Yi Qianfan had actually wanted to ask Su Xiaoning this question at noon.
But she stammered and said she wanted to report a cooking class.
She really doesn't know how to lie properly.
She's such a sensible and capable young girl, yet she can't even cook, who would believe such a lie?
"Nothing happened to me."
She smiled and denied it.
The man sitting in the driver's seat spoke again, "If you're short of money, you can tell me. Although I've only been working for a few years, my income is still pretty good."
Speaking of which, Yi Qianfan couldn't help but show off, "This car was bought with my own money, over 200,000 yuan, and all my classmates are very envious of me."
Su Xiao Ning looked at him with big eyes full of admiration, "Senior is indeed very impressive."
"I wish I could be as awesome as you someday, senior."
Yi Qianfan smiled complacently, "As long as you work hard, there's nothing that can't be obtained."
"By the way, Xiao Ning, you haven't told me where you live yet!"
Su Xiaoning quietly reported the address of Swan Lake Villa.
Yi Qianfan was stunned for a long time, "Is that the Swan Lake Villa community in the exclusive villa area for the rich?"
Su Xiaoning nodded, "There shouldn't be a second Swan Lake Villa community, right?"
Yi Qianfan's eyes were wide with shock for a long time, "You... what does your husband do?"
The villas on the side of Swan Lake are so expensive that many people don't even dare to think about them.
"He seems to be unemployed."
Su Xiaoning replied truthfully, "Every day at home drinking tea and listening to the news, chatting with Bai Guan's family and Old Zhou..."
"Is he a rich second generation?"
"I suppose so."
Yi Qianfan's smile froze on her face, "Then you married him... should be quite happy."
"However."
Yi Qianfan furrowed his brow, "Since he's so rich, why did you have to go out and take on a part-time job to earn money?"
If that man is good to her, she just has to bat an eyelash and he'll fork out a large sum of money for her.
The rich second generation who can afford to live in Swan Lake Villa without working must be extravagant beyond measure.
Su Xiaoning took a deep breath and had already begun to regret telling Yi Qianfan everything, "He doesn't know about my part-time job, and I don't want him to know either."
"I really just wanted to go outside and learn some cooking skills to surprise him..."
"But..."
"Senior, if you keep prying into my personal affairs, I'll get angry."
Su Xiaoning let out a sigh, Yi Qianfan's repeated questioning about Mo Chenyuan made her feel uncomfortable, Su Shaoping blackmailed her, she came out to make money, these things were her family affairs, she didn't want anyone to know.
Yi Qianfan didn't expect Su Xiaoning, who usually had a good temper, to say something like that. Embarrassed, he could only laugh softly and say, "Alright, I won't ask anymore. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
Afterwards he indeed didn't ask about her again.
The two of them remained silent until Yiqianfan's car stopped in front of the Swan Lake Villa District.
He originally wanted to send her back to her home downstairs.
Ke Naihe's car was too shabby compared to the luxury cars in the neighborhood, and he was stopped by the security guard who suspected him of having ulterior motives.
Plus Su Xiaoning hadn't been around here for long and the security guard didn't recognize her, so both of them were rejected at the door.
"Senior, you go back first."
Su Xiaoning smiled awkwardly at Yi Qianfan and said, "I'll just call my family to come pick me up."
Yi Qianfan nodded, "It's better this way, otherwise your husband would have seen it and misunderstood again."
After seeing the car with Yi Qianfan drive away, Su Xiaoning took out her phone and called Li Shu, telling her that she was blocked at the door.
Two minutes later, a formally dressed white-collar worker appeared at the entrance of the residential area, "Madam, sir has asked me to come and pick you up."
Su Xiao Ning's eyes widened.
If I'm not mistaken, it's already past 9 o'clock at night.
Mo Xian didn't sleep?
It seems that he noticed Su Xiaoning's confusion, and Bai Guan bowed his head respectfully, "The master is still waiting for you to go back and have dinner."
"It's so late already, hasn't he eaten yet?"
Su Xiaoning's facial features twisted in surprise.
"Alright then, if you're worried about your husband, let's hurry back."
Su Xiaoning didn't dare to delay any longer and followed Bai Guanjia quickly towards the villa area.
Seeing Su Xiaoning's backpack was a bit heavy, Bai Guanjia dutifully stopped her and took down her backpack. He carried it as the two of them quickly left the entrance of the residential area.
Under a tree shade several hundred meters away from the entrance of the residential area, Yi Qianfan frowned heavily as he watched Su Xiaoning and the middle-aged man in black leave.
He never asked Su Xiaoning about her husband's age, it was because he had already guessed from what she said about drinking tea and listening to the news that her husband must be a man of considerable age.
But he didn't expect that it would be someone of such an old age.
The man's eyes narrowed.
She's not that kind of greedy and vain person, probably because something happened in her family, she would marry a middle-aged man for money?
That man may be able to give her many things, but he won't give her love.
Sooner or later, he will take her back.
Su Xiao Ning nervously followed Bai Guanjia back to the villa, where the man with a black cloth covering his eyes was leaning in his wheelchair listening to Old Zhou reading to him.
She walked in when Old Zhou was reading the part of Anna Karenina where Anna made up her mind to divorce Karenin.
Su Xiaoning frowned unhappily.
She had just gotten married, and Old Zhou started reading "Anna Karenina", a book that makes people yearn for love no more. Whoever would be happy about it?
But the man in the wheelchair didn't speak until Old Zhou had finished reading the entire passage, at which point he tapped the armrest of his wheelchair with one hand and said calmly, "I just heard the sound of a door opening. Has someone arrived?"
Lao Zhou raised his eyes and took a glance at Su Xiaoning before bowing his head again. "Sir, Madam has returned."
"What time is it now?"
9 o'clock in the evening.
The man leaning on his wheelchair laughed and said, "I probably haven't eaten this late in ten years."
Su Xiao Ning's face turned pale, she helped Li Shu to put dishes on the table with a guilty conscience, and whispered, "Actually, you don't have to wait for me."
"I... I have an exam soon, and I've been reviewing until very late recently."
Mo Chen didn't bother to expose her lie either, "Let's eat."
Su Xiaoning nodded silently, but her heart was filled with anxiety.
He should...not have found out she was lying?
She rarely lied from childhood to adulthood, and every time she told a lie, she would be frightened for a long time.
In order to cover up her own guilt, she deliberately chose a position far away from him when eating.
But she had just sat down for a short while when the man in the wheelchair slightly furrowed his brow, "Come over."
"What's going on... what's going on?"
"Feed me."
