle of wine from the dining table. He stood before Su Yue and chugged.

Su Yue watched his throat bob up and down, and she was worried that he would choke. So she tried to talk to him so that he could take a break. "You haven't told me why your phone was turned off the entire night."

Ming Ansheng's throat stopped moving for a few seconds. He then put the glass down and answered seriously, "I was on a plane."

Su Yue was shocked. "You were on a plane?"

Didn't he leave before them yesterday? Why was he on a plane?

Could he have flown somewhere else after?

"Yes." Ming Ansheng nodded. "I didn't have the chance to tell you. Something cropped up in Country M two days ago, so I had to postpone my flight by a day. I only saw your message when the plane landed."

"What cropped up?" Su Yue asked without thinking. "Is it regarding your work with that Dasmond?"

Ming Ansheng shook his head. "No. It's my friend. He's sick and I happened to be around so I went to visit him."

"Oh." Su Yue nodded to express her understanding.

She didn't bother asking who his friend was. She trusted him wholeheartedly.

"Did you skip dinner?" Ming Ansheng changed the topic. He then continued chugging the wine.

Su Yue patted her belly. "I ate as I cooked. I was full a long time ago."

Ming Ansheng's gaze fell on her hand, which was rubbing her tummy. There were a few red spots at the back of her arm, some were even blisters.

He quickly placed the wine bottle down and grabbed her hand, pulling it closer to him. He carefully observed it and his heart felt like it was breaking into two. "Silly girl, don't enter the kitchen anymore."

Having someone's heart ache for you was bliss. Su Yue enjoyed the feeling and she couldn't help but show him her childish side. "Don't you wish for me to be more domesticated?"

Ming Ansheng shook his head. "I don't need you to be. I don't need you to do anything."

Su Yue's eyes glimmered. "Really?"

Ming Ansheng nodded confidently.

"Alright then, I'm going to sleep in the small room. Sleep after you've finished the bottle." She pulled her hand out of his grasp and walked towards the room that she had slept in earlier on.

Ming Ansheng was speechless.

He stared after her for a while before he came to his senses.

Hey! This little lass learned how to set traps, and he had fallen into it unknowingly.

He grabbed the bottle of wine and stood up, sprinting over to her and sliding into the room before she could close the door.

"Yueyue." Ming Ansheng wound his arm around her waist, the wine bottle in his other hand.

He closed the door with his foot and took a swig. He then kissed her lips.

A mouthful of wine was delivered into her mouth.

"Yueyue, give it to me." Ming Ansheng kissed her as he pushed her towards the bed.

Su Yue nodded before delivering the wine back into his mouth.

Ming Ansheng was speechless.
