She tapped his hand and said, “I’m eating, wait a while.”

She reached out and took the glass of milk in the tray. The temperature was just right. With her other hand, she took the sandwich and started eating it at her own pace.

Jin Qingyan retracted his hands and, using his arm to support his head, he looked at her incredulously. “Eat more, then you’ll have the energy to do work with me.”

An Xiaoning turned around and commented as she ate, “Did you know? Last night, I got a huge scare. Thinking of it now still gives me the shivers.”

“I heard from Shixin already. Told you to bring people out, you just didn’t listen. If you don’t listen to your husband’s words, you are bound to suffer.”

An Xiaoning responded obediently, “Alright, alright. I’ll definitely listen to you next time and bring people out.”

“Babylifewasgoodtomebutyoujustmadeitbetternull, Ilovethewayitstandbymethroughanykindofweathernull…”

Jin Qingyan’s phone kept ringing, but he seemed like he was not about to answer.

An Xiaoning gulped down the glass of milk and passed him the phone, conveniently looking at the caller ID on the screen. “It’s still ringing. It’s your mother. Quickly answer, something may have happened.”

“Usually, when I’m doing something important, I wouldn’t want to answer any other person’s calls.” He received his phone and slid it to answer. “Mother.”

“I’ve knitted a hat for Xiaoning. It’s already done. When you come here, bring it back for her,” Mrs. Jin’s voice sounded from the other end of the line.

“Alright, I’ll take it when I’m going back. I’m busy now, I’ll end the call, okay, Mother?” Jin Qingyan ended the line and immediately switched off his phone.

“What did your mother say?”

“She said she’s hand-knitted a hat for you, it’s already done. She wants me to take it for you when I go back.” Jin Qingyan raised his eyebrows. “Look, my mother’s so nice to you. She’s thinking of you all the time.”

“I’m nice to her too, it’s called reciprocating her care for me,” An Xiaoning rebutted. “You’re still the fortunate one. Don’t you know many mothers of rich families don’t get along well with their daughters-in-law? Look at me and your mother, we get along so harmoniously. If your mother continues to treat me this nicely, I’ll continue being nice to her too.”

“You’re the daughter-in-law my mother and grandmother picked. If she’s not nice to you, who should she be nice to?” Jin Qingyan grabbed onto her arm and forcefully pulled her in front of him. “Are you done eating?”

“I’m just done. I’ll brush my teeth again.” She struggled to get up.

“I’ll wait for you.” He released his hand. “I’ll give you two minutes.”

“Two minutes is enough.” She stood up and headed towards the bathroom.

Jin Qingyan stretched his body, with both his arms supporting the back of his head. His eyes comfortably scanned around his bedroom. It was his home, along with his wife here with him. All that was lacking was a child.

An Xiaoning came out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth and saw Jin Qingyan staring at the ceiling, acting just like a fool.

“What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking about our home.”

She was slightly puzzled and asked as she crawled onto the bed, “What’s there to think about, isn’t this our home?”
