“No… nope…” Shao Yunduan finally understood what he should say. But the sour and sweet taste was on his tongue, stimulating every cell in the mouth. He mumbled. “Not sour, sweet.’
Qiao Xuan suddenly realized why he had reacted in that way. She chuckled inwardly, feeling a bit proud.
Her husband could be teased so easily? So thin-skinned?
Qiao Xuan added. “For real? You want to try one more?”
Shao Yunduan stiffened and looked at the girl in front of him.
In the dim light, she had raised her head to look at him, her moist black eyes smiling a little. She was holding a plum in her slender hand and was holding it next to his lips.
At this moment, he only had her in his eyes, and the lights from far and near and the noise of pedestrians coming and going had become the background.
He opened his mouth slightly, approaching her hand cautiously. He quickly grabbed the sweet and sour plum, and hurriedly retreated, for fear that his lips would touch her finger again abruptly.
She had intended to take advantage of him and tease him. She wanted to continue asking if he hated her or not. But this man was so honest that he just did not want to offend her.

Qiao Xuan supported that and chuckled. “I bought so many things already?”
Shao Yunduan smiled. “Not many, you like them.”
Qiao Xuan felt her heart sweeten. She leaned her head and smiled at him. “Really? Can you give me anything I like?”
Shao Yunduan felt his heart throbbing. It felt as if her words carried a deeper meaning. He nodded without looking at her. “Of course.”
“What if you regret it!” Qiao Xuan sounded very sad.
Shao Yunduan felt his heart break after hearing that. He added. “No, never!”
Qiao Xuan’s eyes sparkled as she said, “Oh okay, but you should remember that only you can give me what I want, and you can’t share it with anyone else, got
Shao Yunduan was startled.
Then he felt his heart beating fast.
Right after, he was taken aback.
What did she mean? Was it what he was thinking about?
Shao Yunduan felt an urge to ask her but stopped himself..
