John neither used WeChat or Alipay, nor did he bring any cash with him. Knowing this, Nina took out her mobile phone and was about to pay.
"We'll buy them tomorrow," John said, stopping Nina.
He would not allow his wife to pay for the things he intended to buy for her.
He was not going to lose face like that.
"Set them aside, and don't let anyone else touch them. I'll come to buy them tomorrow." Hearing John's words, the cashier simply nodded and did not say anything.
"Thank you," John said. Nina put her phone away, and the two of them left the store hand in hand.
On their way back, Nina asked, "Why did you give me the principal card?"
"Because I want to. And why did you freeze it?" John asked.
"I want to leave you some money in case you go bankrupt one day," Nina answered bluntly.
John turned his head at her, speechless.
To this day, she was still thinking that he would go bankrupt someday.
"I've never seen a CEO who comes to work late and leaves early." Nina sighed and shook her head.
All the things that happened in the past kept rolling in her mind.
She understood that it was natural for men to get an erection in the morning. Other men calmed down by themselves, but John was different. He needed someone to help him calm down.
John let go of Nina's hand and wrapped his arm around her waist. He pulled her close until their sides were pressed together. With a faint smile on his lips, he asked, "Is it my fault then?"
"Are you trying to put the blame on me?" Nina said and rolled her eyes.
"You're the one who always asks me not to leave," John whispered in Nina's ear and patted her waist gently.
This time, Nina was the one who was speechless.
Her husband was so shameless.
He had always been the one to take the initiative, taking advantage of the fact that she could not resist him.
"And what about leaving work early? Do I make you do that, too?" Nina playfully elbowed John on the side.
"No," John answered, giggling. "But I do that because of you."
Nina just smiled and quit arguing.
They walked back to Nina's apartment. When they arrived, Chester and Michelle were sitting on the floor of the living room and playing Lego. Nine was lying next to them, watching them intently. The dog helped them look for missing pieces from time to time.
Chester excused himself, stood up, and went to the bathroom.
Hearing John and Nina come in, Nine immediately stood up and ran to them, jumping up on her.
"Hello, Nine. Did you miss your sister?" Nina bent down and scratched Nine's ear.
Nine happily jumped up on John as well. John bent down and scratched Nine's ear like Nina did. He said, "It seems that he missed his brother more."
Once again, Nina rolled her eyes at her husband.
She did not expect him to call himself Nine's brother.
She looked at him with an unreadable expression and asked, "Are you really my husband?"
John looked at Nina with wide eyes.
Was there any problem?
"Of course I am," he replied. Seeing the suspicious look on Nina's face, John stood straight and scooped her up in his arms. He carried her to the bedroom.
Putting her arms around her husband's neck, Nina smiled and said, "You are indeed my husband."
He stopped walking for a moment, looking like he wanted to laugh.
She gently patted his chest and flashed him a knowing smile.
After entering the bedroom, John kicked the door shut behind them.
Michelle sat there with her head tilted to one side. "Did those two even notice I'm here?" she wondered aloud.
"What's wrong?" Chester asked, returning from the bathroom. "Uncle John and Aunt Nina were just here. Where are they now?"
Michelle smiled and said, "Good, you see me. I'm not invisible."
Chester squinted in confusion.
He thought, 'Is there anything wrong with my brain because I haven't read books for a long time?
