366: Call me Hubby

Call me Hubby

Xi Ting walked to the dining room, and sat down. He looked at the two plates of ribs and steak on the table and saw that Qin Yan was reaching for the ribs with her chopsticks.

He hesitated for a while and grabbed her hand, "It's better not to eat it. It's already burnt, it won't taste good, and it won't be healthy to eat it. I'd better throw it out."

"Don't," Qin Yan slapped his hand away and placed the pork ribs into the bowl, "Isn't this edible? Why are you throwing it away? It's such a waste."

Xi Ting frowned, "But it's burnt."

"It's not very burnt," Qin Yan looked at the black mess in the bowl and said against her conscience, "It just looks a little different. I tried it just now and it tastes pretty good."

After all, this was the first meal Xi Ting had prepared for her. A spoiled and pampered Young Master was willing to cook for her. No matter what he did, it was hard to come by his kindness.

She cherished it. This man had done so much for her. How could she not cherish him? She wanted to be with him forever.

However, recalling her conversation with Madam Xi made her upset. That conversation had ended on bad terms.

Since Madam Xi wanted her to divorce Xi Ting, she definitely wouldn't let it go so easily. If the negotiation failed, the former definitely wouldn't let it go.

Qin Yan was able to keep her heart firm. Xi Ting wasn't a mommy's boy, and the Old Madam was someone she could rely on. Hence, she wasn't afraid of Madam Xi interfering.

She was only worried that Madam Xi would go for the people around her. If Qin Yan pushed her too hard, this might not be impossible.

Qin Yan hesitated to tell Xi Ting about it.

However, she could not control herself from asking, "Ah Ting, you will never leave me, right?"

Xi Ting was stunned by this sudden question. He could not respond for a few seconds after which he came back to his senses.

"Cookie, why are you suddenly asking me this? Don't you know how much I love you?"

"I know, but I just wanted to ask. Can you answer me?"

The man nodded without hesitation, "I'll never leave you."

"Then, what if…" Qin Yan thought about Madam Xi and hesitated to say it.

"If what?"

"What if someone doesn't like us and objects to us being together?"

"Mm? What has it got to do with us whether others like us or not? Moreover, who's to object to our relationship? Cookie, no one has the right to interfere or object to my decision."

Xi Ting looked at her thoughtfully, "Cookie, why are you suddenly asking this? Did anyone say anything to you?"

"No, I'm just asking casually," Qin Yan decided not to tell Xi Ting about Madam Xi. He and Madam Xi were already in a conflict, and if she told him about it again, it might cause another conflict between them.

This wasn't what she wanted to see.

After Madam Xi spoke to her, there wasn't anything else. She had decided to observe for a while.

If Madam Xi caused any more trouble, she would decide whether to tell Xi Ting.

Xi Ting looked at her deeply again, not believing that she was just asking casually.

He narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he didn't continue asking. Since she didn't want to say it, he couldn't get anything out of her.

"Let's eat first," Qin Yan avoided Xi Ting's probing gaze and picked up a piece of chicken, "I haven't made this since a long time. Try it and see how it tastes."

"Mm," Xi Ting didn't continue the topic. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up the chicken that Qin Yan had placed in his bowl.

"How is it?" Qin Yan looked at him expectantly, "Is the chicken too tough? Is it flavorful enough?"

Qin Yan had some confidence in her culinary skills. Although her culinary skills couldn't be compared to that of a chef, she wasn't much inferior.

Especially this dish of Kung Pao Chicken. It was one of her specialties.

Xi Ting chewed carefully and only turned to look at her after swallowing the food, "It's delicious."

"Really?" Qin Yan smiled happily, "You're not lying to me, right? If you don't like it, you can tell me directly. I'm not afraid of criticism."

"I'm not lying to you," Xi Ting said seriously, "It's delicious. It's the best dish I've eaten since I was young."

Qin Yan was speechless. Even if he was trying to make her happy, this was too much. She knew her standards. He had been eating the dishes prepared by the top chefs since he was a child, so he was really picky.

"It's true," Xi Ting seemed to be afraid that she wouldn't believe him, "I really think this is the best dish I've ever had. The taste is very special, very different from other dishes."

"Special?" Qin Yan rested her chin on one hand and blinked curiously, "How is it special?"

"I can't describe it, either," Xi Ting smiled and said gently, "It probably tastes like home, so it's very different. Cookie, this is the food you personally cooked for me, I'll definitely finish it all."

Yes, the smell of home. Hence, it was unique. Besides her, no one else could do it.

At this moment, Xi Ting looked at the person sitting beside him, and then at the food on the table. He felt unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.

It felt so good to have a family.

Xi Ting was very nice to Qin Yan for this meal. He almost finished the two dishes that she had made.

As for the steak and ribs he made, Qin Yan only had a taste before Xi Ting forcefully threw them into the trash can.

In his words, he was worried that she would eat something bad.

After dinner, Qin Yan was chased to the living room to watch television. She wanted to help clear the dishes in the kitchen, but Xi Ting rejected her.

Qin Yan leaned lazily on the sofa in the living room and looked at the man running around the dining room and kitchen. She couldn't help but take a picture of him clearing the leftovers on the table.

She then admired the photo for a while.

Xi Ting packed up and came out of the kitchen.

Seeing Qin Yan sitting on the sofa in a daze with her cell phone in her hand, looking like she had a lot on her mind, he quickly walked over, sat down beside her, and pulled her into his arms.

"What are you thinking about?" He looked down at her cell phone. As soon as he saw Qin Yan gazing at his own picture, he smirked, "Like what you see?"

Qin Yan came back to her senses and blushed immediately. She looked up at his handsome face and couldn't suppress the sweetness and warmth in her heart. She hesitated for a while after which she took the initiative to kiss him.

"I love you."

The man was obviously not very satisfied with her light kiss. Qin Yan had just moved away when he pulled her back.

He placed his hand on the back of her head and lowered his handsome face. He gently touched the corner of her lips and said in a low voice, "A simple kiss cannot satisfy me."

Qin Yan blinked and gulped, "Then, what else do you want?"

Xi Ting pretended to think for a while and whispered, "Call me Hubby. Cookie, I want to hear you call me Hubby."

Qin Yan was speechless.

"But we are not married yet.."

"So what? Don't girlfriends nowadays call their boyfriends hubby like a nickname?"0

"They do, but.."

"This isn't hard to say, right? Call me Hubby?"

Qin Yan looked at the man's handsome face and couldn't help but blush. She bit her lip and hesitated for a while before saying softly, "Hubby."

Xi Ting's eyes narrowed, "Call me that again."

Qin Yan was speechless.

"Be good, call me again."

Thinking about his good performance today, Qin Yan decided to agree to whatever he asked for, "Hubby."

Her voice was soft and sweet. She usually spoke softly and sweetly, and the way she addressed him was so sweet.

Xi Ting's heart melted.

Qin Yan couldn't help but shudder when the man's warm and moist lips touched hers. She said, "You did well today. Is there any reward you want?"

"Mm, let me think…"

Xi Ting kissed her on the lips and bit it. He seemed to treat her lips as a delicacy. After tasting it several times, he murmured hoarsely, "I want you. Can I?"

Qin Yan was already dizzy from his kiss. She only snapped back to her senses when she felt his hand enter her collar.

She held him down, "Mm… Xi Ting, no…"
