The city was a special economic zone, so even at night, the streets were still overcrowded. People did all kinds of things, going to work, going out to eat, going shopping, or just going home. When they walked outside, Kevin always held Leena close in his arms, sheltering her from all the other busy people.
Walking the busy streets with a Major General was definitely going to turn some heads. Other women looked at the pair with obvious interest. Leena had expected this. But seeing other women enchanted with her hubby still made her unhappy. Leena could tell from their eyes that they couldn't help but be a little jealous of her, because she was the one in the handsome man's arms.
"All the girls are looking at you again." Leena couldn't help but pucker up her lips, her tone betraying a trace of jealousy and possessiveness. When this kind of thing happened when she was out with her brothers, she hadn't thought much about it -- because they were all her brothers, and she didn't need to be jealous. But Kevin was different. He was her husband, after all. So Leena, being the possessive type, could do nothing but complain.
"I didn't do anything!" It sounded like an accusation. Kevin didn't understand where this came from, because he didn't even look at other women. All his attention was solely on Leena.
"Exactly! You didn't do anything, but they still think you're hot. And it's so annoying." Leena rolled her eyes at him. She wanted to hide him away from everyone. She knew this wasn't logical, and it wasn't Kevin's fault for being so handsome and enticing. But she just couldn't help it. Who would have thought that Leena would be so possessive once she fell in love with somebody? Certainly not her.
"Don't worry. They're looking at me, but I only have eyes for you, bae. You should feel proud of yourself for nabbing a great guy like me." Kevin was clearly very satisfied with himself. What did she want him to do, anyway? Wear a brown paper bag? Then suddenly, he pulled Leena into a ceramics shop.
"You're impossible." Leena glanced at him. She couldn't deny that Kevin was really a great and outstanding man. And she was lucky.
"That's all right, because I'm only impossible around you. Hey beautiful, look at these! You like them?" Kevin picked up a pair of ceramic dolls and turned his head to ask Leena. He seemed quite excited over the dolls. They looked cute.
"You want to buy them?" Leena took the pair of dolls from Kevin's hands, and examined them closely. To be honest, she was not very fond of ceramic knick-knacks. But she had to admit the dolls were quite lovely. And they were a couple just like Leena and Kevin. Leena was surprisingly quite fond of them.
"Yeah. Think we can find a spot for them?" Kevin looked around, but he didn't find anything else caught his eye. It seemed that the pair of dolls was the only interesting thing in the shop. Maybe for a rich girl like Leena, things like this were all a bit cheap and boring.
"Yeah. We can put them on the nightstand in our bedroom." Leena's eyes glinted with excitement. She was really fond of the dolls. And her bad mood finally lifted a bit. She needed something to distract her, and this was just the thing.
A gentle smile appeared on Kevin's face, seeing Leena's excitement. Naturally, he walked up to the register. But what he didn't expect was who he would run into next.
"Hey! Major General Gu, right?" The girl was chewing gum, dressed up like a punk kid. She sat on a stool, staring at Kevin, swinging her legs. She looked just like a thug, and dressed the part. Her hair was short on one side, long on the other. And it was green.
